#2 The Stone Trilogy - "The word scary doesn't come close to doing the book justice," writes the Chicago Tribune about THE BLOODSTONE.

Actress Chandal Knight has no memories beyond the fateful night she nearly died in New York City two years ago. No one, including the psychiatrist at Lakewood Sanatorium, has been able to find out what exactly happened in the horrific fire. Chandal has settled in Los Angeles, where she has healed, became romantically involved with her agent, Ron Talon, and started working in the movies. But then one day Chandal suddenly finds herself sitting in a cab in New York City, with no memory of how she got there. She is frightened and bewildered, increasingly so by an inexplicable force that seems to be taking her over. She only finds peace of mind when she returns to her old neighborhood, at the very place where she nearly died. After Chandal finds a necklace of sorts—a red-veined stone hanging from a tarnished chain—and starts wearing it, wonderful things starts to happen: a charming carriage house in her old neighborhood becomes available for her to live in and she lands a major part in a new play. But shortly thereafter the terrifying visions and flashbacks begin—-confused, dark, deeply sexual—-the source of which she cannot determine. Her boyfriend in Los Angeles, Ron Talon, brings Chandal's psychiatrist with him to New York, where Chandal is carrying on about possession, and of her being turned into someone else. While everyone around Chandal believes she has slipped into insanity, she is facing and fighting the insidious evil that has been so patiently waiting her return.
