Previously published as Anna’s Secret

Kelly McWinter is a former Fort Worth police officer who suffered a personal tragedy that caused him to quit the force and isolate himself in the community of Indian Creek, Texas. Kelly is the Clint Eastwood, John Wayne type of man who makes everyone feel safe.  The characters at Indian Creek are so unique and eccentric that readers and reviewers alike have fallen in love with the regulars who frequent Cam Belcher’s Hideaway Bar and Barbecue.

Tammy from Fallen Angel reviews describes the Kelly McWinter P.I. mysteries as “A fabulous mixture of Texas humor, heart-pounding action, sexy nuances and mounting suspense. There’s plenty of excitement, plenty of intrigue, a local flavor to tickle the toughest of taste buds and a good serving of hot, steamy romance to titillate the senses.”

Here’s the set-up:

Politics, sex, corruption, 

blackmail, lies…and that’s

just the first three pages!

As teenagers, Alison and Derek were lovers–but chose opposite directions which tore them apart.

Now adults, the pursuit of their incompatible dreams turns them into enemies who must deny their love for each other. But the real-world consequences of their actions bring them together in an alliance of mutual self-preservation–and cause them both to question their every belief.

Trust Your Enemies is a novel of ideas that’s packed with action and adventure. It’s a political thriller–but one like no other you’ve ever read.

Alison McGuire is the indispensable “right-hand” to Australia’s next Prime Minister. She’s one step away from achieving the goal of a lifetime . . . when she’s suddenly ensnared in a web of power and intrigue by Frank McKurn, a devious, Machiavellian politician.

In her frantic race for survival, Alison must deliver a knockout blow to demolish McKurn . . . before it’s too late. But how? . . .

To win, they must risk everything

In desperation, Alison turns for help to the key people in her life: An acerbic-tongued newspaper columnist–who ends up in a coma. A secretive computer hacker who discovers incriminating evidence–and then is forced into hiding. A police officer who’s abruptly removed from a crucial investigation. A politician supposedly on her side–who shows his true, spineless colors at the worst possible moment.

With her every resource exhausted, she faces a life-or-death question: Can she trust Derek Olsson–the man she once loved? The man she mistakenly thinks deceived and betrayed her, who she now regards as an enemy?

Meanwhile, Olsson is nowhere to be found. He’s on the run, wanted by the police for a murder he claims he didn’t commit. A drug-dealing Triad king has offered a reward for his head–without the body. And a powerful politician must shut Olsson’s mouth–or risk spending the rest of his life in prison.

A battle of liberty against power

Only by joining forces can Alison and Olsson both survive. The irony is that they don’t yet know it. Alison must first overcome her anger and bury the hatchet–and time is running out.

A shadowy contract hit man is pursuing them both. Known only as “The Assassin,” he has never failed.

But Trust Your Enemies is far more than a page-turning action novel. You’ll be plunged into the seamy underbelly of partisan politics, a world where no one is a friend and–paradoxically–the only people you can really trust may be your enemies. Woven through the novel are challenging and controversial themes, ranging from the psychological motives behind power and corruption to the eternal human desire for freedom and individualism. The key characters learn, dramatically, that when you make the wrong choices, you get the opposite of what you set out to achieve–and they take you on an inspiring journey of moral redemption and personal liberation that will have you cheering when you reach the end.

Here’s the set-up:

Homicide detective Adam Garrett is already a rising star in the Boston police department when he and his cynical partner, Carl Landauer, catch a horrifying case that could make their careers: the ritualistic murder of a wealthy college girl that appears to have Satanic elements.

The partners make a quick arrest when all evidence points to another student, a troubled musician in a Goth band who was either dating or stalking the murdered girl. But Garrett’s case is turned upside down when beautiful, mysterious Tanith Cabarrus, a practicing witch from nearby Salem, walks into the homicide bureau and insists that the real perpetrator is still at large. Tanith claims to have had psychic visions that the killer has ritually sacrificed other teenagers in his attempts to summon a powerful, ancient demon.

All Garrett’s beliefs about the nature of reality will be tested as he is forced to team up with a woman he is fiercely attracted to but cannot trust, in a race to uncover a psychotic killer before he strikes again.

