:D I've got some junk books to give away...and city wide garage sales are coming up soon. The whole town will have the opportunity to buy multiple copies of all of Dan Brown and Norah Roberts' classics. :D

To quote Oliver: 'Please sir, I want some more!" (Translated: we ain't done yet!)
 
The Dark Half by Stephen King.

Anyone read it? Still trying to figure out if I like him or not... very intriguing, but extremely "out there"...
 
I really liked The Dark Half, thought was one of King's best.

Eden's Atlantis

Eden's Atlantis by Dawn Bergemann

Synopsis:

On the local school grounds of Wilkinson Village, Tishaura Candory witnesses the death of her sister, Kris at the age of eight. Twenty years later she is contacted by a mysterious caller and given the chance to free her sister from the spiritual bondage caused by her suicide. Disbelieving, she follows the path set before her, along with Charlie, Lucas and Alex, three people from her past that will force her to remember a childhood of pain and evil. She is thrown into a world of magic, time, dark gatherings, love and secrets spanning the ages.

Along the way, she begins to discover the twenty-year-old secrets of The Gathering, a clandestine cult who had Kris under their control, and who have sent a demonic hunter to stop her from completing her task, who will follow her through time in order to stop her from finding the key into Eden’s Atlantis. Tish finds out that the emotional journey that takes place along side the physical one, needs to be reconciled when she is pushed to the end of her tether.
