The Fifth Root Race. Edgar Cayce did say that the fifth root race would begin in 1998, and that the children born after that date would demonstrate the skills of the people of Atlantis.

Coming Soon From R.D. Brady*
Runs Deep (June 2015)
Ten years ago, Simone Granger was killed in the sleepy little town of Millners Kill. Steve Kane, then sixteen, was quickly arrested and convicted. But Steve knows he's innocent. Someone else took the life of his best friend's sister.
Now Steve is on parole. And he is forced to return to the town that hates him. Steve would rather be anywhere than Millners Kill. On parole, though, he doesn't have a lot of options. But at least in his hometown, he's got his Grandmother, his brother, and State Police Investigator Declan Reed on his side. And Steve intends on making no waves as he returns home. He just wants to get his life back.
But someone else has different plans.
As the storm of the century hits, the bodies begin to pile up. And Steve is the only suspect. A town is losing its grip and all their rage seems focused on one man.
Steve knows he's an innocent man. But will anyone give him a chance to prove it?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Belial Origins was a labor of love. So first off, I have to thank all the readers who encouraged, pushed, and occasionally kicked me toward the finish line. I know you love these characters as much as I do. Thank you for staying with me on this journey.
Thank you to my family who is usually understanding when I close the office door and hide myself away. I’m grateful to you not only for your understanding, but also for dragging me back into the world and not letting me always disappear into my books. I love writing, but I love you all more.
Thank you to my parents for encouraging me to read and to learn. I started early with the why questions and have never really stopped asking them. Thank you for encouraging them.
Thank you to David Gatewood for all your incredible help. I am very lucky to have found you.
Thank you to Damonza for the incredible cover work. We went through a lot of revisions getting the cover right this time, and I thank you for all your patience.
And the to staff at my hamburger joint, thank you for letting me sit for hours in my little booth and not giving me evil looks. Instead you give me smiles and constantly refill my drink. You keep me on point even when I would much rather give myself the day off.
I’d also like to thank my group of beta readers, who helped make this version of The Belial Origins a much better copy. Thank you for reading. And thank you for all your work.
Thank you for reading and making a dream I didn’t know I had come true. When I was younger, I never considered being a writer—not once. Oh, I would constantly make up stories in my head, but I grew up in a house where you knew that when you grew up you needed a real job—one that paid you regularly and on time. Writing never figured into that equation. But then, one day a few years back, I started writing some of those stories in my head—and now I can’t seem to stop! I love this job, and I thank you for allowing me to do it. I cannot imagine doing anything else. So thank you, thank you!
