The Lake Murray Murders

About The Lake Murray Murders

In 1990, the sleepy community of Lexington, South Carolina, was rocked by the brutal slaying of a man found floating in a small boat one morning in nearby Lake Murray. Police identified the man as Jonathon Blackwood from a middle-class family in Lexington. While the investigation unfolded, the community held its breath, waiting to see who could have done such a terrible deed. Sadly, after several months of investigating the trail went cold, and the perpetrator was never caught.
After the murder, rumors swirled throughout the county about a land deal gone bad and who could have been behind Jonathon’s killing. Everyone seemed to have their own opinion about who did it and why. Still, everyone agreed on one thing: someone in the affluential Harrington family had something to do with it.
Time moved on, and over the years, the Blackwood murder was all but forgotten … until it happened again. This time, the body of a young woman was found in an eerily similar way as Jonathon Blackwood’s body was found. This time, Lexington County detectives had a clue that would get them closer than ever to solving the case that has haunted the community for thirty-three years and, once and for all, put a name to … Erebus, a prolific international art thief who vanished after a string of thefts in the 1960s.

Artifice: Book Two of the Prison Ship Sheol Saga

About Artifice: Book Two of the Prison Ship Sheol Saga

“The Prison Ship Sheol Saga follows the adventures of Vahkis Greye, a newly graduated Systems Repair Technologist who finds himself trapped aboard a converted Megalith class supercarrier in the middle of a galactic war. Within his first hour onboard, the ship’s crew is KIA, its controlling AI malfunctions and then self-deletes, and the ship itself is rammed by the dying flagship of the enemy fleet that attacked it. Things only go downhill from there.

Of the original one hundred thousand or so souls aboard, only a tenth remain after the battle and unfortunately for Greye, none of them are particularly inclined to help him out. Quite the opposite, in fact. In a universe where the human race had violently splintered along gender lines more than a century passed, the Sheol had been decommissioned and converted into a prison ship that was meant to be the final involuntary residence and resting place for every single one of the most dangerous female criminals within the 10,000+ star systems of the Bedlam Galaxy.

Surrounded by violent gangs of murderous inmates, demonized and hounded by both sides of a brutal war of extinction across the stars and planets of Bedlam, and welcomed pretty much nowhere within the galactic spiral, Greye will have to call on all of his experiences growing up and surviving in the far-star space stations, outer-system asteroid mines, and deep space hauler lanes of the galactic rim, as well as his newly acquired SRT tools and skill sets in order to find a way to survive and perhaps even thrive as the universe’s most wanted man. While he may or may not be up to tackling such a gargantuan task, he is very certain about one thing.

He absolutely cannot do it alone.

In addition to bawdy action-filled adventures and criminal hijinks, this series contains depictions of strange, alien morality and cultural norms, as well as relationships that could be considered non-traditional… for humans. Consider yourself either fore-warned or fore-tempted. Just don’t whack me with a bad review because you thought this was going to be a YA novel.”

About Murder Above the Fold: A Cozy Witch Mystery (The Mag and Clara Balefire Mysteries Book 1)

When sister witches Mag and Clara Balefire moved to the sleepy town of Harmony, Maine, to take over leadership of the coven there, they thought they’d have achance at a new life. Fate had other plans. The Balefires hardly have time to get unpacked when they stumble over a dead body.

Between solving two murders and keeping a mischievous, elderly witch with power to spare from wreaking havoc, moving to a small town isn’t quite what the Balefire sisters bargained for.

Gritty Friendships: Bringing Purpose and Value to Male Relationships by Dr. Carlyle Snider Naylor

Gritty Friendships: Bringing Purpose and Value to Male Relationships by Dr. Carlyle Snider Naylor

Fed up with surface-level friendships that make you feel disconnected from the full human experience? Then it’s time to get gritty!
Life is busy, and as a man, you’ve been conditioned to keep yourself guarded, standing strong and keeping your thoughts and feelings inside you.

There’s greatness in that strength, but do you ever feel like you’re missing out?

You have no shortage of male friendships, but some of them feel like they rarely go beyond the surface, and there are too many old friends who have drifted away over the years.

Perhaps you watch your wife with her friends and marvel at how deep their conversations go… You feel the same way as they do sometimes, but no one’s ever asked you about it.

Male loneliness is an often overlooked issue in today’s society. Research has found that men report having fewer close friends than their counterparts 30 years ago.

Between career pressures, family life, and the societal expectations that have made it hard for them to open up, many men are struggling… and if you feel like you’re part of that group, you’re definitely not alone.

As humans, we’re wired for connection – men and women alike – and this idea that men are somehow removed from that does nothing to ensure you get what you need.

So what can you do? How can you reach out and secure the bonds that are important to you?

There are a few key issues you’ll need to look at to feel comfortable making the deep and meaningful connections you long for – and this unique guide to unearthing the gritty male friendships you already have in front of you will steer you through them all.

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt

Shapeshifting is impossible.
It’s not my only secret.
About to embark on a two-week journey to a far-off planet to become an exchange student at an alien university. I’m honored and thrilled to be chosen for this first-of-a-kind adventure.. But seconds before departing, Mom tasks me with uncovering the truth of how my brother, Devon, died on the same starship many years before.

I’m not a detective and Mom knows it so she must be desperate. I have very little to go on except an illegal copy of Mom’s memories that she pressed into my hand at the last second. How she expects me to find the answer all these years later baffles me, but, hey, it’s Mom so I’ll try in spite of the danger to myself.

Early in my journey with four other human students, I find out the hard way that I am a shapeshifter. This is huge because there are no others like me. At all. I don’t know why or how but I know it’s real. Is this new ability somehow connected to my brother’s death?

My sentient, telepathic hair and shapeshifting abilities are definitely assets during my investigation—as long as I can keep them hidden from everyone else, human and Imurian. But, when I uncover a deadly conspiracy, I need help—but who among my classmates and the Imurians can I trust?

With only two weeks onboard for this journey and very few clues, can I solve Devon’s mysterious death? An even bigger question is how do I keep my strange abilities secret and can I survive their discovery?

If you’re looking for your next incredible new syfy read, check out The Amorphan Effect. Featuring an unsettling mystery, a shapeshifter in space, and an evil plot, this YA coming of age story has you covered. It even has a cat-like alien race that controls space travel.
