Family Secrets
Family Secrets By: William Stricklin Family Secrets discloses the darkest secrets over a thousand years. This nonfiction book is evidence that the writer’s family may be firmly founded on the five strong pillars of murder, betrayal, greed, lust, and incest and has far more than its fair share of family secrets. Research over half a century has created this book not to be put down: a pregnant nun; the secret library in the Strickland Manor where Catherine Parr, Queen of England and Henry VIII’s sixth wife, locked prohibited books away from the castle in order to keep her head from being chopped off; regicide of a boy king by his stepmother; a hunting trip in which Stricklin’s forebear puts a hunting javelin between the shoulder blades of his best friend… then hastily married his gorgeous wife fourteen days later; a ménage during a coronation dinner including a new bride and new mother-in-law; abduction of Stricklin’s two-day-old maternal great-grandmother during a Comanche raid and the saga of her escape from slavery; and the murder trial of Katie Stricklin who used arsenic to poison her family.
Till the Bitter End
The first ten years of my career in education was as an elementary school teacher. Nevertheless, the focus of my book is on my twenty-three years as an assistant principal. Utilizing true stories and conversations, I attempt to illustrate how poor leadership transformed a once proud school district into Pittsville. There is no possible way that I would have ever attempted to write my story, had not my career taken so many twists and turns. Working for twelve principals, in spans that ranged from two months to seven and a half years, enabled me to develop my own set of strategies, learn what ideas worked, and accumulate enough stories that made me angry, made me laugh, and motivated me to write my story. In closing, bitterness is not a character trait becoming to anyone, yet bitterness is what motivated me to write my story.
Bad Witch Burning
For fans of Lovecraft Country and Candyman comes a witchy story full of Black girl magic as one girl's dark ability to summon the dead offers her a chance at a new life, while revealing to her an even darker future. Katrell can talk to the dead. And she wishes it made more money. She’s been able to support her unemployed mother—and Mom’s deadbeat-boyfriend-of-the-week—so far, but it isn’t enough. Money’s still tight, and to complicate things, Katrell has started to draw attention. Not from this world—from beyond. And it comes with a warning: STOP or there will be consequences. Katrell is willing to call the ghosts on their bluff; she has no choice. What do ghosts know of having sleep for dinner? But when her next summoning accidentally raises someone from the dead, Katrell realizes that a live body is worth a lot more than a dead apparition. And, warning or not, she has no intention of letting this lucrative new business go. Only magic isn’t free, and dark forces are coming to collect. Now Katrell faces a choice: resign herself to poverty, or confront the darkness before it’s too late.

A History of Our Irish American Cody Family
The Cody family originates from County Kilkenny, Ireland where they were known as Cody, MacOdo or Archdeacon. Most of them went by the surname of Archdeacon. James Archdeacon (b.1700) was the father of Edmund Archdeacon (1720-1794) who was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and immigrated to Prince Edward County, Virginia. He married Ann Oldham and they were the parents of eleven children. Descendants live in Virginia, Mississippi and other parts of the United States.
