Here's the set-up:
Just days before his execution, Calvery Thomas has reason to believe in thin places. He looks at the world through the eyes of someone who has already passed on. When he promises Finn Tully a reward to find his daughter and prove his innocence to her, Calvery knows the request is unreasonable. He also knows Finn needs his help, and Calvery's daughter needs the money. Finn is clean, sober, on the downside of a prison term and not about to get swallowed up in Calvery's problems until a series of unexplainable events propel Finn into the middle of the mysteries surrounding Calvery's execution. When Finn finds the daughter, Chloe, in Clam Harbor, Washington, he soon realizes she is in danger. Chloe is a tough, no-nonsense charter boat captain involved in a smuggling operation with the very man who framed her father. Finn and Chloe join forces to find the truth behind Calvery's execution and, in the process, discover the power of a father's love and the miracles of the world beyond this one.
One Reviewer Notes:
Thin Places is an intriguing story with lovely descriptive language. The main characters grapple with some of life's biggest challenges, and the reader soon becomes "hooked"
on learning how the plot will resolve. Hope to read more from this author!

Innovation is rapidly becoming democratized. Users, aided by improvements in computer and communications technology, increasingly can develop their own new products and services. These innovating users—both individuals and firms—often freely share their innovations with others, creating user-innovation communities and a rich intellectual commons. In Democratizing Innovation, Eric von Hippel looks closely at this emerging system of user-centered innovation. He explains why and when users find it profitable to develop new products and services for themselves, and why it often pays users to reveal their innovations freely for the use of all.

Here's the set-up:
Redesigning Emma transports us to the turn of the last century, when Five Points gang leader Paul Kelly held sway with the criminal element, Emily Post hosted the absurdly wealthy, and the mentally ill were shuttled into archaic asylums. This novel brings an entire era to life. Most vividly it show us the world of one visionary milliner on Manhattan’s Ladies’ Mile—a spunky, generous-hearted young woman who is torn between her desire for success, her involvement with the 1899 newsboys’ strike and two very intriguing men.
One Reviewer Notes:
Once I started reading "Redesigning Emma" I couldn't stop until I reached the end! Prettyman's attention to period details paints a vivid picture of life in New York City at the turn of the 20th Century. Loved it, and loved the story. Emma is a great character--determined, and a woman ahead of her time. I highly recommend this book.

One Reviewer Notes:
Diane Owens' first novel, THIN PLACES, combined romance and adventure with spirituality. REDESIGNING EMMA is also a triple threat. Instead of spirituality, however, the third element here is historical context. She sets the story in one of America's most dynamic and exciting eras and gives some of that period's most colorful characters cameo appearances. If you liked THIN PLACES, then REDESIGNING EMMA is a must-read. If you have not yet experienced Owens' story-telling magic, give yourself a treat.
