Produktbeschreibung

Meghan and her teenage son, Kyle, get a discounted rate at an upscale resort due to a last minute cancellation. Meghan wants to spend some time with her son before he takes off to college where she worries she will lose touch with the one person in her life which gives it meaning. The resort sits along the shores of beautiful Lake Oleander. The seemingly idyllic lake has two things going for it, the upscale resort and the town of Riapoke, which they are warned to stay as far away from as possible. A beautiful day leads to the accidental meeting of Mike Chase, and his daughter, Kelley. While the two kids hit it off as friends, Meghan and Mike feel an attraction and decide to spend a little more time together to see if their feelings for one another are genuine. Meghan worries she could never have for anyone like that ever again. The morning of the lunch date, Meghan and Kyle spend a little time boating on the beautiful lake before Meghan was set to meet Mike for lunch. Their outing ends in both swimming for their lives through a rainstorm that sinks the resort's boat. They make it back to what they suppose is the resort's boat docks, only to find out it is the docks of the town of Riapoke. Both mother and son are apprehended by the Riapoke's only law enforcement officer and are held to meet Donny, the town's mayor, judge, and unofficial Chief of Police. Donny secretly wears one other official title, high priest of a secretive cult responsible for the care and feeding of a demon residing beneath the bedrock of the town. Mike grows suspicious about his missing love interest and her son and tracks them down to the secretive municipality. Sneaking into town, he moves to save everyone before Meghan and Kyle become the final sacrifices, completing a prophecy spelling doom or salvation for the town or Riapoke.

Autorenporträt

My name is Bryan Nowak, the author of the books No Name, The Dramatic Dead, and Riapoke.

I grew up in Steger, Illinois, a South Suburb of Chicago and spent lots of summers in Indiana. Many of my relatives still live in the Midwest and it's a frequent destination for summer vacations.

I was born in the summer of 1973. I had the good fortune of attending Eastview Elementary School. There I learned the value of a good library through our local librarian. Exhausting the library of ghost stories, and tales of monsters, I re-read some of my favorites. One in particular I remember was the tale of the restless spirits of dead pirates. It was supposedly a true story. Years later, after the advent of the internet, I would find out that the story was well known, and the location of the story is presently a bed and breakfast in South Carolina. Reading those stories are what gave me a firm foundation of suspense and the paranormal.

Having moved to Minnesota as a teenager, I soon joined the US Army Reserves and the National Guard. I am a proud veteran of seventeen years. I went to college in Minnesota and met my wife there. Our first son was born in Minnesota. It's safe to say that I will always have a soft spot in my life for the state that I once called home.

It was during my time in the U.S. Army that I was ordered to the state of Virginia, to fill in with an active duty unit who needed some extra help. Returning to that same unit over the next three summers, I learned to really love the state of Virginia. Many years later, my wife and I moved our family here and we still reside in Northern Virginia today.

I generally prefer horror to other genera, but I am not necessarily a purist. I like a good solid mystery to go along with it to keep you turning the pages or flicking the screen of your e-reader. I prefer a story line that doesn't ooze blood, but I want it saturated in tension and dread. I'm a firm believer that if I can entertain you while scaring you a little, I have done my job.

-Your Humble Servant,

Bryan the Writer
