Book Description
The body of Elizabth Hanlon, controversial Dean of Girls at Kennedy High School, is discovered in the boiler room of the girls' gymnasium. Her murder casts a pall over the waning days of the school semester. The eight teachers in the girls' Physical Educ-ation department are the primary suspects. Each has had a serious run-in with Dean Hanlon due to a severe clash with her philoso-phical approach to education, and each admits to disliking the woman, her attitude and her disciplinary methods. Teri Hunter, popular tennis instructor, has been extremely outspoken in condemning the dean's antiquated methods in dealing with the problems of high school students of the nineties. Her passionate concern for the rights of students frequently places her in a contentious position with the school'd administrators. When the murder weapon, a tennis racket, is found in her locker, she becomes the prime suspect. Marty Arnold, young dance teacher who discovered the body, is another suspect. She's been on the dean's shit list for opening the dance studio for special practices on week-ends and for refusing to search students' lockers for contraband. Marty was heard having a violent argument with Dean Hanlon the day prior to the murder. Teacher Pat Masterson was conducting a class in the swimming pool right next to the boiler room where the crime took place. The swim teacher is high on the list of suspects as the dean was high- ly critical of Pat's living arrangement with her fiance, and Pat had had numerous arguments with her. Adie Ames, gymnastics coach and rumored lesbian, and Erin Dempsey, her black partner, were constantly harassed by the dean who left religious tracts in Adie's school mailbox and nasty messages on the couple's phone machine. The police discover that the two were involved in a furious fight in a Santa Rosa gay women's bar and are capable of violent actions. Teacher Susan Patrick claims not to have been on campus at the time of the murder. She will have to prove this to the satisfaction of the investigating officers, for they have learned that she was in the dean's doghouse due to her lack of cooperation with many of the dean's pet projects, and she's incensed the old timers on the staff for discovering and exposing the existence of a department slush fund supported by illegally charging students for services. Barb Clark, the other dance teacher, who coordinates student productions between the music, drama and dance departments, is another suspect. The dean accused her of questionable and inap-propriate behavior for conducting private, extracurricular sessions with the handsome male student lead in the school's current prod-uction of 'Carousel'. Thelma Hendricks, middle-aged and overweight member of the department, is another faculty member with a grievance towards the dean. She was unfairly accused of embezzling Athletic Club funds. In addition, the dean continually criticized her for the actions ofher daughter, Candy, a school drop-out, who has run off with a local drug pusher. Sharon Garrett, the Chairman of the Department and the dean's best buddy, appears to be the one teacher above suspicion. They had similar philosophical approaches to the problems at Kennedy High School. During the course of their investigation, however, police officers Jim Collins and Harry Leonard uncover a torrid love affair going on between Sharon and a young male English teacher--certain to have been disapproved by the narrow minded dean. Other possible suspects include a maintenance worker fired for exposing himself to girls on the tennis courts; an irate father whose daughter was injured in a gymnastic accident; a male stu- dent arrested on campus for selling pornographic photos of his girl friend; the leader of a gang whose girl friend was benched by the dean and not permitted to play in a championship basketball game; the local school drug supplier; an outstan

Book Description
The words contained within this body of work were strung together to tell a tale of greed, lust, selfish indulgence, the unbearable weight of a broken spirit, and the triumph and sorrow gained from placing too much faith in the proverbial human heart. Things happen. Some good. Some bad. The difference between the two lying completely within the realm of the moral compass of each individual bearing witness to this particular piece. The only other elaboration Ill offer is that it involves a young man named Curtis Winslow; the ruffian who first made his presence known within the pages of Jasmines Tears and continued to remain a dominant figure within the confines of a book entitled The Redemption of Crestwood Heights. He is by no means alone in this current literary rendition of his life thats taking place at a point on a timeline quite some distance before his appearance in Jasmines Tears. The temptress Amy Bradshaw is present to wreak her own brand of havoc in his life along with the likes of Teri Neilson, April Fletcher, and many others. The trip; one of drug induced debauchery. The journey; one of self examination and realization. If you want, read it. If not, leave it where you found it. Surely the content of these passages arent worth any undo grief or unwarranted interruptions of the natural order of things, granted they just might have a tendency to do both.

Book Description
"For ten years, Alexandra 'Cat' Rucker has been on the run from her past. With an endless supply of bourbon and a series of meaningless jobs, Cat is struggling to forget her Ohio hometown and the rural farmhouse she once called home. But a sudden call from an old neighbor forces Cat to return to the home and family she never intended to see again. It seems that Cat's mother is dead. What Cat finds at the old farmhouse is disturbing and confusing: a suicide note, written on lilac stationery and neatly sealed in a ziplock bag, that reads: 'Cat, He isn't who you think he is. Mom xxxooo' One note, ten words--one for every year she has been gone--completely turns Cat's world upside down. Seeking to unravel the mystery of her mother's death, Cat must confront her past to discover who 'he' might be: her tyrannical, abusive father, now in a coma after suffering a stroke? Her brother, Jared, named after her mother's true love (who is also her father's best friend)? The town coroner, Andrew Reilly, who seems to have known Cat's mother long before she landed on a slab in his morgue? Or Addison Watkins, Cat's first and only love? The closer Cat gets to the truth, the harder it is for her to repress the memory and the impact of the events that sent her away so many years ago" -- Publisher's description.

Book Description
Alberto Tomasi and Giovanni Beltrame were... Childhood sweethearts who’d vowed to always be together. Men adored by their cousins and revered by their siblings. Internationally acclaimed classical musicians. Mafia heirs who’d do anything to protect their family. And they were two men who simply wanted to get married... Except for that to happen, the marriage laws needed to change, and they need to convince the priest at their family’s church to marry them. It was only fair after all... their parents, grandparents had been married in that church. At least that’s what Alberto and Giovanni thought, and not even the reluctance of the priest to perform the ceremony would stop them... because in the end they wouldn’t give him a choice. But the Church’s dogma wasn’t the only obstacle in the way of Alberto and Giovanni getting the wedding they wanted with an unknown enemy continuing to dog their every step. Until Death can be read as a standalone book but will be best enjoyed when read in conjunction with at least Rough Sketches (House of Bolton 3). It is a 56k MM Mafia Romance featuring two lovable childhood sweethearts who love performing classical music as much as they do taking out their family’s enemies.
