There is a chicken thief living in my town! This is just crazy. One of the local farms was robbed of over 100 of his chickens in the middle of the night. This was not a predator, but rather two legged evil humans. I have felt pretty lucky that no predators have gotten to my sweet ladies yet, but I know this is a constant threat and I am somewhat mentally prepared for such a disaster. I am not however prepared for chicken thieves that are human. My small flock of four most likely isn’t even a blip on the radar, so I doubt I really have anything to worry about, but I am heartbroken for the family who lost so many chickens in one night. The farming community here is pretty close, so there is a good chance they will be caught.

Dark dangers, startling secrets and a life transformed forever…
“Baron Ford, he says and pauses to pick apart my expression, attempting to read how familiar I am with that name. I nod stiffly to give no indication I know exactly, who that is. I’m shocked to hear that name in this setting, at this stage of my life, the one far away from Cambridge, Massachusetts over five years later.”
Advertising Exec, Clarity Parker thought she’d never see Baron Ford again. Five years ago, they shared the date of her life and then he literally vanished into thin air. Now he’s back and has asked that she, exclusively, be assigned to his multi-million dollar account.
Clarity makes every effort to avoid Baron but when he finally catches up to her he issues a warning–things are not safe for her anymore, especially since the creepy fog has settled over Manhattan.
Before the foggy day is over Clarity’s entire world will come crashing down. Everything about her life that she thought was true is a lie. There’s no time to get answers because Baron was right, her life is in danger, and so is his.
One thing’s for sure, the world as Clarity Parker knows it will never be the same.

Ben Rehder
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Edgar Award finalist Ben Rehder’s Blanco County comic mysteries have made best-of-the-year lists in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Field & Stream.
Buck Fever was nominated for the prestigious Edgar Award for Best First Novel.
It’s the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday as you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy. Marlin’s seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn’t exactly a stranger either. It’s the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin’s life. Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this debut comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas.

Storyline
Bruce, Mark, and Charles have long been the school bullies, tormenting younger and weaker kids. But they go too far the day they try to make their fellow student, Johnny, enter the dreaded crawl space under the school cafeteria’s stage. Everyone knows the crawl space is haunted by a boy who entered it and never returned, and Johnny is terrified. But fortunately, the school principal catches the boys before it’s too late. As punishment, she offers them the choice of notes to their parents or spending the weekend cleaning out the crawl space. More scared of their parents than the rumor of a ghost, they choose the latter.
But once they are alone in the school, the boys discover that not only is the crawl space haunted, but so is the rest of the school. When the ghost gives the boys a riddle to solve, they must make many difficult choices to ensure their survival. However, the reader gets to participate in making these choices, which range from which hallway to go down to which key to use to open a mysterious box. Whether the boys survive their punishment is as much the reader’s responsibility as it is that of the boys’ themselves, but just as the boys can’t control the supernatural events happening to them, even the reader won’t be able to control the storyline completely.
