|  | | Full Moon Friday
When the full moon coincides with Friday the 13th, City Editor Josie Braun and the staff of the Jordan Daily News can barely keep up with the monsoon of madness.
In the third Jordan Daily News Mystery, a school bus disappears, a body drops out of nowhere and a movie opening promotion turns out scarier than the flick. What's next? | |  | | Great News Town
Jordan,Ill., is one of those places that just seems to attract a lot of news stories. But when the murder rate starts growing faster than corn in July, the staff of the Jordan Daily News knows something is very wrong.
It's the summer of 1984 in Jordan, Ill., a small town where the Chicago suburbs disolve into corn fields. A refinery explosion draws national attention and keeps the staff of the local newspaper busy so the first murders barely rate a headline. Slum neighborhood, they think. Jealous husband, the sheriff says. Then in one weekend five people are killed and three injured. Now city editor Josie Braun and investigative reporter Duke Dukakis realize the events are connected. Duke pieces together the clues that solve the crime, but not before Josie faces her own brush with the serial killer. | |  | | Laughing for a Living
Most Thursday or Friday nights for the past decade I could be found hard at work -- laughing in an aisle seat.
As a theater reviewer for The Grand Rapids Press, I spent my evening enjoying great theater from the best seats in the house. During the day, I interviewed the stars who were coming to town, including Jerry Lewis, Tony Curtis, Bette Midler, Molly Ringwald and more. Laughing for a Living is a behind the pen look at the stars, the rude ones and the flirty ones and the ordinary every day ones.

The spirit of a missing editor haunts the newsroom, helping to solve a mystery.
Crime-fighting editor Zelda Machinko disappeared in 1956 leaving only a shoe as a clue that she was nabbed by gangsters. As her spirit reveals her tale, the people and places of the past intertwine with the passions and problems of the present. The gritty gangssters of Zelda's world in the 1950s collide with the greedy government graft in the Chicago suburbs of the 1980s. |
