J&C Wordsmiths, LLC proudly announces the publication of a fictional Psychological/Thriller entitled MURDER IN TWOS AND THREES, the first in a series of TASK FORCE novels. Authors Jack Gannon and Cyndi Williams Barnier (both from Beaufort, SC) published this novel only a few short weeks ago. The duo is happy to announce their novel (book and Kindle) has been well received and currently enjoys a 5-star rating, great reviews, and placement in the top 26% of all books in Amazon. The duo has been asked to write a screenplay of their novel and it has been submitted it to the annual Beaufort Film Festival for the Festival’s February judging. The novel is currently sold on their website www.jandcwordsmiths.com as well as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Book-a-Million, and innumerable other online retailers and independent bookstores worldwide. The novel is a Psychological/Thriller following the lives of a serial killer that murders in sets of twos and threes, as well as the specialized TASK FORCE team that searches for the murderer.
This novel will have the reader loving and hating the killer at the same time. The ticking time bomb of a climax provides a unique double-surprise ending, delivering the perfect final payoff. If the pair had to give this book a tag line, it would probably be “This novel makes Hannibal look like a choirboy!”

The Man In The Woods (Virgin Killer #1)
**3RD PLACE WINNER OF THE 2017 CRAYON AWARDS** Third place winner of the 2017 Lilac Awards From the beginning, I knew what I was in for. I knew that this scenario would end one way or another. I wasn't stupid. Nobody put a gun to my head and forced me to play this game of cat-and-mouse. But I will say, I never pictured that this would occur. I stood there, my brother's silver Smith and Wesson in my hands, directing it at my deadly target. My eyes bore into his, his indicating no sign of emotion, while mine were filled with horror. "It's you," I said, my voice unsteady. He took another step closer to me, his hands in the pockets of his trench coat. A malicious grin formed upon his face. His signature expression. "Surprise," he replied before sauntering forward to finish what he started six months ago. ♠♠♠ Six months after Skyler Williamson is abducted and tortured in the woods by a serial killer, she deals with the repercussions of her unfortunate ordeal. Crippling anxiety, the results of unknown misfortunes, bubble up to the surface and rest in the foreground of her mind. And Skyler's prescribed medication can only help to a certain extent. Repressed memories of the past collide with the present, causing Skyler to be unable to distinguish what is real and what is not. When two teenage girls turn up dead, Skyler finds it is up to her to catch the man who's behind all of this... Even if this means trading her own life for the answers she so desperately needs. © The_RebelAngel 2016 STARTED: 01/01/2016 ENDED: 06/21/2017 Cover created by @The_RebelAngel on CanvaComplete

When world-renowned detective Elena Graves is summoned back to her sleepy hometown, she's reluctant but intrigued. The local sheriff, Ethan Reid-a former classmate who once mocked her obsession with solving mysteries-has reached out with a chilling case no one else can crack: a serial killer targeting victims with unsettling precision. As Elena and Ethan work together, they uncover a harrowing truth-the killer's ultimate target might be Elena herself. Struggling to stay ahead of the murderer, Ethan takes it upon himself to protect her, a decision driven not just by duty but by guilt for dragging her into the danger. The closer they get to the truth, the more old wounds resurface. Ethan reveals that he pursued law enforcement inspired by Elena's passion and as a way to reconnect with her. But instead of the closure he sought, their partnership reignites feelings he thought he'd buried long ago. In a race against time, Elena must unravel the killer's twisted motives while navigating the tension between her and Ethan. As the mystery deepens, so does their connection, leaving them both to wonder if they can survive the deadly game-or if their rekindled bond will shatter under the weight of the secrets they uncover.Complete

Playing God (Helford #2)
*This is a sequel to Toy Soldiers* It didn't surprise me when I got caught by a third party while I was on the run. They tied me up and put a hood over my head; I lost my sense of direction somewhere along the way. When we reached our destination, it was very cold. They held me a hundred feet up above a sparkling blue ocean, covered in frost, and they asked me who I was. At first, I had nothing to say. And then I smiled, and I told them, "My name is Caitie Alastair, and I'm going to watch the world burn." They pushed me off the edge, and I fell through the frigid air, falling toward thin ice, thinking about a boy I once knew. And then the world went cold.Complete
