I reviewed Shadow Stalker 1 and am in the process of reading Shadow Stalker 2. I like both books, and although I have several books in the queue ahead of it, I fully intend to read Shadow Stalker 3 now that its out. If you are interested in paranormal fantasy books with a strong female heroine, I recommend you check out the series.

I just completed this book and used it to improve the book blurbs for my Hell Holes novels. If you are an indie author and want to improve your book sale, this is a great little book to have.

I have just finished a first draft of the book cover and description of Hell Holes: To Hell And Back, the exciting third book in the Hell Holes series of paranormal fantasy and apocalyptic science fiction novels that I am currently writing:

The beautiful young photojournalist, Aileen O’Shannon, is not who she seems. For centuries, she has been a demon hunter, a sorceress who has tracked and killed small bands of demons that occasionally crossed into our world. But that changed when she joined Dr. Jack Oswald’s expedition to study one of hundreds of huge holes that mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle.

Instead of small sporadic incursions, hordes of demons now pour from these hell holes like water from a sieve. With bombing little more than a losing game of whack-a-mole, Earth’s armies are unable to destroy the portals. When Jack suggests a desperate plan, he is drafted to join Aileen and a team of other sorcerers and Army Rangers to travel to the demon homeworld. Once there, they will unleash a plague virus and set off a nuclear bomb to destroy the portal complex. It’s a suicide mission. But Aileen has given the Jack’s wife her word to bring him back safely, and the demons have already killed three men under her protection. Just how far will Aileen go to avoid losing another?
