Readers Are Leaders - Buy a Boy a Book!"I wrote the 'Caden Chronicles' series with boys in mind," says author Eddie Jones. "The 'Caden Chronicles' books are short murder mysteries with a spiritual supernatural element. Dead Man's Hand addresses the myth of ghosts. Skull Creek Stakeout addresses the myth of vampires (it started in the Upper Room). Dead Low Tide addresses the myth of zombies and the walking dead. Rumor of a Werewolf deals with powerful men who refuse to honor God and are turned into beast-like creatures (Book of Daniel).
"Immediately his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. Let him live with the animals of the earth. Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal." ~ the Bible "werewolf"
