It’s 2113 in the United States but Christina Applewait does not recognize it as the country she read about in the banned books of the library. It is a nation where the ruling elite select the president by right of succession. Now, her heart is breaking and fear has flooded the craggy fissure. Her dear grandfather, Oliver Richly, the presidential candidate in the newly formed 1787-Constitutionalists Party has been kidnapped. Her friend, Dr. Jason O’Reilly, helps her in the desperate search to find him. Is he alive? If he is, will they find him before the presidential election?
It has only been a year since Silas Drummond broke the silence about the atrocities buried beneath Howard Mountain. Judge Carl Brunner issued a two-year stay on all those forced into the never-ending-sleep, thus ending their Length of Days. She and Jason crossed all four closed zone borders to establish a network to place a citizens’ referendum, to overturn the Length of Days Law, on the ballot at the presidential election. Now they travel to campaign for the one true candidate of the people, Oliver Richly. The whole country is excited about having their voice heard again after one-hundred years of silence. Will they find Christy’s grandfather before it’s too late and the authorities remove his name from the election ballot? That may also doom the Length of Days referendum and citizen will continue to die on the government’s schedule of death.

In Just in Time, the first book in the new cozy mystery series Murder, She Blogged, Clisty Sinclair’s romance with police sergeant Jake Davis is growing as fast as her career. She constantly worries how she’ll keep up with everything. From being a local newscaster and the super blogger of Fort Wayne, her life suddenly explodes. The CEO of the Bryson News Network in New York discovers her blog when Clisty posts updates about Faith Sterling’s escape after ten years in captivity, and the trial of her kidnapper that follows. BNN’s boss is so impressed with her work he offers Clisty a contract that catapults her into the fast-paced world of network television journalism. In the beginning, it’s hard for Clisty to celebrate her new gold-plated job. It involves a move to New York City, away from the family she loves and Jake whom she would love more deeply if her compulsive, in-charge nature allowed her. She thought she had to control everything around her. Remember, the abductor snatched Clisty along with Faith, when they were both nine years old, but Clisty managed to pull away and hid. She had almost a lifetime of fear to overcome. Still, she knew anyone would feel blessed if offered a fantastic job with triple points in the contract. The contract includes BNN’s financial underwriting of her blog, Crime Beat from the Heartland; publication of her True Crime novels; and her own segment, Stories from the Heartland, on their popular program, American News Magazine. Clisty’s Heartland stories help change broadcast journalism from a constant focus on the negative, to a positive spotlight on ordinary people doing extraordinary things to benefit others. The first Heartland Hero she schedules is actually a couple, Dr. Karl Kramer, who created a convenient medical aid with universal appeal, and his wife, Professor Karen Kramer, who programmed it. Clisty, her producer and their camera man tape an interview with the couple a few days before Karen’s attack; before a stalker turns up at Clisty’s front door; and before the murder of a product-tester for the device. These events create a need to hire Jake as Clisty’s body guard and over-all security. Clisty calls on her blog followers to help add light to the darkness by reporting any research they find that may solve the crimes. Could the Kramers amazing new medical “Buddy” be the cause of the murder and mysterious attacks the news team encounters? Clisty must learn to move at the new rapid tempo; solve the mysteries that surround her; overcome her fears from the past; and secretly keep the new love in her life, Jake Davis, at the center of her whirlwind. Secret? Clisty’s life is as complicated as yours. ~Just in Time continues the story of blogger and news anchor, Clisty Sinclair, first introduced in the prequel, News at Eleven – A Novel.

Pray Them to Heaven. Some ask why God takes people from their loved ones so soon. I believe He takes no one but receives them when they arrive home. We feel helpless when a loved one dies who doesn''t believe that the one God is their God, and Jesus is their savior. We grieve when we lose the loved one. If we are Christian, but our loved one isn''t, our grief may double. We grieve over their passing and we grieve because we may not see them in Heaven. We think we must be in control of everything, but we can''t stop our friend or loved one from dying. It has to be someone''s fault. So . . . we blame God. This small book is my testimony of what the Lord gave me-a process to pray them to the gate of Heaven. Let me tell you of my experience, so you may grieve no more.

It''s 1619, and fourteen-year-old John Gowen''s world was just destroyed. All he has known of his former home in Africa is lost. John, and 350 other Angolans, were captured as spoils of war by Portugal, loaded onto two slave ships, and sailed for the Americas. Deep in the belly of The White Lion, he sits among the dead and dying as he makes the months-long voyage. Yet, despite his tragic beginnings, he grew up to be a man of significance.
When I researched my distant ancestors and my DNA results came in, I discovered ninety 5th great-grandparents. On my direct paternal line was Thomas Christopher "Sobering Wind" Gowen (black, white, and part Cherokee). I was shocked and amazed. How could that be? I had reddish/blond hair, freckles, and blue eyes.
Researching Thomas, I discovered my 7th great-grandfather, John Gowen. He was among the first twenty to thirty Africans to come to the British Colonial American settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, ten years before the Pilgrims landed. What he did with his life as a fourteen-year-old, black, indentured servant, alone in an unchartered new world, who became one of the first freed black men in North America, was amazing.
I''ve included prompts in A Man of Significance to help you learn about one of your ancestors. You can take joy in the distant one you find, erase disappointments of the past, and embrace love. You may be surprised by what you find and enjoy the basic truth that family is everything.
You must hear John Gowen''s story. He was truly a man of significance. This narrative nonfiction book is for everyone.
