All Abigail Martin ever wanted was to be normal, but there wasn't a prayer in hell that was ever going to happen. The skeletons in her closet were stacked so high, it looked like a grave yard. Her mother, Annette, was as loony as the Mad Hatter. Aunt Lil, whom Abby adored, was harboring family secrets. And Abby was stricken with nightmares that threatened to make her as mad as her mother. After a long, hard road, Abby finally started to get her life straightened out when her mother became ill. Annette summoned Abby to her bedside to make amends for the rift in their lives. The accusations Annette made about her sister, Lil, enraged Abby, but also stirred her curiosity for the family history. When Abby returned to the home she shared with Lil, she pursued her curiosity and put Lil on the spot to spill the family secrets. The stories Lil recounted kept Abby on the edge of her seat, and when she finished, Abby saw Lil in a different light. Even if she did commit a murder and dispose of the body so no one would know, she was her hero. And then, as though fate stepped in, Lil was gruesomely murdered in a robbery gone awry while Abby was living abroad. The news struck her hard; Abby felt as though she'd lost everything she cared for. Lil had often spoke about ones need for revenge. Although Abby found it peculiar when Lil spoke of that need, that need became quite clear upon Lil's death. Feeling as though she had nothing left to lose, Abby decides it's high time to seek that revenge on the very people who caused those nightmares that nearly drove her mad. With the help of PI Kenneth Brown, she finds the men that took something precious from her a long time ago, and she takes something equally precious from them, one by one until there is none.

Rafer Cartwright, the youngest of four siblings raised in a working class neighborhood on the outskirts of Kingston, Jamaica, had suffered through years of academic boredom at his local schools. Then along came Usain Alt, a history educator renowned for his ability to motivate his students with innovative lessons, thought provoking discussions, and revolutionary role playing techniques. The mentor instilled in his pupils, through a discourse of their slave descendants and lessons on the civil rights movement in the United States, a fervent sense of pride for their roots, their culture, and their blackness. With Rafe having graduated from high school as a respected leader in community affairs, his sights were set on college placement. Yet because of the economic recession on his island during the 1970's, the enterprising man like many of his cronies opted for better employment opportunities available in North America. But there were other "players" in this foreign milieu who would make his transition difficult. Black urban street thugs and menacing Mafia associates would make his life a living hell. Ironically, two white entities, one human and the other canine, would provide both love and heartbreak for the proud Jamaican. Unbeknownst to all, Rafe possessed an inner "power" which had actually originated during the ancient tribal eras of southern Africa. But would this special ability provide relief from his tormentors, or would it subsequently cause his demise?

He's 27" Tall and More Intelligent than any Human ... They have a culture thousands of years old and the gift of scientific knowledge far beyond that of modern man. The Woodland Elves live in seclusion in a cleverly hidden, closely guarded, secret location in the Great Redwood Forest of Northern California. They are a benevolent, peace-loving race and have a reverence and respect for all living things. Throughout their history they have perceived humans to be a threat to their race and the planet itself. Two thousand years ago and still, today, the Elders believed humans to be a warring race, consumed with the pursuit of wealth and power. They are certain that, if discovered, and their advanced knowledge stolen by humans, the result would be the total decimation of all living things. Armed with their knowledge and superior intelligence they could declare war on humans and bring us to our knees, but that is not their way. They chose to deal with the human threat with enlightenment rather than violence. When a male elf reaches his 16th birthday he is given a great banquet and then, at midnight, he is presented to the Circle of Elders for the Empowerment Ceremony. The young elf is given tools and gifts of great knowledge to assist and protect him on his quest into the world of humans. He is tasked to (as anonymously as possible) teach us by example the true value of tolerance, loyalty, trust and love. Nelkie embarks to be drawn into a seemingly impossible situation involving a kidnapping, a murder, a crime against nature, a love triangle and an extremely wealthy, evil villain. "A festive romp.... A delightful, surprising look at what happens when two worlds collide. "An American Elf" should grace every fantasy lover's shelf." - Kristi Peterson Schoonover, author of "Bad Apple" and Pushcart Prize nominee

Be Careful What You Wish For ... This is a true account written as fiction. The names, places, and times are not actual, some of the dialogue is imagined, however, the events are true. It is the story of a woman who, as a girl, wished she could marry a minister, got her wish, and in early mid-life questions the wisdom of that wish. Be Careful What You Wish For covers several years of living in furnished parsonages, raising three sons, and sharing life in the pastorate with her husband while battling her own demons. Spiced with humor, it is at once a "behind the scenes" peek at the working of a mainline church and a character study of one "misplaced" pastor's wife.

The world has been at war for 5 years and it looks like the Nazis are winning. The defeat of the German Army is the single most important task facing what's left of the free world. Schwerpunkt, the German word for critical striking point, tells the story of the D-Day Invasion and the battles leading to the final destruction of Hitler's Third Reich. Frank Greathouse, his infantryman brother Harold, and his paratrooper cousin Paul, write from the Allied perspective about the battles fought throughout France until the breach of Germany's impregnable Siegfried Line and the end of the war. Rudi Katzenmeier works for Field Marshal Erwin Rommel until General Rommel is eventually implicated in the plot to assassinate Hitler and is forced to commit suicide. Transferred to the German Infantry as a "Landser," Rudi writes of these same battles from the German perspective. This work of historical fiction provides an engaging and historically accurate portrayal of the last year of World War II. Little known but true stories of famous generals, both Allied and German, are brought to life in this must read book about the final year of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich.
