Rise and Fall

Louise Alden learnt from a young age that you can't change the cards that life deals you; you just have to learn how to play the game. With money in her pocket and a new boyfriend at her side, life on the estate has never been better. Until Louise uncovers a deadly secret; now nothing will ever be the same again. Jerell Morgan was born evil. Even his Bible preaching grandma, who raised him back home in Kingston, Jamaica, couldn't drive away the wickedness that festered inside him as a child. Now busy making a name for himself, Jerell is prepared to do whatever it takes to live the life that he has always dreamt of. He is on the rise, and London doesn't know what's about to hit it. Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall. ~ William Shakespeare

2 Seeds in Dubai!

A humorous recount of a journey through the judicial system of the United Arab Emirates after 2 Seeds of Cannabis are discovered in some luggage by a Dubai customs officer. After being thrown into the Dubai detention facility with a promise of four years incarceration, the only hope is deportation, which is preferable to being locked up with the individuals that occupy the joint. Sadly, each and every word is true, and you can even ask the Sheik. It is the United Nation's opinion this book should be required reading before, even considering, a jaunt to the United Arab Emirates. It is indisputable reading if you, or a loved one, or even someone you dislike, has been arrested in that Arab nation. Due to the writing style of the author, the book is intended for an audience that doesn't flinch when coming across profanity, although it has had excellent responses from sixteen to sixty.

The Other Side of Reality

This is a collection of ideas I have had over the years as inspiration for novels. They range from science fiction, fantasy, drama, romance and just plain stories. They started out as a few sentences or ideas. I then tried to write novels and had over twenty four false starts. I had enough to make this collection of short stories and decided to publish them.

The Blue Girl Murders

In THE BLUE GIRL MURDERS, a series of gruesome murders of beautiful young blondes rocks Baltimore during the summer of 1966 when the city already is in turmoil from a police scandal and from enormous racial tension resulting from desegregation efforts by the Congress of Racial Equality and White Power rallies by the National States Rights Party.

The cultural, political and social changes, great music and historic events of 1966 provide the backdrop and themes of this historical mystery. The author was a reporter for United Press International in Baltimore in 1966 and covered many of the events described in the novel.

Butterflies and Blueberry Wine

Paul looked up. The sky itself seemed ablaze; as if all life must be purged from a violated wilderness in retribution for mans presumption and negligence. Then fierce heat settled around him again. Flames above leaped and roared in great red licks. He waited hopelessly, his whole being outraged because of what this nightmare in vivid Technicolor was doing. In his anguish, he thought of Lynn, and he saw her face before him. She was smiling. He heard her voice whisper, I am here, my love. Hold but for a minute longer. Then the turbulence died down, as though something up there had relented.

Jack Ramsden, Cabinetmaker for Stage Magicians, died whilst preparing his annual presentation for his wife's birthday. It was meant to be an ingenious demonstration of Magic and Illusion until it all went wrong. Jack was killed by a shot from a rifle on a stand. The puzzle was - he was alone in a locked room. Accident or suicide? Fourteen years later a cryptic letter from Laura, the daughter of the dead man, urges Giles Dawson, a historian of Magic and the Great Illusionists, to return to the family home in Scotland where he'd spent much of his boyhood, to help prove her father's death was Murder. The attempt to solve the Locked Room Mystery puts Giles in Danger with Fear and Dread constant companions. Will a death-defying Houdini-type illusion in the United States, just months before Jack's death, explain how a bottle-opener can open more than bottles ? Can an introduction to a bronze statue open his mind on the truth before death has again taken a cold hand in the proceedings?

Rust In The Wheat

After my publisher passed on this book I decided to self publish it. Here's why.I wrote my manuscript with a very strong dialect that was,and is prevalent in East TN, the Carolinas and Georgia,in the more rural Appalachian regions like i grew up in. My publisher thought it might only appeal to a small Appalachian reader base .So,I sat down to un-regionalize it, to strip away the dialect and unconventional grammar from it, but I couldn't. I felt I wasn't being true to it. I realize not many people will get it , but for those who will, it's worth it to me. Set in the Mid-80s, and told through the remembrances of 14 yr old Early Prichard,this is how Perky County found itself caught in the grip of corruption. How whiskey makers and runners,backroom dealings,and cold blooded murder led one man to start a county-wide war. The costly toll on the Prichard family,more specifically on Early, who really only wanted a normal life, may be more than it was worth in the end.

Collision Course

Sex, drugs, murder, and a lot of laughs are what make it hard to put down the latest work of fiction by LR Penn. Collision Course examines various facets of the American dream, contrasting the lifestyle inside the white picket fence with the fantasy world out in the fast lane. Three women are waging a 21st century version of the battle of the sexes as they search for personal fulfillment, but their intertwined lives are irreparably changed by a suspicious suicide. The novel's heroine, an alienated slacker with a strong libido, decides that she needs to get to the bottom of the mysterious death, and it is she who opens a Pandora's box from which bursts forth a whirling maelstrom of greed, adultery, and homicide. Despite a fast moving plot with an emphasis on suspense, eroticism, and irreverent humor, the narrative is richly textured and intellectually provocative. By the end of the book, who did what has been made clear, but the lines between hero and victim and villain have become blurred.
