River of Light and Shadow
Summary
After mob violence threatens their lives, they flee to the wilderness During Missouri’s Mormon Wars of the mid-1800s, the Whitlock family seeks to escape mob violence on the state’s western frontier by hiding in the rugged north Missouri wilderness where the Hill Spring Trail crosses the Chariton River. Here, in constant fear of discovery, David Whitlock meets and falls in love with Suzanna Shattuck, the independent and spirited daughter of a nearby settler. Drawn together by love, divided by different worlds As David and Suzanna struggle with their growing passion for each other and with the differences that separate their families, two other figures move inescapably toward each other and the young couple. In Jefferson City, legislator Jacob Randall champions the cause of Missouri's outcasts while Sheck Rogers, a self-appointed Mormon hunter, roams the state murdering and mutilating those he suspects of belonging to a church against which the Governor has issued an extermination order. In this entrancing historical novel of love, fear, courage and redemption, two young lovers seek to find themselves and each other in Missouri’s untamed wilderness. Their families struggle to survive the politics and passions of one of the nation’s most tumultuous periods. River of Light and Shadow touches the deepest recesses of the heart while provoking, inspiring, and teaching in ways that characterize the best historical fiction.

The Whitlock Trilogy
Summary
The Whitlock Trilogy brings together in a searchable boxset the three books of award-winning author Allen Kent's popular historical fiction family saga. Set in the tumultuous 1860s and 70s of the American frontier, River of Light and Shadow, Wild Whistling Blackbirds, and Suzanna's Song reflect the energy, tension, romance, and adventure that defined the nation's westward expansion. Kent's talents as a successful writer of best-selling thrillers combines with his intense passion for historical accuracy as he propels the Whitlock family and his listeners through Missouri's bloody Mormon Wars, the fracturing years of the war between the states, and the period of greed, prejudice, and courage that shaped the opening of the West. Juliet Scherer of Yettie Publishing wrote: "I just love this whole series. So thought-provoking and thoughtfully written. Wonderful historical fiction with contemporary application for the insightful listener.

The Kraken of Cape Madre: A Creature Feature Horror Suspense
Summary
Winner: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Horror Fiction Finalist (Top 5): The Kindle Book Review Awards - Fiction - Horror/Suspense "This book flew by while I was reading because of its intense page-turning quality. The monsters, myths, and historical aspects which Miriam uncovers are the hallmarks of any great seafaring adventure, adding lots of atmosphere as the darkness and tension of the tale builds up. Along the way, the real power of the horror novel kicks in more and more, and what might seem like a slow burner soon becomes an inferno of action, terror, and frightening realities revealed." (Readers' Favorite Book Reviews) Spring break will never be the same after a legendary creature rises from the depths. It's been almost two years, but the nightmares still haunt Miriam Brooks - grisly images of her brother being slaughtered. A relaxing spring break at the beach seems like a good way to put some distance between her and the troubling past, but paradise shatters when she saves a tourist from something lurking beneath the waves. Soon, she's on the trail of a sea creature from the legends of Vikings and pirates. The fishermen of Cape Madre tell tales for the right price, and Miriam quickly learns of a string of disappearances all related to this mysterious monster. The cops and the coast guard are meant to handle the crimes of men, but Miriam's been trained to find the creatures of lore - creatures like this. Pulled back into the life she wants to forget, Miriam is the last line of defense between man and myth. Evolved Publishing presents the second book in the critically acclaimed Lorestalker series of horror stories featuring creatures of lore and dark imagination.

A Miracle at Dachau
Summary
In her book, A Miracle at Dachau, Laurin Haupt tells the riveting story of her grandfather (her Opa) and his time in the Dachau prison camp. A French gentile, Simon Johann Haupt lived a happy life in Germany with his wife and daughters, the loves of his life. But in 1933, he and some friends dared to resist the terrorism of the Third Reich destroying the fabric of their peaceful community. His subsequent arrest and imprisonment in Dachau, and the miracle that saved his life, make this one of the most compelling stories of that awful period in history. Most of us know about the atrocities by the Nazis against the Jews of Germany. Yet few know how the Third Reich turned against anyone that dared defy them, regardless of religious beliefs. Those who joined Hitler went against friends, neighbors, shopkeepers, even Catholic priests they had known their whole lives. The Nazis imprisoned or killed anyone with the courage to oppose them. Opa unfolds his story to his beloved granddaughter, Laurin, as they travel by train through Germany years after his time at Dachau. As Laurin imagined the kindly old man would have told the story, if he'd been able to bring himself to remember the horrors. This is an audiobook everyone should listen to, and Simon's story is a cautionary tale of the dangers in forgetting history.
