Something ain’t right in this town as he’s about to find out - and that discovery could cause serious repercussions to all who dwell in Lobo Cliff, and eventually – to the world.

1
Lobo Cliff, Florida - a small town like most others all over the United States, except for the secret in the forest surrounding it. The Lobo Cliff woods are home to a predator, a killer that won't quit unless he can be stopped either by authorities, hunters… or another of its kind. It stalks silently and has the entire town gripped in fear, except for four school friends who not only know its secret, but they also share something in common that only a select few of the townsfolk know; they share the bloodline... the blood of a werewolf runs through their veins. When the peaceful town is put in a panic with the savage-like killings in the woods, the kids take action, knowing full well that tonight could be their last night… in the woods of Lobo Cliff. But it has to be stopped tonight, tonight in the dead of night.

Rod Martinez
Rod was born and raised in Tampa, Florida and was attracted to words at an early age. He wrote his first book "The Boy Who Liked To Read" (about himself) with construction paper and pencil in the grade school on his own – wasn't a class assignment. His teacher then decided to keep the masterpiece and show other students in class what they could do if they "applied" themselves. Later in life, Rod discovered comic books and was determined to work for Stan Lee once he was old enough. As a student in school he was taken to reading, writing and drawing and by high-school had completed several comic books of his own creation. It was his English teacher in high school that pulled him aside and told him "You should delve into short story writing, give the comic books a rest." He listened. Rod got into writing prose and fiction, but only as a part-time hobby, wasn't till his later adult years that he started to take it seriously, having written a middle-grade fiction adventure titled "The Juniors" (it was a challenge from his son) that was picked up by a publisher. He quickly decided that he wanted to do this for the rest of his life.
