Liam was 16.  Liam was a star in every way imaginable. He was the best high school basketball player on the east coast. He porjected to be a first round NBA pick.  He was smart, good looking and dating the captain of the cheerleaders. Liam had every major basketball school in the country knocking on his door.

Then with one stupid act of passion -- he threw it all away in front of the crowd after the biggest game of the year.

When Liam is sentenced to attend military school for the rest of his high school career his dreams of professional basketball take a serious hit.  The cadet officers waste no time in teaching Liam the first lesson of military school during the plebeing period:  No one is special.  Just when he thinks he can't do it, he is befriended by a young female cadet who helps him through the end of plebeing.  Liam finds a friend in Lisbeth.

But when the building starts talking to Liam... telling him to do bad things.... he feels alone and like he is losing his mind.  Lisbeth is the only one he can turn to.  Through some research Liam and Lisbeth are taken on a roller coaster of history and terror dating all the way back before World War II.  They uncover the dark secrets of the military academy that include pagan rituals, missing cadets and a history of suicides.

Can they stop the madness? Can the end the cycle of horror and death at the historic school?  Find out in the first installment of the Towering Pines series.

Come back tomorrow for a sneak peak at the prologue from Towering Pines!
