by Jo Hammers (Author)

Chester Holly is raised in a rusted out mobile home just outside of Gardenia's garbage dump's gates. His dream is to escape his life and become a private eye with a prestigious detective agency in California. Fate lets him, a lily white skinned guy, meet a tuxedo black skinned girl named Keesha and fall in love. His red necked, prejudiced family belongs to the Klan and his love affair costs his stepfather his chance to advance in the Klan's social order. Keesha disappears and Chester thinks she has left him over something stupid he pulled. For three years he waits for her to call or return to him while voices cry in the night. Chester Holly discovers his community's secret. They eat, sleep, and exist just feet away from padlocked gates to Hell.

Author Biography

About six-thirty in the evening when I was seventeen, I unexpectedly had a white haired being pop into my presence, stare at me, and then poof... disappear. In those few brief seconds of time, I became a believer in the existence of parallel universes and societies of mystical people other than our own. I am a full time writer, living in a small cabin in the Ozark Mountains.
