THE FIRST BOOK IS A "COZY" MYSTERY  ! 

189 pages
Published August 1st 2017 by Journey Fiction

Inspired by the famous Girl Detective, the members of the Olentangy Heights Girls' Detective Society, affectionately known as the Nosy Parkers, spent their formative years studying criminology, codes, and capers. Unfortunately, opportunities to put their unique skills to work were thin on the ground in the post-war boom of their little corner of suburbia and they eventually grew up to pursue more sensible careers. Until...​

Heather Munro's youthful devotion to The Girl Detective led to a passion for digging around in history. Now pursuing her Master's Degree in Celtic Studies, Heather must balance exploring Edinburgh with her determination to excel in her all-male classes at the University.

Unfortunately, on her first night working in the Archives room, she discovers the dead body of a visiting professor, the same would-be lothario she'd hoped never to see again. As clues come to light, it's clear someone hopes to frame Heather for the murder. Besides her quirky landlady, whom can she trust? How can she clear her name? The police and the American Consul have plenty of suspects, but only two seem to have both motive and opportunity: Heather and the quiet Scottish historian she longs to trust.

THIS SECOND BOOK IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CHRISTIAN INSTITUTIONS AND FAMILIES! THIS IS A SIMPLE NATIVITY DRAMA THAT CAN BE PORTRAYED BY 6 CHARACTERS UP TO 25 CHARACTERS. IT WILL BE A SIMPLE YET INSPIRING PRODUCTION!​

​Synopsis of the Nativity Pageant Adapted by Neil K. Johnson


Most of us Christians have often participated in, or watched, dramatizations of the nativity pageant at Christmas time. We know the thrill children have in performing it, as well as the enjoyment of the adults. We also know how there are usually many mistakes in these often-hastily prepared productions that diminish the potential effect of this great story.

This script of the Nativity Pageant dramatization (from the King James Version of the New Testament) is a simple dramatization of the events surrounding the birth of our Savior. Its purpose is to present the six scenes of the nativity in a meaningful, yet simple, way.

​Some of the highlights are having two narrators and giving very simple, but effective stage movement to the actors. It can be effectively presented with as few as six actors or as many as 25, so it's ideal for presentations in either home or church. It takes about 15 minutes total performance time if you choose to do all 6 scenes.

Struggling to forget a crumbling marriage, forty-year-old Anna Lucia Lottol comes to Venice to visit an old friend--but instead of finding solace, she is dragged into the police station and accused of murdering a money-laundering count with whom she had a brief affair. A US Treasury officer with brains and athleticism, Anna fights to clear her name in a seductive city full of watery illusions. As she works to pry information from a cast of recalcitrant characters sometimes denying what she sees and hears, she succeeds in unleashing a powerful foe bent on destroying her. Will she save herself and vanquish her enemies, including her darkest fears? A captivating tapestry of murder, betrayal, and family, Venetian Blood is a story of one woman's brave quest for the truth --before it's too late.
