According to the book description of James 516, "What happens when
those sworn to protect are attacked and need protection themselves? When a
high-ranking cop is gunned down by a sniper, Louisiana Sheriff Calvin Burke puts
London Carter and Bethany Riggs on the case. London and Bethany quickly uncover
information involving a sex triangle within the sheriffs office and they
subsequently arrest police sniper Kenneth Lewis for the killing.
When Kenneth commits suicide in police custody and another high-ranking cop is
killed two days later, however, London and Bethany realize the case is far from
closed. Things are further complicated when they locate a mysterious message at
two of the crime scenesthe words James 516. Immense pressure is put on London
and Bethany to solve the case. As they scramble to track down the killer, that
pressure turns to heat, and they find themselves falling for each other even as
they attempt to decipher the meaning of the message James 516 before the
murderer takes out the sheriffs entire staff."
According to the book description of Absent Soul, "Between the
covers of this collection of short mysteries, you'll find both, the living and
the dead, who are Absent the Soul. You'll see the murder victims after the souls
have been wrenched from their bodies. You'll step into the lives of the
realistic detectives and everyday citizens who are tasked with bringing the
killers to justice. You'll grow to love these characters and root for them as
they sift through lies, suspects, and clues in their quest for the truth.
Finally, you'll meet the killers themselves. You'll learn why they crossed over
to the dark side and committed the ultimate crime of violence. If you like
mystery and suspense, you'll like what you find in this collection and--after
reading it--you'll be happy that you are not Absent the Soul."
According to the book description of Alive Into Hell: A collection of
crime stories, "Lydia Becker wants to leave her INDOLENT husband, but
he's holding a secret over her head that makes it impossible to go; Rebecca
Simms goes camping in the mountains with her husband and all is well until a
BEAR starts nosing around, but the bear might not be their biggest problem;
Edward Brooks uses his BACKYARD for more than work, and he might just pay a
hefty price; A noise disturbs a man's sleep and something, or someone, really
gets his BLOOD pumping; Reggie KELLER and his wife take the full brunt of a
storm while out boating on the lake and they argue over their recent divorce
plans; Winston's discovery makes him lose his lunch, but that won't stop him
from trying to make a DEATH notification; Russell Allen doesn't like his son's
new video game, but Brock wants to get to the FINAL LEVEL regardless.
To
find out what happens to these folks, check out their stories and a dozen
others, which feature normal, everyday people thrust into impossible situations
that almost always calls for a murder, but are they justified? One thing is
certain...the right person does not always die. Ranging from flash pieces to
medium-range shorts, these stories can be gulped down with a morning cup of
coffee, an afternoon sandwich, or a midnight snack. If you decide to give them a
try, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them."

Anthology of Justified Endings to Bad Exes, "The nine engaging authors
of The EX Factor bring warmth to cold, bitter hearts, and maybe also to those of
us who have a twisted sense of what is truly fair in this world. With twenty-two
short stories combined into a single chilling volume, they take matters of the
unjustly treated heart into their own hands. Authors: Michy Anderson, B.J.
Bourg, Colin Conway, Katt Dunsmore, Patricia Harrington, Jill Maser, Sandra
Seamans, Earl Staggs, Frank Zafiro."
According to the book description of Seven By Seven, it is "an
anthology of forty-nine flash fiction stories, by seven talented authors, each
story revolving around one of the seven deadly sins. Seven stories by seven
authors, or Seven By Seven. Each story captures the author's unique take on that
particular sin, and sometimes its consequences. The stories are sometimes
horrifying, sometimes humorous, but always fascinating and engrossing."
