Meet Frankie Elkin, a vigilante investigator working on missing persons cold cases. She picks up where law enforcement officials leave off, going the extra (and unorthodox) mile to find missing people and bring closure to their families. In her latest case, Frankie is called to Tucson, Arizona to find a missing Afghan refugee, whose friend suspects she is in grave danger. All she left behind is a series of riddles. Sabera Ahmadi is a young mother haunted by war and determined to make a fresh start in the United States. But despite the distance she’s put between herself and her home country, the past has come back to haunt her. Local police have yet to open a case on her disappearance, and her older, domineering husband seems unconcerned. Sabera’s closest friend, however, is convinced she would never willingly leave her four‑year old daughter. At her insistence, Frankie agrees to take up the search through the broiling streets of Tucson. Just in time for a video of the Sabera to surface—showing her walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   A quote from thriller chiller writer Stephen King that has the strength to add impact to how to you think.  Plus…when it comes to news headlines, being a junkie is one thing…but how many times do you have to fall off the wagon?           I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation

SWEET & LYNCH is a brand new band centered around the talents of guitarist/vocalist Michael Sweet of Christian hard rockers STRYPER and iconic guitarist George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, ex DOKKEN) along with bassist James Lomenzo (ex MEGADETH, WHITE LION, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY) and drummer Brian Tichy (ex WHITESNAKE).

“SWEET & LYNCH was born as the brainchild of Serafino Perugino, President of Frontiers Music”, recalls Sweet. “He asked me to basically sing on this record and then I suggested producing it and co-wrote the songs with George”, continues the singer. Brian Tichy and James Lomenzo were then called in to complete the lineup. Now a complete a band, plans are being formulated to rehearse and book a tour to play the music included on this amazing debut album “Only to Rise” to the fans in a live setting.

“It’s an incredible combination of classic 70’s and 80’s”, tells Michael Sweet. “You will hear some flavors of Journey, Bad Company, Dokken, Van Halen and Stryper. James and Brian are amazing musicians. They tore it up. The drums and bass are just as impressive as the guitars. Everybody really delivered... The musicianship level on this is top notch. It sounds as if we were all in the studio playing together and we were not. Basically, George wrote some riffs about a minute to a minute and a half long. I wrote lyrics and melodies then arranged them. Then Brian and James came out and tracked the drums and bass, as well as some rhythm stuff. We then sent it back to George to add the guitars."

The combination of Sweet’s powerful, crystal clear vocals and Lynch’s unmatched guitar tone, provide the force and drive that the album needed. The result is truly a “state of the art” Hard Rock album, with fabulous melodies played to perfection.
An absolute must for all fans of Sweet and Lynch's musical stylings!
