Book excerpt: “You have a very lovely little girl,” breathed the voice on the phone. And just like that, Susan Young is drawn into a living nightmare. A stranger has kidnapped Sue’s daughter, Veda. But he doesn’t want her money, only her suffering–and he will kill Veda if Sue doesn’t follow his every command. With detailed instructions, the faceless abductor leads Sue into a blinding snowstorm on the longest night of the year, to a place she has not traveled to since childhood. The voice on the other end of the line somehow knows Sue’s deepest, most chilling secret–an ominous incident from her past, buried long ago... Across the loneliest back roads of Massachusetts, in the black expanse of a New England winter, Sue is forced to confront her most awful fears as she is met at each step by ever increasing horrors created by a monster who is surely something less than human. In the hope of saving her daughter from a kidnapper whose origin seems darker than anything she could ever have imagined, Sue will discover just how much trauma and fright the human body is capable of absorbing. Set over the course of a single night, Chasing the Dead is a fast-paced, ferociously tense supernatural thriller. With the skill of masters like Dean Koontz and David Morrell, Joe Schreiber has created a tableau of shock and horror, death and destruction, that will draw you in and never let you go.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "AN ANCIENT AIRCRAFT MADE OF GOLD SAID TO BE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD...THE UNRELENTING AMAZON JUNGLE...A BEAUTIFUL LITERARY AGENT...DANGER AND ROMANCE COME TOGETHER IN THE LATEST CHASE BAKER ADVENTURE!" "Can Chase survive the unrelenting jungle?" Seeking a much needed payoff, Chase Baker stumbles into the opportunity of a lifetime: to use his treasure hunting skills to seek out an aircraft hidden deep in a remote part of the Amazon Jungle. But the aircraft in question isn’t any old airplane. Legend claims it’s an ancient flying machine called the Golden Condor—an intergalactic spaceship delivered to the Incas by aliens more than a thousand years ago. There’s a catch, of course. Hostile tribal natives, in collaboration with a band of Tupac Amaru revolutionary terrorists, will stop at nothing to murder Chase, his team of explorers, and his beautiful literary agent, before they reach the Condor. And if the terrorists don’t kill them, then the writhing, creeping jungle almost certainly will. But in typical Chase Baker style, once he sets his sights on the prize, nothing will stand in his way. They are embarking on a mission that, if it succeeds, will change the way historians view the ancient Inca civilization—and alter society's beliefs about early man and the heavens above.

Book excerpt: J.C. Stringer is once again hurled into action, off his sailboat, and racing against time. Not that he wants to be, or is expected to be. It’s what he does. There had always been small talk between the drivers, those waiting to start work, and those waiting to go home. It came with the job. It was part of the experience, part of pickups, and part of the deliveries, the thoughts and the possibilities. The ‘what if’s,’ what would you do, how would you handle it, if one day you were out on your route and a package fell off a shelf, busted open, and was full of money, diamonds, drugs, or something that could instantly changed your life. Better yet, what if a package had been placed on your truck on purpose, without being scanned, and with no way of it ever being traced. What would you do? How would you handle it? Not that it mattered, not that the thought actually did anything more than pass time in the realm of everyday speculations. It was nothing more than small talk, between employees with nothing better to do. The thought was simply myth and legend, put together and analyzed, piece-by- piece by old worn out knee and hip replaced drivers, those who continued counting days until retirement. Nothing ever came from it, because it wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t happen. Not until the day Stuckey Gruber decided to actually make it happen… Now he’s a wanted man, and J.C. Stringer is the only man capable of actually finding him. Enjoy this high stakes adventure as Jimmy Chase Stringer leaves the peace and quite of his sailboat, the Brenda Kay II, and, by following his instincts, winds up south of Miami, heading towards the southern tip of the Keys, before sailing to the Bimini Islands, on the heals of a man who is now simply known as Red, a man looking for a second chance, and a better way of life. Only problem, Stringer isn’t the only one looking for Stuckey Gruber. The men sending the package want it back. The men waiting on the package want it back. The men planning the heist expect it back. And, the delivery package company, EDS, and their security team, they want the whole mess to go away, along with the employee they once knew as Stuckey “The Breeze” Gruber.
