Book excerpt: This atmospheric debut mystery “is a Scottish delight that will keep you on your toes” with its riveting blend of real history, island legend, and unforgettable characters (Carlene O’Connor, USA Today–bestselling author of the Irish Village mysteries). On a remote island in Scotland, an American antiques dealer a brutal killing staged to recreate a centuries-old unsolved murder. Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high until an unexpected turn of events takes the floor. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie. Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the novel—and the only clue to the killer’s identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history—and Kate’s future.

Hopefully, like it did for Charlene, it will all turn out for the best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calling to YOU the Brethren! "That these Words thereof are from He who sent me; and all willingness be of thine My Most Holy". That day of December 25, 1983 forever changed our lives. Connie had received many visions of Christ as a young girl, but now as an adult something changed. A new Visitation unlike any of the previous encounters with God. The Vision was in the form of a Golden Book located in Heaven with small and minute in script and in delved upon Gold of the purest form. The writing was on Pearl of white paper. As I inquired to the Lord about the nature of the Book God revealed to us "Therefore this thy Book of True Revealing be restored yet unto Her which is to say "My Jerusalem". And also adhering to Gods command. "Neglect not the Work of Mine Hand that is upon ye; For that which I have spoken shall come to pass and at "this place that ye harbor" shall I release The Prophecy of Written Word....as that which was spoken of in Scripture as a "Overture" to come. And so now you have it to read, and Overture comes. It is written in Revelation 11.3: "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and three score days... These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of the prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them into blood, and smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will". These Testaments reveal great earthquakes, Wars, and The Plague of Ephods that threatens 25% of mankind with extinction! The Earth toppling on its axis, as a final judgment! We have no weapons, no guns, no poisons, no armies, to fight with to arrest those committing high crimes and treason against humanity. As moses was at the back of the mountain tending his ship and was summoned to Gods Holy Mountain and there was told he must go and free God's people from bondage with only a staff so we have found ourselves in similar circumstances... We have the Spirit of Prophecy, Gods secret weapons to set against those wishing to oppress Israel and God's people. The earth is deserving.

Book excerpt: After architectural student Douglas McKenzie encountered Constance Oakland that February of 1973, he was inspired to create a blueprint for a dreama dream to share. Connie possessed youthful exuberance and an irresistibly free spirit, an airy sorority girl floating in aimless ease. In Douglas she found an acceptance apart from being Armand Oakland's daughter or the proper product of a society mother, and she consented to share his dream. With determination and strength of purpose, Douglas pursed his plan to graduate with honors, establish his career, save the money to build his dream house, and marry Connie after she graduated. However, planning his life too rigidly caused underlying tensions. Diverse lifestyles, outside influences, astronomical costs, deception, temptation, a broken engagement, and a critical illness threatened to demolish the dream. A dream is a wonderful thing to share, but life cannot be built upon it, for it is only an illusion. Life must be built on the solid foundation of faith in God. Connie and Douglas eventually put their faith in Jesus, but what will it take for them to put their faith into action so they can share their dream in committed, wedded love?

Download or read book Ghost of the Ozarks written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1929, in a remote county of the Arkansas Ozarks, the gruesome murder of harmonica-playing drifter Connie Franklin and the brutal rape of his teenaged fiancée captured the attention of a nation on the cusp of the Great Depression. National press from coast to coast ran stories of the sensational exploits of night-riding moonshiners, powerful "Barons of the Hills," and a world of feudal oppression in the isolation of the rugged Ozarks. The ensuing arrest of five local men for both crimes and the confusion and superstition surrounding the trial and conviction gave Stone County a dubious and short-lived notoriety. Closely examining how the story and its regional setting were interpreted by the media, Brooks Blevins recounts the gripping events of the murder investigation and trial, where a man claiming to be the murder victim--the "Ghost" of the Ozarks--appeared to testify. Local conditions in Stone County, which had no electricity and only one long-distance telephone line, frustrated the dozen or more reporters who found their way to the rural Ozarks, and the developments following the arrests often prompted reporters' caricatures of the region: accusations of imposture and insanity, revelations of hidden pasts and assumed names, and threats of widespread violence. Locating the past squarely within the major currents of American history, Ghost of the Ozarks: Murder and Memory in the Upland South paints a convincing backdrop to a story that, more than 80 years later, remains riddled with mystery.
