Sliding Beneath the Surface

Just as Jeff Golden is about to start classes at St.

Augustine High, he finds himself up to his eyeballs in paranormal experiences that are rooted in one of Florida's most important historical events.

Scared out of his wits, he relies on his friend, Carla Rodriguez, and Lobo, an old Native American shaman, for help.

Despite this guidance, things get even worse, making Jeff realize he is in danger of losing his sanity and even his life.

Finally, forces he doesn't fully understand push him to leap headlong into the unknown in order to save himself.

In doing so though, Jeff risks something even more valuable to him than his own existence. BOOK EXCERPT: Someone called my name as if from very far away.

It sounded like Carla, but I couldn't tell for sure.

I kept staring at the stained glass window with its surrounding mirrors and the clear glass oval as it hung there in the fog all by itself. "Jeff?" It was Carla's voice. Carla and Lobo somehow appeared directly in front of me with the stained glass window behind them set in its door as it should be.

How that all happened so quickly I had no idea. The fog was gone and Lobo's house looked like it did when I first saw it. Once again, I stood on the porch. "Are you OK?" Carla asked in a worried voice. "What is it? What's going on?" I didn't say anything at first. Guess I was just too stunned. The change out of that horrible, dark fog had been so quick I found it hard to believe I had come back to Carla and Lobo.

Where I had gone, I didn't know, but Lobo's words leaped into my mind. "Worlds-within-worlds-within worlds."
