The idea for this story actually happened on Christmas Eve in 1968. Three of my girlfriends and I were riding around in my 1954 Ford, I called her Beulah, and as we made our fifth trip around the Dairy Delite, we began talking about the old house in Matthews. Linda D. shouted from the backseat above the Turtles singing "It Ain't Me Babe" on KTSA AM Radio. I couldn't afford the new FM radios yet, but no matter, it sounded good playing from the twenty speakers I installed before "surround sound" became a thought in anyone's mind.Well, I've always been creative in my mind. I suppose that's why Terry Causey and I wrote a science fiction novel in the sixth grade, which I wish I could find in all my keepsakes. No such luck.But, back to my carload of girlfriends. I told Linda D. she was crazy to even think about exploring the old house. We might get caught. Almost simultaneously, Loueva K. and Frances H. said, "chicken!"Well, do you think a first-string linebacker on the Eagle Lake High School football team was going to back down from that? You've got another thing coming.So, off we went to Matthews, Texas.

In the heart of Texas, nestled within the expansive plains and under the vast, azure skies, lies the quaint town of Eagle Lake. It was here, amid the gentle hum of small-town life and the tranquil beauty of the surrounding nature, that Sidney St. James' story unfolds. Sidney's educational journey began at the local kindergarten, a small, welcoming building, Mrs. Kveton's Kindergarten, where he first encountered the ABCs and 123s and, more importantly, forged his initial friendships. Amidst the academic pursuits and extracurricular activities, Sidney was also an athlete. Eagle Lake High was known for its competitive spirit, and Sidney was a key player on the football and baseball teams. The journey to the state championships was a thrilling adventure, filled with hard-fought victories and the inevitable setbacks, each a lesson in resilience and teamwork.Within the high school's modest science lab walls, Sidney and his friends, Russell, Donnie, and Danny, embarked on their most ambitious project yet-a time machine. Fueled by youthful optimism and the boundless possibilities of science, they worked tirelessly, poring over textbooks, experimenting with various theories and technologies, and engaging in spirited debates about the ethics and implications of time travel.Their efforts unexpectedly bore fruit--a time machine, a patchwork of wires, metal, and sheer willpower, became a reality. Their first journey took them back to a pivotal moment in American history-the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The next journey was even more audacious. Propelled by a desire to glimpse the future of humanity, the crew of seniors set the machine's dials to one hundred years ahead, but a malfunction sent them 8,000 years ahead. What they found was beyond their wildest imaginations-Earth, or what was left of it, was inhabited by aliens. Amidst these extraordinary adventures, Sidney's heart belonged to Eagle Lake, the life he knew, and the people he cherished. Central to this was his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, a bond that had blossomed from innocent playground companionship to a deep, enduring love. She was his anchor, a reminder of every day's beauty, dreams, and hopes that didn't require time travel to pursue.However, this idyllic romance was threatened by the machinations of Johnny Masters, a figure shadowed by jealousy and spite. Once a friend, Johnny had turned into a saboteur, driven by a desire to undermine Sidney at every turn. The climax of this rivalry came when Johnny attempted to sabotage the time machine, an act that could have erased Sidney's very existence and all the moments he cherished.The confrontation between Sidney and Johnny was a battle of wits and wills and a test of character. It was a defining moment for Sidney, a realization that the accurate measure of a person lies not in their successes or the marvels they achieve but in their ability to face adversity, protect what is dear to them, and persevere with integrity.As Sidney stood on the brink of graduation, the future sprawling before him like an uncharted map, he understood that his journey through time had imparted lessons far beyond the realms of science. It had taught him about the fragility of life, the interconnectedness of history, and the enduring power of love and friendship.With its serene landscapes and the gentle rhythms of small-town life, Eagle Lake had nurtured a son who had ventured through the corridors of time, only to find that the most profound adventures were those that took place in the heart. Sidney St. James, a boy from a humble town, had looked into the past and the future only to realize that the present, with all its simplicity and complexity, was where life's true magic lay.

