In Drawn, mysterious little boy has begun appearing in the paintings of an artist who can’t remember ever actually seeing him. A partially blind, disfigured agoraphobic who suffers crippling panic attacks if he even tries to leave his apartment is forced out by an unseen entity. A lonely widower begins to suffer terrifying nightmares that his long-missing, presumed-dead son is still alive and in mortal danger. A young runaway realizes that a man he thought was his traveling companion is actually his captor…and a predator.

Sea Sick: A Novel of Horror and Suspense (4/5 stars, currently FREE)
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RELAXING…
Police Officer Jack Wardsley’s life ended the moment his partner died. Now, years later, he’s not the man he used to be. He has a head full of secrets and a lust for violence that seems to grow each day. His recent record of police brutality and a reputation for not following the rules has prompted his seniors to give him an ultimatum: take a few weeks off; relax and find some way to let go of all the anger – or else find another job.
That’s why Jack is about to board The Spirit of Kirkpatrick, a cruise liner built for five-star luxury. He’s there to work out his issues and try to rediscover the man he used to be. But it isn’t long, however, before Jack realizes that rest and relaxation is the last thing he’s going to get. A virus has found its way onboard and is making people insane. Soon the whole ship is overrun with blood and death. There is nowhere to escape.
But then Jack wakes up.
The day is exactly the same as the one he just lived through. In fact everything is the same; every detail. Jack will soon realize that he is stuck in a loop, forced to witness the mysterious virus ravage the ship and its passengers over and over again, day after day.
Escape is impossible, but there are others on-board who are trapped in time just like he is. And some of them may know more than they’re letting on.

One Amazon reviewer notes:
“I recommend the kindle edition because of the number of archaic words–the dictionary is there by simply highlighting a word. You may even know the word but you may not have the full sense of how it was used in the mid-1800’s.”
