By the Book Survival
“ short fictional story about an individual living in our modern society who finds himself alone in the wilderness.

Seven Years Between is a coming of age story about a young girl's survival through personal loss and tragedy. But through it all, she learns that selfless unconditional love can nurture hearts back to health. With a colorful cast of characters, Carol overcomes obstacles with courage, humor, and perseverance.“

Spill
“On her 16th birthday the terminally-ill head of the world's largest mega-corporation puts her plan to rid the Earth of its alien overlords and avenge her father's death into motion, releasing an untested nano-engineered terror weapon against the aliens. While the aliens are chased from the planet, humanity's celebration is short-lived. Now facing a one-two punch of alien retaliation from orbit, and a rapidly evolving nano-weapon that intends to transform the Earth into something more to its liking, humanity's last hope of survival resides with a pair of cybernetically-enhanced human collaborators who are more interested in looting than saving the world. Any way you look at it, humanity is doomed.”

Whole Beast Butchery: The Complete Visual Guide to Beef, Lamb, and Pork
“Covering pork, beef, and lamb, Whole Beast Butchery is the first visual manual to teach what the newly fashionable butchers already know all the cuts on a hog, lamb, and steer, where they come from, what they look like in whole and how they come off the animal into large 'primal' cuts and get broken down into individual cuts (common and popular boutique cuts). Includes a primer on tools, techniques, handling, and resources for buying partial or whole animals direct, plus 15 master recipes for key cuts and charts for scaling recipes up/down based on poundage and guest number. “

Gorgon
A MAN-MADE PLAGUE: No disease is more deadly or more enigmatic than the genetically engineered virus known as “Saint Vitus.” Seconds after infecting its victim, the neurotoxin causes massive hemorrhaging, madness, convulsions and inevitably ... death. Experiments show the airborne virus is four hundred times more lethal as conventional neurotoxins – with characteristics that make it ideal for covert biological warfare.
A MADMAN’S PLOT: Since its unauthorized “birth,” the abomination has been the U.S. Army’s best-kept secret – until its theft. Now in the hands of Osama bin Laden’s most dangerous terrorist known only as “Gorgon,” Saint Vitus becomes a terrible weapon with truly unimaginable potential for destruction. When Gorgon targets the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, a desperate president orders all military resources directed at the virus’ destruction – even if that means unleashing a thermonuclear hell.
