Synopsis

THE EVIL THAT FEEDS ON FEAR! The quiet suburb seems peaceful enough, until loner Donney Mann succumbs to the irresistible urge to Drive the web of the Southern California freeways, armed with a stolen .38-and the unspeakable need to fire it. He finds his victims soon enough-an old, black Cadillac alone on a dark stretch of highway. Three people witness the shooting. Three people see the Caddy crash. Three people know that no one left the wreck. But when the police arrive, they find the car empty of anything save blood. . .and the horror locked in its trunk.
One after another, the citizens of Tamarind Valley fall prey to something, or some thing, that feeds on fear and grows exponentially in power with each victim. Donney's brother Richard gradually realizes that he stands at the center of an expanding circle of evil. If he and his friends do not prevail, the evil will!

About this title

From the Author:

Tamarind Valley may seem like the quintessential Southern California suburb, filled with tree-lined streets and playing children and rolling acres of comfortable houses...but in reality, it is one scary, scary place to live.

First, there was THE HOUSE BEYOND THE HILL--an old, ramshackle place tucked far away on a secluded lane where no one can easily find it...but where Fear itself comes to visit, and stays to kill.

Then there was THE SLAB--where something went horribly wrong during the construction of an otherwise typical subdivision...and one house quietly consumes family after family that dares to live in it.

And now there is STATIC!--where two neighbors first experience friendship, then face fear, and finally spiral unknowingly and unwillingly into the ultimate in electronic identity theft...and replacement.

Feel free to visit Tamarind Valley. You may find thrills and chills, villains and victims, corruption, damnation...and, just perhaps, redemption.

Yes, do feel free any time to visit Tamarind Valley. Each time I visited, I met intriguing characters, explored unsettling landscapes, and spent long hours working through the darkness into the light. Emerging was a relief...but I did so enjoy visiting there.

However, I strongly recommend that you don't plan on living there.
