Better know which one you are before you step into the lion’s den.

A serial killer has come to New Orleans. The local police believe they are up to the challenge even though they have no leads. But when a state senator’s daughter becomes the madman’s latest victim, they reach out to the FBI for help. Quantico sends the best: profiler extraordinaire Leo Stevens.

An expert in deviant psychology, Leo specializes in analyzing and hunting down the smartest, most twisted monsters in the world. Killers. Rapists. Human traffickers. Sex traffickers. Predators. But what he finds in New Orleans stumps him. Breaks all of the rules. Defies all serial killer classifications. No evidence, no suspects, no witnesses. Their killer is unpredictable but disciplined. There are no patterns to follow. And for the first time in a long time, he doubts his ability to accurately identify and catch their elusive prey.

But a twist of fate leads Leo to their first suspect, an eccentric artist named Sebastian Price. Despite the lack of any solid evidence, Leo’s confident he’s their killer. He just needs to prove it. But Sebastian is not going to make it easy. Professional dedication quickly gives way to obsession as Leo begins to hunt the most dangerous foe he has ever faced, the feverish chase threatening to cost him everything he holds dear. His friends, his family, his partner.

How far will he go to stop a madman who is superior to him in almost every way? How much of his own soul is he willing to sacrifice for the greater good?

Always into the Darkness is a supernatural thriller that fans of James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, Jeffery Deaver, Blake Crouch and JA Konrath will love

I am a dentist by day, a writer of dark fiction at night, and a father, husband, and not-so-proud pet owner when time permits.

I am the author of several dozen short stories, four novellas, and will be releasing my first novel, Blood, Smoke and Ashes, a supernatural thriller, in early 2013.

I was born in Georgia, but moved to southern New Jersey before I could be forced to be an Atlanta Braves fan. I spent my formative years living outside of Philadelphia where I latched on to the Philly sports teams and was promptly disappointed for almost twenty years. I spent my college years in New Orleans where I learned his bachelor's degree in evolutionary biology at Tulane University, then relocated to lovely Newark New Jersey, where I earned his DMD.

After eight years of bouncing around, I finally settled down back in south Jersey, only miles from the house I grew up in. I am happily married and the proud father of two children. I am also "dad' to a diabetic, half-blind eight-year-old daschund named Friday who is little more than a lump on the couch most of the time.

When not filling cavities or performing root canals or extracting teeth or fabricating dentures, or writing, I spend my time playing with my kids, playing video games, reading comic books, reading non-illustrated books, and impotently rooting on my beloved Philadelphia Phillies and less than beloved Philadelphia Eagles.

My favorite authors are, but not limited to, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Richard Matheson, Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, Simon Green, Jim Butcher, and Jeffery Deaver. I like to think that I learned something of the art of writing from each of these authors.

To this day, I wonder how the TV show LOST got so bad, so quickly. The wasted potential of the first three seasons still haunts me.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

A serial killer murders the daughter of a state senator in New Orleans, so the PD finally gets serious and calls in an FBI profiler.

I always feel like I should like serial killer books, but I rarely do, as the profilers are always these near god-like people, but in real life, they are nearly always wrong, and the killers are actually caught by sheer luck.

i finished the book only because I was drawn into the drama. However, this book had so many errors in spelling and grammar that I would be surprised if he had used an editor or proof reader. It became very annoying.

Overall it was a good story. It had it's slower moments at the beginning, but picked up pretty well once everything got going. Interesting story with just a little bit of the supernatural mixed in.

The grammatical and spelling errors took so much away from this book, very, very poor editing! What a shame....

I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I enjoyed the story, a great case of "catch me if you can", with twist and turns and a very interesting ending. There were a lot of typos which took away from the flow of my reading, and at times it was overly graphic, but overall, I liked the book.
