Captain Ed Angelus' son went missing over a year ago from a dock in Long Beach, California. Ed can't stop night searching--out on that black water looking for Teddy. Obsessed, he steals a high-tech tugboat for a few hours and what he finds out there in the deep water changes everything... This 16,000-word novelette is a tribute to horror master H.P. Lovecraft and a well-deserved nod to the hard-working men and women at the Port of Long Beach, CA.These books are current: CRASHING THROUGH MIRRORSBITE HARDERJUST SO YOU KNOW I'M NOT DEAD (three short stories)HARD BITE (novel, paperback and Kindle)THE 1ST SHORT STORY COLLECTIONDREAMING DEEP (coming soon from Uncanny Books)HARD BITE was named one of the Top Five Debut Novels 2013 by MYSTERYPEOPLE (Book People), the biggest indie bookstore in the Southwest (Austin, Texas), and won a Readers Choice Award 2012 from the House of Crime and Mystery (Canada).
