Insanity is sometimes fun, but sometimes deadly. The 1960's are coming to a close. The young Rita Pierce, having spent her childhood isolated and lonely, is coming of age and looking like her mother more and more. She has suitors. Rita's, fire-scarred monster-pa, full of hate and darkness, teeters between yesterday and today. Between sanity and madness. He believes Rita, conceived in lust and sin-born, is a witch from birth. Will he listen to the voice in his head, tie her to a steak and set her on fire? A witch doctor's conjure going rogue, unleashes an evil, bringing to life a hoard of scarecrows. Strawmen roaming the city and countryside of the Ozark town of NuSprings, Missouri, brings the city under curfew. Death is always near. No one is safe and not everyone will survive. However, with Storm Clouds comes a silver lining; his name is StormDancer. The one person even demons fear. The days are dark. The nights are scary. A storm is brewing. Will a wielding of magic help Rita escape a witch's fate? Will the scarecrows be stopped or merely pushed back deep into the witch-woods from where they came?

There is a way that seems right unto a person, but the way thereof is the way of death. It is the 1960''s. Above the rich Native American city of NuSprings, Missouri, the sky is turning dark with a deadly storm brewing on the horizon. Suicide Affair is a multi-book story of how lives crisscross and intertwine. Some affairs, no matter how exciting or appealing, are suicidal when pursued. Dark, intriguing, and sometimes chilling, Dark Skies pulls you down a path you would never wish to go: Rita, a child lost on the path, wanders a dark stormy world of loneliness and survival. Her worst fear is not being raised by the monster who murdered her mother, but the shadows that threaten to eat her soul. Garth, a boy with a good soul, is pushed onto the path and pulled into its darkness through revenge and murder. RiverDawg, an aging witch doctor, plays on the path and toys with those who venture down it. People are his entertainment. Quillpen Jack, a Native American boy hoping one day to become a great warrior, discovers the path is not only dark, but deadly. Will he survive? Will any of them survive the coming storm?
