Book excerpt: ATTENTION "SHADOW CHASERS" FANS: This edition includes new never-before-published-photograph of Thomas G. Woolfolk.In the early morning hours of August 6, 1887 in rural Bibb County, Georgia, Captain Richard F. Woolfolk and eight members of his family died at the hands of an axe murderer. A single member of the household survived the attack. Tom woolfolk, the Captain's eldest son escaped the slaughter and sounded the alarm, only to be arrested for the crime. On October 29, 1890, after languishing in jell, chained to the wall of his cell for three years, enduring countless trials, he calmly climbed the steps to the gallows, proclaimed his innocence one last time and forgave those who were about to kill him.After extensive research, and in vivid detail, author Carolyn DeLoach has been able to capture the emotions of the period. Shadow Chasers is a factual account of one of the most horrendous crimes in the history of the state of Georgia, as told by the actual participants, in their own words. Ms. DeLoach guides the reader through the tangled web of tragic events and subtly presents haunting evidence that a serial mass murderer was protected by the political forces of the State, and an innocent man was sacrificed. The murderers of the Woolfolk family went on to kill others; including another. Shadow Chasers changed history by revealing who actually killed the Woolfolk family.

Download or read book The Dark Side of the Light Chasers written by Deborah Ford and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-11-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling, beloved classic on how to go into the dark side of yourself to bring out the light -- now with new material. Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion. We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad. So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go. It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don't fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world. She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps. We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings. When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing. But most important, we deny ourselves the power and freedom of living authentically. Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us. This is for fans of Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, and Deepak Chopra. The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives.

Book excerpt: Few people seek out the tiny Caribbean island of Dampier Cay—visitors usually wash up there by accident. But this weekend, three people are flying to the island, not for a tan or fun in the sun, but because they have reason to believe that they might encounter something there that most people take great measures to avoid—a hurricane. A lottery windfall and a few hours of selfishness have robbed Caldwell of all that was precious to him, while Beverly, haunted by tragedy and screwed by fate since birth, has given up on life. Also on the flight is Jimmy Newton, a professional storm chaser and videographer who will do anything for the perfect shot. Waiting for them at Dampier is the manager of the Water's Edge Hotel, Maywell Hope, a descendant of the pirates who sailed the Caribbean hundreds of hears ago. As their stories unfold, the tragic underpinnings of Beverly and Caldwell's lives are revealed, a storyline that builds just as the hurricane looms ever-closer on the horizon. Cinematic and harrowing, Paul Quarrington's Storm Chasers is a tale of love and loss—and finding redemption in the eye of a hurricane.
