Book excerpt: In the small town of Tameworth, there are some very strange goings on when a sinkhole suddenly makes an entire lake disappear within minutes, taking with it two unsuspecting participants in a game of life and death. The story of the mines that riddle the landscape began 100 years earlier. When the Tin mine was closed, unbeknown to the company that decommissioned the mine the vents were never capped over properly, but also unknowingly, the horror that lay beneath the town of Tameworth was thought to have been sealed over and forgotten forever. When thirty miners died in horrific circumstances, the link between the strange object that was found deep in the mine was to blame, and soon the mine was labelled as cursed. Strange events surround the mine and once it was closed the locals soon wanted to forget the sexual deviancy and horrors it had brought to the town. 50 years on, and the lake that had formed over one of the mines air vents suddenly disappears one night and for those next two weeks the people still alive from the past soon began to wish they had never heard of the mine, but this time, they had been lucky and after two weeks, the lake refilled, and all seemed quiet once more. Again, the story abated into a sordid secret never to be told and as the town grew, the stories soon disappeared of the cursed mine and the abhorrent events it wrought on the town. Josh has lived in Tameworth all his life and after meeting his lifelong friend and now girlfriend, thoughts of their future and marriage flood his young adult mind as he believes he has found his soulmate, but little does Josh realise that what is about to happen is going to change his life forever. His plan for a romantic proposal was simple. A boat trip out onto White Mere Lake, and then a romantic meal and then said deed would be done and his future with Lisa would be sealed. Unknowing to Josh and Lisa, it was time for the strange spirit that resides below that had waited its 50 years and it was now time to wreak havoc once more on the town. But this time, it was wanting more than ever before. The malevolent spirit wants only the souls of the chosen few and now has a way out of the mine, and soon it will seek out those souls that it needs to be free. David Bromin, the local fire chief, it soon to realise that a rescue mission he was on, soon turns into one of the strangest mysteries he has ever come across when a geologist named Sarah Lucas convinces him that she needs to go down the Tin mine to find something she suspects is a new phenomenon to science, and like so many before them, they soon discover that this mine is indeed cursed and now the spirit knows they are looking beyond what they need to know. With murders suddenly appearing all over Tameworth, detective Paul Smyth is soon on the scene and colluding with David to try to figure out what is happening, but like so much David is learning, the town of Tameworth is covering up a dirty secret and those involved with stop a nothing to keep Tameworth’s seedy past secret, even if it means framing or even killing those who seek out the truth. With the town in jeopardy and the evil spirit slowly gaining strength, time is running out to destroy the entity before it rampages through the town, in this endearing, yet odd tale from Joe KING.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Worm Farming Revolution Book teaches you everything you need to know about raising worms in order to grow amazing plants, recycle kitchen scraps, or grow your own fishing worms. It's a Return to the Founding Principles of Successful Gardening and an almost lost art our forefathers past down to us. Just because our technology changes and our knowledge increases doesn't mean that we have to invent something that's completely opposite of what the Creator showed us. A new way of feeding millions of people doesn't have to oppose nature, but should work with nature. I show you how to harness and multiply the power of a tiny organism that corporations and many people have become disconnected with. We have gone down a dark agricultural road with too few exits to get us back in the right direction. The technology of today combined with the proven methods of the past is where science should have lead us. But where "scientists" have failed, there has been a revolt. Not in a new way, but the reviving of a forgotten way. If you've never heard of the term "Worm Farming" then it may seem like a silly, eccentric hobby created to study the natural habits of worms. Well that may be true to some degree, but the truth, meaning, and reason behind this quirky little phrase may be one of the greatest yet simplest technological awakenings to hit the agricultural industry since the invention of, what I call, the world's most "successful failures..".synthetic fertilizers. No matter what gardening method you use, the fact is, you WILL need worm castings (worm poop) in order to give plants the proper food they were created to feed on. Worm castings are as natural to plants as breast milk to a new born baby. This is one of the reasons why worms are found moving in and out of the root systems of plants. They deposit the rich, microbial fertilizer that plants depend on for optimal health. This book teaches you how to grow your plants by, FIRST, growing your soil. You'll learn everything you
