Book Description
Spring bursts into bloom-and a whole lot more-as murder-by-arrow rattles Benteen County, Kansas. Nothing ever happens in Benteen County, Kansas. Then, on a perfect spring morning, a member of the reality TV program filming in a local pasture dies with a Cheyenne arrow in his back. Sheriff English's brother, Mad Dog, the county oddball whose Amerind heritage has produced a born-again Cheyenne, is a prime suspect. Murder is a bad way to start the day. Explosive action follows. Notes left for authorities hint at a terrorist assault on the heartland. If the sheriff, known as Englishman, doesn't have enough to worry about, his wife has begun acting strangely. She insists he fly off on a Paris holiday with her before sunset—or else. As Mad Dog swings between suspect and target, he encounters his long-lost high school sweetheart, and a secret that just may explain the unlikely mix of arrows and bombs. It's Murphy's Law squared, as Mad Dog and his pet wolf, Hailey, test a shaman's powers, and Englishman struggles to balance his duties to family and community-enough to drive anyone Plains Crazy.

The Raunch Factor

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595382304
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 499
Book Description
Idealistic, passionate but broke Third Party U.S. congressional candidate Harold "Hal" Renshaw believes that the American two-sides-of-the-same-coin two-party system is dangerously undemocratic. Pioneering women's shelter founders, including sexy, savvy interior designer, Daphne Singleton, help Hal with party-building through hilarious, manic and sometimes disastrous fundraisers. Hal's Citizen Action Party's rapid growth and anti-Gulf War message spur a vicious infiltration counter-movement. Similar conflict is unfolding at the Sojourner Shelter where Marilyn Monroe clone, social-worker-from-hell CEO Traci Bilsen Bloom refuses to shelter domestic violence victims of color. Additional power-driven manipulations reveal the misanthropic Traci one of the most sinister yet funniest, preposterously erotic characters in recent literature. This fast-paced, informative socio-political satire is an office seeker's primer, a moving love story and exciting mystery with intelligently-written universality.
