Lost Treasure of Petersburg

Leave a Comment

About Lost Treasure of Petersburg:

When workers John Hawkins and Joe Bryant began remodeling work to transform the beautiful and mysterious “Centre Hill House” into the City of Petersburg, Virginia’s own museum, they could not know the treasure, clues, and evidence they would encounter. Before very long, the house would soon disclose a sight unseen for many years. In short sequence, scenes and secrets, held only by a very select few, long dead, individuals would shine one day soon for all to see. Named “Centre Hill Museum”, it sits on top of the highest hilltop near downtown Petersburg. The mansion overlooked the lower half of a mostly refurbished older business district. The Appomattox River, which is a few short blocks away, flows below its stately perch. In those days, the front of such homes were built to face the water, which in this case, was the shipping route into Petersburg. Centre Hill was no exception. Hundreds of men died fighting the Civil War just around the bend from its watch. From the south looking north toward Richmond, the porch offered a sweeping expanse. There, soldiers could monitor General Grants Army for more than a mile, another unintended purpose for the home’s porch during this time.Buried and obscured, a tunnel dug into the side of a hill near the Appomattox River at the North end, found its destination beneath the stately house. As the two old friends and workers worked, Joe’s curiosity and intuition would reveal an extraordinary discovery with a history and drama long buried within the reinforced walls of the secret tunnel. Follow the story of presidents and explorers, of soldiers and protectors, as the plan that was hatched to restore a war-torn young country with millions in gold following the civil war is foiled and rediscovered decades later.

It’s Christmastime in the pocket-sized village of Briarcliff Manor. With yuletide spirits flying high, life seems close to perfect in this quaint suburb of Manhattan. But not everyone feels the holiday cheer. While most go about their joyful holiday pursuits, young Charlie Riverton is restless. Compassionate by nature, he’s especially mindful of the lonely and forlorn. At the same time, he’s the unofficial leader of a close-knit group of sixth-grade buddies. Together they grapple with pre-teen hijinks, newfound freedoms and an emerging, nerve-wracking interest in girls. Meanwhile, there’s a curiously gifted newcomer in town. Charlie develops a special friendship with the handsome stranger and together, they set out to craft a God-honoring Christmas gift for the whole community. Along the way, lives are changed and people begin to look at Christmas a little differently.

Alpha by John Henley


About Featured Book: Alpha by John Henley

Ian Ridgefield thought he was done with the military. He had completed more than he ever expected and did it at a level few will ever reach. Back home and taking care of his mother, even if she didn't ask for it, while quickly moving up the corporate ladder, his days of being a door kicker and dealing with sand rubbing his skin raw were further and further away.

When Washington D.C. turns into a proverbial hellhole, the Pentagon razed to the ground, within a matter of seconds, he is presented with a request that he isn't sure he wants to accept. This decision is even more difficult to make when a woman he hadn't thought about for more than a decade has entered his life and keeping it more than a little interesting.

Ian's code of moral justice may land him into legal trouble and the stand he makes to save the life of one while taking others, is difficult to offset for the community he lives in but can they agree to overlook it? When two people with more money and legal power than any duo in the country are willing to help ensure he stays on the outside of the Tombs in New York City it is a reality he has a difficult time accepting.

Will Ian, finally, find peace in life and chemistry with the woman of his dreams, or will the skeletons come crashing out of his closet and destroy the foundation he has worked so hard to create? Travel through the journey of treacherous deceit, ecstatic highs, military men standing up to corrupt governments, and men being an impenetrable wall between pure evil and the women they have sworn to protect.

The first book in a wonderful series highlighting the men and women who have, or do, serve in the military. This is not a stand-alone book.

Escape From Evil by DT Mann

About Escape From Evil by DT Mann:

Two couples and some of their closest friends sit in the semi-darkened living room expectantly watching the flat screen TV. The chatter in the room hushes as the familiar news logo dominates the screen and the voice of the announcer introduces the host of the show.

“Your host this evening is CNN news anchor, Walkerton Bradley.”

The news anchor begins a story of terror abuse suspense and… love.

He introduces the central figure of the story, Allison Anderson. Even though they have all lived it, the small audience watches anxiously as Allison’s tale of fear, and suffering, both mental and physical makes them shudder all over again. How she lived under the control of her vicious employer/boyfriend, despite his involvement in illegal activities and his totally amoral attitude towards women in general and Allison in particular.

They hear the all too familiar sequence of events—how Allison’s newfound best friend convinces her to leave her slave master and helps her make her escape. However, Allison soon realizes she has a new challenge of trying to stay out of the grasp of her brutal tormentor who is determined to get her back.

In the midst of all the uncertainty and apprehension, she meets Heath Barton. At first she finds him bossy and overbearing but eventually comes to realize that his emotions and feelings run deep indeed.
