Coming in February: The Burning Ground, A Chilling Novel of Vengeful Spirits

Burning Ground

The Maidu Indians wanted no part of the white devils that came to their sacred land to hunt the shiny metal. But in 1849 Gold Rush miners in the Sierra Nevadas slaughter nearly all the inhabitants of Kalkalya, trapping their spirits. Over 160 years later, a grave robber desecrates the Maidu burial ground in search of artifacts. Now the vengeful spirits unleash a bloodbath that threatens the town of Lodestar, just as hordes of unsuspecting tourists arrive for the annual Labor Day weekend festivities celebrating California’s Gold Rush. The task of preventing further carnage falls upon an unlikely quartet: a former ballplayer; the town librarian; an elderly Maidu descendant; and a ten-year-old boy—the son of the grave robber whose immoral actions first raised the spirits up from the Burning Ground.
