2020 Independent Press Awards Distinguished Favorite in Mystery
2020 Eric Hoffer Award Finalist in Mystery

Can an agnostic be a minister? Can a pastor be an investigator? Driving someone to suicide might not be murder, but it’s certainly a sin.

Murder and metaphysics? Evan Wycliff is going through what theologians call the dark night of the soul. His curious, investigative mind keeps asking questions, whether about cosmology and the Big Bang or when or whether to pull the plug on a suffering patient here on Earth. He’s thinking he will reset his doubts when he returns home to rural Southern Missouri, but that’s where the Angel of Death catches up with him and he needs some answers even more than he did before.The area around Appleton City is my ancestral home on my mother’s side. Some of my boyhood experiences there inform Evan’s adventures and pranks with his friend Bob Taggart, who later either ended his own life or had help.

#2 in this series is Preacher Fakes a Miracle

About The Organ Pipes of the Soul: A Theodicy of Love and Reincarnation in a Desperate Afterlife by Robert Springer

The Organ Pipes of the Soul: A Theodicy of Love and Reincarnation in a Desperate Afterlife is a story about Arthur, an amnesiac who washes up on the Isle of the Dead only to discover as he recovers his memories that he is largely responsible for much of what goes on in this afterlife and why everything is going wrong. It’s a story of his search for the one love he waited thirty lifetimes — serial reincarnation as the same person trying to ‘get it right’ — to make his own. It’s a story about that love, Elle, a pianist “back home,” who arrives on the Waking Shore unsure whether she should reincarnate because Arthur had broken her heart in their short life together. Her story is her discovery of how her own strength and courage become the path of her transcendence. But The Organ Pipes of the Soul is also a story about a warrior woman who calls herself Coyote who wakes up in the afterlife with a hole where her heart should be. Coyote is a woman who never belonged anywhere in life, and who doesn’t feel she belongs in this afterlife, but in time realizes she is essential to its salvation. Hers is a story of her discovery of her own worth, and her discovery that love is possible even for a Coyote. The Organ Pipes of the Soul is a theodicy as well as an odyssey. It’s a story about second chances and second-death in a dangerous afterlife where the dead must reincarnate or perish — set in an afterlife that is under attack from a man who wants to end reincarnation using a machine that can create or destroy a cosmos and another who has discovered a way to absorb those in his care and set himself up as a god. It’s a theodicy about whether God is good and discovering destiny, about the moral dilemma of reincarnation, about faith and doubt and the victory of love.

Author Bio:
I am old enough to remember tube TVs and the novelty of transistor radios, I’ve seen a bit of life. Once a poor (bass guitar) player who strut his hour upon the stage (Austin TX and Niles Michigan) and then was heard (unrecorded bands) no more (after 30 years my fingers cannot remember the frets), I found I was a character in a story told by an idiot who after 20 years with a large publisher found my department was outsourced overseas (nevertheless, I deeply love India and my time there training my replacements was far too short). My writing pedigree is a crazy quilt with stretches of academic training and scraps of writing on paper towel rolls in an asphalt siding factory — all leading to becoming a late-life Master of Arts recipient as well as a happily married spouse, a parent, a grandfather of two, and much to my surprise, a Deacon in my mainline church. And yes, my gray locks are still full of Sound and Fury (not a Plymouth Fury actually, it was a ‘63 Chrysler Newport push-button drive gunboat called the “Stratocruiser”) — just me mad or give me coffee.

About Witch Dust: A Paranormal Comedy Thriller (Witch Series Book 1)

WHEN YOU GROW UP WATCHING YOUR FATHER CUT YOUR MOTHER IN HALF MOST NIGHTS,
IT’S HARD TO DEFINE NORMAL.

Daughter of Adam Adamovitch, God’s gift to women and Theatre, and the lovely Ophelia, who can throw a hissy fit faster and farther than anyone; life for Sandra was always going to have challenges. When Adam’s wandering eye lights on yet another conquest, it proves a chorus girl too far, and Sandra’s caught in the reverberations of an acrimonious parting.

Coerced into restoring her depressed mother to the bosom of a family Sandra never knew existed, she’s sucked into a situation that even for her – and she’s had years of bizarre – is seriously unnerving. One thing’s for sure, the sooner she puts as much distance as possible between herself and the newfound nearest and dearest with their alarming tendencies and failing hotel business, the happier she’ll be.

She just has to sort a few small issues – a possessed chef, a hanged housemaid and a fly-on-the-wall documentary. And then there’s the wolf, the doppelgänger, the crazed shape-shifter, and an age-old grudge. Things slide swiftly from bad to farce and then turn a hell of a lot darker. One minute Sandra’s trying to save the family business, the next she’s battling to save their lives. You couldn’t make it up!

Described by one reader as “Janet Evanovich with Magic!”
FREE from 1st – 5th January.
