Jean Marie Rusin "Night of Terror"

New Britain, CT

At some point, you have to let go and trust your kids to take care of themselves-what's the worst that can happen.Right? So, when Tom and his wife leave their daughters to fend for themselves while they go out for nice dinner alone, their worst fear is that girls will burn their pizza rolls, or eat too much junk food. It's not what the girls are eating that should have them worried - but what might eat them.... Liz and Janet and Kelly think their biggest problem will be getting along with each other and keeping themselves amused, but when their dog "Lucky" begins barking furiously at the window, they get their first clue that this night may harbor something sinister, Little do they know the night of terror which lies ahead of them. Now with the Police on a manhunt for killer cannibals and a freak chemical spill in the area, the forces of horror are about to descend upon the town. Unimaginable nightmares are gathering on the streets . Eerie sounds- and far-off screams give the girls scant warning that they are in for the night - and the fight- of their lives. Fan of horror will turn a new page of action, adventure and terror as author Jean Rusin treats them to her grisly take on "home alone"in her newest tale "Night of Terror"! Lock your doors, turn on the night light and pray that you live to see the morning sun...


Carroll Thomas "Matty's War"

Farmington, CT


"MATTY'S coming!" Neely shouts as the train roars into Farmington. Sixteen-year-old Matty Trescott has just arrived from Kansas to live with relatives in Connecticut. It's Christmas 1863 and far to the south, the Civil War is raging. For Neely, though, the big news is that she and her cousin, Matty, will soon be off to school in Hartford. But unbeknownst to Neely, Matty has other plans... Matty's War is based on the life of one of the 400 women who fought in the Union Army while disguised as men.
