Burning Paradise

by Terry Hughes

Fiction/Mystery   ISBN:  978-1-938178-35-3  262 pages  $15.95  Gray Dog Press

“Five Murdered”

It is the latest headline in the beautiful ocean side city of Santa Marta, CA reporting on the toll taken by an arsonist called Smoke.

 

Eager to find the torch-turned-killer, arson  investigator and scarred former firefighter Monte Raleigh has just thirty days to find, and stop, Smoke before the arsonist strikes—and kills—again. But, Santa Marta has its seedy side, and three competing fire departments are all pointing the finger at the others which does not help the investigation. He’s given just thirty days to track down the arsonist.

 

To add to the panic and terror, Smoke taunts the local paper by sending poems in advance of each fire, announcing where the fire will take place (but not when).

 

Welcome to a land where everyone has something to gain, and everyone has something—or someone—to lose… Welcome to Paradise.

 

Part Dashiell Hammett, part Sue Grafton, Terry Hughes’ Burning Paradise is an engrossing book that will captivate mystery/detective readers and enthrall thriller/suspense readers.

Author Terry Hughes is a former Chief of the Paradise Volunteer Fire Department, helping to found it when the infamous Painted Cave Fire, set by an arsonist in 1990, enveloped and destroyed over five hundred homes. The first incident in Burning Paradise is based on the actual Painted Cave Incident radio transcript.

 

Kitchen Basics 101  return to book list
by Ann Jorgensen 

This handy reference guide was compiled by a 72 year-old great grandmother for the beginning of her great-granddaughter’s culinary journey.  Family questions over many years were the catalyst for the content.  This book is great for kitchen beginners, but also serves as a reminder and quick reference for the experienced cook as well.  It is chock full of basic measuring techniques, different pan sizes, and substitutions for those occasions when you don’t have a particular item or ingredient in your pantry.  A cooking vocabulary and description of certain recipe instruction methods are also of great help.  The book includes charts for freezer and refrigerator storage, a chart to convert regular recipes into crock-pot, and a conversion chart for metric.  This book is a “must have” in every kitchen.  It will be a well used addition in all the kitchens of those who own it.

Angels Three Six…

by Colonel Chuck Lehman

                           

 

    Strap into a mortar-fired parachute, a rocket powered ejection seat and fly with Col Chuck Lehman in the fastest single engine jet fighter ever built, the F-106 Dart.  Feel the exhilaration of hurtling through the blue at a mile every 2.35 seconds, the “G” forces and the satisfaction of keeping the bad guys out of our airspace.  You’ll laugh at some of these stories, sweat out a few and ask, “How could he have been so stupid?” in others.  These confessions bare it all.  Sense what it was like to live and work as a fighter pilot in an environment of huge egos, unbridled confidence and an eagerness to push it to the edge - - and sometimes over it.  As Chuck says, “Just keep the pointy end forward.”  Also get acquainted with the F-102, F-86, Harrier, T-33 too - - and even the ubiquitous Gooney Bird.

Asher…

by Colonel Charles Lehman

 

ASHER

     Asher and his best friend are lured into the first century Roman army by a kind soldier.  Both are assigned to King Herod’s Guard.  Before they realize they are working for a murderous madman, the jealous king sends them to ride into Bethlehem in the middle of the night to kill all the baby boys.  The horrific event leaves Asher agonized by guilt, especially since he has roots in Bethlehem.

     The fathers of two of the babies he killed swear revenge and join the anti-Rome Zealot movement intent on tracking Asher down.  The chase whirls through Judea, and the Negev Desert where Asher and his platoon are ambushed by Zealot horsemen and fight them on camel-back.

     Asher is married and has a son of his own, which intensifies his guilt.  While on a kidnapping mission in Galilee he meets Y’shuah, a young Jewish prophet, who claims to be the promised Messiah.  They meet again on a hill called Golgatha and finally outside an empty tomb near Jerusalem.

OWEN J. HUNTER has just lost his commercial building in a foreclosure sale and soon begins to believe there’s been a conspiracy by a mortgage broker and his cronies to acquire the property. Convinced this is the case, Owen designs a scheme to get his property back and put a halt to the illegal activities of those involved. As part of his plan, he randomly contacts an escort service to covertly gain help in obtaining critical information from the broker’s files. That’s when he and JUDY CARMELLE come together and immediately fall in love. Working (and playing) in concert, using fake identities and crafty disguises, all at the risk of being eliminated, Owen and Judy traverse an extremely dangerous path and soon uncover a low-level syndicate committing high level crimes and murder.

Just An Average Dilemma

By D. A. Williams

ISBN 978-1-4507-1436-5 $14.95 Fiction: Soft Cover 208 pages

Harold Smith is quite content with his life, which has been nearly perfect for the past twelve years. He loves his wife, his two children, his home, his job, everything. Harold trusts everybody— when he should trust no one, because there are secrets that he doesn’t know about. He was furtively hand-picked for the job he loves, his wife has hidden skeletons in her closet and the company he works for doesn’t really exist.

When Harold accidentally learns the truth about his employers, he begins to discover many realities about those around him and he faces heart-wrenching decisions that create extreme danger, not only for him, but for those whom he loves. Despite this, Harold never panics as he treacherously weaves his way into and out of one nail-biting, life-threatening situation after another.
