Slumming Angels
Slumming Angels is a detective mystery set in Houston, Texas in the 1990's. The protagonist, Trip Chandler, is a no-nonsense tough guy from the old school. His penchant for finding trouble and attracting beautiful women, coupled with a sharp tongue and quick fists, is a recipe for disaster. In Chandler's maiden voyage, he gets involved with a sixtyish Texas oilman and his drop-dead gorgeous mistress, a blonde nymphomaniac that can reduce the toughest-tough guy, to a flaccid puddle of warm water. This one includes big bucks, quick sex, blackmail, and of course murder.
Olympus and Beyond
Olympus and Beyond by Allan Lawrence is the story of sport (running) told against the backdrop of the bigger human story of atmosphere, emotions, and relationships from the beginning, where a young Australian boy watched a newsreel and saw an American Naval Ensign become the first human in history to exceed 15' in the pole vault in Madison Square Garden. He vowed that one day he would compete in Madison Square Garden and break a world record. True to his word, seventeen years later, almost to the day, he succeeds, although in a different event. This is the fascinating tale of a young boy's rise in the athletic field and his coming to the United States, where he won several NCAA titles (both individual and team), and won All-American selection ten times, while winning AAU titles in cross-country, indoor, and track running. He struggled along the way with citizenship and health issues, but his determination and persistence allowed him to overcome these obstacles. Allan Lawrence is a true competitor.

Thirty-Three Years of Running in Circles
Rand Mintzer woke up one day and realized that he was morbidly obese, barely passing his college classes, and without any real goals. Inspired by the memory of a television movie and encouraged by a college roommate, he started running and turned his life around. That was more than thirty years ago, and he's been running ever since-even finishing a marathon. Whether you are battling a weight problem or already consider yourself a runner, you will be motivated by his personal story of redemption. "Every runner's story is at once unique and cut from a common cloth. Rand Mintzer's story is filled with heartwarming lessons and goals reached while saturated with logical and practical advice from which every new runner can benefit. Essentially two books in one, Thirty-Three Years of Running in Circles runs from the inspiring personal to the logical and essential practical while covering everything in between." -Rich Benyo, editor, Marathon and Beyond magazine
