Devil's Messenger signing scheduled for July 28 at Hastings in Joplin
The third Joplin signing for Randy Turner's novel Devil's Messenger has been scheduled for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, July 28, at Hastings Books, Music and Video in Joplin.
The novel is a combination horror story/murder mystery. It is also available at Changing Hands
Book Shop and Always Buying Books in Joplin, and from Pat's Books in Carthage. It can be purchased directly from the author
or over the Internet from such sites as Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com
From the back cover:
On one hot August night, 15-year-old Cassandra Harper’s life is shattered. First, she becomes a victim of date
rape, then the body of her father, Richard Harper, is found slumped over the computer he gave Cassandra for her 14th birthday.
From that point on, Cassandra withdraws from the world, reserving her communications to her anonymously-written blog…and
to instant messenger conversations with her dead father. Devil’s Messenger, a combination horror story and murder mystery,
is the story of how Cassandra battles from the brink of despair to reclaim her life, and her evil father who attempts to continue
his reign of terror from beyond the grave. Adding to the mix is Richard Harper’s murderer, who is manipulating Cassandra’s
family and everyone else in the small community of Westport seeking the hidden fortune that Harper left behind. Devil’s
Messenger is a roller-coaster ride of terror from beginning to end.

Finally, I have been able to get on this site to edit it. Some of you are aware
that Tripod notified me several days ago that I would have to start rebuilding Wildcat Central from scratch. I have done so.
You can reach the new site by going to www.wildcatcentral.com
This site will continue to be available, but will probably not be updated very
often, if at all. The picture pages will remain up, as will the archives pages, even though I plan on moving some of the archives
to the new site.
Thank you for your patience!
