Josh McCain is about to inherit a fortune, but instead of leaving behind easy money, his father has sought to accomplish in death what he was unable to do in life. He strips his slacker son of all his advantages, and substitutes a testament of tough love-an ultimate to-do list that targets Josh's mind, body, and soul. Josh has two years to complete the list if he is to inherit his father's vast estate. Forced out from his father's shadow, Josh must undertake an odyssey of self-renewal that takes him to people, places, and challenges he never thought he'd have to encounter, overcoming not only his own weaknesses, but obstacles and sabotage from persons who would benefit by his failure. Josh's journey brings him to a new level of understanding and faith, and if he doesn't blow it-true love.
Say Uncle Believing in himself was difficult. Someone else believing in him was deadly. Alienated young Everyman, Guy Andrews, is tired of spending his life on his back crying uncle, and craves change. Change arrives in the form of a beguiling young woman who lures him into a world of gorgeous spies and ruthless assassins. Never knowing whom he can trust, Guy must exorcise 'the slacker within' and rely on his wits and will to unravel the mystery of his own past, before he or someone he loves becomes its next victim. His mission will require wits and courage he's not sure he possesses-and the strength to say uncle no more. Say Uncle is the enthralling adventure of a young man's coming of age, and his enlightening and humorous struggle to find in anonymity his own unique place.
Stormer's Pass "In a world where integrity and courage are on the retreat, you can't wait for a hero. You can only become one." The sleepy mountain town of Pinecrest is jolted from its slumbers by two of its most unlikely citizens; gifted high school athlete, Max Stormer, and Aidos, an extraordinary teenager who has been living for years unobserved on the outskirts of town. Aidos sacrifices her anonymity to befriend the troubled Max Stormer-awakening him to potential he never knew he possessed, and to a courage and heroism far greater than he ever needed to show on any playing field. Be he anarchist or hero, outlaw or savior, being a champion was never harder as Max finds himself captain of something much bigger than a football team. Stormer's Pass is the gripping adventure of two people's uncommon faith in each other, in their friends, and in the magic of courage.
