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.

Author Bio:
My childhood zigzagged. I was born in California. My parents moved to Tennessee, then Kentucky and returned to California when I was fourteen. I graduated from UCLA (theater major), was an actress for a split second then moved to Reno and raised children. In Reno, I started a location casting company, moved back to LA, worked as a casting director, then I became an English teacher, the biggest challenge yet. Seeing donated boxes of YA novels, I decided to give writing a try. How hard can it be? Incredibly hard. Still, I started with a story about one of my great uncles, a prisoner in 1930’s Ohio. He escaped right before the prison burned down, killing almost all the inmates. My story ends on Christmas Eve in 2004 as mall rats fight demons in a burning shopping mall. Now I live in Northern California with Arthur, a tuxedo cat, Henry, a fierce chihuahua and Daniel Oldis, also a writer. I’m finishing my second sci fi novel. a sequel to Babylon Dreams which takes place in an after-death VR world.