The Brightest Moon of the Century

by Christopher Meeks

4.5 stars – 13 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

In his fourth award-winning book, Christopher Meeks offers a comic and compassionate coming-of-age novel. A young Minnesotan, Edward, is blessed with an abundance of “experience”–first when his mother dies and next when his father, an encyclopedia salesman, shoehorns Edward into a private boys school where he’s tortured and groomed. He needs a place in the universe, but he wants an understanding of women.

Edward stumbles into romance in high school, careens through dorm life in college, whirls into a tornado of love problems as a mini-mart owner in a trailer park in Alabama, and aims for a film career in Los Angeles.

In nine chapters, the reader experiences Edward’s life from ages 14 to 45. This novel follows Meeks’s highly acclaimed collections of short stories, The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea and Months and Seasons.

Carmela Ciuraru wrote in the Los Angeles Times Book Review of Meeks’s first book, “This idea resonates throughout the collection: Meeks’s characters seek happiness in the small things because they have no choice … [The stories] are poignant and wise, sympathetic to the everyday struggles these characters face.”

Author and humorist Sandra Tsing Loh has said, “Christopher Meeks’s quirky stories are lyrical and wonderfully human. Enjoy.”

Teaching the Dog to Think

by Kimberly Davis

4.8 stars – 8 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled

Here’s the set-up:

TEACHING THE DOG TO THINK is Kimberly Davis’ engaging memoir about her crash introduction to the sport of dog agility—with its jumps, tunnels, balance beams and weave poles. An award-winning poet and blogger, Davis vividly describes her frustrations trying to get her dog to “mind.” We then watch as her first steely-eyed agility coach shames her into giving up choke collars and scruff shakes in favor of the “positive” training methods used by agility instructors.

Davis’ breezy, often humorous account shows how these new techniques allow her to communicate with the “alien” mind of a dog. Also how they transform her unruly yearling collie, Willow, into a loyal, hardworking teammate. Davis ultimately carries the lessons she has mastered in dog training class into other areas of her life, particularly into parenting and teaching creative writing.

In the end, this memoir becomes a soul-searching exploration of how to get others to do what we want without bullying or cruelty—by using our heads and forcing ourselves to be a little smarter. A subtly subversive book about dealing responsibly with those less powerful than ourselves, Teaching The Dog To Think speaks not only to dog lovers, but also to anyone who has ever felt helpless, angry, or frustrated as a parent, teacher or pet owner.

Here’s the set-up:

Fanatical extremists, with a brilliant master plan, two big, dirty nukes, and a team of eager suicide bombers, plot a masterstroke of terror. Meanwhile, God is preoccupied in an online forum, chatting with a diverse group of human characters about his long simmering issues with humanity. The world’s best hope for survival is Legion, a cloned product of illegal Germline engineering, and perhaps God’s next prophet, unless he becomes Lucifer’s King of the World instead.

With God’s absence, Heaven is divided by internal dissension as its greatest general, the archangel Michael, and his colleague the archangel Uriel, plan a preemptive strike against Lucifer’s and his demons.

A startlingly credible “what-if” story that is as funny as it is exciting. Meet Lucifer, the slick yet sensitive leader of a bunch of misfit demons, in a hell that is crumbling from neglect, and his divine foes, archangels Michael and Uriel. Meet young Legion, the cloned billionaire industrialist who must choose between God’s authority and the devil’s temptations, including the irresistible Lilith—men go to bed early just so they can have bad dreams of her. And meet God, if that is who he really is, who needs to decide whether or not to just ditch this whole humanity thing and spend his time elsewhere.

Here’s the set-up:

Project Moses is a fast-paced bioterrorism thriller in the Grisham mode with romance, suspense and humor.

Enzo Lee, 37, a burned out reporter, has forsaken investigative reporting on the East Coast to churn out feature fluff in San Francisco. He likes his North Beach apartment, steps away from his Chinatown roots. Running, tai chi, great food, women who are attracted to his exotic looks. Life is good.

Then, Lee’s comfortable life is shaken when he is ordered to cover the unexplained deaths of a local judge and prosecutor. Intrigued by the connection, and the judge’s attractive niece, Sarah Armstrong, Lee begins to uncover a bioterrorism scandal whose perpetrators – including government officials and Silicon Valley titans – will kill to conceal.

