FPW Works

Jack has been on hiatus since the events in Harbingers. With his lover Gia's encouragement he dips a toe back into the fix-it pool.

Christy Pickering’s eighteen-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn’t returning her calls. Will Jack find out why?

Jack learns there’s a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, a victim of a bizarre water-torture murder. As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem’s past he learns that the man is not who he says he is. Who—and what—he is will have a devastating effect on Jack’s life and future, adding another piece to the puzzle of who he really is and why he’s been drafted into this cosmic shadow war.

A strikingly beautiful edition of my "lost" novel, long out of print. After finishing THE TOUCH in 1985, the next story in line returned to WW2, but this time to the Pacific Theater. I'd been reading a few books that recounted how nicely the Pearl Harbor attack played into Roosevelt's desire to go to war against the Axis, hinting that Pearl had been set up. The result was a revisionist historical family saga horror war novel (try saying that fast 3 times) that took me almost two years to write and research. A mix of cultural fanaticism and wrenchingly dark supernatural horror.

I'm very proud of BLACK WIND. Looking at it in terms of character development and sweeping plot, it's probably my most accomplished work. I'm delighted it will be back in print. It's got a high price tag, but it's high-quality bookcraft.

Special Edition

A two-thousand-year-old scroll is found in the Negev Desert. It describes what might be the final resting place of Mary, the mother of Jesus. To the disappointment of all, the ink is dated as less than a dozen years old. A fake. But one woman believes and goes searching. What she finds will change the world – forever.

VIRGIN is a religious thriller of international scope, traipsing through the Judean Wilderness, the shore of the Dead Sea, the River Lee in Ireland, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Big Sur, and the Central Pacific. It's peopled with various believers and skeptics: a priest and nun who are lovers; a cardinal who has spent his life debunking miracles and is now desperately in need of one; a US Senator with a son dying of AIDS; his vicious chief of security; and Kesev, the mysterious Israeli Shin Bet officer who was derelict in his unofficial life task of guarding the remains of "The Mother" and is determined to retrieve her at any cost.

A trade paperback edition at $16.95. The limited edition hardcover is almost sold out, but the good folks at Borderlands Press have decided to make the novel available to the non-collector at a fraction of the hardcover price. It’s now in large-format paperback.

(The Audio Version)

A fun Yellow Peril story (with the most lurid title I could think of) originally in RETRO PULP TALES edited by Joe Lansdale.

I inserted a number of cameo appearances by famous characters; if you can’t identify them you are banned for life from reading anything else I write.

Order Sex Slaves

The gory video version of my short story, starring Meat Loaf and John Saxon, directed by Dario Argento, is now available on DVD. Amazon has it at a discount. Be warned: Lots of blood, boobs, and booty.

Order PELTS

Mark of Lavendier Books hit me up at NECon to do a Jack short-short for a broadside. Since I'd never been involved with anything like this before, I knocked out a piece for him.

It's a single large sheet - illustrated with a woodcut - designed to be framed. A very small edition (200) of a very small story (700 words). Might not be any left by the time you read this.
For completist nuts only.
