Valley Of Death, Zombie Trailer Park

(KECK Book 1)

Just a few miles outside of Albuquerque New Mexico in a remote valley something has gone horribly wrong. To their eternal regret some people have mistaken the screams echoing in the hills as coyotes singing to the moon. When Josey drives his truck down into the valley he quickly learns the disturbing truth. It's not coyotes howling. It's men or what used to be men. Josey discovers that the valley is home to the depraved, the noble, the damned, the innocent, the beautiful, and of course the walking dead. When the least dangerous thing you encounter is an angry rattlesnake you know you've made a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

Nestled in a remote valley, the residents of The Albuquerque Springs Trailer Park have lived out there lives nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. The trailer park is home to dozens of illegal immigrants, a hermit who has turned his back on society, a veteran of World War 2, a grumpy old woman, a family of Meth cookers known to local police officials as the Redneck Gourmets, and a beautiful young woman, are just a few.

Life was peaceful and quiet (actually quite boring) until a deadly industrial accident killed Juan, one of the illegal immigrants. His friends and neighbors promised to dispose of the victim's body. Unfortunately, he came back and disposed of them- one mouthwatering bite at a time.

Fair Winds of Death

Decades before NCIS became a television hit drama series, the real men and women of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS), both Navy and civilian personnel, solved case after case around the world without the help of personal computers, cell phones, DNA, or the Internet. They had to rely on dangerous street work, investigative skills, logic, experience, and information derived from informants to put the bad guys in the brig. And sometimes, plain old luck was the key factor.

In 1971, Lieutenant Commander Marcus Colt is the top internal affairs investigator for the NIS Washington D.C. headquarters. When the unusual cases come across the desks of the top Navy brass, this decorated officer is the one who gets handed the job. He is intelligent and driven to always succeed, but his somewhat short temper and touch of sarcasm can complicate things. For this latest case, his youthful looks and uncanny investigative skills are essential as he goes undercover as a junior enlisted man in Norfolk, Virginia. 

His mission is challenging: quickly find and stop the leaks of sensitive NIS information that have resulted in the murders of at least four confidential informants on the Norfolk Navy Base. To accomplish this difficult task, he has to build close relationships with all the personnel in the NIS unit, invade their privacy, and dig up all their secrets all while keeping his true identity and mission from them.

As the case takes unexpected twists and turns, loss of an old love, meeting a high-ranking officer’s daughter, avoiding assassins, and overcoming his own personal guilt from a previous Vietnam mission add complexity to the assignment. But both new and old friends and coworkers give Marcus the help he needs as he works to solve this case before time runs out and someone else dies.

Author Bio

Billy R. Wade, Jr. enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve in 1969. After being called to active duty, he graduated top of his class from both basic training at Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando, Florida and Yeoman ‘A’ School at NTC Bainbridge, Maryland. 

After this training, he was assigned to the Naval Investigative Service Office in Norfolk, Virginia for nearly two years in the early 1970s. While there on active duty, he earned the Navy’s Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon with ribbon device ‘S’ after qualifying as a Sharpshooter with the standard sidearm at that time, the 1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol. 

He left active service as a Petty Officer Third Class. While it was not required, Bill spent three additional years as a weekend reservist at his local Navy Reserve Center assisting with the clerical demands of the center, a Seabee unit, and a training course development unit.  

He holds degrees in Business Management and Computer Science, and studied marketing at the University of South Florida. Born in Roanoke, Virginia, he spent his teen years and much of his adult life in the Tampa Bay area of Florida before escaping to the mountains of West Virginia. 

While new to fiction writing, Bill has written several technical “how-to” articles that were published in hobby magazines. And he is nearly finished with the next adventure for his Fair Winds protagonist, Marcus Colt. He attributes his new love of fiction writing to surviving brain surgery a few years ago. As Bill phrases it, some of the connections in his brain have found “new and definitely different pathways.” 

In addition to writing, he owns and operates a hobby kit manufacturing business on his property in rural West Virginia. Bill helps the local volunteer animal shelter by fostering rescue animals with special needs. When not cutting firewood or shoveling snow, he spends his little free time staying proficient with his Colt 1911 .45 pistol to better assist with security at his church.

Tral

Jeff Miller and Laura Morales are avid Herpers. As enthusiastic members of the local Reno Herpetological Club, they enjoy nothing more than a trip into the desert to observe snakes, lizards, and other reptiles in their wild, natural habitat. With a major Club meet scheduled soon, they have chosen to spend a weekend in the southern Nevada desert, snapping pictures and videos of choice specimens to share at the upcoming meeting.

The dead man they find far into the desert had clearly been bitten by a snake, but that wasn't what killed him. Equally mysterious were some of the items they find on his body. Items that someone doesn't want them to know about, or talk about, which suddenly puts them in great danger.

On foot, out of cell-phone range for any kind of help, they are on their own as they find themselves the object of a serious man hunt, the intentions of their pursuers obvious and deadly. Trying to make their way back to their vehicle before they are discovered and captured results in a deadly encounter that reveals to them just what secrets the dead man was hiding.

As the body count grows, the chances of the pair reaching safety decreases, and only the help of a surprising ally makes it possible for them to have any chance of surviving the ordeal.

