A little explanation is needed regarding these books. There is hardly anything religious about them. 

I was rushed to the Emergency Room three times in 2020 (one trip resulting in a five-day hospital stay), and my wife, along with some friends and family members, told me I needed to slow down on my updating of Spurgeon’s works as they felt it was taking a toll on me.

Our pastor stopped by for a welfare check, and I mentioned a public domain novel I had downloaded and offered to send him a digital copy. I realized a little updating would be in order and made some revisions “for today’s readers” before sending it. It was not a big step from there to publish it as an eBook, and later in paperback. Others followed. By the bye, I use the pseudonym [pen name] Reginald Martynique to separate my flights of fancy from my eternally serious work.

These are breaks from my “real work; the updates are not as thorough or painstaking as our modern English editions of Spurgeon and other Christian writers. Such as they are, I offer these mysteries and thrillers.

The Google website below provides links to each listing on Amazon, as well as brief descriptions and free downloads of first chapters.

We are also adding audio books for these titles, although the Spurgeon audio books have the priority.
