The Pearl of Spirituality Shines Brightest Amidst the Heart of Darkness.

Darkness haunts Sherry Whittington. To the outside world, she's a typical thirty-seven-year old woman. Inwardly, she battles schizophrenia, but when Sherry discovers she is also psychically gifted, it is one more burden she must endure.

Cadence McShane is an FBI remote viewer on a covert mission in West Texas trying to find an ancient crystal capable of mass destruction. When the search leads him to Sherry, Cadence is stunned when she intuits his true identity but he quickly exploits her psychic ability to his advantage.

Together, driven by a chemistry neither of them can deny, Cadence and Sherry race to uncover the crystal before domestic terrorists can use it in on U.S. soil. The pair's every move is being anticipated by the terrorist group’s strong arm, Morda, a sadistic hermaphrodite who feeds upon chaos.

Sherry is no match for Morda or his twisted obsession of wreaking havoc upon all those that enter his path. Armed with only childlike spiritual guidance and the backfiring curses of a vengeful psychic, Sherry must accept and embrace her new ability if she and Cadence are to overcome Morda and reach the crystal first.

Drawing readers into a compelling and twisted world dominated by deceit and intrigue, Dark Horizon introduces a sadistic villain battling a damaged heroine struggling with her own sanity and faith. (197 pages)

Forgotten Fayetteville and More Hidden Histories from Washington County

Washington County has nearly two centuries of stories to tell, and many of them have been forgotten.
In this follow-up to Forgotten Fayetteville, local historians J. B. Hogan and Susan Parks-Spencer uncover more of the people, places, and events that shaped Fayetteville and the surrounding county. Explore the violent early years of Evansville, revisit the shocking murder that led to the execution of the Burnett family, and discover what made April 1864 one of the deadliest months in Washington County history. You’ll meet John Rollin Ridge, the first Native American novelist, learn the story of Rebecca Brown Tollett’s life in slavery, and examine the tragic lynching of Reverend Anthony Bewley.
From vanished towns and frontier churches to forgotten cemeteries, pioneering families, and overlooked chapters of Native American, Black, and immigrant history, these stories reveal a richer and more complex past than many realize. Woven together, they form a portrait of the lives, triumphs, and tragedies that shaped this corner of the Ozarks and the communities that call it home.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a newcomer, or simply a student of Arkansas history, Forgotten Fayetteville and More Hidden Histories from Washington County invites you to look beyond familiar landmarks and rediscover the people and events that helped shape the Ozarks.

The Apocalypse Called. It Wants a Do Over.

Then the last-minute save actually works. Earth survives. So does Corey.
Yay?
