Cruising (Adventures of Chief and Sarge, Book 1)
Cruising (Adventures of Chief and Sarge, Book 1)
Pine Crest is a quiet little Ohio town just outside Cleveland. To the outside world, it seems to function as any other small town. However, upon closer inspection, Stacey and her father, Sam Spencer, discover the dangerous secret that is this town’s reality. Corruption has such a massive stronghold; survival seems to be the way of life.
Asserting her normal independent attitude in this new environment as the new kid in town could find Stacey in trouble. However, the strength inside her forces her not back down. Once Sam figures out what is going on, he cannot turn a blind eye to it either. By fighting back, can the Spencer’s help free this town from its bonds? Will it ignite a spark of hope or an all-out war? What would you do if your town was held captive? Would you comply or would you fight back?
Isaiah 40:31: But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
What would you do if your town was held captive? Would you comply or fight back?

Beyond The Sea: Stories From The Underground (An Anthology)
Beyond The Sea: Stories From The Underground (An Anthology)
Beyond The Sea: Stories From The Underground (An Anthology)
One photograph - A single image - A lonely boat on the edge of sea
Is it adrift? - Was it abandoned? - Did it wash ashore? - Was anyone aboard? Did someone leave it behind? - Is anyone coming back? - Who knows.
The sea has washed the footprints away.
Look at the vessel and think: “If that old boat could talk, what stories it would tell.” Wonder no longer. Twelve members of Underground Authors all gazed upon the same image. And to each the photograph told a different story. Same boat. Same image. Different genres.
From mystery and technothriller to romance and magical realism, from horror and historical fiction to fantasy and suspense with a little paranormal thrown in for good measure.
These stories are presented in Beyond The Sea and are the handiwork of award-winning authors C.J. Peterson, Cindy Davis, Rox Burkey & Charles Breakfield, CW Hawes, Richard Schwindt, Ronald E. Yates, Kelly Marshall, N.E. Brown, Linda Pirtle, James R. Callan, Michael Scott Clifton, and Caleb Pirtle III.
The stories are all different as the boat had more than one secret to tell. It had a dozen.
The Underground Authors decided to dedicate the proceeds from 2021 sales of Beyond The Sea to a group that supports communities. Team Rubicon. To learn more about them, go to: https://teamrubiconusa.org/
