Book Description
Ambitious young aide Ernst Funck thinks working to elect a conservative senator is a dream job--until he meets his boss, "Wriggly Rex." Rex Wrigley is an alcoholic lecher or a lecherous alcoholic, depending on his company and the time of day. When he holds a drunken press conference to roast his supporters and the press, hopeful Ernst realizes he can't win the election without putting a stop to Rex's destructive behavior. In the privacy of the Wrigley office, things are no better. The Texas millionaire who funded Rex's campaign wants his money back. One of Ernst's co-workers wants a "deeper relationship." Bunny, the office manager, is an equal-opportunity destroyer. Even Porky, Rex's own campaign strategist, makes Ernst a rival. As if Ernst needed another problem, Rex's wife Blanche and girlfriend Angel both work in the office, too. It seems there is nary a safe corner in which to hide. Ernst wants to win this campaign and show the competitive political world what he's capable of doing--but Rex and his supporting staff are making victory impossible. Rex is quite capable of ruining Ernst's career before it has even begun. Will Ernst pull out a win in spite of Rex? Or will he have to find the embarrassing witness protection program for failed campaign staffers?

Pages : 507
Book Description
After almost twenty years, Emery Hazard finally has the man he loves. But things with his boyfriend and fellow detective, John-Henry Somerset, are never easy, and they’ve been more complicated lately for two reasons: Somers’s ex-wife and daughter. No matter what Hazard does, he can’t seem to get away from the most important women in his boyfriend’s life. While Hazard struggles with his new reality (changing dirty diapers, just to start), a bizarre murder offers a distraction. John Oscar Walden, the leader of a local cult, is found dead by the police, and the case falls to Hazard and Somers. The investigation takes the two detectives into the cult’s twisted relationships and the unswerving demands of power and faith. But the deeper Hazard looks into the cult, the deeper he must look into his own past, where belief and reason have already clashed once. And as Hazard struggles to protect the most vulnerable of Walden’s victims, he uncovers a deeper, more vicious plot behind Walden’s murder, and Hazard finds himself doing what he never expected: racing to save the killer. Only, that is, if Somers doesn’t need him to babysit.

Book Description
If you liked Nate Temple by Shanye Silvers, Montague & Strong by Orlando Sanchez, PPD by John P Logsdon, anything by KF Breene or the Tome of Bill series then this is what you need to read next! Pulse-pounding action, paranormal detectives and laugh-out-loud-embarrass-yourself-in-public humor, what's not to like? Delve into a world where supernatural crimes are investigated by two detectives standing alone to protect those that call on them. In the brooding, dark landscape of England, with its rolling hills and forgotten castles, the dark breeds evil in every shadow. Or stupid, some of them definitely just contain stupid. With millions of pages read and thousands of books sold, the Blue Moon paranormal investigation series will grip you from the start and rob you of sleep as you continue turning pages until well after your bedtime. It is action-packed, but funny, fast-paced yet intriguing and there are 13 stories already published. Get the first 3 excitement-filled stories in this omnibus edition and save a pile against buying them individually. Paranormal Nonsense – Falsely advertised as a paranormal investigator, Tempest Michaels has a serial killing vampire to track down and a poltergeist to catch and all because his client is just too gorgeous to turn down. He'll need to keep his mind on the job though as his investigation soon attracts unwanted attention from the police and a local gang of vampire worshippers. They won't be the biggest problem though as his friends, his mum, and his dogs are going to help! The Phantom of Barker Mill – A hundred-year-old mystery proves irresistible for England's only paranormal P.I. It looks like the perfect case, but someone, or perhaps everyone is lying to him, and as he closes in on the truth, he is led into a race against time that may cost him more than he is willing to pay. Oh, and his mum wants him to organise a baby shower. Amanda Harper Paranormal Detective - When hysterical customers claim their shopping has been stolen by a ghost, the shopping mall manager calls the only paranormal investigation agency in the book. Meet Amanda Harper, Paranormal P.I. But its Amanda's first day and nothing in life has prepared her for the bedlam that will follow. What is the truth behind the mysterious missing shopping bags? Does she have any idea what she is doing? And why, oh why, did she invite sassy BFF Patience Woods to help out?

Languages : en

Book Description
Book 2 in the Dr. Abby Wilmore Series Where Light Comes and Goes brings back Dr. Abby Wilmore, the young family physician who was the protagonist of Miller’s first novel, The Color of Rock. Abby has accepted the directorship of a summer clinic in Yellowstone National Park where she hopes to expand her medical skills. She arrives to find herself working above the increasingly restless Yellowstone supervolcano, treating visitors, staff, and locals, all while evading the advances of a lecherous concession manager and maintaining a long-distance relationship with her partner who stays at the Grand Canyon Clinic. As tremors in the park escalate and the lakes seethe with bubbling gases, Abby learns that some-one is mysteriously killing the bison. What follows is an engrossing mystery unfolding in a spectacular setting with rich, quirky, and endearing characters and unexpected plot turns. While an overworked Abby makes new friends among her clinic staff and patients, tension builds as the volcano seems to be moving closer to a major eruption and the bison killings become more frequent. Soon, Abby finds herself in mortal danger as the story races to a thrilling and unexpected conclusion. Sandra Cavallo Miller demonstrated in The Color of Rock that she is a gifted storyteller. Where Light Comes and Goes deftly combines a gripping mystery set in the accurately depicted routine of a busy medical practice amid the wonders of Yellowstone’s magnificent scenery and wildlife. This is entertaining reading at its best.

Easytalk - Advanced
Author: Tom Dillman
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665503319
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
EasyTalk is designed to help many millions of yearly visitors (business and pleasure) to the United States, the many business owners throughout the World who want to take part in the giant U.S. economy, the slightly over 1 million new legal immigrants to the U.S. every year and the millions of resident professionals from the last dozen years or more. Many formerly foreign medical folks in the one of the World’s largest Medical Centers, for example, who asked me to compile a book so they can at least enjoy going to the grocery store, do other shopping or their jobs better. Underlying EasyTalk is the little understood Science of Phonology (hearing and listening) expressed in common, simplified language to achieve these goals. The book’s area of phonology focuses on short and long sounds of our alphabets vowels as they modify conversation syllables in talking or listening to others.
