When Claire Linden’s job sends her to the sleepy town of Gull Harbor, she never expects to encounter her ex-boyfriend.

Then, without explanation, he abandoned her on graduation day.

Max never intended to break Claire’s heart—a cruel ultimatum forced him to disappear from her life. While he’s shocked to find her in Gull Harbor, he isn’t surprised by the bitter resentment she feels for him…or the fiery attraction that remains between them.

Claire is determined to rid her temporary home of its aggressive ghost, but Max soon realizes she’s facing a danger beyond the paranormal. When Claire risks everything to help a desperate spirit, Max must race to save her—before another tragedy tears them apart forever.

Looking for God in All the Wrong Places

Nobody’s Here But Us is a story about the difference between the truth and a lie, and how they both can mold our lives and control every aspect of us. The prologue introduces a short story that replaces the Creation story in the Bible. Instead of “In the Beginning”, it uses the fairy tale words “Once upon a time.” The prologue sheds a new light on the stories and fables that we have heard for most of our lives.

The actual story takes place in the mid 1800’s in southern Louisiana, near Orleans during slavery. The main religion in the region is Catholic. The majority of the slaves practices Voodoo and worship the African god Dhumballa.

The main characters are twin freed slaves, Octavius and Octavia. Somehow, nature has given then the wrong bodies. He has more female hormones and she has more male hormones. This is shown more as they get older. Their mother, Ma Onnie, has no idea how their lives will unfold because of them being “cursed with the wrong body”. She sends Octavius to the church to learn the ways of the priesthood with Jean-Claude’s son, Louis, and she sends Octavia to the Voodoo queen, Renee, to learn the Dark Art.

Louis is confused like Octavius about his sexuality and they begin a long term relationship that continues while they are studying for the priesthood. Ma Onnie is unaware of how she has opened the gates of Heaven and Hell on Earth. The children embark upon a journey of a lifetime as they uncover many secrets and lies from the slaves and the masters of the plantation.

They have to decide what was really is the truth, but would they find out that the truth and a lie are one and the same?

Even Satan takes a lunch break. Of course, the apple is always at the top of the food pyramid.

In this case, the devil runs a television newsroom.

And the world of television news is always shaken, not stirred.

Start with Nick Romaine, a struggling reporter whose wife slept with his boss to get him a major market job. Take the aforementioned demon, add a dash of political corruption, and a pinch of organized crime. Pour all the players in a glass house, and mix violently.

Serve in a newsroom where employees have a funny habit of dying, and see if Nick drinks the Kool-Aid.

Nick is an ethical journalist who finds himself imprisoned by the very success he’s chased. His new high profile position makes him an unwilling part of a corrupt political machine that controls his news department and wants to rig an upcoming election. His wife can no longer be trusted. He’s alone and trapped; exposing his own station would end his career while playing along would destroy his soul. But Nick has a card up his sleeve even his wife doesn’t know about; a family member’s connection to organized crime. He must throw the rules out the window to save his career, and, as it turns out, his life. Or he could become the story.

Because while life isn’t cheap in television news, it can be deeply discounted.

Public Affairs is a story of the seductress known as fame and an industry that can easily tailor the facts to shape what we believe…

…and influence an election.
