Harry Logan, the author of a successful first novel finds himself living in chaos of expectations and relationships gone awry. He cannot find the words to begin his next book, and his friends and lovers cannot hear his silent screams for help through the bombast of his public personality. He begins to write in earnest again when he reacquaints himself with the gentle quiet Harry he left somewhere in his youth, and he forms and unlikely luncheon friendship with a fragile, funny, beautiful, and enigmatic librarian. As the book goes forward so does their unique friendship now well on its way to something more than that. Harry now must face the hard decisions to reconcile a private life with her and his public passion to become a force in the world of literature. They are the most difficult of his life.

Legal Executions by the United States Military

A Complete Record, 1942-1961

By: R. Michael Wilson

During the two decades following entry into World War II, nearly 30 million men and women served in or worked for the United States military. Tens of thousands faced a general court-martial under the Articles of War, which prescribed either life in prison or death for crimes of murder, rape or desertion. Only 160 men were sentenced to death and executed--159 for murder or rape (or a combination of the two), and one for desertion. The manner of death was by firing squad or by hanging. These dishonored servicemen were buried in various locations around the world. Later, nearly all were moved to grave sites in military cemeteries, segregated from those who died honorably. This book tells the stories of the men, their crimes and their executions.

Sunset House

By: Michael W. Burns

Mitch Patterson is a man who views life with a unique if selfish joy. An orphan, a former marine, and CIA operative, he left the world of offices since he found them confining, humorless, and annoying. He travels the country alone satisfying his vast curiosity about the people he meets and the places he sees. He seeks peace in writing of these travels and pleasure with the women he knows. He does not consider a long-term commitment as part of his life. Morgan Burgess, an Ivy League educated lawyer, came to Middle America eight years ago with the man she was to marry to work with the poor. Two years ago he disappeared. Displaced now in the heartland, left by a man with his own secrets, she struggles to cope with the belief that she drove him away. To heal, she first immerses herself in building a very special house and then seeks the help of therapy she never imagined she would need. These two very different people meet and are unexpectedly attracted to each other. Surprised by the compelling feelings drawing them together, they try to understand what a future together might hold.
