The Atheist's Prayer
Published February 2014 by Perfect Edge Books,​ an imprint of John Hunt Publishing
After a solar eclipse, nineteen people were found dead in a remote area of the California National Forest. They were lying in a circle, holding hands and wearing plastic fairy wings. 

Years later, on the other side of the country, no one in the southern city of Jefferson is concerned about fairies or fairy-worshiping suicide cults. Except for Candy. She might not have proof, but she's damn sure it's going to happen again. 

The problem is, Candy is a coke-dealing stripper and the only person who will listen to her is an alcoholic mall Santa named Hank, who's only listening because, well...she's hot. 

There are seven days until the next eclipse.

Underground Book Reviews
Picture
​I was a co-founder and manager of an online blog/e-zine dedicated to independent authors for eight years. Every Monday, we published a new review of an independently published book, along with advice and articles geared towards indie authors. We stopped publishing new content in 2018, when the influx of authors became too much to handle, but all of our previous reviews and articles can still be accessed online.
