 | | A Note Before Dying
Growing up the caretaker of a difficult mother, Mara Solomon always felt compelled to help people.
So when her neighbor needed a ride to the police station, Mara took off from her job as a musicologist at Emory University to drive her. She had no idea that she'd be taking on a murder case.
Her friend, Lynn Adastra has been brutally mangled, her body left to rot in the South River. The only clue to the motive seems to be a piece of music, scrawled by Adastra before her death. The police have no idea what to make of that.
But Mara Solomon thinks she knows.

|  | | Motherless Child
The story of a young girl trapped between two Americas of the future.
Listen to the audiobook at http://www.acole.net/visit_other_worlds/motherless_child/
Seventeen years in the making, Motherless Child reflects the vision that Adam Cole felt compelled to share about the world we are becoming. This radically different take on the future shows an America completely irrevocably split into two countries. In the Unincorporated States countless tiny communities full of disenfranchised “whites” have forgotten even their own history, while in the cities, the vast Corporation of the United States of America asks anyone not contributing to the bottom line to politely do themselves in. br />

|  | | The Girl With the Bow
Vival thought it would be straightforward to retrieve a girl from an island out at sea. But it quickly became apparent by her dark skin and independent spirit that it wasn’t her home. How did she get there? Where did she come from? If the girl knew, she wasn’t telling.
Their boat now smashed to pieces by a mysterious storm, Vival and Nyla must seek help from Tom the Incredibly Helpful Sword and two misfit criminals named Chere and Sherluck. Yet as the small world seems to collapse around them, the only thing that can save them all may be Nyla’s undiscovered talent.
In this first installment, Adam Cole follows in the tradition of C.S. Lewis, Phillip Pullman and J.K.Rowling in unfolding a rich fantasy world for children and adults.
The first in the Vie A'Lyn series, The Girl With the Bow is a book for young adults and classic fantasy readers that uses music as more than just a background idea. Each chapter of the book will be published for free at www.adamcoleworks.wordpress.com and readers who want to skip to the end can purchase the entire book at www.adamcole.selz.com/categories/all
Please follow Nyla through her adventures, and comment on what you like and what you'd like to see!
