Blood Moon (The Rowan Gant Investigation) - Softcover
AND THE MOON BECAME AS BLOOD...
Hell has a way of changing a person; I'm proof of that, because I've spent the last several years there--figuratively, of course--although I sometimes wonder if there really is any difference. Am I living proof? Well, that remains to be seen. I'm alive, yes, but I'm not sure I'm what you would call living.
My name is Rowan Gant, and I'm a Witch. Unfortunately, I'm not just your average, run-of-the-mill Witch. I'm afflicted with a horrible curse--I can hear the voices of the dead. Murder victims for the most part... The more heinous their deaths, the louder they scream inside my head, and that's my E-ticket ride on the proverbial "lake of fire." Trust me, skip it and go for the roller coaster.
The voices in my head are also why I used to have a love-hate relationship with the police. Most of them thought I was certifiable, and to be honest, I'm not so sure they were wrong. A few were more open-minded about my ability. Even so, love me or hate me, they all agreed on one thing--I cleared cases for them.
But, that was then... I'm retired now, and I'm putting all of that behind me. They say the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long... If that's true, I must have burned like a blowtorch, because I've got nothing left to give; not even a spark. I just want to go back to normal. I want to return to the days before the spirits of the dead started using me as a marionette in the world of the living.
So, like I said, I'm retired now, or that's what I keep telling myself, anyway.
You see, there's a little snag in my new life plans--apparently the dead won't accept my resignation...

From the Inside Flap:
Just Imagine... It's 2:17 AM.
You've only slept 4 hours out of the past 48. You have a blinding headache that would make a migraine seem like a pleasant distraction. On top of that, the handful of aspirin you took for it 30 minutes ago is making your stomach churn in a very unpleasant way.
Now, just imagine that even with all of that making your life a living hell, it doesn't end there. Instead of being at home where you can suffer in private, you are on the opposite side of town, standing smack dab in the middle of a disgustingly brutal crime scene--the third in as many days.
Cops and evidence techs are watching with jaded expressions as you literally channel the final moments of the murder victim's life through your own mind and body, right before their eyes.
The horror... The fear... The pain...
You see and feel it all, as if your own isn't already enough...
And, by the way, even though the cops asked you to be here, most of them think you belong in an institution, specifically one that is outfitted with padded walls.
Yeah, I know... It sounds like some kind of nightmare, doesn't it? Well, welcome to my world. Be glad you aren't me because this curse that is my life doesn't stop at being a nightmare.
No. It is all too real...
My name is Rowan Gant, and I'm the unofficial Witch for the Greater Saint Louis Major Case Squad.
I'd quit the job, but the dead won't let me...

Blood Lust Under The Gateway Arch...
Consulting for the Greater Saint Louis Major Case Squad has become an almost full-time job for Rowan-as well as a deeply ingrained part of his life. Still, his desire for the once normal existence he enjoyed - one that was devoid of crime scenes and horrific visions - fuels a deep reluctance to get involved. However, when a long time enemy within the police force and an insistent spirit both demand the benefits of Rowan's unique talents, he is thrust into a new murder investigation where blood and fangs are all the rage.
But as questions are answered and truth revealed, a thread of deception unravels in the encroaching darkness, leaving the unofficial Witch of the Major Case Squad to wonder who he can really trust.
