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.
