Dinosaur Lake III:Infestation

Kathryn Meyer Griffith

Language: English

Published: Dec 31, 2014

Description:

Chief Park Ranger Henry Shore has dealt with and fought real live dinosaurs at his beloved Crater Lake National Park for over six years. With the help of his rangers, a few brave FBI friends and army soldiers he’d been victorious over a prehistoric lake creature and years later some particularly fiendish, and clever, specimens of the flying variety. He and his newspaper publisher wife, Ann, thought their park was finally rid of the monsters and they could reclaim their tranquil life in a place they cherished. Not so. For suddenly across the park new and even more malevolent mutant species of dinosaur begin to appear and create havoc, attacking the park’s visitors and threatening its peace. And this time the primeval scourge isn’t confined to just their park. The creatures have moved into the nearby towns, across the western United States and up into Canada. They are so much more aggressive, smarter and hungrier than any that have come before and the infestation is spreading further and faster than Henry and Ann can even imagine. This time there’s no easy way to defeat the dinosaurs. There’s too many of them and they’re too devious. This time it’s full out war and the victor will someday claim Earth.

From the Author

I originally wrote the first of my Dinosaur Lake novels, Dinosaur Lake, over twenty-two years ago when I was still working full time as a graphic artist and still with Zebra Paperbacks (Kensington Publishers). Until then I'd been known as a horror writer (though over the last 43 years of my writing career I've also published murder mysteries, romantic time travel and suspense), so it was a little bit off the track for me as I consider it to be a thriller/adventure story with a dash of SF. I'd published four paperbacks with Zebra between 1990-1994, but when there was a change at Kensington and I lost my sweet editor, another editor took her place and he never liked anything else I wrote...so unceremoniously Dinosaur Lake, scheduled to be published in 1994 and all ready to go to the book shelves and with the awful title of 'Predator' and an awful cover, was dropped from their lists before it was even published. The new editor said, "No one wants to read about dinosaurs." And less than a year later Jurassic Park the book came out. Anyway, disgusted with the whole publishing thing (for a few years after that), I tucked the manuscript away in a drawer and many years later, 2012, resurrected it  when I decided to start self-publishing. So far it and its sequel Dinosaur Lake II: Dinosaurs Arising  have been the best-selling of all my twenty-two published novels. You see, I never stopped writing. Now here's the third book, Dinosaur Lake III:Infestation...where the dinosaur plague spreads to the whole United States and further.
I hope my readers like it as much as I liked writing it.

About the Author

I've been an artist and worked as a graphic designer in the corporate world and for newspapers for 23 years before I quit to write full time. But I'd already begun writing novels at 21, over 44 years ago now, and have had 22 (10 romantic horror, 2 horror novels, 2 romantic SF horror, 1 romantic suspense, 1 romantic time travel, 1 historical romance, 2 thrillers, and 3 murder mysteries) novels, 2 novellas and 12 short stories published from Zebra Books, Leisure Books, Avalon Books, The Wild Rose Press, Damnation Books/Eternal Press; I've self-published my last 7 novels with Amazon Kindle Direct and my Dinosaur Lake novels and Spookie Town Mysteries are my best-sellers.
I've been married to Russell for 36 years; have a son & 2 grandchildren and live in a small quaint town in Illinois. We have 1 cat, Sasha, and the 3 of us live happily in an old house in the heart of town. Though I've been an artist, and a folk singer in my youth with my brother Jim, writing has always been my greatest passion, my butterfly stage, and I'll probably write stories until the day I die...or until my memory goes.
