Ellie Beallie


Book Description

Author, Illustrator: Marcel Ray Duriez They say that a dog has known smarts, see throw her eyes... See, feel, and act as she would... Faith grade reading. "I believe that Sammie is like any young girl that has a special bond with her pet. Ellie is an exciting out-going dog that you will just want to know more about. She is going to tell you her story through her eyes. Her many life lessons, many events that happened she will talk about. So, come on the journey with her and Sammie. A longer book, based off of the children's story for younger readers, now has a sequel for older pre-teen readers MG. I created the artwork to capture the many scenes in the stories, to draw the reader into Sammie and Ellie's domain. The characters have unique personalities that you will enjoy reading about. I enjoy the processes of writing and illustrating. Seeing the characters as they go from sketches to full-color is like they have their own dispositions. I never get tired of seeing my vision come to life. I like to work towards achieving my dreams to "Strive for Perfection". I would like to give thanks to those who supported me over the years."

What Harms You


Book Description

A riveting thriller that puts the New York Times bestselling author squarely in the same league as Patricia Cornwell and Jefferson Bass, the Locard Institute Thriller series draws on Lisa Black’s real-life scientific expertise and her skill in crafting complex and dynamic female characters, as two female forensic experts team up to solve the deadliest and most devious crimes. The Locard Institute is a state-of-the-art forensic research center where experts from around the world come together to confront and solve the world’s most challenging and perplexing crimes. When Dr. Ellie Carr arrives for her first day as an instructor at the prestigious facility, the buildings glimmer amid the brilliant fall foliage on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. But within hours a colleague, Dr. Barbara Wright, is found dead on the floor of a supply closet. Her death appears to be an accident—but Ellie and her new supervisor, Dr. Rachael Davies, suspect a more sinister explanation. A young woman attending a professional training program then disappears, only to be found in a gruesome tableau. Other than their link to the Institute, there seems to be no connection between the student and Dr. Wright. Although forensic traces are elusive, Ellie and Rachael are determined to find the bizarre link between the violent and diverse deaths. As reporters shatter the privacy of Ellie’s new workplace, she searches old files and finds evidence of a crime that feels much too personal. But who, among those dedicated to justice, could be the threat? No matter how skilled she and Rachael may be in uncovering the truth, they may not be able to prevent a well-schooled killer from striking again.
