Product: The Anlon Cully Chronicles (4 Book Series) From Book 1: For fans of Dan Brown's Robert Langdon novels, a riveting archaeological mystery.
World-renowned scientist Anlon Cully is unexpectedly swept into the thick of a suspense-riddled adventure when his archaeologist uncle, Devlin Wilson, dies under suspicious circumstances.
Prior to his "accidental" fall off a New Hampshire mountain trail, Devlin made the discovery of a lifetime - unearthing undeniable proof that a technologically advanced society thrived on Earth long before archaeologists thought possible!
The key to this shocking evidence lies in a set of mysterious stones forged by a long forgotten race of ancient mariners. Instilled with formidable powers to build, communicate, fight and heal, the stones draw the ruthless attention of villainous thieves hell bent on their acquisition by any means possible...including murder.
Aided by friend Pebbles McCarver and police detective Jennifer Stevens, Anlon follows traces of bewildering clues left by his uncle in a dangerous chase to unravel the stones' secrets before the killer strikes again and escapes with the priceless artifacts.
Peppered with the thought provoking intrigue of a Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child thriller, Shadows of the Stone Benders leaves readers questioning the technological prowess of modern man and the belief that Neolithic humans were nothing more than unsophisticated cave dwellers.

Product: Curse of the Painted Lady (The Anlon Cully Chronicles Book 3) When an acquaintance is robbed and murdered, scientist Anlon Cully and detective Jennifer Stevens suspect they know the motive for the crimes. But then Anlon's companion Pebbles McCarver is kidnapped, changing everything.

For the puppet master behind Pebbles' capture is a ten-thousand-year-old tyrant who demands an impossible ransom -- the return of an ancient relic lost to the ages -- leading Anlon and Jennifer on a desperate quest to find the relic and rescue Pebbles before the tyrant adds Pebbles to her long list of victims.
