Stories to touch the heart and mind
Sometimes good people do bad
bad things for the right reasons
As a decorated officer, Eric Emerson is honor bound to defend the helpless, and trained to survive against a ruthless
enemy, yet these skills were useless to protect his family from a faulty legal system. Riddled with guilt, he’s torn
between his combat experience and the rules governing society. The conflict shatters his marriage, his job, and his
sanity, until she saves him from his demons. Together, they stumble upon the Osiris study, a secretive government
report that predicts a dire future unless there are draconian sacrifices.  The attempt to unravel the mysterious nature of
the study targets them for assassination until, once again, Eric embraces his dark side.  The revelation about Osiris
demands a horrific choice: ignore what they’ve found or become the seed to mankind’s survival, but at a terrible cost.

Life in the small rural town of Lawton, VA is everything you can imagine: wonderful people, beautiful vistas, and
a peaceful environment to raise your family, except for one thing. The greed and vanity of a few men has exacted
a heavy toll on the community, and no one knows. Not those whose lives have been forever affected. Not the
children suffering from a misdiagnosed affliction. Only Sara knows. In her subconscious mind, the nightmares
that haunt her sleep, they show her the confusing truth. The anguish of the children in her special education class
imprints the reality of what’s happening in the town. Each time she tries to conceive, her mind projects the images
onto the unborn child she desperately wants, but she never verbalizes her fears to her husband. Until the true
sinister nature of the clandestine EW operation is revealed and the couple is forced to struggle for their lives.
Greed is blind to
human suffering
