Inside lives an old man with awful urges, accompanied by a Rottweiler possessed by something…unnatural.
But it’s what resides beneath the cabin that they should really be worried about.

Horror:
Andrew
Byrd figured his mother had been over-protective; the way she stood in his
doorway at night, watching him fall asleep, the way she'd call him her baby
doll, even after he was much too old for that sort of thing. But after an
accidental meeting with Mae Stone, an aunt he'd never known, he learns of his
mother's sadistic past, and the awful things she'd done.
He learns of another aunt as well - one who played an old
drum to drown out the screams coming from the basement, an aunt who didn't
survive his mother's torments.
When he
meets Mae's strange neighbors - the beautiful redhead Natalie and her father
Hector - he realizes that his mother's horrible past has not entirely
disappeared.
In fact, it has merely lain dormant, waiting for something
- or someone - to bring it raging back to the present.
Sometimes madness is buried deep, buried in the psyche for
many years waiting for just the right moment.
And now...how will they drown out the screams?
Seventeen-year
old Tommy Connell knows he’s in trouble when he goes winter camping with his
friend Vince Nguyen without telling his folks. But when they’re caught in a
sudden blizzard, and the man they rescue from freezing to death turns out to be
an escaped convict, Tommy’s troubles are only beginning. Now Tommy and Vince
must not only survive the blizzard, but also find a way to keep Quinn – who’ll
stop at nothing to stay out of prison – from killing them.
“Something every author tries for, Joel Arnold
throws out the line that reels the reader in; I was hooked from the first page.
The author also manages to make the reader feel as if they were in the story,
something difficult to do. I highly recommend reading this novel.” Book review from Love

Historical Fiction:
Winner of the Midwest Book Award for Best Young Adult Novel, 2011.
If
I had known how much my life was about to change, I would have spent that last
day in Pembina differently. I would have said goodbye to my friends and visited
the places that reminded me of Mama, especially the elm tree where she was
buried. I would have sat at her grave telling her how much I missed her, and
that I’d come back someday to visit.
But since I didn’t know any of that, I spent most of that day with Freda Two-Feathers, who
was a half-breed like me.
Half-breed.
Papa hated that
word.
“You are Métis,”
he’d say. “You are not half of anything, Claire.”
While the Civil War rages far
away, Claire and her father set out on a journey from the Dakota Territory,
hoping to catch up to the large caravan of Métis fur traders that left the day before.
Their destination? The bustling city of St. Paul, where Papa wishes to open a
photography studio. But with only Bone Bag, their one-horned ox, to pull their
squeaky cart, they soon realize they may have to make their treacherous journey
alone. Braving bad weather, packs of wolves, dangerous river crossings, starvation and exhaustion,
can Claire and her father survive the deeply rutted ox cart trails?
“Do you ever find yourself finishing a book and loving it so
much you refrain from reading for a while? You don't want to pick up another
title because it may erase the wonderful feelings you currently have. Ox Cart
Angel did that to me. I simply loved this book.” – Novella Reviews
