Two books that you do not want to miss this summer have just been released!
Leslie J. Sherrod, a native of Baltimore, celebrated the debut of her novel, Like Sheep Gone Astray, on Thursday evening. Like Sheep Gone Astray is the intriguing story of how one man's quest for wealth leads him down a path that slopes into the dark depths of destruction. Caught in an intricate web of deceit, central character, Anthony Murdock, is on the verge of losing everything--his ministry, his wife, and his integrity. It will take more than money to get him out of the mess he's made, and Anthony knows it. But will he surrender and call on God, or will he sink deeper into the pit that threatens to destroy him?

Another novel you don't want to miss is the newly released mystery, Murder, Mayhem and a Fine Man, by Claudia Mair Burney. In this gripping, yet humorous story, we meet Amanda Bell Brown, a forensic psychologist who just turned forty. Amanda's birthday plans did not include dead bodies, but much to her surprise, Amanda finds herself standing over two dead men instead of a cake. Things get messy in more ways than one, not only is the scene of the crime more than enough to leave Amanda with goosebumps, but the handsome detective who shows up to solve the crime gives her goosebumps of another kind. As Amanda works on the bizarre case with him, memories of her troubled past arise, opening the door to a journey that she's not sure she's willing to take.
