Whether told around a campfire or with a storm raging outside, ghost stories aren’t always just stories. When the power fails in the middle of a storm, Zack and Daniel turn to their father, John Malone, for comfort. Feeling that the boys are old enough to learn the truth about his childhood, John divulges a family secret, one he’s kept locked away, a secret that changed John’s life forever. In a small Pennsylvania town called Lizardville, Johnny and his friends set out on a weekend camping trip along the banks of Big Fishing Creek. On the first night, as the boys gather around the campfire, Parker shares the legend of the Ax Factory murders. Soon after, strange, mysterious things begin to happen. Little do the boys realize, they have awakened a spirit called Annabelle. She is searching for something and knows the boys are hiding what she seeks. Could the secret lie in an old puzzle box? As this spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat adventure unfolds, one question remains: will they survive the weekend?

Jimmy's Curse

By: Steve Altier

It’s been a little over a year since the teens lost one of their own, but the memory still haunts them. Johnny and his friends are typical teenagers in central Pennsylvania. They go to school, have after-school jobs, and spend their free time fishing and hanging out. They share a unique experience that bonds them in a way most teenagers wouldn't understand—their friend Jimmy was killed a year ago by a ghost. Now Jimmy is back, and he needs their help. Johnny, Buck, and the rest of the gang go back to where it all began: a small cave nestled in the mountains. There, they must solve the case of a missing ghost, and who would want to take their remains. They quickly learn that this goes beyond a simple mystery—they might be able to pull off the impossible and break Jimmy’s curse. They just have to be careful not to lose another friend in the process. This fast-paced, whodunit adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page.

Awakening Courage

Stories of Grit, Resilience, and Toughness

By: Steve Miller

Awakening Courage: Stories of Grit, Resilience, and Toughness depicts the gifts and talents of people residing in a rural southeastern Ohio community nestled in the Appalachian foothills. But it could very well be any community in America. The author writes insightfully of the real lives of individuals and groups who transformed their communities. He does this with a clever mix of spirit, storytelling, and practical application strategies which he includes at the end of every chapter in the form of Points to Ponder, Questions for Discussion, and Applications to Community Development. You will be introduced to ‘gritty’ people who refused to take no for an answer and learned to rise above challenges and adversity and achieve prosperity in the process. They are people of character, humility, integrity, and passion. They are mentally tough, accountable to a cause bigger than themselves and “walk the talk” daily in their journey toward becoming all that they were meant to be, not what someone else said they should be. As you read this book, you are encouraged to examine your heart, your mind, and your experience about your place in any community - family, neighborhood, school, workplace, church, city or village. You will learn how people can bring their very best efforts to the present moment - which is the only time we have. So get comfy and grab your favorite brew and be prepared to learn more about the core qualities and traits of change-makers who were not born of privilege, genius, or wealth. They were just ordinary people who seized the opportunities given to them and made a difference and impacted their community along the way.
