About
I was born and raised in the mid west in Kansas. In 1971, I came to California to pursue a career in acting. I was more fortunate than a lot of kids headed west with stars in their eyes. I appeared in Ivan Reitman's "Ghostbusters" and Television's "Baywatch." Along with a lot of other films and t.v. shows and tons of appearances on stage around Southern Ca.
After semi-retiring, I have started writing novels in the Horror, Sci-Fi and Thriller Genres. I have always loved being a storyteller whether as an actor, special effects artist, or now, novelist.
Description
<p>(Book 1)<br />Betrayed by the woman he loved and on the verge of destitution, artist Jonathan Martinez channels his anguish and rage into what will become his greatest masterpiece—Passion and Betrayal. The painting, critically acclaimed, ushers him into the world of fine art and allows him to realize his dreams. Stepping out of the shadows, he transforms into Phillipe, a wealthy artist and sought-after bachelor who enjoys an extravagant lifestyle—including his pick of any woman he desires.<br /><br />But when Phillipe least expects, the woman who almost destroyed him returns on the arm of his agent. Despite his anger, she awakens the part of his soul he entombed long ago. The part of him that can never forget her, no matter how deeply he buries himself in his art.<br /><br />With everything he's accomplished at stake, can Phillipe overpower the demons that haunt him and learn to love again? Or will his heart remain a shattered work of art that can never be restored?</p>
Story Behind The Book
I fell in love with all things horror, science fiction and thrillers in the 1950's. I later became an actor, a stuntman and have been involved in building monster costumes for various movies. I always enjoyed reading scary novels and began to want to write my own. When I semi-retired, I finished one I had started writing two years earlier and it is now Evil Moon which I offer the first hundred pages for free, in the hope that you might tell friends and family to go to amazon.com and buy a copy.
Thank you for any help you can render in this effort, and I hope you will enjoy my novel.
Best Regards,
Harrison Ray
