Conjoined Angels

CONJOINED ANGELS is a body horror novel about small-town dread, wounds which don't heal, and a whirlwind romance with a tornadic trail of destruction. Jamie Fugate is a physician taught by his ex-army father. Amon Jessop is a veterinary radiologist too soft-hearted for Jamie's patience. To the behemoth which crash-lands in a wheat field between their towns during a storm, they're the only science for miles. The behemoth yields few answers. A communal tornado shelter barely contains its six wings, and an x-ray reveals that the tangle of its body contains not one human skeleton, but two. Wanting to see more of this strange romance than a picture on Amon's fluoroscope, Jamie fetches his father's bone saw. But locked away from the world in this tornado-shelter-turned-operating-theatre are more secrets than the vivisection of an angel. There's a reason Amon fled back to Oklahoma from the city he trained in. There's a reason Jamie's family never ask what he's doing with his knives. And when their thirst for knowledge turns into a thirst for each other, they'll have a far more dangerous monster on their table.
