It takes a guilty bastard to make a justified bitch. When a severed finger shows up on her doorstep in a seedy section of Las Vegas, Helen Taylor does not freak out. She’s already crazy, as evidenced by her junk-stuffed house and its ever-growing population of cats. There’s also Bobby, her long-dead husband. Helen talks to him regularly, and Bobby talks back. The finger and the brutal murder it reveals are more than a hoarding cat lady with a phantom husband can ignore. Helen’s a suspect, and she ends up in jail. Summoned by the detective on the case, Helen’s sister Pat arrives from Phoenix with two teen-age boys in tow. While Helen is AWOL from a mental facility, another gruesome murder is discovered. Pat, the boys, and the detective struggle to separate fact from insanity, but it takes power beyond the ordinary to bring the truth to light.

The Justified Vision is a compilation of all my works from my teenage years to adulthood. I write about what I have experienced, what I've seen, my beliefs in life, my trials, my tribulations, and a message in some cases, to those who will listen. Most of my poems are true stories, true events, true feelings. I have seen some dark days. I have seen the very gates to hell. I have been through events that could break a person down mentally. But as with any experience that you survive, strength is always the end result. I have always believed in justified living. Living life knowing that the sands of time will eventually diminish. Life is poetry. Every line, every word has a meaning that adds to the beauty of the work. Live it justified. Live your life with a purpose and reason. Everything you do in life will affect you and others around you whether you believe it or not. I hope in some way this book touches your life and helps you understand what I mean by "Live life Justified". I hope that it gives you inspiration and clarity to the turbulence within your experience by seeing what I have gone through. Most of all I hope you enjoy the vision and the spirit behind each one of my poems.

Three Comedies features the work of three dramatic geniuses of the glorious, no-holds-barred tradition of ancient Athenian comedy. Here Aristophanes, the eight-hundred-pound gorilla of Old and Middle Comedy meets Menander, elephant in the room of New Comedy, in a match made possible by Douglass Parker--if not Athenian exactly, or even ancient, possibly the maddest chameleon ever to absorb the true colors of an ancient choral song, transpose a lost pun, or channel a venerable, giant, dung-eating cockroach for the benefit of those who couldn’t be there the first time. Timothy J. Moore offers concise and informative introductions and notes to Parker’s brilliant translation of Aristophanes' fantastical Peace and Money, the God and Menander’s lively, domestic Samia--and includes, as a bonus, Parker's James Constantine Lecture at the University of Virginia, "A Desolation Called Peace: Trials of an Aristophanic Translator."

A scorching Las Vegas summer is about to get even hotter. Aspiring journalist Copper Black has just found out that her boyfriend is responsible for his not-quite-ex-wife’s pregnancy. An unexpected house-sitting job at a notorious Las Vegas “party house” should provide not only a private swimming pool but also much-needed distraction.

Now involved in a high-profile murder investigation, Copper turns to her brother, a civic-minded pastor who is overseeing the construction of a center for the homeless. A Paiute medicine man claims the site is a sacred burial ground, attracting hordes of protesters. As she tries to solve the murder, help her brother, advance her career, and sort out her love life, Copper stirs up a world of trouble. Her escapades as she evades a sociopath, a disturbed cowgirl, and a suspicious homicide detective make Megan Edwards’ rousing debut Getting Off on Frank Sinatra a nonstop roller coaster of a read.

But her dual life is turned upside down when she meets the last living kadaitcha (aborigine mystic) man and his totem a ten-meter salt water crocodile called the Great One. Upon returning from a field trip Dr. Zoe Waringi-Quinn learns her father had been killed by a hit and run drunk driver who is a Australian Senator.

She decides the justice system is broken and resolves to keep removing bad people. Homicide Detective Saul Alpert, who is on her trail, offers her the opportunity to join a mysterious assassination organization that removes people for money. Otherwise he will see her behind bars. To make things worse she finds herself whisked away by an aborigine mystic, Bill Gidgiwarra, to a remote part of Western Australia where he introduces her to a frightful giant ten-meter salt water crocodile. Is it a dream or is it real? Zoe feels like she’s fallen down the rabbit hole and has become Zoe-in-Wonderland. The story expands to her surreal world of assassination and her being able to dream travel, which could either help her or kill her.
