What if you were hit with the realization that you were of royal lineage…to another realm? This is exactly what fourteen-year old Alexandra Stone has to face in the Young Adult fantasy novel ‘The Rock of Realm’. 
Alex, along with her friends Sarah, Butch, Pops and Jinx, learns the meaning of friendship and courage as they battle the dangerous elements that inhabit Dread’s Forest. Alex is determined to find answers and fight the man that has been the root of all evil in this adventure, her uncle, Dread. But has he? She will have to risk her safety and trust her instincts, torn between fear and love, when she is thrust alongside him to battle the Braks, skeletal creatures that project thorn-infested slime encasing their victim before plunging them deep within the caverns of the earth. Can family love defeat all evil? 
The Rock of Realm incorporates three learning elements – discovery friendship and courage. But the biggest lesson the Young Adult reader will absorb is that ‘things are not always as they appear to be’. 
The Rock of Realm will shatter the concept of ‘villain’.

Six murders are committed in ten months due to their unconscionable greed. On the east bank of the Channel at Lake Havasu sits many, varying shops that are built in the style of Charles Dickens Christmas Carole.

After extensive investigation and subterfuge, the cartel's warehouse is discovered spelling doomsday for the underworld. The good guys win, but not before a policeman is killed in the line of duty, a heart is broken by rejection, and betrayal looms over all.

Anyone who has vacationed in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, knows the Village of Ellenville, and no visit to Ellenville was complete without a stop in Cohen's Quality Bakery; "Home of the World Famous Raisin Pumpernickel". Cohen s Bakery owners Ruby and Reginia Cohen struggled together for over fifty years to build a lasting legacy for their grandchildren and financial security for themselves in their retirement years, yet it took only a handful of outsiders less than eighteen months to destroy everything they worked their entire lives to acquire. This is the true account of the events that lead to the near destruction of our family at the hands of my cousins, a court appointed guardian, and one of the most powerful Elder Law attorneys in South Florida. It is a story of determination, fortitude and of the victory which inspired the creation of the National Association To Stop Guardian Abuse.

I discovered that depression was just one aspect of a much larger problem: the way I was using my mind and body.  What I share is my understanding of what I have conquered and observed in my own mind. In the past I would have liked to think that my mind was unique, but understanding says, "No we are all pretty much the same." The only uniqueness is the singular drama of life that we have composed in our own minds.  This is usually where I would try and sound as impressive as verbally possible.  The truth is that I am just an average Joe with only a high school education. I won't pretend I am not insecure on some levels since I have no title, degree or awards to back up my observations and theory.  All I have is practical  experience from my own life.   Like everything I do, I am glad I did not choose this interest-it circumstantially chose me-for I have always been driven to find solutions to problems I encounter.  Like everything I create, I offer you what I believe is of the most value, with at least some elements of uniqueness of voice and perspective. But if you read this book with lower expectations, you are more likely to be pleasantly surprised.

Patrick O'Mally and Grace Johnson are a couple of senior citizen sleuths from New York City who have endeared themselves to readers around the world. Now they return in OLD HABITS DIE HARD: The Case of the Missing Mother Superior.  Sister Babs makes her first appearance in this Patrick and Grace Mystery. She is a hilarious psychic nun, who says, "My habit has a habit of its own"--a secret pocket sewn to the inside of her habit in which she hides a bottle of Drambuie, which she insists she uses "only for emergencies."  Sister Mary Margaret, who does not like Sister Babs in the least, shares "Oh, yes, they say she only gets a 'vision' when she's 'in the spirit.' I've seen her in action; it's when she's 'in HER spirits!'"  This one is so much fun that if I were a Catholic I might be afraid of being excommunicated! Of course, if you listen to the REAL news in the Church, this one seems pretty mild.

The whole country is at war with itself: Scotland against England. William Keith, the patriarch, is the wealthiest man in Scotland, but he desires only to be known as the kindest; John, his younger brother, is eager to fight for his country, even if his motives are a little questionable; and Robert, Williams oldest son, is off to battle, but his mothers only hope is that he finds a wife in the process. Even the most seemingly righteous families have some deep, dark hidden secrets. The Keith clan is no exception; some of them so deep and dark even the other Keith's don't know they exist. But they are privy to secrets of King Charles II himself.
