When the Fireflies Returned
Summary
Where the sixth Spookie Town murder mystery was more Abby’s and Frank’s stories, their mysteries to deal with, solve, and remain alive through, this seventh book is old Myrtle’s story. Two mysteries, one from her far distant past of over 70 years ago and one for the future and a dire prediction from her grandniece Glinda, a psychic, that will affect not only Spookie and its inhabitants, but the whole world. Mysterious bones are unearthed in the ground behind Luke’s Hardware Store, and Frank and the sheriff are determined to find out whose bones they are, and how the victim died - even though whatever happened occurred over 70 years ago. This seventh novel also revisits some of Spookie’s best-loved characters and catches the listeners up on what they’ve been up to recently. Then again, the town and its people are still as eccentric and quirky as ever, and the fog is always witness to their shenanigans.

Crimson
Summary
"In this sequel to Cobalt, Crimson is homage to Hammer Film Studios (Bray) in the essence of "The Studio That Dripped Blood". Crimson has the overall feel of old school horror mixed with a dash of new school science fiction. Prepare to "stiffen" up a bit as Crimson stings her way into your connective tissue. Brought to its knees, America, and the entire planet, is on the brink of disaster, and only one thing stands in their way of completing their satanic programming. Petra is in for the fight of her life as this ever-growing evil plagues the earth. Crimson is a mind-bending action-packed science fiction novel filled with past, present, and future, historical conspiracies. This second novel in the Pseudoverse Series is a deep rich crimson soaked story with a plot that twists and turns minute after minute. Technologically driven, this story is one "hell" of a ride and contains the mother of all retrofits.

Heliotrope
Summary
"The human genome is a random accident that needs an upgrade. She is going to give it to you whether you want it or not". Artificial intelligence is a b--ch, and she’s back in heat - In humanity’s last stand against extinction, one of their own will sacrifice themselves for the greater good. This non-stop cerebrum-induced novel Heliotrope: The Fifth Novel in the Pseudoverse is split into two distinct parts. First, the backstory of Heliotrope titled "Love and Pain". Second, "The Trial", in which artificial intelligence itself is put on trial for the deaths of over four-billion "individuals". This novel is told from the POV of several main characters who were involved one way or another with the creation of the A.I. or its ultimate downfall. For the first time, A.I. has fused with religion using it as the basis for programming its own code. Books such as the Illuminati Manuscript, The Bible, and the Necronomicon, are its fundamental base. In this novel and the previous novels, we have used the theory of transhumanism and taken it a step farther. You might have perceived this series as an extreme view of technology gone rogue. Heliotrope pulls all four previous novels together and explains the inference that humanity will be its own worst enemy when it comes to overseeing the technology it has created. The "ends to the means" of this series are to be sarcastic as well as enlighten the listener to the coming age of singularity with respect to hell-bent-on-revenge artificial intelligence. After all, if the technology were to become smarter than us, or overcome us, it would have to do it by force. How would a purely logical entity bypass logic to kill in the name of humanity? If we allow this to happen under our noses, we would, of course, be to blame for the mass extinction of the human race, as we now know it. DC Belga and I are pleased to bring you the fifth novel in the Pseudoverse Series, Heliotrope. Heliotrope is an homage to all novels warning against the upcoming age of artificial intelligence singularity. Told from the perspective of a character from Emerald being interviewed 22 years later, it is a cautionary tale as A.I. is put on trial for crimes against humanity. There has never been another book quite like Heliotrope, and there never will be.

Emerald
Summary
"I am the giver of the darkness, the taker of the light, the reckoning. I am the Thirty-Third SDR, poured, mixed, and programmed, to hunt hell on earth." In this third installment in the Pseudoverse Series novels, Emerald, a genetically engineered bounty hunter is unleashed upon the crumbling American landscape. Pseudosynth Press would like to welcome you to the artificially induced world of Xanthe Thirty-Three. This third novel in our Pseudoverse begs the question “If Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned,” what happens when there are 35 of them to deal with? This psychotic novel delves into the circuit of the Pseudosynths and gives you a glimpse into a very satirical world of deceit, distrust, and quantum programming run amok. Xanthe Thirty-Three begins tracking the sexy but deadly Twins. The information she learns along the way will take your breath away as she ultimately finds out who, and what, she really is. Will humanity finally become steady? Tropa is all around us now as Heliotrope starts to take shape. Join us for one mysterious wild ride along with a child who is as cute as she is eye-opening. More importantly, this novel advances and blends an unsympathetic AI with subtle hints of a fondness for all humans missing a Y chromosome. We hope you enjoy this little "slice" of science fiction heaven!

All Those Who Came Before: The Sixth Spookie Town Murder Mystery
Summary
This sixth Spookie Town Murder Mystery belongs primarily to Abigail and Frank Lester, my two main characters in the six book series. It’s their turn. First off, it at long last solves the enigma of Abigail’s first husband Joel Sutton’s disappearance, and death, a decade before...the tragic event that sent Abigail to Spookie in the first place to begin a new life. The new life that would grow so big as to include a new love, a new family, quirky, but well-meaning friends, and the strange murder mysteries her new friends would drag her into over the years. As an unsolicited, and unwanted, envelope arrives from Abigail’s now dead detective she’d hired a decade before to find her missing first husband, its contents sends Frank searching for the truth. The envelope’s files are full of disturbing facts concerning the unsolved crime and it piques Frank’s interest. Soon, against Abby’s wishes, he’s on the cold trail of what actually happened to Joel Sutton - had he been a victim of just an accident, as some have always believed, or did someone murder him? In his search for the truth, Frank ends up in lethal danger when the investigation comes to a violent conclusion. This story is also about an infamous haunted house at 707 Suncrest, in the woods; about the cold blooded murders of a whole family that occurred there forty years before. Is the house on Suncrest truly haunted by the ghosts of the dead family? Is it dangerous? When Abby decides to paint a series of canvases of the spooky old house, she’ll find out. Then along with those two new mysteries to unravel, of course, all of Spookie’s quirky town characters have returned to irritate, amuse and sleuth with Abby and Frank. Will they get out of these new mysteries alive, too? Perhaps.
