A Celtic myth and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" collide in The Sanheim Chronicles, a trilogy that combines urban fantasy, mystery, and suspense.

In Book One, A Soul to Steal, two reporters rush to stop a serial killer before a promised bloodbath on Halloween night. But to unmask and defeat the murderer, they may unleash a far darker threat--and pay an unimaginable price.

A Soul to Steal has been featured on USA Today and praised by book bloggers and readers alike as an addictive page-turner with an ending that will blow you away.

Reviewers have raved about the sequel, Band of Demons, for "plot twists that will leave you gasping for air... Band of Demons is the journey of a lifetime."

The final book in the trilogy, Give the Devil His Due, was published on Oct. 1, 2013.

"With the combination of an ancient Celtic myth and the legend of the Headless Horseman, Blackwell's story is a leave-the-light-on kind of page turner... If you like suspenseful thrillers, check out A Soul to Steal."

"If you love Halloween, this is the book for you!  This book offers mystery, thriller, romance, and the paranormal."

"I love fall and all things Halloween, so this was the perfect story to start the season. Blackwell does Halloween legends justice in his debut novel. The story is multi-layered, using Halloween legends mixed with a good old twisted psychopathic thriller."
