"A SMART, INTRIGUING, SUSPENSEFUL WHODUNIT!"
Sam Jenkins worked for the New York Police Department for twenty years, then retired and moved to Tennessee. Naturally, after retirement, he didn't plan on joining the Police Force once again, but the urge came upon him, and he acted on it. His new position as Police Chief in Prospect began with a mission to solve a homicide, investigate the suspects, and make sure justice is served. However, he had to deal with political influence and extreme pressure from people who didn't want him to take the case. What kind of reputation did Cecil Lovejoy have, and who killed him? What kind of relationship did he have with his wife? Was Sam's best friend the number one suspect? Was Pearl satisfied with Sam, or did she go over his head to push him away? Time is running out, and the clock ticks fast as Sam tries to fit the pieces into the puzzle. I highly recommend this book to all mystery lovers, who enjoy an intriguing story filled with suspense, interesting characters, and humor. Wayne Zurl uses his expertise as a professional in criminal justice as he becomes a Master storyteller in a setting that fits like a glove as he creates a gripping story with intense suspense, page-after-page. The characters with their Southern accent come to life, the twists-and-turns make the reader crave for more, and the author's imagination and creativity become addictive. The story is intelligent, interesting, and enjoyable. Will the crime be solved as New York law meets Southern society? Will greed, hatred, and bribery be swept from under the carpet? Will the wealthy and powerful win the game, or the war? Who are the innocent, and will the guilty be convicted? "A NEW PROSPECT:City Limit" contains as much Yankee charm as MY COUSIN VINNY, is as suspenseful as THIRTEEN DAYS, and is as dramatic as PRESUMED INNOCENT, with Harrison Ford.

"HEARTFELT, EMOTIONAL, AND DEEPLY MOVING!"
There was a time when a young boy remembers the closeness of his family, how much he loved both parents, and the joys of childhood. Then one day, his parents were divorced, his teen years were more than complicated and his entire world began to shatter, like broken glass. At the age of seventeen, Jesse began to live in a world of his own. An only child, who was faced with separation, betrayal, anguish and one brave teenager who fell to the ground in a desperate search for answers on how to survive. What drew Jesse further apart from his mom, and was his dad the hero that he made him out to be? What ran through Jesse's mind, while watching the twin towers in flames, what fears and guilt terrified him? What did his mom write in the note, and what message was left on the answering machine? I highly recommend this book to young adults, parents, and teachers. Sara Dean penned an incredible story that relates to today's society, family unity, divorce, and loss of a loved one. The author takes the reader on an emotional roller-coaster ride from beginning to end, the characters come to life, and the story will tug at your heart, page-after-page. What secret did Shandy share with Jesse, and was she telling the truth? What did Jesse do to Nicky in an outrage, and why? Why did Jesse want to enlist in the Army, and did Nicky follow his footsteps? Does Jesse bond with his grandmother, and does he get his life back? "FORGIVING JESSE" is as heartfelt as PAY IT FORWARD, as entertaining as A WALK TO REMEMBER and as emotional as STEPMOM, with Julia Roberts.

~~SURVIVING THE DEATH OF AN INFANT~~
Author Encourages Those Who Have Suffered Loss To Become Better, Not Bitter!
Overwhelming grief, uncontrollable anger and paralyzing despair can tear apart not just individuals whose lives have been touched by death, but also entire families. In her book, FROM THE DEPTHS OF A WOMAN'S SOUL, Christa Jan Ryan guides survivors toward a future of peace and acceptance of their terrible loss, by sharing her devastating experience.
'FROM THE DEPTHS OF A WOMAN'S SOUL' is a concise and powerful journey through the healing process that Christa struggled with, after the death of her daughter.

Compassion and honesty infuse each page with comfort for those who have endured similar tragedy. She empowers survivors to make peace with their emotions, so that they can take the necessary time and actions they feel are beat, in order to mend their hearts and rebuild relationships.
~~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~~
As discovered by someone whose childhood was filled with more questions than answers. The youngest of six, growing up with triplet sisters, all born with Cerebral Palsy. Christa Jan Ryan's candid and personal journey winds back-and-forth from Kingston, New York, to the fabulous Hamptons and into a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
As a landscaper to the rich and famous, her story is filled with humor and revelations that match her powerful self-will with that of God's far more subtle ways, only to realize that his Grace is upon all of us. We only have to reach out and accept it.
