Play a song for me... Musicians are being murdered in New Orleans, but Arnie Watson apparently died by his own hand. When Tyler Anderson plays the saxophone he inherited from Arnie, he believes he sees visions of his friend's life--and death. He becomes convinced Arnie was murdered and that the instrument had something to do with it, and with whatever's happening all over the city... Tyler knows his theory sounds crazy, so he approaches Danni Cafferty, hoping she and Michael Quinn will find out what the cops couldn't. Or wouldn't. After all, Cafferty and Quinn have become famous for solving unusual crimes. They're partners in their personal lives, too. Quinn's a private investigator and Danni works with him. When they look into the case, they discover a secret lover of Arnie's and a history of jealousies and old hatreds that leads them back to the band Arnie once played with--and Tyler plays with now. And they discover that, sometimes, the line between passion and obsession is hard to draw...

Sacred Ground is the sequel to Death’s Bright Angel, Part One: The Prophecy. The novel incorporates characters from both the Blackthorn and Silverwood Trilogies., tying together all of the author's previous novels. There are two Time Streams: 2016 and 2018/19, so the past and present are juxtaposed. As the story opens, Dr. Glen Abbott has awakened from a coma following surgery to remove a benign lesion from his brain, only to realize that he is now living two plus years in the past (2016). His young daughter, Hannah, after her transformation into the supreme spiritual being, Gaia Magni, during Samhain, The First Rite of Winter (2018), has sent him back in time to relive a portion of his life over again to free him from the heartbreak and despair of losing his wife and daughter. But there are numerous challenges ahead for Abbott as he attempts to navigate his way through his second life with knowledge of the future before him. Gaia Magni is the fulfillment of a Druid Prophecy. A supreme spiritual being, she is charged with restoring harmony and balance to Nature and preventing an Apocalypse, a Sixth Extinction Level Event (ELE) as the result of humanity’s relentless assault on Mother Earth. Armed with the Wisdom of the Ancients and the power of Dark Energy, Gaia Magni is truly omnipotent with powers unimaginable. She begins her campaign to rescue Earth and the Biosphere by first demonstrating her power to the world by affecting a global blackout that turns the Earth into a Black Marble. Though an “enlightened spirit”, Gaia Magni makes it clear to everyone that she is prepared, if necessary, to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth in order to protect the millions of other species in the Biosphere on the brink of extinction as a result of humanity’s wanton destruction of the natural world. But there are those in governments and billion-dollar corporations who vigorously oppose the Rules of Natural Law that Gaia Magni has imposed and resist The Way Forward. They are intent on keeping their wealth and power at all costs, even if it means the end of humanity...

"Once Upon a Time in the West was the movie that made me consider filmmaking."-Quentin Tarantino Sergio Leone's film Once Upon a Time in the Westset out to be the ultimate Western--a celebration of the power of classic Hollywood cinema, a meditation on the making of America and a lament for the decline of one of the most cherished film genres in the form of a "dance of death." With this film, Leone said a fond farewell to the noisy and flamboyant world of the Italian Western, which he had created with A Fistful of Dollars and sequels, and aimed for something much more ambitious--an exploration of the relationship between myth ("Once Upon a Time..."), history ("...in the West") and his own autobiography as an avid film-goer. This would be a horse opera in which the arias aren't sung, they are stared. Once Upon a Time has since inspired several generations of filmmakers worldwide. Its combination of "film about film" with an angry historical epic, told with great style, has resonated for half a century, and its reputation has steadily grown. This book, by the world-renowned authority on Sergio Leone, Christopher Frayling, includes revealing personal interviews with all the key players involved in the movie (in front of the camera and behind it) a wealth of never-before-published documents, designs and photographs, and the latest research into the making of a masterpiece, shot by shot. It is introduced with a foreword by Quentin Tarantino. This year is the 50th anniversary of Once Upon a Time in the West and this richly illustrated book is a suitably spectacular birthday tribute.
