Johnny Donal, P.I., a retired cop, now with a successful investigations agency, should be enjoying life in the SC Lowcountry. He isn't. That he has a stellar reputation as an investigator; that he has a source of independent wealth; that he can pick and choose cases should, if anything, add to his good life. None of it does. Instead, Donal is a troubled man. His lover has left him and, worse, he's batting zero with his attempts to get her back. He also has a new client with a strange attitude about the circumstances surrounding her missing husband and Donal isn't sure that he can trust the woman. Then a friend is murdered and that case intertwines with Donal's missing husband case. Despite a double dealing client, negative involvement with influential locals, and political obstacles cluttering his investigation, the question becomes can the P.I., who has problems of his own to resolve, uncover the identity of the killer or killers and solve the crimes?

We Southern guys love the ladies and we love to eat and to watch the world go by. Sometimes we love the Southern climate, sometimes that climate scares hell out of us. And there's the flora and fauna of the South, so no, we can't forget the blooms and critters and there are a few of 'em scattered in the poems in this little book In all 34 poems reflect what I, and I believe other Southerners, love and are good for us fill these few pages. The poems are my stuff, written by a guy and sometimes a naughty word creeps in. All of the poems have a Southern flavor. I'm truly hoping not only the guys but the ladies will like my stuff. The ladies may skip the naughty words. Or, they may enjoy them. Some of these poems were previously published and a few were also reprinted in Quiction where I was a weekly contributor. Poem titles and the publications where my work were originally found are as follows. Hummingbird, Cardinal, Snowy Egret, Circles and Cycles, A Benign Blue Sky, Lowcountry Threads, Fishin' In The Gulf Stream, and Southern Boy were first published in Dead Mule School of Southern Literature. Outside My Door, Another Skin and A Seafood Boil were in Southern Hum. Separation and Reunion and Stuff Makes Me Cold, Me and Myself Again, and A Frogmore Stew were in Gator Springs Gazette. Bogalusa Blues, On the Corner of Religion and Jazz, Wanderlust, and Cajun Solution were first published inQuiction. Vile Beauties was in Cellar Door. Louisiana first appeared in Flush Fiction Magazine. The remaining poems are published here for the first time."

In this fictionalized memoir, G. C. Smith "pulls back the covers" on what goes on in offices and businesses she has known. In amusing, incisive prose, she describes the various types that she has come across during her working life. She has a satiric and knowing eye when it comes to human nature. At the same time, she delves deeper and sees the humanity and motives that cause people to act the way they do. With a mixture of shock and delight, you will no doubt recognize similarities to people you yourself have encountered.-- Anthony Ambrogio, Editor

WHITE LIGHTNING is a story of a top notch stock car race-team trying to grab the big prize in stock car racing that will, in turn, make their Southern regional corporation, WHITE LIGHTNING INDUSTRIES (car parts and care products and service stores), a national corporate player. Bad guys try to take over the corporation. Their skullduggery ends up with multiple murder. The book bounces from the South Carolina Lowcountry to the NASCAR race circuit to the Bahamas and back to the race circuit. It's got intrigue. It's got suspense. It's got flirty girls. And it's got redemption. It is, I think, a fun read.