The alien who crashed his spaceship is an unknown and potentially dangerous quantity, but he has suffered at the hands of those trying to steal the advanced technology from the downed ship. Can he be trusted to help the Herpers escape, and not become a threat to the Earth later?

The Blue View:

The Uncut Journal of an Ohio Police Chief

“The hardest thing about being a police officer is you have to solve everyone else’s problems when you can’t even solve your own.”

This book is an unedited and raw journal written by a police officer over a thirty-year period. From his first day in the police academy to his last day as the Chief of Police in Middletown, Ohio, home of Hillbilly Elegy, you will feel as though you are right there with the author through the entire book, in a uniform, in a cruiser, and in his personal life. 

Never written to be released to the public, this easy to read format portrays the actual unfiltered personal journals of Chief Rodney Muterspaw, an award-winning Ohio Police Chief and Congressional guest at the Presidential State of the Union. You will feel the gamut of emotions as you follow him as a rookie, a patrol officer, investigator, narcotics officer, internal affairs supervisor, a Chief of Police, and a parent in one of the most well-known smaller cities in the Midwest. 

The Blue View will draw you in emotionally, as you will finally have access to the behind-the-scenes thoughts and experiences that most police officers will not talk about. It doesn’t matter what side you are on, it is a must read. It will change the way you think about law enforcement.

MORE ABOUT THE BLUE VIEW

Rodney Muterspaw was, for decades, a pillar of the community in Middletown—rising from junior officer on the Middletown Police force to chief during the height of the opioid epidemic. And for that entire time, he kept this incredible diary, chronicling the highs, lows, and hilarious moments of community policing. In these pages, you gain an appreciation for him, the man. 

— J. D. Vance, Author of the New York Times Best Seller and Netflix Blockbuster, Hillbilly Elegy.

Breathtaking! I grew up in the same streets as Muterspaw, but many years before he did. His vivid writing and perceptive storytelling help me to see its changes—its tragedies and its triumphs—through the world of its police. Part police drama, part social study, the chief offers valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t for the cops in an economically struggling rust belt town.

— Clarence Page, 1989 Pulitzer Prize-Winning syndicated columnist and senior member of the Chicago Tribune editorial board.

The Blue View presents a view of policing that is unlike anything I have ever read before. Beyond the good, the bad, and the ugly, Muterspaw has tracked his career in a raw and unvarnished way that will make you laugh and cry. While his self-deprecating sense of humor is the driving force of the book, he uses it to highlight real problems and real solutions within the increasingly complex world of policing.

— Stephen Robert Morse, Emmy Nominated Producer of Netflix’s Amanda Knox.

Jaw dropping! A truly honest look into a police officer’s personal world. Rewarding, heartbreaking, comical and inspiring! I laughed, I cried, and I loved it! A must read!

— Karin Johnson, WLWT Cincinnati News.

Incredibly raw, and shockingly real! Muterspaw explores the trials and tribulations of being a cop in the heartland. With an open and honest viewpoint, he holds nothing back. From his unique perspective he highlights the good, the bad, and the ugly of policing, while sprinkling in enough humor to keep the mood light.

— J. W. Cox, Award-winning writer/director, Average Joe Films.

This book portrays the reality of a rust-belt American as seen by a steel town police chief who for decades suited up to face the strengths and weaknesses of the city known as home to Hillbilly Elegy. He is a discerning, compassionate man, a good writer, and portrays life witnessed through the eyes of the Blue.

— Van Gordon Sauter, Former President, CBS News.

Till Death Do Us Part...Maybe

To be human …

… does it require blood and bones?

Gabriella West is an android, but she’s special. She lives on her own, she can fall in love, and she even searches to find God.

But there’s a catch, no one, except for her creators and the government, are aware she is a machine.

As she searches for a pathway that leads her to become more human, she finds something interesting.

And the revelation blows her mind.

When she was created, a switch was implanted in her, and its purpose isn’t a good one.

Can she discover the trigger before she gets shut down?

Will she be able to become “human” and find love, or will she be forced to comply with her main objective...

and lose everything she treasures?

How thin is the line between human and machine?

'Gabrielle' seeks to do more than present a riveting science fiction story. It carefully explores the salient differences between humans and machines, trying to identify the boundary where they cross over. If an android can think and learn autonomously, would they be human? If it can feel affection and love, if it can enjoy everything that a regular human can, including sexual relationships, would that make it human? But animals can also display these traits. There must be more to being human. Is it the search for an understanding of God that is the differentiating factor? Or is it man's ability to lie, cheat, and kill that differentiates us? In a thrilling story of intrigue and scientific development, 'Gabrielle' questions the boundary between human and machine.

A hand-selected Artificial Intelligence Lab created Gabriella to push scientific boundaries by developing an advanced humanoid. However, even the lab director and its team of brilliant scientists and engineers have no idea that the military is funding the project to develop the latest weapon on terrorism. They have commissioned an android utterly indistinguishable from a human, tasked with penetrating the most dangerous terrorist cells. Even Gabrielle has no clue as to what her real mission is. In her quest to become human, she falls in love with a divorced pastor, Paul, and his six-year-old daughter, Alexi.

Gabriella is approached by a homeland security agent and coerced into infiltrating a terrorist cell on US soil. She must choose between putting aside her newfound morals, jeopardizing her relationship with pastor Paul and risking her very life. Either choice can make her lose everything she holds dear.
