Product Description
Don-t drink and drive, especially when traveling the space-time continuum highway. Avalon Labrador is convicted and sentenced to die for her husband's murder. In a twist of fate, before the sentence can be carried out, an odd priest informs her that she is being given a second chance to right the wrongs of the past. Avalon must die, but before she does, she must also give birth to a part of herself. Avy Labrador doesn't know what to make of the odd twists life has thrown her way since she turned eighteen. All she knows is that something isn't right and it has to do with the death of her mother and her husband many years ago. As if an odd priest, powers she never knew she had, and a brand new magician boyfriend aren't enough to turn her life upside down, she finds her own life in danger as she tries to solve a crime that happened more than three decades ago and prevent a new one from occurring. Will Avy accept her fate and learn to become a Gate-Walker in order to clear her mother's name and find the real killer?

I've been writing off and on for 26 years, primarily science fiction, fantasy, horror, and paranormal romance.  I'm negotiating with two agents at the present, for representation.  My book Dinothon was nearly optioned for film in 1990, being approved of by the director John Badham, and the producers, the Cohen Brothers.  Alas, Michael C. beat me out with Jurassic Park--but what a way to go out!  I'm open to write any special concepts or ideas that you have store-housed that you never got around to.  Touch base with me and we'll talk about it.  I can write a 400-page novel in 2.5 months, first draft.
