Martha Whittaker is turning forty and looking forward to a family reunion. Her years of terror with her first husband, Jebediah, have long since been buried in the back of her mind. Her three stepsons, Isaac, Abraham and Ezekiel, have also blocked the painful memories of their abusive father. Even Jeremy, Martha’s second husband and Jebediah’s older brother, has worked hard to create a happy family and help remove the horrors of his brother from everyone’s mind. The past is in the past and Jebediah has long been dead and buried in some far-away prairie town. At least everyone thought so until a man looking very much like Jebediah starts to haunt the Whittaker family, threatening the happy gathering of Martha’s three stepsons and her very troublesome daughter, Anna. Will Isaac’s wife bear the brunt of his guilt and suffer from this man’s abuse? Will Ezekiel suddenly turn abusive like his father? Will Abraham’s dreams of his father’s return actually come true? And then there is the most troubling question that plays on Martha’s mind. Do any of the children bear the evil gene that fed Jebediah’s madness, the same gene of insanity that placed their grandmother in an asylum long before they were born?

Paranoia is a first person account, from a 9/11 survivor, of how his increasing fear of terrorism became an all-consuming force in his life. Living outside of Colorado Springs years after the attacks, Jim suffers from post-traumatic stress, experiencing vivid, debilitating flashbacks to critical moments in his past. As Jim struggles to come to grips with all he lost in the attacks and in the years following, he must also deal with preserving his mental health. That task, daunting as it is on its own, becomes more complicated by the appearance of a private detective, who Jim believes has come to finally hold him accountable for his involvement in some regrettable, hate-fueled acts. Called "one book every American should read," by www.allthesebooks.com, Paranoia is J.E. Braun's debut novel.

A Hearing for Jim Thorpe: An Exercise in Frustration by Michael Sheaffer follows a sports reporter assigned to cover a hearing designed to determine if the famous olympic champion Jim Thorpe should keep all the gold medals he won at the 1912 Summer Olympic Games.

This fictional hearing becomes a metaphor for the best and worst in the human character, and thanks to author Sheaffer's impeccable research on the Thorpe legacy, readers are treated to a top drawer courtroom drama in the same spirit of Inherit the Wind. A hearing for Jim Thorpe is a must read for any sports fan, or anyone who loves a good read.

A RUMOR 

“I know the story of Julius Bertrand. He was taken from a merchant ship in his youth and forced to sail with pirates. He eventually found his way to Tobago where he took up with smugglers and made himself captain after capturing a Spanish sloop. Under the guise of privateer with a forged letter of marquee, he found himself confronted by Woodes Rogers, the colonial governor of the Bahamas, to surrender himself for pardon or be hunted down. The Pirate haven of Nassau had disbanded, and before him laid a golden opportunity…"

A DECISION 

Julius Bertrand secretly privateers for the British Crown. The former pirate thinks a wife will complete his masquerade, until a bounty is put on his head.

An adventure of a lifetime...

The reign of piracy is over in the Caribbean, or so it is believed until diamonds are discovered in Brazil. Despite the cover-up, Captain Julius Bertrand begins to hear whispers. The Spanish guardacostas are dumping log books, and a new French pirate is on the prowl. Distracted by an avaricious woman he could never love, and the beautiful Kate O’Connell who doesn’t need him, he tries to untangle the web of mysterious cargo someone in the New World wants kept secret. When Bertrand’s pirating past returns with the explosive force of a sweeping broadside, he finds he must sacrifice everything his respectable life has brought him, in order to save what matters most.
