Neighborhood Watch


Neighborhood Watch


Kirkus Reviews calls Kevin Kenealy's psychological thriller Neighborhood Watch a book filled with "Superb characters [that] headline this chilling, slow-burn crime tale."

When the Caseys move into affluent Ridgeport, Ill. in search of a better life for their newborn Scott, they are surprised to find a book entitled, Ridgeport Welcomes You: Procedures and Guidelines for Happy Living.

Although mom Loretta Casey is hesitant to live by Ridgeport’s strict rules, all that changes when she meets her neighbor Sue Ellen Norris.

Sue Ellen serves on the Neighborhood Watch Committee, overseeing the safety of the town, and Loretta becomes engrossed in Sue Ellen’s addictive personality. But as Loretta’s son Scott and Sue Ellen’s son Matt grow, they discover that Ridgeport is not as perfect as their moms make it out to be. As Scott and Matt form their band of friends, their journeys into the neighborhood woods prove to be much more than just a place of refuge.

Every Awful Thing


Every Awful Thing: Flash Fiction and Poems


S.E. Bourne is a New England born writer who has written one book of flash fiction and poetry, Every Awful Thing: covering the themes of childhood, the natural world, dreamscapes, and aging.

A novice author with a distinctive style, identifiable by a barebones flow.

Bourne has worked as a waitress, cook, chambermaid, laundress, barker, and secretary. Much of her early 20s was spent traveling through the United States and living in hostels with foreigners.

She once hitchhiked from Valdez to Anchorage, Alaska, and it only took two rides. Oh, and one bear encounter.

The Organizing Idea

 


The Organizing Idea:

A Return to Good and Evil


The Organizing Idea is the individual’s manual for thriving in the current mass psychosis, and a weapon against the post-totalitarian system. Simpson asserts that we live in a world that not only assumes, but attempts to enforce the idea that there is nothing other than 'this', which leads to societal dysfunction, rejection of personal responsibility, and a specific form of totalitarianism. He examines contradiction at both the societal and individual level to trace the current mass psychosis to its primary enabler. In doing so, he exposes the contradictory values, actions, and beliefs inherent in our systems, institutions, and norms.

“There is a sort of schizophrenia in our world today where “anything is possible” but at the same time “nothing matters” because all of ‘this’ came from nowhere, is not going anywhere, exists for no reason, and we know this beyond a shadow of a doubt...”

This book takes the reader on a journey through “A sea of contradictions”, explicates how we all came to be so contradictory, and challenges the most sacred philosophical and scientific axioms that we have. The journey includes a history of ‘this’ and ‘other than this’ and reflects on historical moments of thriving when these two ideas were in balance, and societal collapse when they were not. Ultimately, this book is a phenomenological account of Projection and a theory about how all of ‘this’ works. This book is not for the faint of heart, as Simpson’s approach is extremely combative and brutally insightful. However, for those who can endure it, this is a journey that will not soon be forgotten. It empowers the individual with a life philosophy that simply cannot be shut down.

Fair Winds of Death

 


Fair Winds of Death


Decades before NCIS became a television hit drama series, the real men and women of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), both Navy and civilian personnel, solved case after case around the world without the help of personal computers, cell phones, DNA, or the Internet. They had to rely on dangerous street work, investigative skills, logic, experience, and information derived from informants to put the bad guys in the brig. And sometimes, plain old luck was the key factor.

In 1971, Lieutenant Commander Marcus Colt is the top internal affairs investigator for the NIS Washington D.C. headquarters. When the unusual cases come across the desks of the top Navy brass, this decorated officer is the one who gets handed the job. He is intelligent and driven to always succeed, but his somewhat short temper and touch of sarcasm can complicate things. For this latest case, his youthful looks and uncanny investigative skills are essential as he goes undercover as a junior enlisted man in Norfolk, Virginia. 

His mission is challenging: quickly find and stop the leaks of sensitive NIS information that have resulted in the murders of at least four confidential informants on the Norfolk Navy Base. To accomplish this difficult task, he has to build close relationships with all the personnel in the NIS unit, invade their privacy, and dig up all their secrets all while keeping his true identity and mission from them.

As the case takes unexpected twists and turns, loss of an old love, meeting a high-ranking officer’s daughter, avoiding assassins, and overcoming his own personal guilt from a previous Vietnam mission add complexity to the assignment. But both new and old friends and coworkers give Marcus the help he needs as he works to solve this case before time runs out and someone else dies.

Author Bio

Billy R. Wade, Jr. enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1969. After being called to active duty, he graduated top of his class from both basic training at Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando, Florida and Yeoman ‘A’ School at NTC Bainbridge, Maryland. 

After this training, he was assigned to the Naval Investigative Service Office in Norfolk, Virginia for nearly two years in the early 1970s. While there on active duty, he earned the Navy’s Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon with ribbon device ‘S’ after qualifying as a Sharpshooter with the standard sidearm at that time, the 1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol. 

He left active service as a Petty Officer Third Class. While it was not required, Bill spent three additional years as a weekend reservist at his local Navy Reserve Center assisting with the clerical demands of the center, a Seabee unit, and a training course development unit.  

He holds degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, and studied marketing at the University of South Florida. Born in Roanoke, Virginia, he spent his teen years and much of his adult life in the Tampa Bay area of Florida before escaping to the mountains of West Virginia. 

While new to fiction writing, Bill has written several technical “how-to” articles that were published in hobby magazines. And he is nearly finished with the next adventure for his Fair Winds protagonist, Marcus Colt. He attributes his new love of fiction writing to surviving brain surgery a few years ago. As Bill phrases it, some of the connections in his brain have found “new and definitely different pathways.” 

In addition to writing, he owns and operates a hobby kit manufacturing business on his property in rural West Virginia. Bill helps the local volunteer animal shelter by fostering rescue animals with special needs. When not cutting firewood or shoveling snow, he spends his little free time staying proficient with his Colt 1911 .45 pistol to better assist with security at his church.

The Republic of Virginia

 


The Republic of Virginia:

Brothers and Battlelines of 1861


Tensions are running high in Virginia. On April 4th, 1861, the Virginia state legislature had voted not to secede from the union, but Fort Sumter was fired upon eight days later. This set in motion a chain of events that led to President Abraham Lincoln to not only call up thousands of volunteers but directly ask for three militia regiments from Virginia to join the army being raised in Washington. Virginia’s governor, John Letcher, felt that this was unconstitutional. When the legislature voted again on April 17th, the vote to secede carried, it has been two weeks since that vote, and now a delegation from the Confederate Congress has traveled to Richmond to negotiate the role Virginia will play in the upcoming conflict. Will she join the newly formed confederacy under President Jefferson Davis, or will she stand alone? Will she declare herself an independent republic just as Texas had done 25 years before? What if Virginia had declared herself a republic and stood independently in the face of the federal government?
