TRUTHSEEKERS: Welcome
to Blackriver, a collection of my serialized YA teen
angst/occult investigation stories, published by Sabledrake
Enterprises . Also available on Amazon.
Moving to a small town from the big city is a challenge that
can be hard enough for anyone. It's even harder for a teenage
girl, leaving behind her friends, her school, her mall, her
social life. After her parents are brutally murdered and fifteen-year-old
Ashley Bennett is sent to the small town of Blackriver, Ontario
to live with her only relative, her cousin Mark - a teacher
at her new school! - she thinks her life can't possibly get
any worse. But Ashley has no idea that the real challenges
have only just begun. Not only is she faced with the normal
teen experiences of making new friends, going to a new school,
and adjusting to her new life, she's about to discover a whole
hidden world that is both dark and strange. She's about to
discover that her parents' deaths were anything but random,
and that she herself might be in danger. Ancient conspiracies
... secret societies ... ghosts ... vampires ... cattle mutilations
and cults ... witches ... mysterious disappearances... this
eerily normal-seeming little town has it all, and Ashley ends
up smack in the middle of it whether she wants to be or not.
Now, to protect herself and her friends, Ashley must seek
the truth... the truth behind the TRUTHSEEKERS.
