Science Fiction | Mystery

Something strange is happening in Houston and its rural suburb, Trumbull. It starts with the bizarre mutilation of a farmer's cow, sparking rumors of UFO sightings and alien visitations. It's all an annoyance for the police, who would prefer to focus on the recent murders in the area.

Mike Walsh is a journalist with a nagging editor and a troubled marriage who finds himself inexorably drawn into the deeper story creeping up on all who dare get close enough: a grizzled small town police captain, a depressed journalist, a disillusioned pastor, and a little old man. They are unlikely allies against the otherworld.

Re: Otherworld

I have the dream of getting myself back into running and spending more time doing vs idle time.

I love other-worldly kinds of stories and it sure takes a creative imagination to create them! I think I would enjoy your book. Happy Thanksgiving!

My first love has always been the English language, and I always wanted to be a writer. When I had the opportunity to expand on that dream, someone close to me not only shot down my idea, but hurt me so deeply, that I never gave it another thought. I also considered medicine as an alternate. Now it's too late, since by the time I would become an intern, it would be time for medicare. Since my first love is English, I would love to pursue it, but fear stands in my way. I would sooner capture a tarrantula!! Congratulations on your persistance, and may you write many more!!

A dream of perfect health after a breast cancer diagnosis and
then travel to farflung destinations. Thanks for your
wonderful post. Best wishes.

My dream has been to be able to talk with my mother who passed away a few years back. I want to talk about all the things we didn't get to talk about because of time, distance and just to let her know how much I really miss her.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people. At
first I thought med school but financial difficulties in my
family had me veer into a business degree. That way I
marketable with fewer years of study. It worked. Then I
married, had children and became a homemaker for nearly 20
years. When the kids were not needing me at home as much
anymore, I found entry level work in a nearby assisted
living. They trained me and after a year and a bit promoted
me to a health care admin position assisting the residents.
Funny, how things have turned out and I really love my work.

My dream would be to be a "keeper of the light"... a lighthouse keeper. Since that is not really an option any more, then the next best thing would to live in a lighthouse. I would love to run a bead and breakfast in an old lighthouse.
(Sandy Fielder 12:22pm November 25, 2013)

oops! I meant I would love to run a bed and breakfast.
(Sandy Fielder 12:23pm November 25, 2013)

My dream would be to travel through the U.S., being a tourist
and visiting as many beautiful natural parks, especially the
ones with waterfalls or any body of water. The southern and
western States are where I would start first.
(Wasanaa Smith 12:38pm November 25, 2013)

My dream is to write my own books. I have started, but no time or space to
continue at this time.
(Michelle Schafer 2:15pm November 25, 2013)

I dream of being a piano player in order to learn and play for family and friends and church.
(Lucas Hillman 3:39pm November 25, 2013)

I dream of taking a sabbatical from my job of 20 years to continue my education (specifically: earn a law degree) but I can't afford to quit and I know I don't have the fortitude to both study and continue working.
(Christine LaRue 5:50pm November 25, 2013)

My dream would be to run my own business one day. This sounds like a good book I will be sure to read.
(Rich Cook 7:32pm November 25, 2013)

My dream is to lose weight and write.
(Melanie Backus 10:27pm November 25, 2013)

Thank you for sharing your story about how you became a
published writer. Very inspiring.

I'm working on my dream garden at the back of the house.

My dream is travel the world
(Galina Zamoriy 7:37am November 26, 2013)

I have met most of my dreams. In terms of an unrealized crazy dream, maybe to sing with Taylor Swift, but that will never happen.
(Pam Howell 10:17am November 26, 2013)

My crazy dream was dropping 2 inch chickens in a boiling pot to make soup. Sure can't figure that one out!
(Barbara Wells 10:56am November 26, 2013)

My dream has always been time travel To go back and see historic events as they are actually happening. I know that someday this will someday be a possibility, however, maybe not in this lifetime.
(Vennie Martinisi 11:22am November 26, 2013)

Looks like a good read. Would like to win this book.
(Tina Lechuga 1:17pm November 26, 2013)

My dream is to get better at sewing. This is a little bit crazy since I only seem to spend about 15 hours a year on actually doing this.
(Laura Gullickson 1:28pm November 26, 2013)

My dream is to travel to all of our nation's national parks. Loved Zion, Olympic North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Glacier!
(Laurie Gommermann 2:05pm November 26, 2013)

(Cathy Thomas 5:12pm November 26, 2013)

my dream is to travel the world and see all the cool places in
it.

I always wanted to ride a camel. Not just ride one, but to actually race a camel across the desert.
(Rosemary Simm 4:21pm November 27, 2013)

Sometimes a dream just needs the right time. When it's a
creative endeavor, sometimes it needs a little more time for
the creator to step back a and gain some perspective about
the project. My dream was to be an archaeologist, and that
dream, too, needed some time and space before I was ready to
learn that there is plenty of time and space for a volunteer
digger--it's turned into a fun hobby, but I'm not making big
discoveries or leading expeditions. Just helping out adding
to local history, and I love it.
