The Liar-He did not see himself as a liar, but as a storyteller, an entertainer, a gifted yarn spinner who could convince people that he was someone he was not and take them places he had never seen, and usually to exotic places they had never been. Some stories begin with a kernel of truth, and others are total fabrications, but they are all designed to build up the teller and enthrall the listener. The trouble comes when fiction starts to become truth, when people believe the story so much that they change their lives. The Liar, who is nothing more than an auto parts salesman, crosses that line when he gets involved in stories he tells. He finds himself in precarious situations doing things he was not qualified to do. Have you ever known a liar? Conspiracy Theory- Is there really a group of ultra-wealthy men who control the world, who elect benevolent presidents, over throw tyrannical kings and work for the over good of mankind against their evil foe, S.A.T.A.N.? Is there actually a group (the Illuminati?) who has set themselves up as God and direct many activities of day to day life? Is it just one man's paranoia or is there really someone out there watching you? Deadly Secrets-Were deadly national secrets really being stolen or was it nothing more than a comedy of errors? Follow the chain of events, in reverse, and decide for yourself who the good guys and who the bad guys really are. Is unheralded, unknown, unassuming assassin Boogie Abbott a national hero? Does a janitor really kick-off a series of governmental blunders, murders, cover-ups and political intrigue that leads to war when he discovers pieces of trash with strange messages? Find out in Deadly Secrets, a tale that takes you from the end to the beginning and back to the end. The Nameless Dread-This is a nightmarish story that will keep you up at night so read it in the day time. If you have ever had evil dreams that haunt you when you wake up, if you were afraid of the dark as a child and maybe still are, The Nameless Dread is something you do not want to read. Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake...No! White Out-It began as a normal Sunday afternoon, after church, after lunch, family Christmas tree hunt in the woods near Atlanta, Georgia. An unexpected, sudden change in the weather brings a fierce winter storm that threatens a family of 5 until a mystical figure from their past returns to try and save the day. Pull out your winter clothes when you are hit by White Out.
