Maureen Lewis is a powerful force in Mississippi State government. Already the Consumer Protection Director for the Attorney General's Office at age 34, her Consumer Protection Act is signed into law and gives her department real firepower in fighting con artists and fraudulent business practices around the state. What Maureen doesn't know is that Attorney General Frank Cash and several other influential people are embezzling from the office and prepared to frame her if the scheme goes awry. One runs a car dealership which is scamming thousands of dollars from customers in its service department. The car dealer - who is in on the scheme - is Maureen's first target after the bill becomes law. 
Angry when she is pulled off the case and suspicious when she is forced to transfer to a position she doesn't want, Maureen and a fellow employee stage a risky break-in and retrieve crucial e-mail correspondence from the computer of the woman chosen to replace her. She not only uncovers evidence of the scam, but clues that point toward a web of corruption originating from the office. She resigns and makes her concerns public through the media, which results in a series of anonymous e-mails sent to her home. Now convinced that her safety as well as her reputation is in danger, Maureen lists the aid of two friends and conducts her own investigation - with terrifying results.

"Judgment Day" is a literary thriller set in fictional Oakdale, Mississippi. Bud Crisler, a legendary high school football coach, returns to his tiny alma mater and puts the school back on the map, winning a series of state titles and becoming the toast of the town in the process. But Gary Quinn, now an Oakdale police officer, was humiliated when he was cut from Crisler's first squad. Still angry (and carrying the torch for his late father, who was picked on by Crisler and his friends in high school a generation ago), Quinn carries out an extortion plot when he learns of Crisler's secrets. Subplots involving an alcoholic hairdresser, a high school principal and an ex-jock turned car salesman all come together as Quinn tightens the screws against his former coach on the eve of a crucial playoff game. A highly atmospheric Southern novel, loaded with passionate characters whose flaws make them all the more relatable.

Just seven months after a murderous rampage by a crazed police officer, the close-knit, north-Mississippi community of Oakdale is rocked again when widowed socialite Sherry Rutledge is found dead in her swimming pool by daughter Nancy. Sherrys younger daughter Caitlyn, who admits to being in her mothers house around the time of death, is the initial suspect when a neighbor with motivations of his own implicates her to the police. But everything changes when eight-year-old Holly Bryan tells older brother Keller who grew up three houses from the Rutledges and is dating Caitlyn that she saw Nancy push Sherry Rutledge into the pool that evening. Keller, meanwhile, is in the process of assuming legal guardianship of Holly when his mothers behavior suddenly becomes erratic and his father (allegedly on a business trip) doesn t return his frantic calls. Suddenly Keller doesnt know who to trust: from the grim, hard-to-read police chief...to the daycare director that seems intent on ripping the Bryan family apart... to Caitlyn, the love of his life.

After running a 10K race in his hometown of Oakdale, Mississippi, Chris Brantley decides to stop at a convenience store for a soft drink before heading home to Rankin County. Doing so turns his life upside down. Loyal to his wife, Angie, but trapped in a loveless marriage, Chris is smitten when he runs into old flame Lisa Crosby. And Lisa has feelings for Chris, too. They begin corresponding almost daily, and he thinks every day about making her part of his life. But Lisa has a rich, possessive, hulking ex-husband named Ed Youngblood who can not let go. Lisa is so frightened of his wrath that when her biological daughter, Dorothy King, contacts her out of the blue and wants to get to know her birth mom, she s willing...as long as Ed never finds out Dorothy is not his child. Dorothy does learn, however, that Chris Brantley is her father, and reaches out to him after Lisa is killed in a car accident. And when Chris and Dorothy (who bond immediately) compare notes on the death of Lisa, it is clear this was more than just a tragic crash. It does not take them long to learn that Ed Youngblood, though not directly responsible, did have a role. And Youngblood, once he learns of Chris and his attempts to get both the Oakdale PD and the local TV station to look closely at him, orders an employee to take Chris off the board. Taken at breakneck speed, Last Chance Texaco is a classic Southern thriller loaded with twists, turns, and unforgettable characters both good and evil which populate the tiny town of seemingly-serene Oakdale. Both bittersweet and heartwarming, it is a story that will get under your skin and stay there.

Last Chance Texaco

Tripp Kelly is an easygoing film professor at the university in Oakdale and is well-liked by students and faculty members. Newly married to a former student named Dana, he has never been happier and loves what he does, which includes putting on a popular independent film festival each spring. He is also a serial killer. When Martina Donovan, a traveling pharmaceutical rep, disappears after detouring through Oakdale on her way to visit a close friend in Orlando, Tripp is questioned by the sheriff when the friend in Orlando (Rachel Green)explains that Tripp was obsessed with Martina back in college and insists Tripp saw her the night she disappeared. When Martina never turns up, Rachel herself moves to Oakdale. She is ready to start a new chapter in her life . . . and she wants to observe Tripp Kelly up close. By then, Tripp is walking a tightrope. His mother-in-law moves to town after her husband suffers a fatal heart attack, and Tripp is having an affair with another film student when the mother-in-law dies under highly suspicious circumstances. This time the sheriff puts real heat on both Tripp and Dana, but Rachel Green has the strong sense that her old classmate will again get away scot free. She vows to prove the beloved film professor is a killer. Even if it means putting her own life (and the life of her new love, an investigator with the sheriffs department)in grave danger.

Director's Cut

Photojournalist Duane Key is almost fifty when the first clue gets his attention: a text message refers to his upcoming milestone birthday as 40. Flattery will get you everywhere, he replies. Several days later, as he is being bombarded with the number 35 (the price of a can of green beans, the morning temperature, a song on a radio countdown), he mentions the numerical coincidences to an old friend but finds them more curious than troublesome. That soon changes as Duane, a devoted father but a flawed man, feels a strong need to ask forgiveness of the people he has hurt and even goes to a priest for guidance. He ends his romance with a woman half his age, then attempts to reconcile with his ex-wife and grown daughter when he learns that his ex is near death. The numbers keep coming ... 20, 19, 18 ... and it soon dawns on Duane what really might be at stake: he might not live past the countdown. Which, based on the calendar, ends Easter Sunday. His concern, which swiftly borders on fright, increases each day. Who will take him seriously if he shares his deepest fears? The priest? His wife? His best friend? His girlfriend, who he loves with all his heart? Six-year-old Chad, the son Duane absolutely adores? And what if Duane, after feeling strongly enough to make major revisions in his will, is wrong ... about everything? Taking place in the seemingly serene Mississippi community of Oakdale, 40 Days is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the ultimate leap of faith for a man who realizes he must do better. If there is time.
