Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old adage says ¿A watched pot never boils¿, but I feel there are also times when ¿An unwatched pot always boils over¿. Such was the case in Carroll County, Virginia at the turn of the twentieth century. By 1900 the water was simmering between the mostly Democratic Allens and the Republican led court system. Cries of illegalities from the Allens against the court officials were met with claims of Allen bullying that led to unfulfilled jail sentences. Heat was turned up in 1911 when nephews of the Allens were involved in a fight that ordinarily would have been interpreted as ¿boys being boys¿. Instead numerous charges were brought against the nephews, while no charges were brought by the parties that initiated the skirmish. The water reached a boiling point when the nephews were extradited in a manner in which the Allens felt was improper. New charges of interfering with the duties of an officer then resulted in numerous charges against the Allen men themselves. Although the Allens, and the court officials, had been in hot water before, it took a March day in 1912 for the pot to boil over and become what will forever be known as ¿The Carroll County Shootout¿. This is the story of the aftermath of that shooting. Follow Jeremiah Haynes, a Richmond journalist, as he comes to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia to ¿find the truth,¿ a truth that no one wanted told.

Although she cannot remember much of her life before her adoption, nightmares, sightings and odd things have always happened to her. With a memory of a hallway taken by fire and a closed door at its end, Tempest unwittingly discovers that danger reaches close to home. Finding herself caught in the middle, she sees things that no one else can, giving her clues into a conflict among two worlds of the Species within our world, laced with faeries and demons, truth and deception. This leads her onto a crumbling road of physical and psychological pain, along with loss as relationships are tried and truths are discovered. When Tempest’s adoptive “perfect family” starts to act differently toward her, she decides to search for her birth father, bringing more than demons out of the shadows. The one thing Tempest never saw coming is an ugly secret straight into the heart of what should be her normal human life as she struggles to link her past with her present before it kills her.

Exiled from family and village, Elsbeth accepts Andreas’s offer to accompany him back to his home in Münster, Germany—a decision that plunges her into a world of unhinged prophets, sassy nuns, and a deranged charlatan king. A disillusioned former monk, Andreas is returning home to confront his past, but the city is on the brink of collapse. Crowds rave hysterically in the streets, churches are ransacked, convents and monasteries empty, sacred texts are burned, and polygamy is instituted as God’s law. To his surprise, Andreas finds that Ulrich Schlatter, a former nemesis, has also returned, seeking revenge on those who exiled him years ago. Stakes are raised for everyone when the Prince-Bishop of Westphalia calls mercenaries to besiege the city. The rebels, however, offer unexpected resistance, thwarting hopes for a quick victory. Finding refuge with one another and new friends in the ensuing struggle, Elsbeth and Andreas discover that love in the reign of a mad king is not impossible, but it does come with scars.
