Harry Starke: The Genesis Files (The Genesis Files Boxset Book 1)

July 8, 2021 By

Three riveting crime stories you’ll not be able to put down.

It all began one dark, rainy night in Genesis. Harry Starke had quit the police force only a couple of weeks earlier and was driving a lonely road when he encountered a young girl soaked to the skin and frightened. He picked her up, took her to safety, and turned her loose. Ten minutes later she was abducted. Starke vowed to find and so embarked on an investigation that would launch a new career.

In The Raven, no one could figure out exactly why Sandra McDowell had to die… except for the Raven, an aging Russian hitman twenty years on death row with only days left to live. Thus begins a mind-bending mystery thriller, a twister of a tale that will keep you up late into the night.

Finally, in The Assassin all Tommy Biscotti wanted was a few pills. What he got was a bullet in the back. Hammerhead, Tommy’s source, got two in the head. Jake Burke, Hammerhead’s sidekick, got his brains blown out. Pretty standard stuff for the low lives of the underworld… But what did it all have to do with Senator Andrew Hawke’s run for governor? Can Harry find out before Hawke is cut down by an unknown assassin? $0.99 on Kindle.

Sapphire Lake

July 7, 2021 By

“Micah Gray knows what it’s like to die.

For the past year, she’s grappled with her new, unexplainable gift: she can experience other people’s deaths. Any encounter with a dead body, even a picture of one, will send Micah into an all-encompassing hallucination, giving her a first-person perspective of the deceased’s last moments.

Luckily, she’s not alone. She’s found refuge in her childhood home of Sapphire Lake, living with her estranged grandmother that happens to have the same bizarre gift Micah does. With her grandmother’s guidance and wisdom, Micah is learning how to manage her life with her new power (and slowly accepting that she might not be completely crazy.)

But not all is peaceful in the small, lakeside town. A tourist’s body has washed ashore and only Micah knows that her death was not an accident. Someone, unidentifiable in the darkness of night, drowned her, and Micah, her grandmother, and Benjamin Root (Micah’s ex-boyfriend and the only cop in Sapphire Lake that might believe her), maybe the only ones to catch the murderer.” $8.99 on Kindle.

Lover Girl

July 6, 2021 By

Sammy, ‘Lover Boy’ Vivino, the retired legendary hitman, answers his doorbell to find a beautiful young woman at the threshold. Unfortunately, the silenced pistol aimed at his heart quickly dashes any hope for romance. For this woman is Angelica Fortuna, a conflicted, wisecracking assassin, nicknamed l’angelo della morte – The Angel of Death. Her father, Philadelphia’s Don Vito Fortuna, has sent her to New York with one simple order: kill Lover Boy!

Angelica, though, has her own agenda and soon joins Vivino in a desperate race to rescue a kidnapped young girl, while simultaneously falling in love with another man she barely knows. Because of Angelica’s paternal defiance, however, she and Sammy will soon face an additional, deadly obstacle to saving the child – another Fortuna assassin. And this sadistic killer has equally straightforward orders: kill Lover Boy, l’angelo della morte, and whoever stands in the way!

Lover Girl, #2 in the Lover Boy series, will appeal to those who enjoy strong, female protagonists and novels similar to those of Nelson DeMille and Carl Hiassen. It combines often hilarious dialogue, tender romance and nail-biting suspense while concurrently examining the true value of family and friendship – all climaxing in two, edge-of-your-seat battles for survival.

His crime was unforgivable, but the law protects him. If an alleged crime is reported to you, but no victim can be found, has a crime been committed?

A Friessen family celebration turns tragic when the marriage of one daughter is preceded by the heartbreaking loss of another.

“This story is one that will stick with me for quite awhile. It is raw, gritty and the stuff of nightmares for those who are parents or part of a close knit family like the Friessens.” Rebmay

Daddy’s Girl

June 26, 2021 By

When Leah Avondale, a sophomore soccer star, becomes more than a little upset with her father, Martin, and his broken promises and decides to take a trip to see her aunt, it starts a series of events that eventually lead up to her father being arrested for her disappearance and possible murder.

When Special Agent Jonathan Dearfield (JD) of the FBI is called to the case, he discovers a fact in the case that could change his life forever, and only after finding Leahs secret diary does he find the freedom and the needed details to pursue this case with a passion that comes from his very soul.

Along the way, JD and his team must discover if the rumors of Druid ceremonies involving missing girls in the forest near the Menominee Reservation are true. If they can figure out the riddle of the diary in time, they may be able to save these girls.

And whatever happened to Leah?

Deep in the pages of Daddy’s Girl, you will find a story of survival, courtroom drama, friendship and deceit. Further weaved into this saga are good & bad cops & priests, gullible teens, powerfully evil men, a deaf Native American named Silent Wolf, a killer bear and an albino princess . . . and you will find out whether Leah or just her diary survives.

The chapters in Daddy’s Girl are grouped into books with overlapping timelines to show different perspectives of the same events and, thus, different beliefs or truths of the evolving storyline, so the full picture is always a page away. It is when one only wants to believe one perspective or is taught to deny others that the truth suffers and then even the smallest interaction or event when all the facts are not considered can have dire consequences. $3.95 on Kindle.
