Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pamela Cuming is thirty-four years old when her husband dies of a heart attack. With Bill's death, she loses not only a husband and best friend but her business partner as well. She must rebuild her life, raise two children, and run the consulting firm she and Bill once co-managed. But first she must face the fact that she is a widow. To her credit, Pamela Cuming is a take-charge kind of woman. However, in reality, she rides an emotional roller coaster-one moment soaring with pleasure over her own independence and insight; the next moment plunging into terror over her loss and feelings of inadequacy. Pamela Cuming traces her first year's journey through the fears and frustrations of widowhood; her own angry despair; her children's grief; and the necessity of coping with all the chores her husband once handled-getting the car fixed, painting the house, taking over the adminsitrative end of their business. She speaks about an anxiety she cannot always control, the fear of sleeping in "their" bed, the depression of holidays and anniversaries, and the overwhelming sense of being alone. Yet somewhow she does begin to set things right and to redefine her personal boundaries. At the end of the first year without her husband, Pamela Cuming is a significantly different person. Her values and priorities have been aired and reorganized, and her individuality has been acknowledged and remains intact. Widow's Walk is a bold, brave, and candid admission of bereavement, weakness, and ultimately, strangth. It tells a story that is as relevant to widows and widowers today as it was in 1979 when she experienced her loss. In some respects, that was a very different time. There were smoking sections in airplanes, often separated from the non-smoking sections by only an aisle. It was customary to order cocktails at lunch. There were no cellphones. Personal computers were still on the drawing board. She wrote Widow's Walk on a Smith Corona typewriter. It was a different time, and yet the emotions she felt back then when her husband's heart stopped beating were the same as any widow or widower feels today. Then and now, widowhood feels like walking through the land of the shadows. The world is blurry. Normal conversation about mundane subjects is strained and tedious. Time moves slowly. The days are endless and the nights are even longer. You struggle to reach through the shadows and grasp something real, but there is nothing there. Emerging from the land of the shadows is the awful challenge that all widows and widowers face. Widow's Walk sheds light on how to navigate that dark path. The first edition of Widow's Walk was published in 1981. The second edition includes a preface and an epilogue, and has been edited to make the book more readable.

This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan and Elaine Mahoney are finally settled in St. Augustine, Florida, and Elaine has her brand new private investigator’s license, plus a job offer with a prestigious law firm. So, it’s with some excitement that she talks to her first client, a young man whose mother recently died. Rick Elliston is convinced that her fall from the fourth floor widow’s walk of their luxurious home was not suicide, as the police seem to think. He's convinced that his step-father pushed her. There was a big insurance policy. Elaine’s challenge is to find the evidence, and the only problem is that there is none. Dan, meanwhile, has been sent out to look over a sailing schooner that his company, United Life & Casualty has insured, and it turns out the owner of the business that offers sunset tourist cruises, is none other than Hank Beaufort, step-father of Elaine’s client. And Dan really likes the guy—he just doesn’t seem like a man who would kill his wife. At first. As both of them dig into their cases, a whole new set of facts come out. There was marital straying, the luxury mansion was mortgaged to the hilt, and Hank needs money for his newest business scheme. It’s a tangled web indeed, complicated by the inescapable fact that a hurricane is bearing down on the Florida coast. Can Dan and Elaine figure it out before the storm makes their jobs that much harder? Praise for Susan Slater’s Dan Mahoney series: “Dan Mahoney is an appealingly resilient character, a welcome addition to the roster of sleuths that make the Southwest a hotbed of current mystery fiction.” —Publishers Weekly “Flash Flood is just what it sounds like—a fresh, surprising, adrenaline-rush whitewater ride. It’s also funny. Susan Slater can flat-out write.” —Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel “There’ll be much, much more, with whispers of everything before Slater closes out this lively, surprising case, first of a series.” – Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: In the early days of the American Pacific Northwest, small settlements dot the wilds of streams and dense woods. Isaac Evers, a community leader and former militiaman, has established a small colony on Whidbey Island. Though the area appears calmer than in the past, the northern indigenous clans still threaten the livelihood of Isaac's growing family. While Isaac is away on expeditions, his wife Emmy tends to the many duties required of a property owner on Whidbey Island. Bold and assertive, Emmy has little time for the restraint of social mores. But as times on the island become more turbulent, her constitution and conviction are tested. Elsewhere, Haida native Anah-nawitka feels the rush of his first kill and the satisfying vengeance cast from his hand to the head of the invading white colonists. Basking in the praise from his tribemates, Anah starts down a violent path that will alter a great many lives. Meanwhile, the British and the U.S. Army are quietly grinding against each other following a boundary dispute, leaving men like Captain George Edward Pickett in a tight situation. In charge of the nearby Union fort, Pickett does his best to maintain his authority while he struggles with tragic events in his past. Weaving these story threads together into a powerful whole, Gerard LaSalle tells the story of an unforgettable American adventure.
