Telly Finkle is a young, plain, slender brown snake that lives in a deep, quiet hole under a smooth, flat gray rock. Telly doesn't have many friends in the forest. One reason is because Telly smells awful. None of the animals in the forest know that Telly is afraid of water, but what everyone does know is that the main reason Telly can't keep a friend is because he loves to tattle. With the help of a dark green bullfrog named Willard Warts, Telly finds what it means to be a friend while conquering his fear of water.
When an elephant saved Sally Henderson's life in Botswana, it was to change her irrevocably. A passion to conserve this majestic species was ignited, and in 1990 she left Australia to join an elephant research project in the wilds of Zimbabwe. What follows is a remarkable journey into the world of Africa's elephants, and a deeply personal memoir of one woman's awakening and the choices she makes to follow her calling. Sally paints a rare and unforgettable portrait of a Herd and its matriarchs, and the perils they face in an unforgiving landscape further torn apart by civil strife. But it is the daily pleasures of being in their mighty presence that gives her story its countless wonders. Beautifully written, Silent Footsteps is a love letter to the spirit of Africa and a jubilant portrayal of the lives of elephants.
Sting of Justice portrays an American war hero pushed to extreme measures by his perception that violent criminals are destroying the country he's sworn to protect. U.S. Navy Commander Rick Rickman, a fast-tracking F/A-18 Hornet Squadron Executive Officer, returns from cruise and is forced to confront the ugly realities of street life in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. FBI Special Agent Kurt Clemens, his old Navy flying buddy, becomes increasingly concerned about his former wingman's secret intentions. If you were Commander Rickman and justice failed you, what recourse might you take? The novel is a wild ride intended for mature-minded readers - as well as the story of a strong woman fighting to regain the lost intimacy of her marriage - that is sure to stimulate controversy and entertain. Sting of Justice will strike a powerfully responsive chord among Americans frustrated with predatory men, lenient prison policies and impotent death penalty statutes.
