Dead Body on Bodie Island

Bodie Island Cover for Web Insertion3

An Outer Banks Mystery

Two teen boys come across a body in the grass alongside the road.

Lieutenant Diane Turnipseed of the C-District Dare County Sheriff’s Office takes on the task of searching for clues to the man’s identity.

Blood is found in a local eatery’s restroom. Then, an explosion on the beach nearly takes out the Medical Examiner, and events take a darker turn.

A storm slashes the island, threatening to obscure any remaining clues only to reveal one instead.

When a home video recorded by a Texas couple on the two-hour ferry passage from Cedar Island suggests a dead body in a man’s car, Lieutenant Turnipseed’s team hope they have turned the tide in the investigation.

Instead, a startling revelation from a teenage girl threatens to derail the investigation, only to provide the one clue that might bring this harrowing case to its final conclusion.

About this book:

A wedding, a drive halfway across the country, and a weekend on the Outer Banks for a sister who wanted to see one thing: Ocracoke Island.

And this book was born.

The book opens with two teen boys and their truck on the side of the road, their dogs in the back, and a dead body in the dunes. While driving down the Banks on that wedding weekend, we happened by a similar scene (no dead people, of course), and between us that day, we worked numerous members of the wedding party into the story.

I changed the names a bit, but I enjoyed our story so much that I wrote it down.

I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as we did.

Look for more Outer Banks Mysteries with Lt. Turnipseed and her Dare County Team coming soon!

Last Defenders

Rise of the Lady Warriors

It's the year 2041.

Six women represent America's best hope for survival.

Organized into three two-person crews, they operate prototype assault tanks built for the U.S. Military. These prototypes survive a cascade of political events that lead to the destruction of much of the world's infrastructure and political stability.

These women represent the last vestige of order and civilization in a world that no longer has room for either. They soon learn that they are not the only surviving power fighting for control.

In a world where there is no one else to whom people can turn, they step up their game and accept the challenge.

They become legendary as The Lady Warriors, the last defenders of Constitutional law, the rights of the American people, and the helpless survivors scrabbling for a toehold in a society run amok.

Yes, they are the Last Defenders.

Never has so much depended on so few.

You will be caught up in this exciting tale that pits the abilities of those in the field of battle with the military hierarchy that wants to manipulate them.

Author David K. Brown has envisioned a graphic and thought-provoking future America that feels real and could easily come true. This is a read you don't want to miss.
