BRIEF SYNOPSIS

In old St. Augustine, Florida, fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden’s recurring dream of being

stabbed in the chest and bleeding all over his bed is driving him crazy. It’s causing him to lose

sleep and giving him severe headaches. When his psychically gifted friend Carla and an ornery

Native American shaman named Lobo try to help, Jeff is inundated with terrifying paranormal

experiences.

Reaching out of Florida’s distant past, something increasingly entangles Jeff in tentacles

of danger that threaten his sanity and eventually his life. But the harder he tries to understand,

the deeper he gets. When comprehension finally dawns though, time has almost run out. Lobo

does his best to prepare Jeff for what he must face in order to survive but it may be too little and

too late.

It’s at this point that both Jeff and Carla find themselves swept headlong into an

alternative reality from which they may never return. If they don’t quickly and fully adapt to this

situation, all hope is lost. From Lobo they know how it might be possible to change what is

happening but the question is, can they? Repeatedly, Lobo has told both teens, “You create your

own reality whether in this world or in another.” If acted upon properly, that advice just might

save their lives and end suffering on an even wider scale.

BLURB

A new resident of America's oldest and most haunted city, St. Augustine, Florida,

fifteen-year-old Jeff Golden suddenly finds himself up to his eyeballs in frightening paranormal

experiences. At the end of his rope in trying to figure out what is happening to him, Jeff decides

to rely on his friend Carla Rodriguez, and Lobo, an old Native American shaman, for help.

Despite this guidance, things get even worse. Jeff's spine tingling encounters increase

in number and intensity at an alarming rate, scaring him even more. Eventually, he makes

the startling discovery that unresolved circumstances involving a bloody event directly out of

Florida's distant past threatens his sanity and possibly his life.

Finally, overwhelmed by forces he cannot understand or control, Jeff's world shifts from

frightening to downright terrifying. In desperation, and on Lobo's advice, he leaps headlong into

the unknown in order to save himself. What Jeff discovers though is that he has entered a level of

reality he is completely unprepared to handle while unwittingly dragging Carla with him.

Like all the books in THE ST. AUGUSTINE TRILOGY, the premise for Sliding Beneath

the Surface is simply this: You create your own reality.

Excerpt

”Lobo,” Carla said before the man could turn around, ”this is my friend Jeff Golden and he—”

”You know better than that!” The man scolded. What a voice. A deep one, like a big old Harley

cranking up. While using the rag to wipe sawdust off his hands and arms, he turned around and

faced us. “Nobody comes here unless they‘re invited by me personally, especially this boy who

has problems buzzing around him like angry yellow jackets.”

Angry yellow jackets? The guy‘s attitude reminded me of a crappy teacher I had last year. Hated

the man. Not a good beginning.

Lobo didn‘t have a big belly like a lot of older guys. A broad chest matched his big shoulders,

but the man‘s face is what really made me stare. It looked like the front of a ship, as if it could

cut through water. A large thin nose stuck out above a small mouth with full lips that puckered

just a little. From those lips on each side, a permanent frown sliced down to a sharp chin. Other

deep lines across the rest of his face and neck showed the man did have some age on him, like

Carla said.

His eyes though, are what really caught my attention. Deep set under thick, bushy brows the

color of his hair, the pupils looked completely black. Even so, they glittered as if a tiny powerful

light inside each one kept trying to get out. I swear, when he looked at me, I thought for a second

I was seeing twin lasers rapidly firing in my direction. Talk about weird.

Carla walked over to him, placed her hands on her hips and slowly raised her head so that

Mr. Lobo couldn‘t help but look at her. I tell you what, all five foot four inches of Miss Carla

Rodriguez was poised like a little snake ready to strike. I wanted to smile, knowing Lobo was in

for it, but I didn‘t. The guy deserved it.
