Fire Sale Tales In Fire Sale and The Sisigwad Papers you learned about the town of Sisigwad, its dark secret and even darker history. Fire Sale Tales is a collection of stories involving longtime residents and visitors just unfortunate enough to pass through town... and then some. From the early trappers, who made Sisigwad their base camp, facing a harsh winter and an unspeakable evil to the festering greed of long dead miners influencing the living. Or the mysterious disappearance of a contract killer for the Purple Gang and what really happened to him, to a returning combat veteran returning from the horrors of the European Campaign experiencing flashbacks and premonitions. To some 1960's Flower Children finding out that "Back to Nature" has more than one definition. These and other stories help to explain the enigma of the town of Sisigwad from its earliest days to its unbelievable end.

A year after the events in Bram Stoker's Dracula, unrelated but similar diabolical occurrences took place in the Great Lakes area of a young United States. Evil has booked passage aboard the Great American as it sets sail for Chicago. Aware of the ship's dark reputation of death and mysterious mishap, a desperate crew composed of a murderous convict, two priests, a doctor of sorts and able-bodied misfits falls prey one by one to a formidable evil on the open sea. It's old-school vampires inspired by Bram Stoker's original vampire tale as well as the Hammer films, told with originality by a new voice in horror fiction.

If you liked the spine-tingling, Stoker-inspired terror of Shadows In the Dark, then you will love the collection of related stories that takes place around the same point at the turn of the 19th century around the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes have always been filled with beauty, awe and mystery. Now they offer up waves of frightening tales of suspense and terror. From Flying Dutchman-like Mariners to an unspeakable evil transported back to Chicago from its Egyptian Tomb, to a ship's log revealing it was more than just a storm which killed its crew, to vengeful ghosts and big fish tales. These stories are sure to give you pause about ever journeying into the Great Lakes regions at night, or ever going anywhere near them....alone.

In Fire Sale, you discovered that the Upper Peninsula town of Sisigwad had a decades old curse upon it. With the Sisigwad Papers, you learn that this small Michigan hamlet has always had a strange and somewhat curious history. A history that was rarely talked about and only in whispers. Influenced by its unique geographical location and some of its inhabitants, Sisigwad has long been shrouded in mystery and dark secrets long forgotten by the fog of time. Until now. From it's earliest days and beginnings to its current ghost town status, Sisigwad has bore witness to the weird and wonderful, as well as the unbelievable and the uncanny. Like so many in its past, you will be asking, what is it about Sisigwad?

Death and destruction have a name: Shane Colby He is a professional, the best of the very best. No job too big or small. Always out on top, always ahead. His special forces training and uncanny sixth sense are what he survives on. Often by long odds, Shane Colby killed the worst and most sadistic people humanity had to offer. But can the best hitman there is face true evil itself? Will he finish his last assignment or will he fall victim to not just it, but a legion of obstacles that stand in his way?

In some cases you get exactly what you pay for. It was said that the upper peninsula town of Sisigwad was cursed. That it had been, ever since that dark and terrible night, so many decades ago. A deadly act of violence by some drunken, greedy men helped unleash an unspeakable evil upon the town. One that unyieldingly persists in tainting the land. Not only was Sisigwad cursed, it was for sale...cheap. Cheap and scenic enough for businessman Al Cashman to build his resort and casino. So when he decides to buy up the Northern Michigan hamlet, as part of the plan, he ends up getting more than he ever bargained for. Because, not only did he buy a town, he bought the curse that plagues it as well. Which in some cases proves, you not only get what you pay for, but what you deserve...

Book I is a new physics hypothesis. From a silly na?ve idea, it began paralleling current physics in many intriguing ways. Are these all just co-incidences? From polarized particles, to unexpectedly matching the periodic table, to what energy is, and an ether that dilates rather than illogical "space-time". Could this be the long sought after simpler explanation of physics? Book II is theological writings, and a new interpretation of Daniel and Revelation in the Bible. The author claims it to be much more complete as to matching clues given in these mysterious books, and much more relevant to actual history than the current Rapture/Anti-Christ interpretation that is so well known. Book III is primarily about the urgent problem of overpopulation. Both books II and III are interspersed with traditional conservative thoughts on politics, social order, economics and government, including the distillation of logical ideas on good government down to a few simple principles.

This is an account of the Lord God calling me into the ministry, preparing me, and sending me to the Philippine Islands as a missionary.While I was preparing to go, He told me not to become associated with any other ministry. That meant I would be totally on my own.After that, He told me not to raise any financial support, but to trust Him, and He would supply all of my needs. Because I was not associated with anyone else, I had to go to the Philippines on a tourist visa and could, therefore, not do anything there to support myself or my ministry.Because of these restrictions, I was totally dependent on the Lord for everything. When He showed me that He had sent out the twelve apostles in the same way, I was very encouraged.He [Jesus] commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff-no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts. (Mark 6:8)He sent out the seventy the same way: "After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, saying to them, 'Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the road.'" (Luke 10:1a, 4)This book is an account of the first eight years of that assignment and how the Lord God Almighty became my friend and companion as we walked together, talked together, and worked together and of His provision as He and I ministered His Gospel.
