About Chachkis and Chicken Wings: The Case of the Oakton Falls Burglar:

“When a string of break-ins rock the small town of Oakton Falls, Ohio, Police Chief Wyatt Ronson is at a loss for what to do. The perpetrator is crafty and the stolen goods are anything but normal. He has a list of missing items, most recently a miniature baby Jesus collectible stolen from a nativity scene. With robbery turned murder, Ronson is left with a dead body and another cold trail of clues. His loving wife, Maria, suggests that he bring in a friend of hers to consult on the case. The problem? This friend is another one of the paranormal practitioners his wife has been spending a small fortune on and Ronson isn’t convinced they aren’t all charlatans. Maria insists that this guy is the real deal and reluctantly, he agrees to hire Seymour Masterson, a thirty-something with a sweet tooth and an eye for finely tailored clothes. Ronson’s disbelief in the paranormal and Masterson’s own misgivings about small-town police work make the pair mix together like oil and water.

Armed with a dead man’s cane and an over-inflated ego from his time working in Los Angeles, Seymour sets off to find the killer and prove to the Chief that there is something to all of this medium business. That is, if Ronson will ever let him talk to a suspect alone. After several plates of vanilla wafers, legendary chicken wings, a collision with some lawn ornaments and a first date with Beatrice, the Chief’s secretary who he may or may not be marrying, Seymour is realizing that working for the OFPD is exhausting. He is surprised to find out that Ronson isn’t as dumb as he looks and Seymour might just need his help after all. Similarly, Ronson is beginning to see the benefits of having a big name medium working in his department. The two men bumble their way through their first case together and work to find a common ground. But can they put their differences aside to catch a murderer and solve the case of the Oakton Falls burglar?

Chachkis and Chicken Wings has everything a good cozy mystery needs — an elusive criminal, a quirky small town, and a splash of the supernatural. Follow Seymour Masterson and Chief Ronson through their investigation and fall in love with the quirky residents of Oakton Falls along the way. Grab a cup of tea and start reading today!”

Blood Land By R.S. Guthrie

About Blood Land By R.S. Guthrie:

Blood Land, the award-winning, must-read first book in series!

Crime’s an ugly constant in the big cities. L.A. Chicago. New York. But when a savage murder brutalizes a small town and neighbor turns on neighbor, a tough-as-nails cop is essential to restoring order. Blood Land is a gritty, emotional saga set in the contemporary Wyoming badlands with both greed and vengeance at its core.

When billions of dollars in 21st century natural gas rights hang in the balance, and the town’s top law officer’s wife is slain by her own brother, a reluctant hero is forced to battle his own demons and ultimately choose between justice, revenge, and duty.

An award-winning, page-turner, in the tradition of Dennis Lehane, Tony Hillerman and James Lee Burke, Guthrie’s sparse, haunting storytelling compliments his talent for creating richly-drawn, unflinching law officers with human frailties, a code of honor, and a profound sense of justice.

While juggling teaching English, his business, (and women), Nate seeks refuge at the bar on the roof of the Friendship Hotel with a legation of self-imposed exiles from the both sides of the Cold War.

THE SECRET: MYSTERIES OF OCCULT WORLD

About THE SECRET: MYSTERIES OF OCCULT WORLD:

Wealth, power and fame are some attributes that drive people into secret cults and metaphysical societies. For others, it is simply fear of being eliminated from the perilous environments of the physical world.
For a human being to be initiated in the womb is very rare in our society today. That was the fate of Mr. Martins Chukwudi Nwosu of Umuduru, Amandugba in Imo State, Nigeria. In the year 2000, he became an apprentice to a Charismatic Renewal brother at Nnewi, Anambra state, Nigeria. So, the testimonies you are about to read are neither archival document nor tales from the Incas of South America. These exposures are not from the monks of Tibet but from a handsome young Nigerian of 48 years of age.
Mr. Martins Nwosu’s testimonies when taken literally could be written off as a mix-up. One, however, needs to take cognizance of the fact that the entities that cornered him are “angels of light. “ when one, therefore, sees some divine attributes which are impossible to be exhibited by the devil and his ministering agents being attributed to them, one needs to appreciate that “ angels” of deception are at work. Otherwise, how come, for instance, that Lord Reharb of the third occult world of the air is referred to as the Merciful Father? It appears that Mr. Martin was meant to be a Satan made incarnate to lead the followers of Satan and the operators in kingdom of darkness to damnation (or salvation as they were deceived to believe).
As you digest these testimonies, note that the operators in the kingdoms of darkness undergo various levels of initiation to qualify for their operations at those levels. Likewise, Christian undergoes several of sacramental advancements and consecrations to operate at greater spiritual states of grace.
The knowledge of the name, demons and presiding influence of various demons and ruling spirits will help Christians focus directly on these name/areas and sharpen prayer points accordingly to easily pull down strongholds in the kingdom of Satan.

Your interactions with Charismatic
This book exposes:
(1) The various esoteric planes together with the lords and principalities of these planes.
(2) The various rank of the avatars and their demonic command capabilities.
(3) The hazardous world of spiritism and means of maneuvering safely through this world.
(4) The father of lies and deception, his posing as the one true God.

Screams of Late Spring: A Rebel Joe Story

About Screams of Late Spring: A Rebel Joe Story:

Two Counties has always been a bit peculiar. More unmarked graves are dug there than proper ones, they say. And families keep secrets too. I’d learn that the hard way.

Pop and I caught the early train to Mitchell, Indiana, that morning. I was excited to see my cousin Birdy and run around town all day. But after I had an encounter with a cutthroat on the train, and when I found out I had a brother named Ray, I figured things couldn’t get any more dangerous or strange.

Well, I was wrong about that. Before I could blink, I was off on a journey with Birdy and Ray, into the wilds of Two Counties, bound for Rebel Joe’s cave. I had no idea who Rebel Joe was or what was in his cave. I just hoped he wouldn’t be home when we got there.
