MARY ELIZABETH SURRATTBOOK 5 THE LINCOLN ASSASSINATION SERIESThe trial of Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln at the end of the Civil War after Robert E. Lee's surrender, came to a dramatic conclusion on July 7, 1865. Andrew Johnson did not declare, however, an end to the War Between the States until August 1866.In 1851, Mary Jenkins Surratt and her husband John stood outside their home and watched as it burned to the ground in Maryland. They elected not to rebuild the home, and, instead, built a home in combination with a tavern for weary travelers to partake in drink, near Mary's parent's place, a small area called Surrattsville.John Surratt, Sr. died in 1862. Mary moved with her daughter Anna in 1864 to their Washington City location she and John purchased in 1853. This location plays a vital role in the many meetings held by Booth, John Surratt, Jr., and others.On April 11th, Mary traveled with Louis Weichmann to her tavern in Surrattsville she had leased to John Lloyd. They passed Lloyd on the road to Uniontown, and from testimony given by Louis Weichmann, Mary told Lloyd the "shooting irons" would be needed soon. This was associated with other testimony given in the trial about rifles that were hidden at the tavern by some Booth conspirators.The fifth book in this series will allow the reader to determine for themselves if, in fact, Mary Surratt should have received the penalty handed down to her at the completion of the trial. In numerous novels on this subject, some say Mary Surratt is guilty as sin. Many say Mary Surratt was only in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it was the United States Government out for revenge... out for blood.In the trial of Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt, a military tribunal, rather than a civilian court, was chosen as the prosecutorial venue. Why? Because the government officials at the time thought it might be more lenient in regards to the evidence allowing the court to get to the bottom of what they perceived as a vast conspiracy.From all indications, enough preliminary witnesses mentioned Mary Surratt's participation as responsible for providing the nest that hatched the egg, her boarding house in Washington City. One thing in the proceedings that appeared suspicious was on the night she was arrested, she denied having ever seen Lewis Thornton Powell when he appeared at her boarding house. According to numerous witnesses in the trial, Lewis had been there on multiple occasions to meet with her son and others. Was Mary lying, or was it just too dark when she was asked if she recognized him in front of the boarding house.Mary Surratt was on trial with seven men. Her attorneys were John Clampitt and Frederick Aiken. In prison, Lewis Powell continued to tell anyone who would listen that keeping Mary shackled and in prison was wrong as she had nothing to do with the assassination of the President.Testimony given by John Lloyd and Louis Weichmann weighed heavily in the Military Commission's final decision.During the trial, Mary dressed in total black. Her head was covered in a black bonnet. The expressions on her face were barely recognizable hidden behind the netting of her silk veil.This court case, in its entirety for Mary Surratt, is depicted in this novel, the fifth novel in the Lincoln Assassination Series. The reader will have the opportunity to determine from the evidence and the testimony of the witnesses whether or not Mary Elizabeth Surratt should be hung or be turned free.

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6 KJVGENESIS …imagine stepping onto the shoreline and finding out it's HeavenHave you ever read your Bible and stop, go back to the beginning and reread it? Do you ever find that there is no wow? No impact. No overwhelming thought that strikes you because it is so hard to understand.You're not alone.Memories growing up with my grandmother, the Reverend Ada Caston Slaton Bonds, shed complete light on the many Books of the Bible. She was a great storyteller, just like Jesus, when he spread the word of God in parables. Be it Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas, she always had a story to tell and practiced her Sunday morning sermons preaching her discourse to my brothers and me just outside Mansfield, Louisiana.No longer do you or your children have to read the Bible until something "hits" you. My first novel in the Sunday School Series portrays a fresh approach to the scriptures…a down to earth storytelling of the words of God beginning with, well, the beginning.The writings in the Book of Genesis have sometimes been referred to as the seed plot of the entire Bible. As complicated as it could be in scripture form, most of the major doctrines of the Bible are introduced to all of us in this so-called seed form in this book. Along with the fall of mankind, God's promise of salvation and redemption are put in plain words in this first novel in the Sunday School Series of the Holy Book. The doctrines of creation, the accusation of sin, justification, grace, faith, and much more are all addressed in this Book of origins.Almost all my life, Genesis was best explained to me in the form of a 1956 movie, Cecil B. DeMille's, The Ten Commandments. There's a saying today, don't always believe what you read on the Internet or what you see on the silver screen. Hollywood told the story of Genesis, but as they always do, with a flair for capturing the attention of moviegoers. It was the highest-grossing film of the 1950s and the seventh highest-grossing film of all time. By the way, it has been one of my most favorite movies of all time, as well.This first novel in the series captures the first Book of the Bible, Genesis, and tells the story of the beginning in straightforward and easy to understand stories. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? GENESIS, no doubt, appeals to the theologian, the historian, the scientist, the housewife, the farmer, and the man or woman of God himself.All in all, it is a fitting beginning for God's story of his plan for mankind and an appropriate opening for the first book in this Sunday School Education Series by Sidney St. James.Appropriate for children twelve years of age and older.

