One thing I can say about my tiny yet very cute backyard, is we have a lot of birds. Apparently the birds have noticed the new chicken coop. They are inspecting it, hopping all over it, and pecking at it. I feel like I should have asked their permission to put it back there. It looks like a swarm of feathers is attacking it.

Book One
“Pink Balloons and Other Deadly Things” is the first book in Nancy Tesler’s bestselling Carrie Carlin “Other Deadly Things” amateur sleuth mystery series.
When Carrie’s husband, Rich, flies the family coop with his young, drop-dead gorgeous marketing director on the eve of Carrie’s 40th birthday, the stress-coping skills she practices and preaches daily in her work as a biofeedback therapist fly out the door along with him. She can’t eat. She hardly sleeps. When she does, her dreams are nightmares fraught with deadly specters.Her waking fantasies are equally lethal. Spying on the semi-nude bride-to-be, sunning herself by the family swimming pool, visions of stoning and scalping dance through Carrie’s head. Then the bimbo is found floating face-down in the pool, a valuable gold chain, a gift to Carrie from Rich, ripped from her neck.
Homicide detective Ted Brodsky shows up at Carrie’s office asking questions…about her impending divorce…about the necklace…about her emotional state…about her financial situation. A nosy neighbor has placed Carrie in the vicinity shortly before the murder. Carrie’s fingerprints are on a toy boomerang discovered in the yard. And the very afternoon of the murder, Brodsky himself had stopped Carrie for speeding a few blocks from the scene. While Carrie has certainly wished her replacement dead and buried, she can’t quite convince this stern, sexy cop that she didn’t actually do it.
The scandal sheets go wild, Carrie’s clients start canceling appointments, her ten-year-old son is forced to fight for her honor at school, her pre-teen-age daughter vows to give up on men forever, and the family dog develops bladder problems. Now the suburban single mom is on the run, finding out shocking secrets about her ex, her friends, and even her patients–as a killer targets her….

Unbreakable Love: The Brian Warren Story
D. M. Anthony
Genre: Sports & Outdoors | Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
UNBREAKABLE LOVE is the story of one fighter’s unbreakable love for his daughter, and about God’s unbreakable love for him—despite his failings as a man — a rare look inside the world of MMA fighting and the gladiators who entertain us.
In his new book, Unbreakable Love: The Brian Warren Story (MegaArrowPress, LLC, 2013), author D. M. Anthony takes readers inside the cage and ring, revealing the trappings and struggles of mixed martial arts fighters as they stake out their legacy in the annals of this young and violent sport. This new book chronicles the life of MMA fighter Brian Warren, from his beginnings in the sport, through the undulating peaks and troughs, to his beckoning retirement.
Known as “Mr. Unbreakable” in the cage, professional fighter Brian Warren has earned two MMA title belts, battling it out for the past 14 years with some of the best fighters in the world, including past and future UFC fighters Cung Le, Nate Loughran, and Ben Saunders. And though Brian Warren hasn’t always won—in life or the ring—his spirit remains true to his moniker — unbreakable.
“Brian Warren has something within him that many fighters lack — the bushido spirit. He’s willing to risk it all because to do less would equal defeat. He honors not himself in the fight, but Christ. His loyalty is not to the sport, but to the fan.”(from the Foreword to the book, written by Kimo Leopoldo, UFC/MMA icon)
His is a story of courage, success, failure and loss, unwavering devotion, and a determination to rise from the ashes to stand once again a champion—this time to the glory of God, and for his beloved daughter Breesa.
Brian’s story will inspire you to be a better man, a better father, a better disciple of Christ—and to never give up, not on yourself, not on your faith, and certainly not on your dreams.
But Unbreakable Love isn’t just for men. It’s a love story, after all, and is at times as tender as it is tough, as heartfelt as it is heartbreaking. It’s an inside look at the struggles of a professional MMA fighter, the impact of such a brutal sport on a family, and the temptations that wage war against the fighter’s soul.

Of Windmills and War
Diane Moody

The rumblings of war in distant countries mattered little to Danny McClain.Growing up in Chicago, his world revolved around after-school jobs, a rescued beagle, his pen pal in Holland, and the Cubs’ chance to go to the World Series. Then, in December of 1941, during his first year at Northwestern University, news of the attack on Pearl Harbor hit much too close to home.After a series of unexpected events over the next couple of years, Danny found himself in the co-pilot seat of a B-17, stationed with the 390th Bomb Group in Framlingham, England.
Anya Versteeg had been just a teenager when Hitler’s troops invaded her homeland of Holland in May of 1940. Forced to grow up much too fast, the feisty preacher’s daughter eagerly immersed herself in the Dutch Resistance and its many efforts to thwart the enemy.Certain that God had turned His back on Holland, she closed her heart and did whatever she had to do to save her country before it was too late.
By 1945, the people of Occupied Holland were starving. Cut off from the outside world in retaliation for their failed attempt to oust the Germans invaders, the Dutch had no food, no electricity, no fuel, and little hope of surviving. Thousands were dying every day. Then, just days before the war ended, help came to The Netherlands like manna from heaven.
Operation Chowhound held special meaning for Lieutenant Danny McClain. Somewhere below in the battered land of tulips and windmills was the girl who needed rescuing—after rescuing so many others. And he would move heaven and earth to find her.
