    Life in small southern towns is not always as pleasant as it seems.In this third book of the Florida Sheriff Deputies Murder Mystery Series, Tony Giovanni returns from The Wages of Sin to partner with Dagan Murphy of The Secrets We Keep. The old college roommates are working together on some leads that seem to have ties to their most recent cases. Donald Lockhart, the preacher from The Wages of Sin, has some family connections in the panhandle of Florida and they seem to tie into a case that Dagan just finished working on that involved his own family, not to mention some older cold cases that have gone unsolved for years. The Oakville's Children's Asylum once again seems to rear its ugly head to bring misery years after it was closed down for mistreatment of the patients housed there. Now being remodeled to become a fancy resort, all construction gets put on hold for yet another set of remains that have been found by the construction crew. Dagan and Tony delve deeper into the old records and the families connected to it, and soon will learn that blood is not always thicker than water. Sometimes that blood is so tainted, that some families will abandon those who they think will ruin their names and reputations. What is the evidence that binds all three cases together, and how will it affect those who have suffered the most?

    "There is an urgent need for more bisexual men to rise up and be heard. Thank you for contributing your voice to this still small but growing chorus."- Robyn Ochs, co-author, Recognize: the Voices of Bisexual Men Matteson's I Took Both Roads: My Journey as a Bisexual Husband is both eye-opening and inspiring. It is a timely, sensitive exploration of a topic through a loving and accepting lens. He first became aware of his sexuality in the early 1950s, and his bisexuality in the '60s -- dangerous times to be seen as different from the norm. It is as much an account of his incredible and supportive relationships with others - his parents, his spiritual advisors, his long-time gay partner, and particularly his wife - as it is an account of what it is like to be bisexual. Matteson skillfully brings the reader on a journey through his life. He introduces the memoir by acknowledging his "hope...that reading [his] story will help you to develop a deeper understanding of, and empathy for those whose sexual orientation is different from your own, and those who have gone through changes in their identity during the course of their married life." Robert Frost's famous poem about life's choices, "The Road Not Taken," is a recurrent motif in Matteson's book, and readers will come to understand that they, unlike Frost's speaker, need not recall their choices "with a sigh" of regret, but can instead proudly take both roads, though they seem to be divergent.

    "When I read works by David Porteous in 7 Voices, a collection of short stories from the North Fork Writers Group, I wanted more. Now I have them in this new collection. Thanks for inviting us into your mind, Dave. Fascinating tales."- Hollis George, editor and anthologistA member of the North Fork Writers Group, David Porteous breaks out with a remarkable collection of short stories. As he says, "The stories are not autobiographical, but while the characters reveal facets of my views, they came to me with personalities and situations formed. They are mind-invaders because their presences prevented me from working on other projects; they refused to leave until I wrote their tales. I chose tales whose characters came in diverse styles of tale-telling, with cultural differences, and some echoing other stories to expand those themes for you. I haven't defined their settings - New York, Sydney, Shanghai or Oslo is irrelevant to people dealing with life's universal issues."
