They were here Friday, they were here Saturday, and those nuts were sprinkled on our Sunday." When veteran southwest Missouri newspaper editor Randy Turner wrote those words he never dreamed he was opening the door to a $1.5 billion libel suit and the end of a storied newspaper career that saw him earn more than 100 awards, including 30 for investigative reporting. In Newspaper Days, Turner's follow-up to the highly successful The Turner Report, he relives his 22 years as a reporter and editor, including how: -He encountered a gang of armed drug dealers after his editorial resulted in a police crackdown -His failure to deal with the murder of a close friend haunted him after his first newspaper job -One publisher fired him twice by mail, and another told him he would never work in newspapers again. -He ran afoul of a 400-pound city marshal, and a gun-toting father during his time with the Newton County News -His coverage of corruption in a small town police department, the Nancy Cruzan right-to-die case, and a governor's race between three Missouri legends- Mel Carnahan, Roy Blunt, and Bill Webster, catapulted him to a front-tier status among Missouri journalists. . Newspaper Days is entertaining, funny, fast-moving, and a must-read for those who remember a time when a newspaper was the heart and soul of a community.

The Pilgrim Journey

Miles To Go Promises To Keep

By: Douglas Turner

The Pilgrim Journey I strived to provide a title for my book that would focus the mind-set of the reader to our family's journey through life; that of immense hardships and struggles, as well as that of courage and determination, to bring about personal triumph over misfortunes. And within this context of selecting a Title, I also wanted to reflect an immerse reverence for the Lord; the Almighty. For we children were taught by word and deed, from early childhood, to place our faith in our Creator. For, out in the lonely country side, without a telephone, radio or TV, in the scorching summer time, sleeping out on the rickety front porch of our small two room house, I recall so clearly, looking up at the stars and the moon and reciting the little prayer that our Mom had taught us children; and never in my childish dreams fancying that I would live to see mankind journeying to and landing on that beautiful Heavenly body that I was observing. Now lay me down to sleep, Pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, Pray the Lord my soul to take. And when Sunday's rolled around, making it to our little country church on foot, in a wagon or buggy; listening to the great hymns of praise and acclamation, lives on as a memory bliss. Then, members of long ago, who rose to great prominence in life, coming back home for interment beside our little country church. Thus, I could not in the final analysis, but to provide a title that emulates, as near as possible, our sojourn to that of the early Pilgrims, who sacrificed and braved the immense hardships of leaving their homeland and journeying across the ocean to America for freedom of choice and worship. Miles to Go: Promises to Keep After much deliberation in selecting a befitting Title for my book, I continued to feel a certain void in my selection, as it appeared no to account for the countless miles of traversing that we had to do out in the countryside and the content that the journeying had on our lives; for it gave us time to reflect most deeply on our circumstances, where we had been in life, where we were in life and where we were going in life, and which of the promises we were going to keep in life; and thus selected the subtitle: Miles to Go: Promises to Keep.

Only in Lamar, Missouri

Harry Truman, Wyatt Earp and Legendary Locals

By: Randy Turner

Lamar advertises itself as the city "where legends begin," and the city of four thousand lives up to that slogan. It was the place where frontier lawman Wyatt Earp first wore a star and where President Harry S Truman was born. When Truman successfully brought World War II to an end, the submarine fleets in the Atlantic and Pacific were commanded by Lamar High School graduates. Lamar's legends, however, are not limited to those who found fame after they left the city. Lamar was home to the longest-serving mayor in Missouri history, a legendary newspaperman, a football team that captured seven straight state championships and an infamous killer whose life was ended by a lynch mob. Author Randy Turner details these stories and much more.

Devil's Messenger

By: Randy Turner

On one hot August night, 15-year-old Cassandra Harper's life is shattered. First, she becomes a victim of date rape, then the body of her beloved father, Richard Harper, is found slumped over the computer he gave Cassandra for her 15th birthday. From that point on, Cassandra withdraws from the world, reserving her communications to her anonymously-written blog and to instant messenger conversations with her dead father. Devil's Messenger, a combination horror story and murder mystery, is the story of how Cassandra battles from the brink of despair to reclaim her life, and her evil father who attempts to continue his reign of terror from beyond the grave. Adding to the mix is Richard Harper's murderer, who is manipulating Cassandra's family and everyone else in the small community of Westport seeking the hidden fortune that Harper left behind. Devil's Messenger is a roller-coaster ride of terror from beginning to end.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to 30,000 Baby Names

By: Marcia Layton Turner,Robbi Hess

The Complete Idiot s Guide to 30,000 Baby Namesoffers a little something extra than the majority of books on the market. Rather than provide readers with an alphabetized name list for each gender (which, by the way, it also does), it dedicates approximately half of its total pages to various lists that help parents zero in on the perfect name for their baby and add some fun to the baby-naming process. In addition to the various lists of names and a two-color alphabetized name section, this book also contains colorful name histories and helpful information on how to go about finding and choosing the perfect name. Lists include something for everyone.
