The Homicidal Diary

by Earl Peirce

* There have been a series of murders by beheading.
* Could your friend be involved.
* The diary: An account of murderous doings from the past. Could just reading the book send men mad.

The Story that the Keg Told Me, and The Story of the Man Who Didn't Know Much

by W.H.H. Murray

'The Story That the Keg Told Me'
A dream wich was more of a vission.
A Midas like man turns to the woods to protect his keg of gold.

'The Story of the Man Who Didn't Know Much'
What you know is relative to your situation.
And what you know doesn't reveal the heart within.

Two main characters are developed and are continued in other stories.
The stories are full of the respect, trust and comradship of back woodsmen.

Check out the other books that make the trilogy: 'The Mystery of the Woods and The Man Who Missed It', 'Holiday Tales'

The Lost Warship

by Robert Moore Williams

WWII battleship lost in time. Yep, wrong place at the right time, takes you back millions of years. Prehistoric times?, yes, but with a twist.

Dinosaurs, volcano, pretty girl and a trader among them. But wait there's more. A race of bad guys that fly planes.

The Riddle of the Spinning Wheel

by Mary E. Hanshew

Another detective Cleek mystery.
The lights go out and there is a sound from the spinning wheel.
A father is murdered.
His son has the best motive.
The Spinning Wheel: An old curse says, that when the Spinning Wheel spins by itself, someone will die.

Detective Cleek (he of the forty faces), an old house and a murder. What else could you want?
