The Dancing of the Crow

The Dancing of the Crow

A retired pastor hooks a corpse—and a town’s buried sins

  • Mystery

Ernest Galloway came to the Piscataquis for quiet water and smallmouth bass. Retirement was supposed to mean fly rods, not funerals. On his second backcast, the barbed hook snags torn flannel in the brush. The body belongs to Arthur Overton, a man Ernest once baptized, buried in name only among the cattails. County investigator Clara Mason treats it as homicide and eyes Arthur’s younger brother, Carl. Ernest knows Carl’s gentle nature. Duty, not curiosity, pulls him in. With librarian Lillian Cross he follows fraudulent riverfront deeds, midnight trucks on the mill road, and a salvage operator who will burn, frame, and kill to keep the land grab hidden. Before the killer strikes again, a retired pastor must choose between the peace he wanted and the truth a congregation still needs.

The Road We Choose

Two hearts, two traditions, and a journey toward a love that transcends boundaries

  • Literary Fiction

Samuel Miller has lived his life by the book. As a retired engineer and a stalwart of his strict Baptist church, he thrives on order and doctrine. But when the walls of his congregation begin to feel more like a cage than a sanctuary, Samuel buys an Airstream and heads into the rugged beauty of the Maine State Parks, seeking a connection with God that he hasn't felt in years. Enter Margaret 'Maggie' Sullivan. A Catholic widow with a vibrant spirit and a simple tent, she represents everything Samuel's rigid world has taught him to question. As they share campfires under the vast Maine sky, a friendship blossoms into a deep, unexpected romance that challenges their most fundamental beliefs. From the quiet woods of Acadia to the crashing waves of the Atlantic, Samuel and Maggie embark on a cross-denominational investigation of faith, grace, and the 'Letter of the Law.' With pressure mounting from Samuel’s traditionalist pastor and the weight of their own histories pulling at them, they must decide if their love can survive a collision of two very different worlds. The Road We Choose is a poignant exploration of late-life transformation, the courage to ask difficult questions, and the discovery that the greatest spiritual truths are often found outside the sanctuary doors.
