Charlie-Not-Afraid-of-His-Horse, Lee Mick''s first published novel
received wide acclaim for his memorable characters of Charlie, Beth
and Walk-Behind as well as for his historical accuracy. His uncanny
ability to create living characters from fiction continues in
"Below the Horizon." It is the moving tale of a small town in the
dustbowl years; but mostly it is the story of three brothers-in-law
and how they help each other survive. Ed Kaufman, the oldest
brother-in-law, as well as the sheriff, is basically an honest man,
but understands that hard times call for ingenuity. Dietz Titus, a
brother-in-law and master-maker of whiskey is a self-taught
philosopher and farmer who believes his wife, Katie, and children
are worth the risk of bootlegging. Frank Hagen, the youngest
brother-in-law, is on the brink of losing his farm due to drought.
His wife, Tracy, is unable to conquer fears from her staunch
Catholic upbringing, but with Katie''s help she backs Frank in his
bootlegging endeavors. From out of the dust comes a man of the
times...Willie Loop. He hitches a ride with Frank at the communal
water well and soon becomes a part of the team. This dynamic tale
of survival gives kudos to the outlaws, who in this story are the
good guys.
At this high school, instead of jocks and nerds, the students are

Gosha by tormenting his grandson, gray wolf Legoshi. In college,

carnivore. Is dating outside your species just trendy? Then, when
Haru finally meets up with Legoshi again, she insists he take her
to a disturbing location for their date. Meanwhile, Yahya's mouse
spies are everywhere, and their motives aren't always pure...
Having learned from the failure of his first assault on Chung Kuo,
the real DeVore has returned to Mars to plan his next move against
the Seven, and to fine-tune a new range of morphs - subtler and
more deadly than the last. But among the nineteen cities of the
Martian Plains, unrest has reached fever pitch, requiring the
smallest of incidents to trigger violent revolution. Yet when it
comes, it is from a wholly unexpected direction. Hans Ebert - much
changed since his great fall from power - finds himself in DeVore's
employ as a humble sweeper. Pushed beyond his limits, he kills a
man, placing himself once more in DeVore's power, and as the Major
sets in motion a plan to destroy Marshal Tolonen by kidnapping his
daughter, Jelka, so Ebert's part becomes clear with an announcement
that he and Jelka are to marry. As the cities of Mars have fallen,
so might those of Chung Kuo - with even its most powerful, City
North America, suddenly vulnerable. But the greater threat to the
Seven lies within their own ranks. Even as Li Yuan and his fellow
T'ang make plans to stabilize Chung Kuo, so the First Dragon and
Head of the Ministry seeks to take charge ... for the sake of the
Empire of the Han.

A demolished man. A heartbroken woman. And the intense love that
will rebuild them both. The highly anticipated and epic conclusion
to the Chasing Red duology. "Red," Caleb whispered. "Do you know
how I felt when you left me?" I looked into his eyes. The emotion I
saw in them, the intensity, and the tenderness filled up my throat.
"I felt ruined. Because, Red, every time you break me apart, you
put me back together. And I always come out better than before."
"So," he cupped my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "Ruin
me." Praise for Wattpad sensation Isabelle Ronin's Chasing Red:
"Chasing Red is a perfectly sweet romance, with just the right
amount of spice."-Foreword Reviews "Readers will be chomping at the
bit while waiting for the next installment!"-RT Book Reviews
"Readers will swoon over Caleb."-Publishers Weekly

Kelly Keane searches for a reason for the way her life ended when
she enters her last reincarnation.
"The Day Coffeyville Bled" begins at the end of the Dalton/Johnson
Gang as they are shot to pieces and lie dying in gutters, alleys,
and empty fields after spending thirteen minutes longer on this
earth than necessary. From the morning of Wednesday, October 5,
1892, through to as late as the year 2001, immediate family members
of this gang survived and buried their secrets, but not as well as
they would have hoped. Five marriages, three murders, two
illegitimate children, real estate companies, motion pictures, and
newspaper, magazine, and book publications all became part of what
legends are made of as the Dalton/Johnson outlaw gang rode out of
the nineteenth century straight into the twentieth century, while
two of their number escape apprehension.

still dreaming of her forthcoming marriage to fiancé Ian – while
Audrey jumps at the career opportunities the Women's Auxiliary Air
Force (WAAF) throws her way. Audrey joins the ranks at RAF
Cardington but soon finds that her new freedom also brings
temptation. When she goes too far, the consequences ripple through
the Whitehouse family. Meanwhile, Sylvia is doing her bit as a
railway porter, much to her fiancé’s dismay. He thinks the job
is unfeminine - unlike Sylvia's new friend Kitty, who is as sweet
and pretty as can be. But Kitty's innocent nature hides a dark
secret . . . A heartbreaking yet inspiring wartime set novel,
perfect for fans of Katie Flynn.
