SPIRIT PASS is a gripping and emotionally charged novella that sheds light on a harrowing and often overlooked crisis-the disappearances of young Indigenous women on Native American reservations.When the body of Claudia Shepherd is discovered near the affluent edges of Spirit Pass Reservation, old friends Jessica Medicine Stone, a Tribal Sergeant, and FBI Agent Casey Borgreve are forced to navigate a tense partnership to uncover the truth. As suspicion spreads and longtime allies like Agnes and Bernice find themselves at odds, the investigation spirals into a maze of secrets, rivalries, and buried trauma.With an ever-growing list of suspects and a community torn between self-reliance and the need for federal help, Jessica must grapple with her deep mistrust of outside authorities-even as time runs out to stop a predator hiding in plain sight.Set on a reservation just beyond the sprawl of a big city-where casinos bring wealth to some and shadows to others-SPIRIT PASS explores the stark contrasts, the cultural tensions, and the resilience of those fighting for justice. Taut, poignant, and fiercely authentic, this is a story where every voice matters, and silence can be deadly.-Keith Mbuya for Reader's Favorite

Greystone's Secret: Suspenseful Tale of Efforts to Address Soundness of Thoroughbred Race Horses
Robert Sharp

Nathan Hunter does not believe in coincidences-a broken stirrup leather, untied mooring line, Meg Callahan's incredulous fall in a top equestrian event, horses testing positive for illegal substances, and the suspicious barn fire which claimed the life of Meg's grandfather. Then things get worse, confirming his beliefs. Sited on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and the outlet of the Susquehanna River, the historic town of Havre de Grace, Maryland was once home to a nationally acclaimed racetrack nicknamed "The Graw". Little did Nathan Hunter know when he first visited the Callahan dairy farm nearby, that what lay buried at the old track would be the key to unraveling a series of sinister events that had already claimed the life of one Callahan and several of their Thoroughbreds. Nathan Hunter's dreams of one day improving the breed of the Thoroughbred horse for soundness are encouraged by Andrew Callahan-a strong, charismatic, dairy farmer who provides Nathan with the father figure he never knew. With Liz, a sharp shooting southern belle as his wife, Nathan is able to overcome his infatuation for Callahan's gifted equestrian daughter, Meg, and-with the help of Callahan resources-pursue his goal. Unfortunately, because of his relationship with the Callahans, someone seems bent on seeing that Nathan's dreams never become reality. When a fire meant to kill Andrew and his son, Eric, destroys the Callahan horse barn and leads to the discovery of a secret hideout for slaves, valuable documents of grandfather Callahan are found which point to ominous acts by a top racing and breeding farm to ruin competition at all costs-including murder. In their efforts to prove the merit of the elder Callahan's breeding program, Nathan, Eric, Meg and Liz become the targets of the same forces suspected of murdering Eric's grandfather; disaster threatens them from Ireland, through Havre de Grace, and right into Professor Nathan Hunter's classroom in Lexington, Kentucky. Although the story is fictional, it is unique in that the author introduces factual data and some basic research to allow the reader to think critically about current practices in racing and breeding Thoroughbreds which may be contributing to breakdowns. Attention is given to Artificial Insemination-not now recognized by The Jockey Club-as a means to assist breed improvement.

The Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital was more than a building; it embodied an entire era of uniquely American history, from the unparalleled humanitarian efforts of Dorothea Dix to the revolutionary architectural concepts of Thomas Story Kirkbride. After well over a century of service, Greystone was left abandoned in 2008. From the time it closed until its demolition in 2015, Greystone became the focal point of a passionate preservation effort that drew national attention and served to spark the public s interest in historical asylum preservation. Many of the images contained in this book were rescued from the basement of Greystone in 2002 and have never been seen by the public. They appear courtesy of the Morris Plains Museum and its staff, who spent many hours digitally archiving the photographs so that future generations may better know Greystone s history."

Special thanks to all my fans out there, for your continued support. The last chapters of the "Greystone Series," are very important, because they relate to our everyday lives. Every wonder why you do or don't stub your toe all the time? Do you wonder about that hidden voice that pops in your head deterring you from doing something bad? Why is it that certain people find their mates, while others are left totally alone? Why is it that evil seems to rule our physical world? These are important questions, and in order to understand the reasons why? We must first understand the nature of the hidden forces that lurk in the shadows. Most are in fact against us, as it is the devil's world, they are there for nefarious purposes; however, there are a few, like Lexi, that are there to guard and help out the Child of God. Understanding and learning how to combat these forces, is a major step in controlling them, and not letting them control us and steal our blessings. MaJel is just now coming to terms with this information, as he is holding Mai Xing's hand, and they are walking in the forest. It is an unusually warm fall night, as curiosity leds them to a mysterious pond, in the middle of the woods. They decide to cool off and jump in the pond. MaJel feels a sharp sting on his leg, and he discovers that his body is in fact covered by thousands of leaches. Mai Xing, is even worse for wear, having passed out from the pain and shock. Luckily, Lexi is nearby taking a bath, and comes over to see what the commotion is all about. She wakes Mai Xing and looks at MaJel perplexed and asks, "Why did you follow me?" MaJel tries to explain to Lexi about the leaches, but as he looks down, were the leaches were and they are all gone. Lexi calms MaJel down, smiles, and hands him the stone that she was bathing with. A profound calm and peace overtakes MaJel, as he leans back and falls deeply asleep floating in the pond. Lexi whispers, "Time to go home." Follow, MaJel, and Mai Xing, as Lexi continues to instruct them about the path of Jesus, and they discover the last Greystone.

Special thanks to all my fans out there, for your continued support. This one had been a difficult one, because it deals with the Israelis of the days of Joshua, and Jeremiah. These books ask the question, what happens "if," Father's mercy runs out. Many foolishly believe that Father will continue to bless them despite taking up "accursed things," and continuing with unrepentant sins and trespasses? Now let's find out as first Joshua, has to deal with the "accursed things," which directly led to Jeremiah dealing with an "accursed people," that were totally Godless. MaJel looks in Lexi's mirror and is immediately "glamour." That is, he cannot take his eyes off the beauty that Lexi is showing him. It is like a canvass painted but with the brightest white, instead of with colors. The colors that are there, MaJel's eyes cannot perceive, as he has never been exposed to them before. Lexi's begins to remove the mirror and MaJel obsessively reaches for it. The mirror falls to the floor in Lexi's room and shatters. Lexi scolds Majel relentlessly, and points to one of the larger pieces of the mirror. Majel stares into it; however, he no longer sees the beautiful world he once saw. Only the "Hairy Monster." Lexi calms down, hands MaJel another mirror, and whispers: Now let's start over from the beginning. Follow MaJel and Mai Xing, as they follow Lexi, and she teaches them about "A New Beginning," away from the "accursed things," of the days of Joshua, and the accursed peoples of the days of Jeremiah.
