Motivated to overcome her situation, she persuades her therapist to supply her with female enhancement pills, which has an immediate effect on her spirits, as well, she is able to see and interact with ghosts from her past. With renewed vigor, she enters a sommelier competition where she meets and falls madly in love with one of her competitors. But it is short lived as her new love interest is murdered. Marty is framed for the crime. Her life begins to unravel as she goes on trial. Albeit, the ghosts are there to lend support and entertain her through the process.

Deadly Essence is the second book of A Murder in the Kitchen series where the story continues with Marty who journeys from the Hawaiian shores of Maui to Coastal Southern France in search of more than just new business opportunities. Through her exploits and a subconscious desire of self-discovery, she finds herself in precarious situations, as if trouble seems to follow her wherever she goes. At a chef awards show, Marty meets two women chefs who invite her to their restaurant. Friendships do not always begin for the same reasons, as Marty is taken captive and held for ransom by the two chefs. They take her to a private island and is left in the hands of a cohort who has multi-personalities. In the meantime, Marty's husband, John hires a private detective to help secure Marty’s release, yet Marty manages to escape the island after two of her captives fortuitously die. Marty is subsequently charged with murdering them and goes on the run. Ultimately, she flees France on a Portuguese cargo ship as a cook. While on the ship she is accosted by a few of the crew members. She takes revenge by poisoning each member of the ship and then sinking it. She winds up in New Orleans where the surviving captor tracks her down. Marty falls prey to the captor who gets Marty hooked on opium—it's a ploy. Enter John and the private detective to save the day. But, as a result of Marty going over a psychological cliff with being held captive and drugged, Marty slips into a schizophrenic state.

From the preface: This book looks at virtue as "the power to do good" from the theological, philosophical, and poetic perspective. From a theological perspective: Long ago, Anselm defined theology as "faith seeking understanding," (f. 1) a definition which has endured to the present day. It would be difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to try to understand virtue or goodness without looking through some lens of faith....Get Goodness was written, in part, because my own faith was seeking understanding. Second, this book will look at virtue and goodness from a philosophical perspective because the word "philosophy" (from the Greek philos + sophia) means "love of wisdom." (f.2)...As we will find in this book, the virtue of love has been understood by most theologians and philosophers before me to be the essence of each and every virtue. Therefore, we must first love wisdom before we are able to practically discern, distinguish, deliberate and decide prudently in any effort to understand how virtue is the power to do good.... Third, this book will be suffused with poetry....because poetry is a language that goes beyond logic, thought, and reason.... It is a language of the spirit and a language of human life, love, observation, and experience....Any poem is an attempt to try to understand the experience of the world and the universe around us in spiritual terms. None of us should be seeking virtuous perfection in orienting ourselves to the good in this life; we should only be seeking change. The journey is the goal.

Theo Foley has been involved in professional football for over six decades as a player, coach and manager. During the early days of his playing career, whilst captain of Northampton Town, Theo ran a pie and chip shop to supplement his income from football, a far cry from the riches enjoyed by footballers today. In his autobiography, Theo Give Us a Ball: A Life in Football, co-authored with his son, Paul, Theo details the highs and lows of professional football in a bygone age. From kicking a ball about on the streets of 1950s' Dublin to captaining a First Division team during the 1960s and becoming assistant manager at Millwall and Arsenal, this book provides a fascinating insight into football in the days when a love of the game came before wealth and fame. During his time at Highbury, Theo became a local legend and fans would chant ‘Theo, give us a ball,' to which he duly obliged. In this honest account, Theo reveals the highs and lows of his life in football and shares his memories of working with some of the football greats of the past.

These are heady times at Highbury. Gobsmacked Gooners have been 'giving it large' over their glorious Double victory after three long years of playing bridesmaid to their northern nemesis. Arsenal on the Double is an intimate account of the most exciting season since the inception of the Premier League, seen through the experienced journalistic eyes of a lifelong Arsenal fan - one of the legions of loyal, hail-or-shine fanatics who follow their club over land and sea (and Leicester!). Any lifelong addict of the beautiful game will be able to relate to this roller-coaster ride of tribulation and ultimate triumph. The author takes us from the shock of discovering the debilitating cost cost of season-ticket renewals on the day of last year's FA Cup final disaster to the usual evangelical early-season euphoria. He traces the Arsenal's almost annual November inconsistency, which was transformed by a New Year's resolution to win - a resolution resulting from their Christmas-season encounters with card-happy referees. Go with the Gunners on an emotionally exhausting, but joyful journey, as they romp all the way back to another FA Cup final in Cardiff. Delight in the dramatic denouement of the Arsenal's third Double when Old Trafford becomes a Gooner's Theatre of Dreams and their record-breaking season reaches its ultimate climax on the enemy's turf.
