Considering
SomeplacElse

B.L.Lindstrom
Amazon e-book
Kindle Edition

At the turn of this century, a homeless man was allowed to win the lottery. It was hoped that he would change the world for the better, forever. Twelve years later, chronically under-employed baby boomer Norm Larson is looking for work but finds himself at the heart of SomeplacElse, the now massive, utopian experiment founded by the luck of the draw. But billionaire playboy Adam Wainwright is riding his charmed life into the Arizona Governor’s mansion and plans to run “those Godless Commie Elsewhere people” out of His country. In the end, fate, free will and the natural order of fhings must come together to determine the future of this earthly eden. Revelations are made, beliefs are challenged and you are invited to render your judgment after Considering SomeplacElse.


PARAWORLD ZERO
Matthew Peterson
Published by Blue Works, an imprint of Windstorm Creative
 

Simon Kent is just an ordinary 12-year old trying to cope with the loss of his parents and the bullies at school... or so he thinks. After meeting an outspoken girl with strange hair that changes colors with her mood, he is swept into a futuristic world filled with dragonlike creatures, vast technology, and enslaved giants.
“Murderous villains, mighty warriors, goddess-like women, impossible problems and some of the wildest chases since the Keystone Kops. Truly original... Read it. Trust me.”
-- Douglas Hill, bestselling author of nearly 70 books

Desert Cut
A Lena Jones Mystery
Betty Webb
The Poisoned Pen Press
February 2008

While scouting locations for a film documentary on Arizona’s Apache Wars, P.I. Lena Jones
and Oscar-winning director Warren Quinn discover the body of a young Somali girl. The gruesome manner of the child’s death evokes memories of Lena’s own rough childhood.
    In DESERT CUT, the still-vivid memory of Geronimo’s war mixes with the modern
immigration war; the hard life on the Arizona-Mexico border contrasts with Hollywood’s slick
production meetings; and the cruelty of an ancient practice is tempered by a growing
underground railroad fighting to save its young victims.