UNDER COVER QUEENSequel to JADED LOVERBook 3PART TWOThe Whodunnit Series"Seems like you would have found your own self by now, but late at night, those lover's tears come back, faces in your dreams, fingers in your back, voices of the memories for cryin' out loud." --- Jerry Jeff WalkerIn this love quadrangle, genealogy plays a vital role in wealth versus the poor and sex versus love. Mix in a hint of whodunnit in the murder of one of the characters, and you have a two-part series of trying to catch the killer and figure out the hidden skeletons in the closet.Everyone loves a love triangle, especially when it's two triangles that come together at the same time, just as long as they are not part of it. Obviously, it is the other characters' drama that makes us feel better about our own lives. In this moving story of mystery and intrigue, there so much for the reader to find in the conflict and resolutions of the cutthroat dealings of what were thought to be best friends.The settings of this novel take place along the west coast of the United States in Black Rock Cove, Oregon. Three wealthy families, one to the north, one to the south, and one right along the coastline in downtown Black Rock Cove. The year is 1882.Reggie Scott is in love with Julia Esser and was but one day away from marrying the wealthy young woman, heir to the largest estate on the west coast in Oregon. They have both been made for each other since they were very young children.However, Reggie didn't know until one day before his best friend and best man at the wedding dug up a mystery of his past so frightening, he used it against him to try and steal the woman he loved and make her his own.Overnight Reggie left on the midnight train to travel to New Orleans to find out the truth of this mystery. He needed to know and couldn't bear letting anyone in on this mysterious past he possessed.Streaming tears cleansed Julia's red cheeks the day she was left standing at the altar. Her vision was blurred with waves of sadness. The salty tears flowed into her mouth so that she could taste her own sorrow. Why did Reggie not call or show up for the wedding? Where did he go?Julia experienced bitter and unforgiving pain in her heart. Marco Ross and his twin sister, Angie, were out to win the hearts of Julia and the man she loved who never showed at the church.In our story, conflict is a vital ingredient for the story. Few romance mysteries can manage to be interesting without this conflict. Relationships are flat without it. Love triangles are beyond any doubt dull without it. However, in this two-volume set of THE WHODUNNIT SERIES, there's positively a struggle, discomfort, a lot of inner-strife, and maybe a murder or two!

A PRINCE OF THEIR OWN by Sidney St. JamesA Novella "Women are like the police. They can have all the evidence in the world, but they still want a confession!" - unknown With Vincent Gideon retired and living high in the mountains outside Denver, Colorado, the now renowned Bridget Flynn continues the Gideon Detective Agency's day-to-day services. Bridget can still remember an earlier case where Vincent let a serial killer, Rosenthall, the first book in the Gideon Detective Series, go free, and never over the next twenty years did he ever give her an understanding as to why. She was only twenty years old at the time. In this second book in the Bridget Detective Series, Flynn is hired to resolve theft at a hotel in Black Rock Cove. Dave Henry, Jonathan Lane, and Stephen Moore were elected as the committee to search out a detective agency to find out and solve a rash of robberies from tenants living in the Riverside Hotel, an exquisite five-star place of accommodations in Black Rock Cove. Flynn had just completed a baffling murder case in the small fishing village of a bank teller two weeks earlier and found the visit of three gentlemen to her office in Portland somewhat surprising so close to her finishing the last case. After listening to their report on the slippery capabilities of a thief and that no detective firms have been able to solve the case, she began to put a plan together. Her skillful ability to devise methods that help explain cases came up with a unique plan to give Hans Schedl his first undercover case. Bridget would go in under cover as Mary Lynn Simpson and watch the case evolve as Hans goes in undercover as Prince Karl Haber of the Duchy of Oldenburg. His first stop was the Regal Hotel, a swanky ski resort for the younger fast-lane crowd. If one looked closely at the flagstone floor, the heating that was hidden underneath would melt any of the finest chocolate one might leave in a sack on the tile. The armchairs were perfectly positioned to watch the skiers and snowboarders come down the mountainside, and as they left their equipment outside and trudged in shaking off the snow from their heavy boots. His undercover assignment forced him to first stay at the Regal until he could get his credentials in order before moving to the Riverside Hotel, the only five-star long-term lodging establishment on any of its type on the west coast. Besides, it was there where all the robberies were taking place, and it was there the Prince needed to be to help solve the case!
