The John Pentgram Chronicles Vol. 1

This is the volumes of stories about John Pentgram, Anomalist. Who is this person?

Pentgram lives at the northern edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. His small home sits in the center of the Pentgram Vineyard, one of Jersey's most celebrated wineries. While his feisty mother runs the vineyard, John is free to pursue the family's other passion, the investigation of the Unexplained.

The Pentgram family has been involved in the Paranormal for over a thousand years. They have a knack for finding solutions where other investigators fail. John's mother Hayley has retired from researching, leaving the undertaking to John.

Joining John are his friends and some unusual allies. First is Amos McConnell, a Forensic Architect and amateur Cacheologist, treasure hunter. They served in the Avondale Police Dept. together and became great friends.

Amos' life mate and future wife is Allyson Haywood, investigative journalist and licensed witch. Yes, she's a witch licensed by the FBI to serve and protect the safety of the United States. Her license is held by the United Witches of America, a branch of the FBI. She becomes a major asset for Pentgram, and her accounts of their investigations are turned into bestselling books.
