About this ebook
It is 1989.
The time of Happy Days, Stephen King, small towns, and long lazy summers, when Will-Fred and his family blew into Scottsburg, Indiana.
Their first mistake.
What Will-Fred lacks in size or status, he makes up for with outlandish dreams and loopy expectations, so when they move gypsy-like, to yet another 'Perfect Town', hope renews he will make fast buddies among the school's uber-cool. Eager to explore after another humiliating family put-down, Will-Fred ignores Elmo, the wimpy asthmatic kid next door, as not being cool enough, tearing off alone on his bike to investigate he stumbles onto a decaying lake and disturbing, derelict factory, unaware of horrific happenings involving missing people over past decades—the last two, teens seeking a private hot-spot, out where sidewalks give way ... and no one knows where you are.
His new sole buddy, Elmo has asthma. Peers scorn them. When they stumble on the Monster, they have fat chance of convincing either parents or town elders of the blood-freezing peril. Worse, the two discover the most chilling menace, is much closer and less predictable than their scariest nightmares and they must take out the Monster, on their own ... anyway they can ...

I pen novels and scripts in Pacific Palisades, California. My first feature script, SARY'S GOLD captured ScriptPimp's Grand Prize and is SHORTLISTED as in The Chanticleer Book Review Awards in the Western Division. SARY'S GOLD is based on true events concerning a fictional widow in a brutal Deadwood-esque outpost: Big Bear, and now published as a novel by The Wild Rose Press. SARY'S DIAMONDS is Book 2 in the LOVE, LUST AND PERIL: Sary's Adventure Series, set in 1910 Africa. Book 3: SARY and the MAHARAJAH'S EMERALDS, with a Northern India local. Danforth The Dragon is a children's book written and illustrated by me. My other novels are titled: BEAST IN THE MOON, an erotic dystopian Sci-Fi. THE MONSTER FACTORY, an adult, coming-of-age horror. As all folks with creative monkeys on their backs... after wading the muck of pottery, hacking away as a sculptor, sucking up paint fumes, dabbling in stunt work, and years of hurry-up-and wait background performing, the Art of Writing is an exhilarating, no muss medium, beyond a blood-spattered laptop with few tools outside of a feverish brain, and a very thick thesaurus.
