Thunder McCloud is a spoiled, southern woman who is still hampered from her overprotected childhood. Wanting to correct some memorable moments, she begins a personal war by arming herself with 13 boxes of Sophie Mae's peanut brittle candy, a bicycle with training wheels, and a red Corvette. Never having a job, but wanting to experience the sensation of driving to and from an office, she sets off. Meanwhile, a cunning serial killer is knocking off a number of attractive women on Valentine's Day and Detectives Chris Cross and Rob Banks aren't having any success in solving the crimes. This is a pre-sequel to Moonlight Madness and MAD IN THE U.S.A.
Thunder McCloud is getting her life back on track marrying her handsome love. And all those very strange occurrences unfolding have a logical explanation: seeing the French fortuneteller can be written off as mental stress; the local dentist's unusual behavior can be blamed on his senility--so what if he and his male lover are plotting premeditated homicide? What is odd about the groom's mother-in-law sharing the bridal suite in Isle de Linda with a Russian lover who is a possible assassin? There is nothing more "normal" unless one considers the rationale of Thunder's grandmother who is secretly residing at High Heaven Mental Institution--well, she was told the old relative was residing in heaven. There is no comparing Thunder's life to a Ferris wheel or a roller coaster ride; it's the blurring rotation of a toy top and it will be spinning out of control for sometime before she leads that boring existence she craves with her new husband.(Third book in the Thunder McCloud series.)
As Thunder McCloud's sophisticated mother battles a difficult Internet addiction including cyber sex, Thunder reaches out to assist her. Fleeing to a tropical getaway in Bermuda, they are caught up in the dog-eat-dog world, compliments of the Americans following their scent. The commencement of sunshine, blue skies, and pink beaches soon evolves into puzzlement and mystery when they venture outside their Southampton rental quarters. Meanwhile, a killer has "honed his skills" on a mousey woman named Onion Breathitt who recently became nationally recognized as a blue ribbon winner for her peanut butter recipe. After using her as an experimental rat he realizes his mousetrap invention will not serve his purpose in carrying out future killings -- nine to be exact! Traditional teatime becomes a poisonous deed when the killer takes his "one-man show" on the road to Bermuda, and Thunder and her mother are caught up in the bigger-than-life performance.
Set in present-day Kentucky, once again Thunder McCloud is attracting danger like Benjamin Franklin conducting his electrical experiment while flying his kite during a thunderstorm to collect a charge in a Leyden jar. After watching Psyche Butterflies, a morning self-help show for anxiety sufferers hosted by an old acquaintance of Thunder's and hearing a clumsy exchange of words involving an unsolved 17-year-old murder case contributing to the guest's anxieties, plus an extended discussion regarding Thunder, she decides to make changes in her life. Going to great lengths of pre-arranging a private luncheon meeting at a prestigious downtown hotel solely with her husband to review their relationship - mainly their shared, gluttonous, sexual appetite for each other - she awakes to find herself in a hotel room with a note fastened to the pillow, a note from Anthony Grandis, an Alabama farmer. A subplot follows Charlie Face, a clever and secretive young man, who is unable to leave behind a disturbing childhood.
Thunder McCloud, a divorced woman whose life is in turmoil, faces additional challenges when she discovers someone has broken into her Neo-classic house to clean it. She keeps her handsome significant other baffled and bewildered after she gives him a six-week evaluation on being a friend, lover, and potential husband. He tells her, "Wasn't it just last month that you hosted a black-tie dinner at two thousand dollars a plate, in my honor, and presented me with the Brave Badge of Courage Award?" Thunder carries with her emotional baggage that has had her nametag on it since childhood -- baggage that is never lost! Her problems escalate when a psychiatrist takes her to a secluded cabin to convince her that her lover is a figment of her imagination, that he and she are married, and that she is recovering from a nervous breakdown. A subplot takes the reader on a wild journey with a country gentleman from Thunder's past. Now, a serial killer, they are destined to meet again.
Proteins are made of strings of amino acids that form chains known as peptides. Our bodies need dietary protein to accomplish many basic functions, such as building bones, moving muscles, and repairing tissue. Dietary protein, an essential nutrient, comes from meat, dairy, and certain grains and beans. Proteins differ by the types and order of amino acids they contain. Even though there are only 20 amino acids, they create almost endless variations in chains as long as 500 links. Proteins form inside animals (including humans) and plants through processes that synthesize peptides. For humans, we cannot synthesise certain "essential protein," and so we must ingest them through food. These essential proteins are made of phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, tryptophan, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and valine amino acids. Food from plants, like corn, have incomplete protein, which means they do not contain all the necessary amino acids. Only food from animals, such as cheese and fish, provide complete protein, and don't need to be combined with other protein sources. Examples of complete protein foods are milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, poultry, pork, or any meat. Incomplete proteins include oats, wheat, pasta, lentils, nuts, rice, soy, pears, and seeds. Eating a combination of complementary protein sources, such as grains mixed with legumes, results in a diet of essential protein. This is how vegetarians and vegans maintain health without eating meat or dairy. This book presents the latest research in this dynamic field.

Bearing a striking resemblance to the phoenix rising from the burning ashes, a little dead creature of the rodentia species brought forth this author's latest writing Who Killed Millie Mouse? Truly an inspiration, there it was occupying space on the counter in her recently sanitized powder room - and dead as a stump. The author turned to fantasy and imagination to solve the mystery. Set in 1800s France during the Plume Boom period when the rage for elegant bird feathers in the millinery trade swept across Europe, and as Madame LaRee Fury is carrying out experiments in her lab, she is struck by a mental image in horrid detail - the death of Millie Mouse. As news of her demise travels through the city of Hickory Dickory Rock, mounting suspicion follows Millie's relatives, her employees, and a former acquaintance; meanwhile, Inspector Jean Moreau seems to be dragging his feet in solving the crime prompting Madame Fury to begin asking questions.
