Blurb:
Rick Rasner escaped death in a New York City bridge explosion - but he couldn't escape becoming an unwitting participant in a top secret military experiment.
When the Duke Organization, a group of ruthless killers, set off a violent explosion, they wiped out Rick Rasner's life as he knew it.
Many years later, as he still struggled to remember any shred of his former existence, he put a new life together - as a therapist in the Brookhill Children's Psychiatric Residence, a facility for troubled urban teens.
Brookhill's policies, set by head director Katherine Miller, seemed brutal and oppressive. She bullied the therapists too - Rick's meek personality left him incapable of handling her attacks.
He developed an unexplainable bond with fifteen-year-old patient Clara Blue - something about her conflicted, volatile personality struck a cord deep inside his psyche. Rick wanted to help her and the other patients, yet met with non-stop opposition from the staff.
The Duke Organization resurfaced, searching for Rick Rasner. When they found him at the Brookhill facility a bloody hostage situation ensued. The lives of both Rick and Clara were about to change - but for the better or worse?
Disgraced mercenary Jake Scarberry was forced out of the witness protection program and back into action - after the Duke Organization. An unpredictable chain of events result between Jake, Rick, and the Duke Organization - and Clara Blue.
This complex psychological suspense/thriller will leave you questioning exactly who to root for in a battle of good versus evil.

I can't wait to read book 2, I couldn't put down the first one.
Luis. C
I have to agree with Luis. The Rasner Effect was definitely a page-turner.
Mark -
Besides the "cat" story, do have other story ideas bouncing around beyond The Rasner Effect series? Can you share one sentence to intrigue us?
Sorry for not responding, i haven't checked this page for a few days.
I actually have two other stories bouncing around in my head.
One is a short story about a vampire who's masquerading as a civilian, and he's a teacher. Everything's fine, until everyone in the school finds out what he really is. (Just waiting for requests for the next vampire anthology)
The second is a full book (or short story) about the end of the world...but with a twist. That one i'm still working on the details, but i think the idea can be very shocking.
