Before the world collapsed three generations ago, people were downloading their minds into gravestones. Now that nothing exists of the previous world, these tombstones are mankind's only hope for survival.
Line of Fire
Across Canada peace officers put their lives on the line every day. From John Fisk in 1804, the first known Canadian policeman killed in the line of duty, to the four RCMP officers shot to death in Mayerthorpe, Alberta, in 2005, renowned true crime writer Edward Butts takes a hard-hitting, compassionate, probing look at some of the stories involving the hundreds of Canadian law-enforcement officers who have found themselves in harm’s way. Some, like the four RCMP officers who perished in the Northwest Territories on the "Lost Patrol" of 1910, died in horrible accidents while performing their duties. Others, such as the Mounties involved in the manhunts for Almighty Voice and the Mad Trapper of Rat River, found themselves in extremely dangerous, violent situations. One thing is certain about all of these peace officers: they displayed amazing courage and never hesitated to make the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow citizens.

The Shadow Man
Horses and Horse People. Hauntings & Secrets. They dominate and intimidate Maggie's every waking second in Del Mar's horse country--just as she attempts a last-chance life makeover. At first it's only daylight she sees: fledgling freedom from her drug-addicted ex-husband, and a rush of empowerment to discover new love, in a new world, at a bustling equestrian center. However, darkness lurks behind the daylight. If only it weren't for the strange shadows, inexplicable noises, and that unwelcoming staircase troubling Maggie and her young daughter Kat's peace in their inherited Del Mar home In this harrowing ghost story, Maggie Flores, is dually haunted by the unexplainable, malignant presence in her new home and by her ex-husband Tim's tragic meth addiction. Tim too, is haunted by toxic, increasingly vicious shadows from his past -- and from beyond the grave -- that threaten Maggie, himself, and their young daughter.
It's about that Time

The Tabernacle
The Tabernacle By: Jeff Clark The Tabernacle follows the sweeping 13,000 year history of two central Texas farm communities: Alameda and Cheaney. Searching along winding wooded trails, uncovering hidden homesteads miles from the nearest road and listening at last to the words of teachers four decades his senior, author Jeff Clark begins to hear the tale of timeless lands, and the lessons as it finally breaks open in his own life. This sprawling epic is full of firsthand testimony about the harsh settlement of the Texas frontier, as well as surprising glimpses into his storytellers’ twenty-first century lives. The Tabernacle will move you deeply, as it has moved within the lives of many generations encamped along the shores of the Leon River.
