It’s cute and funny when I see the turkey and chickens hanging out at Walgreens, or the occasional cow that gets out of the fence and decides to run around the neighborhood. The hitchhiking goat is even a pleasant occurrence. However.. I do NOT find the mountain lion hanging out in the planter in front of Macy’s to be funny at all. Goats and chicken I can handle. I wouldn’t dare scuffle with a goat, but I know for sure he or she wouldn’t eat me or my kids. Ya sure, in the picture that kitty looks all cute and cuddly, but we all know that critter has the teeth and claws of a LION! It’s a lion..see. For those who are concerned, the lion was tranquilized and released back into the wilderness. I betcha though Google and Facebook now have her email address and she will be getting coupons and sale ads for the rest of her life. That’ll teach her!

by Catherine Lea
Genre: Action & Adventure | Literature & Fiction | Thrillers
FREE for a limited time
She’s six years old, Down Syndrome, and lost.
Only her kidnapper can save her.
The plan is simple: kidnap the daughter of Senate candidate Richard McClaine, take the money and run. Nobody gets hurt, the kid goes home alive.
Twenty-two-year-old car thief Kelsey Money thinks it’s the worst scheme her boyfriend Matt and his drug-fueled brother have ever come up with. But Matt’s the only one Kelsey’s ever loved, the only one she’s ever trusted.
Then she discovers the part she wasn’t told – that six-year-old Holly isn’t going home alive. So, Kelsey makes a decision. And some decisions can never be undone.
Elizabeth McClaine can’t even tell the police what her daughter was wearing when she disappeared. Soon after Holly was born with Down Syndrome and a cleft palate, she was placed in the care of a nanny while her mother battled postpartum depression. But when Elizabeth learns the detective on the case has already failed one kidnapped child, she cannot fail hers.
The clock is ticking. Both women have twenty-four hours to find Holly because in twenty-five, she’ll be dead.
The Candidate’s Daughter and its sequels Child of the State and A Stolen Woman are additions to the great action and character-driven mystery and suspense thrillers in the tradition of J.D. Robb, Faye Kellerman, and Mary Higgins Clark.

FREE for a limited time
Excellence in Media “Silver Angel Award”
Virginia, the young daughter of a wealthy doctor’s family, sees her life forever altered by the Great Depression. Forced to give up her own room so that relatives can move in, her resentment at those circumstances is altered as she helps her father, who spends his spare time giving medical attention to the people of “Soo City.” Soo City is a makeshift camp near the Soo Line tracks. But her father’s goodwill clashes with powerful people who wish the camp destroyed. The violent strike of workers in the grain mill district brings tragedy to the strikers, and the father is severely wounded while helping the people of Soo City. What happens next will challenge Virginia’s fragile faith in God and man.
“In this seamless and well-researched narrative, Tatlock provides a compelling look at the Depression through a child’s eyes. At the same time, she accurately conveys the exuberance, naïveté, humor and optimism typical of young teens.” –CBA Marketplace
