Up!
Insufficient healthcare coverage, a weakened economy, the fragile environment—most people would be hard pressed to find even one example of how things are better today than they were yesterday. How about one for each day of the year? In his engaging and informative new book, Up!, David Niven, the best-selling author of the 100 Simple Secrets series (more than a million copies sold in the U.S. alone), gives us 365 examples of how life is better now than ever before. We think we’re running out of time—but we actually live twice as long as our great-grandparents did. We think our culture is in decline—but worldwide IQ scores are higher today than ever before. We think life keeps getting harder—but the percentage of people who feel happy is growing every year. Well researched and full of insight, Up! not only proves that life today is a vast improvement from the past but also that it continues to get better with each passing day. For those who need convincing or for those who need reminding, Up! is a great resource for appreciating how far we’ve come and realizing that, in all ways, things are truly looking Up!

Now You See Me, Now You Don't
Although this is a work of fiction which took place in the late 1940's, it could happen in any small town, at any time. A small town is turned upside down with fear...fear of a strangler who stalks the town at night, leaving his defenseless prey dead! The Marshall and his deputy son are caught in a situation they would have never dreamed would happen in their community. They were now in search of a killer...a serial killer who is seeking out only women to be his victims and leaving no clues. Women who had lived in Rivertown all of their lives, all friends and neighbors. Another lifelong friend, George Marsh, the only lawyer in town, is called on to defend the suspect. He has no choice but to defend the person. When the Marshall finally gets a break, is it enough to prove his suspect is guilty? The decision would be left entirely in the hands of the jury.
