The Body in the Bungalow: A Supernatural Mystery Short (A Divine Detective Agency Mystery Book 1)

Meet Nick Dandino – P.I. in the sky. He runs the Divine Detective Agency. Were you murdered but can’t remember who killed you? Nick will solve your case so you can rest in peace.

Nick Dandino is a hard-boiled private dick. He loves Starbucks caramel macchiatos and taking long, hot baths. His office is next to the reception center in heaven where the newly deceased are processed. When a soul has been murdered, they have no memory of their death, and it’s Nick’s job to find out who killed them. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. When he dons a traveling suit, Nick can walk on Earth as one of the living.

The Body in the Bungalow introduces us to Nick and his assistant, Pris. This case revolves around a young woman named Dee who comes to Nick to find out how she died. In the course of his investigation, Nick goes to the Jersey shore where the 1960s are in full swing. Long-haired boys, mini-skirted girls, and memories of hamburgers at Jenkison’s on the boardwalk at Point Pleasant. At first, dames with secrets and cops on the take hinder Nick’s progress, and Nick smells a rat. Can he find Dee’s killer before the trail grows cold?

Beyond the Gates (The Starborn Redemption Book 1)

The Containment Zone is a 500-mile radius surrounded by mountains and closed in by gates. No one can leave, and anyone who tries will die.

Others say the people inside are little more than lab rats being studied by the nefarious Screven government.

When twelve-year-old Skylar and her father, Liam, are caught trying to escape, they are taken to Vulture Hill, a government prison camp no one has ever left alive. Inside the prison, Skylar learns that the facility is little more than a testing site for finding people of a certain bloodline—the Starborn. These are people with special powers that manifests in various spectacular ways, and Screven wants to exploit them.

Shocking Paris: Soutine, Chagall and the Outsiders of Montparnasse

For a couple of decades before World War II, a group of immigrant painters and sculptors, including Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine and Jules Pascin dominated the new art scene of Montparnasse in Paris. Art critics gave them the name “the School of Paris” to set them apart from the French-born (and less talented) young artists of the period. Modigliani and Chagall eventually attained enormous worldwide popularity, but in those earlier days most School of Paris painters looked on Soutine as their most talented contemporary. Willem de Kooning proclaimed Soutine his favorite painter, and Jackson Pollack hailed him as a major influence.
