Alex Gideon is America's heartthrob. His eight movies have been box office smashes, he is rich and handsome, and he has millions of adoring fans. But all is not well. He needs to get away from the pressure of stardom, the demands of his sleazy manager, the Hollywood starlets, and his smothering fans. But where can he go? He disguises himself and sneaks off, unannounced, to the most remote, quiet, peaceful, out-of-the=way place he can find -- Okoboji, in Iowa. Much to his surprise, Alex soon finds the Okoboji is an upbeat summer resort area with beautiful lakes, offbeat locals, partying tourists, and lots of action. And the zany Summer Games, sponsored by the mythical University of Okoboji, are underway. Goodbye, quiet getaway.

A tale of greed, deceit, mystery, and murder - where things are rarely what they appear to be and where there are many surprises as the story unfolds. Set in the Okoboji resort area of Iowa. Gatlin Guthrie was on a business trip and stopped at the Okoboji resort area in Iowa for a few days of rest and relaxation. By chance, Guthrie meets three scheming opportunists who sense that Guthrie has some huge business deal and they want in on it. They discover what Guthrie is up to and set in motion a plan that will net them millions of dollars in less than a week, if it works. The three opportunists aren't the only ones with a plan, however. A voluptuous blonde and a long-legged redhead suddenly appear in Okoboji and set their sights on Gatlin Guthrie, but why? A death occurs. Was it murder or was it not? Just when it appears that everything in this tale is perfectly clear, it takes an unexpected turn, and then another, and then another.

If you believe in God, then you most likely also believe that when your time on earth is finished, your soul will spend eternity in either heaven or hell. Heaven is described as a glorious place free from worry and suffering where everything is perfect. Hell is described as a place of great pain, misery, and despair. No doubt, you would prefer to spend your eternity in heaven. But, what must you do to enter heaven?

Iowa Great Lakes Recording Company, Located in Milford, Iowa was one of the first professional recording studios established in the upper Midwest. The studio was furnished with equipment similar to that used in other recording studios throughout the United states in that era, including an Ampex three-track recording machine. In July, 1965, just weeks after IGL Recording Company opened for business, Dee Jay and the Runaways recorded nine songs including “Peter Rabbit.” A few months later, “Peter Rabbit” became a regional hit and the song was leased to Mercury Records for national distribution. When “Peter Rabbit” became a national hit, bands and individuals from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and other states flocked to IGL Recording Company to try to capture some of that same magic. This book describes the history and musical contributions of Iowa Great Lakes Recording Company. More than that, the book is a tribute to the many talented musicians and singers who created musical magic at IGL Recording Company and to their musical legacy that lives on.

Have you ever looked at a coin in the palm of your hand and wondered where it has been, what it has seen and heard, and what stories it could tell? Well, in a nutshell, that is what PENNY is about as this very special one-cent piece passes through the hands of ordinary people, the famous, the infamous, the saints, and the sinners and hangs out in churches, honkytonks, and everywhere in between. This book tells the stories of the people whose hands PENNY passes through. Why is this particular penny so special? Well, because it was the final penny ever minted of 95% copper, on October 22, 1982. After that, all one-cent pieces are pathetic and puny, consisting of 97.5% zinc with only a touch of copper thrown in. That’s why. After reading PENNY, you might never again be able to pass by a penny lying on the ground without at least giving a thought to picking it up and putting it in your pocket. Every book should be dedicated to someone or something, and this book is dedicated to the penny pinchers of the world. Okay, also to the penny hoarders. PENNY is Peter Davidson’s twenty-eighth published book.
