***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "For every person you save, there is going to have to be somebody you can't." -Joe West, "The Flash" Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. White Shadows started setting things right. Alex Snow goes into his senior year wondering if he'll ever truly move on from the deaths of those he's loved. Fionna Lee isn't going to school, but is searching for a legendary artifact that, if it exists, could give her the power to go back in time and prevent her human counterpart's suicide. They'll reunite sooner than they think. When they do, it'll be because something has gone catastrophically wrong. And even if they find a way to undo their mistakes, the fight - especially the fight against their consciences - could cost them dearly. (Fourth novel in the Red Rain series.

***CAMP NANOWRIMO APRIL 2017 - CERTIFIED*** ***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "Lately I've been thinking.

Living by it is another." -Michael Schofield, "Prison Break" Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. White Shadows started setting things right.

Alex Snow just wants to have an easy-going Christmas with his friends back in the mortal world, though he can't help but miss those he's lost. Two more brothers, both with their own long history of daddy issues, are working to protect them. Divine intervention, however, may not be enough when one enemy is the Peppermint Corporation, with its lack of qualms about tampering with history, and the other uses his divine origins to mask his true, devilish nature.

Oh and Alex's taste in music is really great!" @DarcyStayne "These should be legit novels...it's basically perfection wrapped up in an angelic (and demonic?) box." @Fever09

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "Surprise! This is a different kind of superhero story!" -Deadpool Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. Luca Scagliotti used to be on the sidelines as far as the increasingly weird - and lethal - goings-on in the life of his best friend were concerned. Alex Snow no longer wanted to be involved, especially after losing the two people he loved the most in the space of only a few months. Destiny had other plans. The war against Preston Holly and his armies of light scrivs will be fought on two fronts - one for each of the two universes, Prime and Second. As they get dragged into this fight to save the mortal souls of both 'verses, Luca and Alex will reunite with loved ones, race to prevent acts of terror, and confront the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife which have spent so long boggling their minds. (Third in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "I think my mind may have just been blown." @WhenWeBleed

***FRIGHT FEST 2016 GOLD WINNER*** "There are two kinds of people who sit around thinking about how to kill other people: psychopaths and mystery writers." -Richard Castle "Don't make promises you can't keep, Mr. Parker." "Yeah, but those are the best kind." -"The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) Heaven and Hell aren't above or below Earth. If you want to find them, you should be looking sideways. Teenage angel Alex Snow has a very weird life - his twin brother Gabe is a demon, he has few friends, he doesn't get out much, his tastes in pop culture are quirky at best...and one of his classmates has just been horribly murdered. Soon, more dead bodies start to pop up in town, and Alex and Gabe discover that the killer is someone to whom they are inextricably connected, despite having never met. (First in the Red Rain Series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "Technically sound, brilliant quality, full of intelligence with a dash of dark humour and a touch of science fiction." -Finn Arlett "It's escapist and I enjoyed every minute of reading it." -Gavin Hetherington "This captivated and intrigued me in many different ways...I personally haven't read anything similar to it." @kirrencee "You're a spinner, Ricky. A kick-butt weaver of tales with twists that only a non-novice could compose. Mad kudos..." -Michelle E. Hayes "I just sat on my bed for 2 hours straight in the night reading Red Rain until I finished it!!...It's so addictive." @Phoenix39736 "Amazing book! Can't wait to read the rest." @SarahJayneBrown
