Secrets of Bayboro Mansion is a middle grade/young adult fiction, with twist and turns that will hold you captive until the stunning end.

 

Jace Burk couldn’t remember anything about his life before he was adopted at the age of six. Now, at thirteen, while he and his sister attempt to discover who murdered their aunt, the missing years seep back into his mind. Like ghost ships returning to a foggy port, each memory brings with it more questions, and what he does remember, he wishes he could forget. The answers he is seeking are in Aunt Betsy’s Bayboro Mansion, but those answers may cost him his life.

The book was wonderful, really, a truly spellbinding, beautifully written mystery

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE Based on a true story, Run for your life is a middle grade/young adult fiction, written to entertain, inspire, and encourage.

On a cold March night in New Jersey, twelve-year-old, Josh Taylor and his mother make a desperate escape from their tiny four-room bungalow and a life riddled with pain. For seven years, Fred Gibson, Josh’s stepfather, ruled the house with intimidation and cruelty. Running away however, wouldn’t be the end of Fred. He didn’t like things taken from him—even if he didn’t want them.

When they left, Josh brought with him two things that had belonged to his birth father; a math book and a chess set. One will help him grow into the young man he always wanted to be, the other will bring Fred’s rage and fury pouring back into his life.



Run For Your Life is a bittersweet journey filled with imagery that buoys the spirit, outlining the path from the stark fear brought about by child abuse, to joy. It is truly a heartwarming story, full of pain and happiness, terror and triumph….
