But Pookie, Mookie, and Dookie are wrong, maybe dead wrong!  With the help of the most renowned detectives of their time, Sirs Prescott and Basil Youngblood, a chief inspector from Scotland Yard and a host of incredible characters from the present day USA and 19th century England, they seek to rid the world of Mr. Black, once and for all. Unfortunately, this powerful evil is out for sweet revenge and his diabolical scheme won't end until he destroys the Ookie brothers and everyone around them.  Mr. Silver's dog detectives always challenge the readers. Written for pre-teens, teenagers and young adults, his many followers have tried to solve the mysteries, but few do until the last chapter.

In Wisconsin, the argument is stringent: should the death penalty be reinstated or is it considered cruel and unusual punishment? It's an issue that incites debate; more so, it is an issue that incites anger, whether citizens are for or against capital punishment. Thomas McCormick is a member of the Wisconsin State Legislature. He has seen firsthand the pros and cons of the death penalty, so does he want it reinstated? Following a bank robbery and the murder of a policeman, capital punishment advocates go wild. The criminal killed a cop; doesn't the criminal deserve to die? McCormick finds himself involved with the protestors, especially when he meets beautiful Barbara Hernandez, a tenacious crusader out for justice. Tom must decide which side he's on, and he has to decide fast, before things get out of control. With Barb's help, Tom gets a referendum put before voters that would reinstate the death penalty. Not only are Barb and Tom's lives threatened, but a certain political activist will attempt to prevent their success through strong arm tactics and even murder. It isn't the ideal time to fall in love, but Tom can't help his growing feelings for Barb. As they fight for what they believe is right, they must also fight for each other.

The silence and reluctance of author James A. Lynch's youth has been left behind; he has become a storyteller in the true form of grandfathers everywhere. In A Boy Named Jim, he provides a look into slices of his life. This memoir presents the true story of Lynch's journey from the innocence of childhood in a small midwestern town; through the rollicking good times of the teenage years, college, and navy life; through thirty years of the dark depths of chronic alcoholism; and finally through the process of recovery and sobriety. A Boy Named Jim tells of Lynch's heartbreaks and failures, as well as the miracles and faith that brought him back to reality to live the life of a spiritually peaceful and gracious old man. That morning ... I finally realized what I had become, what I was, and what I probably would always be: a hopeless, helpless drunk. I didn't amount to anything, never had, and never would. I feared I would probably die in a drunken stupor somewhere, or I would be permanently institutionalized. I didn't realize until sometime later, lying cut and bruised in a strange basement, I had been granted two important things: a moment of clarity and the gift of desperation.

Author Ivy Shih Leung shares her not-so-perfect road to motherhood in this book that is part memoir and part self-help guide, reflecting lessons learned in the form of helpful tips and information to empower readers on the biological and sociological roots behind postpartum depression (PPD). She also seeks to raise awareness of the myths of motherhood and the stigma of PPD that contribute to the silent suffering of many mothers, as well as the importance of adequate social support in the early postpartum weeks. A culmination of Ivy&rsquo;s frightening PPD journey and her emergence from it with a passion to learn more about perinatal mood disorders, this book is fueled with passion to help other women and their families, anger from the unnecessary suffering Ivy went through from the lack of information available to the public about PPD, her doctors&rsquo; ignorance and lack of sensitivity, and public remarks like, &ldquo;There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance&rdquo;&mdash;all of which shows there&rsquo;s still a long way to go in terms of educating the public about an illness that is suffered by one in eight new mothers. With side effects that include shame, helplessness, and despair at a time that is supposed to be one of the happiest in a woman&rsquo;s life, Ivy wants to help fellow PPD advocates get the message out that PPD is not a mind-over-matter thing, as those who don&rsquo;t know any better tend to believe. PPD is an illness that must be taken seriously. We must all remember that the health of the family unit depends on the mother&rsquo;s well-being. &ldquo;&hellip; Ivy Shih Leung&rsquo;s voice as a storyteller is strong, loud, and clear. Ivy is a survivor of postpartum depression, and through the written words on each page you can hear her roar.&rdquo; &mdash;Jane Honikman, Founder of Postpartum Support International

365 Days Until ...: The Journey to Our Wedding

Every married couple has their own meaningful tales-and occasionally horror stories-of wedding preparation. Few couples, however, have that time as intricately and intimately documented as Alexander and Ahesha Catalano. 365 Days Until ...: The Journey to Our Wedding details the year-long journey to the Alexander and Ahesha Catalano's wedding day. Every night, for 365 days prior to their wedding, they recorded everything they did in preparation for the wedding. They chronicled all of the foolishness, the things they learned about each other, and the things they learned about marriage, each in their own journal. They considered everything from mundane details to what it would take for them to reach their golden anniversary. Most importantly, they wrote about all the fun they had coordinating their wedding and how much they truly adore one another. But there's a twist-neither of them read each other's journal until after they were married. Independent of each other, they captured all of their emotions at each step in the process of organizing their most important day. What began as a way for them to keep everything organized for their wedding accidently turned into something much, much more important. 365 Days Until ...: The Journey to Our Wedding offered an opportunity for Alex and Esha to share all of their most intimate thoughts and fears about getting married with each other, and it will encourage others in preparation for their own wedding day.

Pandora 2011: Accounts of the Cursed Shopping Center

The Crescent Beach Mall in South Carolina was your basic modern shopping center-boutiques, movie theaters, eateries, and a packed parking lot-until reality unraveled on the inside. Now the mall is a supernatural oddity known worldwide as "Pandora's Box." People travel from miles around to have their chance inside; some come out, and some are never seen again. Native to the area, Sebastian doesn't mean to cash in on the possible tragedies of others, necessarily, but he finds there's money to be made by a tour service into the bowels of Pandora. He gives visitors ample warning: if they have certain strong phobias or hidden shame, they might not want to go inside. It's up to them to listen. As his business progresses, the locals of Crescent Beach begin to realize the effects Pandora's Box may be spreading. Children's toys become weapons, pets mutate into monsters, and the flow of time itself is corrupted in the nearby vicinity of the odious mall. Sebastian may be in over his head, but then so is the entire town of Crescent Beach. Sheriff Valerie Dunn is there to back up the morally bankrupt tour guide, but can they withstand the power-and temptation-of Pandora's Box? It's time to hit the mall; leave your psychological baggage at the door.
