The Rixey Files: The Quest for Ceasar’s Medallion

Miller is given the chance to run a very exclusive detective agency. The name of the agency is The Bishop Agency. It’s named after Miller’s employer and mentor. Miller will go anywhere in the world to recover rare items for his client. To the casual observer, The Bishop Agency looks like any other small-town detective agency. The difference is that The Agency as it’s referred to has “special clients” who employ The Agency when government law enforcement is unable or unwilling to help the clients recover their property.

The Trek to Elysium Chronicles: Volume 1: A Zombie Apocalyptic Tale

Imagine what you would do if The Zombie Apocalypse, a long time favorite topic of authors in the Zombie genre, finally happened? Would you be prepared at all and have a chance to survive or would you be unprepared and quickly die or become a Zombie? This book is the first of three that I plan to write for this series. It tracks the travels of myself and 3 friends as we attempt to escape the Zombie apocalypse. Our journey begins in Southern Illinois, in a town named Carbondale. We travel across the country attempting to reach Elysium, which one of the larger safe havens in the United States.

​Along the way we meet new friends and attempt to dispose of new enemies. The Zombie Apocalypse happened for five reasons. 1) The Nova Virus could not be controlled where it first occurred. 2) The President encouraged the infected to come to the United States for to be treated. 3) Panic ensued when word of the disease was spreading to the general American population, 4) The company charged with finding the cure/vaccine shipped contaminated serums. 5) The massive program by the government and the media encouraged people to get vaccinated against the disease. They did not realize the side-effects.