When Lee and Sarah become targets, the question becomes whether the pair can evade their hunters and piece together the story before their time runs out. Project Moses is set in San Francisco, New York and Silicon Valley.

Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels wants her dead, at least she still has Logan, or does she?

Alcatraz, an icon of hopelessness and isolation.

A prison where a rich and satisfying life is locked out by 50’ tall barbwire-topped walls, an intricate fail-safe security system, and surrounded by the freezing cold waters of the San Francisco Bay.

The Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of our brokenness.

Everyone is faced with a choice; are you going to serve a life sentence? Or, are you going receive God’s promise of freedom by following Jesus Christ? (Galatians 3:22 )

It’s not easy, but you can…

Swim to win!

All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but you do it for an eternal prize. So, swim with purpose through the water (Heart) with every breath (Soul), navigation (Mind), kick (Strength), and stroke (Loving Others). Discipline your body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.

Keep Pressing toward the Goal to claim the prize which Christ Jesus has already won for you. (Philippians 3:12)

The prize of a rich and satisfying life. (John 10:10)

Immersion: Live out the life God has envisioned for you.

A modern day fantasy, about a girl, a dragon and an elfin prince –

What would you do if you discovered a secret world? A world that common sense told you could never exist.

Christina Casey didn’t know what was happening. When the dreams started they were quick glimpses of a snow-covered forest. Months later they had morphed into something so much more. She was caught in the turmoil of this fantasy world where wars were being threatened and dragons soared. In her dreams, she could smell the fresh pine and feel the wintery breeze in her hair as she became a voyeur into the life of a strange boy. A boy who wore all black and carried a sword. The visions were real, they felt real and when the stench from the dragon hit her senses as he lunged for the boy … reaching through time and space Christina’s scream echoed through the clearing. The boy, distracted, turned to face her … their eyes met and … she woke.

If your fate was to die for strangers, would you try to change it?

What Yoko Knows

Here’s the set-up:

What if Yoko Ono knows more about the murder of her husband than she is telling? Could it be that the doyenne of conceptual art purposely crafted John Lennon’s assassination as the greatest “happening” of them all? When two amateur sleuths set out to uncover the truth about Yoko’s connections to trigger-man Mark David Chapman, the mystery that unfolds stretches across the continents and shatters their hearts.

On the night of Chapman’s conviction for the murder, two art students discover they share a grudge against the woman long accused of destroying the Beatles, and suspecting her of masterminding the plot to kill her husband, they dedicate their lives to avenging him. Peter Foggins quits college and becomes a cop in order to refine the skills he’ll need to get a homicide conviction; however, uncovering the evidence imposes unexpected sacrifices. From Los Angeles, to Manhattan, to Venice, the husband and wife team up to pursue clues and find themselves pursued in turn, until a surprise witness—shows up with his own other-wordly agenda. When confronted with their evidence at last, Yoko Ono proves more than a match, and the investigation concludes in a dramatic cascade of events that are as joyous as they are surprising.

More than just a whodunit, the book offers an amusing romp through the badlands of cultural criticism, pitting its freewheeling scorn against the rape of the muses by careerists and idlers and every brand of slipshod hackwork being passed off as profound, and this with a joyful rage of excoriation that makes no bones about being in bad taste. Readers with a taste for cultural blasphemy are sure to be in stitches, and the tears of laughter they wipe from their eyes will serve also to mark the lamentable fall from grace of the Western artistic tradition.

Exploring Great Basin National Park is a guide to both the national park and the adjacent Mount Moriah Wilderness. Although many visitors stay at the park for just a few hours, the purpose of this book is to encourage you to stay longer and explore the park as well as the surrounding Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. You can camp at one of the four campgrounds in the park, camp on the national forest, or stay at a motel or hotel in nearby Baker or Ely. If you are new to the area you should certainly take the tour of Lehman Caves and a drive up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Road. But these barely scratch the surface of this diverse area. Check out the opportunities for stargazing, bird watching, hiking, fishing, pine nut gathering, bicycling, horseback riding, picnicking, andmore.
