As the sole heir of the Remington fortune, Vonnette Remington
adapted a lifestyle typical of a 'trust fund Bohemian' tucked away
in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. Vonnette Remington had
six best selling romance novels to her credit in as many years. She
was at the pinnacle of her writing career, garnishing her literary
success by authoring Harlequin-type novels. When she submits her
tell-all autobiography, entitled Under the Willor Tree, to her
publisher, she faces ill-fated retribution resulting in lethal
consequences. Her sudden death sends shock waves throughout the
small community. Lead investigator, Lt. Gerald Mitchell of the
Massachusetts State Police task force, asks Remington's publisher
who might have had reason to kill the famous writer. As he replies,
the publisher slams the manuscript on his desk. "Take your pick
officer, Vonnette had a way of pissing off a lot of people." Under
the Willow Tree becomes a virtual directory of suspects, each
chapter exposes illicit affairs and indiscrete escapades
identifying prominent members of the small community. Rumors
infiltrate the town of Lenox, MA creating fear of what may be
included between the pages. Careers and reputations are at risk if
the seedy tell-all book were to be published. The Manuscript is a
compelling search for a killer. The author invites the reader to
join in the intense investigation as the clues and evidence
systematically unfold. The Manuscript is an energy packed novel
that shares all the evidence and challenges the amateur sleuth to
arrive at an independent conclusion to solve the case. Suprising
details are guaranteed to captivate the most discriminating murder
mystery fan.

"No Tomorrows" addresses a widespread epidemic. The
Abduction/Murder epidemic does not discriminate. No age, gender,
race or religion is immune. The predators are cunning, muniplative
and most often non-family members. They function among us in our
everyday lives avoiding suspicion. The victims in "No Tomorrows"
could have been anyone's child. Rural towns and villages once
believed to be 'safe havens' are hunting grounds and the children
are prey to the monsters who hunt for them. The families of the
victims in "No Tomorrows" have expressed their desire to keep their
lost family member's story in the forefront. These victims should
never be forgotten. The families will never have 'closure' but they
deserve justice. Knowing the killer continues to walk free is a
pain few could ever imagine. Families who have never had their
loved one's remains disclosed, endure a suffering that will never
be comforted.
It was the '50s and life was simple, until September 25, 1954. That
was the night that would be etched in the memory of the citizens of
Stanfield, Massachusetts. The Chief of Police described the brutal
savagery of the double homicide as "the most atrocious crime in the
history of the city." A fourteen-year-old girl, and the
four-year-old boy in her care were murdered at the hands of a
deranged, depraved killer. A Thread of Evidence places the reader
at the scene of the crime, an eye witness to the senseless stabbing
of two innocent children. With a piece of crochet thread as their
only clue, the entire police department, lead by detectives Steven
Logan and Raymond Gage, scour the city in search of a maniacal
savage. When all tips and leads have been exhausted, they review
all evidence. They come back to the thread. The only real evidence.
With tenacity and perseverance of Logan and Gage the killer is
apprehended. The reader experiences the twists and turns of the
investigation, and ultimately occupies a reserved seat in the
Superior Court as the trial proceedings commence. A Thread of
Evidence has been written as fiction, but inspired by an actual
event. Fifty years later, it remains etched in the minds of all who
had lived in the area. The author has researched court records,
newspapers, interviewed neighbors, police and has drawn on personal
recollections of the crime. The story has been recounted over and
over and to this day, it continues to be discussed. A Thread of
Evidence is a compelling account of superb detective work, and
unprecedented dedication of an entire police department.
