It all began with footprints…

Tornado researcher Victoria Thomas discovers an impossible set of footprints in a muddy field near Memphis. They indicate that a man walked away unharmed after being engulfed by the full fury of a twister. A year later, Victoria finds an identical set of mysterious tracks in Kansas and she becomes obsessed with finding this odd wanderer. His existence challenges her very conception of reality and stimulates something deep within her imagination.

When she finally does find Ben Fulgar, Victoria can't believe her own eyes or his improbable story. She'll risk her life to prove to herself that the world operates according to rational rules. During their adventures on the prairie, their relationship intensifies into a love that will be challenged by the ultimate forces of nature.

Tornado Siren is the story of two outsiders drawn together by the simple beauty and deadly destruction lurking on the Great Plains.

   
 

Reviews and Accolades

"Natural disaster buffs will enjoy Gabridge's paranormal take on nature's destructive powers. Scenes of tornado researcher Victoria Thomas' cross-country trek with the supernatural storm chasers, Ben Fulgar and his dog Kimat, are among the best of the book, as she teaches an innocent mystic how to ride a bicycle and how to deal with an overzealous state trooper."
-Publishers Weekly

"This book is deftly written and one hopes it will garner much deserved attention."
-Curled Up With A Good Book

"A thrilling story about an extraordinary man and how love changes (his) views of the world around him and what he has to do to continue contributing to the balance of nature. Victoria.is willing to defy all her teachings to support the man she loves. This will take you on a journey into the strange and unknown and leave you wondering about what we really know about nature and how it works. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys a story that combines the paranormal with a whirlwind romance."
