Captive in Terror Orchard
Book 1. Throwaway delinquent Billy Conner seems useless to the world, but he’s all that stands between it and a vicious, supernatural conspiracy. To the authorities, he's a rebellious and defiant trouble maker. To the foster parents from Hell, he’s a pawn in a fiendish plot. Billy is much more than anyone realizes, though. Assisted by unlikely allies, one of them 'dug up' from the orchard, Billy struggles for his freedom and for the lives of countless other potential victims.

The Bulb People
Book 2. Why are people disappearing from the ugly little town of Bridgestock? Newcomer Ryan Keppen tackles this mystery along with the problem of his "happy blended family" which he hopes will also vanish. Maybe one problem can solve the other - in lethal fashion. Only nasty people have disappeared so far, but that could change. It’s up to Ryan to straighten things out. He is helped by a science teacher and an out-of-town high school boy, both of whom have figured in Bridgestock’s mysterious past.
