Halloween Jack and the Devil's Gate

2011

"Halloween Jack is a perfect blend of Harry Potter and Harry Dresdon, only with no magic and just the right dash of attitude." Damon Stone - Fantasy Flight Games. "Halloween Jack and the Devil's Gate was an amazing read. The first time. And the second time... And for many more to come. Once the book sucked me in, it wouldn't let me go." Merelan Jones - Renaissance Productions When the Devil's Gate comes down, releasing all the hordes and legions of the darkest realm to roam the earth any night they wish, and jack o lanterns no longer keep the dark creatures at bay, only the last three descendants of the mythical Jack of the Lantern can save the world from the Devil and all his kin. "The journey the cousins’ travel, the wisdom about the nature of good and evil undergirding their actions, and the delightful imagination of the author, make Halloween Jack and the Devil’s Gate a story not to be missed." - Taylor Lee - Author of the Grandmaster's Legacy Based on one of the oldest Irish legends of Halloween, HALLOWEEN JACK AND THE DEVIL'S GATE is a Steampunk adventure story for all ages that will carry you to the heart of how we protect ourselves on the darkest night of the year.

Halloween Jack and the Curse of Frost

2012

Seven years to the moment of when the Devil and his minions sprang the trap with their steam-powered automatons on the line of Jack of the Lantern, sparking off the events which lead to John O'Brien transforming himself into the legend of Halloween Jack, the Devil strikes again. Once again, the darkest and vilest creature in all creation seeks to open the Devil's Gate once and for all, allowing for all the legions of the dark realm free to roam any night of the year they wish. What is the Curse of Frost, and what does it have to do with the family line of Jack of the Lantern. Halloween Jack and his cousins must learn what this means and how to stop the Devil before the sun sets on Christmas Eve, or mankind may lose just enough hope to give the Dark One enough power to escape his Dark Realm forever. The Halloween Jack books are part swashbuckling adventure, part steampunk fantasy... with more than a dash of Irish Mythology mixed in, just to make things interesting. If you enjoy stories with clever and cunning heroes, Halloween Jack is a hero for you!
