Later, at his 25th high school reunion, he reconnects with his high school sweetheart, Savannah Cross...that night, they begin a tumultuous drive during which they become involved in a number of bizarre incidents before they return to the river where Daren attempted to save the drowning woman. Here, he encounters...

Blood and Blackmail: Jesse Barnett is confident his girlfriend Justine didn't murder Trent, her ex-husband, because he never heard any gunshots on the night the two of them broke into Trent's house to search for obscene photos that he had taken of Justine's daughter. However, Jesse's confidence in Justine begins to waver when he is told that the murder weapon had a silencer attached to it. Justine is arrested, and after she rejects a plea deal, the prosecutor charges her with first degree murder. The trial is an odd one that leaves everyone wondering who really committed the murder.

The Dark Side of the Moon: Carolyn Black, a twenty-five year-old high school teacher trapped in an unhappy marriage, is attracted to Kevin Snyder, a sixteen-year-old student in one of her classes. Kevin is shy and reclusive and doesn't seem to realize that Carolyn is attracted to him, but on a cold March day, everything changes when they make love in the back seat of Carolyn's car.

Two weeks later, Carolyn discovers that Kevin is involved in drugs. But when she tells him that she is ending their relationship, he shocks Carolyn by threatening to commit suicide. Later that night, Carolyn changes her mind about Kevin and desperately searches for him before he has a chance to harm himself. When she finally finds him in his car behind an abandoned house, he is holding a gun to his head. And then...

The Book of Lost Souls is a dark romantic comedy that portrays an interesting artistic and psychological battle between alcohol, barbiturates, and cocainewith a little bit of prostitution thrown in to spice things up. Will, Jenna, who has recently become discreetly enamored of Rainbowsbarbituratesfinally marry the man of her dreams? Or will Damon, who is addicted to cocaine and prostitutes, manage to hide his unsavory habits from Jenna as he makes a desperate attempt to marry a woman who is the daughter of a millionaire? Or will Jenna's father, the drunken old buzzard, be able to successfully intervene before his daughter is ensnared by all the vile habits of Damon? In the end, this novel descends into a charming farce where bad intentions are transformed into something that could almost pass for nobility.

Murder mysteries come in many formsas do dreams. In the Book of Dreams, Detective Shane Manning has a troubling history when it comes to his dreams because many of them are nightmares that often seem to find their way into reality. This was especially true when he was younger--the dream he had back then was something that would haunt him for years. And now, fifteen years later, he's investigating the murder of a college student, but he still can't seem to get away from his dreams.

Welcome to The Book of Dreams. But beware: The dreaming world is not for the faint of heart nor does it conform to standard solutions, trite explanations, or the so-called logic of this world.
