Good Genes, Luck, Lots of Prayers

By: Bob Kascht

GOOD GENES, LUCK, A LOT OF PRAYERS by Bob Kascht, is a memoir of an ordinary life, written in a flowing style, which elevates the little things and the common people to a higher level where the mlange of memories evokes more reflections on life in the mind of the reader. "These memories were registered in detail, on a fine grain emulsion, and with full flavor. Thankfully, the retrieval is printed in gentle sepia, softening some of the glare and pain. I am now in a quiet time, a holding pattern, awaiting the landing.I hope our children can gain increased appreciation of our earnest efforts, and our love for them. As a side benefit, I should like those who follow to realize that we were more than just faded photographs, alive and "full of beans." It would be the ideal reward if they wish they had known us." Happily, every reader will know the people who step from these pages.

Walking Trails of Eastern and Central Wisconsin

By: Robert F. Crawford,Bob Crawford

Successful professor Nick Hoffman finds his secure, happy, college-town life changed forever after a nightmarish encounter with police. But even when that horrible night is over, life doesn't return to normal. Someone is clearly out to destroy him. Nick and his partner Stefan Borowski face an escalating series of threats that lead to a brutal and stunning confrontation. A novel of suspense set in the academic world, Assault with a Deadly Lie probes the disturbing psychological impact of slander, harassment, stalking, police brutality, and the loss of personal safety. What will Nick do when his world threatens to collapse? How can he reestablish order in a suddenly chaotic life? Assault with a Deadly Lie, the eighth installment of Lev Raphael's Nick Hoffman Mysteries, propels the series to a new level of danger and intrigue as Nick and Stefan are catapulted out of their tranquil existence by shocking accusations. Finalist, Midwest Book Award for Mystery/Thriller Fiction, Midwest Independent Publishers Association A riveting great read for mystery/suspense fans, author Lev Raphael once again documents his impressive gifts as a storyteller, holding the reader s rapt attention from beginning to end with unexpected plot twists and surprise twists. Jack Mason, Midwest Book Review Raphael portrays with frightening power the wrenching experience of victimization by the corporatized, PR-prioritized groves of academia, where both men teach, and by local authorities militarized into SWAT teams practicing police brutality. . . . The compelling core of this unusual novel is Raphael s depiction of the agonizing reality of victims shame, in which someone feels doubly exposed talking about the violation and so says nothing. Booklist Professor Nick Hoffman learns that even tenure can t guarantee real security. Kirkus Reviews
