It has been two years since the death of his wife, and Frank Watson still struggles with the loss. Every morning, he meets with his friends at the local diner to talk and to exchange gossip, but inevitably must return to his farm that remains undisturbed since his wife's death. Then, Pepper Ledley breezed into his life and a steamy romance begins. She was the new waitress in town nearly half his age and offered Frank something he had never before considered, a new beginning. However, it somehow didn't seem right to Frank. How could he have these feelings when he still loved Ida? As he struggles with his new feelings and the memory of his beloved wife, Frank faces the biggest crisis of his life. A large foreign corporation needs five hundred acres of land to build an egg factory and Frank alienates himself from the rest of the town when he, steadfastly, refuses to sell. What transpires is a web of deceit, manipulation and murder.

When she was 17, there wasn't a man alive she would let get near her, and when she was 18, there wasn't a man she would keep away.She stood five feet seven inches tall, weighed one hundred twenty pounds, her green eyes sparkled like brilliant cut emeralds, her inviting full lips always ruby red and moist. Women universally hated her, men continued to hold doors for her long after she passed by - just to watch her walk away. To imply that Jessie exuded sex would be an understatement, akin to inferring that water was wet. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the men in Steam Corners wanted her, but she only wanted one man, Spencer Deacon. He was everything that she was not, even-tempered, amicable, well respected and kind. The one thing that Spencer didn't want was Jessie, and his firm and undeniable rejections infuriated her.What followed was a series of sordid events involving murder, deceit, betrayal and the conviction of an innocent man.

A prominent newspaper columnist kills the man mostly likely to be the next Governor of Kentucky - and gets away with it. Ten years later, the death of his mentor brings him back to the scene of the crime. When Theodore O'Hara Clark arrives he finds he's inherited a fortune and is made responsible for a newspaper, racing, and farming empire he doesn't want and doesn't know how to run. Almost immediately he becomes embroiled in a fight with the new governor and is threatened with blackmail by a young graduate student who has found a document that can exposure him as the killer in the long ago murder. And he must at last face Allie -- the love he walked away from but has never forgotten. The action takes place mostly in Kentucky's fabled Bluegrass section and in Frankfort, the state's capitol city, which is in turmoil in the midst of policies put in place by the new governor that are crippling the city. The story moves at a riveting pace through San Francisco to the canyons of Manhattan to the mountains of southern Appalachia where snake-handling cults still thrive. What happens when Theo comes home is not what anyone expects - most particularly Theo. "The characters are richly drawn. The action runs at a riveting pace. What happened When THEO Came Home is a helluva read and a fine, fine story." - Ian Kellogg When THEO Came Home is the concluding novel in the THEO Trilogy. The other books in the series are: THEO's Story and THEO & The Mouthful of Ashes.

When Mary L. Tabor's husband of 21 years announced, "I need to live alone," she cratered and turned to the only comfort she had left: her writing. What resulted was (Re)MAKING LOVE: a sex after sixty story, a fresh, witty, funny and brutally honest memoir of everything she felt and did during her long journey back to happiness. This deeply personal account of her saga takes the reader from Washington, DC to Missouri to Australia through the good, the bad and the foolish from Internet dating to outlandish flirting and eventually to Paris where an unexpected visitor changed the author's life forever. Her story offers hope and joy told with passion and brilliance that is highly refreshing with the single and most prominent message-it is never too late to find love-and oneself even after age sixty and beyond.

A prominent widow is found dead at the foot of the cellar stairs in the family home on a farm in the lush Bluegrass section of Kentucky. Her head has been bashed in by an old flatiron found near the body and her mouth stuffed full of ashes. The county is shocked - horrified at the brutality of the murder and mystified at the use of the ashes. Theo Clark, a young Marine veteran of the Korean War, working part time at the local newspaper while finishing up his interrupted college career, is assigned to cover the story because no experienced reporters are around when the tip comes in. A band of wandering Gypsies are suspected, as is another young Marine veteran of Korea with drug and alcohol problems. Even the victim's married daughter, her only child, is a suspect. Theo has never covered a murder but if he can unravel this mystery it can be his ticket to the start of an exceptional career. On the surface a mystery tale, Theo & The Mouthful of Ashes is also an exploration of the social and political dynamics at play in an important small town in the mid-1950s and of the draw home-place has on individuals. It is the prequel to Theo's Story and carries Theo from his return from the war to the beginning of his career.

"It's neither a Republican nor a Democratic party view point, it's an old-time medical practitioner telling it the way it was and the way it is." - Gunther Hirsch, MD, MPH Gunther Hirsch, MD, has followed the delivery of the health system for fifty-seven years and more so since the Obama Bill on health care was passed by the US Congress and became the law of the country. Already, insurance companies are balking - increasing premiums, reducing coverage and just plain bailing out. The medical community invents the wheel; it goes by different labels: "Functional Medicine", "Urban Medicine" and "Boutique Medicine". The imagination is boundless. Medicine has become a supermarket commodity. Target advertises, "We specialize in booboos, owies and whoopsies - routine health care for life's little uh-ohs." Wal-Mart gives flu shots and expands and advertises at the store entrances that they will bill the insurers. As this book will tell the reader, general practice was the correct term for all of this and they weren't called booboos, whoopsies and owies. Looks like going to medical school for seven years and then internship and residency is a waste of time. It's so simple; after all, one just suffers from OWIES. SICK! is a refreshing dose of the right medicine for an ailing medical system.
