The Island - Part 2
Summary
The fever exploded across the US and the world. Hour by hour, the news grew worse. The virus was spreading at a bewildering pace, killing so fast that estimates had to be constantly revised. Even worse, it appeared to be mutating to an even deadlier form. Stranded on Portsmouth Island after the President instituted martial law, William Hill found himself fighting to survive even though he had come to the island to die. The old village offered shelter against the storms and the coming winter. The sea offered food. Life should have been simple. It wasn't. He hadn't counted on the old woman, or the odd little boy she brought with her. He hadn't expected to provide for nearly a dozen people. He wasn't prepared for the evil that came to the island. William Hill had never been afraid of the dark. He never had reason to. He did now. Not only had the evil come. It knew his name.

Bayshore Noir - A Frank Geddy Detective Short

Bayshore Noir is the newest release from John David's critically acclaimed Noir De Jure imprint. "It's . . . John David's second short detective-story I have read and I think it's even better than the first one."

Since pizza and booze aren't free, Frank does what it takes to survive, as unpleasant as it may be. Every surveillance case is different, but they all have one thing in common--somebody is always trying to catch someone else doing what they shouldn't. They say that if you go out looking for trouble, you will find it. Some marriages are made in heaven. Others are bound for nothing more than . . . "Splitsville." No marriage is perfect. But on Bayshore, they're not even close.

Hounded by an evil he didn't understand, William Hill struggled to survive. The evil had other plans. It wanted his blood. This time, it had a face. This time, it offered a deal.

The Island: Fallen Earth, Book 1
Summary
The fever struck hard and fast, rising out of the slums and claiming victim after victim. At first, reports trickled across the wire in small segments relegated to the final seconds of the broadcast news. Lost among stories of failing economies and political bickering, few noticed what proved to be the birth pangs of a monster. Within months, the disease dominated the news as thousands died and infection rates soared. William Hill knew his chances of avoiding the virus sat squarely between slim and none. With experts predicting a global pandemic, his choices boiled down to not if, but where he would die. While the rest of the world built barricades and set up distribution points for food, he chose a simpler end. The island had been one of the last and best times with his father. He couldn't think of a better place to spend his final days. He wanted sun and sand, fresh fish on the grill, and cool nights by the campfire. He wanted feel-good days filled with oldies on the radio, days when he could hoist the sails and run before the wind. He didn't set out to make enemies, but he did. He didn't plan on becoming humanity's last hope for survival, or watching over an old woman and an eerie little boy, either. To William Hill, the island seemed as good a place as any to die. He just didn't realize how good.

The Island: Part 4
Summary
Stranded on Portsmouth Island, William Hill struggled to survive even as The Fever raced across the world, leaving a scattered wasteland of the dead and dying in its wake. The news brought stories of storms and riots, of people starving while the government promised food. Two weeks before, life had made sense. The outlook hadn't been bright, but he understood it. Faced with dwindling supplies and a disease so virulent some wondered if humanity might be facing its own extinction, William figured he had enough to worry about. Then he found the message, scrawled in blood and written personally for him. The chilling words left him wondering whether or not he'd live long to see the next sunrise. Not even a fool could mistake the intent, not when the evil knew his name and watched from shadows. "COME GET YOU WEE LEE UM"

The Dark
Summary
Christy Barnett is sleeping when her aging German shepherd Molly growls into the darkness outside her bedroom. She wakes to a dim glow provided by her Kindle's screen, thankful that she had fallen asleep while reading again. The power has gone out, the world outside her window is eerily dark and silent. And Molly is weary of something that waits in the hallway, hiding in the shadows. A dark cloud has fallen over the city of Aberdeen, MD. The population disappears in an instant. For the handful of survivors, those lucky enough to have a light source not connected to the power grid, it's more than terrifying. They're left alone, walking through a nightmare, and that is a fate that could be worse than death itself. The darkness is alive and it is the reason we fear the night.
