Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 Silver Falchion Award Nominee ​"He's first. You're next." That's the message someone scribbled on a photo of Stacy May Charms' six-year-old son, two days before her release from prison. Stacy knows why. She doesn't know who. And she's not waiting around to find out. Her plan is to grab her child and run. Elizabeth McClaine has no idea why Stacy ran, but she intends to find out. Contracted to oversee the governor’s early release program for young incarcerated mothers, she is responsible for the program’s first successful applicant. But when Stacy May breaks parole only two hours after her release, Elizabeth is flung into social and political exile, her reputation in ruins. If she is to clear her name and save Stacy May, she must figure out what Stacy knows, and who she’s running from. And all the clues point back to those who were supposed to be saving her. The Elizabeth McClaine thrillers are additions to the great action and character-driven mystery and suspense thrillers in the tradition of Lisa Regan, S. W. Hubbard, and Mary Stone. What readers are saying: "Blew me away." "I loved every page and couldn't wait to get to the next." "Excellent writing, riveting plot, and great attention to detail." A Word from the Author First of all, thank you for your interest in my books. You’ll find in many of my books, I include characters with intellectual or physical challenges. Added to this, I wanted to write twisty crime thrillers with complex characters and surprise endings, so I created the Elizabeth McClaine thriller series. So, who is Elizabeth McClaine? Elizabeth is a little different from the usual private detective or amateur sleuth. She’s a feisty, mature socialite with reputation and social standing, and a simmering attraction for Detective Lance Delaney, a man with his own secrets. The storylines involve kidnappings, heists, white-collar crime, and murders that will keep the pages turning onto the wee hours. What gives these stories heart? Real, believable characters from Elizabeth herself to Holly, the cherished only daughter born with Down syndrome. Having loved and cared for a disabled daughter myself, I know the joy and the challenges caring for and loving a disabled child can bring. Therefore, from book #1, Holly brings Elizabeth a real sense of purpose and a desire to help those in need. The books in the series are sequential, but each is a standalone, so you can read them out of order. The Elizabeth McClaine Series so far Includes: BOOK #1: THE CANDIDATE’S DAUGHTER BOOK #2: CHILD OF THE STATE BOOK #3 A STOLEN WOMAN THE ELIZABETH MCCLAINE BOX SET OF THRILLERS Standalone Titles by Catherine Lea LAST SEEN LEAVING – A THRILLER DROPPING DEAD IN DELBY RISH – A VERY BRITISH MURDER MYSTERY (Satire) THE CONTESTANT – A SERIAL KILLER THRILLER If you have any questions, you’ll find my page on Goodreads.

Book excerpt: You've never used a video guide like this before. You loved Chariots of Fire and you want to see something like it. Where do you start? Look up Chariots of Fire in the index, and find it in Drama. There you'll see it listed under White Flannel Films: Welcome to the glory days of the British empire when the ruling class rode horses on large country estates, servants were in plentiful supply, and only an adulterous lover questioned the status quo. As in other costume dramas, the period details are celebrations of all that was brilliant and luxurious, with the camera sweeping over British, Indian, or African countryscapes and exquisite turn-of-the-century interiors. But all this lush upholstery doesn't cover up the intelligent, thoughtful stories -- usually based on Lawrence, Forster, and Waugh novels -- played by stellar British actors. In White Flannel Films there are concise, witty reviews of select movies like A Room with a View A Passage to India Heat and Dust The Shooting Party Out of Africa White Mischief and more There is also a unique ratings system that helps you distinguish the bombs from the sleepers. But the key is that all these films offer the same kind of viewing experience -- if you like one, chances are good you'll like the others, too. Seen That, Now What? is your own personal video genius, who knows everything about movies and exactly what you like to watch.
