Moonlight Dare
 

Moonlight Dare: Bryce and R.J. Young, along with their one and only friend, Jerry, tease and torment the main character, Jackie Jacobs because he is different. They torment Jackie, making fun of his size, looks, personality and health. Their unyielding pranks and teasing finally weaken Jackie into accepting a dare. He must walk through a haunted house late at night with only the light of the full moon and a flashlight to guide him. Because he is susceptible to serious bouts with asthma, a harmless prank escalates into a life and death situation and a surprising turn of events, including a hero and life’s way of evening the score. Jackie’s good nature, courage and kindness teach a valuable lesson in self worth and acceptance.

 
"Secrets Inside Bington Manor"
 

Secrets Inside Bington Manor: Secrets inside Bington Manor is a wonderful example of family love, friendship and sharing as seen through the eyes and felt from the heart of an eleven-year-old boy. Six months have past since Bryce and R.J. Young along with their only friend, Jerry, dared Jackie Jacobs to walk through the haunted house atop Bington Hill, yet he cannot rid his mind of that awful Moonlight Dare experience. A terrifying recurring nightmare pushes Jackie and his best friend, Vanessa, into visiting Bington Manor for the second time. Once inside the manor, the ghosts of Joseph and Clara Bington direct them to a hidden staircase that leads to a special room where they uncover a web of secrets and encounter more than their share of trouble, including a threatening stranger and an unfriendly ghostly presence. In the end, Jackie’s kindness and generosity save a life and help put to rest two tormented souls.

 

The third and final book in the Bington Manor Mystery Series entitled, "In the Shadows of Bington Manor," deals with decisions and their consequences.

More than a year has past since Jackie Jacobs saw a ghostly figure hiding in the shadows of Bington Manor’s third floor balcony. Although everyone believes the ghosts of the manor are gone, Jackie knows differently. Mystery and suspense abound as Jackie, his family and friends encounter a black-caped figure, find a cave, discover secret rooms, follow uncharted passageways and realize that bullies come in every shape, size and age. The plot twists and turns through a rollercoaster ride of events, including the excitement of finding a treasure map, and the terrifying encounter with a wicked villain who places riches above faith, family and friends. In the process, Jackie and his family learn a valuable lesson about greed and its hold on the mind, heart and soul of its unsuspecting victims.

I am proud to announce my newest book,  

"Suddenly Alone: A Family Adventure."

Filled with exciting trials, acts of bravery, and a surprising, heartbreaking mystery, "Suddenly Alone: A Family Adventure," is a riveting story about a family vacation that unexpectedly teaches one of life’s valuable lessons. On the way down from a mountain hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Frankel family experience severe weather changes, loss of direction and a series of earthquake-like tremors. The tremors cause sixteen year-old Shannon to lose her footing and stumble off the trail toward the edge of the mountain. When her brothers attempt to save her, another tremor causes the three children to fall off the mountain ledge and tumble down the slope. Their effort to rescue themselves from the harsh surroundings and the threat of animal attacks becomes increasingly more difficult when they unknowingly become part of a mystery linked to a desperate man. In the midst of their unfortunate circumstance, the children find the true meaning of patience, understanding, unselfishness and above all, family love.
