Hoax
Keith Colvin was a successful, middle-aged business man who seemed to have everything in the world the way he wanted it. He loved his kayaking adventures in Colorado, skiing in New England, and piloting his own plane wherever he wanted to go. He was an ex-navy S.E.A.L who loved to dive all over the world and supported his favorite charitable cause Doctors without Borders. The man seemed to have it all until he disappeared one Sunday afternoon off Mount Washington, leaving a suicide note saying that he had gone in search of his "Final Resting Place." When it is discovered that Mr. Colvin left behind a string of indictments for embezzlement; the U.S. Marshal Service gives the case to one of their finest agents, Michael Rodela. It is no longer a matter of guilt or innocence. It is a matter of life and death. Keith Colvin was the man who had everything to live for but gave it all up in an instant. Or did he?

Careers in Music Librarianship III

The Storyteller
Keri Cleary is worried about her brother, Alistair. Everyone is worried about Alistair. As the one witness to a shooting, he has been shocked into silence. But everyone needs to know three things: Who shot Kyle Dwyer? Where is Charlie Dwyer? What does this all have to do with the disappearance of Fiona Loomis? Perhaps the answers lie in stories. As Alistair makes strange confessions to his sister, Keri becomes inspired. She tells stories, tales that may reveal hidden truths, fiction that may cause real things to happen. In the concluding volume of the Riverman Trilogy, readers are asked to consider the source of inspiration, the borders of reality and the power of storytelling. They are asked to forgive monsters, to imagine alternate dimensions, and to believe in a phosphorescent wombat who assures us that gone for now is not necessarily gone for good.
