The Haunting of Barrington Heights Estates - A chilling True Story of the paranormal by Raylee Anne Mckenna
When an excited family from the South builds their new dream home in the new upcoming community of Barrington Heights Estates, the last brick couldn’t be laid fast enough. Having the many acres for the children to run and play was only one of the many benefits that led so many families to buy this much-sought-after section of real estate.
The Barrington family had held on to their large, prized tract of land through many generations. Still, since the property contained around a thousand acres, “which could have easily been its own city,” plus add in a brand new modern elementary school that was scheduled to open its doors for the first time in 1967, families were flocking from all over the south for a chance to buy into this amazing location.
5-year-old Raylee Anne’s family indeed felt lucky to be moving to such a lovely area, but as the Barrington family moved on to various locations, they left behind some of their family secrets.
When a next-door neighbor shows Raylee Anne’s father the remnants from the old Barrington family cemetery that was located in his backyard, along with grave markers and headstones; It became quite difficult for her young mind to comprehend what that meant, but when the neighbor convinces Raylee Anne’s father to take some of the markers to their new home , they got more than they bargained for .
As Raylee Anne grows up, she constantly endures torture from unworldly phenomena, as well as the frequent torments of a paranormal haunting, it was no wonder that young Raylee Anne’s health was deteriorating rapidly.
It wasn’t until Raylee Anne’s mother, “ now in her early eighty’s,” and still living at the same house in Barrington Heights Estates fifty years later, that she, herself, would become the target of a horrific curse and chilling hauntings, that almost took her life.
In those dreadful moments, the rest of the family had to come to grips with the stories of ghostly torments of a then little Raylee Anne, and how her cries were to no avail for so many years, because she was told “Ghost can’t hurt you !
You would get a different answer to that today…....

ZOMBIE - Thriller/Mystery book by Clifford Benjamin
Sucking the blood out of people was all fiction; those were dreadfully terrible times. But we have come many years from whence we came. Sadly, we have a president who did unimaginable things that would even make Alfred Hitchcock blush. Yes, it’s all about him, the president that is, that’s like a cancerous sore that never heals; it keeps him wanting more and more regardless of who he had to kill to get what he wants. Whether they’re king or Queen or gay or straight, it didn’t mean a hill of beans. He was in for the long haul, no one the wiser of his dastardly deeds. His thirst for blood was mind-bending. He didn’t discriminate as to who the victims were; he took them as they came. Once you read the story, I hope you agree that this guy was one badass crazy idiot that the world had ever seen and may never see again, and you may know why I chose the title of the book coined “ZOMBIE.” Basically and succinctly, Zombie is like the new kid on the block that can stretch one’s imagination toward the bizarre and can be a slight bit kinky at times. It can take one’s vision on a helluva ride.
Lastly, yes, there is no biting on the neck or tooth marks. I hope you ENJOY and find the book a page-turner, especially on a thunderous stormy night with the rain pouring down in torrents and ominous lightning streaking across the pitch-black sky.

2. To further equip successful business owners in their growth in mature Christian leadership.
If you are a Christian leader in either ministry or business- the eternal revolutionary truths revealed in this book make it a manual for success you cannot afford to pass by.

Susan: A Jane Austen Prequel - BookLife-recommended historical fiction by Alice McVeigh
This book is on sale on Amazon for $0.99 (regularly $3.99) 7/31/2021 - 8/30/2021!
A brand-new, feel-good, light summer read!
“Pitch-perfect prose and plotting. This Austen-inspired novel echoes the master herself. Emma mingles with Pride and Prejudice in a delightful confrontation between the two books' worlds…” (Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize 2021, 10/10)
“I found the characters colorful and thoroughly entertaining, the dialogue witty and laced with humor… McVeigh writes with a flow and eloquence that makes the narrative as smooth as melted butter, and she perfectly captures the era.” (Readers' Favorite)
“The writing shines… The syntax and nature of early 19th-century prose is mirrored almost perfectly.” (Self-Publishing Review)
“Witty, fun, and has all the hallmarks of an Austen novel.” (Recommended, US Review of Books)
This book is a prequel to Jane Austen's Lady Susan, in which a beautiful but manipulative young widow descends on her sister-in-law’s estate, causing mayhem. In this prequel, Susan is only sixteen.
Like Sense and Sensibility, the novel possesses two heroines, one thoughtful and reserved and one as exuberantly scheming as Emma herself: like Mansfield Park, it involves amateur theatrics; like Pride and Prejudice, it features an elopement. Susan’s character – witty, manipulative, and impudent to the point of recklessness – is the book’s linchpin, but every subplot coalesces in the grand finale, which includes a believable but intensely surprising plot twist. McVeigh has set it a year before Emma, and “borrowed” several of Austen’s more memorable characters – including Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
Alice McVeigh, a London-based ghost writer, has been published by Orion/Hachette in contemporary fiction. (""McVeigh succeeds in harmonising a supremely comic tone with much darker notes."" - The Sunday Times.). She has also written a Kirkus-starred thriller published by UK publishers Unbound (using her pen name, Spaulding Taylor). Susan is the first of a six-book series.
Mission Omission: Exposing Invisible Lies and the Ace up Evil's Sleeve by Jeff Seeley
In every society, a malicious camouflage hides dishonesty in plain sight. Everyone deceives, and everyone hates being deceived. But, at best, that is only half the story. The most seductive and virulent deceptions begin with lies that we are never told and do not see: the invisible lies of omission.
"Mission Omission" sees a commodity trader turned financial-fraud hunter combine provocative thought experiments with examples of true crime in American History. Readers are shocked and intrigued when they learn how suppressed truths drive world-changing events. Examples include:
-Thanksgiving traditions
-The Vietnam War
-Watergate
-The Great Recession
-Suppression of the Civil Rights Movement.
Despite the relentless ethical plague, this book provides a guide to good news. The scourge of omission surrounds all of us, but not all of us need to be scourged. By reflecting on compelling examples, readers learn how to avoid the snare of ethical camouflage in their day-to-day lives. With this phenomenon demystified, readers can detect and withstand invisible lies that sabotage families, relationships, and careers.
The Masks - Nothing that happens is important, because they tell you what doesn’t happen by Edda Tassi
Nothing that happens is important, because they tell you what doesn’t happen. They like the lies. They invited you at the great masked dance. Hatred and deceit disguise themselves as kindness and generosity at the great world gala. And you?
