About the Author

I live in Utah with my wife. Canals was my first novel, but I've since written two more: Grant Starr thrillers. I'm working on my fourth, the third Grant Starr novel.

Editorial Reviews

Daniel Lawless is a bachelor detective who prefers shoes over people. What he once thought of as a gift to help him escape the constant torment of school bullies becomes a nightmare when he starts seeing visions of dead bodies, and the visions are real. Along with a local cop, the beautiful and young Sandra Jensen, they set out to try to stop the unstoppable monster from eating it's way through the population of Modesto, California.

Everett Powers, you have written a masterpiece!

Nook - D. Ryan Leaske

The monster in Canals was unique and different from others that have just been done to death (if I never read another vampire story again it will be a good thing)! I enjoyed the interaction between the two main lead characters as their relationship developed and changed. Personally I loved the obsession with shoes - of course I am also held in thrall by shoes, so that may just be my own addiction finding a soft place to land. I enjoyed Canals and it moved very quickly.

Amazon - J.W. Stephens

"Canals" starts off with an interesting and grabbing premise. A different sort of monster. But the story soon goes off on tangents that really catch one off-guard. By the time you have finished with this book, you will wonder where Powers ever got his ideas from? Is he trying to tell us something? Is he an...Advocate? An exciting and quite gory story that you just sit back and enjoy. "Canals" is well worth the read.

Amazon - Mr. Saltraker

Mr. Powers does a fine job blending elements of horror and science fiction in this fast-paced and often gruesome tale. The story reminded me of those good old monster movies that I loved as a boy, updated with plenty of splatter. Mr. Powers presents some nicely developed characters in a satisfying and fun little thriller that I would certainly recommend to anyone who enjoys the horror genre.
