Reign of Silence
A Supernatural Tale of Ancient Sin
Reign of Silence is the story of Joshua Nix, a young pastor who comes to serve a church in the small county seat town of St. Helena, Alabama. Events there, which seem to be precipitated by his fascination with the supernatural, cause his life and his rational worldview to be changed forever.
After the mysterious disappearance of her parents, Meredith Dubose, last surviving member of an aristocratic Southern family, experiences … psychological trauma from unresolved grief? A true “haunting” in her ancestral home? A demonic siege? As Joshua seeks to minister to Meredith, he finds himself obsessing over her and her plight, causing strain on his marriage and his relationship to his church. Joshua ultimately learns the horrific truth of the supernatural events and a shattering truth about himself.
Events begin innocuously enough, with Meredith, still grieving over her parents, noticing subtle changes in the atmosphere of her house. Distant whispered voices, shadowy figures half-glimpsed … she doubts her reason, her reality. Introduced to Joshua by her best friend, she sees in him a counselor, a comforter, perhaps something else. And Joshua, caught unawares by her innocent charms, finds himself more involved than he, or his wife Bethany , would like.
Manifestations intensify, with the turning point being an apparent transient possession of Meredith by some evil entity. Joshua finds himself consulting with a paranormal expert, “Precious” McRae, who flaunts the conventions of the stereotypical “ghost hunter” as popularized by television reality shows by approaching the situation from a Christian context, with unexpected and terrifying results. Joshua learns of perverse events in Meredith’s familial past and his providential connection to her and her ancestors. From the first contact with the paranormal to the final paroxysm, Joshua, Meredith, and the others in the story grapple with forces beyond their experience or beliefs.

A DEVIL SINGING SMALL
By: Karen Charbonneau
(15 Reviews)
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
What would you do if, after a dozen years of trying to be the perfect wife to an unpredictable combat veteran with a hair-trigger temper, your husband is diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic?
This family saga, spanning the years from World War II through the Vietnam War and after, recounts the unseen wounds war inflicts on two generations of an American family. With a raw authenticity stripped of self-pity and with a poet’s eye for lyrical detail, Betty recounts her wartime romance with Army Air Corps Sergeant Mitch Lanier, raised in a Catholic orphanage; their rocky marriage; the births of a son and daughter; and Mitch’s gradual downward spiral from a man who built his own home and could fix anything into a schizophrenic, obsessed with the Virgin Mary and extra-terrestrial flight.
They raise their family in rural Idaho, where Betty relies on her inner life, her love of the land, to give her the fortitude to fulfill her marriage vows and the courage to protect her family and seek whatever help is available for Mitch. Betty grows from a subservient homemaker of the 1940s and ’50s to a breadwinner in the 1960s. Love and temptation, fear and loss give a razor’s edge to a sometime funny, often difficult, life.
It is also the story of the conflicting relationship between Betty and daughter Torie, who seeks her future in Washington, D. C., during the anti-war movement; and Betty’s pride and apprehensions for son Michael, a combat infantry lieutenant in Vietnam.
The lives of this post-war American family are etched with vivid detail. The author drew on her observations of her father’s schizophrenia to give this novel a sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, realism.

This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store
By: A.K. Turner
(12 Reviews)
Genre: Humor
FREE for a limited time
Did Erma Bombeck ever guzzle vodka? If she did, she might have come close to the ribald domestic humor in Turner’s “momoir” This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store. The subtitle of the book is “Unapologetic Admissions from a Non-Contender for Mother of the Year” and Turner pulls few punches in her self-deprecating descriptions of life as an “unexpected parent.” Scan the chapter titles and you’ll get an idea of what’s waiting for you inside: “Do as I Say, Not as I Do” and “I’m Not Having Twins, Bitch,” for example.
This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store chronicles what happens when a little girl who scorns the idea of marriage and children (in favor of becoming a stiletto-wearing, attache-carrying Secret Agent), majors in Russian, minors in Vodka, and then one day finds herself with child… and in-laws.
