There is no greater duty than family.

If your brother was murdered on a dark dirt road, would you wait for justice?

When teenager Jim McGinn is killed on a dark Maine road, the police want to call it an accident, but the facts don't add up. Jim is a middle child of twelve children to a widow in depression era Maine. When his older brothers and extended family begin an investigation of their own, they soon find themselves at odds with the most powerful family in the county.

Parker Moreland is the richest man in the county. Not only because he owns more land than everyone else, but because he is the biggest bootlegger in central Maine. In 1933, prohibition is coming to an end and the last thing he needs is an investigation to hamper his operations.

Mary McGinn lost her husband with a brood of twelve children from teenagers to infants. She and the oldest boys have done their best to keep the farm alive during the midst of the great depression. But now she has to do the unthinkable and bury a child. In her mind, she wants to turn the other cheek, but in her heart, she knows that will never happen.

The Red Road pits rich against poor in a search for justice, but beyond that, it tests the limits of conscience when ordinary people are forced into extraordinary situations. Only the power of family will bring justice for Jim in book one of the McGinn Family Saga.

Lying to Iris Raines is like throwing a boomerang—the truth always comes back hard.

PI Iris Raines doesn’t scare easy. Sardonic, relentless, and backed by her St. Bernard, Festus, she’s built a career digging the truth out of the dung heap of deception.

When sabotage strikes a popular San Antonio restaurant chain, owner Quinten Farragut hires Iris to find the culprit before his circus-themed dining empire collapses. But vandalism turns deadly when poisoned food kills a diner and sickens dozens more.

Iris’s search for the truth leads through a jungle of sabotage, corporate warfare, deadly cartel ties, and long-buried family secrets. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that someone isn’t merely trying to destroy Farragut’s business. There’s a motive buried in the past—and somebody is willing to kill to keep it there.

Following the trail forces Iris to unravel a tangled family history, where forensic genealogy exposes secrets that have remained hidden for decades. Meanwhile, her investigation leads into a web of cartel money and enemies with far more at stake than burgers and bottom lines.

And Farragut himself isn’t telling Iris everything she needs to know.

With the danger closing in and the lies piling up, Iris must separate betrayal from misdirection and uncover who is really behind the attacks before her client’s empire goes down in flames—and takes her with it.

Fast-paced, gritty, and packed with twists, Pants on Fire is a hard-edged Texas private investigator mystery for readers who like smart investigations, complex plots, sharp humor, and danger that keeps escalating until the final page.

But as the group attempts to traverse The Darkness, they’ll quickly learn that nightmarish creatures are not the only danger. Cultists who worship The Darkness’s horrors believe it is a necessary evil that should be upheld for the good of the world. At first, the cultists seem insane. Yet as each step forward reveals its secrets, the four are forced to confront a truth that clues within their pasts have long since entwined them in this gruesome conspiracy. So if any of them hope to survive, Alaric, Legato, Zoe, and Celena must accept that the very same things which brought them together could lead to their undoing.

Because what are they willing to sacrifice? And what will they leave behind? Every decision they make for the people they’ve come to love will determine who will make it out alive—lest they succumb to the shadows within themselves.

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

This book is on discount promotion on Amazon for $0.99 (regularly $3.99) 9/17/2026 - 9/25/2026!

VIBRATIONSHIP: A New Paradigm for Grief explores a question that many grieving people quietly carry: What if death changes the form of a relationship without ending the relationship itself? What if I can move forward with them rather than move on without them.

After the death of her partner, Cheryl A. Page began to question the traditional language of grief—closure, detachment, moving on—and to examine whether love might continue as an active relationship even when physical presence is gone. Drawing from personal experience, a background in clinical research, and years of exploring consciousness and cross-veil communication, she developed the concept of VIBRATIONSHIP: meaningful connectivity between two people on different vibrational octaves.

This book offers a compassionate alternative for readers who have sensed, dreamed of, spoken to, or felt the presence of someone they love after death. It explores continuing bonds, signs, synchronicities, intuitive experiences, grief, consciousness, and the possibility that relationship can continue in ways that do not depend upon the physical body.

Rather than asking readers to adopt a particular belief, VIBRATIONSHIP invites curiosity. What happens when we stop assuming that grief must culminate in letting go? What if healing can include an ongoing relationship with the person who died? And what if the strange, meaningful moments that often accompany bereavement deserve to be explored rather than dismissed?

Written for anyone navigating loss, spiritual awakening, or questions about life after death, VIBRATIONSHIP offers a new framework for understanding love across the boundary of physical death.

Different conditions. Same love. What if?

She came to Poland to serve God. She stayed to save lives. Now she must survive.

American missionary teacher Irena Simmons never expected heroism. She expected classrooms, hymns, and the quiet work of faith. But when Hitler's army invades Poland in September 1939, Irena finds herself at the center of a desperate, dangerous mission—one she cannot walk away from, no matter the cost.

Irena has already risked everything once—secretly smuggling endangered German children out of the Reich and sheltering them in her Polish church school until their parents can follow. Her tiny half-Jewish niece plays in the same halls. Her beloved sister, pregnant and gravely ill, cannot travel. And Irena—who vowed she would never love again after losing her fiancé—has built a life around sacrifice and duty.

Then Jonathan Huntwell arrives.

Her former classmate carries urgent orders: get Irena and the children out of Poland before it's too late. But Irena waits too long. She cannot bring herself to leave the helpless behind. And when the last chance for a safe departure slips away, she is thrust into a heart-pounding race across Nazi-occupied territory—responsible for lives that depend entirely on her courage, her faith, and the God she has always trusted to provide.

In Abounding Hope, you'll find:

✔ A courageous, deeply human heroine navigating impossible choices
✔ A tender slow-burn romance between two people shaped by loss and loyalty
✔ Authentic, historically rich detail from the early days of World War II in Poland
✔ A story of Christian faith lived out under pressure—honest, tested, and triumphant
✔ Heart-stopping suspense woven through every chapter
✔ The unbreakable love between sisters, and the fierce instinct to protect the innocent
