Ascending the Boneyard

Absoluteness of Nothing


Book Description

A mind-bending and captivating mystery about one teen’s surreal experiences after surviving a major trauma. Caleb Tosh has suffered one personal trauma too many, but this last one—the sudden departure of his mom—has pushed him down a dark and disorienting path. His favorite video-game, Boneyard, becomes his go-to coping mechanism, and Tosh gladly gets lost in the maps of the game rather than move through the landscape of his own grief. As Tosh falls farther and farther down the rabbit hole of abandonment and loneliness, he doesn’t see there are others fighting both virtual and real-life battles alongside him. What will it take for Caleb Tosh to leave the safety of the Boneyard, to rejoin reality, and deal with the wreckage of his actual life?




The Boneyard


Book Description

There are two realities in the world: the one you know, and the one you hopefully will never know. The Boneyard is that other place, and that is where the bone worms live. Two old men, lost together in The Boneyard when they were just six years old, now find themselves the focus of the wrath and revenge the bone worms have held for them since their escape so many years ago. At the same time, in the same city, a detective sergeant is faced with a succession of gruesome, seemingly sadistic murders that threaten not only his career, but his sanity as well. How these two stories intertwine forms the meat on the bone of The Bone Worms. Watch where you go. Watch how high you go. If you have something The Boneyard wants, they will open a door ... and pull you in. Included in the updated eBook edition: "Close the Door: The Final Chapter of the Bone Worms"

Kentucky


Book Description

Kentucky was a neutral state. The state government would not choose sides in the conflict. The story of "brother against brother" was true for many families in Kentucky. The Confederacy wanted the state, as did the Union. Incursions by Union forces against defenders at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson gave the North early victories. The Confederacy would respond in the spring and summer by interrupting communications between far flung northern commanders using ingenious methods. Battles in Perryville, Munfordville and continued guerrilla raids by Gen. John Hunt Morgan carried the conflict through 1862, only to see the Confederacy retreat from the state for the rest of the war.
