As the sun sets and the full moon rises, all hell breaks loose. Everyone has to fight to save their lives during a night of murder and uncontrollable slaughter in Hidden Valley.

Your thirst for werewolves will be quenched when you get your personally autographed book, which has been described as ‘addictive as crack cocaine.’ When the book was shown at the July Comic Con International Convention in San Diego, CA, fans, contributors, reviewers, and investors who love horror, thriller, and mystery featuring love, lust, blood, and werewolves were amazed by the unusual story line. The book continues to receive rave reviews.

"One of the most entertaining books that I have read in this genre. It is a coming-of-age story filled with laughter and tears, violent and brutal murders, unbridled sex, and of course, werewolves,” commented  John Carl Beuchler (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0119106/?ref_=tt_ov_dr), Director of the planned movie.  Beuchler signed on for the direction of the movie Hidden Valley after reading just a few pages of the screenplay and the book adaption, which he described as “…so right from a cinematic stand point…viscerally and dynamically to the page as it would play on the screen. Beuchler is most noted for his Direction on Paramount Pictures’ Friday the 13 Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and his design as Director of Special Effects for Troll (1986). Beuchler’s work in cinematic monster-making is legendary and some of his creative monster work was featured in a special theatrical show at the Official Hollywood Hidden Valley Book Release Party on August 20th, where all eyes in Hollywood, and over 400 of the best and brightest were on hand under a full moon when Woodward and Beuchler threw a mind-blowing party to go along with the release of the dark mystery thriller book.

Woodward, an accomplished director, producer, screenwriter, and actor with a PhD in Naturopathy with specialization in Forensic Profiling, and a man who singlehandedly raised five children, brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, talent, and intrigue into a storyline that fascinates both young and mature adults as it delves into the mystery of a small town and its secrets.
