Centered around Roman Montecchi, an enigmatic anti-hero-for-hire, who, armed with his wits, a gun, a ‘68 Mustang, and a few unique abilities, has to survive car chases, homicidal drug dealers, cultist cops, a gun-wielding priest, a hound from hell, fallen angels, and a psychotic vampire, and that’s just in the first forty-eight hours. If he can survive the next, he might be able to unravel the mystery of his origins, navigate a love triangle, save the lives of those he cares about, and stop an ancient plot to subjugate the human race.
A long time ago, and for several years, I worked as a comic book colorist for Malibu Comics and later Marvel. From there, I moved on to illustrating children’s books for Lyric Studios, where I mainly illustrated Barney the Dinosaur and another licensed character, Freddie Fish. More recently, I have written, illustrated, and self-published comic books, and self-published a single novel. I have one other novel in a second draft stage and one that I have just finished with the first draft. The work I am presenting now is my second (nearly) completed novel.
