Margaret Donovan-his lover-questions every choice she has made as
her life spins out of control. Struggling to find meaning amidst
chaos, she returns to the faith in which she was raised. A
friendship with a local nun motivates Margaret to hand in her badge
and gun and devote her life to the convent.
Poised to make her final profession and take the veil, Margaret
learns of the murder of two students. Her former boss asks her to
help him to solve the killings. Margaret soon links the recent

child is on the killer's hit list, and she finds the detective with
whom she's working, Bill Templeton, falling in love with her.

Margaret desperately attempts to solve the murders and reconcile
her spiritual and secular lives. Only God knows where it will all
end, but Margaret's faith-and ultimately her love-will lead her to
the truth.
Public schools and colleges typically give you a "progressive"
slant on life. This book provides another view. Even for those who
had the advantage of a father, it was often a father in name only.
In fact, most have not had a "traditional" daddy in the pre-21st
Century sense. Or perhaps better yet, a WWII or pre-Woodstock era
role model.
Riverfront Dreams, Ken and Rayna Piccard retire to central Florida
to live out their lives in a luxurious housing development-'God's
waiting room.' The dream becomes a nightmare of alligators, pirate
treasure, shoddy workmanship, their homeowners' association and The
Gasparilla.
"Grave Creek Conspiracy" is the sequel to Morris' first book "Grave
Creek Connections," a mystery set in the tri-county region of
Greene/Washington County, in Pennsylvania, and in Marshall County,
West Virginia. The story ties up some loose ends of a police
investigation of the disappearance of college co-eds whose bodies
are found in the nearby game hunting lands. But it leaves the
reader with enough mystery to stir his/her imagination and perhaps,
a Grave Creek franchise.
Two killers meet on a bus and travel to a strange retirement
community in the middle of nowhere. Gibtown is a place where
various people have gone to retire... and disappear. Gibtown is
populated with with ex-carneys, mafia dons, world leaders,
politicians an spies... or so it seems. But then, nothing is as it
seems in West Virginia. From the book: Swaypole, a perfect metaphor
for you. When you were on top, you were way up, manic as hell,
swaying back and forth from delusion to delusion. When you got
down, there you were trying to figure some way to put yourself out
of your misery.

When a sheriff's deputy is brutally murdered, fellow deputy
Margaret Donovan-his lover-now finds herself questioning every
choice she has made as her life spins out of control. Margaret, the
daughter of a well-respected Sheriff, struggles to find meaning in
life and falls back on the faith she was raised in. A friendship
develops between her and a nun from the local convent that
reawakens that faith. In time, she hands in her badge and gun and
takes the veil. When she is about to make her final profession, two
students at Saint Dominic's High School are murdered. Her old boss
the Sheriff asks her to work with him to solve the killings.
Margaret soon discovers a link between the two recent killings and
the murder of another Saint Dominic's student that has gone
unsolved for more than thirty years. She also learns that there may
have been an effort to cover up that old killing to protect some
very influential people. She suspects that someone has returned to
even the score. But who? As she works to find a killer before he
strikes again, she also struggles with herself as her decision
about a final profession to the religious life draws near. There
are two big problems. There is another child out there who is on
the killer's hit list, but they don't know who he or she is. And
the detective Margaret is working with, Bill Templeton, is falling
in love with her. Margaret soon realizes that she is beginning to
fall in love with him. This fast-paced novel has little in common
with other so-called clerical mysteries because the protagonist,
Sister Margaret, is a complex woman who makes bad choices more
often then she would like. Her desperate attempt to solve the
murders of two of her students is as much a spiritual journey as it
is a mystery. Only God knows where it will all end, and it is
Margaret's faith and ultimately her love that will allow her to
make it through.
The ninth circle of Dante's hell is where we find those who have
betrayed a special relationship-such as the one between priest and
child. It is this spiritual pit we encounter "Along the River
Road." Sister Margaret Donovan, a former sheriff's deputy, has
turned in her gun and badge to take the veil. She works as parish
administrator for a small congregation in rural southern Illinois.
The idyllic assignment turns dark when an elderly priest is
assigned to say mass on Sundays. Some in the church recognize him.
A suicide in the parish alerts Margaret that there is something
awry, but she gets no help from her diocese: they claim not to know
a thing. Margaret's cop instincts kick into high gear, and she soon
encounters dark secrets buried in the past, a bureaucracy that
doesn't cough up secrets easily, and a link to a hideous
murder-suicide that occurred forty years earlier. Sister Margaret
isn't like any nun you have ever know. She is a flawed individual
who struggles to maintain her vocation in a world where faith has
gone by the wayside. Her struggle with criminality mirrors her own
struggle with sin and redemption.
1906 was a different time and cooking wasn't nearly as simple.
Prepared food and even cooking and baking products were made at
home. This book allows readers to return to that (simpler?) time
when cooking began with building a fire in the stove.
