Not Fade Away
Jim Dodge
Literature & Fiction / Poetry

Memories of Hel
Jason Dodge
After a merciless enemy boards her cargo hauler, Captain Kasha Eaves is forced to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life - she withdraws her distress call.“DCCS Memories of Hel to any vessel within range – this ship is to be considered hostile. Repeat – the Memories of Hel is hostile. Destroy on sight.”However, her crew's fight for survival and freedom has barely begun.Except for His miraculous birth and His appearance in the holy temple at age twelve, the life of Jesus as a child has been a well-guarded secret, cloaked in mystery. The few accounts of his childhood that were circulated in the first century following His murder were deemed heretical by the self-proclaimed "fathers of the church," along with many of His more esoteric teachings. Then, in the mid-nineteenth century, by pure chance (or act of God?), ancient manuscripts buried away in caves for millennia to protect them from destruction by these purveyors of catholic doctrine were found. One of these, The Infancy Gospel of Thomas, recounts stories about the childhood of Jesus of Nazareth which give insights into His powers as well as His temperament as a young boy. It is upon these accounts - plus numerous other religious tracts, both canonical and mystic - that this fictionalized story of Jesus' early life, the secret life of God as Man, is based. Told largely from the Christ's own point of view, and from that of those closest to him, it shows a side of Jesus we need to know, to fully appreciate who He is and what He has done for us.

Colby is hired by the beautiful, red-headed Pancha Porter, who is making her first visit to Bolivia, to investigate a series of mysterious thefts and accidents at her lead and silver mine in San Martín Coquellache.

Larkspur
Part #1 of "A Lark Dodge Mystery" series by Sheila Simonson
Lark Dailey faces a weekend at the mountain lodge of
her mother’s mentor, poet Dai Llewellyn, without enthusiasm, but Lark’s
detective-lover Jay finds the proximity of a notorious pot-farm interesting.
The setting, a remote Sierra lake, is idyllic, perfect for canoeing and
wind-surfing, not to mention fireworks. Neither Lark nor Jay expects the Fourth
of July to end in murder.
Surrounded by old friends, ex-lovers, devoted
servants--and someone who does not love him--the poet collapses. He has been
poisoned by tincture of larkspur in his Campari. The irony is not lost on Lark,
whose bookstore is called Larkspur Books, nor on Jay, who is tapped to
investigate.
Jay’s investigation is complicated by the murder of
two key witnesses and by bizarre embellishments in all three killings. The
embellishments suggest that something less straightforward than greed is
driving the killer, something like madness. The tangle of suspicion widens to
include not only the poet’s weekend guests but even Lark’s charming,
book-loving clerk.
Lark worries that her mother, who comes to town after
the San Francisco funeral, may be in danger too,
because someone does not like poets, and Mary Dailey, a noted poet, is
Llewellyn’s literary executor. Her co-executor may have his own reasons for
wanting to control the relics of Dai Llewellyn’s past. As Jay awaits a search
warrant, a cocktail party of survivors gathers to honor Lark’s mother, and Lark
determines to crash it in time to prevent another poisoning. Unfortunately,
she’s not sure who the murderer is.

David Dodge
Freddy Farr, a weak-willed American playboy, is in Monaco, and his yacht, the Angel, commanded by Blake - almost the only man he trusts - is anchored in the harbor. Among Freddy’s guests are Valentina, a beautiful Polish blonde, and Bruno and Laura di Lucca. A girl called Marian gets aboard the Angel by a trick and after her comes Holtz, a killer with a fixed determination to get a fortune from Freddy. At the point of Holtz’s gun Blake is forced to take the Angel to sea.What happened then is David Dodge’s story, urgent with breathless incident and terse, realistic dialogue, against the ‘hiss of wind-driven rain and the roar of waves riding hard on the sea-wall’. It is as tense and exciting as To Catch a Thief, the best-selling novel which had the same Riviera setting.

The Lights of Skaro
David Dodge
Jess Matthews, a fully accredited American foreign correspondent, had come into the People’s Free Federal Republic in comfort on the Orient Express. But events had moved too swiftly in the Balkans and now he was trying to escape from that terrorized country by masquerading as a peasant driving a herd of goats. He had come in alone. Going out -- if he was ever to get out -- he had company: Cora Lambert, a high-voltage American newspaper woman, who was equally in trouble. For Jess and Cora had learned a secret that could destroy Bulic, head of the dreaded Security Police, and to Bulic it was a choice of his life or theirs. Jess had decided their only chance of survival was to head for the frontier at the border town of Skaro -- with the Security Police hot on their heels. Adventure piled on adventure, escape on hair-breadth escape. Mile by mile the two correspondents made their way toward the hoped-for lights of freedom, hiding in gutted farmhouses, riding in a Model T truck full of singing girls and, finally, creeping into the darkened graveyard above the brightly lit frontier river -- just short of safety.
To Dodge a Duke (Entangled Nobility Book 2)
Naomi Boom
When a duke gets a chance to pursue a lady as someone else, he would be a fool not to take it.
Logan Eastworth, the Tenth Duke of Waking, returns to England to find a woman to marry. When Miss Eleanor Ashford assumes he holds the title of baronet, he does not correct her error. Instead, he plays on her misconception and arranges a house party where he can make her fall for him and not his title.
Miss Ashford desires a marriage of convenience to an earl or higher. Not to some low-life baronet with an estate in the far reaches of England. She has no time for love, even if the green-eyed baronet with a charming smile tries to convince her otherwise.
Miss Ashford has a choice to make. To wed a duke or the baronet setting her heart aflame. Her choice might not be as simple as she believes.
