What Readers Are
Saying
“ Haunted
was an amazing, suspenseful ride and kept me on the edge of my
seat! Christian's writing places me right inside the book feeling
all the changes and emotions of the characters and what transpires
with them. With an amazing ending I will wait for more of his books
and recommend them highly! Write MORE Christian!!” - Jennifer Schmelz’s
review of Haunted
“ This
book is amazing. Once I started reading it I could not put it down.
I read it from cover to cover in one sitting! It's a must read!”
– Tracy Smith’s review of
Haunted
“ Here's
what I love about this author. This collection of short stories and
poems are fast paced and well written, with plenty of action as
well as thought provoking passages. Upon completion, several of the
stories left me playing out the situation in my head, causing me to
ask myself if I was that character would I do anything different? I
am left asking myself does Dark Horizons stand up to my highest
critiques of a book? Is this interesting? Am I left wanting more?
Have I felt myself become invested? To all of these I give a
resounding, yes.” – Daniel Acevedo’s
review of Dark Horizons
To my wife Carly for never
giving up on me. Also for your good home cookin’. I do love
it!

1996
The two detectives exited their car
and prepared to make their way through the throng of reporters
congregated outside the prison. Detective Corder counted fifteen
cameras and at least double the amount of reporters from the
various news stations. He knew when he got the call to come in that
morning that it was going to be a media circus. Didn’t mean he had
to like it. Information had leaked that after all these years she
finally wanted to talk. The reason was at the moment shrouded in
mystery.
Silence had been her bed mate from the
time of her arrest until today. Corder was beyond curious as to why
she had chosen now to come forward. Maybe isolation had eaten away
at her psyche and she couldn’t bear it anymore. No possibilities
were being ruled out until they could talk with her face to
face.
“ I’ll part the seas,”
Davis said as he took point and cut a path through the news
crews.
Questions bombarded them from all
sides, and microphones were thrust into their faces asking for
statements, new information, etc. Stone faced, the two pushed their
way forward into the building without too much heckling from the
vultures.
After checking in, they were escorted
down to one of the visitation rooms by the warden. He had stopped
them prior to entering with a gesture of his hand.
“ She wouldn’t give us any
information other than that she wanted to shed some new light on
the case. She’s a nut job if you ask me. Whole family was,” he
said, handing over
