Duty to Die, a "what-if" fictional thriller set in the not-too-distant future, comes almost too close for comfort in a society lacking a sanctity for life. Can death be packaged in such a way that it actually begins to look like a viable option for those in distress? If so, what will the consequences be for the elderly, terminally ill, and disabled? When does life end...When the body ceases to function properly? When the quality of life doesn't meet certain standards? And who has the right to make the decison...except God? Duty to Die attempts to answer all of these questions. 
The story is shockingly close to reality: Congress has enacted the "Duty to Die" law, forcing euthanasia on wide groups of children and adults who find themselves meeting the definition of "defective" according to the new law. A frightened young woman with a terminal illness, a new mother with a baby born with birth defects, a young man marked with HIV, and others fight against all odds. The "Duty to Die" law interferes with the rights guaranteed every American citizen in the Fourteenth Amendment. But who has the courage to fight this injustice? How can the raging tide be turned in time to save innocent lives?

When a $25,000 night deposit mysteriously disappears from the Clark County Savings and Loan, Annie Peterson, has reason to be concerned¾and to assume the role of amateur sleuth.

Sure, Warren occasionally jokes about robbing the bank to pay for the ceremonies, but Annie knows him better than that. . .doesn't she?

Gone with the Groom (Bridal Mayhem Mysteries)

Maybe the drug company Scott works for has hidden motives. Perhaps it's the handiwork of Otis, Scott's deceitful dad. But then again it could be the shady wedding photographer, or the "political enemies" of Scott's mother. Will Annie solve the mystery and recover the missing groom, or will she suffer "regrets only"?

Nori’s clock is ticking. Nori’s biological clock has been going off forever, it seems. Loud and clear. She tries to tell herself that she isn’t really ugly…or fat…or useless. She’s a successful entrepreneur, after all! So where are the eligible, interested men in her life? They don’t seem to exist! Zachary Martin knows he’s a nerd. He can’t even carry on a conversation with Nori without making a fool of himself—like when he choked on some candy in Nori’s store or bought the stupidest clothes to impress her. . . Man looks on the outward appearance, but God sees the heart. Will Nori and Zachary ever see themselves—and each other—the way God does? Will they trust God or their self-help books to find true love?  "A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul." Proverbs 13: 19
