LEGACY
Book 4 in the award-winning Cotten Stone series
THE
HADES PROJECT
“Whosoever
possesses the Holy Lance holds in his hand the destiny of the
world.”
~ Legend of the Holy Lance ~
 It
was forged by the seventh generation grandson of Adam, used to
pierce the side of Christ at the Crucifixion, and possessed by
some of history’s most powerful men—Constantine, Attila the Hun,
Charlemagne, Adolf Hitler, Harry Truman. Now the ancient relic is
about to be used again. This time by the Forces of Evil to bring
mankind to its knees.
From a secret tunnel beneath the Kremlin, to the Secret Archives
of the Vatican, to the guarded treasury vault of the Ethiopian
church housing the Ark of the Covenant, Cotten Stone, the daughter
of an angel, races to find the Holy Lance before it falls into the
hands of her mortal enemy, the Son of the Dawn. For the relic
itself is made from the rarest element on earth, a material
needed to power the Hades Project. Time is running out as Cotten
confronts the man who now holds in his hand the destiny of the
world, a man who died over 85 years ago.

Project is an exceptional novel, a dark labyrinth of suspense,

THE LAST SECRET
“We could be looking at the
handwriting of God"
 A
mysterious crystal tablet is unearthed among the ruins of an
ancient civilization in the cloud-shrouded Peruvian Andes.
Inscribed upon its surface are cryptic glyphs revealing a secret
that could affect everyone on Earth. But before it can be
translated, it is destroyed by the forces of Evil. Another tablet
is found in crumbling Anasazi ruins beneath the towering mesas of
New Mexico. It, too, disappears before the secret can be
revealed. Of the twelve original crystal tablets given by God to
the spiritual leaders of the ancient world, only one remains.
The single
clue to its location: "To enter the Kingdom of God, you must
thread the needle."
Only one
person can solve the clue to the tablet's whereabouts and decipher
its message to the world--Cotten Stone, the daughter of an angel.
After the
Grail
Conspiracy, famed journalist Cotten Stone is at the top of her
craft until one of her discoveries is proven to be an elaborate
hoax. Disgraced and outcast, the struggling reporter finds
herself in the midst of an ancient mystery that holds the key to
surviving Armageddon. Racing to recover the last secret before
the
Fallen Ones do, Cotten comes face to face with her terrifying
destiny--a legacy to battle the
Son
of the Dawn until the End of Days.

THE GRAIL CONSPIRACY
“Finding the Grail was just
the beginning"
From a newly unearthed
crusader's tomb in Iraq to the guarded treasure vaults of the
Vatican to a secret genetics lab on the banks of the Mississippi,
THE GRAIL CONSPIRACY uncovers a sinister plot of ultimate revenge.
 A small wooden box hidden
for centuries is passed on to network correspondent Cotten Stone
by a dying archaeologist. With his final breath, spoken in a
language Cotten has not heard since childhood, he declares that
she is "the only one who can stop the sun . . . the dawn." Unable
to open the box, Cotten seeks the help of John Tyler, a noted
biblical historian and Catholic priest on leave of absence from
his duties but not his vows. Inside the box, they discover a cup
wrapped in a cloth bearing the insignia of a powerful medieval
order that professed to be the Guardians of the Grail.
Cotten is propelled into the
headlines as she and John deliver the Cup to the Vatican for
authentication, and she reports the story of its journey from
Calvary to cable TV. But her life quickly becomes caught up in a
global plot driven by an ancient sect devoted to bringing about
the Second Coming. As those around her fall victim to the Grail
Conspiracy, Cotten soon learns her true legacy and must question
if she is stopping an abomination or is she working on the side of
Evil. In the final conflict she learns why she is the only one
who can stop the ultimate revenge against God by the Prince of
Darkness. Praise for THE
GRAIL CONSPIRACY:
"Spellbinding!"

Many centuries ago, in part of the world we now call the Caribbean, a
courageous young woman lost all that she loved--but found the strength
to start a new life . . .
She is like nothing they had ever seen before. Her face is oddly
compellingly shaped. Her wrist is draped with a beautiful bracelet,

girl in desperate need of help. She is beautiful, passionate,
breathtaking.
She is Nyna . . . Frightened and weak, Nyna has no one to turn to. She
lost both of her parents when her peaceful seaside village was

will never accept her. Joog is her protector, her only true friend.
And when she finds herself in terrible danger, his love is the only
thing that can save her . . .

About Lynn Sholes
As a native
Floridian, Lynn Sholes was intrigued by the prehistoric people
of salvage ancient Indian sites before their destruction
and petitioning for preservation of sites. These activities birthed
the seed ideas of her first six novels, writing as Lynn Armistead
McKee.
After reading an article more than ten years ago in Discover magazine,
the idea for The Grail Conspiracy was conceived. The article
was about an archaeological dig in Jerusalem. One of the
archaeologists stayed late on Christmas Eve, and as he brushed away
the dirt, something silver glinted in the setting sun. It was a cup
which he had reason to believe was The Cup, the Holy Grail. Resting in
the bottom of the artifact was a brown residue that proved to be human
blood, type O negative. And wouldn’t that be just the blood type of
Christ—universal donor? Lynn and
Joe Moore, the co-author of The
Grail Conspiracy, teamed up and the tale started spinning.
Lynn has a B.S. in education from East Carolina University. She trains
teachers to teach writing for Broward County Schools in Florida, the
fifth largest school district in the country. Lynn develops the
content and facilitates face-to-face and online workshops, training
over a thousand teachers a year.
Lynn has presented writing workshops and lectures through The Florida
Center for the Book, Backroom Writers, Florida Romance Writers,
Writer’s Connection, and others. She has been a featured speaker at
Brevard Community College, West Regional Library, Broward Community
College, Friends of the Library, American Association of University
Women, The Broward County Historical Society, Plantation Historical
Society, The Graves Museum, National Council for Teachers of English,
and other organizations. She has been interviewed on television and in
newspapers (The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald, Coral
Springs Forum) and Cultural Quarterly magazine. Currently, she is a
member of Mystery Writers of America,
Florida Writers Association, the
International Thriller Writers, and
The Authors Guild.
