Avalina
Timeless Fear with A Lust for Vengeance!
On the evening of an impending winter storm, in the quaint suburban town of Merryville, New York in February 1969, fifteen-year-old Avalina Bishop becomes the victim of a cruel and heinous crime committed by her best friend and four other classmates for being an alleged witch. What they don’t know is that Avalina was given a special gift from her grandmother, who is a true witch from Salem, Massachusetts, enabling Avalina to walk the Earth once more.
Over fifty years later, Avalina’s soul is reawakened, but darkened by pure rage and an insatiable desire to smite all those who have wronged her. She embarks on a quest for revenge and begins possessing the bodies of young mortal women in an effort to carry out her own evil deeds. However, Avalina’s plans frequently get derailed as she struggles to navigate a strange, new, digital-driven world amidst a deadly pandemic; and ultimately, experiences sudden, first-time love and the belief in another chance at true happiness. However, Avalina discovers that the man she falls in love with has a ghastly secret of his own that could very well lead to her own demise, for their destinies are intertwined in far more ways than either of them could have ever imagined.

Death on the Railway, Second Edition
A horrific thrill ride you won't be able to put down, until the unbelievably shocking ending! Death on the Railway is a supernatural crime thriller with an element of romance. This thriller is set in the highly stressed, fast-paced world we live in today and will appeal to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers.
When the parents of 21-year-old Angelo Russo are tragically killed in a car accident, he is left in the care of his older sister, Carina Russo, who seduces him. Both Angelo and Carina fall deeply in love with one another, but Carina fears that her professional modeling career will be in jeopardy should the salacious secrets of her life be exposed. After she has a fight with Angelo, she disappears into the night, never to be seen alive again.
Once Angelo gets hired to be a conductor for Morton City Railway, he discovers that his beloved sister has become a murder victim of the city's psycho serial killer, the "Railway Butcher." Angelo is incessantly haunted by his sister's ghost as more of his colleagues and friends become victims of the "butcher."
Angelo's crusade to find justice for Carina and his friends quickly turns into one needing to prove his own innocence, when he becomes the prime suspect during the police investigations. When a new love, named Carlita Gomez, also enters his life, Angelo accepts that he needs to let go of his romantic love for Carina in order to find true happiness; but Carina isn't ready to let go, and he must now fight for his life and to protect the woman that he loves.
This new version will be more reader-friendly and less offensive. However, since "Death on the Railway" is primarily a horror story, this book is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. This new version still contains graphic horror, gore, violence and mature subject matters.
Author, Manuel Rose, injects his many years of railroad experience and knowledge into this novel in order to help make this terrifying tale more believable.
