FINAL STRAW
Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker’s job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it.

FINAL WARNING
Despite Logan’s objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods.

Sexual harassment is looking better and better.

Lessons from the Gypsy Camp
The year is 1955. Eisenhower is president, the McCarthy hearings are over, and Lolly Candolin has given her father an ultimatum: “Stop drinking or I’ll cut my hair.” Her father, refusing to have his life controlled by a ten-year-old child, retaliates by tossing Lolly’s aged cat, Bo, from a high levee into Cougarville, a gypsy camp just outside town.
Going against everything she’s been told, Lolly ventures into the camp on her own and befriends a cast of misfits, including: Tick, a tomboy Lolly’s age; Sophia, Tick’s mother and gifted healer; and Sam, the unofficial leader of Cougarville.
Lolly and her new friends are soon caught in a maelstrom of murder and intrigue as the county sheriff is shot and killed at a local saloon. All evidence points to Sam, and Lolly’s father, the county prosecutor with everything to lose, goes after the case full bore, determined to see Sam convicted and executed.
Things become complicated for Lolly when, during a clandestine mission to warn the Cougarville residents of her father’s brutal intentions, she discovers the identity of the true killer, putting into motion a terrible dilemma that no young girl should ever have to face. Revealing her evidence will not only set an innocent man free, but will destroy both her father’s career and any chance of winning what she yearns for most: her father’s approval.

Jack discovers that his deceased father, an astro-physicist, was not only the first Earth based user of the Universe Wide Web, but also worked on its technology design, and held the security code that is at its core. This code holds the key to controlling it. But the code brings with it danger from many unscrupulous creatures trying to steal it. Jack is drawn into a series of adventures and dangers as creatures try to discover whether he knows what his father knew.
He is pursued through endless web-sites and online games, and to planets in the far corner of the universe. His life is in danger; the web is under threat. Who can Jack trust? Can he save the Universe Wide Web?

Having a Whaley of a Time : Donna Keeley
Having a Whaley of a Time
“Having a Whaley of a Time” is the first book in the Paranormal Mystery series by Donna Keeley. The books blend fact and fiction by weaving a fictional mystery that takes place in real, historical places. Documented ghosts from the location are incorporated into the story.
The series centers on former investigative reporter Shannon MacIntyre who finds she can see and speak to ghosts following a near-death experience. Being so grounded in fact it’s a difficult transition for Shannon, who tells the stories from her point of view and the sarcasm flows freely.
The first book takes the reader through Shannon’s backstory, her near-fatal heart attack, and subsequent discovery of her new abilities. She is tasked by her departed grandmother to become a voice for the spirits, to help them here on the physical plane of existence. While extremely reluctant to take on the job, Shannon decides to test out her abilities at the most haunted location in the United States – the Whaley House in San Diego, California, but her trip is sidetracked when she finds that the house is closed to tourists even during the busy summer season.
With the help of a black cat named Styx, Shannon gets her opportunity to help the spirits when the ghost of Mrs. Whaley enlists her services to recover something important. Using all of her investigative skills, Shannon takes on the challenge to help solve the mystery for the ghosts of the Whaley House and finds out that being in the middle of two worlds can be a dangerous place.
