Instructions for love -- Who wouldn’t want them?

DANE CANCIENNE knows how to love, but anger now fuels him. He cherished his wife, and death took her. Now he’s steeled his heart against letting another woman cause him such anguish. A fast-talking New Yorker arrives at his plantation home with instructions from her aunt, his admired housekeeper who had tried to become a matchmaker with his mother. He needs to get this beautiful stranger to leave before she softens his heart enough to make him consider taking another chance on love.

LACI WESTLAKE flies from New York to Louisiana’s bayou country for her beloved Aunt Tilly’s funeral. A stranger hands Laci an envelope with her aunt’s final request. She wants Laci to stay in her plantation home four days. Laci has held on to her job and apartment back home because her parents never held on to her. If she remains on the plantation, she could lose all she has. But the only real love she’s known came from her mischievous aunt, whose letter asks Laci to read only one page of instructions each day. Laci shows up at the plantation and finds a ruggedly handsome man living in the large house. If she remains with him, will four days be enough time for her to risk letting go of certainties and recognize that she has arrived at the perfect place and discovered the perfect man?

Al Qaeda plans to attack Minnesota's Prairie River Nuclear Power Plant as a means to return the down-trodden terrorist organization to international prominence.

In addition to their own devoted forces, the terrorists enlist some homegrown anarchists, and a Three Mile Island survivor with a pathological vendetta against the nuclear establishment, to assist in the assault.

James "Beck" Becker is a former elite U.S. government intelligence operative who has retired to his childhood hometown of Red Wing, Minnesota -- just six miles down the Mississippi from the Prairie River nuclear facility.

Possessing wisdom born of experience, Beck suspects the terrorists' intentions as soon as the body of a university professor turns up on the Mississippi shore -- the clear victim of foul play.

He recognizes connections between seemingly unrelated incidents -- the murdered agronomy professor, a missing lab assistant, an international cell call, a stolen fertilizer truck, an explosion in the street in front of City Hall -- but can't piece it together in enough detail to convince government authorities that a larger threat exists. Only his

American Indian friend, "Bull," will help Beck defuse the threat.

So it's Beck and Bull versus international terror.

May the better men win.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Speak Swahili, Dammit! by James Penhaligon

 An inspiring biographical account of a young boy’s chaotic life in a remote, wild, corner of East Africa.

Born in Africa, James’s childhood is spent on an isolated gold-mine near Lake Victoria, Tanganyika, with just his sister and mother; his father tragically dying through injuries sustained from World War II. His upbringing is mainly left to a tribal ayah called Amina and an elderly Swahili man, and he learns to speak Swahili before English.

In this unusual setting he soon discovers some stark facts about life through tragedy and danger, but it is the local watu, imbued with kindness and irrepressible humour, that save him from despair, and with whom he learns to fish with home-made lines, eat insects and famously abuse the European hierarchy in real Swahili!

Known as ‘Jimu’ to his friends, he marks out his own country with a Sukuma boy named Lutoli, falls deeply in love with the beautiful, but older, German girl Gretchen and throws himself out of the back of a bus to avoid being sent away to school.
Once at school, in Arusha, James tends to mix with other non-conformers and presents a dilemma to teachers – he is a white boy with a ‘black spirit’. His gang gets up to nefarious enterprises, bringing them into a state of permanent conflict with the system.

James is fascinated with the history of Tanganyika back to the time when it was a German Colony until 1918. The unparalleled courage of the German leader Paul von Lettow Vorbeck against the British is a beacon to the young boy of what can be accomplished against adversity

Above all James discovers the world, and life, a little by education, a lot by accident, but overwhelmingly by fate and happenstance, in circumstances few people in the developed world have experienced.
