Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am thrilled to present to you my latest work, a collection of mystery-suspense stories that I have poured my heart and soul into. As a writer who is deeply passionate about the mystery genre, I have always been fascinated by the complexities of human nature and the power of suspenseful storytelling. The stories in this book are a reflection of my love for the genre, and I have worked tirelessly to ensure that each one is a unique and thrilling experience for the reader. From the dark alleys of big cities to the remote corners of the countryside, the stories in this collection take the reader on a journey through the twisted minds of murderers, the devious schemes of criminals, and the desperate struggles of those who seek to bring them to justice. I have always believed that a good mystery story is not just about the plot, but also about the characters. The protagonists in these stories are a diverse cast of individuals, each with their own unique strengths, flaws, and motivations. As the stories unfold, you will find yourself rooting for them, sympathizing with them, and ultimately, experiencing their triumphs and defeats. One of the things I find most compelling about the mystery genre is its ability to explore the darker aspects of human nature. In this book, you will encounter characters who are driven by greed, revenge, and a thirst for power, as well as those who are struggling to overcome the traumas of their past. Through these characters, I hope to shed light on the complex, and often conflicting, forces that shape our lives. Writing these stories has been a labor of love, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way. Whether you are a seasoned fan of the mystery genre or a newcomer, I hope that this collection will leave you on the edge of your seat, eager to discover what happens next.

Book excerpt: The debut of a major new talent, SAPPHIRE'S GRAVE tells the stories of several generations of African-American women, bringing their spirit and their sorrow to life with a power, sensitivity, and immediacy. In 1749 in Sierra Leone, a woman of fierce dignity is captured and forced onto a slave ship. On the harrowing voyage to the Americas, she is beaten for her unrelenting will and staunch pride. When she arrives, she gives birth to a daughter who is called Sapphire because of the "black-blue-black" complexion she shares with her mother. Sapphire has also inherited her mother's strength and defiant spirit, and despite a life of poverty and opression, she grows up to mother several daughters of her own. Even when tragedy strikes and part of Sapphire dies, her strength gives rise to a legend that will sustain the women who follow her, "each carrying something of her mother, her grandmother, her aunts; each passing on to her own daughters blessing and cursing, the consequences of her own choosing. Through the lives of Sapphire and her descendants, Hilda Gurley-Highgate not only creates a poignant and engrossing saga of black women in America, she brilliantly illuminates the meaning of roots and the links between women and their female ancestors, a tie that often appears tenuous, undefined, and distant, but is strong, palpable, and much closer than we imagine. Written in luminous prose, SAPPHIRE'S GRAVE is an astonishing work by an author poised to take the literary world by storm.
