The Bodie Legacy
by William Kercher
William Kercher grew up in Dayton, Ohio. After four years as a medic in the Air Force, he went to college to get his Masters of Science in geology from Wright State University, in Dayton. His degree led him to Houston and the oil industry. While doing oil exploration, he began writing fiction as a hobby. Although he likes mysteries, his heart is in science fiction. The science fiction he likes to read and write tends to be hard-science-based fiction.
In addition to The Bodie Legacy, he wrote Wildcat, an action/mystery novel that takes place in the Houston oil industry. While he uses the locations he knew in Houston, he admits that the murder and intrigue in Wildcat was not from his life. In fact, his oil exploration, while successful, was rather dull in comparison. He has also written Winter Trial, a science fiction/action thriller, as well as a collection of short stories.
In the area of non-fiction, he wrote Coping: How I am Living with Type 2 Diabetes. This details how his life changed after his diagnosis of diabetes. In his book, he shares the information he's learned about diabetes and how that information is making his life better.

THE BODIE LEGACY
A genetic misfire, an aberrant gene split at conception. Whatever kind of biological accident occurred, Mordecal Adams's genetic blueprint produces a monster, a killer with the psychic ability to feel and enjoy people's suffering. This capacity leads to his addiction to the narcotic of human pain.
From the small town of Bodie, an abandoned relic of the 1900's oil boom, located near Houston, Adams preys on society's weakest. He uses his power to torture innocent victims for no reason other than to satisfy his need for human suffering.
Even after death, Mordecal continues his assault on humanity. In dreams and nightmares, he reaches out from beyond the grave. For his fix of souls to bring to his region of Hell, Mordecal seeks out Monica Evans in Oklahoma and Nick Thomas in Oregon.
Thrown together by shared nightmares, Monica and Nick learn that to save themselves from Mordecal, they need to combine their strength. They must destroy him before he can destroy them. Their quest for knowledge takes them to the Indian Nations in Southeastern Oklahoma. A Cherokee Medicine Man teaches them about Native American spiritualism and how to enter the world of the dead.
