|  | | Factors Unforeseen - [author Harvey Shoals, pseudonym]
"Harvey Shoals, environmentalist and experienced field biologist, reveals the details of his disastrous assignment to the Caribbean island of Tavira where his job was to discover ways to stamp out the world's second most deadly parasitic tropical disease.
At the time, those of us on the outside looking in could only guess what had gone wrong." William Rowan
| |  | | Incident at Roan High Bluff
Actually, the category might be better defined as "mystery with a light touch." In fact, if Belt Ferguson's foxhounds hadn't found a body on a knoll just northeast of Gouge Cove, sheriff's deputies and the FBI might never have resolved the puzzling incident at Roan High Bluff. You might want to read "Cloudland," the chapter in which the foxhounds star.
Pick a likely site on the North Carolina/Tennessee border. Add a cast of not so hardy oldsters on a high-ticket tour of the Southern Appalachians, the suggestion of malfeasance, a body or two. Amateur sleuths Sarah Pool and Isabel MacKirk strive to save their own lives and that of their friend before it's too late. It's kind of fun. It's free of objectionable language, sex, and violence. Hence, it makes a safe, informal gift for very special friends. | |  | | Living With Post-traumatic Stress : A Special Kind of Courage
Second Edition of *On The Spring Tide: A Special Kind of Courage.* (Cenografix, 1998) The lasting effect of 37 months in a Japanese prison camp (for civilians) on the remainder of a young woman's life. How even subliminal post-traumatic stress disorder, irrespective of the cause, can invade a family like second-hand smoke.
Although born an optimist in many important ways, those three years left a legacy of unresolved anxiety and stress that tracked her for the rest of her life. An inspiring story of courage and love that holds lessons for us all. | |  | | Tales from Towhee Inn
Fifteen interwoven short stories with the fabric of a novella. Set near Asheville, NC in the western North Carolina mountains.
I have posted two of the short stories here at Authors' Den. These will give you some idea of the content of the collection. |
