ABSENT THE SOUL

This is my first published book. It is an anthology containing twelve of my short mysteries. Published by ePress-Online and edited by Herbert Holeman, Ph.D., Sharon L. Connors and Marlicia Fernandez, ABSENT THE SOUL is now available for purchase through ePress-Online, Lulu, and FictionwiseCover art by Cathy Bourg. Back cover photo by Larry Weidel.

DESCRIPTION: A body ABSENT THE SOUL is dead, but does it mean that if a person is alive, he or she automatically possesses a soul?

Between the covers of this collection of short mysteries, you'll find both, the living and the dead, who are ABSENT THE SOUL. You'll see the murder victims after the souls have been wrenched from their bodies. You'll step into the lives of the realistic detectives and everyday citizens who are tasked with bringing the killers to justice. You'll grow to love these characters and root for them as they sift through lies, suspects, and clues in their quest for the truth. Finally, you'll meet the killers themselves. You'll learn why they crossed over to the dark side and committed the ultimate crime of violence. If you like mystery and suspense, you'll like what you find in this collection. After reading it, you'll be happy that you are not ABSENT THE SOUL.
