Book Description
Ordinarily Sarah, Book II – Relentless has a prophetic word for the dark times our world is experiencing today. At its core, the book describes a real-life battle between good and evil as it presents itself in the life of one family. Evil is real. Evil destroys. Evil can take any form it believes will be effective. And evil can appear anywhere, at any time it chooses. Sometimes just beyond the next corner. Sometimes as soon as next month ..., or next week ..., or tomorrow! Sometimes as soon as the next moment. Evil can cause great harm to us – even death – if we are not prepared to enter into battle with it. This book raises these questions: How do we recognize evil, how can we prepare for battle against it, and how can we find God in the midst of it all.

SOME THINGS ARE BEST LEFT BURIED! Why would anyone opposes the building of a local sports complex destined for use by local inner-city kids? It’s less than a 3-acre plot of land located in the dinkiest part of town. Previously used as a military detention center, the land was ignored for over 10 years before a local community organization decided to make use of it by proposing the building of the sports complex... Powerful city officials came out to post their protests, and other dignitaries, including the mayor spoke against the Project. Members of the area’s military command allegedly sent its people to ensure the excavation of the Plot does not take place... Then people began turning up dead... The two young journalists who first reported the abnormalities surrounding the building of the much-needed sports venue are being attacked, chased, fire bombed, and stalked... Local construction workers, including an archaeologist and two engineers were first offered bribes, threatened, then mysteriously disappeared... The PLOT is a story specifically written for movie by Horatio M Bennett, Jamaican-born author. Bennett’s earlier book, “A Second Chance, Unleashing the Power of Good...” is being touted also for a movie project... The twists and turns in this story will have you captivated; guessing, enthralled and enveloped in suspense and anxiety... That is The PLOT!

Book Description
The period up to the Cold War of the late twentieth century was a time of great social, economic, political, and religious changes. New discoveries in medicine eliminated epidemics and increased life expectancy. Inventions such as the automobile, telephone, radio, television, airplanes and rocketry revolutionized our lives. We experienced major world wars and the disaster of a great depression. Millions of people emigrated to the United States during this time, seeking personal freedom, ownership of property, stable family lives and a chance to prosper It's God's Will describes the life of an Irish immigrant girl who lived for almost one hundred years during this great period of change. Through it all she never swayed from her beliefs in a supreme being, the power of prayer, the closeness of family, and the necessity to serve her country. Her prayers, precepts and goals are still applicable today.

Book Description
Sarah Avery's reckless behavior has cost her a job, her boyfriend, and the independence she desperately craves. Reluctantly home for the holidays in the Bay of Fires, a tiny seaside town on the Tasmanian coast, she hopes for a calm, quiet visit, with time to reflect on all that's gone wrong. Those hopes are crushed when, early one morning, she discovers the body of a young female backpacker washed up on the shore. A year earlier, another woman went missing and hasn't been seen since. Now everyone wonders: is there a killer in the brush? Or were these women victims of Tasmania itself? The island is place of savage beauty: pristine sand beneath orange-lichen covered granite boulders; heaving shadowy kelp fields; sweeping cold currents; crackling bush beyond the seashore. It's also a landscape as flawed, vulnerable and vengeful as any human. Once its fragile peace is shattered, the locals' anxiety fuels a string of speculations about happened to the women - and who might be the next victim. When journalist Hall Flynn arrives to investigate, haunted by recent failures and yearning for a fresh start, he's determined to do whatever it takes to break the story, and Sarah is his best source of local information. But Sarah - like everyone else in this close-knit town - has secrets she's desperate to keep hidden. And one of those secrets leads straight to a killer's door. Haunting, evocative, as wildly atmospheric as the remote island where it takes place, Bay of Fires is a startling and wholly original debut.
