Book Description
What is Chasing Charlie? Exceptionally gifted blues guitarist Charlie Morningstar thinks he knows and he's spent 20 years on the road running from it. Performing for only a sophisticated audience raised on the same kind of classic jazz and blues that shaped his strong musical upbringing, Charlie Morningstar has more important goals than fame and fortune; Charlie Morningstar wants to stay alive! Denying him, his blues band and his brother the chance at superstardom, Charlie goes from one gig to another struggling to keep his eye on the road ahead while always looking back. His sanity begins to unravel until one roller coaster night when déjà vu and incredible serendipity converge to set Charlie on a new road that takes him to where the chase began. Charlie finds a greater reason to stay and is reunited with an old family friend who has vast knowledge of his past, an offer for the present, and ideas about his future; all of which he's taking to his grave!

Book Description
A Ready Hope: Effective Disaster Ministry for Congregations is an introduction for people of faith who are new to the ministry of disaster preparedness and response. Authors Kathy Haueisen and Carol Flores have both personal and professional experience dealing with the tropical storms and hurricanes that have roared through the Gulf Coast region the past decade. Residents of Houston, Texas, they have worked closely with ecumenical faith-based and other nongovernmental networks, governmental groups, judicatory leaders, and congregations as they have assisted those affected by these disasters. A Ready Hope provides an overview of existing disaster-response networks, details the predictable phases of disaster recovery at both the individual and community level, lifts up helpful and unhelpful ways that congregational leaders and members can be involved in disaster response efforts, and provides resources to prepare congregations to respond appropriately to a disaster in their community. A variety of organizations bring help when disaster strikes. Faith-based organizations also bring hope to the survivors of the disaster and to the other rescue and relief workers who leave home to assist. This book will help people of faith equip themselves to be part of God s heart and hands when a disaster occurs.

Book Description
There was a clattering of feet on the stairs leading to the chamber of Aunt Stanshy’s barn. First there popped up one head and a pair of curious eyes. Then there popped up a second head and two more eyes. Then there popped up a third head and two more eyes. “Jolly! Don’t she beat all?” It was Sid Waters who said this. “It’s de best barn in de lane,” said Juggie Jones, a little colored boy, his dark eyes lighting up with true interest. “Well, I think it is a pretty good barn,” rejoined Charlie Macomber, with apparent unconcern. At the same time a secret pride was dwelling in his bosom, that suddenly made his jacket too tight for him. If Seamont, in which the barn was located, was one of the best of towns in the opinion of its inhabitants, this particular barn, in Charlie’s estimate, was one of the best structures of that sort in the place. Below, on the first floor, there was a chance of a stall for Brindle, now grazing in a little pasture adjoining the garden. There was, also, a stall for a horse, and an extra stall, though empty, always gives dignity to a barn, suggesting what has been, and, while speaking of a glory departed, hints of that which may be another day. But the chamber! What palace of gold ever had a room equal to that chamber? It had a row of barrels, behind which or in which you could safely hide. It had a ladder that would let you smartly bump your head against the highest rafter in the roof, a cross-beam, too, from which you could suspend a swing, and a window in the rear from which you could look upon the Missigatchee River (supposed to have been christened by the Indians). This river-view you could have had, if the window had not been boarded up, but there was a front window, whose big square shutter was generally open. This gave a boy a view of the lane and, if maliciously disposed, a chance to safely let drive an apple or a snow-ball at any “down-townie” that might rashly invade the neighborhood. There was also a window high up, at one end, well latticed with cobwebs. Then there was a closet, which was splendid for “Hy-spy,” and—notice!—honor upon honor—there was a “cupelo,” as Charlie called it, on top of the barn. Through the slats of the “cupelo,” one could look upon the river shining gloriously at sunset, as if the sun were a Chinese mandarin that at this hour spread his yellow silk robe upon the river in a vain attempt to warm up the cold waters just from the sea. Besides this there were various attractions, such as oars in the corner, nets hanging from nails, and let it not be forgotten that a big strip of dried halibut dangled from a spike in the wall. To a hungry boy what is there better than such a halibut, unless it be two halibuts? Already there had been sly, toothsome pickings of this. It is no wonder, then, that the soul of Sid Waters, to say nothing of his stomach in view of the halibut, was powerfully affected, and again he cried out, “Jolly!” Then he clapped his hands, shouting, “Just the place for a club!”

Book Description
A Hollywood literary agent and single mother is a reluctant sleuth—and psychic—in this delightfully quirky quartet of paranormal mysteries. Kicking off with the “entertainingly oddball” debut novel in the Charlie Greene series, this volume gathers four of Millhiser’s best high-spirited whodunits (Kirkus Reviews). Murder at Moot Point: Charlie Greene heads to foggy Moot Point, Oregon, to meet with a client, reclusive New Age author Jack Monroe, who is currently experimenting with out-of-body experiences. But when a real body is found under Charlie’s car, she must find the real killer before she goes out of her mind. Death of the Office Witch: Gloria Tuschman—the receptionist at Charlie’s office and also a practicing witch—rubbed everyone the wrong way, so someone rubbed her out. With Gloria’s ghost calling to her from the great beyond, Charlie has no choice but to find who did it before someone else gets a cold-blooded reception. “Humorous, inviting . . . written in crisp, likable prose” (Library Journal). Murder in a Hot Flash: Charlie’s mother, biology professor and rodent specialist Edwina Greene, is in Utah consulting on a documentary. Unfortunately, she’s also the prime suspect in the murder of a science fiction film director. Now Charlie must team up with a Hollywood hunk and track down the dirty rat who did the deed if she hopes to clear her mom’s name. “Likable protagonists and wry humor make this a hit ” (Library Journal). Voices in the Wardrobe: Charlie takes her dear friend Maggie Stutzman to an exclusive San Diego spa to get some much-needed R&R. But tensions rise after a celebrity motivational speaker is found dead in one of the pools and Maggie is facing murder charges. Charlie will need to flush out the killer hiding among the spa’s pampered elite if she hopes to save her friend.
