Book excerpt: After leaving Warm Springs, Georgia, Cat Callahan and his human companion, Dax, have moved on to Alabama where Dax takes temporary work at New Hope Ranch. The horse ranch provides equine therapy and training for people with traumatic injuries—in body or mind. One of owner Avery Wilson’s goals, in honor of her missing brother, is to gain government approval for veterans who are dealing with PTSD and other conditions. And to get that approval, she needs Campbell Kirkland to inspect the operation. His decision will be crucial. When Camp arrives, he discovers Avery is dealing with a worse situation. Her ex, frustrated that the judge did not grant him a stake in the ranch in their divorce, seems to be behind a series of spiteful moves against her. It appears Eddie is deeply in debt to some dangerous thugs. Based on the evidence, Camp isn’t a hundred percent sure that Avery isn’t also in on it somehow. And Campbell himself seems to be hiding secrets, as well. Callahan, the big gray cat, is on the case once again, tracking the clues to figure out the truth behind all the human secrets and treachery. Will he put it all together before a terrible fate comes to Avery and her beloved horses? This story was previously published as Trouble in Summer Valley by Susan Y.

Book excerpt: Cat Callahan and Dax’s travels put them in North Carolina, where a Civil War Reenactment is setting up. Out at dinner with Dax, Callahan spots a beautiful young woman who’s had way too much to drink, and the wily Scottish Fold cat knows this evening might not end well. The sorrow in her eyes tells Callahan the alcohol she consumed had less to do with entertainment than an effort to forget. He decides to stick with her as a kindly man offers to see her back to her hotel. By morning, Wolf Stockton, off-duty U.S. Marshal, is at the county fairgrounds. He’s surprised to learn that the woman he escorted safely to her hotel the night before, Kylah West, is a professional stuntwoman, under contract to perform some of the trickier scenes in the battle. But one of the participants has been murdered. Callahan strolls into the mystery, discovering tension between the university sponsoring the reenactment and a Cherokee nation tired of being wrongly blamed for everything. As the lawman and the cat team up, big questions arise. Is the young victim’s death revenge, an accidental shooting, or a hint that opposing forces in the community are boiling over? Callahan needs to know who is behind the murder. And will Kylah be the next target?

Julia, of the wealthy Hampton banking family, is trying to slip out of her father’s overly protective grip and start her own private investigation firm, which is no easy task. When her office is ransacked and the big gray cat alerts her to the intruders, she can’t quite make the connection. Nothing was taken. What was it they wanted? Mitch Lawson, U.S. Marshal, is already on the trail of the missing art, a complex route that has brought him to Savannah and put him directly in the path of Julia’s own investigation. His protective instincts toward the Southern beauty instantly go on alert. Will they constantly butt heads or could it be possible to work together? Meanwhile, the wily Scottish Fold cat will follow the clues, and if this Southern lady knows what’s good for her, she’ll listen to what he has to say.

This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Callahan and Dax become separated when the big gray cat inadvertently hitches a ride eastbound with a lady barrel racer named Malone who’s off to her next pro rodeo competition. When Callahan jumped into her trailer, it was because he spotted a stowaway in need, a frightened young teen named Joss who doesn’t want to talk about her injuries. From the moment of their arrival in Georgia, Callahan knows the sparks will fly between Malone Summers and the rodeo’s Director of Operations, Cade Delaney. Those two have a history that somehow involved broken hearts. It’s clear to Callahan that Cade wants a second chance and Malone isn’t willing. But there are bigger things at stake when rodeo competitors start dying under suspicious circumstances. And what’s the story with Joss, who is clearly terrified that the person she ran away from will catch up with her. Callahan is determined to find out the answers, and he’s one cat who knows how to follow the clues and catch a killer.

This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cat Callahan. The big gray cat with the battered right ear isn’t exactly a stray, nor is he homeless, since the kind-hearted folks of Warm Springs, Georgia, willingly invite him in and slip him all the tender morsels he wants. He’s known by most as ‘that darn cat’ a feline who shows up whenever something unexplained happens. But Callahan doesn’t acquire his name until a drifter comes to town, a man named Benjamin Matthew Daxter, “Dax” for short—hobo by choice. And it’s within days after Dax shows up that the murders begin. Hannah Sanderson is assistant director of the Little White House museum, the property beloved by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the major tourist attraction in Warm Springs. When the body of a stranger shows up in the former servants’ quarters, Hannah’s job is two-fold. Assist with the investigation so the whole mess can be cleared up quickly, and protect her young daughter from the prying eyes of the press. Because there’s a secret hidden in her own past, and Hannah doesn’t want to relive the nightmare. As the deaths begin to escalate, law enforcement shows up from several jurisdictions. It’s beginning to look like the cases won’t be solved quietly, but Callahan knows how to be in the right place at the right time to gather clues and provide his own special brand of assistance. The cops may be a little slow on the uptake, at times, but Cat Callahan is on the case and plans to solve the murders before Hannah and her little girl can be harmed.

Download or read book In Pursuit of Love written by Rebecca Bender and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through her own gripping story of escape from human trafficking, Rebecca Bender reveals the inner workings of the underground world of modern-day slavery and helps us learn how we can be a catalyst for change where we live. Born and raised in a small Oregon town, all-American girl Rebecca Bender was a varsity athlete and honor roll student with a promising future. Then a predator pretending to be her boyfriend lured her into a web of lies that sent her down a path she never imagined possible. For nearly six years, Rebecca was sold across the underground world of sex trafficking in Las Vegas. She was branded, beaten, told when to sleep and what to wear, and traded between traffickers. Forced into a dark sisterhood, Rebecca formed bonds with her trafficker and three other women, creating a false sense of family. During that time, God began revealing himself to her. And in the midst of her exploitation, she found the hope she needed to survive. After a federal raid, Rebecca escaped. Her life was forever changed as she felt the embrace of her heavenly Father guiding her to healing and wholeness. Rebecca soon began to use her own experiences to change the lives of others as she went back into the darkest places she had known--assisting FBI, VICE, and law enforcement across the country in some of their most difficult cases. Through Rebecca's incredible story of redemption, we remember that our past does not have to determine our destiny.
