Lead, follow, or get out of the way. —Thomas Paine Can you imagine the possibility of America's industries and economy growing at rates never seen before, unemployment below 2%, gasoline prices rolled back to 1970 price levels, booming manufacturing infrastructure, increases in education, medical and infrastructure spending and a government focused on expanding the economy by actually leading the charge? Come-On! Cents challenges the perceived norm, judges our decisions not on their moral fiber but on the effect of their economic consequences, teases our common sense and, more importantly, attempts to shake us from our stupor into a new purpose. Come-On! Cents absorbs the 13 million homes in the USA standing vacant, sparks tremendous infrastructure growth, and renews the calls for growth and expansion that defined our country. Author Chris Murtagh places government as the leader, not the de facto facilitator, redefines our purpose, and brings into question why and how we got here, providing a roadmap to launch the country into a new era of growth, prosperity, and purpose. Join Murtagh in this journey as he looks back at the decisions we the voters made over the years and the entertaining consequences of those decisions.

New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham pens two holiday tales that capture the peculiar magic of the season. HOME IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS Melody Tarleton is driving home for Christmas when a man—clad in Revolutionary War–era costume—appears out of nowhere. Jake Mallory claims he's a Patriot soldier executed by British authorities. Concerned, Melody brings Jake to her parents' house. He's passionate, charming and unlike anyone she's ever met. Can he really be who he claims? And can a man from the distant past be the future she truly longs for? AN ANGEL FOR CHRISTMAS The holidays have never brought out the best in the MacDougal family. Still, they gather in the Blue Ridge Mountains to try to make the season merry. Then, in the midst of a sibling shouting match, a mysterious stranger appears. Despite their fears, the MacDougals take a leap of faith. But when another stranger arrives, they don't know which of them to believe. One of these men can't be trusted. And one is about to bring Christmas into their hearts.

The murder of a disabled woman in an overgrown copse and obstruction by police colleagues motivates Detective Inspector Laura Baxter as never before. A conspiracy by influential people surrounds the planning approval for a hotel on the murder site, and the victim had important information to give Laura the day she died. Jean Easton was last seen alive in Cosimo’s Room, under which there could be sixteenth-century building remains. The remains could extend deep into the copse where the hotel will be built. Baxter’s determination grows when her ex-husband comes out of jail, threatening to snatch their daughter, and when Laura’s boyfriend leaves her. Her emotions rule her when she should be in control of the crime investigations. Laura’s record for the best clear up rate in the Police Authority is under threat. Iain Caldwell likes Baxter’s one-liners, which are aimed at anyone who tries to obstruct her. Iain was forced out of his job as a senior airline captain by the sort of people Laura has to deal with among her male colleagues and influential suspects. A friend of the victim who initially believes Iain to be the murderer becomes a friend, and they work together. Tony is inspired by a number of authors, including John le Carré, Agatha Christie, Stieg Larsson and Robert Harris. Cosimo’s Room will appeal to fans of murder mysteries.

“I am a man of my word. You shall still have your event. You can dance with every beau there, if that is your wish.”​ I nodded sadly. “We will see how things play out, Mister March. If your son returns and still bears hatred for me, I’ll not wed him, honor or no.” I lifted my chin, my eyes meeting his boldly. “I’ll not live in a loveless marriage, Mister March. I will live out my days as a penniless spinster before I succumb to that.”​ The year is 1860, and in the South, life isn’t easy. Sixteen-year-old Bree Montgomery is finding out firsthand how difficult it can be. She had the same dreams that most young women had; to fall in love and be whisked off her feet by her Prince Charming. But the sweet passionate dreams of the night can turn into the harsh nightmares of reality in the light of day. Her hand in marriage has been promised by her father to the one young man who despises her most, Gabriel March.​ While the country’s fate is wrapped in the turmoil of a brooding Civil War, a battle of wills is being fought as two stubborn personalities collide. In the heat of an argument, a stolen, passionate kiss leads to a truce and sparks a flame in Bree’s heart. In an era where propriety and reputation for a young woman are everything, Bree is torn between doing what’s proper and following her heart. Sweet Rebellion.
