But then I came to the last photograph and I stared at it quite some time trying to fathom its significance. It was a photo of John DeLoreon, and Earl had scrawled the words August 1928 on the bottom. As I stared at the photo of John it occurred to me that Joseph was the spitting image of his father. But what made my hair stand on end was the fact that John also was severely disfigured with facial scars. .... What possible custom or ritual would cause both father and son to suffered such wounds? Could this be some sort of self-inflicted rite of passage for some secret sect or society?

About the Author
Robin McKay's career and interests have always revolved around science and physics. He loves science fiction and mystery novels that take scientific fact and mix it with fiction such that the blend between fact and fiction is so subtle that it leaves the reader wondering what is real and what is not. Robin is not a fan of pure fantasy that defies all the laws of physics and therefore he prefers science fiction and mystery that instead can be believeable by both those with scientific backgrounds and those without.
His inspiration comes from books and movies such as the National Treasure series that combine history with folklore or legend to produce a plot that leaves you wondering where historical facts ends and fiction begins.
Robin writes in the hope to inspire imagination in the lives of his children and grandchildren. He believe that life is boring if you do not add "what-if" to the "what-is" in your life.
