Cocaine Jungle     by F.W. Brown

Will Bentley was a twice-elected Governor of the state of Kansas and one term President of the United States.  Six months ago, Bentley and his politically-oriented wife vacated the White House after an unsuccessful bid for a second term. Two hours ago, the New York Times hit the street with bold headlines: EX-PRESIDENT ASSASSINATED. A sniper's bullet had reduced Will Bentley to a crumpled blood-drenched heap at the entrance of the plush Pork Barrel Restaurant in lower Manhattan.  As Governor, it was rumored that Will Bentley had done business with shadowy people in South America. It had involved providing secret cover for cocaine shipments flown from Colombia to Donaldson Air Field near Topeka. The alleged cocaine operation was never investigated. After Bentley won the Presidential campaign, those rumors went away. If he had been involved in any illegal cocaine deals, apparently he’d gotten away with it….or had he?

I Promised You Daisies                                Book 2 in the series Imperfectly Ordinary                                       by Robert A. Benjamin

For all of us who came of age during the time of Woodstock, hippies and Vietnam, our paths into adult life were more perilous than they might have been a few innocent years earlier. In 1966, although I had never heard a gun fired in anger, I was among the walking wounded of those days of political, intellectual and moral conflict. I was a fresh-faced, eager high school graduate about to embark on my journey of college, choosing a profession, and marrying my steady girl. No matter their sincerity, all of those dreams were broken and shattered. I faced difficult choices. I bore guilt I never imagined. I realized I had never learned how to give up. I Promised You Daisies is the second volume of my trilogy Imperfectly Ordinary. As a sequel to A Gift of Dreams, this is the story of my attempt to make sense of life during the disrupted decade that followed my boyhood in a contented traditional New England village. I recount meeting studious, serious-minded Karen Sandstrom, our discovery that we shared just about every opinion in life that mattered, and our student marriage. We were convinced our mutual support would enable us to accomplish more good things in the world than we might have managed on our own. But would that be enough to sustain our growing love?

Edward’s satisfaction is short-lived when he is confronted by a ghost from his past – his seminary rival and now Dark adept Aldric Smithson.  Aldric harbors old resentments and will stop at nothing to attain his ambition:  the destruction of Myrridia’s Church and Edward Fitzroy, whose Magic may not prove powerful enough to stop Aldric.

 

With power comes responsibility.

Ellis House    by Maria Channell

 

Jolted awake from a recurring nightmare, clinical psychologist, Grace Morgan rushes to Ellis House to de-escalate Emily Rowan, a suicidal client who was admitted to the facility several hours earlier.  Grace quickly learns that managing unstable clients are the least of her worries at Ellis House, the group home for emotionally disturbed children where she recently accepted employment.  Recent budget cuts and long hours exacerbate the conflict between the residential staff and the mental health professionals.  Although she acknowledges the frustration among the staff, she does not understand the overt hostility directed towards her from a newly hired therapist who constantly defies her authority.  Barbara Levy, the residential director of the group home, is also adversarial, intent on seeing Grace and the clinical program fail.  But why, and what is her real agenda?  Despite Barbara’s bullying, Grace finds unlikely support for her in Corrine Duschene, a residential shift supervisor.  Suspiciously, Corrine disappears the night she discloses to Grace a longstanding pattern of corrupt practices at the group home.  The police investigation changes from missing persons to homicide when Corrine’s frozen remains are found several months later.

O.Y.L. by Scott Heydt

A tall-majestic apple tree manages to grow in Jenna Durstine’s apartment complex, where even blades of grass are at a premium.  Nearby in third-period English at Grayson High, where Jenna is a freshman, her infatuation grows for someone who her mother has warned can only lead her to heartbreak. 

Jenna’s journey to present day has not been easy.  Born to teen parents.  Along with her mother, a victim of a neglecting and abusive father.  Forced to be her own caretaker at a pivotal time in her life. 

Back to relative normalcy and stronger for the experience, the time is ripe for Jenna to focus on herself—and on coming clean about her feelings, despite her mother’s warnings, to the object of her affection.  A once ordinary, overlooked tree now becomes a symbol for Jenna’s desires.  Even in her dreams, the perfect apple lingers just beyond her fingertips as she searches for a way to say, “I love you." 

But when an intruder invades campus, putting Jenna’s newfound love in the center, Jenna must face her haunting past, must forgive her mother for the unforgivable, and must ultimately decide if love that is out of her league is worth the climb.

Perhaps You Do Not Know Who I Am                                                  by Rebecca Kopp DiPiazza

Through a veil of tears, I said to a physician, “Perhaps you do not know who I am.” Thus, the title of this book was born. Within a twenty-four hour period from the onset of abdominal pain, urgency, and frequency to urinate, I became physically incapacitated.

