(The Dion Series Book 1)
Genre: Paranormal Thriller
As a San Francisco homicide detective, Mari Lucas was used to calling in favors to get her sister, Kerry, out of trouble, but this was the last straw. Instead of her usual minor brush with the law, Kerry landed herself in a locked psychiatric ward rambling about vampires who were out to get her. Working in San Francisco, Mari had seen a lot of crazy things, but vampires? Maybe Kerry had finally lost her mind.
But when her sister goes missing from the secure psychiatric facility, Mari is forced to investigate her disappearance along with a disturbing increase in missing persons cases among the homeless population. Forced to work the case with an outside detective, Mari will stop at nothing to find her sister. But what she finds will change her life forever.

inMelissa Craig – Cairns, Australia – I awake every morning to have my nespresso. It helps me function for the rest of the day. I need to function so I can write EROTICA. Writing about men’s hard bodies is a hard job. But someone has to do it. mmmm… My heart is always pumping at double speed. Blood rushes to every nerve in my body. I am parched constantly, making me swallow hard and lick my lips. I feel little trickles of sweat in places I didn’t know possible. See writing EROTICA is like doing a cardio work out. OK! Now I am breathless. I need to get back to writing more stories for you.
P.S. I love the beach and watching kite-surfing. Enjoy my stories any way you can. And I mean it…ANYWAY!

An old man twisted by fate and a lost love . . . a young girl playing on the ocean shore becomes entangled in nets of a mercurial god . . . a divorced man mired in troubles, coerced into taking a singles cruise . . . a Hollywood actor in a television drama, always typecast as the bad boy . . . a child kept awake by night terrors, and a woman who hides her secretive personality from everyone on the beach one sunny day. Genuine voices of the characters, mixed with a clear-eyed tonal directness, make this a series with mesmerizing psychological interaction. Stories span a broad depth of human understanding and build a bridge between deepest chasms of pain and high portals of joy. Read Sandcastle and Other Stories and stand witness to unspeakable hate sitting with cozy wile, right beside unconditional love — a provocative and compelling mirror on the human condition.
