Something is hunting in the lakes of Southern Oregon. And it's just getting started.
The Rogue River Incident – Case XI, Book I
Part 1 of a 2-Book Thriller
When professional photographer Mitch Wilde's best friend is shot with a dissolving arrow that vanishes without a trace, the peaceful town of Rogue River, Oregon is thrown into chaos. The wound is real. The weapon? Impossible to explain.
As violent attacks escalate across the region, Mitch's eccentric neighbor—an investigator of unexplained phenomena—reveals chilling evidence: something invisible is stalking the Pacific Northwest. And it's getting bolder.
Then Mitch captures footage of a creature emerging from a nearby lake.
What begins as a mystery becomes a race for survival. The deeper Mitch investigates, the more he uncovers a terrifying truth—something ancient and powerful is awakening in the waters of Southern Oregon. Something that won't stop until everything in its path is destroyed.
With time running out and the body count rising, Mitch must expose the truth before Rogue River is consumed by an enemy no one can see.

My debut duology, The Rogue River Incident --- Case XI, Books I & II sprung from an idea I had while watching Ancient Aliens on the History channel. I intertwine my love of Native American culture and a passion for the Pacific Northwest, primarily my birth state of Oregon in the paranormal mystery. I sat down one day and started writing. The characters and story came to life as I pressed the keys on my laptop. Every session was as if I were reading something new myself for the first time. It was great fun seeing what happened. I challenged myself by taking thoughts I have had over the years watching Ancient Aliens and X-Files, as well as my love of Native American culture and my experience with all the time I spent in the outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. Bringing these ideas together in a novel was more fun than I ever imagined.
I was the first person getting to read a new creation. As a writer, there is something alluring about this little fact. I, of course, know the characters and scenes like no one else and this is something tantalizing and fun. Kind of like knowing a fantastic secret that you can't share with anyone. Yet.