Sidney St. James wrote "The Final Curtain Call," a renowned detective novel that exemplifies the locked-room mystery subgenre in detective fiction. In these stories, a crime, typically a murder, occurs under seemingly impossible circumstances.The story unfolds in the gloomy, fog-laden Oak Hill area of Austin's West End. It begins with the shocking discovery of Ronald D. Parks' gruesome murder. Someone has cut his throat in his room, which was locked from the inside, and secured the windows, creating the perfect 'locked room' scenario. The absence of minimal struggle signs and a missing murder weapon only deepen the mystery.Detectives Vincent James Gideon and Eddie Fisher lead the investigation. Gideon, a retired detective known for his unorthodox methods and deep criminal mind insights, contrasts with Fisher, his more conventional rival. Their different investigative approaches bring an intriguing dynamic to the story.The real Sidney St. James, not his novel's character, explores the lives of various characters linked to Ronnie Parks. These include his landlady, Mrs. Jenkins, and Morton Parker, an aspiring political candidate for Governor in Texas, who once found himself in a love triangle with Parks and a woman named Kathy Scott. The narrative delves into themes of social injustice, political activism, and the intricacies of human relationships.James uses wit and a satirical tone to critique his era's societal issues. He also parodies the detective genre, primarily through the competitive and contrasting styles of Gideon and Fisher.The novel's unexpected and ingenious resolution features a clever twist that challenges readers' assumptions and showcases Sidney St. James' mastery of the genre. "The Final Curtain Call" is a pivotal work in detective fiction and provides insightful commentary on Austin, Texas's political landscape.The novel stands out for its innovative plot, memorable characters, and significant contribution to detective fiction.

REFUGE OF DEATHA KISS FOR A KISS A University of Texas graduate student in archeology named Jerimiah Johnson is exploring a region along the cliffs of the Perdernales River near Spicewood, Texas. He was alone, finding markings from long ago in some of the caves on the hillside.The ground began to shake, and he got caught up in an avalanche that came faster than God himself on a skateboard. One minute he was fine, and then, the limestone dust and rocks were on top of him at the bottom of the cliff along the side of the river. He loses consciousness. Then, Johnson awakens to find that Rip Van Winkle has nothing on him, as he has evidently slept for unknown millennia, awakening in a completely different world... another time and another place.Humanity has evolved into a long-lived but rather sexless race, and the population is dwindling.

And, once a year, there's the Festival of the Dream Flowers.Johnson, our leading character in the novel, thought he had met the love of his life, but there were so many aspects of himself he needed to squash to become what she wanted.There are parts of the book, especially regarding the subjects of motherhood and grief, that you will find very touching and emotional. In addition, you might find it interesting to study the psychology of Johnson's slow adjustment to the culture. He is also a more fleshed-out character than many of the other wooden mouthpieces recounting events in far-back history.

LollapaloozaThe Case of the Woman in BlackAnother Detective Vincent James Gideon Novel In this continuing Whodunnit Series, Vincent James Gideon is walking on Broadway in downtown Black Rock Cove when a three-alarm fire burns a three-story building. He rushes to the scene and stares up and sees a young girl standing on a window ledge with smoke billowing out on all sides. The detective doesn't hesitate. After all, he is now a world-famous detective and a natural-born brave man!The novel continues as he packs his bags and heads out to a small community north of BRC known as Rock Island. There, he begins investigating supernatural powers at work in the O'Dell Mansion. Before he leaves to return from a first visit and gets knocked into unconsciousness, he runs into Stoney Wright, the District Attorney, and Doctor Jeremy Thomas, a well-respected surgeon in the city. He calls on them to assist him in investigating several deaths that have gone unsolved and a town that is on edge. On his return, he goes undercover as Charlie Johnson. All clues and evidence point to a Woman in Black that has been seen at the exact location where three murders have taken place. Who is she? Why is she always seen at the murder scene? Why have two men who witnessed the murders suddenly been found dead of a heart attack? Is there any truth to what the servants say about blaming the murders on the supernatural?

