Action and Treachery in America's Civil WarPolarizing, fire-eating discourse, propaganda, and aversion to reason bred secession madness in Charleston, S.C. and sold rebellion to a population with virtually nothing to gain and everything to lose. Men who should have known better and had become inured to the abomination of human bondage failed to step up. As Southern nationalists raced into Civil War, blockade runner Jack Holmes and wealthy Charleston shipping magnate, George A. Trenholm, do what they can to sustain their city and the Confederacy. Their actions and experiences result in a sweeping adventure story played out on both the land and sea. With the outcome of the war obvious, Jack Holmes and George Trenholm conspire to steal the Confederate gold as Jefferson Davis flees a burning Richmond. The two men accept their responsibility for what proved to be a misguided and tragic rebellion and seek to adapt and redeem themselves in a post-slavery South.

June 7, 1992, is the day that changed Springfield, Missouri, forever. That's when the "three missing women," also known as "the Springfield Three," disappeared without a trace.The day before was one of celebration for Stacy McCall and Suzie Streeter, for that was when they graduated from Kickapoo High School. June 7 was supposed to be light-hearted and fun for the new graduates as they planned a trip to a water park in Branson with several of their classmates. Following a night of parties, the young women made a late-night, last-minute decision to sleep at Suzie's house - the home of her mother, Sherrill Levitt. It was a fateful decision because by the morning of June 7, the three women had vanished and were never seen again. Based on a true story, this novel explores the details of a real missing-person's case via a father-and-son's fictional search for truth. In the spring of 2020, co-authors Alan Brown and Brian Brown were facing a downturn at the family's St. Louis-based marketing firm. During their idle time, they began discussing and researching the most famous unsolved case from Brian's hometown. Soon, Brian was headed to Springfield to meet with his father's friend, an Ozarks' original, Private Investigator Booger McClain. What follows is an investigation like no other; one which ultimately reveals the gratitude friends and families can share with one another as they live lives of chance.

War has been declared in the United States of America. A second revolution, waged by politicians rather than armies, is underway. Touched off by the death of the president - did he die of liver disease or was he assassinated? - partisan factions have squared off to determine who owns the country, and the coming election promises to be bitter and hard-fought. Tommy Sawyer, now a reluctant "journalist" in the nation's capital, finds himself in the middle of the fight. Increasingly skeptical of his new profession and its impact on the life of the country, he is caught between two powerful women who use a corrupt press to bring class and racial tensions to the boiling point. Their rivalry transforms the nation and takes it to the edge of anarchy. In the tradition of The Last Hurrah and Advise and Consent, Nimrod's Tower perfectly captures the zeitgeist of our times, a sobering parable of politics run amuck.
