5 Great reasons to buy from us:
In the hay loft of a barn in an authentic old west ghost town, Nick Caden uncovers the body of Billy the Kid ... and other deadly secrets!
It's all just for show...right? Nothing more than Hollywood theatrics? "This is an authentic old west ghost town," the sheriff tells Nick. "Around these parts the dead don't stay dead."But Nick Caden's vacation becomes a living nightmare when this this "living" ghost town in Deadwood takes a deadly turn toward trouble. Soon Nick finds himself trapped in a stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James. The shooter whirls, aims and... vanishes. Great theatrics, Nick thinks. Except now he's alone in the hayloft with the bullet-riddled body of Billy the Kid which (and this is where things really get crazy-scary) DISAPPEARS.
Soon Nick is caught in a deadly chase---from an abandoned gold mine, through forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and across Rattlesnake Gulch. Around every turn he finds another suspect. Will Nick solve the murder before his family leaves Deadwood? Or will the town's desperate need for tourist income bury the haunting truth -- that something evil lives in this Old West Ghost Town?

"This series has the same longevity and wholesome quality as "The Hardy Boys" and "Nancy Drew" but the author writes for today's youth." ~ Amazon review
"I enjoyed reading this fun, suspense adventure. Great book for middle school. Teen boys and girls will enjoy it, too!" ~ Amazon review
"I would think it would be for ages nine and up. A good Christian book for boys." ~ Amazon review
"I was guessing until the end of the book. I did not know who it was. Even adults will enjoy this book." ~ Amazon review
Written for the General Market (G): Contains no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language. While this murder mystery series discusses things like ghosts, vampires, and zombies, it does so without showing blood and gore. May also contain some content of an inspirational/religious nature.
Interview with the Author
Q: Why should a boy or girl begin reading the Monster Series?
Novels in the Monster Series are fast, fun, clean teen and tween books that point readers back to the Bible where much of today's modern horror themes originated. Boys and girls will fall in love with the quirky characters Nick meets, their oddball antics, and the way Nick solves murder cases by watching police and detective shows - all while Nick displays daring confidence (while also finding trouble and danger).
Q: Why should parents buy the Monster Series for their boys and girls?
Parents will appreciate the clean elements and moral values that avoid profanity and sexual situations. As an imperfect teen sleuth, Nick is troubled by the phoniness he sees around him and the lies of others that pass for facts. Above all, he wants to find the truth. This drives him to act in ways that lead him towards danger. Nick believes his generation, more than any other before it, needs to seek truth and that can only be found by asking hard questions. His parents may know some things and authority figures may have it all figured out, but Nick knows things are not always as they seem. Until something is examined, tested, and found true, only then can it be counted upon. Each book has some romance, but it's innocent and clean.
