About the Book

This novel—much like my previous book, “Omens”—deals with adult themes of abuse and domestic violence.  I find it abhorring that sex offenders “with a high likelihood of re-offending” are being put back in our societies, often near schools and day care centers.  This novel, a curious blend of fact and fiction, serves to remind us that there are monsters in our midst—and at first glance, you probably wouldn’t see them.

Eric Watkins has recurring nightmares of his step-father, The Tall Man—though Eric hasn’t seen him in years and still blames him for horrific abuses in the past.

Unbeknownst to Eric, The Tall Man has been obsessed with writing a dramatic screenplay, “Glass,” in which The Tall Man seeks revenge on Eric for destroying a once-happy home.

When the two are brought together and the drama explodes onto the stage of reality, lives are irreparably altered—including that of a police chief who is caught in the middle.
