From the prosperous fishing port in Cadiz, on the island of Panay, the Philippines, fisherman Joaquin Ramos comes home to discover his pregnant wife, a victim of the evil aswang. Without a thought, grief-stricken, he kills the creature crouched over his dead wife. Legend has it, when one kills an aswang, descendants of theirs will become one, so the curse lives on. The story moves on to a more recent setting in Central Indiana, quaint community of Henderson, and the large metropolitan area of Indianapolis. Two detectives from The Henderson Police Department, Glenda McMahan and Luther Charles embark on an investigation that leads them to a mysterious suspect, Amado Rathbone. Amado, a beautiful, wealthy, and successful chemist working for the billion-dollar pharmaceutical company, Hale Broderick, leads a double life. From the powerful influence of his father's wealth and his recent development of a miracle drug, Divina, Amado will never see the inside of a jail cell. Taking matters into their own hands, McMahan and Charles face Rathbone in full horrific transformation. After Rathbone's demise, another aswang is discovered, this one almost takes the life of Detective Glenda McMahan.

Autorenporträt
I started becoming a writer later in life. When my sons were in the process of going out on their own, I took up writing in journals. I wrote topics on news issues I was interested in. I also began forming short stories. One such short story I began researching for found me discovering the strange and mysterious Legend Of Aswang. Using tidbits of what I read, I wrote the short story. I showed it to my youngest son then in college. He said there was definitely something unique about the story, but I needed to think bigger.In the next few years going back to this legend, I wrote two novellas. I had them published but found my writing wasn't refined enough. The readership was not good. I continued writing short essays, short stories, and larger works of fiction. Two years ago, my short essays and short stories were being published. Terror House Magazine, 34 Parallel Magazine published my short essays and short stories. One year ago I rewrote the book on Aswang, ""The Wind Whistles Wicked"". Now with seventeen years of writing in full concentration, this revision possessed a strength I felt would get the attention of an agent or publisher. With the third draft of this ancient myth, I developed, ""The Islands Tell Of It"".
