” my grandmother's work, who was born in the 1800’s and attended the National Training School for Cookery in London She went on to work in some fine houses in London and also in Edinburgh, before stopping in the 1920’s. The recipes are taken from her training school notes, her own writings, and magazine and newspaper clippings that she kept from that period. The spellings and grammar from that period may be a little different from the way we do things today, but there should not be anything that cannot be understood.

This is the situation he faced, as a pastor in Germany in the 1930's and 40's, during Hitler's rise to power. …the thoughtful minister's ideas on God and government, and what it may mean when Christians must chose to be obedient to one and not the other, are terribly needed in America in 2013.”

Cotton and Silk
”Their perilous mission involves crossing the enemy-held Pacific, infiltrating the Japanese homeland, and escaping through exotic Mongolia and Siberia. And even if they have the cunning, courage, and luck to pull off the heist and save America from defeat, in the end they’ll need something more to save themselves.”
“Rachel, Janie, and Justin (trained by his father and uncle as a survivalist) are back--this time in wilderness Alaska where they battle bears, bad guys, and nature's fury. The Prophet of the polygamous cult of Sheba Hill reaches out from prison to have the Lemon twins kidnapped and transported to Whitehorse in the Yukon where he has established his new God's Way Temple. He still considers the girls his double portion from God and he wants them waiting for him when he's released on appeal. And the Prophet pays extra to make certain their companion Justin Patrick, whom he hates for rescuing the twins in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains, is eliminated and buried deep in Alaska's Yuktapah Preserve. A long-dormant volcano explodes; earthquakes gobble up canyons, lakes, and rivers; and grizzly sows and boars make it clear they can't be controlled. The pressure on the three teenagers never lets up. Each time they think they've gained the victory, they encounter new and more difficult obstacles.”
The first in the series, RUNAWAY TWINS (Runaway Twins series #1), was listed here before too. It is also an escape story involving wilderness survival.

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
The Divide
”This novel is a utopian vision. After gridlock on the roads, immigration spiralling out of control, and the obesity epidemic gripping the nation; the UK closes its borders to the outside world in the year 2026. Seventy four years later in the year 2100, the President of The United States of America becomes the first invited guest to visit the shores. He discovers a new world, a world without oil, a country reshaped by rising sea levels, and 'The Divide', a shipping channel similar to the Seuz Canal which has split the nation. This is his story as seen through his eyes, during his three day visit to The Promised Land.“
”Action filled apocalyptic prepping tale that illustrates 'Too much, too, little, too late." Violence, language, adult situations. 'Disaster' is a novel about an average, middle class family that belatedly realizes society is on the verge of collapse. They take a number steps to prepare for the coming disaster, but make mistakes with horrific consequences. Along with others, they discover there is more to prepping than buying supplies. The Henderson family is racing toward a confrontation with reality. A high-speed train wreck with few survivors.”

2045: A Story of Our Future
“Global warming, environmental degradation, the rapid pace of technological innovation, and the economic stresses of globalization give rise to much speculation about the future. How will these dynamic factors affect society in the coming decades? In this dystopian novel, environmental expert Peter Seidel has created a stark and haunting vision of a world on the near horizon. Carl is a small-town midwestern businessman who is accidentally put into a coma when he receives an inadequately tested vaccine. When he finally regains consciousness, he discovers that it is the year 2045 and his unusual medical story and recovery have turned him into an international celebrity. As he visits family and friends, he finds out that almost everything has gone wrong and the family business he ran thirty-five years ago has disappeared. Carl s fame lands him a job on a seemingly idyllic tropical island with one of the eight giant international corporations that own almost everything. …During a business trip, he discovers something that horrifies him and turns him in a new direction, one beset with life-threatening dangers. Seidel skillfully projects a wide range of current trends into a believable and disturbing near-term future scenario.“
