In the eighth installment of the Prophet series, a simple burglary of the Praetzel's RV results in another cascade of events that bring Aleta and Stanley face to face with peril once again. For Aleta, the greatest danger is in her own mind, while Stanley must manage threats knocking at the very doorstep. Can the Praetzels manage to thwart another conspiring enemy? The odds seem to be against them, and even the help of their faithful companions might not be enough to protect the family from harm.

The discovery of a fifth locket with only four known siblings in a custody battle opens the way to a new mystery and a new threat for Aleta, who is still in the throes of her latest ordeal. What happened to the fifth child? And why did the father, Kurt Van Horne, spur such fear in his eldest son, Tyler Roach? Amidst the accusations hides a plot to bury the truth. A plot that brings an already exhausted Aleta to the breaking point. Does she have the strength to overcome so many challenges? In the seventh book of the continuing series that began with Susan Davis Sandberg's "The Reluctant Prophet", Aleta struggles to reconcile her place in the world.

In the sixth book of the Prophet series, Aleta Praetzel's new law practice is inundated with people begging for her help. A child's simple drawing begins a hurried game of cat and mouse. With hardly a moment to recover from giving birth to her son, Aleta must confront a new evil grappling the life of a four-year-old girl. While her husband, Stanley, and she do their best to hide the child and her mother from an insensitive bureaucracy, unseen forces go to work to bury the dark secret that brought the Lithuanian family to America. Too much was happening in Aleta's life for her to hear the subtle prophesy that could save her, yet she was too stubborn to admit her limitations. She wanted a normal life, and acted upon that craving without realizing how she jeopardized her own life and the lives of others.

Aleta faced the toughest choices of her life. In the follow up of The Bewildered Prophet, a young law student, newly married and six months pregnant with her first child, must make a decision between her future family and her future profession. A candidate for the House, Eugene Powell, was willing to go to any measure to stop her from becoming an attorney. She was the epitome of all he hated and a political threat as well. Aleta was used to facing such enemies, but this time a new enemy surfaced. Someone close to her had betrayed her, and now she had to battle a new enemy who was lurking in the shadows. Ultimately, it would come down to the toughest decision of her life; she could not predict her way out of making a personal sacrifice.

In the third book of the series, the drama continues for the family and friends of Aleta Praetzel in the otherwise sleepy Tri City area. Still recovering from the wounds of her previous adventure, Aleta predicts another murder. She had been right before; however, a minor stroke may have damaged her prophetic abilities, and could potentially be a symptom of much worse. Stanley, who was still untrusting of her gift, hardly thought that an old man in a retirement home speaking gibberish was in danger of being kidnapped or murdered by mold. The tenacious Aleta senses that the word is only the tip of the iceberg. Yet, unable to feed herself, hold a book or pick up a phone, how can she help a man in danger? What can she to do, especially when he refuses to point a finger at the person who wants him dead? She needs to do something. The escalation has begun. The old man's enemies turn their attention to eliminating Aleta. But she isn't the only one. Lives hang in the balance.

Aleta and Stanley entered another adventure when the 80-year-old Bessie Dobbins plunked a dollar on Stanley Praetzel's desk and announced that she was hiring them to fight the City of Oakwood's attempt to take over her farm under the umbrella of Eminent Domain. Bessie was hardly deterred by the fact that they lacked experience in such matters. Her parting comment, "You'll figure it out." What ensued were a series of violent attacks reminiscent of a holy war more so than a court case for land rights. Aleta retaliated with the only weapon she possessed, tenacity, leading the charge to uncover the truth behind the land grab and the attacks. But, had the Praetzels' good fortune come to an end? Were they ready for the dire consequences of their choices? Aleta's grandmother foretold disaster and death. Her prophecy would not be wrong. The second installment of The Prophet series, which began with The Reluctant Prophet, offers a new and darker episode in the lives of Aleta and Stanley Praetzel in a small cluster of cities north of Chicago. With hardly a moment's rest, the cast of characters are thrown into another life-or-death struggle against a number of opponents linked by their interest in Bessie's farm. God, dogs, fate and sheer pragmatism offer a unique mix as this drama unfolds.

Harriet Locke, Atherton Investment Bank's prestigious Vice President, just killed a man. She needed to hide, yet she was compelled to race to the office to finish up some paperwork. Somehow, she knew that the Tontine Trust under her care had become a prize sought after by Nevada's Ciccone cartel. She was having 'inspirations.' Would anyone believe Harriet could really prophesize? Or were hers just lucky guesses and hunches? Harriet's ragtag rescue squad comprising her granddaughter, Aleta, and Aleta's new-found cohort, Ed the detective, were armed with only the bare bones of a plan hastily conceived by Harriet. Could the love of dogs and showing really build the trust needed to protect the last survivors of the Tontine from the Ciccone's plot? And were the Ciccones really the only threat? Contrasting a frantic race against time with the studied pace of ordinary suburban living, The Reluctant Prophet offers a different style of suspense where everyday lives are catapulted unexpectedly into the mayhem of murder and corruption. The concerns pile up from Oakland to Chicago as lives are on the line, money is at stake, and faith is tested-not just faith in God but also faith in one another. Can faulty humans really foil the prophesies or the Mob? Not just a book for dog lovers, The Reluctant Prophet offers a lively and sometime humorous read for anyone who enjoys a good underdog story.

An overheard conversation in the governor's office, a shredded photograph and mysterious list of names pulls Coral Svenson and her daughter, Tara McLean, into the world of nefarious backroom politics. Once their involvement is discovered, they become targets themselves. The mother, a wealthy party volunteer, wants to protect her friends; the daughter, a fledgling reporter, is driven to break the story; and the police chief who struggles to keep himself and the two recalcitrant women alive.

Aleta Praetzel wanted a normal holiday with her family, but her latest prophecy would not allow her that luxury. The morning of Christmas Eve, a vision of ten murders that would take place that night prompted a daunting struggle to save whom she could before time ran out. But where could she start? No apparent connection existed between the victims, all gunned down by a sniper. Or was it snipers? Aleta was not sure. Only if her fellow prophets worked together to solve the challenges that await them could tragedy be averted, yet the oddest obstacle stood in their way. Was the life of a horse so important as to risk the lives of so many, drive some to flee, and leave others dead?
