Book excerpt: In Niceville, a pleasant Southern town where evil lurks just beneath the surface, two back-to-back airplane crashes set off a spellbinding chain reaction of murder, inadvertent kidnapping, and double-dealing. Detective Nick Kavanaugh must balance his investigation into the accidents with family concerns and a long-buried mystery. He and his wife Kate, a family lawyer, have taken in Kate’s sister and her two children, escaping their abusive father Byron Deitz. The Kavanaughs are also caring for the orphaned Rainey Teague, who recently survived a strange kidnapping and has come back a very different child. Rainey was not the last person to vanish from a Niceville street; most recently, an administrator from Rainey’s school, and—even worse—Kate’s father, a local historian, have gone missing. Using her father’s files, Kate and Nick start to unearth their town’s bloodstained past, trying to discover the truth behind generations of disappearances. But a sinister someone—or something—stands in their way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word hope takes on a new definition under the idea of no limitations, but this world has a way of delaying someone’s hope. Endless nights of unceasing prayer from the people of this land and yet with all these ideas on unity, we cannot seem to get it together. We put our hopes in visions and signs, and we spend our nights waiting on our every word to come to pass. We do all these to bring about a better future. This book explains why our hopes have been delayed, why life never seems to go according to plan. This book uncovers secrets in life that have been kept from us, but now, I hold these secrets hostage and give them back to the people. Even more, this book shows us healing. My zeal for my ambitions always put me in tough positions. It was a point in my life when I was hearing voices, my hands would not stop shaking, my stomach was in constant pain, and my vision was blurred. My pride would not let me ask for help to recovery, but in my sickness, secrets came about. Two year later, I am healed. I am now a small business owner, an author, and a college degree holder. After you read this book, I hope you come to understand that life is not by chance but by choice, and the choices someone makes will make them.
