A memoir by the author of her survival in a detention camp in Czechoslavia after WWII. The people of Czecheslovakia saw an opportunity to rid their country of Germanism after the signing of the peace treaty of May 5, 1945.  People of German descent were rounded up and detained. Many were tortured and killed on the spot by marauding, self appointed militia men.  Roughly three and a half millions Germans were removed from Czechoslovakia that year.

“In the beginning, Bob didn’t plan to start a religion; it just happened.” So begins a wild and fantastic ride through the fictional Free Nation, satirizing religious fanaticism, politics, and human fumbling. The plot is driven by a host of quirky characters: Bob, a blank slate living in the Northwest Region to who is ordered by God to take dictation for a new book; nineteen-year-old Sophia Wise, whose life’s goal is to cover her entire body with tattoos; Roland Brand, a chameleon whose ascension to power becomes progressively more outrageous; Lakshmi Jackson, Sophia’s best friend who feels like a “kite without a string;” Ivan Bunt, a wheelchair-bound veteran, given to colorful declarations in a language all his own; Delbert Thorne, the Chosen Leader of the Free Nation, who is on a continually fruitless search for a Secretary of Religion, and bears a striking resemblance to another world leader we know. The Book of Bob is a welcome balm to social and political progressives who need a good laugh.

Sir Francis Drake is freely conceded to be one of the greatest of all English seamen by world historians. He was the first captain to navigate a vessel completely around the globe, and is credited with masterminding the naval tactics that contributed to the devastation of the Spanish galleon fleet in 1588. Controversy and conflicting documentation have surrounded Drake's voyage up the Pacific Coast of North America, but author Donald Viles' sea background enabled him to solve an ancient archeological mystery at Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain.

A recommend read by Ann Rule. This story was shown on CBS 60 minutes. A true crime story, Plague of Justice is written by the murder victim's son. This story portrays a 14-year long distressing ordeal of frivolous litigation brought on by the convicted killer. The victim's son tells the story of his father s murder. After a seven month investigation, with the help of the victim's son, detectives exposed the culprits, the ring leader being his father's CPA, who was running his dad's accounting practice at the time. At first glance, the brutal murder of 49-year-old James Turel looked like the clumsy handiwork of a burglar, but there was more - much more - to the wealthy businessman's homicide. Greed, jealousy, resentment...all the ingredients to make this read like an Agatha Christie novel.

Yachats author Prue Warren may have discovered the secret to cultivating a literary adventure in her newest book, "Secrets of Wickham Lane," a juvenile mystery featuring a host of colorful characters led by heroine, Jessie, and Wickham, the cat. Fashioned as a sequel to Warren's first novel, "Heart's Desire Cottage," published in 2006, Secrets is full with puzzles that test time perceptions, spooky stairways, secret tunnels, wacky characters, and mysterious passageways.


While Jessie and her friends - Tommy, Uncle Mac, and Mrs. Merryweather - collaborate on solving the mysteries of the strange old family cottage, they uncover more plots and surprises at every twist and turn. The rambling old cottage is filled with tricks and tricksters. Wickham and feline friend, Trouble, stir up additional animal activity. Jessie's Aunt Carpathia seems to possess very unusual abilities, a passion for globetrotting, and who knows when she will suddenly appear?


These delightful ingredients that Warren crafts into this story makes this book hard to put down. While she targets younger readers, it is an imaginative read for any age group, Warren says, "Kids can appreciate the way young Jessie, Tommy and their friends solve puzzles with imagination and spunk."


--By Barbara B. Covell, for the Newport Oregon News-Times


The author adds, "Although youngsters can enjoy the two books by themselves, I intended the stories to be fun
for grandparents to share with children, remembering their own childhood games and adventures."
