Dark Justice


“Few debut novels pack the punch of a seasoned professional, but Dark Justice does just that. Visceral, complex, and riveting, here is a story that spans time and pushes the genre’s boundaries. Kept me reading until the early morning hours.”

–James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Oracle



Description:

During America’s darkest days, a slave named Tobias suffers a fate worse than death at the hands of an enraged master. After a harrowing escape, Tobias searches nearby slave camps in search of a high priest of his native African religion. Seeking vengeance, they evoke the spirits of their elders and unleash a malevolent force upon his master. 

Two hundred years later, the horror has reawakened, targeting an innocent man, paramedic Galen Morris. Suddenly, a seemingly unstoppable executioner stalks his every move. Forced to run, Galen must unravel clues while staying one step ahead of his otherworldly enemy. 

Dark Justice tells the stories of two men, both running for their lives. While one man’s run brings an unspeakable terror into the world, the other man’s run is a dangerous quest to stop it.

Dark Justice - the Inside Story

Dark Justice, (DJ for short) was my very first novel. Prior to DJ, I had only written a few short stories, and one attempt at an abandoned sci-fi novel.

When I began writing DJ, I had no idea how it would turn out, but I knew I had the story in my head and wanted to get it on paper. I began writing, and worked many, many hours after a full day of work and other activities, and had the first draft done in roughly one month. Of course that was followed my many months of editing and revising, and eventually, the book got to where it is today.

The story behind DJ came from a combination of things that were going on in my life at that time. I had seen a story on slavery, and just couldn’t believe that some people believed they could own another. And to treat them badly, just made the idea of slavery completely intolerable to me. At about that same time, I had a very scary dream, in which I was being pursued by this thing – that would stop at nothing. It bore its way through solid walls, and I would have to run to evade it. Over and over I ran, then hid, terrified that I could not outrun this thing for long. When I woke up, I knew I had to try to capture those emotions and put them into a story, and thus, Dark Justice was born.

It was my first book, and I love it like one of my children. It has taught me so much, that I will never be able to repay it for all the lessons I’ve learned.
