Carol's first novel!

The first book in the Defender of Our Souls series, Slaying the Shadows (available through Virginia Pines Press), is an intriguing and thought provoking saga of good vs. evil, played out in the picturesque Oregon town - Cherry Creek. Here, murder, lies, and the occult have traumatized this previously tranquil community. Henry, a mysterious stranger, has purchased and is occupying a large piece of property on the outskirts of town. Soon, an archeological dig site is developed and an ancient parchment discovered. Steadily, the town's formerly conservative inhabitants are drawn into the ever-increasing web of deceit and unthinkable horror. Blinded by the promise of power and wealth people begin to behave in disturbing ways, murderous ways, deviant ways. A brood of sinister, demonic creatures is prodding and pulling the townsfolk forward…toward their demise.

The former pastor has been murdered; his wife is kidnapped, and his daughter is being targeted for destruction in a three-phase plan to culminate in a sacrifice meant to give heretofore unheard-of power to the cult's leaders.

While the new town pastor Ted Lions and his congregation join forces to place their trust in God, the tentacles of evil continue to slither closer, seeking to discourage, deceive, and devour. The Christians soon discover that spiritual warfare will leave battle scars.

Slaying the Shadows was number 3 on the Top 25 list at Bookwire.com.

Stay informed! Carol is working on Book 2 in her Defender of Our Souls series, Conquering the Chaos.

Read an excerpt from Slaying the Shadows . . .

Lily sprinted away; leaves and foliage crunched beneath her feet. The beast was gaining on her. She could hear its ragged breathing behind her as the gap between them closed. Her feet flew down the overgrown path; she lifted the lacy skirt of her long, white gown as she dashed in and out of the trees. Her eyes watered as her bare foot alighted on something sharp. Crack! The branch beneath her foot broke. She didn't dare cry out. The gargantuan was crashing through the brush behind her, seemingly undaunted by her swiftness. Read More.
