BLURB
An otherworldly, evil and dangerous force infests America’s oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida. Everyone living there, or visiting, is at risk in ways too horrible to imagine.
Standing between this invader and the people of St. Augustine are teenagers Jeff and Carla, the mysterious Native American shaman, Lobo, and Lyle, the homeless guy.
In their quest to save themselves and all the inhabitants of this ancient Florida city, Jeff and Carla uncover lost parts of St. Augustine history, push past the limits of space and time, and come face-to-face with what they come to realize are the true walking dead.
EXCERPT
“You
don’t ever have to be captured by what flows through your mind ever again like
you are right now. You are not a slave to your thinking and emotions unless you
allow it. You know this because of what you experienced with your ancestor back
in December. Just focus on that sign in the store beyond the traffic and you’ll
see what I mean.”
When
Lobo mentioned being a slave to what my mind creates, I didn’t like that. No
way, I told myself. Even though I knew he had to be creating those weird images
in my mind somehow, it was hard to tear my attention away from the weirdness
rolling by in front of me.
After
trying and failing three or four times to read that sign, I got very frustrated
and wished strongly I could just stop the flow of traffic so I could do as Lobo
asked.
Right
as I had that thought, the wording Lobo wanted me to concentrate on in the
store window across the street finally snapped into focus. And instantly, the
parade of strangeness passing in front of me evaporated, bringing back the
usual cars, trucks and motorcycles.
And
as I recognized each letter on that sign, the traffic in front of me slowed
more and more. A few seconds later, I was able to read the words to Lobo.
