A BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF HAUNTED LOS ANGELES

Why did Cecil B. DeMille really bury the Pharaoh’s Palace set after he filmed The Ten Commandments in 1923?

Fugitives Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine find themselves plunged into the supernatural secrets of Los Angeles — from Satanic indie movies of the ‘60s, to the unqiet La Brea Tar Pits at midnight, to the haunted Sunken City off the coast of San Pedro . . . pursued by a Silicon Valley guru who is determined to incorporate their souls into the creation of a new and predatory World God.

Review of 'Forced Perspectives' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Dear Mr. Powers, I love your imagination and the places it takes me to. Occultism, old Hollywood, Los Angeles landmarks, Catholicism: I vibrate to this combination. However, your publishing house does not respect you and assigns shoddy proofreaders to your works. Because of the Guy Kibbee eggs recipe I am giving this a four. If you want someone to do more than spell-check your manuscripts, if they are like this, Three Days to Never, and Medusa's Web, please consider me.
