*Treasure of the High Sierra: Dead Men's Gold (Volume 3 in the
Florea/Holland Mystery Series)... Old Spanish gold-and pirate's
treasure's...things like this usually arouse our interest-and for
sure stir our imaginations. Mr. Taylor's 'Treasure of the High
Sierra' is no disappointment in this regard. In this 3rd mystery of
the series, tracker/cartographer Mitch Holland and treasure hunter
Rod Florea find themselves on Mt. Whitney (California), highest
mountain in the contiguous USA. It is there that they come to the
aid of two teenagers who are looking for hidden Spanish Gold. An
old map purchased at a yard sale turns out to be quite authentic,
and the 16th century pirate tale that gives the map that
authenticity is indeed a bone-chilling account. Kidnapping, murder,
and a macabre pirate curse are only a few of the things that
Holland and Florea must deal with as they take on this challenge
atop the high mountain. Elite members of the Forest Service are
also involved, along with the families of the two teenagers (Billy
Brandt and Riley Taylor). Then there are the troubled spirits of
pirates long dead... Are you ready? The great thing about this
particular author is that all you have to do is turn the pages, yet
you will find yourself right there in the middle of it all-living

October 2012 Edition: Do you believe in angels? In 1873 the town of
Lone Pine, California came to believe in them. Lone Pine is the
home of Mt. Whitney, highest mountain in the contiguous United
States, towering some 14, 497 feet. The white granite range of the
High Sierra has been around for several thousand years, its
towering spires unique in North America. However, the first
recorded climb to this peak was not until August 18th, 1873, when
three local fishermen braved the lofty crags and reached its
elusive summit. Prior to that, there had been many attempts, but
recorded history tells us those climbers who made the attempts
never ended up on the right peak Some of them did not return, and
were never heard from again. Hundreds of peaks point skyward in
this range of mountains, and though Mt. Whitney is the highest, it
remained the most elusive for decades. But Indian legends tell of
evil spirits that once made their abode atop this very mountain.
From this great height it was believed that these dark forces
planned their wicked strategies against our entire country. It was
their mountain The Indian legends also foretold of a time when the
evil would be no more; a time when men and women would freely hike
the mountain and experience the wonder and exhilaration it could
produce within one's spirit. According to those legends, and
according to an old diary found in the hills just west of Lone
Pine, that time did arrive. It was in August of 1873, when the most
powerful leader of the angelic host paid an unannounced visit to
the town. After his Three Days in Lone Pine, the mountain, the
birds and the animals...even the people, would never be the same...
* The Secret of Monument Valley (Volume 2 in the Florea/Holland
Mystery Series)... According to the so-called experts, in about
1450 AD, an exceedingly prosperous generation of Native Americans,
known then as the Anasazi, vanished from their strongholds in the
American Southwest--disappeared without so much as a trace.
However, the Native Americans of the present day Navajo Nation
dispute the theoretical findings of modern day archeologists and
anthropologists. In fact, the Navajos claim that a sovereign
remnant of the Anasazi currently dwells among them It's time to tag
along once again with treasure hunter, Rod Florea, and trail
expert, Mitch Holland (Prequel: The Sun, The Glass, and the Leaning
Rock), as they make a predestined journey into the desert
southwest, most eager to solve this enduring mystery once and for
all. Based on actual accounts from Native American residents of the
Navajo Nation, award-winning author Mark Stephen Taylor thrusts his
characters into the heart of this most interesting controversy.
What they must endure is indeed most shocking. What they will find
is most profoundly enlightening Florea and Holland, accompanied by
White Eagle, who claims to be the last surviving elder of the
Anasazi, challenge the prevailing philosophies, following a five
hundred year old trail from Chaco Canyon across the rugged, desert
southwest into Monument Valley. It is along this trail and among
the towering sentinels of the Navajo Tribal Park that the secret of
Monument Valley and the trail of the Anasazi are revealed to the
world. Are you ready to hike along? Watch out for the opposing
forces, which stem from the very halls of government, and will
resort even to kidnapping and murder to thwart the purpose of this
monumental journey
*A Second Chance (Also published as 'The Sun, The Glass, and the
Leaning Rock'), Volume 1 in the Florea/Holland Mystery Series... A
SECOND CHANCE (original edition) is a thrilling story of high
adventure, of friendships, of romance, of loyalties and betrayals,
and of great personal danger in the lives of ordinary people. This
tale combines a tricolor of excitement, yielding the grand
adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the enchantment and humor
of 'Romancing the Stone', and the suspenseful who-done-it of
Sherlock Holmes--hang on tight The story opens in the year 1984,
but centers on the 1924 discovery of the 'Lost Dutchman's Mine' in
Arizona, the inevitable misfortune of it's discoverer, and the
strange fate of the loot itself. A treasure map, an unusual
necklace, and a simple nursery rhyme set the stage for double
murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and unrelenting drama in this tale of
the high desert. An unemployed ex-cop and his two friends become
entwined in this adventure-mystery, which takes the reader from
Boston to Arizona, from Ohio to California, and finally into the
harsh, Nevada desert, where the good guys meet the bad guys in a
final, head-on confrontation. Both want to unlock the treasure's
secret--'the sun, the glass, and the leaning rock, tell you when
it's four o' clock'. If you're ready to jump out of an airplane on
a foggy night, hopefully land unscathed in rugged terrain, repel
from a high cliff on a short rope, take an eerie night stroll
across miles of barren desert, find your way through an unyielding
sandstorm, escape a deadly confrontation with rattlesnakes, pass
through the turbulent waters of a flash flood, leap from a
high-rolling flatcar on a train ride to terror, and in the meantime
solve all the 'who-done-it' before the astonishing climax--then you
are more than welcome to the millions in gold that lay hidden
within a dark, abandoned void, somewhere near Ely, Nevada.
Hiking Life's Difficult Trails is a spiritual journey--an arduous
challenge. This particular journey is better suited to folk's who
have learned to live with remorse--earned through a broad diversity
of loss, pain and suffering. There are those who in time develop
what it takes to negotiate difficult terrain in life, and there are
those who do not. Yet, to have what it takes has only one
requirement--humility. We all fail in one way or another each day.
Admit it or not, we just can't seem to attain perfection. We
usually blame God for our inability to live as we should, but then
praise Him when He allows things to get a little better. We just
can't seem to find a way to be content in our circumstances, and be
thankful for both the good ones and the bad ones. But, the bottom
line is, we actually have some profound misunderstandings--about
life, about circumstances, and about God Himself. It's time once
again to hike along with award-winning author, Mark Stephen Taylor.
In this second volume, he takes us back to the Wilderness
Trail--not just to trek along its rim, but to explore its
depths--to hike up its buttes, among its sharp crags, and into its
areas of parched desolation. Mr. Taylor helps us to better
understand the difficulties of this earthly life, and leads us
along a most profound trail of discovery, illumination, and hope.
Hiking is indeed great therapy. So, what are you waiting for? Come
