Burial Plot by R. Lanier Clemons


Burial Plot by R. Lanier Clemons


AUTHOR BIO


R. Lanier Clemons


Born in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, R. Lanier Clemons spent her early years moving from one Air Force base to another. It was her father, a career Air Force Sergeant, who instilled in her the love of books. Bookcases in the family���s various residences were filled with volumes by James Baldwin, Ernest Hemingway, Flannery O���Connor and others. Many times her father would drop her off at the base library with the admonishment, ���I���ll pick you up in a few hours. Be ready to go.��� She tried very hard to obey that order. While other kids complained if they didn���t get the toy they wanted, she would be disappointed if all she got was just one book.


In college, she majored in Journalism and received her B.A. from Howard University. That degree helped her land a job as Managing Editor of an employee newspaper for the largest telecommunications company in the Washington DC area. Several years were spent writing the ���5 W���s.��� However, that didn���t dampen her thirst for fiction. With the love of mysteries in the back of her mind, she decided to explore some of the reasons why people committed crimes. That led to a degree in Legal Studies at the University of Maryland.


One day, she decided to sit down and write the kind of book she wanted to read. While admiring female amateur sleuths like Kinsey Millhone and Tamara Hayle, she felt the mystery world needed someone else. The world needed a Jonelle Sweet.


While writing is one passion, horseback riding is another. Ramsey, a Connemara/Thoroughbred cross is her current obsession. As a horse owner and competitor for 30 years, she finds writing and riding very similar activities. Both require skill, perseverance and practice in order to continue to grow and excel at each craft.����


R. Lanier Clemons is a member of Sisters In Crime and International Thriller Writers. She shares a home in Maryland with her gray tabby, Lucy.��

Title: Burial Plot

Author: R. Lanier Clemons

Genre: Mystery

Blurb: Campus security guard and cop wannabe Jonelle Sweet has a problem. Her recently deceased husband is missing from the cemetery plot where she buried him. Married less than two years to Delbert Sweet, Jonelle knows she can find the answers to why someone removed his body and where he was taken.


Refusing to give up or be stonewalled, Jonelle���s persistence pays off. As her demand for answers escalates, Jonelle methodically tracks down a body snatcher and uncovers a conspiracy where cadavers are sold for profit. Jonelle learns that if she doesn���t watch her step, the grave robber may just turn into a killer. And she will be his first victim.


Excerpt


Jonelle thought of something else. ���Didn���t you people ever think that family members or friends would ever visit the grave? What excuse did you have ready when they wondered where the body was?���


���Hey, nobody was ever supposed . . .��� Manross clamped his mouth shut.


Jonelle flashed him her best gotcha smile.


Manross smirked, and his eyes shifted to a spot over her right shoulder.


���What���re you . . .���


Hands pushed into her back, shoving her into the shed. She screamed and fell forward, hitting the side of her head on something hard. Excruciating pain erupted above her right eye. As bad as the physical pain felt, it was nothing compared to the slamming of the door and the total darkness that followed.


As the ache flowed from her head down to her neck and shoulders, Jonelle slid all the way to the ground and lay there moaning. The clasp of her bag dug into her chest.


A warm, sticky wetness trickled down her face, stinging her eyes. She squeezed them shut. The wetness oozed down to the edge of her mouth. She instinctively licked the spot and nearly gagged at the taste of her own blood.


As she lay there, Jonelle became aware of the cold, musty smell of the hard, dry earth. With agonizing slowness, she opened her eyes then immediately clamped them shut again. Her breath came in short, rapid gasps. She felt the darkness pressing hard into her body. Jonelle tried to slow her breathing. She reached a hand out to get a sense of her surroundings and banged it against something sharp. She cried out and clutched the hand to her chest, rubbing it softly, eyes still closed. As the throbbing in her hand eased, Jonelle opened her eyes and struggled to her hands and knees.

Book Excerpts


Excerpt 1. Sighting The White


James wrestled me to the ground, his thick forearm around my throat, not quite hard enough to choke. ���I win!��� he declared. ���Just say the word, and I’ll let go!���


Damn, he was too strong. I tried to reply, but it came out as a garbled squeak. I reached my arms around, trying to get him off my back, but he was too heavy to budge. He pinned me down by pure weight.


