about this book: THE DEVIL'S FOOTHOLD could be called a supernatural mystery or Christian horror. The title came from a Bible verse.

Deputy Jessica McGuire investigates an open grave, the skeleton of a baby is gone. Pastor David Tanner reports the theft of the redwood cross from his church. A pet baby goat has been stolen. The head of a prize ram has been chopped off. And Jessica's teenage son is acting strangely. Pastor Tanner suspects devil worshipping.

To be perfectly honest, this is another book that started out to be a Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery, but it took a different turn and I knew it didn't fit into that series. However, I liked the plot, so I changed the setting to another foothill community that I know well. Of course the main characters, Jessica, her son, and Pastor Tanner were also changed.

The main research I had to do was some of the aspects of devil worship. This book has been updated and re-edited.

I enjoyed writing this book, it's full of supernatural elements, plenty of excitement and a bit of terror, and a touch of romance.
