Based on Bill McDaniel's experiences as the Mole on the reality TV series The Mole II. Using extensive notes taken during the show, he brings a unique perspective and timeline of events including never before released contestant interactions and behind the scenes subterfuge. He seamlessly blends the way the producers and fellow contestants used different strategies including what they thought and WHY they acted the way they did with what was actually seen by the viewers on the hit television show. Bill is a medical doctor and retired Rear Admiral, a career he confesses did NOT prepare him for the future job of misleading and sabotaging people. His writing style is witty, cogent and humorous, and maintains the mounting tension while the show is unfolding. The book also includes chapters on his growing up in rural Oklahoma, and how his family, friends and events during that time influenced his strategies on The Mole II. REVIEWS have read 100 pages of Reflections of the Mole. It is a fine book. I would like to take it on the whole before I talk to you about it but there are several things I can say now from a critical viewpoint. It has style. You have style. Your writing in this book is conversationally you. Anyone who knows you will feel like they are having a talk with you. Your writing, like your conversation is lifted with a soft, not cynical, sense of mirth that does buoy a person's spirit. Your narratives have a common characteristic that makes them literary and that is the revelation of the human condition. I believe that it's not what you or someone else saw, where you went or what you did that makes a great book, it's how you feel about it: the emotional content, the hopes, the fears, the struggles to make sense and sensibility out of an uncertain world, that's the important thing. You beautifully illustrate your perspective born out of your life's experience. As someone moves through the book, they get to know you and that gives them a reason to pick up the book again. What will happen? How will he handle it? How does he feel about? The other characters in your book are real or important to us when you tell us how they feel, otherwise they are props on the stage of life. Your sensitivity towards them and their perspective is a good thing. I have only very limited negative criticism for your book. I do believe that a book needs to be allowed to stand on its own legs. It works or it doesn't depending on the strength of its successes, not the triviality of supposed shortcomings. Your book works, in fact, it supersedes expectations. The book is marvelous, so much better than it has to be. When I finish it, we might talk about some things that I think you might have done differently or that you might reconsider. I would only be willing to share this kind of dialog with you because I believe that your readers, who have gotten to know you now, are going to want to see another book. So do I. --Librarian Bill the book was wonderful I cant say enough good things about it. I stayed up all night reading it because I couldn't put it down. I think I even read it all faster than Heather did lol. If anyone is at all questioning if its worth it it is beyond worth it. I am going to talk up the book to my friends so they get copies. I'll check back in here again later. Again loved the book &amp; wish you all the best in sales." --Fan from the web site Just wanted to let you know that I just finished the book, and it was just spectacular. I was amazed at the lack of assistance you received from the producers (I thought from the Mole I that the producers had a more active role). I was even more surprised at your initial lack of confidence, because you certainly played the part well, I had no idea until towards the end that it might have been you. But what a great look at what went on behind the scenes! Excellent book! --Email to Author

George Wallace: An Enigma: The Complex Life of Alabama's Most Divisive and Controversial Governor

Palmer has created a uniquely Southern style in telling this story without losing the truth of Wallace’s many moral and political contradictions that made him the ultimate prodigal son of politics in the deep South. Patrick Miller, President, Southeastern Literary Tourism Initiative I couldn't stop reading. It's riveting. I had to ask myself why I didn't know how much Wallace accomplished in the state legislature... during those turbulent times. It's amazing. Nolan White, Assistant Editor, Great Days Outdoors Magazine Who is this man George Wallace that the media has consistently portrayed as the modern equivalent of Adolph Hitler? Author Mary Palmer has done a meticulous job of peeling back the layers of this complex man. Jody Conrad, Adjunct English Instructor, Faulkner University Author Mary Palmer takes us into the tumultuous political scene of George Wallace. George Wallace: An Enigma reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly, of one of the most controversial politicians of our time... and how his views evolved over time Cindy Ingram, Director of Satsuma Public Library Governor George Wallace was a complex man who passionately attempted to retain white supremacy in the South. Even after an attempted assassination confined him to a wheelchair, he didn’t waver in pursuing his controversial goals. Did he achieve a temporary measure of success, or did his fight for integration under the guise of States Rights have an ironic result? Author Mary S. Palmer had exclusive access to interview George Wallace shortly before the end of his life at his home--one of the last interviews he granted. Using her journalistic skills, she delved deep into matters previously not privy to the public. It may have been the most revealing interview ever conducted by friend or foe.

The Crusaders

The 1960’s were more than unique; they were without parallel.
From rock and roll to the space program, drugs to free love, the Vietnam War to civil rights, equality for women to the assassinations of beloved leaders, they forever changed an entire generation.
The Crusaders is a collection of stories... that ignores most of that.
Instead, it’s about a group of friends who grew up in a bedroom community near Los Angeles, California, during those tumultuous and seminal times.
From the innocence of pubescent naiveté to the experimenting of curious minds, these tales take the reader through the 60’s from The Crusaders youthful point of view with warmth, humor and good-natured fun.
The Crusaders both celebrates the 60’s and exposes the unintended consequences that resulted as they slipped deeper into the uncharted waters of the times.
 And how they paid dearly for their actions.
At its heart, The Crusaders is about the friendship, loyalty and love for each other that anchored and enabled them to get through those chaotic times to the other side of healing.

The first in a series of books of The Seekers.
Archeoelogical adventures that involve a group of people seqarching the world for clues.
This is an astounding book that follows four intrepid adventurers as they uncover clues to the world's mysteries contained i the ancient archeiological sites around the workl.

Lost Tomb of Alexander

This book could be more aptly subtitled, How I solved a 120- year-old cold case murder mystery. The ultimate truth surrounding Jesse James' secret life can finally be revealed. Although the previous Wikipedia blurb encapsulates what is widely written on the subject, it is far from reality. In spite of the secretive life he led, there are numerous pieces of the puzzle that speak volumes about Jesse James. The clues came in various forms. Once enough information was amassed, I was able to process it down to a new and clear understanding of the man and his motives. What emerged was the picture of someone completely misunderstood by history. This research project became both a lesson on investigative techniques and an amazing personal adventure. I followed the evidence even when the trail seemed contrary to the existing facts. Suddenly, new clues would emerge that put me back on track. Just when I thought the mystery was solved, another deeper story would come to light. It has truly been a life changing experience. And it appears that I am as yet, still only at the beginning. My hope for this book is that the story will finally get out to the public and the truth will prevail. My hope for the reader is that they enjoy the adventure...and that it may inspire others to inquire.
