Circle of the Witch (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

After a controversial shooting ends Raymond Saddler's LAPD career, he accepts a sheriff's position in the small town of Quinsett, believing that the isolated and sedate town will be the ideal place to rebuild his shattered life. Instead, he discovers a long-harbored secret, a dormant evil and an adversary, who may well be history's greatest villain...or most tortured and aggrieved victim. As Quinsett is plunged into a complex and savage nightmare of violence and death, Saddler quickly gleans that the façade of small town Americana is a shallow illusion. Though fifty years dead, the specter of Jeniah Lightcrusher continues to haunt the isolated town. The victim of a vigilante murder, the purported witch vowed vengeance against the offspring of those who took her life. As Saddler grappled with the mounting carnage, he begins to discern a pattern that suggests this oath of vengeance is not simply the stuff of urban myth, but a festering blood debt woven into the tapestry of the town. Haunted by the demons of his own inadequacy and confronted by an evil that defies logic, Raymond Saddler is unaware that the one he loves and trusts the most has ushered him into the Circle of the Witch.

At the beginning of this year, I made the difficult decision that I would offer my entire catalogue of novels (which currently stands at eleven, with a twelfth and thirteenth to follow in the not too distant future) free of charge. There are a number of reasons that inspired this decision, but in the name of brevity, I'll confine my explanation to the two most pertinent. After several months of honest introspection, I finally was forced to admit that I possess neither the aptitude, nor the desire for self-promotion (as one would quickly glean if they were to bother to check my paltry social media footprint)...an aptitude that is essential for an indie author's chance at acceptance and recognition. Even more damning is the fact that I choose to write in a neoclassical style, the appeal of which is confined to an extremely miniscule segment of today's reading devotees. After more than thirty years, it is time to accept reality and stop flogging this particular dead horse. I toyed with the notion of completely removing my works from the various outlet platforms, but decided to offer them for free instead. Recalling the motivation that had inspired me to start writing in the first place, I realized that a less money oriented individual would be a challenge to find and I was driven by a desire to share my creative efforts...these tales of epic fantasy and dark horror with those who might appreciate reading them as much as I enjoyed scribing them. Thus, the e-book versions of my novels will henceforth be free on Smashwords and all of their distribution channels...Barnes & Noble, Apple, etc. Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow for authors to offer their creative works gratis and they will remain available through that platform for a nominal price (I will remind readers that Amazon does price match). The paper version of my novels are available through Amazon, but for a price that most might find prohibitive for a comparatively unknown indie author. My aspiration now is simply this; I hope that readers who happen across my works will take the time to delve into the poignant, heartfelt tales of these characters for whom I've developed such an affection while setting their stories to paper. Both the Journey fantasy series and the Converging supernatural series (a classification I roundly detest) are nearing the ends of their long arcs. It is my hope that the day will come, after the last word of each has been set to paper, when, as an even older...
