Proud  to present Ted's latest adventure:

White Heat, White Ashes

Coming of age is never easy, especially for seventeen year-old Peter Grayson. Still grieving his father's suicide, Peter and his mother move to a small Texas town. Other than his new girlfriend Jennifer and best friend Jerrod, Pete finds it difficult to fit in.

When a family of Hispanic workers is killed in a tragic fire, Pete is scrutinized by the police. Suddenly his world makes little sense. His best friend ignores him and he is lured into the frightening world of a secret militia.

Diablo Creek

Sixteen year-old Peter Grayson and his pal Jerrod rescue a nearly-drowned young Hispanic man from raging floodwaters. He refuses to give the boys any clue about the terrible place from which he's escaped. After he has left their care, Pedro’s lifeless body is found floating in the waters of Diablo Creek. This time he is truly dead.

Pete and Jerrod's  quest for the truth leads them into a deepening spiral of danger and corruption, right there in their otherwise peaceful little town of Bennington. In the end, the only things that could possibly save them from certain death are levels of courage and ingenuity they had never before needed. Will the waters of Diablo Creek claim more victims, or will Pete be able to save himself and his friend?
