New book. The Mystical Vortex

My latest novel, The Mystical Vortex, Gateway to Another Dimension, is available at the publisher, http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~36183.aspx

Neanna Miller drives into the sleepy red-rock artist community of Sedona to meet her treasure-hunting boyfriend only to be caught in the tentacles of a blue-robed cult seeking a way into another dimension. They claim she is the Chosen One that will give them the power to reach beyond this time. She is soon involved with believers of crystal healing, psychic meditation, and medicinal properties of mystical vortex sites. With the help of her archeologist friend and a Yavapai Indian, they discover the meaning of the revolving images glowing in the vortexes.

The novel combines the suspense of an unraveling mystery with the action of a science-fiction thriller. The most recent in a series of narrow escapes and fruitless explorations finds a skeptical Neanna Miller and an ambitious Michael Adams giving romance and adventure one last fling. Using an old map, they set course across the desert of Arizona on a journey that eventually reveals Neanna as the “Chosen One." She alone has the power to overcome an evil cult who is harboring ancient, mystical secrets from another dimension in the desolate southwest. Rising to the call, Neanna meets her destiny, prevailing over the cult by finding inner spiritual peace and thereby harnessing the power of her newly discovered identity.

According to Roy King, President of the Southern California Writer's Assn: "A most thoroughly engrossing story -- almost constant suspense -- with enough variation in the pacing to bring the action scenes home effectively."
