My second book is an old fashioned Murder Mystery that takes place in Tustin, California and traverses several cities in Orange County. If you are looking for a book filled with blood and graphic details of  murder and mayhem you will be profoundly disappointed. If, however, you are intrigued by captivating characters and plot lines that will mesmerize your imagination, this book is for you. I will test your powers of observation and challenge your perception of what you think is taking place. If you enjoyed Lizzi & Fredl I promise you will not be disappointed with The Red Sine Rumor. I will challenge your intellect to uncover the "murderer", but beware; I trust you will be shocked and stunned in the last chapter. I will accomplish with my book: The Red Sine Rumor, what Alfred Hitchcock realized with his legendary motion picture Psycho on the "Silver Screen".  There will, however, be an additional twist. I will make the memory and legacy of Rod Serling proud. The Twilight Zone like-ending will tantalize your imagination. 

You will be traveling through my dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of my mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: The Red Sine Rumor !

I can't wait to finish it and I can't wait for you to read it.

Do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-do-de-dooo (feel free to hum the introduction music to the Twilight Zone here).

Due to numerous requests I am offering the opening paragraphs of my new novel,

It will give you an insight to the intrigue and thought provoking mystery that will follow as you read the entire book. Enjoy!

~ The Red Sine Rumor ~

Life is perceived to be real to mortal man. Could life be, however, merely the musing of a spiritual soul? Is a soul's metamorphosis into human form a mere journey into another dimension to learn from an adversarial planet called, "earth"? Finally, is it possible that our interpretation of our "life" is but a highly evolved eternal spirit's manifestation that they call, "a dream"? Perhaps life and death is connected by a "wormhole" from a distant, but yet to be understood, dimension of time and space. Could The Red Sine Rumor be the key to the mystery of life? You are about to enter the fifteenth dimension. Be very careful, your life, such as it is, may depend on it!

Prologue 

                Suddenly, with crippling fright that seemed to accelerate exponentially, he opened his eyes realizing the enormity of what he had done. He awoke, shaking terribly, because he had dreamed that he was falling. But this disconcerting dream was somehow different from the ones he had as a child. This dream, however, seemed more like he was floating and not truly falling, but was nevertheless just as frightening. As most children experience dreams of falling in their sleep this one seemed so unlike any he had ever experienced before. His heart was beating ferociously in his chest and he could feel his rapid pulse pounding in his neck as the blood coursed its way to his head. The tepid beads of perspiration forming on his head contradicted the clammy feeling that shrouded his body. His breathing was rapid and the initial stage of hyperventilation had been set in motion. Each breath felt more and more inadequate and the vicious cycle rapidly continued as he tried to breathe deeper and deeper...
