A beautiful woman and her equally beautiful teenage daughter are subjected to horrifying experiences by a drug-addled husband and father who serves them up as sexual favors to pay his drug suppliers for providing the mind and soul destroying chemicals that transformed Crummy Keller into an amoral monster, wife-beater and all-around evil doer. This horrifying event plus the previous regular physical and mental abuse, finally drove Erica Keller, and her daughter Sonya, to flee for their lives.

Produktbeschreibung
A beautiful woman and her equally beautiful teenage daughter are subjected to horrifying experiences by a drug-addled husband and father who serves them up as sexual favors to pay his drug suppliers for providing the mind and soul destroying chemicals that transformed Crummy Keller into an amoral monster, wife-beater and all-around evil doer. This horrifying event plus the previous regular physical and mental abuse, finally drove Erica Keller, and her daughter Sonya, to flee for their lives. What follows is the metamorphosis of the daughter into a super athletic woman who learns the crafts and skills of a samurai warrior to avenge herself and her mother's shame. Sonya Keller becomes the embodiment of the Hindu goddess, Durga. It is as if she has those ten arms, each with a different weapon that destroys demons and protects the innocent - beginning with her mother and her best friend. Sonya becomes the most formidable crime fighter the drug criminals in her home town ever imagined. She exacts justice on the drug organization putting many of them in the hospital before the police and the courts lock them away for long sentences. No woman is stronger and more fearsome to the bad guys than Sonya Keller, just as Durga stoked fear in the hearts of her demonic adversaries, Sonya Keller lays waste to the thugs and modern-day demons plaguing her town. Along the way, she meets a very special man who carefully and patiently guides her along the path from rage and fear of men to a place of trust and tenderness. Finally, her discovery of true love fills the once-empty hole in her soul, much as Shiva did for Durga. The Ten Arms of Durga will leave readers asking for more from Sonya Keller. She has just scratched the surface of her abilities, intensity and ability to love.

Vernon Turner is the author of five non-fiction books on politics and public education. Meadows and Minefields is his first novel. Now, The Ten Arms of Durga joins the list of fiction and non-fiction books written by Vernon. He wrote a weekly op-ed column for five years at the award-winning River Cities Daily Tribune in Marble Falls, TX and his columns still appear regularly in The Oklahoma Observer. In previous careers, he wrote many biological and manufacturing engineering articles for scientific and trade journals. Vernon draws on a wealth of experience as a world traveler, a scientist, an educator and an engineer in various industries while living in six states, the latest being Colorado. He is a devoted researcher as his science/engineering professions required. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology and Chemistry from Ohio University and a Master of Science degree in Biology from San Diego State University. His teaching career spans the breadth of teaching anatomy as a graduate assistant at SDSU and as an anatomy laboratory instructor at Wright State University Medical School. During his six years as a combat medical specialist in the U.S. Army/National Guard, Vernon taught combat first-aid to incoming trainees. Vernon's most recent teaching career centered around teaching Language Arts and all sciences in grades 6-12 in public schools in Colorado and Texas. These years included teaching Advanced Placement Physics and AP Biology. Vernon's world travels include the United Kingdom/Scotland, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Uganda, Tanzania (where he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro), China, New Zealand and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Vernon loves sports - even played several in his day - and tries to stay fit and remain sharp of wit. He regularly thanks his former students for aiding in that action. He now lives happily with his spouse of thirty years in Denver, Colorado where he is happily owned by two spectacular Maine Coon cats.
