~ HONEYMOON CRUISE TO MURDER

What was to be a wonderful honeymoon has turned into a nightmare as people are being murdered, and Shelly’s husband is the security guard’s number one suspect.

“Oh, them poor things! To lose your pa like this! And you knew them? If I’s you, I’d be real careful. You’ve known both of the people murdered. For all you know, you could be next on his list.”

Nicole shuddered, snuggled closer to Tim, and whispered, “I don’t like this at all. I really wish Curly and Shelly were here to help us.”

“Me too, hon, me too,” Tim replied.

Join Shelly, Curly, and Tucker in this exciting and fast-paced sequel to A Vengeful Spirit as they track down the real guilty party aboard a Caribbean cruise ship.

Annemarie Parker has traveled far in space and time to find her unknown father.

“…a page turner!” —Judith Seidel

“I remember fondly reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe when I was in middle school. The Peaks at the Edge of the World has a similar mix of fantasy and adventure with a moral tale at its center. This is a book that’s appropriate for a younger audience than most sci fi/fantasy novels. Enjoy the read!” —Kathy Dunhoff, Zola Award-winning Women’s Fiction Writer

“…start with a religious/fantasy base, then adds a dollop of ‘A Wrinkle in Time’, mixed in a sprinkling of ‘Narnia’ and spice it up with a little romance.”

“M.F. Erler is an intriguing story-teller. The Peaks at the Edge of the World was hard to put down. I had many sleepless nights because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next!”

A Vengeful Spirit, Shelly Gale Mystery Book 1

READ A SAMPLE | SHARE | BUY

PILOTVIEW WAS A QUIET, PEACEFUL TOWN where nothing much happened…until now.

“Many twists and turns in the story line,
which made it a very fun and interesting mystery read
.”

“Really enjoyed this Christian cozy mystery, and especially loved hearing familiar names and places of rural NC and WV.“

Shelly Gale dreaded the phone call she had to make. Her student, Tucker, was falling behind in school, and his parents needed to know about it.

The phone rang.

Finally, she heard someone pick up but could barely hear him speaking.’Hello? Tucker? Is that you? Why are you whispering?’

‘Oh, Miss Gale,’ he said, his voice interrupted with huge sobs and hiccupping’please come and help me. There’s…’

Shelly heard the click of his phone hanging up. ‘Tucker? Tucker!’

As a series of shocking events unfold, Shelly finds herself entangled in the search for answers. Why is someone targeting Tucker’s family? What could a twelve-year-old have done to bring such terror to his home? What evil is plaguing the Irvins and turning Pilotview upside down?


– – –

A Vengeful Spirit is a fast-paced and thrilling suspense novel that will keep readers busy turning pages as they follow Shelly in her perilous quest to uncover the truth.
