Download or read book Speed Dating Murders written by Gary Doc Nelson and published by Waterside Productions. This book was released on 2022-10-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first try at speed dating went spectacularly. Ten women, ten men with five minutes to sell ourselves. All four of my choices provided hits. One was turning into a budding, loving, long term relationship until the murders got in the way. Michelle Del Carlo felt she had found a winner. An old-fashioned guy. He was tall which was a must as she edged six feet. He was even athletic, an assistant basketball coach at a Division I university in San Francisco. His name was Rob MacKay and their five-minute date went well as well as their next five. Everything was pointing at that 5% category of a long-term relationship when after a month of dating, Rob was accused of committing murder. The Gay man who had run the speed dating event for Quick Dates, was killed, along with one of the women daters. Instead of straining their relationship, the stress of the charge brings them together. Michelle believing Rob is innocent of the charge, starts investigating the other speed daters, along with Rob and the help of Rob's attorney, Nate "The Great" Hart. This puts both of them in danger and results in the death of Rob's cat on the doorstep of his home. Slowly the police start considering Rob less of a suspect and more as a potential victim. The setting is in San Francisco and Marin County with Rob caught in the middle of trying to continue to do his job as recruiter of high school athletes and collage game coach. The story unfolds with him as the main storyteller. Michelle changes jobs from a clothing retailer in downtown San Francisco to an upscale retailer in Marin while she works to prove Rob's innocence. Details about evaluation and recruiting of high school athletes provides the setting for the story as Rob and Michelle unravel the mystery until a third woman dater's bloody coat is found under the Golden Gate Bridge. It becomes more than just a murder when it's realized that the missing woman's job with the Bank of America was as the head of security against cyber threats. Her disappearance becomes a threat to National Security. Speed Dating Murders, shows all the fears and uncertainty of trying to understand a person in just five minutes. Generally daters are looking for a long-lasting relationship. The services advertise that the possibility of that is 5% per dating event while the possibility of sex is in the 7 1/2 percent range. There is always the chance of selecting a predator. The inspiration for The Speed Dating Murders came from the true experiences of two daters, where all the women in the event met in the bathroom prior to the five-minute dating, as well as after the event. They exchanged information as to their choices and who the men put on their contact scorecard. In The Speed Dating Murders this instance results in two perhaps three murders, and the death of a cat.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Vine Award in Non-Fiction "A comedy for catastrophic times." --CBC "A hilarious memoir of effervescent misadventures." --Toronto Star "How am I laughing at someone's mother's cancer? How? We think we can't laugh about death, about cancer, about our mothers and their suffering . . . and we can't, but we can. And there's so much relief in that." --Carolyn Taylor, BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW A whip-smart and darkly funny memoir about an unconventional family, the limits of wellness fads, and the mother of all catastrophes. Rachel Matlow’s eccentric mom, Elaine, never quite followed the script handed down to her. Her bold out-there-ness made it okay for Rachel to be their genderqueer self and live life on their own terms. But when Elaine decides to try to heal her cancer naturally, Rachel has to draw the line. What ensues is a tug of war between logical and magical thinking, an odyssey through New Age remedies ranging from herbal tinctures and juice cleanses to a countryside ayahuasca trip, and a portrait of a mother and child who’ve never been physically closer or ideologically further apart. In facing their inimitable mother’s death, Rachel has written a book bursting with life—the epic adventures and epic fails, the broken limbs and belly laughs. As hilarious as it is poignant, Dead Mom Walking is about writing the story of your life only to find out that life has other plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like Stephen King, he knows how to summon serious scares." - Bentley Little, The Haunting Stoker Award finalist THE RED CHURCH For 13-year-old Ronnie Day, life is full of problems: Mom and Dad have separated, his brother Tim is a constant pest, Melanie Ward either loves him or hates him, and Jesus Christ won't stay in his heart. Plus he has to walk past the red church every day, where the Bell Monster hides with its wings and claws and livers for eyes. But the biggest problem is that Archer McFall is the new preacher at the church, and Mom wants Ronnie to attend midnight services with her. Sheriff Frank Littlefield hates the red church for a different reason. His little brother died in a freak accident at the church twenty years ago, and now Frank is starting to see his brother's ghost. And the ghost keeps demanding, "Free me." People are dying in Whispering Pines, and the murders coincide with McFall's return. The Days, the Littlefields, and the McFalls are descendants of the original families that settled the rural Appalachian community. Those old families share a secret of betrayal and guilt, and McFall wants his congregation to prove its faith. Because he believes he is the Second Son of God, and that the cleansing of sin must be done in blood. "Sacrifice is the currency of God," McFall preaches, and unless Frank and Ronnie stop him, everybody pays. --------------------------- "Scott Nicholson understands that the best horror novels achieve primal fear through a combination of sustained atmosphere, richly drawn characters, and believable if uncanny evils that draw unholy power from everyday lives." --Christopher Ransom, author of The Birthing House "Keep both hands on your pants, because Nicholson is about to scare them off."--J.A. Konrath, Origin "Scott Nicholson is the kind of writer who always surprises and always entertains."--Jonathan Maberry, Patient Zero "Scott Nicholson writes with a mixture of H.P.
