About this ebook

Now available: all three parts of Sailor Stone's new series. You get: The Jairus ManThe Bleeding Woman, and Talitha Cumi as an epic, full-length novel in The Girl on a Cross. All for one great price!


She hangs on a cross, her soul in a land—eternal—closer to death than life…

Chosen to be a ball-girl at the world's biggest tennis tournament, thirteen-year-old Maria Martin came north to New York from the Georgia peach country with a racket in her hand, a dream in her orphan-heart, and two evil men chasing after her—for she'd just found (and then hid) their darkest secret in the days before she left—and they will stop at nothing to get it back.

Russell Tucker is the comeback champ. He is a man, who, on the evening after his biggest court victory, somehow finds himself trying to save the life of his newly befriended ball-girl as she is being savagely attacked in her hotel. But he is overpowered by her attackers, and as they go to shoot him down, this young girl dives between him and their gun and takes his bullet.

Holly Stone is a world-renowned singer, remarried and on top of the charts, her life is perfect. Until her brand new husband, the man she thought she knew so well, assaults her in their own home.
Afraid for her life and with nowhere else to go, she takes a long red-eye flight to her childhood home where she finds her ex-husband desperately fighting to save a young girl's life.


Benny Gluman is a snoop; he's a paparazzi reporter and he's hell-bent on destroying the lives of Russell and Holly.
Join him as he looks through his camera lens and tries to figure out just what they are up too with this young girl lying comatose in a bed on Russell's beach estate and then listen in with him as Russell and Holly give Maria something to cling to as they tell her the story of their lives in this epic coming-of-age tale that brims with love, hope, and new discovery.

But they must wake her quickly, for evil comes their way, and it seeks the secrets that Maria found in the shadows of that basement garage and then hid away so well.

The Girl on a Cross
Author

Sailor Stone

Sailor Stone lives in the southern United States on the Atlantic coast where he stays busy writing novels and short stories in many genres, including Magical Realism, Coming of Age, Christian Literary, and Thrillers. His stories often feature protagonists that are trying to find their way in a cold and uncaring world, and where many times they get a slight - sometimes helpful, sometimes painful - nudge toward the truth from the supernatural.  Besides writing, he enjoys playing sports, photography, and studying the arts, philosophy, and religion. He likes discovering great books written by great authors, tasting new beers and wines, playing tennis, sitting in the back of a darkened nightclub and listening to a jazz trio take a long ride, being out on the open water in a boat, and worshiping quietly in the back of a church.  He considers the enjoyment of all the above to be multiplied exponentially by the accompaniment of his family and friends.
