    CATALYST contains a total of six short stories and flash fiction pieces. "Obsessed" will introduce you to a self-involved artist who has to come face-to-face with her homicidal stalker. "Soul Keeper" will take you on a the trail of blood lust as a teenage demon-killer races against time to expel the evil that ruined his life. "Aaron" takes young love to crazy limits as a young woman professes her love to man carrying a gun. "The hotel Compromise" brings a squabbling married couple into a hotel where they try to find a solution to their bickering. "A Long Wait" introduces you to a rape and homicide victim forced to live her afterlife in limbo, stuck on the very street she died, cursing everyone who comes past her.

Demons, love, and suspense; this collection has a little bit of everything you've been looking for.
