A Marine seeks his destiny,
A mother seeks her son,
A devil seeks vengeance,
Heaven seeks its scion.

For the past three millennia, each generation of mortals produced an Avatar and an Offspring to recruit followers in an endless war between the Heavenly and Hellish Divine. 

Avatars wielded the lux, the benevolent power of light to chase away the darkness and help mortals live in peace and harmony. 

The Offspring dominated with the dark powers of the crux; enticing mortals through trickery and deceit. Shadow and pain followed in their wake.  

It is never known where they will manifest, but the Divine are ever vigilant, waiting for their progeny to once again walk the earth.

I wrote this story with the intentions of creating a good old-fashioned "man versus evil" action-horror. The story architecture is a throwback to all of those Saturday nights I spent watching Creature Features, and is a tribute to those old, simpler stories of good versus evil. 

This is the second edition of my first novel, Heaven Seeks. I hope you enjoy it.

The human race stands on the brink of extinction; the result of a plague the likes of which the world has never seen. When salvation comes, it isn't a miracle cure created by science or our government that saves us. No, our saviors are monsters. Jane appears to be nothing special. In fact, she's a sad sight to behold, afflicted by the sorrow of her tragic past and failing marriage. The young wife and mother of two finds herself just as terrified as every other soul when humanity faces doom. Yet, when hope seems lost, Jane does something even her estranged husband fails to--she fights. And she's not alone. David and his companions are what our world has dismissed as mere legend. Their duty to the human race brings them across the country--and they all know it is no coincidence when they cross paths with Jane. As it happens, Jane is special. She's destined to be the very center of our world's fate. With her heart divided and monsters from every nightmare seeking her out, Jane will quickly learn the greatest war is the one within. So what will she do when they realize she's the greatest monster of them all? ✦Gods & Monsters is the first book of the Gods & Monsters trilogy, an emotional and epic tale of one woman's battle against true monsters while she endures her greatest fight--the war with her own inner-demon. It's a story of loss, tragedy, war, good vs evil--a not so simple love-triangle--and supernatural beings like you've never seen them before.✦ Warning: this is only a sample
