  Murder Amongst Shadows is a tragic story that projects sadness, terror, and injustice. Bison is a small town with 350 people, that was situated near a grand river in the South Dakota Plains. The people of Bison had constant faceoffs with death and terror. Families frequently lose their loved ones. It became a norm in the town. People get killed, young girls go missing daily, and no one dares to ask questions to request justice for fear of becoming the next target. Detective Eddie, a daring, smart, and diligent man was the people's source of hope. He was good at his job and has a criminal instinct that enabled him to spot the bad guys easily. Eddie worked on restoring peace to South Dakota and brought justice to the families whose daughters were kidnapped. Rachael on the other hand, was the heart of the people. She brought light into the community. She is a rich, vibrant, and brave young lady who made sure everyone in Bison tapped from her blessings. Rachael and her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Lawson were good people who went all out for their community. Unfortunately, Rachael's good deeds didn't prevent them from the cold hands of death.

She was caught up in an evil nest and was brutally murdered by her supposed husband, Albert. Day suddenly turned night, fear crept in, tears-soaked clothes, and confusion filled the air, …it was indeed a great loss! The perpetrators of the evil act were in no time caught and faced the law. The family of the deceased sought fortitude and strength to be able to bear the loss of their daughter.

  Marlin Stains is a lonely man who is filled with words. Words that he longs to share with the world but so far only shares with himself. He has over 300 notebooks brimming with them in his trailer room. A wood-paneled tomb of prose and syllable. Marlin Stains killed his brother in the womb, buried his father when he was a young man and now, a bit older, he watches the same monster devour his mother. While grappling with this, he experiences a combination of exchanges and events that point him on a new trajectory with an outcome that is both expected and anything but. Marlin Stains has learned plenty in his thirty-two years: Love never dies, it just hides for a while and gets punchy. Death is never afraid and never gives a damn. Life is a thing that stretches, sometimes so far that you forget about it until it snaps back and hurts you. A snarl is an angry sound or a tangled trap, Marlin is familiar with both.

  The Girl in the Yellow Bikini

  I've always thought of myself as a fan more than a writer. Never in a million years did I imagine that I'd ever get my fiction published, let alone have all of my books become New York Times bestsellers. It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I published my first short story, The Girl in the Yellow Bikini. It was released in 1974 in Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine. In mid-2002, it was re-printed as a booklet and shrink-wrapped to the French edition of Elle fashion magazine. I hope both new and old fans will enjoy it!

  The Fairy Tale of Fr Brown - A...

  Despite his prosaic appearance and generally practical walk of life, Father Brown was not without a certain streak of romance in his composition, though he generally kept his daydreams to himself, as many children do. Amid the brisk, bright colours of such a day, and in the heraldic framework of such a town, he did feel rather as if he had entered a fairy tale. He took a childish pleasure, as a younger brother might, in the formidable sword-stick which Flambeau always flung as he walked, and which now stood upright beside his tall mug of Munich. Nay, in his sleepy irresponsibility, he even found himself eyeing the knobbed and clumsy head of his own shabby umbrella, with some faint memories of the ogre's club in a coloured toy-book. But he never composed anything in the form of fiction, unless it be the tale that follows:

  A marriage of convenience forces a powerful duke to choose between his ferocious pride and love that melts his icy heart. 
  Reputation is everything in the ton. And no one's is more pristine than Constantine Buccleigh, Duke of Pryde's. But when a blackmailer threatens to expose his devastating secret and have him lose everything, he’s forced to marry Miss Modesty Fairchild, a woman far below his station. 
  A budding archeologist, Modesty would rather dig in the dirt than host a gala. But a deathbed promise has left her the guardian of an orphaned baby. She’ll do anything to protect her little ward…even marry the heartless duke who made the most offensive proposal in the history of womenkind. 
  Lonely in Pryde’s elegant Mayfair home, she despises the cold, unyielding duke who expects her to become his perfect duchess. She loathes his arrogance. He resents her defiance. But as dance lessons and etiquette tutorials force them together, Modesty refuses to shrink beneath his iron control. And with every act of rebellion, she shatters his carefully crafted armor, revealing the lonely, broken man beneath. 
  Glimpsing the tender heart beneath her husband’s haughty exterior, Modesty dreams of a loving future. 
  But a villain in the shadows plots Pryde’s downfall. And as the Seven Dukes of Sin hunt for clues, the blackmailer raises the stakes. 
  Faced with a dreadful choice, will Constantine sacrifice his pride and his title for the wife and child he has come to treasure? 
  Read by the award-winning narrator, Audie finalist, and Earphones for excellence in narration winner, Shane East, and Justine Eyre, a classically trained actor and narrator has been honored to receive a coveted Audie Award and multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards.
