The series "The Adventures of Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Boo" was inspired by real animals that live in and around Marshall Township, Pennsylvania. The heroes of the stories are an unlikely pair. Bubba, a.k.a. Captain Cutie Pie, is a black cat while Boo is a miniature parrot called a parrotlet. In each story Bubba and Boo are joined by a variety of neighboring animals including a groundhog, a great blue heron, goats, pigs, llamas, longhorn cattle and an emu. As mentioned, these are all real animals that live in or near Marshall Township. The first book, "Exploring their New Neighborhood," is based on a true story about a beaver dam and pool that the authors heard when they first moved to Marshall Township. In this story, Bubba and Boo explore their new neighborhood in search of the shy and reclusive beaver because they had never met a beaver before. Along the way they meet a lot of new friends. When they finally get to meet the beaver, they assist her with a problem that she has not been able to manage on her own. Once the problem is solved, the beaver, with great appreciation, nicknames our heroes "Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Boo." From then on, Bubba and Boo continue to help solve problems and answer questions in the neighborhood while learning important lessons that benefit and strengthen the community. Future book subjects include being afraid, the value of diversity, reasons for lying, jumping to conclusions and responsibilities. Every book is intended to be thoughtful, a little bit educational and a whole lot of fun.

The Adventures of Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Book - Book 2: Everyone is Afraid of Something series was inspired by real animals that live in and around Marshall Township, Pennsylvania. The heroes of the stories are an unlikely pair. Bubba, aka Captain Cutie Pie, is a black cat while Deputy Boo is a miniature parrot. In each story, Bubba and Boo are joined by a variety of neighboring animals including a groundhog, a great blue heron, dogs, goats, pigs, llamas, a longhorn cattle, and an emu. As mentioned, these are all real animals that live in or near Marshall Township, Pennsylvania. The second book, Adventures of Captain Cutie Pie and Deputy Book - Book 2: Everyone is Afraid of Something, was inspired when an ostrich (who is actually an emu) moved into the neighborhood. The story line is based on the belief that ostriches stick their heads in the sand when they are scared. The book uses this belief as a springboard for the characters to talk about their fears and how they react to being afraid. While most of the characters want to welcome the new bird to the neighborhood, the more mischievous characters devise a plan to see if ostriches really do stick their heads in the sand when scared. Future book subjects include being afraid, the value of diversity (everyone has something valuable to offer), dishonesty, bullying, jumping to conclusions, playful revenge, and responsibilities. Every book is intended to be thoughtful, a little bit educational, and a whole lot of fun.

In a novel of action, intrigue, and romance, a U.S. Navy SEAL and an FBI agent race to unravel a mystery–while confronting their own unresolved feelings for each other. In his career as one of America’s elite warriors, Lt. Sam Starrett can do no wrong. In his private life, Sam–the king of one night stands–has done little right. Now, he’s waiting for a divorce and determined to stay active in his young daughter’s life. But when Sam shows up at the door of his ex-wife’s home in Sarasota, Florida, he makes a grisly discovery. His daughter is gone and the body of a woman lies brutally murdered on the floor. FBI agent Alyssa Locke’s relationship with Sam has been overwhelmingly intense and nearly catastrophic, yet it refuses to end. The last time she saw Sam was six months earlier, when they worked together to stop terrorists from assassinating the U.S. President. Much to her dismay, Alyssa is assigned to lead the murder investigation and once again the two are face to face. When explosive information surfaces linking Sam to the still unsolved assassination plot, the stakes are raised. With her reputation hanging in the balance, and her loyalties in question, Alyssa is faced with an impossible dilemma:arrest a man she believes to be innocent, or risk her career. While Alyssa tries to fight their intense attraction, Sam is determined to heat things up between them once again. And the complex case pushes them both to the wrong side of the law–and on the run to discover the truth. As more agents step into the chase, and with Sam’s daughter still unaccounted for, neither Alyssa nor Sam can predict just how deadly hot this situation is about to become. . . . A thrilling novel that ranges back into the days of World War II, into friendships, families, liaisons, betrayals, and the code of honor that binds the U.S. Navy SEALs, Gone Too Far is an electrifying experience in suspense–and a brilliant tale of lives lived on the edge.
