She was the biggest angel Tommy had ever seen. Seven feet tall with wide shoulders and massive wings. It wasn't until he killed her that he realized she was different. She didn't have claws. Or fangs. And she was beautiful, the kind of beauty that made you want to grab your rosary and a drink and thank God you were still alive.
It had been a hundred years since the Storms had nearly wiped out humanity and turned the world into a desolate wasteland. Worse, the angels had come with them. Fanged creatures that terrorized what was left of the human race.If you had the guts, if you could stop your hands from shaking,they could be killed. Most people didn't have the guts. Most people let the ugly get to them.
Tommy wasn't most people.
He'd come back from the city to raise his daughter, but when the creature had swooped down out of the red sun and slaughtered eleven people, including his little girl, everything changed. They'd made him Sheriff because they were scared. Because they knew he could kill them.
But now,he wasn't sure. The giant angel was dead, courtesy of his sawed off shotgun, the same gun he now pointed at the child standing beside the body. No claws. No fangs. Just like her mother. Just like his daughter.
Tommy paused, then raised his gun.

From the Author:
This second edition does not have any substantive changes to it. It has a matte cover (my wife's preference) and a shortened bio at the back. Since I was making those few changes anyway, I did, like any author would, go back and re-write a few sentences that displeased me. If you are choosing between the two editions, this is the one to have.
About the Author:
