“The
air became frigid and the lights flickered as they both watched a shimmering
veil of mist rise from the hardwood floor. As it floated toward Kelly, the dim
shape of an adolescent came to life in its veiling center. The little girl’s
body grew more defined in its advance, until every detail of the portrait at
Kelly’s back focused and came alive before them.”

Soon
after Thomas Shear buys a house for his art gallery, the spirits of a killer’s
child victims haunt his dreams. Believing they were conjured by stress and a
vivid imagination, Tom hopes to vanquish the nightmares that leave him shaking
and sweat soaked by creating a series of life-sized portraits portraying the
suffering of each little girl.
When
news of his portrait series spreads, Tom is confronted by the lead investigator
for the missing children, Detective Mark Winward. Realizing he has become
involved in something more sinister than he could ever have imagined, and
becoming the detective’s number one suspect, Tom races to find the real killer
before he is framed and someone Tom loves becomes the killer’s next victim.
Portrait
of Rage sets
the stage for The Marcel Experience, giving readers a glimpse into what is to
come. Both horror and romance, real and fantastic, Portrait of Rage introduces
real-world horrors into the universe of the supernatural.

Kelly’s breath caught as she watched him. He
really was the most gorgeous, sexiest man she’d ever met. “I’ve heard that
over-stimulating the senses can be deadly.”
“There’s only one way to find out.”
Kelly smiled as the kitchen door swung shut
behind him. She could still feel the touch of his kiss and hands on her body
and she felt a soft blush warm her cheeks. She shook her head in awe of her own
unhindered response and turned to the task of preparing the table.
The china sparkled as she lit the candles,
watching each wick ignite into a glowing flame. Otis Redding’s “Dock of the
Bay” drifted to her ears as she dimmed the lights.
“Perfect,” she whispered, surveying the
scene. She raised her wine glass in a silent salute. A caress from eyes behind
her softened her smile as she turned.
“Everything’s ready—”
Kelly’s smile wilted as the delicate crystal
she held in her hand slipped to the floor with a splintering crash. She shook
her head in denial at the little girl standing a few feet away and cringed
beneath the haunted, forlorn light-blue eyes that pleaded for help. They seemed
to bore into the very depths of Kelly’s soul, and she shuddered as the little
girl lifted her hand, beckoning her to follow.
“Please, help us.”
