A new series that’s suspenseful, humorous, and focused on mature couples with loving (but sometimes contentious) relationships. ONCE UPON A TRAILER PARK begins with a murder on the streets of the Beautiful Bird RV Park in Palm Hill, Florida. As residents learn bits and pieces about the crime (some true, some less so), they form and reform theories of the killer’s identity. It’s the park weirdo. It’s the ex-wife. It’s the victim’s employer. For a few couples in the park, it's important to find out the truth, some due to friendship, some from fear, some to protect themselves. What soon becomes clear is that asking too many questions brings danger. In fact for one unlucky senior citizen, it could spell disaster.

In the follow-up to *KIDNAP.org*, Robin and her gang take on an unscrupulous pharmaceuticals manufacturer, Neil Preston, who lives on a fortress-like estate and is a big fan of Josef Stalin. As their plan for making Preston change his dishonest ways develops, Robin runs into an old lover. Seeing Darin again makes her question her future. Should she leave crime-fighting behind and try to return to normal life? As the gang members work out their roles in the Preston Caper, Em also questions her future. Is she too old for this? Though both women are tempted to look back, they can't stay in the past. Danger is in the present, and they'll need to remain sharp if they're going to succeed with PHARMA CON. Still, crooks like Preston, who take advantage of the sick and elderly, need to be taught a lesson. Preston has all the protection money can buy, but our gang of "super-freaks" intends to take him on. It will be funny. It will be suspenseful. It will be a great ride for readers.

Life is starting to tick Robin Parsons off. Bad people get away with whatever, and good people are supposed to shut up and take it. When a friend gets into trouble and she sees a chance to even the score a little, Robin takes it. She makes a crooked politician give back the money he took. That's satisfying, and Robin wonders: Can I do it again? Should I do it again? She's no criminal mastermind, but help comes from unexpected sources. Soon Robin has a "gang," not exactly the Avengers, but willing and determined. As she continues her crusade for justice, Robin worries about a steely-eyed private investigator who's hot on her trail and seems to know where she'll go next. KIDNAP.org lets readers escape into "What if--?" with an everyday citizen who's had all she can take from the powerful and greedy. Enjoy the ride as Robin and her odd heroes use their not-so-super powers to make bad guys behave, turning victims into victors.

The friendship that grows over four summers will last a lifetime as they support each other through joy and tragedy, love and loss. As Miss E's story emerges, cabin steward Michael realizes the old woman isn't what she seems. That leaves him with a question. What is he going to do about it?

Two adorable puppy books in one from the beloved Animal Ark series.

The compelling untold story of a group of stranded U.S. Army nurses and medics fighting to escape Nazi-occupied Europe. When 26 Army nurses and medics-part of the 807th Medical Air Evacuation Transport Squadron-boarded a cargo plane for transport in November 1943, they never anticipated the crash landing in Nazi-occupied Albania that would lead to their months-long struggle for survival. A drama that captured the attention of the American public, the group and its flight crew dodged bullets and battled blinding winter storms as they climbed mountains and fought to survive, aided by courageous villagers who risked death at Nazi hands to help them. A mesmerizing tale of the courage and heroism of ordinary people, The Secret Rescue tells not only a new story of struggle and endurance, but also one of the daring rescue attempts by clandestine American and British organizations amid the tumultuous landscape of the war.
