DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn the edge of the Navajo Nation, rookie paralegal Naomi Manymules pauses on a lakeside cliff top to enjoy a moonlit moment. She hears someone swimming in the darkness far below her, and a boat drifts out of the shadows. When she glimpses something that might be a naked butt shining in the moonlight, she decides to head for home. Only later does she discover that what she'd seen was the bare behind of a murdered sleaze. His passing upsets exactly no one, but, unfortunately, his wife can offer only a coyote for an alibi. The police aren't inclined to look much further for a suspect, so that leaves Naomi and her new boss, attorney Grant Carson, to do the looking. All they have to do is navigate the steady stream of likely culprits who show up in the office--surly teenagers, prominent locals, a good-looking loser worried about his dog, a mobster or two--and become targets themselves. Naomi Manymules is bluffing her way into a new paralegal career for which she is not entirely qualified. Luckily, she's smart and feisty and has lived in Sage Landing all her life, so she knows just about everything that goes on here on the western edge of the Navajo Nation. She's also got some training and a lot of motivation; as a divorced, thirty-something mom of two, she needs a steady job and wants a stable career. Grant Carson is middle-aged, cynical, and handsomely scruffy. He's a reluctant attorney, a tough ex-prosecutor from Phoenix who has escaped to a remote lakeside town to practice just enough law to augment his small pension. Since arriving in Sage Landing, he's kept company with some attractive women, but the real passion of his life is his old yacht, the Deep Inn.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI’m known to the Hollywood elite as The Fixer. Others refer to me as a Sin Eater. Whatever they call me, people know my name. Some even talk about me as this mythical creature who can make miracles happen, provided those miracles are unethical and usually illegal. But I don’t have a unique skill set. I’m merely a man in possession of a broken moral compass. I won’t apologize for who I am. The world I live in made me this way. The people who abandoned me set me in motion. And the system that failed me molded me. That doesn’t mean I don’t know the difference between right and wrong. When the daughter of one of Hollywood’s shining stars is kidnapped, I make it my mission to find her. And I do. But don’t mistake me for the hero. I knew she would be taken, and I did nothing to stop it. Years later, that girl is now a woman, and her mother once again needs me to make a problem go away. When she calls, I answer. Right time? Right place? No. It’s been my plan all along. This is a standalone menage romance with a morally challenged anti-hero, a man who thinks he owes Rule his life, and a beautiful artist who decides two sinfully sexy men are definitely better than one.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLarry learned early on that a mans hand-shake is his bond. To this day he retains that bond as well as one of honesty and compassion for others in all his dealings. Most men are honest, but at times ambition or greed can influence the best of intentions. Although Larry had a humble beginning, he rose above it to become a very successful man and was able to change dysfunctional living practices with his own family. He instilled love, honesty and respect in their upbringing all the while exhibiting patience and understanding. His greatest love is for God, his family, friends and nature. That love has been an inspiration in the writing of both Poetic Expressions and now his autobiography. Larry also managed to take time out of his busy schedule to work with other kids as noted by all his years of coaching baseball and never missing any event that they were involved in, even if he had to leave work early. His love of nature is unequalled. Larrys descriptions have the ability to take you there. Sometimes that love of nature has resulted in butting heads with preservationists as to timberland and renewable resources. This is especially so with them filing lawsuits to stop burnt and diseased timber harvesting. A sense of humor didnt pass him by either as noted in his autobiography again and again, as he says, a man without mirth is akin to a horse without hooves. For both must tread lightly upon the rocky roads of life. To sum it up Larry quotes an unknown author, the rigors of senior years may prove to be very challenging Have we put up a good fight throughout or is it the confusion of genes and how they are inherited to blame?
