Hornsby & Halo

Ghost Machine //
Teen Peacemakers for Heaven & Hell

How do you keep the cosmic peace between Heaven and Hell all within the confines of a small town called Warwick in upstate New York?

Easy—If you’re a leader on each side of the opposing forces of angels and demons, you broker a deal that trades Zachary Halo, an angel child to a demon family, and Rose Hornsby, a demon child to an angel family and cross your fingers that an everlasting truce takes hold and the balance of power remains stable in a good ol’ mutually assured destruction kinda way!

It’s Nature versus Nurture, as the age old battle of Good and Evil is as simple as who speaks louder: the angel on Rose’s shoulder, or the demon on Halo’s shoulder as the turbulence of adolescence comes crashing down on two teenagers who have no idea just who, and what they truly are…yet.

Hornsby & Halo #4
"GIVE IT BACK." That’s all Zach and Rose keep hearing from the recently dead townsfolk who, thanks to an unholy blizzard called down by a rogue angel, have clawed out of their graves looking for precious items stolen from them by Zach's parents! And these zombies aren't gonna stop until their thirst for revenge is slaked! Can it get any crazier?! Yes. Yes it can, especially when Zach and Rose are forced to reveal their true Celestial and Infernal identities to each other…

Hornsby & Halo #3
A blizzard hits the town of Warwick…but it’s hardly a natural occurrence, as rogue agents of Heaven and Hell try to disrupt the tenuous peace between realms, using Rose Hornsby and Zack Halo as pawns. The storm’s “ethereal” qualities raise the dead from their graves to reclaim their personal valuables stolen by the Halo family before being buried. And Zach and Rose discover the hard way that “finders keepers” won’t deter angry zombies!
