 Notes on the Series


         The Blue Creek/Richard Carter novels began with Bonne Femme, a tale of obsession and psychological terror.  In it the lives of Richard and Jill Belbenoit become inextricably entwined because of the obsession of a psychopath from Richard's past.  The relationship begun on the island of Bonne Femme evolves into a life partnership throughout the other stories.  Each story deals with a different species of obsession.  Some are mysteries, others suspense stories. 

         When I was a child and had a child's fear of graveyards, my father laughingly told me, "Why those are the only people who can't hurt you."  There are monsters among us, and sometimes within us.  Come and live the lives of Richard and Jill.

        " Are you okay?" he asked as he approached the fire.

        " What a strange thing to ask," she said.  " How could I be?"
