Dakota Shane, gigantic country and pop superstar, stands center stage at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon the night six shots ring out through the stadium. Five deaths occur but only four go on record. All four are women.

But there is so much more to this story than just a mass shooting.

Snap back in time eight days and follow the lives of a handful of people whose worlds swirl around and bounce off each other like silver pinballs. Who is responsible for this horrid event? Who are they targeting? Why? Why would anyone do such a thing?

THE ROSE GARDEN ARENA INCIDENT is a book about loss, about courage, about love, and about redemption. But mostly, it's a book about trying to make sense of a world where things don't always make sense. It's a story of grieving and hope and learning how to change things that need changing and live with the things that cannot be changed.

A serial thriller in seven parts, the first installment is MOSH PIT--a book that opens the door for everything to follow afterward in a stream of cause and effect that leaves readers anxious for more.

With an ensemble cast and tight, crisp writing, ROSE GARDEN will appeal to fans of Stephen King's THE STAND, Paul Thomas Anderson's MAGNOLIA, and those who admire the works of Dean Koontz. The first book will be released September 19 with each subsequent volume coming out approximately a month later. It's an event not to be missed!