We were so distracted by the fight, we didn’t notice the wind pick up, moaning through the trees. Branches began to thrash back and forth. My hair whipped into my face.


Then a shadow flew over us.


James gasped.


Pure adrenaline shot up my spine. I threw James to the side, his arms limp from shock. We both stared upward, searching the sky.


A terrible, piercing shriek split the air, a thousand times louder than a bird. The forest fell silent. The wind whipped the trees back and forth as though shaken by giant hands. Several branches snapped off and fell to the ground.


The bowark screamed and took off running. It thundered across the hill at a clumsy, rolling gait. I scanned the sky once, twice, holding my breath. Then, finally, I saw it.


The White circled around a pillar of rock high up on the mountain. This close, it appeared much larger than the distorted beast of my dreams. The shadow of its wings engulfed the entire hillside. Its tail stretched twice the length of its body, longer than the towering trees. The sunset���s glare reflected from its wings, casting its scales in a pearlescent glow.


I couldn’t believe my eyes. The dragon had appeared from nowhere!


The sun hovered low in the sky, fading over the opposite ridge of the valley. Nightfall. We had stayed out too long.


I tried to stand up, but James threw me back to the ground, pushing me flat against the grass. ���Get down, you idiot!��� he hissed. ���Its hunting!���


The dragon’s tail lashed through the air, snapping several trees in half as it banked and turned. The broken trunks skidded down the hill, upturning rocks and loose dirt, creating a minor avalanche. The rocks bounced downward. James gripped my hand and we braced ourselves. A huge boulder rolled right past us, barely missing our legs.


The bowark kept running. It was painful to watch, like a rock trying to outrun lightning. The White circled once more, then dove from the sky. Its wings created a howling, whistling sound, almost as loud as its screech. It plucked the bowark off the ground in one massive claw, like a hawk scooping up a mouse.


Then, with an elegant twist of its wings, it soared back into the sky. A minute later, it was gone.


Excerpt 2: The Fire’s Bane


I woke with a start to Marley licking my face. Still one foot in the dream, I fully expected the scent of smoke to strike my nose, and fire to leap from the wooden shingles of the kennel roof. I sat up half-panicked, but all was quiet and peaceful. Birds twittered airily as gray dawn stretched across the sky. Low clouds obscured the light; it looked like it might rain.


Four other deerhounds lay around me. They wagged their tails when I sat up, then they turned to sniff and lick my face. I ran my fingers through their curly soft fur. They assured me everything was fine and normal, just another day at Glenhold.


Except it wasn���t just another day. Someone stood outside the fence of the kennels. The dogs kept a wary distance from him, ears down, wagging their tails in uncertain greeting.


I stood up stiffly. I picked a few bits of straw from my clothing and pushed my wild, vine-like hair off my face. I probably looked a mess, but I couldn���t do much about it. I wiped my face with my shirt sleeve as I approached the fence.


Finally I saw his face through a gap in the wood. I immediately became nervous. The Fire���s Bane. Darius, I thought. Much different than my dream-Darius with smoothly shifting features. In person he looked grim and rugged, dark-eyed and intimidating. Our gazes met through the fence.


The dogs sensed my nervousness. A few barked in wary alarm. I hushed them thoughtlessly.


Unexpectedly, Darius said, ���I have need of three hounds.��� His rocky baritone shivered across my skin, rougher than I expected, like shale on a mountain slope. I���d never heard a voice pitched quite so low in the chest.


I hesitated, glancing at the pale misty dawn. The dogs had to wait an hour after feeding before being worked. Otherwise they might get bloat���a twist in their stomachs. ���It���s a bit early,��� I said. ���What for?���


���Mistress Ashyra is going on a hunt,��� he said. ���She would like three of your best hounds to accompany her.���


I scratched the back of my head. It wasn���t my place to release the hounds. That was the kennel hand���s duty and if I overstepped my bounds, I���d be in trouble. After last night���s excursion, I wanted to avoid that as much as possible.


���I don���t actually work here,��� I said slowly.


He paused. His voice turned wry. ���So���you just sleep here?���


I flushed. ���On some nights.���


His eyes combed my hair. ���You like animals, then?��� he prompted.


