About this ebook

Can a baseball have a destiny?

1975, Game 6, bottom of the twelfth – the ball should have gone foul but it didn’t. It stayed fair.

Thirty years later, in the town of Junction, Texas, Luke Casteel crawls into a drainage pipe to retrieve a baseball stolen from Griffin Tanner’s private collection. He doesn’t come back. That day three lives change forever. One boy is dead, one struggles for his life and Jared Riley is thrust into a world where he must face an ancient evil.

Written with a blend of quirk and suspense that keeps the pages turning, a historic baseball moment is woven into a supernatural thriller with an unexpected ending.

In addition to her degree in design she holds a Master’s degree in Professional Writing. Her stories 612 West Maitland and Back East received first place recognition in Kennesaw State University’s graduate level writing competition and 612 West Maitland went on to win a statewide competition and was selected for publication in the anthology O’Georgia!
