    But the trusting innocence of these small-town people will prove to be their undoing, for they cannot conceive the likes of the stranger they are helping on that snowy night.No need to worry about the weirdo. He's just passing through.Author Commentary‘Passing Through’ is the third book I have written that I would call a psychological thriller. The first was ‘Brother’s Keeper,’ and when I wrote that, I thought it was a bit much. ‘Passing Through’ is on an entirely different level, however, not just in its depth and explicitness.‘Passing Through’ was very difficult for me to write for several reasons, but there were two in particular that took a toll on me. First, I have had close personal experience and interactions in passing with violent criminals. Their minds and ways of thinking are ugly and burdensome; they are not people you want to make regular friends. To put these things into words and make people understand it was, well, exhausting.I also found myself quite beaten up after writing every violent part. I didn’t want the parts to be mild, because the character of Elliot Keller was a horrible, horrible man. Some of the visuals I got, which are what prompt what I write, made me sick, and more than once, I had to step away and breathe.I didn’t go into his past to provoke pity or compassion. He is nothing more than a rabid animal, and his actions clearly demonstrate that. With that being said, by the end of the book, you will understand what I mean, and you will still hate him all the more.Thompson Trails, Virginia, is yet another fictional town full of ignorant, innocent unawares that have no idea what is about to hit them. I love to develop these little burgs, and I enjoy creating the people who live blissfully within their boundaries. I grow to love many of the characters, no matter how brief their appearances; as readers know, authors kill people off, no matter their age or how good of a person they are. This happens a lot in Thompson Trails, and I grieved each death. Bad things happen, and they always seem to happen to good people.For those of you who are lovers of horror, well, here you go. I hope you enjoy it. I also hope it makes you as sick as it makes me. It is that horror and sickness that makes us face the harsh realities of life and keeps us on our toes. I didn’t write this and then roll it in sugar because it isn’t candy; it is a jagged little pill that will slice your throat straight open if you swallow too fast. Believe me, when I say, it is not for children. Best to give fair warning; I wrote this in a manner that would leave some kind of mark. Hopefully, the mark is a good one.So, sit down with the lights on and enjoy the terror that is Elliot Keller in ‘Passing Through.’
