Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many intelligent people, the stuff of history does not consist of the kind of dry-as-dust investigations of diplomatic, economic, or political history that most university historians research and write about, but the famous topics of “history’s mysteries”- who was Jack the Ripper? Was there a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy? Did Richard III murder the Princes in the Tower? What are the mysteries of the ancient Pyramids? Not only have a great many books and articles been written on these and similar topics by so-called “amateur historians,” but they have generated societies, conferences, newsletters, and television programmes. Many people who are not academic historians take a keen interest in these topics, and have in some cases made themselves real experts on them, with interesting theories of their own. Despite all of this, however, these topics are virtually ignored by academic historians and can be treated with contempt. In Shadow Pasts, William D. Rubinstein a well-known and widely published history professor, examines seven of the most famous and interesting topics which have been discussed, debated, examined, and written about by “amateur historians. Each of these mysteries and the theories surrounding them are examined in detail, with Professor Rubinstein presenting his own original and sometimes surprising conclusions about what really happened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WWW.BWESTONROOK.COM Randy Curtis was a shy backward kid who grew up in the sleepy town of Edgewater. Naturally, the girl who he loved, Lori, didn’t feel the same way about him. And of course, he was always the target of schoolyard bullies, particularly Brad Bedford. On the night of graduation, he finally and dramatically taught his tormentors a lesson and revealed his feelings for Lori, and then disappeared with no intentions of ever returning. But years later, when his mother’s death is clouded in suspicion, he returns to Edgewater only to find that he not only has to face his past, but also deal with a complex set of new enemies and obstacles. A Shadow From the Past is an earnest novel, deeply felt and worked out with a good deal of honesty and force. Randy Curtis, returning to Edgewater after a mysterious 10-year absence for his mother´s funeral is able at last to set his life to rights, reconcile and find true love with Lori, the girl who had abandoned him (and who he in turn had abandoned), and bring to justice the four teenagers who terrorized his helpless mother. But in the process Randy is forced to become something dark, something secret, something that he fears will ultimately be his own demise.

Jack has been working with the Shadow Doctor for a little while now. He thinks he might just be getting to grips with the Doc's unusual approach to helping with people's deep problems. Then, visiting the highly respected leader of a large Christian organisation, Jack sees his friend go on the attack. However, the encounter reveals secrets about the Doc's past that are beyond anything Jack could have imagined. Perturbed, he makes a list of all his unanswered questions. Where does the Shadow Doctor's unusual name come from? Why is he so stubbornly reluctant to speak about faith in terms that normal churchgoers would understand? Why is Jack not allowed to simply enjoy a moment when God really seems to have spoken through him? And will the Doc finally describe the life-changing experience mentioned by Jack's gran in the letter she wrote to him shortly before her death? Most all, Jack is desperate to pin down just what the Shadow Doctor actually thinks and feels about God. And there is one more issue that Jack feels particularly keenly. How will Doc respond to hearing that, having met a young lady named Aelwen, Jack is deeply in love for the very first time?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She lives in the shadow of another's past. Princess Raven only ever wanted one thing-to become the beloved queen of her people. Since the day she was born, she'd received nothing but fear and hatred from those around her, all because her familiar happens to be reminiscent of the beast controlled by the tyrant king of ages past. Was it her fault her lifelong companion, Eclipse, was a dragon of bones and shadows? With few other options, Raven waited patiently for her time to come. But everything-all her hopes and dreams-were stolen from her in the blink of an eye. Little did she know that there were much bigger problems to worry about. Her home, the Night Kingdom, was steadily falling into an unnatural and perpetual darkness. Raven and Eclipse set out, leaving home for the first time in search of a magical relic to restore the balance of the Night Kingdom and earn their rightful places among their people. But it won't be as easy as it sounds, for the world outside is far bigger, and stranger, than they could've ever anticipated. They won't be traversing it alone though. Whether they like it or not, they'll be accompanied by the most unlikely of allies. Raven will need to cope with this new thing called "friendship" and learn how to place her trust in others if she ever wants to claim what she believes is meant to be hers.

When she breaks for lunch right before reaching Lake Tahoe, she draws a flirtatious smile from a handsome white guy who causes her heart to beat a little faster, despite the fact that she's sworn off romantic relationships for the foreseeable future.

Startled by the wail of an animal, she overcomes her fear to find a gangly, hurt puppy. She loads the pup into her car and makes a veterinary clinic her first stop when she reaches Lake Tahoe. As fate would have it, Hank Crowe, the veterinarian, turns out to be the handsome white guy from the restaurant. And thus begins a relationship that leads to dog ownership and falling in love. The path is not smooth, however, as the past resurfaces to threaten the present . The ex of each arrives on the scene and a man thought dead nearly ends succeeds in murdering Callie and Hank.
