About Slugger by T.B. O'Neill

A complex thriller seeped in genuine courtroom drama and high intensity action.

“Murder or the attempt thereof often occurs while others sleep.” And thus begins a story where danger insinuates itself into the course of ordinary lives. Rod Cavanaugh was in fact a regular guy. Suited for his job as a criminal lawyer, he adores his girls and loves his scotch. When the bottom fell out of his marriage and his family splintered he thought he had enough to deal with – mistakes of his doing that needed to be corrected – but that was before he became the target of a client, in a deadly game that put what was left at risk. Who he thought he was, his place in the scheme of things, will be challenged by a killer who stalks and bides his time. Only Cavanaugh can stop the carnage, uncover the evil. But the price to pay may be innocence itself.

"A roman à clef based on a lawyer's journal puts him in the cross hairs in this legal thriller…. (O'Neill) orchestrates his complicated, twisty plot toward an unexpected and satisfying conclusion…. A well-plotted and dense courtroom tale." (Kirkus Reviews).

The Frontenac Sisters: Supernatural Sleuths & Monster Hunters–Case No. 1, Wicked Innocents by S.H. Livernois

Leave a Comment

“About The Frontenac Sisters: Supernatural Sleuths & Monster Hunters–Case No. 1, Wicked Innocents:

Everyone is good at heart. Until the heart is broken.
Nelly Huggett swears something took her mother, brother, and father. She doesn’t know what, or when, or how. And she needs Hyla and Lizeth Frontenac to bring them all back.

Trouble is, her story doesn’t make sense. Though one thing is certain: something evil has infected the Huggett house. And when Nelly reveals her sinister side, the sisters wonder if the monster they seek is masquerading as a little girl.

But Hyla won’t accept that. She can’t lose another child to darkness. She knows Nelly’s just different, wild, misunderstood.

But what if she’s wrong?

Wherever this evil comes from, it’s dragging Hyla into the abyss faster than she can chase the clues.
And she may lose herself before she can save anyone else.

Wicked Innocents is the first, free installment in a series of three books that combine a good old-fashioned amateur sleuth (two, in fact), with spine-tilling suspense, just enough horror to keep you on the edge of your seat, and the heart-pumping adrenaline of a fast-paced thriller.

Sleuths and sisters Hyla and Lizeth Frontenac run their own unique private investigator business from a small town in the Adirondacks. But they’re more often in their 1972 Ford Econoline van, driving across rural America to investigate their next case.

They’re not technically professionals, not really. The crimes they investigate are more dark and disturbing than the average. More…bizarre. Criminals are cloaked as supernatural creatures, occult forces threaten them at every turn, and the confused victims demand justice.

Lucky for the victims, when these women sleuths are on the case, no monster is safe.

For Kindle readers who enjoy a strong female lead protagonist, this thrilling series of paranormal private investigator mysteries will have you hooked from the first word. From the twisted imagination of mystery, suspense and thriller writer S.H. Livernois.

Bully Boys by Kevin Bradley

Leave a Comment

“About Bully Boys:

Boarding school has always been seen as an opportunity to get a good education, and to learn a bit about the realities of life…. But just what does that mean?

Unfortunately in the past and possibly even still today, that has meant children having to endure a certain amount of bullying and brutality, from fellow students and also from the teaching staff!

This book consists of a collection of incidents experienced by a young man called Hedge, along with a few of his friends, during their teenage years at boarding school.

Hedge is one of the main characters in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole Thriller Series by Kevin Bradley.

Bully Boys is a one-off collection, and can be read as a supplement to the Hedge & Cole series, or as a perfectly entertaining book in its own right.

Many of the events are brutal and sadistic. Others are just simply bullying at its worst. But all of them help to explain part of the makeup of Hedge’s nervous personality.

Some of the situations described in this collection are from existing Hedge & Cole thrillers, whilst others are completely new material.

Most of the experiences detailed here relate to bullying that occurred during Hedge’s time at Upperdale College, but some of them are on a lighter theme, and there are several incidents that he would have been only too pleased to remember!
