Demus Divining: Fate Forecasting Phone Returns
While scavenging through flotsam for resalable items in the mangroves off the IntraCoastal Waterway, thirteen-year-old Demus Crump pulls a floating man near death into his small skiff along with a waterproof blue case containing a prophetic flip phone and its charger.
With his mystical treasure in tow, Demus begins to hear demonic chanting. Spooked, the boy is chased from the mangroves to his home on a canal in West Palm Beach, Florida. Voodoo priestess, Lucretia Laveau, watches from the shore as her beloved grandson rows feverishly to escape the haunting presence closing in on him. Lucretia fends off the evil spirit only to discover that Demus' discovery, the cursed phone, plagues the family and loved ones of all those who possess it. She knows she must devise a plan to get rid of the vile juju and save her family and community from its ill effects.

About the author
Jeff Lyon
7 books2 followersJeff Lyon writes adventurous tales laced with humor from personal escapades. His stories are based on actual events and filled with extraordinary characters encountered in fascinating locales. Names are changed to protect the far from the innocent, and facts are altered only when needed to avoid the tedium of memoirs.
After graduating from the University of North Texas, Jeff decided to go skiing for a season in Winter Park, Colorado. He stayed for four years. Jeff returned to Texas and worked as a Health Inspector for seven years and then three years as a Fire Marshal for the city of Lewisville.
Jeff moved to Florida with his girlfriend, Karen Reneau, married her, and became a professional boat captain. He spent the next four years running sailboats and power yachts up and down the Atlantic coast from Chesapeake Bay to Trinidad, South America.
Jeff survived twelve winters in Chicago, Illinois. He spent his summers managing DuSable Harbor, captaining other peoples' boats on Lake Michigan, and winters writing.
Dozens of Jeff's travelogues have been published in newspapers and magazines. Jeff's first published novel Hank is a testament to his hillbilly great-uncle. His second novel, Bliss, documents the hilarious growing pains during Lewisville's spectacular building boom. Jeff's third work was Ski Bum Chronicles. It’s a fantastic journey through the wide eyes of a Texas kid living his dream in the majestic Rocky Mountains.
Jeff returned to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He captained yachts and published his fifth novel, Sailing Escape, before moving north four years later.
Living in Charlotte, North Carolina, Jeff veered from personal-experience novels to working on a paranormal trilogy about a Voodoo cursed flip phone that predicts dire accidents and death. The first two have been published, and the third book is well underway.
Jeff currently lives with his wife Karen in Chattanooga, TN, and hopes this will be their last move.
