Ruthless Storm Trilogy

Evan O'Conner isn't a normal child. His father's alcoholism and mother's abuse drives him to concoct a plan to rid his life of them permanently. The night is fraught with a horrendous storm, thunder and lightning as the beast inside him is born. Even in her death his mother won't leave. She haunts his subconscious as he attempts over and over to kill her. Evan meets his match when Officer Burkhlader enters the picture.

A disturbance at her neighbor's house piques Eilida's curiosity. What she discovers is so shocking it sends her running through the mountainous woods during a thunderstorm. She slips on the wet ground, plummets down Mount Wilde, and slams into a large boulder beside River Freedom. Eilida is transported to Lyden, where Sunshine, a receptionist at the local paper becomes engrossed in her story. The further Sunshine delves into Eilida's life, the more entangled their lives become.

Tommy and Eilida meet again at Flashers, the local college bar. Their friendship develops quickly. Then a student is murdered in her dorm, a previous victim of the Hurricane Killer. The assailant is on the loose when Eilida's apartment is broken into and she runs to Tommy for safety. She discovers his birthday is the one day that makes her soul cry, but is it only a coincidence? The cards stack against him as she finds Tommy is hiding astrological charts and Evan's map; material that would have solidified a case against the Hurricane Killer.
