When Disaster Strikes — Ninie Hammon

Tragedy. Terror. Grace.

Though each novel in this collection of three stand-alone contemporary suspense thrillers has its own set of characters, a unique setting and a story unconnected to the other three, the books share a common thread -- in all of them, ordinary people are violently thrust into a life-and-death struggle.

But they're not merely fighting to survive a disaster they never saw coming. They're struggling to find answers to the questions the specter of imminent death has raised, answers they thought they already knew. And to understand the impossible, unexplainable occurrences--with no natural causes--that ultimately will determine who among them lives and who dies.

Black Sunshine

Will Gribbins survived a coal mine explosion that killed 27 miners, and for twenty years kept a secret about another tragedy that occurred in the mine that day after the explosion -- a secret that devastated two decades of his life. Now, he has returned home to seek forgiveness and to confess what he did -- -- only to have the fate of another crew of innocent miners placed in his hands. To save them, he must uncover what really happened in a mile-deep hole under Black Mountain that day, a story told in magical coal statues carved by a handicapped boy.

When Butterflies Cry

Grayson Addingtom returns from combat in Vietnam to find his wife in his brother's arms…and a mysterious, battered orphan named Maggie in his living room. When Maggie runs away with Grayson's two-year-old daughter, Sadie, the waring brothers must team up to look for them. They find Sadie trapped in the rocks out of reach--beneath a dam about to collapse. Grayson will have to stand there and watch his little girl drown right before his eyes ... unless the child called Maggie is much more than she seems to be.

Five Days in May

AA monster twister hurls across the prairie toward a small Oklahoma town where it slams into the lives of four people who have already set up appointments with death in some form that day. One of them is a death row inmate called Princess, who has looked into Pastor Mac Mcintosh's home through the eyes of another person and speaks into his life from the unexplainable goodness in her heart. She knows the “Big Ugly” is coming to eat up the world and she tells Mac to run! But it's too late.


From suspense author and award-winning journalist Ninie Hammon come these spellbinding stories about ordinary people whose tangled lives are marked by the specter of an impending disaster. If you enjoy rich, believable real-people characters and ever-tightening tension--coupled with Hammon's trademark dusting of “the unexplainable” -- these four books are just what you're looking for.
