The two things Lela wants most in life are a decent last name and
an end to the hauntings. She can deal with her new husband's
obnoxious clan, but she's not the only one under the spell of a
mysterious curse when treasure hunters, black marketeers, psychics,
and the eccentric, snorting Pantiwyckes invade the community. In
the end, who will inherit the ominous legacy laid down by a dying
Conquistador? Anything is possible in Silverville. A novel by Kym
O'Connell-Todd and Mark Todd. Published by Raspberry Creek Books.
Morgan Johanssen is a thirty-something virologist caught between
her conscience and work on a secret government project, between
childhood tragedy and fear of commitment, and between her loosening
grip on sanity and a mysterious child who appears to her in dreams
and waking visions. But these are the least of her worries. Morgan
doesn't yet know she's also caught between past and future, and the
actions she's about to take will determine the fate of life on
earth.
What happens when a town's local resident spots a UFO? Silverville
sees nothing but dollar signs. First an amusement park and museum
and then a celestial motif for the whole town. Con artists and
embezzlers, tourists and kooks all get caught up in the frenzy,
some hoping to make a quick buck, others seeking a spiritual
message from beyond the stars. Ride along on this irreverent
adventure that reveals Colorado mountain culture at its most
outrageous, where nothing is sacred and everyone shares in the
madness of money, murder and mayhem.
Everyone knows you can't time-travel. But the rules change in
Silverville, where anything is possible. Combine ley lines with a
mysterious privy fungus and you might end up anywhere from ancient
Egypt to the Wild West or into the future. Add in an almost-zombie
and a pig that can sing "Happy Birthday," and you're in for a wild
ride - if the tour guide can just work out the kinks. This is book
three of the Silverville Saga of books.
The London 2012 Olympic medalist on his stunning comeback. Mark
Todd's eventing career is the stuff of legends and encompasses one
of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time. When he 'retired'
from competing in eventing in 2000, he had already been named
'Rider of the Century' for his natural empathy with a horse and his
extraordinary success, which included back-to-back Olympic gold
medals, five Burghley wins and three Badminton victories. He has
also show jumped to Olympic level and trained winners on the
racecourse. Considered a legendary horseman by his peers, he seemed
to have done it all. He returned to train racehorses in his native
New Zealand but, eight years later, the idea of a comeback took
root, part dare, part personal challenge to see if he could still
cut it in a changed sport. Within eight months, he was riding at
the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in 2011 he hit the headlines by
becoming the oldest rider to win Badminton. This was soon eclipsed
by his stunning win at the London 2012 Olympics, however. The story
of his progress from dairy farmer to world renown, is told with
typically laid-back humour, but it reveals the fierce
determination, discipline and personal sacrifice which lies behind
the relaxed outlook.
