When I was young I had a passion for reading. Every chance I got I would bury my nose in a book to escape my life. Through bullying and school work I was miserable. But for those few short moments when I was reading I felt free from the real word. As I grew older I stopped reading for fun I was tired, tired of being different and tired of the ridicule. But now a few years later I began writing because I remember what is was like to want to escape reality and find comfort in a book. I am just starting out and would like to continue to write I hope you enjoy!

Updated at Jun 1, 2021, 12:21
In the town of Shallows Creek paranoia and surperstition run rampant in the populace fueled by the teachings of the church. A killer who can't be traced is targeting the wealthy and powerful causing an uproar in the townsfolk who blame vengeful spirits for these crimes. With no level heads in sight and the constables stumped they call on the service of the peculiar Doctor Kent Lockheart studier of the occult and human anatomy. A victim of superstitious mobs in his youth, he now strives to show the misguided masses that with reason and logic even the unexplained can be explained. With tid bits of humor and plenty of mystery to go around Lockheart must navigate through the dark side of humanity to prove that man is always the monster.
