Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two church ladies, Sister Alberta Samms and Sister Luetta Johnson, live in a California suburb and want to rid their neighborhood of too many half way houses and too many men who practice deviant behavior. They zero in on pedophiles but they don't have much sympathy for wife beaters either. Samms and Johnson are widow women, who recruit an evangelist, a Peruvian nurse and a minister's wife, who join in the task of covertly helping to clean up Alberta and Luetta's neighborhood. With mother wit, uyrban English, an old blue Cadillac and several adventures, the band solves problems in unique ways to make the bad guys go away and make the neighborhood the safer place Samms and Johnson want it to be. From a wedding shower, to a cake baking session, from a trip to the beach on the coast, to a quick stop at a surfing beach on the bay, Sister Samms and Sister Johnson and their friends have one goal in mind, which the five handle as these issue have never been handled before. Sister Samms and Sister Johnson is as light as it is dark. History is learned, through stories they remember, hurt is experienced through those same memories, yet laughter is a mainstay throughout the novel. Samms and Johnson are funny but not cartoons - in the spirit of Agathie Christie's Miss Marpel, and Donald Bain's J. B. Fletcher, of Murder, She Wrote, Samms and Johnson, arent, but are detectives. They solve mysteries of sorts in a vigilante mode. The two widows break the law, but they do it in a loving "Christian" manner. Women sympathize with Samms and Johnson. Men put their fingers in their ears and have been known to squirm when being told about or after reading Sister Samms and Sister Johnson - Vigilantes.

Book excerpt: Devid Khandelwal desperately wants to experience the supernatural. After years of studying everything from crystals to tarot to spellcasting, nothing has happened that would tell him the Shadow Realm is real. And that kills Dev. As a last-ditch resort, he purchases a summoning board, an occult tool that will grant him his ultimate desires. Cameron Habersham is Dev’s best friend. Cam loves Dev like a brother and will do anything for him, as long as he looks good doing it. So when Dev asks him to perform the summoning board’s ritual, he reluctantly agrees, but he knows nothing will come of it. Nothing ever does. However, within a day, Dev and Cam’s lives are turned upside down as wishes begin to come true. They discover the existence of a supernatural world beyond their imagination, but peace between the species is tenuous at best. Dev finally gets to see the Shadow Realm, meets the man of his dreams, and is inducted into the local male coven. But for all the desires that were summoned into existence, Dev soon realizes the magical community dances the line between good and evil, and Cam ends up on the wrong side of everything. The old adage is true: Be careful what you wish for.

But their bliss was cut short when Farrah was diagnosed with cancer and passed away just three years later. Ryan’s deep love for Farrah and his devotion to preserving her memory are evident in Both of Us. Drawing on decades’ worth of personal records and keepsakes, he has included never-before-seen photographs, letters exchanged between him and Farrah, and his own diaries, making this a poignant and compelling memento for her fans.
