grandson of Black Hawk, the legendary war leader of the Sauk, Fox
and Kickapoo tribes during the Black Hawk War in 1832. The young

Mountains of Colorado. Along the way, Little Hawk is befriended by

within sight of his mother's homeland, Little Hawk is captured by

Major General Lance N. Stalwardt commands a small and highly secret
military unit, organized to conduct covert operations in foreign
countries to preserve the national security of the United States.
Only those in the unit and three people know of the unit's
existence, the President of the United States, the National
Security Adviser and a man named Hawkins. Two of the men are
assassinated and attempts are made to kill General Stalwardt and
the newly sworn President. He must find those responsible, but in
doing so, he must break a sacred vow not to use the secret unit
against the U.S. Government. However, he must sacrifice his
personal feelings and employ the secret unit inside the country in
order to survive and to find those responsible for the
assassinations. It is possible the assassins are powerful political
men who knew about the secret unit and may be part of the American
federal government.

I Kept My Chin Up by Hannah Ackerman, is a story about a young lady
at the age of 7 who out of curiosity had a vision that, unbeknownst
to her, would turn out to be a tribute to honor veterans and those
who serve our great country. Miss Ackerman's book, I Kept My Chin
Up, presents remarkable and well-crafted insights into the depth of
service freely given in defense of our country by U.S. military
personnel and their families. Loss of life and limb in defense of
American liberties resounds across the centuries beginning with the
shot heard round the world fired at Lexington Green in 1775 to open
the Revolutionary War. Since then, American blood has flown freely
in the great cause of freedom. Patriotism fuels the great desire to
defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic. Miss
Ackerman at the tender age of seventeen has produced a work that
honors memories of our veterans and patriots who have given great
service to our country

For over thirty years, a self-ordained church leader has convinced
his small congregation to secretly kill dozens of people after
hearing an inner voice, whom he believes to be God, tells him to
cleanse the world of chosen sinners. The sinners are criminals who
committed heinous crimes and escaped capital punishment because of
a legal or technical oversight, allowing them to go free. The
tormented religious fanatic and his followers abduct the hapless
sinners, torture them for days, then administer divine absolution;
a brutal and sacrificial death. An investigation into three
unrelated crimes by a shrewd county sheriff uncovers the mysterious
carnage and shocks a rural mid-western farm community to its very
core.
Unsinkable Sailors: The fall and rise of the crews of the USS Frank
E. Evans, is a non-fiction book to commemorate the fortieth
anniversary of the June 3, 1969 sinking of the USS Frank E. Evans,
written by Lakewood, Colorado author Paul Sherbo. Using official
documents and survivor interviews the author has compiled in book
form the first comprehensive American version of the tragic 1969
collision at sea in which the USS Frank E. Evans (DD-745), a United
States Navy destroyer, was struck by the Australian aircraft
carrier HMAS Melbourne. The author describes in detail the actions
leading up to, during and after the catastrophic incident as told
by survivors and witnesses from both ships involved. Operating as
part of a combined force with the Royal Australian Navy and other
allied naval ships, the Evans executed a starboard turn into the
path of Melbourne at 0315 a.m. on June 3, 1969 and was cut in half
by the heavier and larger war ship. Evans' broken off bow section
sank almost immediately taking 73 unfortunate crewmembers with it.
Only one body was recovered in the aftermath of the collision,
bringing the total lost to 74. Out of the 273 crewmembers on board,
199 survived. Five crewmembers assigned to the Evans were not
aboard at the time of the collision. The stern section, although
severely damaged, remained afloat. Throughout the book, the courage
and heroic spirit of both ships' crews add a genuine admiration for
their bravery despite their confusion in the sudden turn of events.
