The Wild Bunch, the confederation of western outlaws headed by Butch Cassidy, found sanctuary on the rugged Outlaw Trail. Stretching across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, this trail offered desert and mountain hideouts to bandits and cowboys. The almost inaccessible Hole-in-the-Wall in Wyoming was a station on the Outlaw Trail well known to Butch Cassidy. To the south, in Utah, was the inhospitable Robbers’ Roost, where Butch and his friends camped in 1897 after a robbery at Castle Gate. 
Charles Kelly recreates the mean and magnificent places frequented by the Wild Bunch and a slew of lesser outlaws. At the same time, he brings Butch Cassidy to life, traces his criminal apprenticeship and meeting with the Sundance Kid, and masterfully describes the exploits of the Wild Bunch.

There are no limits to God's capacity to surprise us.  When the Russian troops marched into Latvia for the second time during World War II, Chuck Kelly's grandfather fled with his family on a German cargo ship, a smoked ham strapped to his back.  Sixty years later, Chuck returned to Latvia to receive Latvia's highest honor, the Order of the Three Stars, for his work in the rebuilding and spiritual development of the country after the destructive decades of Communism.  No one was more surprised by this turn of events than Chuck.  Remarkably, Chuck is not a reformer, a politician, or a diplomat: like his grandfather before him, he is a minister and founder of an international Christian charity.  For more than twenty years, Chuck’s mission has been to build bridges between people, church and organizations in North America and Latvia.  Surprised by the Father's Plan is the compelling story of God's unexpected leading in the life of a man, a ministry and a nation.  A powerful example of God's redemptive faithfulness through the generations, it challenges us to recognize the surprises that God works in our own lives.

Dan J. Marlowe (1914-1986), author of The Name of the Game is Death, was one of the finest paperback suspense novelists of the 1960s and 1970s, so good that Stephen King dedicated a book to him. But Marlowe’s life was full of strange drama, some featuring his friendship with bank robber Al Nussbaum, a partner of the murderous sociopath Bobby “One-Eye” Wilcoxson. This biography interweaves the stories of Nussbaum, who became a mystery-story writer, Wilcoxson, who committed a savage murder after being released from prison, and Marlowe, who, stricken with amnesia, was haunted by the ghosts of his past, some of whom roamed the world of kinky sex. Book contains 16 photos.  “Fantastic…This biography is almost as wild, compelling, dark and surprising as one of Marlowe’s books...Highly recommended!”—Lee Goldberg, author and TV writer/producer who has scripted Diagnosis: Murder, Monk, Hunter and Spenser: For Hire.  “A brilliant biography of the great noir and hardboiled paperbacker Dan J. Marlowe, written with novelistic flair by Charles Kelly.”--James Reasoner, celebrated western/mystery writer and author of Texas Wind. Reasoner called Gunshots in Another Room one of his ten favorite books of 2012.  "I still remember buying The Name of the Game is Death on a metal spin rack when I was in college. No novel except They Shoot Horses, Don't They? had ever shocked me to the same degree. Marlowe had created a masterpiece. So has Charles Kelly."--Ed Gorman, legendary mystery writer and editor of The Big Book of Noir.  “Kelly relates (the details of Marlowe’s life) with a sharp and sympathetic eye and a hardboiled style. Informative and well-written, Gunshots in Another Room makes for quite a story.”--Woody Haut, author of Pulp Culture: Hardboiled Fiction and the Cold War, Neon Noir, and Heartbreak and Vine: The Fate of Hardboiled Writers in Hollywood.  “For anyone interested in the history of crime fiction, or the evolution and devolution of the paperback original industry, Gunshots in Another Room is an indispensable volume.”—Cullen Gallagher, in the Los Angeles Review of Books.   “(The book) demonstrates impeccable (and imaginative) research, perhaps not surprisingly since Kelly is an award-winning journalist.”—Marvin Lachman, author of A Reader’s Guide to the American Novel of Detection.  “Kelly’s delight in his subject is so palpable that we feel his excitement as if we’re handling the material ourselves…His biography unfolds like the best stories; truth that reads as fiction, containing narrative drive, setups and plenty of payoffs along the way, satisfying and literate.”—Jessica Argyle, author of Arrest Me (before I write again), on KeysNews.com.

We’ve all met people who made a difference for us, who stepped up at just the right time with advice and wisdom. Finnegan, a mysterious, congenial man who may or may not be British, is just such a person. He’s the focus of this life-changing fable:  Finnegan’s Way: The Secret Power of Doing Things Badly. Finnegan is not dispensing advice on how to grind the last bit of work out of underpaid employees. Instead, he has a life-affirming message for everyone: the manager, the employee, the lonely man seeking a relationship, the stressed-out woman seeking to lose a few pounds, the dispirited person trying to get going again. Finnegan forgives. He understands human failings. He doesn’t chide us for complaining that someone moved our cheese. Instead, he shows us a way to use our mistakes to get us where we want to go. Once you meet Finnegan, your life will never be the same again.

Finnegan's Way: The Secret Power of Doing Things Badly

A tuna-can mishap sends Dundee Blinky rocketing into oblivion…or does it? Apparently dead to the world from this and other catastrophes, he returns to earth again and again. His near-death experiences transform him, in turn, into a basket case, a feline blowhard, and a cat on the run from himself. In the end, though, he finds peace, learning a life lesson from what lies beyond.

The late Reverend C. M. Kelly witnessed thirty-four executions while he served as the chaplain for the South Carolina State Penitentiary. Sue Logue, a school teacher, was the first woman ever electrocuted in South Carolina—with a dispute over three dollars leading to eight deaths. From Sue Logue to George Stinney Jr., a fourteen-year-old black youth who was executed for the murder of two white girls—his conviction now overturned in 2014—Rev. Kelly’s powerful accounts reflect the uneven social conditions of the twenties, thirties, and forties.   In Next Stop, Eternity, author Charles Kelly shares both the history and moving personal accounts of the thirty-four executions his father C. M. Kelly witnessed during his death-house ministry in South Carolina. Rev. Kelly’s ministry had a profound effect on those who were put to death, and the hope is that these stories shine a light on the crimes and punishments of this era—an era of racial tensions and controversy about the death penalty.   As much about compassion, grace, and understanding as they are about justice, criminal history, and the law, Rev. Kelly’s stories and personal accounts—along with his son’s careful history—provide a compelling and engaging window into a charged time of American history, both social and legal. These stories illustrate the unjust racial conditions that were so prevalent during the 1940s and the extreme brutality of which human beings are capable, regardless of ethnicity, creed, or color.
