It’s still the 21st century, but an apocalyptic world flood has wiped out one-third of the world's population. Survivors now crowd the remaining landmasses or live on cruise ships and private yachts circumnavigating the globe or docked in harbors. Only 12 ports peek out above the waterline, along with one generally unknown portal.

In this offbeat whodunit, Mayor Dankworth is found dead, and the only suspect is golden-boy high-school track-star Aiden Birdwhistle. Unfortunately, Aiden fled the crime scene, taking refuge at a tea maker’s treehouse before turning himself in to the authorities. Will Aiden be convicted of a crime that he insists he did not commit, due to the ineptitude of his attorney uncle? Or will his newfound, quirky friends uncover the truth in time to free him from an awful fate?

Three is a magical number. Not only were there three magi, but there are three musketeers, three witnesses are often required, and there are three in the Godhead or Trinity. Good things often come in threes. The number is popular in refrains, proverbs, and from fairytales to Hollywood blockbusters. The rule of three principle suggests that things that come in threes are inherently more humorous, satisfying, and effective than any other number of things. There is something powerful in that combination..

Do you believe that a drought of the land which causes many people to die of famine or a drought of the human soul that affects the lives of those nearest to him/her is more devastating? Can droughts of the soul can be more damaging than those of the soil? The analogy buried in the book Drought uncovers the dichotomy (or juxtaposition) of both.

Have you ever taken off on a journey - any kind of journey - and not ended up where you expected? I think this happens to most of us much of the time, just not necessarily on an airplane going to a predetermined place. We often think of hijacking in today’s world as a violent act, taking a group to a destination they did not choose or sign up for.

West Orion has returned to Hood River to wed his middle school crush Olivia Tarkington. That is, if he can keep her convinced for five measly more days, but then, when does true love ever run smooth? Their wedding week is fraught with trials and tribulation - a broken arm, near drowning, heart attack, death, and two shocking revelations. Will the besieged couple be deterred or hurdle past their obstacles and make it to the altar (or flower-infused wooden arch)?

Seth’s show Seth Row has made his name a household word with his weekly radio, internet, and TV specials interviewing inmates on death row before their executions. Seth is often the last person to really speak with the inmates before they exit this world and the women in his life articulate that hanging out near the abyss of death rubs off on him and ghosts of his interviewees may follow him home.

Life, death, and love have no boundaries for a cast of timeless characters in Angels Unshelved. It is a tale that takes the listener on a journey back and forth between heaven and earth as Emma Lanrete (anagram for eternal) tells her comatose mother she will give her life one more year to see if it is worth living and to determine if she is enough....

PORTS 3, the final chapter in the PORTS trilogy, introduces us to two new ports: Red Port in former China and Orange Port in the Amazon River region of South America. We meet Meiko, a relocated Japanese girl who now lives with the Yi family in Red Port as she attempts to make sense of unfamiliar and disturbing situations in her new environment.

Ironically, recent efforts intensely professing that people must love and accept one another equally only seem to have increased the level of animosity, not love, in today’s society. I believe love among mankind is out there, but the more we are told that we do not love one another the more the world believes it and fails to see all the goodness that is going around. We are all playing on the same team of humanity...we can all win with love.

In Ports 2, the saga continues, accessing different characters and ports while taking a dive across the boundaries of life and death through the Septarine Portal to another world. Water still encompasses most of the globe, with only 12 ports and an unknown portal rising above the oceans. Much of surviving humanity lives on one of these diminished areas of land and the rest on various ships that dot the waters.
