When does a man stop loving a woman? When she dies, does his feelings die with her? If he still loves her years after she's gone, when is it all right to love someone new? Frank Watson was a farmer who lived in a small town nestled in the cornfields of rural America. He spent his life farming the land that had been in the family for well over a hundred years. He reared two children with Ida, his wife, and never had any regrets. Then, suddenly, she was gone. The woman with whom he had shared his bed for over forty-two years was suddenly absent from his life. Everyone in town jealously admired their special relationship. While they were married, there wasn’t a year that passed that Frank didn’t prepare a homemade cake for Ida’s birthday. They still held hands everywhere they went even after all those years. She was gone now, and Frank was all alone. Then Pepper Ledley came into Frank’s life. She was a young woman nearly half his age and offered him something he had never before considered, a new beginning. However, it somehow didn’t seem right to Frank. How could he have these feelings when he still loved Ida? As he struggles with his new feelings and the memory of his beloved wife, Frank faces the biggest crisis of his life. A large foreign corporation wants to build and operate a five hundred-acre egg factory. Frank alienates himself from the rest of the town when he, steadfastly, refuses to sell his land. Unlike the other members of the community, Frank is certain there will be problems if they are allowed to build.

When she was 17, there wasn’t a man alive she would let get near her, and when she was 18, there wasn’t a man she would keep away. She stood five feet seven inches tall, weighed one hundred twenty pounds, her green eyes sparkled like brilliant cut emeralds, her inviting full lips always ruby red and moist.  Women universally hated her, men continued to hold doors for her long after she passed by - just to watch her walk away. To imply that Jessie exuded sex would be an understatement, akin to inferring that water was wet.  Ninety-nine point nine percent of the men in Steam Corners wanted her, but she only wanted one man, Spencer Deacon. He was everything that she was not, even-tempered, amicable, well respected and kind. The one thing that Spencer didn’t want was Jessie, and his firm and undeniable rejections infuriated her. What followed was a series of sordid events involving murder, deceit, betrayal and the conviction of an innocent man.

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE It was the worst two-week killing spree in Ohio’s history. On the night of July 21, 1948, Robert Daniels and John West entered John and Nolena Niebel’s house with loaded guns. They forced the family including the Niebel’s 21-year-old daughter, Phyllis, into their car and drove them to a cornfield just off Fleming Falls Road in Mansfield. The two men instructed the Niebels to remove all of their clothing, and then Robert Daniels shot each of them in the head. The brutal murders caught national attention in the media, but the killing spree didn’t stop there. Three more innocent people would lose their lives at the hands of Daniels and West in the coming week. Scott Fields tirelessly researched the killings, the capture and trial of Daniels and even interviewed a surviving member of the Niebel family to weave this tragic story into a must-read novel bringing the reader back to those dark days in the summer of 1948. What led to these brutal killings, and why was the Niebel family singled-out to be savagely murdered? It has been more than sixty years since the tragedy, and, yet, this question still remains unanswered. The killing spree is not only remembered to this day, but is an important and dark part of Mansfield lore.
