The Killer Con
ONE CRAZY COW TOWN Clint Adams has passed through some wild cow towns in his life, but none more unusual than Chester, Utah. The welcome wagon consists of a dead body no one is willing to bury. On the most-wanted list is a retired miner who got off a lucky shot, and the sheriff is more interested in breaking the law than upholding it. At the center of it all is snake-oil salesman Henry Whiteoak. Seems the con man swindled some very valuable property away from some very dangerous people. Now, everyone wants a piece of the action—from the sheriff and his cronies and a gun-loving vixen to a gang of businessmen who bargain with lead. And it's up to the Gunsmith to teach them all why greed is one of the seven deadly sins...
Sojourners
An afterlife mixup sends a good man to Hell When Peter ends up in that long tunnel and endures a review of his life, he’s slated to go to Paradise. Instead, the afterlife machinery reverses, spitting him out into a wasteland of scrub brush and darkness. This is not Paradise In fact, the residents call it Hell Reduced to Stone Age technology, Peter and the last remaining humans struggle to survive against hellhounds and monster men. Beyond an uncrossable sea lies what appears to be a sunlit realm of fruit trees and birds, taunting them in their darkness and deprivation. Peter’s only hope of reaching that place would be the legendary Sleepers, warriors lying in state a mile beneath the mountains. The network of caves is guarded by a murderous phantasm, though, and she hungers for vengeance. To plumb the mountain’s heart and free the captives, Peter will have to fight the most devastating creature Hell has to offer.

Leaving the Dead
Leaving the Dead is a collection of eighteen stories about the long slow dance with death and the heartbreak of life—no zombies allowed.

Teaching and Testimony
By utilizing the testimonial narrative of Rigoberta Menchú—a Mayan-Quiché of Guatemala and winner of the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize—teachers in this volume engage students in vital and relevant cross-cultural learning in a variety of locations, disciplines, and levels. Teaching and Testimony tells teachers' stories of using Menchu's testimonial in their classrooms, and invites reflection on the transformative possibility of integrating previously marginalized voices. Energized by the teaching of Menchu's testimonial narrative, I, Rigoberta Menchú, these teachers let their guard down, wrestle with the immediate difficulties and possibilities of multicultural teaching, and speak with passion about the importance of what they and their students are learning.
Retribution
On September 6, 2001, I was at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas, attending a military function. That night I had a heart attack. I was released from the hospital on September 10, and my wife and I were scheduled to fly home the next day. That day was September 11, 2001. On September 11, 2001, I remember driving across Texas and not seeing a single aircraft except those of the Air National Guard. That attack was designed to weaken us. It was designed to frighten us. What it did was make us mad and give us focus. Sadly, many Americans have returned to the mentality of the pre-9/11 days. But for a moment, a brief moment…we stood together. When I started Retribution, we were still searching for Osama bin Laden. In fiction, the TAC Team found him. In reality, it was the SEALs. In both cases, he got what he deserved. The way of the warrior is to be judged by whom you call friend, and by the worthiness of your enemy. One loved, one hated; hopefully, both respected. So here is TAC Leader-Retribution. It is from the warrior in me to the warrior in you. —Bob Anderson
Written in Time
As a freelance writer, Jack Naile was used to getting an occasional letter from one of his readers, but when one of those readers sent him a clipping from a magazine, it would not only change his life, but could alter the course of history as well. The clipping had a photo, taken in Nevada in 1903, of a street scene, including a story with a sign, _Jack Naile¾General Merchandise.Ó Intrigued, Jack phoned the Nevada towns historian and asked for more information. When the historian sent him a photo of the 19th century Jack Naile, what had seemed like an interesting coincidence immediately became much more bizarre. The four people in the photo, dressed in the style of the time, were unmistakably Jack, his wife, their grown son and teenage daughter. Jack decided he would have to take a trip to that town to investigate further. And if he and his family were somehow going to travel back in time, he was going to be prepared¾and be well-armed.
