Outer Banks

About Outer Banks:

Can love survive on the edge of humanity?

It’s Dillon McAllister’s grim duty to track down alien-infected humans-aka “Haunts”-and quarantine them to the Outer Banks for their protection. His job disgusts him, but he continues because if he can get to them before the other hunters, at least they’ll be treated with respect.

But now he as a new client with a different mission: to get a pharmaceutical executive’s daughter out of the Outer Banks, because she may hold the key to a cure.

Dr. Emery Mitchell hates what she’s become, but she knows she may be the only hope for three hundred thousand detainees isolated on the North Carolina barrier islands-including herself.

Dillon is the only man who seems to be able to see the woman behind the black eyes and cool skin, and as she slowly begins to trust him, she starts to see herself as he sees her. A human woman with a human heart.

As society begins to unravel, the pressure is on to find a cure before the hate groups calling for eradication can no longer be drowned out.

The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by John Russell

The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock by John Russell

“The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock is a mesmerizing journey into the mystical and unexplained. Authentic, heartfelt, and truly extraordinary.” My fourth book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock, is a collection of mind-blowing true tales of the supernatural. My new book examines not just newer experiences but it revisits some of the incredible events that I wrote about in my first two books—Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the dead, and A Knock in the Attic—with relevant updates to those narratives: such as the night that my precious and beloved deceased cat, Gizmo, came back in the flesh to visit me yet once again, proving that there is a powerful spiritual continuum in our lives that endures and provides additional truths and reassurances that our souls live on.

I write about never before told occurrences such as the time when my psychic powers fried a bus; the hair-raising supernatural event that happened to me when I was just a boy, running my paper route on my bicycle…in the dark; the magic rocks I’ve found over the years that changed in apparent weight and size and appearance; strange teleportations of objects from one sealed box to another after we had moved; an incredible story of the Devil himself dancing with several women in a West Texas nightclub during Cinco de Mayo; guidance from the Other Side that enabled me to save the life of a young child; and…the bizarre story of a snake that saved me and my buddies from a beatdown!

Sometimes my paranormal experiences are teaching moments that are subtle; memorable; and occasionally, heartrending, including life lessons that I’ve learned while observing nature, animals, and people. In some of my essays written in a style reminiscent of Robert Fulghum you’ll discover the spiritual lessons I learned from watching ducks in the river, a moth stuck in dewy grass, and a sacred moment I experienced with—of all things—a taco.

And then, there’s those pesky UFOs! Read about my own up close and personal encounters with these strange craft and my subsequent observations that have led me to draw distinct conclusions about their behaviors.

That’s just a smattering of the amazing true tales you’ll enjoy reading in my newest book, The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock.

The Demon Rift

About The Demon Rift:

For eons, it observed Earth’s smoldering beginning, then its parade of life and the rise of Man. It entered our dreams, whispering, cajoling, hissing its promises of glory and power. To cause a permanent rift in the barrier that separates our universes, it created a saboteur.

Red pools swirled in the yellow eyes as the boy began to smile, his mouth widening into an impossible grin.

Often moving between timelines, the story covers more than a century, as women fight a demon named Bernie. To serve his demon masters, he murders wherever he goes. As an old man, he is caught and sent to prison which he burns to the ground with almost everyone in it. His demon masters want to create a pathway to our world. To continue his mission, Bernie steals the identity and youth of his young cellmate. In 2004, Bernie is now retired U.S. senator and multimillionaire John Arnold, who has used his wealth and position to push forward a big shopping mall in Redhill, Ohio. The mall stands on the site where the barrier between worlds is thin, a location that previously housed the prison. Bernie plans a Great Offering: opening a rift for demons and richly rewarding himself. To do so, he needs the psychic abilities of Madonna, the latest in a line of women since 1898 who have fought but failed to stop him. But if Madonna can harness her powers, she can close the rift forever and save Redhill’s Christmas shoppers.

It’s 2004. There are no smart phones, no Facebook, no Snapchat or Instagram.

“The Mall” is the town square, a place to hang for mall rats and best friends, and a mecca for shoppers. Redhill Ohio has a new mall and many hope that it will revive the town’s dying economy.

As Christmas approaches, it seems they may be right. Then the murders start–all of them a necessary prelude to the main event.

On Christmas Eve there will be a battle and fate of the Universe determined.
