The Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes Trilogy

November 20, 2025 By

The Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes by David J. Mason is a historical documentary novel trilogy inspired by the true story of Mason’s great-grandfather, Parson Sykes. The trilogy traces Parson’s journey from enslavement in Southampton County, Virginia, through his escape and service in the Union Army during the Civil War, to his efforts to build a new life during Reconstruction.

Parson Sykes’s story is one of extraordinary courage, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Born into bondage on a Virginia farm haunted by the legacy of Nat Turner’s rebellion, Parson endures the daily hardships of enslavement alongside his family. Yet, even in the shadow of oppression, Parson’s spirit remains unbroken. His exposure to new ideas while working on the railroad and his growing awareness of the abolitionist movement ignite a powerful yearning for self-determination.

As the Civil War rages and the grip of slavery tightens, Parson refuses to accept the limits imposed on him. He and his brothers engage in subtle acts of resistance, preserving their dignity and hope in the face of adversity. Parson’s journey is fueled by the conviction that liberation is not simply a matter of escape, but a profound act of reclaiming one’s humanity and agency.

Armed with scraps of information and an unyielding will, Parson orchestrates a daring escape to Union territory. The perilous journey, fraught with danger and uncertainty, is a testament to his ingenuity and resolve. Crossing into freedom, Parson enlists in the United States Colored Troops, joining the historic XXV Corps—the first all-Black corps to enter the fallen Confederate capital of Richmond. Through vivid vignettes, Mason honors the collective bravery of Black soldiers who fought not only for the Union but also for the promise of equality and justice.

Victory in war, however, is only the beginning. Returning to Southampton County, Parson confronts the harsh realities of Reconstruction: broken promises, persistent racial violence, and the struggle for true emancipation. Frustrated by the slow progress and systemic barriers, Parson becomes a fierce advocate for education, land ownership, and civil rights. His resilience is tested as he navigates the turbulent passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, confronting both hope and backlash.

Through mentorship, advocacy, and unwavering perseverance, Parson secures his right to vote, acquires land, and establishes himself as a leader in his community. His journey reveals that self-liberation is not a single act, but a lifelong commitment to justice and equality. Parson’s story is a powerful reminder that the fight for freedom is ongoing, demanding courage, resilience, and the refusal to yield to despair.

Drawing from family chronicles and official records, The Self-Liberation of Parson Sykes offers an intimate portrait of one man’s quest for autonomy and dignity. Mason’s trilogy illuminates the broader struggles and triumphs of African Americans during one of the most transformative periods in American history, celebrating the enduring power of self-liberation and the human spirit.

Treasures in Time

November 20, 2025 By

A dual-timeline historical mystery in the BookFest Gold Medal Award–Winning IN TIME series for Best Fiction.
Set during the time of Revolutionary War privateers and in the present day on the Maryland Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
This is the 6th novel in a haunting dual-timeline mystery at Waterwood Plantation that intertwines past and present.

As Emma Chase discovers an old family Bible, finds a curious clue on the family tree, and follows a trail left by Revolutionary War pirates, secret rum recipes, and a buried treasure chest, while she prepares for her wedding to the man descended from the very legends she is chasing.
When most people think of pirates, they imagine the Caribbean. But during the Revolutionary War, pirates — or rather, privateers — sailed against British ships right here on the Chesapeake Bay, their raids sanctioned by the fledgling U.S. government. These men became America’s first unofficial navy, attacking supply ships for arms, food… and RUM.

Treasures in Time draws on these little-known histories, weaving fact and fiction into a rich story of those who prowled the Bay and hid in its creeks. It’s a tale that connects to the present-day distillery in St. Michaels, a town that’s always had a taste for rum — and secrets.
This is the 7th novel in the award-winning IN TIME series that begins when Emma Chase, a modern-day kindergarten teacher, moves into The Cottage in the historic village of St. Michaels, Maryland. She discovers a love letter bearing her name and signed Daniel — dated 1862.

This is where historical fiction, mystery, and a dash of romance cross timelines and generations.
$2.99 on Kindle.

Mortal Vengeance

November 20, 2025 By

Excelsior Academy produces perfect transcripts, perfect reputations, perfect citizens—or, at the very least, students who can fake perfection under pressure. But the cracks are there, right under the surface, waiting for the right moment to split open.

That moment arrives the day a group of friends finally snaps under the weight of a teacher’s cruelty. Their revenge prank feels clever, righteous even—until it detonates in their hands. From then on, nothing inside the group feels safe. Conversations grow stiff, trust thins like paper, and every lingering glance carries the question no one wants to ask: Who’s going to fold first?

Alex tries to keep his cool, but jealousy turns him inside-out. Melissa is hurting in ways he doesn’t know how to fix, and someone else is getting the version of her he always wanted to be worthy of. His emotions blur into something sharp, and that sharpness becomes its own kind of danger.

Meanwhile, the students start reviving the folklore of the Grim Cojuelo, not as a literal beast, but as a story that explains the dread in the air. Blame the Cojuelo for the guilt. Blame the Cojuelo for the paranoia. Blame the Cojuelo because it’s easier than facing the mirror.

The school’s response makes everything worse. Adults tighten surveillance. Administrators demand answers. The walls close in. And the kids learn, in real time, that Excelsior doesn’t nurture its students—it preserves its image.

As pressure builds, emotions warp. Friendships buckle. Teenagers make decisions that would terrify their future selves. And the truth—whatever version each student is clinging to—becomes the most dangerous thing any of them carry.

Mortal Vengeance is a slow-burn Dominican thriller about guilt, envy, trauma, and the way a single choice can unravel the lives of kids who were never given room to be kids in the first place. The darkness isn’t supernatural—it’s human.

And it doesn’t blink. $2.99 on Kindle.
