Stone Blood

(Published as R.M. Green in 2014 by Big Buddy Publishing, ISBN 978-1-941877-01-2)

Tilman Burbeck’s first memory is a doctor telling him his blood is made of stones. So begins the life of an artist, complete with art that comes to life, a book that predicts the future and a demonic Muse. At least, that’s how Tilman remembers it. The one thing he remembers most, however, is Lila Thornton. He can call up every detail of their time together, even half a century later when most memories are a blur. Tilman realizes that something doesn’t add up. But if the details he recalls aren’t real, why did he paint this meticulous past? More importantly, what will he do when he uncovers the secret he worked so hard to conceal?
