"Sidewalks have crisscrossed my life like circuits on a computer chip. Only the Master Designer knows where the intricate patterns lead. Some sidewalks still await my feet. Others, I have been dragged over whether I wanted to be or not." (Author) "Monsters on the Sidewalk" is unique not only because it dramatizes a mother’s abandonment, a father’s oppression, and a stepmother’s brutality, but it also paints a picture of a grandparent’s love and what good parenting looks like. The reader is able to distinguish between the two. Readers can judge between the positive effects of humor and love, and the negative effects of demeaning words and violent actions upon the mind of a child. The book will also engender hope for survivors (victors) and show that the cycle of abuse can stop in their lives, sparing the next generation. The brighter light we shine on maltreatment, the greater chance we have to slow its growth. Child abuse? It’s everywhere.

Two hundred years ago, Christopher planted an enchanted rose which began Fairyland Old, in the age when fairies ruled the entire magical realm in harmony with the creatures of the woods and the monsters who dwelled there. That is, until the greed of the monsters drove the fairies to banish them, in which the lands were divided to become Fairyland and Monsterland. Now Kay and Rob, two adventurous friends, make their way into the forest and eat magical berries that whisk them away to the wondrous world. But, why are they there? What is the purpose? They soon uncover the deep secrets of the land hidden within the pages of two ancient books; the Book of Fairies and the Book of Monsters. Yet one book remains, the Lost Book, which fell away and was thought to be gone forever. But, who has the Lost Book? What awaits within it? Kay and Rob question this and more. What power does the precious Rainbow Crystal hold and even more importantly, who is the famed Christopher that the books foretell of? Answers are found through a journey of self discovery by the children and the simple act of believing in themselves and others leads them to the truth.

They Invade Your Body. . . Billions of pellet-sized spores have arrived. Swarming our cities, they find ways inside our bodies as they transform humans into hideous monsters, living only to feed on those closest to them--friends, parents, even children. . . And Do Not Leave. . . In New York City, Joe Burton leads a desperate clutch of survivors against the Invaders. But he discovers that it's not only the once-human creatures that have turned on their own kind: as the world descends into chaos, a winner-take-all struggle for survival begins. Until It's Too Late. . . As the living turn viciously against one other, the Invaders prepare for the next stage of their conquest--and it soon becomes clear to Burton that the horror he survived was just the beginning. . . "Gates writes with such all-stops out intensity that even Stephen King's faithful followers will begrudgingly admit the presence of a possible heir to the throne."--Publishers Weekly "Hail to the new King!"--The Journal Express
