Just when disgraced Atlanta cop-turned-private eye Marcus Rydell
prepares to eat his gun, a kid in trouble, a call to duty, and a
dirty blonde named Kat Holley stop him cold. Kat pulls Marcus from
his suicidal depression and his soon-to-be demolished apartment
building-only to make him face his past. She leads him on a deadly
hunt deep into the blackest forest in the Red Earth State. Near the
Georgia-Tennessee border in the breathtaking Blue Ridge
countryside, the pair watch a safe haven become their death trap.
They seek to destroy a local legend, a cave-dwelling ex-marine and
murderer, a monster whose instincts and military training have
allowed him to survive in the wilderness for four years, eluding
the Feds as well as Atlanta PD. When the hunters become the hunted,
they must duel with this psychotic deviant.
Book One in the Children of Salem Trilogy INTRIGUE, SUSPENSE, AND
ROMANCE IN THE TIME OF THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS A spy working for
religious organizations, Jere Wakely is summoned to Salem Village
Parish, where it has become obvious to church authorities that
there is serious trouble. He is reluctant to return to his hometown
for many reasons, not the least being that his heart is broken and
he's worried about running into his former lover, Serena Nurse.
During his investigation, he has no expectation that their love
will be rekindled. But their renewed passion parallels a greater
fire--one of terror amid the infamous Salem Witch Trials. A witch
hunt in this important election year of 1692 is backdrop to a
romance filled with intrigue and mystery; the history is accurate,
and the truth is disturbing yet fascinating.
This historical generational horror/suspense/science fiction novel
defies genre classification as it has intrigue and terror. It is a
Centenary retelling of the Titanic story to destroy all the false
legends surrounding Titanic. "From a master of terror and
suspense," according to Clive Cussler, author of Raise the Titanic,
herein lies a compelling reason that forces Captain Edward J. Smith
to scuttle his own ship-RMS Titanic. What dark secret prompts such
an action on the part of a veteran, retiring captain on a ship's
maiden voyage? What prompts men a hundred years later to pillage
the wreck of the Titanic? What secret lies buried within the lost
ship-a secret that could destroy all life as we know it? The
answers are unveiled in April 1912 and in April 2012...and there
will be blood...

Eleven Deadly Days in the Caribbean Join Marsha & Danny Jones
as they face the greatest threat yet to the Sea Empress and her
passengers on a wonderful cruise to the Caribbean - with a serial
killer on board A fascinating group of people have joined the
cruise to the warm and sunny islands, from famous authors to
stalking reviewers, a country music legend and a top FBI agent sent
to help track down a killer. Danger lurks every day as the body
count begins. When will it all end? Only The Shadow knows for sure
Some of the most bloodthirsty pirates in the world were brought to
justice and held over for trial in Scotland, England and the United
States . These trials detail their dastardly deeds with startling
testimony of those who were there and lived to be able to testify
in person. What happened to the Jane of Gibraltar? Learn how
pirates repainted a ship at sea, killed the captain and cook and
set a fire in the hold with the rest of the crew to suffocate, all
for the purpose of taking over the ship and a valuable cargo of
silver dollars and gold. Pirates plundered other ships on the high
seas while on the brig Crawford a cunning act of piracy was
perpetrated by a veteran pirate leader. He slit his own throat to
escape justice while three Spaniards he recruited stood trial with
the esteemed Chief Justice John Marshall presiding over the federal
court in Richmond, Virginia in 1827, a rare trial. Follow the
action in a blow-by blow description of the murder and mayhem right
into the courtroom. Over 50,000 people attended one execution of
pirates in England making one wonder if anyone was fortunate enough
to have the fish and chips concession that day There are no magic
scenes out of sparkling Caribbean waters with Captain Jack Sparrow
dueling with a devil, but the genuine evil related in these
authentic pirate trials will certainly make your timbers shiver
Great editorial cartoons reflecting the news as reported by ST.
MARY'S TODAY newspaper over the 22 years of its publication were
enjoyed far and wide. Democrats loved it when Republicans were
gored and the GOP thought the cartoons lampooning Maryland Governor
Parris Glendening and his mistress were terrific Gov. Robert
Erhlich said St. Mary's Today was his favorite newspaper...until he
was the subject of cartoons. With the "Where's the Loot" series,
the cops and drug dealers made for great fun when it came time to
put pen to paper. We had wonderful artists bring to life the wit
and sarcasm of the cartoonist, Ken Rossignol, who couldn't draw
worth a damn, but he was and is, a first-class smart ass Now along
with tons of great editorial cartoons is The Story of THE RAG The
toughest newspaper in Maryland for more than 20 years The newspaper
that a Sheriff, States Attorney and posse of deputies rounded up in
the dead of night to make sure voters didn't read before voting on
Election Day 1998 The United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit
issued a Landmark First Amendment ruling in the case that is now
the law of the land Murder, mayhem and madness and more
Except for Douglas MacArthur, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is the most
decorated soldier in American history, having earned his
Congressional Medal of Honor and every other medal offered by the
United States to the foot soldier for combat heroism. As a young
man, he wanted to have a career in the military, but his father,
President Theodore Roosevelt, discouraged this. Ted went to
Harvard, and dreamed of one day following his father into the White
House. Things did not go well for him politically; he had only two
one-year terms in the New York State Assembly and a failed run for
the New York Governorship. Other positions held in his working life
included: carpet salesman, bond salesman, investment banker,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, big game hunter, Governor General
of Puerto Rico, Governor General of the Phillipine Islands, and
editor and VP at Doubleday Publishing Co. Yet the army was where
his niche obviously lay: he served as Battalion Commander in WWI;
after the Armistice, he and four other non-career officers founded
The American Legion, as it exists today. After seeing combat in
North Africa, Sicily and Italy (under Eisenhower) during WWII, he
assisted in the preparation for D-Day. On Utah Beach in Normandy,
under enemy fire for hours, Roosevelt served as assistant Division
Commander of the 4th Infantry Division. His death, some weeks after
D-Day, came just before he was to be promoted to Major General, an
unheard-of-honor for any reserve officer. Robert Wells Walker was
born and raised in the small city of Florence, Alabama. After
attending the local public schools, a BS degree from the University
of Alabama and a two-year stint as a lieutenant in the Army
preceded his admission to Law School at Emory University. After
earning an LLB degree and passing both the Alabama and Georgia bar
exams, he returned to Florence, where he practiced law and raised
cattle for the next 36 years. Now retired from law, he still has
cattle and cherishes his time spent with his children and grandson.
Other pleasures include playing duplicate bridge and fishing in the
beautiful Tennessee River. For this biography of Theodore Roosevelt
Jr., Walker did extensive research in New York State and Texas,
uncovering personal documents and photographs which are available
to the public for the first time in THE NAMESAKE.
