Isolated from her friends, eighteen-year-old Sadie is broody and restless—an easy target. She begins to witness unexplainable events, like something unseen is pulling the strings. First come the nightmares and disturbing visions, doors closing and items moving on their own, and then disembodied voices. When Sadie’s behavior degrades to sleepwalking, a violent attack on her boyfriend and acts of sexual depravity, the family begins to wonder if the activity is paranormal or if she is showing symptoms of mental illness. Out of desperation, they turn to a parade of clergy, psychics, therapists, and a paranormal investigation team for help. What they don’t know: the past has come home—and found a new host.

Jewel (2009)

Watching his own children play at the park, Jason Hylden remembers back to a dark time in his life when events took place so disturbing, he has never brought them up to anybody. He decides then and there to tell a story—Jewel’s story.

Within the confines of a small impoverished town’s oak groves and rural setting, a sinister urban climate spreads like a disease. Once innocuous, the gang that Jason runs with now escalates into violence, lustful obsession, and drugs—its leader, Harvey, slipping off the edge into madness. Jason, oblivious to it all, meets Jewel Wylander. Jewel, sullen and withdrawn, doesn’t have many friends, but worst of all, she is showing up with bruises and cuts on her arms. Jewel has a secret, a dark secret. When Jason discovers that his own mother is Jewel’s therapist, he begins to suspect that confidentiality and self-disclosure, supposed client privileges, may actually be masking the truth. Despite her afflictions and the gang’s vehement opposition to their budding relationship, Jason falls in love, soon finding himself the last person standing between Jewel and someone, or something, hell-bent on her destruction. 

Spirit Asylum or alternate title Vessel of the Diablo Si

During the dead cold of the winter of 1958, in a rural Minnesota town, the last patient of a rapidly deteriorating tuberculosis asylum knows it’s the end, the end of a life cut short.  Clara Berg, in her last flickering moments, quickly manages to scrawl a faint picture of a vision she witnesses with her final breath.  Is the message the ravings of a dying woman or her last coherent thought in this world?  Fifty-two years later, the world is about to find out.

The year is 2010 and the Clayborn’s have just finished remodeling a portion of the old asylum into their dream home, when they are catapulted into a nightmare.  After awakening in the middle of the night with a Vodoun symbol scratched into her belly, Mrs. Clayborn decides to go against her husband’s wishes and calls in a priest to perform an exorcism.  When the priest is found murdered, the Vatican sends in their own team to the desecrated home.  Only it’s not the home that has caused the desecration—it’s what hides in the unfinished bowels.  The very survival of everyone involved will depend on the wits and expertise of the Vatican’s Eli Ross and a highly deductive sleuth from Boston, Racine Brennon.  Together, with a highly flammable supporting cast, Eli and Racine battle against an unfathomable evil.  While avoiding their own demise, they must collect clues inside the old asylum and solve a horrific mystery before there is no one left to save.

Broken Mirror

Eli Ross, an unemployed counselor, expected the internet dating scene to be a bit of an adventure, but he gets more than he bargained for when he meets the spiritually sensitive Dana Sullivan.

Dana sees things in her mirror—scary things. And Eli, still heartbroken from a previous relationship, isn’t sure if he should take her seriously or have her committed. Before he can decide, he and Dana are hurled into the vortex of a spiritual storm. A rogue USC scientist, under the guise of paranormal research, has harnessed a power, which even he doesn’t completely understand—a power with its infancy in an old conspiracy theory come real. In order to set his diabolical plan into motion and open the floodgates between hell and earth, he needs Dana and her special abilities. After Dana is kidnapped, Eli, and a friend of his, an old Vatican exorcist, must stop the madman before the world is flooded with a host of demons and Dana is lost to the spiritual realm forever. The only problem: Eli must overcome his personal demons before he can take a stand.
