SINNER’S SONG tells the story of  Memrie Austin. Memrie works for Andrew’s House, an agency that helps the homeless. But when the homeless start dying, no one can find a way to stop the killings. The murderer, who calls himself The Deliverer is following in the footsteps of his infamous mother. The question is, will the murderer be caught before he "delivers" Memrie? SINNER’S SONG will be released by St Kitts Press in August of 2001.GRAVEN IMAGES follows the life of Tally McAllister. Tally’s mother was murdered when she was only four years old. The young girl saw the face of the murderer but locked the image away in the dark recesses of her frightened psyche. A talented child psychologist helped her to face the image of the monster. Tally was able to draw his picture, sending him to prison where he died not long after arriving. But now, years later, as she works as a police sketch artist for the Wichita police department - the image on her sketchpad is changing. Could the wrong man have paid the price for her mother’s death? And is the killer closer than she could possibly imagine? GRAVEN IMAGES will be released by St Kitts Press in late 2001 or early 2002. MALEVOLENCE, her current work in progress, is the frightening tale of Icy Curtis, who is emotionally shattered after her husband’s murder in Chicago. She moves to Kansas with her ten-year-old son, Danny, hoping to start a new life and find out who she really is now that she has to live without the love and support of the husband she adored. She unwittingly stumbles upon a strange and grisly murder, bringing back all the horror of her own husband’s tragic death. Icy is pulled into the investigation by a police detective, impressed by her natural powers of observation. The question is, who or more exactly "what" is behind the awful murder. A centuries old monster who leaves his strange signature as a monument to his ghastly deeds will test everything Icy believes.
