Meet Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective ... Private Investigator Ashton Ford has special powers, powers some call supernatural. A former naval intelligence officer, Ford will shatter your ideas of reality and take you into a mystical world of vision, intuition, and psychic truth. A phenomenal psychic, unparalleled lover, and a true Renaissance man, Ashton Ford can see into the future and even into the distant past using his psychic powers to assist clients in crisis. HEART TO HEART is an adventure that Ashton Ford never intended to share because it involved many tender depths of his own heart. It all started with the sudden appearance of a gentleman reported to have died over 150 years ago-and a mind-blowing mystery high above the sea in Laguna Beach, California. There, in a magnificent mansion, Ford finds himself surrounded by luxurious comfort and the flesh and blood "ghosts" of people from the past. Ford's keen and awesome talents must now pierce the secret of the mansion, while his heart, at the mercy of an ageless and beautiful sculptress, follows a dangerous path of its own. Don Pendleton wrote this about his Ashton Ford series of novels: "Through this character I attempt to understand more fully and to give better meaning to my perceptions of what is going on here on Planet Earth, and the greatest mystery of all the mysteries: the why of existence itself. Through Ford I use everything I can reach in the total knowledge of mankind to elaborate this mystery and to arm my characters for the quest. I try to entertain myself with their adventures, hoping that what entertains me may also entertain others-so these books, like life itself, are not all grim purpose and trembling truths. They are fun to write; for some they will be fun to read." "Ashton Ford is a spectacular character..." Booklist

This action-packed adventure of ex-cop turned private eye, Joe Copp, takes him into the world of corrupt lawmakers and cops on the take. Copp is hired by an old friend, the current Brighton City Administrator, to get to the bottom of the municipal mess in the Southern California town of Brighton. The mayor has been murdered; the Chief of Police has resigned amid rumors of corruption within his department; and other city officials are being accused of similar allegations. Almost from the moment that Joe Copp takes on the job of Acting Police Chief, it is an icy, downhill slide for Copp. A beautiful police officer tries to set him up on attempted rape charges, and his investigation leads him on a murky trail of murder, sex, drugs and dirty politics. The police badge Copp wears offers little protection against the evil forces of corruption.Milwaukee Sentinel: "Pendleton is a master of action and dialog and 'Copp' is a taut detective story.

COPP IN THE DARK Don Pendleton plunges his hard-boiled private eye character, Joe Copp into the dark shadows and lower depths of legitimate theater in this riveting fast-moving story. It all begins innocently enough, except that Copp cannot quite identify his client-it seems that the entire cast of a community dinner theater production of "Man of La Mancha" may have hired him. The fast pace of events threatens to overwhelm Copp in a maze of government agents, organized crime figures, questionable politicians, and murder, as he struggles to learn the truth before he, himself, takes the big fall. Copp is truly "in the dark" until the last bloody act. And not even he can know who will be around to answer the final curtain call. "A fast-moving, even blurring, story of murder behind the floodlights."

The pages of To Dance With Angels hold a key to the meaning of life on planet Earth and all that lies beyond, revealed to the authors of this book, Don and Linda Pendleton, in clear and simple language, often with humor, and always with love, by one who has experienced it all.

We also knew that To Dance With Angels would be a powerful and inspirational book. The heartwarming response from our readers over these many years has confirmed that."

This award winning nonfiction book, A Search for Meaning from the Surface of a Small Planet, is both sober and lighthearted, sometimes awed and sometimes irreverent (toward both science and religion)-but always intensely personal, rational, stretching and pressing toward a wedding of scientific understanding and mystical thought. Although Don Pendleton (1927-1995) did not come draped with academic honors or letters, his extensive background in science and communications-as a telegrapher, an aerospace engineer, a metaphysical scholar, and author, gave him the ability to take a reader very far beyond themselves, whether it be in fiction or in nonfiction. In this book, Pendleton dramatically investigates the sciences, religions and philosophies with a view toward dignifying the human experience and provides a frame work in which the individual reader may validate his/her own life and dreams relating to the whole. Don's slant into the material is unique; often humorous; the findings evocative; conclusions satisfying for the rationalist; inspiring; and, perhaps, even transformational for the true seeker. For those who wish to be challenged by innovative thinking and daring ideas-reaching with their minds to coax out an understanding of the world as well as the meaning of their own lives-will find this book takes them on a spiritual search as well as an intellectual one "Don Pendleton was not only a writer with a strong sense of how to use language, but he was also an interdisciplinarian whose interests are far-ranging. A SEARCH FOR MEANING is nothing less than an attempt to synthesize metaphysics and physics. Yet, the tenor of the book invites a broad audience to read, to think about, to puzzle over the many questions he asks in his quest to understand the meaning of 'meaning.' Integrating many domains of knowledge, Pendleton touches on questions of religion, God, relativity, and brain research, among other fields...all in all, this book is a must-read for a general audience." -Gabriele Rico, Ph.D., author of the best-selling, Writing the Natural Way, Professor of English and Creative Arts at San Jose State University, and Independent E-book Awards Judge, 2002. A Search for Meaning From the Surface of a Small Planet won the Independent E-book 2002 Best of Nonfiction Award and the Digital Literature Best of Nonfiction, 2002.
