This is the revised and updated edition. In the intervening years since this series first debuted, I wrote another thirty books. When I looked over the pages of the original books, I realized that I like how I write now better. PLUS technology (ie cell phones, etc) has changed so much that these books needed sprucing up. Besides when an author writes a story, it feels like her child. And I want my "children" to look their best as I send them out into the reading world once more. So I hope you'll enjoy these books in their second improved edition. Caront reviewed Winter's Secret (Northern Intrigue #1) A fun read!

Everything was woven together beautifully and could only have been done so by someone who had actually lived through similar experiences in the courtroom.”—pennyterk.com“Move over John Grisham!”—Denton A. Cooley, MD, world-renowned pioneer heart surgeon“Seldom does a first effort at courtroom fiction find itself in the class of such notables as Inherit the Wind, The Verdict, and The Rainmaker.

    Born and brought up on the tough streets of Chicago, Billy is familiar with the hard and seedy side of life in the big city, where only the strong survive and it is a good idea to be able to terminate a disagreement with your fists. But in 'The Mucker' our hero is about to leave his familiar territory and take off on an adventure across the globe which will bring him up against a lost colony of Japanese Samurai warriors. In the second novel of this collection, 'The Return of the Mucker', Byrne finds himself in further scrapes in revolutionary Mexico whilst the third story, 'The Oakdale Affair' features our hero as a supporting character in an adventure featuring the Oskaloosa Kid. The Mucker stories are considered by many critics to be some of their author's finest writing. Certainly he identified strongly with his principal character, and this provides an authenticity to tales which will satisfy Edgar Rice Burroughs fans with their customary and generous helpings of adventure, action, hairsbreadth escapes and the rescuing of pretty girls. A must for all ERB collectors-all the Mucker stories in one volume-available from Leonaur in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.

    She's a stone cold killer zombie from outer space." Thursday's Child is a unique novel, a romance that blows romantic conventions sky-high - as much literary fiction as romance, The story is set in Manhattan at the end of the 1980's, amid the dynamic worlds of high finance, publishing houses, major law firms, and the burgeoning hiigh tech industry. The Thursday's Child who lies at its heart, Adele Jansen, has (in the words of the old rhyme about birthdays) far to go. Gifted, ambitious, and determined, she takes one step off the career track for an impromptu excursion with a man as fascinating as he is mysterious. But that one small step draws her gradually into an oddyssey. The core of the story is a heroic and intimate love story that provides all of the satisfactions of a typical romance. The materials of the narrative are contemporary, even commonplace. But the breadth of Adele's experiences, the intensity of her reflections upon them, and the scope of realistic detail in which the story is grounded, give the narrative a power and authority that is rare in any novel. Ultimately, her journey takes on epic, mythical undertones, the exact nature of which is not revealed until the final chapters. The result is a novel of genuine strength and authenticity, populated with vivid and unforgettable characters, and offering a fully immersive reading experience.

John Dizon ranks up there with the best." - Jason Peterman, Amazon review

    Jon G. Allen offers compassionate and practical guidance to understanding trauma and its effects on the self and relationships. "Coping With Trauma" is based on more than a decade of Dr. Allen's experience conducting educational groups for persons struggling with psychiatric disorders stemming from trauma. Written for a general audience, this book does not require a background in psychology. Readers will gain essential knowledge to embark on the process of healing from the complex wounds of trauma, along with a guide to current treatment approaches.In this supportive and informative work, readers will be introduced to and encouraged in the process of healing by an author who is both witness and guide. This clearly written, insightful book not only teaches clinicians about trauma but also, equally important, teaches clinicians how to educate their patients about trauma.Reshaped by recent developments in attachment theory, including the importance of cumulative stress over a lifetime, this compelling work retains the author's initial focus on attachment as he looks at trauma from two perspectives. From the "psychological perspective," the author discusses the impact of trauma on emotion, memory, the self, and relationships, incorporating research from neuroscience to argue that trauma is a physical illness. From the "psychiatric perspective," the author discusses various trauma-related disorders and symptoms: depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and dissociative disorders, along with a range of self-destructive behaviors to which trauma can make a contribution.Important updates include substantive and practical information on - Emotion and emotion regulation, prompted by extensive contemporary research on emotion--which is becoming a science unto itself. - Illness, based on current developments in the neurobiological understanding of trauma. - Depression, a pervasive trauma-related problem that poses a number of catch-22s for recovery. - Various forms of self-destructiveness--substance abuse, eating disorders, and deliberate self-harm--all construed as coping strategies that backfire. - Suicidal states and self-defeating aspects of personality disorders.The author addresses the challenges of healing by reviewing strategies of emotion regulation as well as a wide range of sound treatment approaches. He concludes with a new chapter on the foundation of all healing: maintaining hope.This exceptionally comprehensive overview of a wide range of traumatic experiences, written in nontechnical language with extensive references to both classic and contemporary theoretical, clinical, and research literature, offers a uniquely useful guide for victims of trauma, their family members, and mental health care professionals alike.

    And yet from the Bronze Age through the twentieth century, the islands have attracted an astonishing cast of saints and scoundrels, soldiers and politicians.The site of a beautiful medieval monastery—once home to one of the greatest libraries of eastern Europe—Solovki became in the twentieth century a notorious labor camp. Roy Robson recounts the history of Solovki from its first settlers through the present day, as the history of Russia plays out on this miniature stage. In the 1600s, the piety and prosperity of Solovki turned to religious rebellion, siege, and massacre. Peter the Great then used it as a prison. But Solovki’s glory was renewed in the nineteenth century as it became a major pilgrimage site—only to descend again into horror when the islands became, in the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the “mother of the Gulag” system.From its first intrepid visitors through the blood-soaked twentieth century, Solovki—like Russia itself—has been a site of both glorious achievement and profound misery.

    In addition to his lectures about ancient weapons and his demonstrations of their use, Hutton created this 1889 classic, a continuing source of instruction and enlightenment to modern readers.The techniques associated with the sabre differ markedly from those of the épeé and the rapier. This study offers both technical and historical views of the art of the sabre. It begins with a look at the weapon's construction and its grip, followed by explanations of a variety of different strokes and parries as well as methods of combining attack and defense. Additional topics include approaches suitable for left-handed fencers, ceremonial aspects of the art, and contrasts between the sabre, the bayonet, and the French sword. Descriptions of associated weapons cover the great stick and the constable's truncheon, and the book concludes with considerations of the short sword-bayonet, or dagger. Fifty-five illustrations demonstrate how to hold the sabre, how to parry and guard, seizure, and numerous other aspects of the art of fencing with a sabre.

Bush, is explored in texts devoted to such issues as the international trade in arms and oil, the war on terrorism, 9/11, the FBI and CIA, and Congress's oversight of the intelligence community. For the most part, the installation's text has been taken verbatim from U.S. government documents--many of which were classified at the time they were written. Under the landmark Freedom of Information Act passed in 1966, all are now public record, though some remain heavily redacted.
