In 1875, Clem Jenkins purchased a farm along the banks of Spencer Creek, just outside the town of Lebanon, Tennessee. The property bordered the farm of Thomas Masters, and, at least initially, the relationship between the two families, remained cordial. But once they disagreed concerning withdrawal of water from the creek, it seemed every conversation between the two men created an additional basis for an argument. Two men-each successful in getting exactly what they wanted, but doing so using two completely different methods. Clem achieved his desired result with force, using either his .45, or some other strong-arm method. George was successful while using his intellect, and his ability to persuade. Both approaches were successful in prior dealings with others. But neither method worked when it came to the issues involving each other. Whatever the issue might be-whether it involved water rights, their crops, their children, or their women-they simply could not agree on anything. So began a never-ending deadly game of conflict, litigation, and murder, involving the families, their spouses, their children and their grandchildren. Even as both families grew through the years and eventually moved to Nashville, the conflict continued, spilling out into the streets through four generations, until finally coming to a completely unpredictable ending in 2016.

Literature & Fiction

Genre Fiction

With a Monk meets Leverage flair, Brakus is no ordinary jewelry thief. He can pick any lock, crack any safe, and foil any security system. He is quirky and a card-carrying sufferer of OCD. He is fit, handsome, and capable of Zen-like bouts of concentration. He seemingly has it all. Everything, that is, except control. Brakus goes to great lengths to satisfy the irrational and superstitious needs of his fragile psyche. Whether that means crossing a bridge repeatedly until he recites the Hail Mary properly or covering all the seams between the tiles in his motel bathroom, Brakus is at the mercy of his compulsions. To date, his penchant for neatness and organization has served him well. But things go horribly, murderously wrong when he tries to pull off the ultimate double-heist in a small tourist town nestled at the foot of the Green Mountains in Vermont. There he bumps up against the limits of his perfection—and the limitlessness of his greed. "...well-written thriller featuring a memorable main character who grows creepier by the page."--Kirkus Reviews

While she contended with a mixture of ethical and personal issues, she continued to struggle not only with a client who insisted he was not guilty of the gruesome crime with which he was charged, but also with his overbearing, controlling friend, who appeared to be capable of doing almost anything to insure the legal proceedings progressed as he wished. She had one person she felt she could trust. Unfortunately, he was the cop investigating those yet publicly undisclosed issues of which she was deeply involved.

Thrillers & Suspense

In 2006, a heinous, sexually motivated murder occurred in Nashville. The perpetrator was never apprehended, and the crime, like so many others, became just another cold case. Ten years later, a murder was committed, with details eerily similar to the crime committed in 2006. But this time, they apprehended the man all of the evidence indicated was guilty--Nashville Private Investigator Barrett Armstrong. He now sits behind bars charged with the horrific murder of his lover and awaiting trial. As Barrett's trial begins, confidence in his attorney dwindles with each witness. He knows his only hope for exoneration lies with his friend and fellow private investigator, Kris Thompson. While the trial moves forward, Kris begins to uncover undisclosed details concerning the case that continue to emulate the crime committed over a decade ago--details which even Barrett finds difficult to believe. Two separate and distinct stories emerge--Kris continues her investigation outside the courthouse, while inside the courtroom a battle rages as Barrett finds himself trying his own case, representing himself. He struggles as he attempts to weave his way through all the intricacies of trial procedure and somehow convince a jury to find him not guilty of a crime he never committed. As the trial concludes, both stories converge, resulting in an unforeseen, completely unpredictable conclusion.
