    The Reluctant Guru of Alphanbet City is at one and the same time a coming-of-age story of an American guru and a guide to the discovery of spiritual life without pretension. Aziza would appear to be the least likely girl to develop into a transformative leader, but her obsessional nature drives her toward spiritual understanding. This novel spans forty-two years of the guru's family, her conception as an outcome of adolescent rebellion and rape, her precocious early development, and her obsessive spiritual interest while still a teen. Through no actions on her own part, she unintentionally becomes a spiritual personage in Greenwich Village, and her personal writings are thrust into prominence. Fighting it every step of the way, her path eventually leads her to accept the mantle of being a guru. Guru Aziza's writings stand on their own as a means to achieving a religion-free spiritual life while living in a culture that embraces narcissism and irreverence. She instructs us toward experiencing ourselves as an integral part of the universe and avoiding a path that hollows out our selves.

    "I have been reading Steve's books since the very beginning, and I always look forward to learning about Ben's and Sharon's latest adventures. I love how Steve weaves the locale and real-life resources, such as the FBI and his business knowledge, into his stories. His characters are exciting, and you can picture meeting them in real life. The banter between Ben and Sharon is affectionate and amusing. The plots are inventive, and as someone always trying to guess how a story will unfold, I'm always left guessing until the end."Regina Broscius, Public Relations Specialist and Mystery FanThe Philadelphia Eagles have been loved by their fans for many years. Their premier running back, Franklin Johns, was having a great season. However, he took a cheap shot to his knee and was taken to Penn Medicine for observation. Based on the MRI he had, Johns was scheduled for surgery. Meanwhile, most people didn't know that some local gamblers had paid a Giants player to injure Johns. The Giants player started having second thoughts about what he had done, and soon the gamblers had the player killed. Ben and Sharon soon became involved with big-time gambling, money laundering, and murder. And even though neither Ben nor Sharon were big football fans, both wanted to ensure justice was served.

    "Sam Sawyer may become my favorite crime fighter. I can't wait for the next book in this new Florida Keys mystery series ..." -Maryjane Elizabeth Jones, Heat Until BoilingThey called Arthur Broom "The Glades Man," not because he lived way out there in the river of grass, but because he was spending all his money trying to save it. And as one of the richest men in Florida there was much he could do to beat back the onslaughts of agriculture and development that were threatening the greatest wetland in North America. But that sort of thing made some powerful enemies. When he ended up dead in the water, Detective Stella Reynard had good reason to suspect it was more than a simple drowning. She recruited fishing guide and part-time sleuth Sam Sawyer to help her with the case, along with Sam's wife Katie, a full-time forensic botanist. The challenge they faced was not a lack of suspects but too many, such was the list of people whose wealth and power Art Broom had threatened.

    Ken Plough was the scourge of tiny Oletha, Iowa for decades. He stole livestock, robbed homes and violated young women. He avoided the consequences of his actions by bullying and terrorizing the townspeople with threats against them, their families and homes, burning a house to the ground in one instance, and critically wounding a neighbor in another.In an explosion of violence, Plough is gunned down as he sits in his truck outside a local watering hole; witnessed by more than 30 people who surrounded the truck where Plough sat with his wife. None of the witnesses would admit to seeing the shooter or knowing anything about the event.Plough's wife enlists the FBI to investigate the matter claiming the community and local law enforcement are acting "under the color of law" to deny her late husband justice, thereby "willfully depriving or conspiring to deprive him of a right protected by the Constitution." At the request of the regional U.S. Attorney, Special Agents Eileen Prado and Ira Fisher arrive in Oletha to investigate and are greeted by a hostile citizenry and absolute silence. But this is only the beginning of what graduates into the most chilling three weeks of their careers.Although fiction, Wretched is based on two true crimes that provide the foundation for the novel.

    "Creative characters guide the reader through what in many ways is a sailing adventure...er...caper around Jamaica... A hidden gem." -Richard J. Wall, Editor."David Beckwith's knowledge of and affection for Caribbean culture and its wind-blown intricacies are showcased in this fast-moving story set in Jamaica's hot, salty underbelly. Having had some experience in Jamaica, I can say this story is as colorful as the country itself and is filled with unique nicknames, Jamaican dialect, and the sense of abandon that exists in the lawless parts of its society. I can still smell the jerked chicken and meat patties from here." -Reef Perkins, bestselling author of Deep Air and Sex, Salvage, and SecretsWill and Betsy Black's latest adventure takes them back to Jamaica. When Jamaican Shower Posse second-in-command, Harry Dog, is given what appears to be a simple, routine assignment, he delegates it to Bigga, the posse's third-in-command, who selects Oney, Which Flava, and Twinie, three of his young up-and-comers, to carry out the task. After this "no-brainer" goes awry, however, Harry Dog is forced to send three reliables, Hi-top, Monkeyman, and Mighty Mouse, to get things back on track, but bad luck continues to strike, making it appear that if Harry Dog didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all as the hole they are digging just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

    "Wow! This is the 19th book in the Quilters Club series. And I've loved every single one of them. I'm pleased to tell you this one is among my favorites, a mixture of Shakespeare, and old cases, and kids home from college (can you believe Aggie and N'yen are already in college?) ..." -Marcy Birdweather, Marcy's Musings"So, fair reader, if thou seeketh an escapade woven with the fabric of mystery, wherein the charm of quilting doth intertwine with the riddles of the unknown, then verily, this be the book to enrapture thy senses and enthrall thy soul." -W. ShakespeareA Shakespeare-in-the-Park performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream was going so well until the actor playing Puck dropped dead in Act 3 Scene 2. Maddy Madison and her Quilters Club pals - Cookie, Bootsie, and Lizzie - with the help of their junior members jump on the case when they suspect something more sinister than the heart attack listed on the coroner's death certificate. After all, hadn't Adolphus Everly Anderson given the audience two clues before dying? This puzzler that would have William Shakespeare rolling over in his grave - except for the keen sleuthing of the Quilters Club.
