FINALIST for 2023 BOOKLIFE PRIZE
In the sinister world of deep fake videos, even the innocent can appear guilty.
Investigator Tawny Lindholm and her attorney-husband Tillman Rosenbaum struggle to protect an unjustly accused woman. They soon learn video can be faked but death is real.

Hi Debbie! This book sounds amazing. Love "video can be faked but death is real." What a great teaser line. Thanks for sharing this book with my readers, Debbie. Happy holidays!
While researching my recent book on the Civil War in Harrison County, West Virginia, I discovered a remarkable character that absolutely needed to be written about, Charles Leib.
Lieb, an actual person, led a short but remarkable life. He was one of those men in the mid-nineteenth century that seemed to meet anyone who was important during the day and be involved in some of the most important activities of the mid-19th century.
Leib was a medical doctor in Dubuque, Iowa, unwittingly ran guns into “Bleeding Kansas”, served as the Kansas territorial governor’s secretary, and moved to Chicago and became a newspaper editor. He was deeply involved with the 1856 presidential elections. He became a closet Republican and supported the election of his friend Abraham Lincoln. Upon Lincoln’s election he went with the presidential party and uncovered the initial assassination plot against Lincoln in Baltimore. At the very beginning of the Civil War, he was commissioned a Captain and sent to Clarksburg, Virginia as the Quartermaster General to establish the logistical operation there.
When he was ‘fired’ he moved initially to Cincinnati and once again gained success in the newspaper business. After the death of his wife, he moved west and became the secretary to the New Mexico territorial governor. He took a position as a contract surgeon with the US Army in Arizona and then went back into medical practice, dying in Prescott, Arizona at the age of 38.
Captain Leib was an honest man and as a result became the “Most Hated Man in Clarksburg” as he tried to deal honestly with the local nabobs as an agent of the US government.
While this is a historical fiction it’s based upon the life of an interesting and controversial individual and I hope that it is an enjoyable tale.

When blue collar workers confront a factory owner for stealing soup at a neighborhood meeting, millionaires start a war against the community’s budding campaign for worker’s rights. NO FREE SOUP FOR MILLIONAIRES, first in a trilogy, can be enjoyed on its own. "Life-changing choices... unexpected consequences," says MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW.
Look 'N Up Invasion is a YA/Adult literary fantasy about a family of primitive, green-skinned aliens from another dimension who accidentally trigger a portal that lands them on a farm in present day California, where they are employed as undocumented farm workers. The two families explore each other's very different cultures while the deadly predators that chased the aliens from their home world hibernate in a cave on the farm, waiting to attack the Earth.
Available in paperback and ebook at these fine online retailers:
Hi Janice! What an amazing premise for a book! The problem line about the aliens, the cave, and the attack are so suspenseful! Thanks for sharing and happy holidays!
First in a SF trilogy, TWIN-BRED can be read as a stand-alone. Can human colonists and the native Tofa learn to understand each other to escape dangerous conflict? Dr. Mara Cadell's attempt to answer that question gives rise to another: can interspecies diplomacy begin in the womb?