I share my journey from the onset of the symptoms as I search for a medical diagnosis. The search took ten months, and visits with eight doctors to arrive at several diagnoses. The diagnoses are Interstitial Cystitis, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Bulging Disc, and Depression.

Each day I lived in fear and apprehension. My illness was invisible, my symptoms were invisible, and I felt invisible. My pain and deterioration were not validated. I was challenged mentally as I began to doubt myself. Deep inside, I knew that there must be a great gift in this challenge. I have always believed that within every adversity there is indeed a spiritual gift. Indeed, I found more than one gift.

It is my hope that sharing my story will give hope and inspiration to others who are facing a drastic life style change or illness. I believe my story would be helpful to medical and mental professionals as well.

The Dictator's Astrologer                                                                                             by Roberleigh H. Claigh

 

Hitler pressed a button, the elevator doors slid open and they ascended a 6,000 foot shaft through the heart of the mountain to Eagle’s Nest, his secret observatory. Astrological symbols were painted on the walls, and the Zodiac was rendered on a high ceiling of deep blue glass. “I call this room the Chamber of Stars,” he said to Afra.

“But why am I here?” she asked.

“Reichfuhrer Himmler has acquainted me with your astrological expertise,” he explained. “And I would like to know if you foresee anything significant in my future.”

The Dictator’s Astrologer, a historical novel, is based on the life of Afra Waesch, a real astrologer in Nazi Germany. Though the dark forces, personified by Hitler, destroy Germany, a still higher power protects Afra from the treachery of the Hitler regime. Surviving several attempts on her life, Afra develops into a master spiritual astrologer with psychic abilities of clairvoyance and astral travel. But would she have the strength to tell the Fuhrer what she read in his stars?

In 1959 Carolyn Clark and her pony Dixie rode into the pages of football history as the first female mascot in professional football.  Carolyn was  an accomplished horsewoman by the age of ten and daughter of the legendary jockey Willie Clark. She dreamed of starting a riding academy for handicapped children.  Her fame as a Baltimore Colt created a touching story of faith, family, friendship and football.  This is her story – a look at life in the 1950’s, professional football, horses, and rock and roll as seen through the eyes of a young cowgirl.  

 “The Baltimore Colts were a complete team...that was not just the players but the fans.  What would that team have been without Carolyn and Dixie?  They were special part of that team, the magical and fragile bond between players and fans."   Raymond Berry, Baltimore Colts 1955-1967, 1958 and 1959 World Championship teams, Pro Football Hall of Fame 1973

The Separatist   by Gordon Snider (Author of Sigourney's Quest)

Meet journalist Julia Rice, who is sought out by a mysterious Mr. Anderson with the promise of giving her a very interesting story that would definitely help her career.  Julia follows her curiosity and meets with Mr. Anderson.  At first she is taken back by his ways but something makes her continue to meet with him as he begins to reveal a story that goes back into time and one that seems to have some connections with one she is working on in present day. A connection perhaps with her own life and a story that will definitely bring her to the brink of extreme danger, yet give her the story of a lifetime.   Mr. Anderson was at one time a Separatist, hired for a case that would change his life forever. The Separatist is based on a Japanese custom where people hire such a specialist to end relationships.  This might involve a spouse, a lover, a business partner, or any other kind of personal relationship.  The idea is to create a situation that is so embarrassing to the “mark” that he or she will agree to severe the relationship without public displays of discord, publicity, or court proceedings This is the story he must reveal to our Julia that will in turn change her life. Just who is this mystery man, Mr. Anderson, and why has he chosen Julia to confide the details of the evil he knows and the people involved?  Will Julia come out of this alive or has Mr. Anderson put them in a situation that will end both of their lives?

A Gift of Dreams is a classic American coming-of-age tale cast well outside the ordinary mold, a memoir with roots deep in youthful experience.

Today, thoughtful readers everywhere are looking for optimistic, engaging storytelling that endorses positive values, and they will find it here.

Shadow in the Rain                                                                             by  Harriett Ford

A cub reporter becomes convinced that an innocent man has been convicted of murder. While she tries to untangle the truth of the crime and free him from prison, she is stalked by a killer and challenged to free herself from her own prison of grief and love again. Based on an actual crime in Rockford, Illinois, the book includes an addendum by nationally known forensics scientist, Arthur Chancellor, who states, "There is not enough evidence--motive, weapon, or witness accounts--to convict Ted Kuhl."  This is a "must read" for those who hope to see changes in the criminal justice system, those who are hoping to see a new trial for Ted Kuhl, imprisoned since 1997, and for any person who finds himself wrongfully accused of a crime.
