Author James Summers releases ‘Picking Murphys’

Novel tells story of ancient evil spirit that takes interest in family of four, settle old scores with few old friends

LA FAYETTE TOWNSHIP, Ind. – Author James Summers took a lovely trip to California and became lost in its rich diversity. His knowledge of wine tasting, olive oil tasting and mining became his source of inspiration in writing “Picking Murphys,” (published by Xlibris).

Matthew is a happily married father of two boys who works a lot to keep his family afloat. Susan is his stay at home wife who manages their household and works hard to keep the family happy. Robbie is their oldest son and is currently enjoying sixth grade and some outdoor nature activities. On the opposite end of the United States is Chloe, an entrepreneur and single mother of one lovely daughter named Ruthie. Their lives intertwine when an ancient evil spirit is released and takes an interest in Matthew and Susan, culminating in a very structured game of cat and mouse. Good spirits get involved and follow the evil spirit’s attempt to put an end to it once and for all.

“Picking Murphys” is all about the good in evil, the evil in good and everything in-between. Summers thrives in the darkness that lies in everyone and focuses exclusively on psychological horror. He paints a subtle mixture of what the mind sees and thinks whether or not it can get away with it.
