Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years into the future, a united collection of Mexican drug cartels are about to invade Arizona, led by a charismatic but psychotic leader. After years of intense and meticulous preparation, which included paying off or killing all the right people on either side of the border, the cartel is ready to make its move. Before the U.S. government can seal the border, hundreds of thousands of cartel men infiltrate the country as far north as Phoenix. Enter Mac, a ten-year-old boy with unlimited potential and incredible gifts to offer the world. But these gifts stem from an unthinkable childhood; he was molded by cruel and neglectful parents in an effort to enhance his unparalleled capabilities. The harsh tests inflicted by his parents consist of a series of elaborate punishments, seemingly inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's quotation: "That, which does not kill us, makes us stronger." It is during one of these tests, stranded in the Mexican desert, that Mac stumbles upon an ancient codex by a pre-colonial Spanish philosopher, whose parched pages contain the secret to achieving a perfect utopian society out of a self-destructive mankind. Representing the inverse morality, the cartel will stop at nothing to destroy the codex and the child that holds it. The hunt is on. About the Author: Michael "Mac" Centuori is about to graduate from the University of Arizona with a degree in Latin American studies and a minor in Spanish. Raised in Phoenix, he now lives in Tucson. He is working on the sequel, The Throw Away Kids. Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/MichaelMacCentuori

Book excerpt: This “irresistible” police procedural “bares the New Orleans underbelly few tourists get to see” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). NYPD detective Neil Hockaday has traveled to the Big Easy, hometown of his wife, African-American actress Ruby Flagg. Her family was driven from their home long ago by an evangelical church and fell on hard times, but Ruby fled and found a life for herself in New York. And this won’t be a peaceful visit for Hock. In a city famed as much for its corruption as its cuisine, he’ll become entangled in a web of not only family secrets but also politics and murder, dealing with a preacher, a scamming alderman, and even some voodoo, with only a little time left over to attend a jazz funeral or take in the other city sights . . . “Intelligent . . . sharp-witted and perceptive.” —Susan Isaacs, author of Compromising Positions “Compelling.” —Los Angeles Times “Marvelous characters.” —The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)

But with constant attempts to thwart her work, Louise ends up under siege in her own home. Will she succeed or is their fate sealed forever?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From time to time, we find ourselves trapped in a lie. Instead of risking conflict, we go along with the narrative while giving up something of ourselves and empowering the liar. Judge Samuel A. Harding is a truth seeker, a justice who imposes sentences. While Sam may have instigated the breakup by lying to Kate, she lied first, and he has proof. No further discussion is necessary. Still, there are times when he feels a little guilty for not confronting her all those years ago. Dr. Anna Katjea Moyer helps people find truth and peace in their lives but discounts many of her own upsets. After all, she's been in therapy off and on for several years. And she is a psychologist. Yet every time Kate returns to Stockdale, she feels like a child and finds herself emotionally bound by deep-seated family constraints. If it weren't for the restoration of the Gathering Place and the Country Club, she wouldn't go back. But that's a lie, and confronting the liar may prove dangerous for the people she loves.

Here, parents can learn what to do, and what not to do, to avoid bitter tragedy in such cases. Judges, lawyers, guardians and mediators will also find this book enormously educational and useful. The ten cases in this book have been culled from years of experience as a court-appointed child custody evaluator. Commentaries at the end of each chapter offer analyses and concrete, practical information for parents in similar situations.
