Tempest Rider

By: Saundra Crum Akers

Hiding from a demented wife, Slate Morgan flees to the village of Peebles, Ohio where he obtains a job teaching in the school. He meets and befriends Silver Black, another teacher, who is also being stalked by an abusive past. Although they aren't lovers, someone thinks they are, and is determined to break up their friendship. A few rock throwing incidents, ghostings, drive by shootings and other acts of mayhem convince the two that their enemy will stop at nothing to separate them, not even murder, but did they learn this too late? This book is about small town gossip, violent spouses, victims of child abuse, and a missing child. It's a fast paced ride up and down the hills of Southern Ohio.

Bite of the Serpent

By: Saundra Crum Akers

Sequel to Tempest Rider Slate Morgan and Silver Black are married now and have moved to a farm near Sinking Spring Ohio. When they bought the land, they didn't realize that the farm next door to them was occupied by a group of pagans who had come to the area in order to be near Serpent Mound, which they believe is a vortex. The farm, called The Garden of Eden by its serpent worshipping inhabitants, is host to beliefs such as Wicca, Celtic, Atheist, and Native American; all grouped under a pagan banner. The farm is located in a longtime Christian Farming Community which has recently had an influx of Amish residents as well. It would seem they are heading for a culture clash. When Anne Baxter, the leader of the group is found murdered there are many suspects in this diverse community where she'd made many enemies and seemingly no friends. When suspicion falls on the Morgan family, on whose land the body is found, Silver feels she must help investigate in order to remove the cloud over her family's head. She sets out to learn all the local gossip so she can pass it on to the Sheriff who is investigating the murder. However, her snooping has riled up someone who has her in his/her sights, considering her a threat. This is a Who Dunnit set in a small community. With so many suspects you will be guessing who the culprit is until the last minute.

My Fractured Mind

Things I Would Have Never Written Without a Writing Prompt

By: Saundra Akers

This book is a composite of short pieces of writing that were inspired by writing prompts. When writing to a prompt it is amazing what the writer will come up with on a given day. The same prompt given a week later might have an entirely different result. Our minds have so many hidden thoughts and ideas that might never come to light without these little prods to our subconscious. The author has chosen to express these thoughts in short stories, articles, and in poetry form. It's not just that the ideas are different on different days but the form in which the writer will choose to express the idea is also different. I hope you will enjoy these fractured pieces of my mind.