���Of course,��� I said, then bit my tongue. Ouch. I���d never felt this awkward in my life. The Dragon���s Bane was having an idle chat with me? The girl who sleeps in the dog kennel?


My next words rushed out, ���I���ll let the trainers know Mistress Ash wants three hounds to accompany her. She���ll have to wait until mid-morning.���


Darius nodded. He turned to leave, then hesitated. ���Is there a blacksmith at the hold?��� he asked.


Any of the soldiers could have given him this information. ���Yes,��� I said, and pointed over my shoulder. ���On the eastern wall, you���ll see the forge.���


He gazed at me for a moment. I wondered at his thoughts. Then he turned in the direction of the forge. I watched him stride away. He moved quickly for a big man. I couldn���t deny the width of his shoulders, especially from behind���.


The moment he left my sight, I sank back against the rear wall of the kennel. I put my head against the cool stone. His presence gripped me like a fist. I didn���t know whether I fancied him or feared him. He wasn���t what the rest of the hold-girls would call handsome. He was too roughened, his face too angular for that. In fact, I���m sure most found him downright terrifying. Hold girls sighed over strapping young men like James or my cousin Stephan���charming, clean-cut soldier types. Those were Glenhold���s heroes.


But was it attraction that held me bound to the Bane���s presence, or intimidation?

Book Tour – DREAM GIRL by S.J. Lomas

MBB_TourBanner_DreamGirl copy


 


BLURB: For Christine, dreams have never meant much. Until she meets Gabriel. Everyone thinks Christine should stay away from her new coworker at the library-thanks to his bad reputation-but when her dreams grow more vivid and she becomes entangled in a dangerous dream world with Gabriel every night, she can’t stay away. Soon it’s clear there is far more to dreams than Christine ever imagined, and now she’s on the path to making the biggest, and strangest, decision of her life.


��~~~~~~~~~~~~~


perf5.000x8.000.indd Excerpt:


I should have tossed out a welcoming smile and a ���Nice to meet you. Gotta run,��� but the strong outline of his back did nothing to prepare me for the siren song of his front. Melancholy practically poured off him, nearly visible, yet transient as smoke. His tousled brown hair, square-ish face, Johnny Depp lips and intense brown eyes nearly knocked me backwards. In that brief instant of eye contact, I felt the disorienting fuzziness that comes between sleep and wakefulness. Tiny flecks of autumn amber sparkled in his eyes, beckoning me deeper. My lips parted, as if not under my control, and prepared to utter some sort of greeting but stopped. I noticed the slightest twinge in my brain.


Strange but not unpleasant, it felt like a warm breeze had just blown away a cobweb from my mind. Jarred by all these things happening in an instant, I turned away. Even so, I could feel his eyes on me as I fled. It made the entire length of my spine tingle.

William Johnstone


William W. Johnstone was born in Southern Missouri, the youngest of four children. Raised with strong moral and family values by his minister father, and well-tutored by his school teacher mother, Bill quit school when he was fifteen. He was kicked out of the French Foreign Legion for being under age and joined the carnival. But still valuing his education, he returned home to finish his high school education in 1957.


He went on to work as a deputy sheriff, did a hitch in the army, and began a career in radio broadcasting, where he worked daily on his verbal and storytelling skills for the next sixteen years on the air. Much of his knowledge of the early frontier began from listening to family experiences told to him by his Grandparents.


His love of animals is displayed in many of his books as well as finding several Huskies and Malamutes roaming freely around his home. As an avid gun and knife collector, hours of research are devoted to the types of weapons commonly used during the eras of his writings.


One little known fact, is his love for music ��� from ���rockabilly to classical���. Bill has written and recorded several songs which may be released for his fans in the future.


He started writing in 1970, but it wasn���t until late 1979 when The Devil���s Kiss was published that William W. Johnstone became a full-time writer. Since that time he has written over two hundred books in a variety of genres including action, suspense, western, science fiction, and horror. Two of his books, Eagle Down and Dagger, were written under the pen name of William Mason.


To the true William W. Johnstone reader, he is a best-selling author admired for the great diversity in his writing talents. Though most known for his western adventures, Johnstone was also a visionary writer. His prophetic stories within his Ashes Series, Code Name Series, and his science fiction books, predicting the Gulf War and the political climate we live in today, was ahead of its time when it was written.
