After a ten-year absence, Barry Riggs returns to his hometown of Aiken Mill, Virginia, in search of his brother, Matt, who has mysteriously disappeared. Not only is the younger Riggs missing, but his house has been ransacked and branded with a strange word—LEBO—painted in blood on the living room wall. Barry meets a number of locals he had known in his youth, including a young woman named Jennifer Brand. Their friendship rekindled, they join forces to solve the mystery of Matt’s disappearance. They soon encounter an enigmatic character who goes by the name of Ren—a reputed Satan worshiper. As Barry and Jennifer unravel a series of arcane clues, they learn that nothing and no one are quite what they appear—and that deadly, inhuman forces are at work in this world.The Lebo Coven, my second novel, was originally published in hardcover by Thomson Gale/Five Star Books in 2004, and as an ebook and audiobook by Crossroad Press in 2010. Crossroad Press will be publishing my newest novel, The House at Black Tooth Pond in the near future and, to gear up for that event, is re-releasing The Lebo Coven as a paperback. The House at Black Tooth Pond is not a direct sequel to Lebo, but it is set in the same continuity, featuring common characters, references, and setting.
