What if YOU held the power to manipulate the well-being or the demise of many?
Joe Tenning thought he knew his father…he was wrong.
After 25 years of estrangement, Joe is unexpectedly summoned to the nursing home bedside of Charles Tenning. He reluctantly drives sixteen hours to a small Texas town to have closure on his dysfunctional parental relationship.
The reunion turns heated after Charles requests that Joe retrieve his journals located in his house a mile away. When Joe returns, he finds his father’s lifeless body. Foul play is suspect and he is suddenly entangled in unraveling a web of secrets about his father’s bizarre covert actions.
Joe accepts the help of Dr. Lillian Kent who has her own brand of patient care. Soon it becomes apparent that someone else is also seeking to learn more about his father’s past actions.
He is not Joe’s friend.
Despite the desire to return home, Joe now must wrestle with the disturbing consequences of his father’s work on himself, his loved ones, and the lives of thousands more.
If he does not, many more could die.

Diane loved creative writing as a child. Then one very influential college professor put an end to everything--at least for many years. She re-discovered her love to tell stories in 2002 when she developed her first feature length screenplay. That led Diane to become active in the independent film industry and she wrote, directed and produced several short films winning numerous awards for her efforts. She has written many feature-length screenplays, including one she also co-produced called Atrophy that premiered at the Phoenix Film Festival and where she was the recipient of the 2012 Arizona Filmmaker of the Year Award. After spending most of her life living in Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona, she moved to Texas in 2013. At that time she created a blog (dianedresback.com), and started to capture her story ideas into novels.
