Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."      He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice."…

                           A portion of the fifth chapter of my WIP, tentative title: Seeing . . .        They ate in silence, a covert solitude between strangers whose lives had intersected. Micah rarely had a companion traveling with him. In fact, it had been several years since his sister accompanied him on a quick day…

                                       The Chill of Night by James Hayman is the second book in the McCabe and Savage Thriller Series. I decided to give Mr. Hayman a second chance because The Cutting was a good story – and would've been better minus an abundance of f-bombs and explicit sex scenes. So I purchased The Chill…
