Lady Baldwin is beautiful, desirable, conniving, yet sometimes kind, extremely generous, and very thoughtful. Loved and hated in equal measure, it's anyone's guess as to who would ultimately kill her. Bored with her husband Lord Baldwin and his stuffy friends, she prefers her exciting show biz pals and the thrills of illicit sex. As a part of the English Aristocracy, she is very rich, surrounded by servants, totally outrageous, and she likes to control everyone's life. Told by a real English Butler with a certain degree of true English humor, this murder story will give you an insight into life in a wealthy, country mansion.

Beautiful, young, professional women believe that they are being courted by a very handsome rich man. Little do they know that it's a part of his plan. For years, Alec has wanted to take one of their lives but ultimately pulled out, fearing discovery and arrest. When he gets an unexpected opportunity with a total stranger, he takes it, and it sets off a cycle of murder. Alec also has a brother, George, a former rapist who is more than happy to do his brother's killing once he has his own time with the victims. Thousands of women go missing every year in the U.S., and unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise, then they remain classed as missing persons. Detective Garcia believes that the women are being murdered, but she needs to find some evidence before the wealthy and educated brothers disappear. Set in San Francisco and its East Bay, this story will make you realize that even if you're very careful, very bad things can happy to you by the ones you would least suspect.

Bullies are a huge problem, not only to children but also to adults. Plenty is said, but very little action is taken to stop it. James asked for help in school but never received any, and he continued to be bullied into his working years. Then he does something about it. He would prefer to get an apology from his former tormentors, but if they refuse, they have to face the consequences. James doesn't care how far he goes, not until he meets up with a former pupil who was also mistreated, and he finds a life that he thought was beyond him. He then goes on to help other victims who feel alone, hated, and sometimes suicidal. Although this is an entertaining novel, I hope that it will make people think about how they treat others, and how their views about certain things get adopted by their children. Just because people are different in some way doesn't mean you should pick on them or treat them unfairly. I hope this message gets across from "CONSEQUENCES."

Human Trafficking is a global problem almost on a par with the drug trade. The slave trade is now a 35 Billion Dollar a year business, and the traffickers are ruthless. 80% of those trafficked are forced into the sex trade, and the biggest demand is for children. The average age is eleven years old. The slave trade was abolished in the US over a hundred and fifty years ago, but the trade is thriving. Every state has its own problems and very often their own laws to enforce. This story highlights what can happen to perfectly innocent children, homegrown and imported, who find themselves at the mercy of these truly awful people who exploit them with no remorse. It also shows how difficult it is for law enforcement, especially the FBI, to find these kids and prosecute their captors. Although the book is very harrowing at times, there are good endings for some of the victims, just as there are in real life. I hope you enjoy the book and that it makes you more aware of this dreadful business.
