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.

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?

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?

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would have dreamed that a one-day calf show would evolve into a top-five professional rodeo that raises millions of dollars for education? From its beginnings as a tiny 4-H event to its current role as one of Austin’s largest charities, the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo has grown in both size and purpose in the past seventy-five years. Here, Liz Carmack tells the story of Rodeo Austin, a nonprofit enterprise whose face reflects its agricultural heritage but whose scholarship program is at the heart of its mission. Since 1981, when organizers became fully committed to providing college scholarships, millions of dollars have been raised through a year-long fundraising effort including a sporting clay tournament, golf tournament, wine tasting and gala. The year culminates in March with the organization’s signature event known as Rodeo Austin - sixteen days of non-stop events, including a livestock show, fair, rodeo, and concerts. Over the years, dedication and hard work, an ever expanding cast of participants and volunteers, many benefactors, and changes in name and venue have served the organization well. In 2011, the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo welcomed more than 300,000 attendees and awarded $442,000 in college scholarships plus more than $1.5 million in additional funds to Texas youth. Fans of rodeo everywhere, and especially anyone who has attended Rodeo Austin—“Where Weird Meets Western”—will come away from Rodeo Austin: Blue Ribbons, Buckin' Broncs, and Big Dreams with a new appreciation of the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo and its dual mission of promoting youth education and preserving Western heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians are called to minister to people in prison.

This book provides a brief historical perspective that orients the reader and a discussion, mainly in the words of people with real experience, of what prisons and prisoners are really like and why the need for ministry is so great. It then explores the biblical charge for Christians to meet these needs and discusses ways in which they can do so. Love in a Cauldron of Misery is an invaluable resource for any pastor, teacher, or lay-person who is participating in, considering, or just wants to know more about prison ministry.

Book excerpt: Dax and Callahan have drifted south now, Dax working on a small construction project for the owner of the Paradise Bed & Breakfast in Key West, while Callahan makes himself at home, scrounging the occasional gourmet fish dinner and chumming around with the island’s Hemingway cats. But trouble soon shows up when Ginger Browne, the inn’s owner, discovers that a guest has perished in their nicest suite. Liberty Anderson was a pretty young woman with plenty of money and the urge to party, and one of the men she approached in a local bar the night of her death just happened to be Trout Richardson, owner of a struggling boat charter business and Ginger’s friend. Within a short time, most of the other guests have vacated the B&B, leaving Ginger to worry about the bills and about Trout’s involvement with the dead woman. The police aren’t looking at any of the really important clues, Callahan thinks, after his preliminary examination of the body and the contents of the victim’s purse. And Trout seems unusually wary of having cops asking questions of him. Will Callahan be able to find out what really happened and restore Ginger’s business before the posturing local police detective bungles the case entirely, and could it be true that there’s a spy in their midst?
