<p>He roams the moonlit wilderness, his every sense and instinct on high alert. Changeling wolf Connor Macleod and his Pack have never feared anything &#8212; until the night human Zoey Tyler barely escapes a rogue werewolf&#8217;s vicious attack.</p>
<p>As the full moon approaches, Zoey has no idea of the changes that are coming, and only Connor can show her what she is, and help her master the wildness inside. With her initiation into the Pack just days away and a terrifying predator on the loose, the tentative bonds of trust and tenderness are their only weapons against a force red in tooth, claw . . . and ultimate evil.</p>

<p>FORMER SENATOR JOHN BILLINGTON KNEW WRITING THIS <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> OP-ED PIECE MIGHT GET HIM KILLED . . .</p>
<p>July 6th<br />
The congressional inquiry into the 9/11 attacks left several secrets unanswered. The top three are Saudi Arabia&#8217;s full role in the preparation for and the execution of the plot; the Kingdom&#8217;s willingness and capacity to collaborate in future terrorist actions against the United States; and why this and the prior administration conducted a cover-up that thus far has frustrated finding the answers to the first two questions.</p>
<p>Now, there is an even more ominous unknown. Does Saudi Arabia have the bomb? . . . The United States should take prompt action to prevent this potential conflict from becoming a reality.</p>
<p>Shortly after this appears in print, his suspicion comes true: Senator Billington, a co-chair of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry Commission, is murdered near his Florida home. Sensing the danger he faced before he was murdered, Billington left ex-Special Forces operative Tony Ramos detailed instructions for an investigation into Saudi complicity in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>Now Ramos, in conjunction with Billington&#8217;s daughter Laura, must uncover a shocking international conspiracy linking Saudi Arabia &#8212; the Kingdom &#8212; to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, in a race against time that will span Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>But will Ramos and his team be able to stop al-Qaeda from unleashing nuclear disaster on American shores and beyond?</p>
<p>Destined to be a titan amongst thrillers, <em>Keys to the Kingdom</em> is infused with inside information and insight into the world of terrorism that only Senator Bob Graham &#8212; as former Chairman of the Senate&#8217;s Select Committee on Intelligence &#8212; can offer.</p>

<p>Lucky O&#8217;Toole &#8212; head of Customer Relations at premier mega resort the Babylon &#8212; thinks it&#8217;s just another night in Las Vegas. A tractor-trailer has spilled its load of a million honeybees, blocking not only the Strip but the entrance to her hotel. . .The district attorney for Clark County &#8212; apparently the odd man out of a threesome on the twelfth floor &#8212; is hiding in the buff in one of the hotel&#8217;s laundry rooms. . . And Numbers Neidermeyer &#8212; one of Vegas&#8217;s less-than-savory oddsmakers &#8212; is throwing some major attitude at Las Vegas&#8217;s ace private investigator, the beautiful Jeremy Whitlock.</p>
<p>The next day, Lucky discovers Ms. Neidermeyer has been tossed into the shark tank at the Mandalay Bay Resort as a snack for the tiger shark. When the police show up at the Babylon with a hastily prepared search warrant, applied for by the district attorney himself, and Jeremy lands in the hot seat, Lucky realizes her previous night was far from routine.</p>
<p>Amid the chaos of fight weekend, the Babylon&#8217;s hiring of an eccentric new French chef, and her madam mother&#8217;s scheme to auction off a young woman&#8217;s virginity, Lucky is drawn into a deadly game where no one is what they seem, a game that will end only when she discovers who made fish food out of Numbers Neidermeyer.</p>
<p>Lucky O&#8217;Toole and fabulous Las Vegas &#8212; life doesn&#8217;t get any better.</p>

<p>It is the autumn of 1999. A year has passed since Lucy Darby&#8217;s unexpected death, leaving her husband David and son Whitley to mend the gaping hole in their lives. David, a trauma-site cleanup technician, spends his nights expunging the violent remains of strangers, helping their families to move on, though he is unable to do the same. Whitley &#8212; an 11 year-old social pariah known simply as The Kid &#8212; hasn&#8217;t spoken since his mother&#8217;s death. Instead, he communicates through a growing collection of notebooks, living in a safer world of his own silent imagining.</p>
<p>As the impending arrival of Y2K casts a shadow of uncertainty around them, their own precarious reality begins to implode. Questions pertaining to the events of Lucy&#8217;s death begin to haunt David, while The Kid, who still believes his mother is alive, enlists the help of his small group of misfit friends to bring her back. As David continues to lose his grip on reality and The Kid&#8217;s sense of urgency grows, they begin to uncover truths that will force them to confront their deepest fears about each other and the wounded family they are trying desperately to save.</p>

<p>When the steadfast Ruby Jane Whittaker drops out of sight, dogged ex-cop Skin Kadash sets out to discover what drove the woman he loves to leave her life behind so suddenly and without explanation.</p>
<p>The discovery of a dead man in Ruby Jane&#8217;s apartment and an attack by a mysterious stalker send Skin from Portland to California &#8212; and into a charged encounter with her one-time love Peter McKrall.</p>
<p>As questions mount and answers grow increasingly out of reach, Skin and Peter cross the country on a desperate journey deep into Ruby Jane&#8217;s haunted past &#8212; and toward an explosive confrontation which will decide if any of them has a future.</p>

He would risk his life on a journey through the legendary mountains of Nepal, facing the dangers of a bloody civil war.</p>
<p><em>Little Princes</em> is a true story of families and children, and what one person is capable of when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. At turns tragic, joyful, and hilarious, <em>Little Princes</em> is a testament to the power of faith and the ability of love to carry us beyond our wildest expectations.  <em>Little Princes: One Man&#8217;s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal </em>from <a href="http://www.harpercollinscatalogs.com/harper/516_1709_323938343631.htm"><span style="color: #993366">William Morrow</span></a> is available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/adios/dp/0061930059"><span style="color: #993366">Amazon</span></a> and <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN=0061930059"><span style="color: #993366">Barnes &amp; Noble</span></a>.</p>
