The funeral service of an old friend, co-worker and college roommate is the back drop of a forty year mystery. Former Seaside Heights Lifeguard and Ocean County Prosecutors Office Investigator, Bobby Jamison passes away at his new home in southern Alabama, as he was approaching his mid-sixties. At the memorial service in Seaside Park, New Jersey, old colleagues gather to celebrate his life. The collages and arrays of photographs and memorabilia throughout the room draw those mourners back to the days many years earlier when one of their own died under suspicious circumstances involving Jamison's widow. Bobby's death and the celebration of his life by those mourners finally brings a belated close to the summer of 1968. This is a tragic love story spanning decades, when the lives of each of the old friends were greatly changed due to those few years in the mid to late 1960's. The war in Vietnam, the social unrest, the civil rights movement and the heartbreaking, world changing events of that time all play a role in the ultimate outcome of the lives of each of those lifeguards.

Witch Blood of Salem

Lessons from the Trials

By: Roger Kriney

The Salem Witch Trials, 1692 is the setting for this investigation into a few of the actual cases. The author offers the readers the opportunity to thoroughly examine all the existing written evidence against just four of the accused families and learn everything possible about the witnesses and accusers necessary for investigating their trials. As in any criminal investigation, the reader will find more than suspicion of greed, anger, decades old vengeance and misunderstanding as the basis for accusation and motive. The fingerprints of the religious hands are all over the intense fervor of the community as well as on the judges’ misunderstanding and mishandling of the trials. The reader will also find the apparent abuse of young minds by certain adults as the means in order to set the stage for this travesty. The most disturbing thing you will find is the religious justification for all of it.

New Age Cowboys

By: Roger Kriney

Ren Hadley and Doug Gove, cousins from New Jersey, meet after years apart in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Both men, in their early thirties, struggling with failed marriages and child separation agony seek the assistance of psychotherapist Palmer Anderson. The three men along with another of Dr. Andersons clients, Jake Wilbert attempt to regain their foothold in the post hippy, cult oriented 1970s that was Saint Paul. Thirty years after establishing and solidifying their relationship, despite their extremely diverse life paths, Hadley, Gove and Anderson along with Andersons brother, Ian, gather at the home of the now expatriate, Dr. Anderson in the Mexican western seacoast village of Sayulita. The decision to include Wilbert after all those years proves questionable. He drags them through the local illicit drug trade, sexual infidelity, a dangerous confrontation with an indigenous tribe and a romp through a New Age clothing optional resort. They establish liaisons with a Japanese-Mexican beauty, a pretty Seattle travel agent and a group of Alabama society belles ending with a violent clash with the unstable Mexican political scene. This is a story of commitment and rescue between old friends. Their 1960s attitudes of acceptance and tolerance, tempered by the years, are tested in the post 911 world as they discover just how much they have come to still rely on each other and just how important that reliance has become as they have aged.

Margaret

The Witch of Northfields

By: Roger D. Hight-Kriney

For a maturing child, turning from sixteen to seventeen is an exhilarating, hope filled experience. For hope filled Margaret Jacobs in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, it was quite the opposite. It was, for her, a time of unquestionable horror. Caught between the truth, and with it, her certain death, or lies and with them, her probable death but assuredly, the certain death of her soul. Margaret had to choose, alone. This novel, based on the true historical accounting, follows the remarkable experiences that paved that transition in the life of a genuinely courageous young woman and her accusers. She was arrested with her honest, God fearing but, irascible grandfather, and her sadly sullen, distracted mother, early in the Salem Witch Hunt of 1692. They had all been charged with performing witchcraft, a crime punishable by death. She awaited her execution while others, including her grandfather were being tried, convicted and executed for crimes they did not commit and knowing her turn would soon come. That she was treated as a repulsive, devil worshiping criminal, subjected to every unimaginable humiliation and threatened with worse was an almost daily experience in the dirty, squalid, closely confined cell of the Salem Gaol. The intelligence and bravery of young Margaret Jacobs in the face of certain death is an inspiration to every generation of people of any age.
