Police veteran George Newton loves his work and the risks associated with it. His partner, Gene Wilson, dreams of becoming a criminal lawyer. Each officer believes they have seen it all, but something so bizarre is about to occur that neither of these men will ever be able to trust their gut instincts again As Newton and Wilson cruise the streets of San Pedro, California, looking for gang activity, they see a middle-aged gentleman sitting in a vehicle on the side of the road. After they question the obviously intoxicated man, the officers allow him to walk to his house nearby to retrieve a pencil and paper. When he does not return, Newton and Wilson ring the doorbell and soon learn that Bill Balsam died at the hands of a drunk driver one year ago on that same street on the same night. Left with nothing but Balsam's driver's license and an abandoned truck, the two officers are suddenly thrust into a world where the paranormal collides with reality and no one believes their story. In this captivating thriller, only time will tell what will happen when two men in blue encounter events that cannot be explained-let alone accepted.

In 1906, at the Klondike Mine schoolhouse in Hatcher Pass, Alaska, teacher Raymond Williams gave his nine students a very special writing assignment that upon completion was to be sent to nine different people who would judged the work, and jointly decided on one grand prize winner. However, before this could happen, a mining explosion caused a landslide that crushed the classroom, and killed all nine students, yet sparing the life of their teacher. Although dreadful, the accident was all but forgotten until 1987, when a group of deer hunters on Kodiak Island discovers the wreckage of an old Army DC-3 airplane that had disappeared forty-five years earlier. Inside, investigators find several items such as the nine student desks, one unique brass U.S. Postal Service outdoor mailbox, along with other miscellaneous mining pieces that were all associated with that mining disaster. Upon removal of the aircraft fuselage to the Coast Guard Air Base on Kodiak Island, while the plane's cargo is being inspected, strange events begin to happen that lead people to eventually realize that something paranormal was at work and maybe some of the students that had used those school desks although long dead, were still present and involved in something very evil. In "The Undelivered," a teacher's satanic beliefs dramatically change the lives of a handful of people that come in contact with the aircraft's contents. And, no amount of love, religious beliefs or educational training will change the course of what is to be.

Jenny Watson is a divorced mother of two. Her daughter, Grace, is seventeen; her son, Eugene, fifteen, and they live together in a rat-infested, dilapidated apartment in the middle of gangland. Jenny wishes things were different. She wishes she could move her children to a safe neighborhood with a good school district, where their lives could be filled with promise. Who knew the lottery would be the answer to her prayers? After Jenny surprisingly strikes it rich, she's able to move her family to Terminal Island, California, where she purchases a dream home on the top of a hill. The price is too good to pass up, so the family moves immediately into a veritable mansion in paradise. It doesn't take long, however, for Jenny to realize her paradise may be hell. She and Grace are soon attacked by unseen forces that are singularly attracted to women. As the violent ghostly attacks escalate, Jenny has no choice but to call in a paranormal specialist. They discover it's just as they feared: a demonic spirit lives within the walls of their home, and Terminal Island holds a terrible secret. Who lived in the house prior to the Watsons, and what happened to them? The truth may be more than Jenny can bear as she watches her dreams turn into unimaginable nightmares.

In "The Lorelei," an aging and decrepit riverboat refuses to release its bizarre hold on an entire community. Author Ron Schmidt spins a suspenseful and chilling tale of the supernatural. The "Lorelei," a once-elegant river hotel and gambling boat, has fallen on hard times and is turned into a freight hauler. In August of 1933, the "Lorelei" is on her final run. But before heading to the salvage yard, a mysterious fire is detected deep in her cargo hold. The crew tries to extinguish the blaze, but the area is inaccessible. Rather than allow the "Lorelei" to sink and become a navigational hazard, the captain chooses a remote section of shoreline to run the "Lorelei" aground, permanently beaching her for years to come. This once-pristine example of European craftsmanship slowly decays, sinking deeper and deeper into the sand and mud as a result of the river's swift currents, constant sun, and harsh weather. Over time, the community surrounding the boat becomes anxious for her removal to make way for residential and industrial development. Soon after hiring a firm to remove the ship, the town's citizens discover that the "Lorelei" has disturbing qualities. Those hired to destroy her quickly realize that their very lives are in jeopardy. For one such worker, the discovery of a past life enjoyed decades before aboard the ship holds the key to the mystery behind the "Lorelei." An absorbing novel, "The Lorelei" demonstrates a world in which things are not as they seem and powers of destruction are wielded by terrible and unseen forces.
