  Strangers, Lovers and the Winds of Time

  by

  Dale Lovin

  When a former prosecuting attorney in Los Angeles and a retired FBI agent in New Mexico are victims of brutal assaults, a window to the past is opened. Years earlier, the prosecutor and agent were responsible for the trial that led to the conviction of a white supremacist in the murder of a black man. The highly publicized court proceedings had thrust the abhorrent philosophies of supremacists beneath a glaring spotlight. Now, in the belief that their atrocities are divinely directed, purveyors of hate relentlessly track their victims in a campaign of revenge. Flashbacks to disturbing episodes of intolerance in our nation’s history lay the foundation as former FBI Agent Brad Walker encounters faces and voices from his past. Sprinkled with documented investigations into modern-day white supremacist crimes, dramatic action unfolds from the Southwest to the West Coast in a poignant reminder of the words of William Faulkner: “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

  by

  The Easter Egg Murder is loosely based on the real-life murder of Cricket Coogler in 1949 in southern New Mexico. The murderer was never brought to justice, although several men went to Federal prison for violating the civil rights of a suspect.

  OMG – That Woman!

  An anthology about women who perform miracles and a few for whom a miracle was needed to stop them

  Edited by

  Lynne Gregg and Roger Paulding

  From facing cancer to canoeing on an ice-chunk-filled tundra lake. From falling in love to being betrayed. From giving birth to facing death. These stories are about strong women (Is there any other kind?) in ordinary and extraordinary situations doing what they do best – understanding, coping, making it all better. The women in these stories – some fictional, some real – will make you laugh and cry, wonder and reflect. They may even make you wiser.
