When eleven-year-old, Marissa Ruiz, first entered foster care she was warned. Don't let them get too close to you. Don't let them get you alone. Don't let them tuck you in at night. She was prepared for anything until the white van pulled up and she met The Shepard who soon taught her the ways of The Church of the Weeping Mary. The Mother gives you life... The Mother gives you hope... The Mother gives you purpose. Some pray for eternal salvation... some simply pray to survive one more day.

Author
John Paul Allen
Author · 6 books
Born and raised in Michigan, the youngest of five boys, John Paul Allen is described as "Hard to nail down, hard to put down, John Paul Allen's words will envelop your senses and fill your mind with worlds and people too real not to believe." (William Cook - Blood Related). Coming to horror and writing later than most he has quickly become known for his knack of crossing lines in order to tell a story. His published works include the novella Monkey Love, short story collection Dark Blessings, short stories Weeping Mary and House Guest. Allen's novel Gifted Trust (originally published in 2002) was recently released as a major revised version and his short, Little Miss is part of the the Fresh Blood Old Bones anthology.
