Ocean Beach in San Francisco has been decimated by erosion. Sand
dunes turn to sheer drop offs. Locals go crazy, as the beach gets
closed off to the public. That's when the Sunsetters emerge, to
fight City Council to preserve their sacred playground. Follow a
grief-stricken surfer in his fight to avenge his dying surfspot and
make peace with his brother's untimely death from cancer. "I
started having my nightmares again. The cruel scepter of the
dreamworld gone sour punished my attempts to slumber. I had the one
about Andy. We are young in it. We are both standing on the beach
in Alabama somewhere. Darkness rolls over us as we shiver from
having no shirts just shorts. We run over the dunes to find our
path blocked by rising water. It crawls towards us as we turn back
towards the ocean. There is an eclipse. The sun lies behind the
moon in exact blackness outlined only by shadow. We are out of
breath. We near the shore and see a sailboat in the distance. We
wave and jump in hopes they will rescue us from the flood. They
head out to sea and disappear as the rain falls harder. Andy is
panicking. I tell him to relax. We just need a way out. The waves
grow bigger as the eye of the storm spins over our heads. Andy
screams at me for directions. Where do we go? What do we do? I look
down at my feet. They are bleeding. We are standing on oyster beds.
We are in blood drenched knee deep water. The sharks circle.The
wind howls. Waves are hitting my chest now. I struggle to move but
fall to my knees. My back is to the ocean. I turn and see Andy. A
giant wave consumes us. It rises quickly to great heights before
crashing with back breaking force. I feel myself go under. I cannot
find up. I swim for what feels like hours before reaching the
surface. I blackout like the sun. I wake up on the beach. The good
news is Andy is laid out facing away from me a few feet away. I
rush over calling his name and hear nothing. I yank him over. He's
dead. His face is colored the death shade blue. A gentle foam seeps
from his mouth. I call out for help. I try to breath life back into
him. I run for the dunes screaming for anyone. I round the top of
the first dune after slipping up its face. I gasp for air. The land
is gone. I am on an island of despair. Everything around me is
underwater. I rush back to find Andy. He is gone. I see more waves
coming. I bury my face in my hands in desperate prayer. They crash
into me anyway. I usually wake up flailing and moaning. I was
shackled to misery. It wore a filthy ring around my neck. I
scrubbed around the chains instead of shrugging them off. I let
that yoke of pain cripple me. I bore that burden once before. It
was put on me the day God took Andy away. Andy started coughing. He
didn't stop until his last breath left his body. There was nothing
I could do to give it back. He was taken from me. My parents
adopted him to upstage me, their star disappointment. They tried to
drive wedges between us but we were inseparable. Every time we went
to Panama City we rented surf boards. Andy was a natural. I
struggled to keep up. I never thought those golden days would end.
My memories of the waves and sunsets we shared power me through the
tough times. They take something out of me when I picture his face.
He was just a kid. Cancer didn't care. The surfing I found at Ocean
Beach saved my life. I knew I owed this place everything for giving
me those magical rides. I look for Andy out there when the tide is
high. I feel him pass me by when I'm on a long ride and the sun is
shining. I try to remind myself we will surf again one day. I try
to imagine the shores up there where he rides. I hope they are
gentle and steep. Andy liked the fast drops. I pray they cradle
him. I know he's waiting for me up there. Sometimes I see him with
his back to me, facing the water. I call his name. He waves and
gets on his board. He paddles away and the sun takes him back. I
chase after him but he laughs and tells me "Someday, bro...Someday.

and row away further from these only shores I've ever known.
Further than land can be seen. I will finally stop and just look up
at the stars that made me. I will let them transform me into light.
I will fly away to a heaven-like sphere. There, floating in the
rounded ether will be all the good childhoods, the kind parents,
and the lovers of the world. I will let myself join this new
cosmos. It will embrace me, fully. There, each song is a promise
and joy drips from long branches strewn with the harps and
discarded wings of the cherubs who've cocooned into full Angels.
Sweet manna will rain down from time to time. We take honey baths
and the milk bubbles. The sun always shines in my eternal place.
There is no more night or cold moon. There is no death-shade blue.
There is no nightmaring allowed. There is no day where it all ends
but you must have had endings while earthbound to make it feel like
forever does and can. And, you must marry yourself to feeling
everlasting peace to thrive here. If you cannot your wings won't be
issued. God will keep working on you until you let go. You spin
silk around you and wait to butterfly. Then, the birds of paradise
can flutter around you as you become one with the light. You look
down and behind you. You are finally flying. The nest that was your
earthly life has been left. You can now join eternity. Be careful.
You won't be able to stop it from becoming you. It will soon take
you over with a swift love. I pray you let it take you. I pray you
learn to let it sooth you. I pray you let it cradle your wounds
from this world as it heals them all. I pray you stop lying to
yourself if you are an addict. I pray you make it. If you do you
can hear the Angels sing. It is the sound of all souls before yours
singing, at once. It resounds through the universe and lights the
sky. If you don't stop, you won't hear it. You won't let it flicker
and drip. You will drown it out. You will only hear the howls. You
will try to tune them out. They come back louder with each
rejection. You can hear them now. Just go look in the mirror. Look
deep. Do you hear them? They are the downturned corners of your
mouth. They are your sad eyes. They are your jaundiced skin. They
are your bad breath. They are the messy bathroom. They are the
confused animal looking back. Stop their cries. Walk away now.
Never go back. They will only get louder. You can bury your head in
the dirt to try to get away from them but then your ass is waiting
to get kicked by something else. Just let go. What have they done
for you anyway? Don't let looking cool interfere with being human.
Drugs make you a slave animal. Take the jagged dagger out of your
hand and see what happens. I bet you start to see heaven all around
you...or at least a shimmer..." Let two-time Bestselling Kindle

and the de facto hero for the Purist/Hunter party of Vampires who
believe hunting human prey is the ONLY way to feed. After exposing
a political council member from the Self-Preservationist Party (who
are peaceful and aim for an altruistic relationship with Man)
Roland becomes the object of revenge by getting cursed. This story
is told as his curse is progressing. Roland is struggling to finish
it all before his mind leaves him. He also plays griot, or
storyteller, for the tiny community of undead that live on the Sea
Islands of the Carolinas and Georgia. This book of the undead

Plat-Eyes, and Swamp Haints. Zombie powder is a featured menu item
from local root doctors as are flight roots, invisibility roots,

chewed. The prized day walker root quickly becomes Roland's staple
for income. He mails them to friends all over the world. Roland

entirely from the bones from their feedings. The murals depict
early Vampire legend and myth, revealing a precursor ape,
hominid-like Vampire who was nocturnal and thrived on blood. As
they evolved, they became self-aware and were told that they were
placed on earth to wipe out greedy mortals who would inevitably
exploit and drain the planet God had created for them. The Undead
of the Low Country is a trilogy. Book One begins in present times.
Book Two revisits the Crusades. Book Three transports the reader to
ancient Egypt. Don't miss this unique Vampire story Now in its
