T. K. LAVERENTS
THE BOOKS
I plan to publish several titles, not all related nor in the same genre. I consider myself first and foremost a storyteller, rather than a (insert the genre) writer. So please don't expect the titles below to follow a thread. I hope to entertain you with an entire palette of emotions.
Blood Sacrament
ASIN: B015JPBBXU
​
When a killer hears the voice of the Virgin Mary, Catholic priests are targeted and an innocent Marine Corps veteran is on the run for his life.
Dizzy, a bum with a taste for booze and books, is a college dropout and Marine Corps deserter. He's been running for years from the memory of his cowardice resulting in the death of an innocent Iraqi girl. But when he is seen in a city park standing next to a murdered priest, he must now run from the police and confront the killer in order to clear his name and destroy his personal demons.
And between the converging paths of the killer and the hunted, Detective Lieutenant Patrick McConnell races against time to prevent the next . . .
BLOOD SACRAMENT.

Visitation Rites
ASIN: B017TMACEA
Financial consultant Robert Winford has just been divorced and one of the “benefits” he won in the settlement is the right to a month-long visit with his teenaged son Jacob. He’d rather go through root canal surgery.

Just your typical father-son road trip into the desert, complete with sex and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll . . . oh, and a little armed robbery tossed in for good measure.

With the help of former homeless Marine Corps deserter Diego Zambrano, now Roman Catholic priest Father Diego Zambrano, Captain McConnell races to stop the killer before he can become the fulfillment of . . .
