Blood on the Blue Ridge: Historic True Crimes in Appalachia 1808-2004

About Blood on the Blue Ridge: Historic True Crimes in Appalachia 1808-2004

From an innocent man sent to the gallows in 1808 to the execution of a deadly and random killer in 2004, this book covers moonshine, murder, and mayhem in the Blue Ridge region of the Appalachian Highlands. Discover the story of Nancy Franklin, a Civil War heroine who, despite multiple tragedies, including the Shelton Laurel massacre, remained defiant. Explore the stories of moonshine outlaws who would rather shoot it out than surrender, including the legendary Lewis Redmond, Moonshine King of the Carolinas. Learn about manhunts filled with racial tensions, murders, and shootouts as we examine the hunt for and killing of Will Harris and Broadus Miller.

Ride along with an interstate band of train robbers whose resourcefulness and daring rivaled or surpassed the outlaws of the old west. Delve into the audacious theft of rare books from the Biltmore Estate, a mystery uncovered while filming a comedic mystery film. All this and a murderous hermit, a murder trial that went off the rails, a fugitive who returned for trial 30 years after the crime, a life in liquor and blood, the last hanging in Madison County, a tale of clandestine railroad travel and brutal murder, a robbery where the money itself gave the bandits away, and the dangerous lure of freighthopping.

ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

About ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

Rosco McGlashan is a legend of Australian drag racing and a land speed legend. His early years were tough. He spent time in state-run homes and remand centres, eventually leaving home and school at 12. He then drives up north in Western Australia to find work, increasing his age from 12 to 16, to fund his racing career.

He fought everyone and everything and, at 17, ended up in prison and even solitary confinement. Once released, his salvation comes through his love of speed and raw horsepower. He focuses his fighting spirit and energy on racing and going very fast.

His V8 drag bike and jet dragsters take him from Perth and WA all over Australia, New Zealand and the USA. He meets some incredible people, leading to some amazing adventures and tales that will leave you speechless.

Later, his motorsport career and quest for speed took him to other countries. He gets kidnapped by the Russian Mafia when trying to buy two MIG jet fighter engines and fights his way out. He crashes a car at nearly 600 mph. He also clinically dies on an operating table when another car he was racing went off a mountain road in driving rain. He was revived and went on to break many motor racing and land speed records.

He meets mass murderers and world leaders, then casually chats with the Dalai Lama. Eventually, Rosco turned his attention to capturing the Australian and world land speed records, a goal he set himself at age 12. In 1994 he beat Donald Campbell’s Australian land speed record.

Rosco and the Aussie Invader team are putting the finishing touches to their latest record-breaker, the world’s fastest and most powerful car, Aussie Invader 5R. This car has 200,000 horsepower, the equivalent of 200 Formula One cars! It can accelerate from 0 – 1000 mph in just 22 seconds. You won’t be able to put “ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth” down. This book is an inspiring, moving and motivational story. Quitting is not in this man’s vocabulary.

Operation: Protected Angel by Margaret Kay

Operation: Protected Angel by Margaret Kay

Angel Matthew’s day started like any other…until she ran into the armed man in the hallway at work. What came next was a blur, a hostage ordeal, a terrorist attack, explosions and gunfire, a fight for her life. Then she wakes with a head injury and finds herself in the custody of a group of armed men, who won’t disclose exactly who they are. One of them, the attractive and attentive Jackson is kind and Angel finds herself trusting him, falling for him.

Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don’t apply–just the oath they took. They don’t exist. That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary. Sometimes it’s not clear, though, is the person in their custody a witness or the perpetrator, a friendly or a foe, innocent or guilty as sin? Angel Matthews fits into this category–where exactly needs to be determined.

In a heart-pounding race against time, they must decipher hidden messages, confront dangerous foes, and unravel the intricate web of deception that The Circle has spun. Each revelation brings them closer to the horrifying truth and to a climactic confrontation that threatens to consume them all.
