Dell is finished with her mystery novel,Where’s Eddie,and polishing it for publication.

Where’s Eddie?

          Where is Eddie? Five months after a disastrous accident in the wilds of the Cascade Mountains in western Washington State, Mckenzie McMurray has been unable to accept her husband’s death. She regressed into denial as she recuperated from the accident in her childhood home, the town’s fabled Ghost House, with her grandfather, G Mac.

            Then she starts a new job and meets a man who resembles Eddie. Both seem too good to be true. They are. A strange set of events begin to rip apart her world. She has to “find Eddie.” In doing that, she is invaded not only by her childhood spirit friend, Widow Mary, but by real people like Kurt Williams, Beth, and the Jones Attorneys.

At the same time, Dell is working on an autobiography.

 

From Limeades to Margaritas

            Life’s sweet memories, seasoned with a dip of acidity, inspired my memoir, From Limeades to Margarita. I became friends with Dick, Jane, Spot and Aristotle as well as others as I grew up. I attended eleven different schools and lived in forty-four houses in all parts of our country. As a teenager I drank limeades instead of cokes. At the age of thirty, I had my first alcoholic beverage; I was again drawn to Limeades. How could I not be acerbic in my Memoirs?

Ruth McIntyre-Williams

Ruth has published two novels, Clovenstone and Stones Seven, and is working on a third novel for her adventure series, Clovenstone Chronicles.

            Ah, Clovenstone! The mystical, mythical ancient stone of power that gives the right to rule Kildonan. But it’s not that easy. You must hold one of the Seven Stones to even hope for power. Is there really a Clovenstone? Where are the Seven Stones?

            An herbalist, a couple of magicians, an elf, an out-of-work professional warrior, a poetic bard, and a deposed king fall in together and form a troupe of traveling performers, the Nonesuch Players. The Players wander Kildonan giving shows in villages and castles for vegetables, chickens, small coins—and tales that are told. They seek to prove the ancient prophecies and rule the land. They are trapped on a burning ship, stranded in flooding caves, lost in sucking swamps, attacked by ogres and night creatures. Can they all survive? Will they ever rule Kildonan?

            The Clovenstone Chronicles books are available at Amazon.com and other online book companies, can be ordered at any bookstore, or can be bought from Ruth.

Stephen P. Matava

Steve has published two historical novels, Legacy of a Priest and Legacy of a Dream. He is presently working on a murder mystery.

 

Legacy of a Priest

          The novel begins in a small town in Slovakia. The time was 1849 when the power of the Roman Catholic Church was declining. A young priest was sent to a broken-down abbey to restore the influence of the church. He started the building process, when he finds a newborn baby boy on the church steps. Thus begins the tale of the Janek family. The priest raises the boy in the abbey and prepares him for the priesthood. But the boy falls in love with a woman whose parents own a horse farm. The women becomes pregnant, and the young man leaves the abbey and marries her. They have five sons and one daughter. The book tells of life in the small country, the problems, the loves and desires of this and future generations. The family works hard. The oldest son decides to leave his place of birth and go to America where he can find a better life.

 

Legacy of a Dream

          This is a sequel to the novel above. The sons of Johan Janek came to America and settled in the small town of Cohoes, New York. The oldest sailed across the ocean first, and saved his money so he could bring the rest of the family over. Work was hard in the textile mills. With broken families all around them, the Janeks began their lives in poverty. But they kept their family together and prospered. This is a story of loyalty, devotion, and sacrifice for the good of the children. They educated their children and the sons went to war for their adopted country. They dealt with the tragedy when one son did not return home and they bonded together in support of each other. It is a tale of family values carried across the ocean and instilled in the children of future generations.

 

Two new novels are due to be released in January: Tatra Conspiracy and Grissom's Inferno.

 

          Steve’s books are available at Amazon.com and other online bookstores. They also can be ordered from any bookstore, or be bought from Steve.
