Race the Night, James A.
Rock and Company, September 2007
Mike Hasker is a man with
problems. A gambling addiction has led to the loss of his job, his home, and his
wife. The only joy he has left in the world are his two young daughters, and he
will do anything to protect them. But now, on a deserted back road far from
civilization, he will come face-to-face with ultimate evil, a hunted serial
killer that may be more—or less—than human. This man wants only one thing,
Mike’s children, and he will kill anyone who gets in his way. As the police
close in on the wrong man and a blizzard descends upon him, Mike will be faced
with the most important decision of his life: recover his children before
nightfall … or lose them forever.
Second Unit, Dark Filament Books, May 2008
Part mainstream horror/suspense, part Hollywood parody, Second
Unit follows aspiring director Davis Lowe, a man looking for his BIG BREAK
in Los Angeles…but has so far been able to find only second unit work, taking
the jobs that the real directors can’t—or won’t—do.
Together with his cameraman Jared Mane and film editor Terrence
“Otter” Ottman, he runs a tiny independent film studio off (far off) the
Sunset Strip, where the trio scrounges for the crumbs that the city’s power
players throw their way and Davis puts off marrying his girlfriend Susan.
Enter Torsten Gross: acclaimed German director whose
violent films seem a little too real for Davis and his crew. After signing on to work under the eccentric filmmaker and his brutal
star Lars Krieg on a picture called Arterial
Slice, the boys are faced with a rash of actress suicides and a police
investigation in the middle of a movie shoot unlike anything Hollywood has ever
seen. Now Davis must race to save
those he cares about from the clutches of a man who will stop at nothing to
finish production, as he unravels a mystery that will have him doubting the art
of filmmaking…and reality itself.

The Jackal Man, Dark Filament Books, March 2009
A creature older than legend stalks the small Texas town of Asheville. A beast rarely seen but greatly feared, the Jackal Man has haunted the minds of this sleepy hamlet for ages from the uninhabited woods to the south.
Now, a land developer has purchased the area with the intent to build houses, and Frank Stanford has moved into the strange town to oversee the project. He and his punk son Willie will be forced to deal with the truth behind the myth, along with an obsessed cop...a quirky zookeeper...and a sadistic hunter that may be more dangerous than the beast.
