This Dog's Afterlife by David Shockley (72 Reviews)    Price verified 6 minutes ago

Do you ever wonder what your dogs are thinking? How they feel? What they're dreaming about as they run, whimper, bark, and growl in their sleep? Who or what they're playing with when they romp around all by themselves? What they're looking at when all you see is a blank wall or an empty doorway? Will we see them again after they've gone? Are they still here watching over us - helping, perhaps even snuggling with us like they used to? What if they wrote and sent you a story from the great beyond? This Dog's Afterlife answers those questions. Tucker, the canine narrator, takes the reader on an adventure starting from the most unlikely of places: the last day of his life. At that moment, he realizes that the end is really just a new beginning. Tucker encounters many new wonders and finds he has much to learn. Fortunately, he has help in the form of his father, Rocket, and a cast of canine characters who show him the ropes. Along the way, he learns that some souls don't immediately move on to the afterlife, but instead, find themselves adrift. Those souls can be found and helped, but it's a delicate and dangerous task. When he tries to rescue the lost soul of a young boy, Tucker realizes that even after death, sorrow is a very real, very tangible thing, and that there are still fears to overcome and hard choices to be made.

Stolen Thoughts (Robbre Knight Prodigal Playboy Book 1) by Scott F Neve (2 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Lord Knight began by saying, "I need your help, Robbre. No doubt you are aware of my vast holdings in the Kings Trust Company (It was a French version of the famous English insurance company Lloyds of London that would insure anything for anyone for millions and billions of dollars). My friends in the home office have shared some very disturbing news with me. The company was forced to pay on several bogus claims. It has nearly ruined us." "How can I help, father?" the sixteen-year old, a recent finishing school graduate, asked with growing curiosity. The mature father smiled with pride as he said, "You have your mother's intuition and my acumen for good business, but you have a special gift. I know that you could turn the tables on those blighters. The soulless wretches claim that they are robbed of their jewels just so they can get the insurance money. The bloody stupid company wrote them checks without thoroughly investigating the crimes. I want those buggers to be brought to justice, but not by the law of the land. There are too many good people involved that could be destroyed if the criminals sought vengeance once they were caught. What I desire for you to do is find the miscreants, recover the supposedly stolen items and then bring the jewels to me. I will take the pleasure of rubbing their noses in the truth in the light of day. If I am right, they will gladly pay back the insurance money plus a finder's fee just to keep their names out of the Times and their backsides out of the pokey." Robbre asked, "Don't you think that I am a tad young for this important assignment. Surely you and your friends must know of other more experienced men who could do the job. What if I get caught and they guess that you sent me?" Lord Knight said, "It is your youthful looks that I am counting on to blind the world to the truth. You must put away your love of books to embrace the true mysteries of life. I will secretly bankroll your venture, but they will think that ...

SHOW ME YOUR FACE by Pete Palamountain (58 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"Fantastic read." "A heartwarming plot." "Terrific medical thriller." "This story touched my heart. So worth reading." "Was so interested in this autism novel that I decided not to take my sleeping meds so I could finish it last night. I reluctantly read the last page at 2 a.m. I didn't want it to end." "Impossible to read the last chapter without a tear... or at least a lump in your throat." "Special needs parents concerned with autism or Aspergers syndrome will cherish this book." In an age (late 1960's and early 1970's) when charlatans and medical quacks reigned in the treatment of autism, and when "refrigerator mothers" were blamed for the disorder, Peggy Raintree, a courageous mother, refuses to believe the myth that she caused her son's autism by rejecting him at the breast -- so she sets out to find her own answers. But will she be prevented from using her creative, new ideas to reach her strange little boy? And will he ever be able to show her his true face? Peggy deals with the pressures in her life with strength and grace, and even in her darkest moments never loses sight of her goals. She is not perfect, either as a parent or spouse, but she is warm, clear-thinking, and brave. The incidences of autism have skyrocketed in the last twenty years. This novel dramatizes the struggle to understand this phenomenon. It explores the foolish medical myths of the last forty years as well as the roots of the promising new ideas that have helped hundreds of boys and girls with autism in recent years. "Very few books have the power to make me weep, but the last scene with Billy made me bawl." "Autism fiction at its best." "... Legal drama--family court. I learned so much."

The story line is perfect." - Amazon Reviewer While researching the cause of beehive demise across the country, scientific prodigy Javier stumbles onto a breakthrough discovery -- a virus carried by bugs that insecticides can't eradicate. It explains a string of human illnesses and deaths, and it means a vaccine is possible. But instead of his achievement being celebrated, his bosses try to murder him. Bloody and bruised, Javier flees only to collapse in the courtyard of a homeless shelter. Liz, a jaded widow, saves him and agrees to help as the authorities trump up charges against him. Together, they become fugitives, and in searching for a way to develop a vaccine, they discover an intricate chain of secrets that leads to the most powerful entities in the country. Now, to win freedom for themselves and for millions of others, Javier and Liz must fight an impossible battle against government bodies and corporations that will imprison and kill before letting their secrets out. While winning means relief from decades of manipulation and oppression, losing would result in more deaths than the virus ever threatened -- including their own.

Fast paced and intense, it is an amazing story ripped from today's headlines by way of the brilliant imagination of Allison Maruska.

Should Have Stayed Home by James Huber (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Should Have Stayed Home Is a laugh-out-loud read that will take you on a roller coaster of unpredictable events. James Huber's writing had me equally intrigued and delighted. Bur is a naive yet lovable character. His intellect may be challenged, but his heart is always in the right place. His curiosity and willingness to open up to new possibilities were admirable. Bur and Port had great chemistry, and their crazy interactions and ideas are the driving force of this tale. The irony of them wanting to read but not knowing what reading means, and little details like counting days by moons, was comedy gold. It is well-written, and I loved reading it. Ultimately, Huber adds details that make you wonder if the contents were worth all the trouble. You will have to read the book to figure this out. This book, and all of my others are available for movie, animation, serialization or television rights. Contact my agent, James von Scholz for more information. james@vonscholz.de 1 212-444-2670
