Book excerpt: The second Midge Sumpter murder mystery! A university paleontology professor is found dead one morning in a partial trench dug into an ancient Indian midden in a remote North Florida woodland. He was not there the previous evening when the site workers checked the trench they'd dug, and no one present at the dig site heard anything that would indicate how the body was transported there. In fact, the dead professor was supposed to be at another site several hundred miles south near Sarasota. Not only has the professor mysteriously appeared in the trench, but his truck, the vehicle he used to work at any site he managed, has disappeared. Midge and her partner, Jake Leon, interview many people, including paleontology students who used to be Army Rangers, a local man who visits the mound to listen to spirits, the head of the department at the professor's university, an aspiring paleontology teacher at the local junior college who wants to enter the high-caliber world of university research, and a student with a dark past as an Army commander in Afghanistan. Midge and Jake follow a trail of mysterious and difficult clues, from tire tracks at a campsite in the woods, to cigarette butts stuck butt downward into the midden, to human bone fragments that aren't supposed to be in a trash midden left by paleo-Indians thousands of years ago, to a surprising and action-packed conclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequel to Tempest Rider Slate Morgan and Silver Black are married now and have moved to a farm near Sinking Spring Ohio. When they bought the land, they didn't realize that the farm next door to them was occupied by a group of pagans who had come to the area in order to be near Serpent Mound, which they believe is a vortex. The farm, called The Garden of Eden by its serpent worshipping inhabitants, is host to beliefs such as Wicca, Celtic, Atheist, and Native American; all grouped under a pagan banner. The farm is located in a longtime Christian Farming Community which has recently had an influx of Amish residents as well. It would seem they are heading for a culture clash. When Anne Baxter, the leader of the group is found murdered there are many suspects in this diverse community where she'd made many enemies and seemingly no friends. When suspicion falls on the Morgan family, on whose land the body is found, Silver feels she must help investigate in order to remove the cloud over her family's head. She sets out to learn all the local gossip so she can pass it on to the Sheriff who is investigating the murder. However, her snooping has riled up someone who has her in his/her sights, considering her a threat. This is a Who Dunnit set in a small community. With so many suspects you will be guessing who the culprit is until the last minute.
Download or read book The Horror from the Mound written by Robert E. Howard and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Robert E. Howard was originally published in the 1932 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Horror from the Mound' is one of Howard's stories in the weird west genre, a combination of a western and a horror or fantasy. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard - a bookish and somewhat introverted child - was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece - a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' - for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