In my first novel of the Omega Chronicles, "OMEGA - The Lost City of Altinova," the story failed to discuss the adventurer's first three years on the island until they discovered the mystery around so many different things that happened that couldn't be explained. In this book, Book 2 of the series, we discuss their first three years of abandonment. This novel written four years later is actually the prequel to Omega - The Lost City of Altinova.

The Eagle Lake Fire Department sounds off its siren at straight-up noon, informing all the residents in the community it "was time to eat." The Lakeside Museum began to empty out of those attending for the lunchtime call. The few people still lingering among the interesting displays of the great museum were suddenly startled by the sight of one of the uniformed guards racing down the red longleaf pine steps of the main staircase, shouting! Justin Thomas raced up, 16 points ahead in the latest poll for Governor of Texas, shouting, "Lock the doors! No one is to leave the building!" After a brief moment, Thomas, the Director of the Museum, and others ran up the stairs to find a beautiful young woman, not more than eighteen years of age, lying on the cold wooden floor with an arrow protruding from the center of her chest. No one could believe what their eyes were telling them. A quick call was placed into Eagle Lake Headquarters, and lo and behold, a veteran detective who had made Eagle Lake his home in his seventies, answered the call. It was no other than Vincent James Gideon! To the people in Eagle Lake, he was best known only by his last name, GIDEON. He looked around the museum and asked his sidekick, TJ Johnson, to make a list of names. There were twenty-one witnesses that said they saw nothing. How could that be? Someone must be lying, but who?

The problem is, one night started like all the rest, with his arrival at Sid's Cabaret in Portland, the home of famed theater star, Valentina Clemente. When the evening first started, he could remember everything. However, the next instant, his mind goes blank. He can't remember what happened the rest of the night when an assassin took his grandfather's life in Black Rock Cove, or how he ended up on the floor of an abandoned farmhouse a few hundred yards away from his grandfather's house the next morning.As he awoke, he sensed a chill in the air, a shimmer of mist. The trees of the forest by the lake became slightly out of focus, like that of a poorly taken photograph. It wasn't until Sebastian got closer, it congealed into a form... a woman dressed in red with silver skin and a predator's smile.All became silent while he watched the woman skirt along the edges of the stagnant lake. Then, without warning, he found himself on his back, looking up at a person wearing a red and black ski mask. He shook his head back and forth and heard the words from what he thought was the woman in red, but the words were said in a man's voice with a rasping tone of a one-pack a day smoker. "Have you come to play, Sebastian?" Sebastian couldn't find words to say and only opened his mouth to scream.Then without warning, he found himself back on the dilapidated and deserted farmhouse floor. Abruptly, a chill rose up his spine making him shiver. Something was here with him. He could feel it! A voice, hoarse and faint echoed around him, coming from the adjacent room in the farmhouse. Sebastian slowly turned his head over his shoulder, and the whispering came to a stop. The air chilled to ice and his labored breathing was the only sound he could hear. It was hanging down from the ceiling, crawling ever so slowly, closer and closer... dark and brooding.Crick. Creakkkk. Screechhhhh."Stop it! You're not real. Leave me alone!" Sebastian had played in the old farmhouse as a child and knew it was but a few hundred yards to his grandfather's house. Without hesitation, he rushed out the door and hurried down the pathway, his heart pounding the entire way. The sun already climbed into the morning sky.On reaching the courtyard, he stopped and vividly pictured the old place during his childhood. The walls didn't seem so gray when he was a young boy, nor did they look so small. In his mind, he pictured the place as though it were a castle where his cousin and he were the prince and princess of the home.The door opened. Mister Albert was there with the bad news. "Mister Sebastian, where have you been? Your grandfather has been murdered!"
