Rock Blackstock is the black sheep son in a rich celebrity family. Hoping to finally make a name for himself as a party planner to the stars, Rock descends upon Flowery Branch with a big budget and a mission to plan a haunted-themed wedding for his superstar sister. Rock charms his way into the Green Mansion, a magnificent Victorian house where the wedding is to take place, and discovers it is possibly haunted-perhaps by the man buried in the manicured yard. Rock becomes enamored with the magnificent and doting spinster sisters of the mansion, despite the fact that foggy-headed Flossie implicates herself at every opportunity and clings to fantasies, like her persistent claim that Burt Reynolds visits her secretly as a suitor. Attempting to redeem himself by fighting one disaster after another, Rock nearly destroys the town with his meddling, but discovers that love and acceptance can come from the strangest of places.

"The desolate streets of downtown Pittsburgh in 2073 are a reminder of the missile attack that forever changed the lives of the surviving scientists and students hidden in the fallout shelter of Helmsby's Genetic Research Center. Believing themselves to be the only survivors, they station themselves inside the center until food supplies near depletion. Thinking the fallout has lessened, they emerge three years later to discover strange creatures patrolling the streets in search of human flesh and blood. The creatures possess the ability to shift their genomes and alter their appearances by realigning their genetic sequences. Daniel Hutchinson, their leader, teams with Lucas Ridale and together they set out to scavenge the area for food and supplies with the hope to find other survivors. But Daniel's most recent journey uncovers mysteries more frightening than the shifters. He discovers the tip of Pittsburgh has been fenced off from the rest of the area. Low-flying helicopters observe the streets, making him ponder the question: Were the shifters released as simply part of a military experiment with humans being their prey?." (SIGNED FIRST EDITION).

Satisfaction Guaranteed. "Marty is a deep and thoughtful observer of the human condition.someone with an observant eye for detail, with perceptive insights into everyday actions and events that are at the same time commonsensical and profound. It is clear that service in the Navy was for him, as it was for me, a major life-shaping force. Marty's insights into the virtues and follies of military life are delightful! The military bureaucratic foolishness that some of his tales highlight can be humorous or tragic, depending on the circumstances. Marty's stories about his business career offer us a picture as to how traits we all purport to hold in high esteem are still valued. Common sense, plain direct speaking, honest bargaining-all flow as virtues embedded in the pages of this book. In an age of business speculations and clever sharpsters, this book should be required reading. This book represents his views and values which reflect our hope that Metuchen, New Jersey, and America, even while experiencing the inevitable changes that the future holds for us, remain committed to the fundamental principles that Marty has shared with us in this delightful read."
