The Burgers Brothers' Family Funeral Home
Published December 3rd 2019 by Clayton Tune
The Burgers Brothers' Family Funeral Home is dying and Donnie Burgers wants out. When Donnie expresses his desire to sell the company, he expects the passionate resistance he receives from his younger brother, Frank. What he didn't expect from his brother was the dirt covered, bulky trash bag now hiding on his closet floor.
Convincing Frank to close the home won't be as easy as Donnie imagined. When a local, stuttering cop begins asking questions about a recent grave robbery, Donnie realizes his brother's plan to save the family business is disturbing more than just their relationship.
What Lies Between the Lakes
Published September 2021 by Clayton Tune
For a competitive price, Donnie and Frank Burgers’ Funeral Home will help bury your loved ones.
For the right price, Frank Burgers will dig them back up.
This scheme brings in extra money for the home but lands Frank in a morbid mess. Picking up where The Burgers Brothers’ Family Funeral Home left off, Frank discovers an anonymous package left at his front door. Inside is damning evidence of his lucrative grave robbing.
The person who left the package blackmails Frank into recovering a bizarre object from a teenager’s coffin, setting off an amateur investigation that will lead Frank and his friends to unearth a disturbing case and an even more menacing secret.
Faced with a witness to his crimes, unexpected expenses for the family business, and the unrelenting curiosity of a small-town police officer, Frank must decide how far he’s willing to go to save the Home, and himself. And if he doesn’t listen to the peculiar warnings of a few locals, digging up too much history may bury him.

No matter how long he has yearned to escape his boring life as an ordinary teenager, nothing can prepare James Shannassy for the afternoon when he meets a figment bird called Archit and the two of them set off for the world of Nalgordia to break a centuries-old curse. Being the hero of his own fantasy adventure isn't exactly what James expected it to be, but when he finds himself caught up in an epic fight against a force of evil, he knows he might be the only one able to stop it. Archit's fate now rests entirely in his hands...and there's no turning back now!
