"Don't labor over a little cameo work in which every word is to be perfect. Technique holds a reader from sentence to sentence, but only content will stay in his mind."

Zipline hooks the reader almost immediately. This is a suspenseful story with a compelling mix of tension and adventure.

It is an adventure story. A horror story. An amazing tale about the bonds of friendship and the stepping into an age of responsibilities that comes with work and family. This little book will surprise you. This adventure did not disappoint.
Online Book Club
I give Zipline a rating of 4 out of 4. Although the book was a brief read, its suspense and adventure were things I didn't want to end. I recommend this book to all lovers of fiction, adventure, and spooky tales.
ZIPLINE
June 7, 2022
If Gail knew Uncle Perkin's stories were true, she wouldn't have taken her friends up that mountain.
The plan was simple. Hike, camp, and ride the zipline down the mountain. But Gail's Uncle Perkins stories are true, and the horrors are real.
Now the simple plan is the only plan they have to get off that mountain or disappear, remaining there forever.
Zipline is an immediately gripping, fast-paced, unique story that will keep you entertained until the last sentence.

ZIPLINE AFTERMATH
​
JULY 7, 2024
​
Gail and her friends may have escaped the mountain, but now they all have to deal with the AFTERMATH.
Two years later, all have entered the workforce. Neal and Gail are contentedly married and she’s pregnant with twins on the way. But Neal is unsettled as special abilities emerge which he has to learn to embrace. Worse yet, he’s having strange visions of gruesome murders that actually happened as if he was there.
Now Neal, Gail, and friends are wondering if he is truly going rabid. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they find the truth is far worse and more insidious than anyone could imagine.
Aftermath is a mystery suspense continuation to Zip Line that will grip you from beginning until the very end.

"A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent because everything she does is golden. In my view, a writer is a writer because even when there's no hope, even when nothing you do shows any signs of promise, you keep writing anyway.
