Critics call the series “a laugh-out-loud, whimsical adventure full of tasty Italian dishes and adorable cats!”
Anna Romano is a middle-aged, Italian woman who is also a successful published author, a cat-mama, and an excellent cook with a hankering for Italian cuisine. She lives by herself in her quaint house, in a quiet community, with a white picket fence in Central New Jersey.
When she is not writing her next book or hosting book-signing events with her publicist, she is cleaning litter boxes and baking Cannolis…but never at the same time, of course!
In this first installment, on a typical day in Anna's somewhat-perfect life, a book-signing event turns her world upside down. Is it a case of mistaken identity or was she just being paranoid?
After being stalked for weeks, Anna quickly finds herself literally "tied up", fighting for her life, and desperate to get back home to her cats; all while unwittingly falling in love with the detective who was trying to save her. How she finds her way out of this mess is anyone's guess!
Find out more about Anna and the dangerous cases of murder and mayhem she "haphazardly'"gets herself into, in the new Anna Romano Mystery Series.

In 2001 Hoffmann-La Roche's drug Accutane was selling in the billions worldwide as a treatment for acne. For those who suffered from extreme, scarring acne, it was something of a miraculous treatment; however evidence started to mount that for others it was a death sentence. Over the next few years, it was estimated that between 300 and 3,000 young people being prescribed Accutane since its launch had committed suicide. Dr. Doug Bremner, a professor of psychiatry and radiology at Emory University, found that the drug did have an effect on the brain likely to cause acute depression in some patients, which was not surprising as it is a molecular cousin of Vitamin A, which is known to cause depression in excessive quantities. One might think the drug company would have welcomed these findings. You might like to think again on that one. The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg is the account of what Hoffmann-La Roche did next, which was to prosecute a determined, energetic, and vindictive campaign against Dr. Bremner, designed to suppress his findings and destroy his career and livelihood. Knowing that the life of a whistleblower is rarely a happy one, why did Dr. Bremner decide to take anything that Hoffman-La Roche could throw at him rather than back down?
It could be that he had a strong belief that the public should be well informed about the side effects of drugs in order to be able to make an objective decision, but maybe there was also a more emotional one stretching back to an equally determined, energetic, and vindictive web of secrecy based on a pivotal and traumatic event in his childhood, which he was also determined to get to the bottom of. From the pen of the author of Before You Take That Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health, this is a truly riveting and emotional listen detailing just what it costs to take on the full might of one of the largest corporations in the world.

When unscrupulous Italian prosecutors waged an all-out war in the media and courtroom to wrongly convict American exchange student Amanda Knox for a murder she didn’t commit, family and friends turned to Seattle attorney and media legal analyst Anne Bremner to help win her freedom. The case was dubbed the “trial of the decade” and would coincide with the explosion of social media and a new era of trying cases in public as much as the courtroom. While Italian prosecutors, the press, and online lynch mobs convicted Knox in the court of public opinion, Bremner would draw upon her decades in the courtroom and in front of the camera to turn the tide with a new kind of defense in pursuit of justice.
Bremner takes us inside some of the biggest cases of recent times and offers her expert insights and analysis as our legal system faces unprecedented forces fighting to tip the scales of justice their way. Why couldn’t prosecutors convict O.J. Simpson despite all of the evidence seemingly proving he killed his wife Nicole? Could a jury remain unbiased in the face of overwhelming public pressure in the trial of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd? Justice in the Age of Judgement is Bremner’s unparalleled and unflinching look at the captivating cases tried on Twitter and TV, where the burden of proof and fundamental legal tenet of “innocent until proven guilty” is under assault from the court of public opinion.
From Amanda Knox to O.J., Casey Anthony to Kyle Rittenhouse, our justice system faces scrutiny and pressure from the media and public like never before. Can the bedrock of “innocent until proven guilty” survive in what acclaimed Seattle attorney and legal analyst Anne Bremner calls the age of judgement?

Millie Hinchliffe lives a near-perfect existence, tucked away with her loving fighter-pilot husband in their picture-postcard cottage in the glorious English countryside. As a mother, artist, classical pianist, and avid gardener, Millie has it all.
But when "Hinch" goes missing with a beautiful heiress over the Atlantic in a bid to set a flying record, her world is shaken to the core. Heartbroken and facing ruin, she questions the validity of messages she receives from the "other side" - messages that her husband is desperate to help her. In this suspenseful tale of unconditional love, desperate loss, and wild adventure, Hinch charges Millie with an extraordinary mission: Put a stop to the British Airship Program and prevent another national tragedy.
Praise for The Ghost of Captain Hinchliffe
"Another riveting tale from David Dennington, author of The Airshipmen. This time, he cleverly weaves together a couple’s amazing love and the temptation it faces with the drama of a transatlantic flying record attempt and a spine-tingling psychic connection from beyond the grave that becomes the only hope of preventing a horrific aviation disaster. It’s an intriguing recipe that makes it hard to put down The Ghost of Captain Hinchliffe." (David Wright, Daily Mirror journalist)

"The Stoddard farm is a paradise because I make it so," declared Tyce—a field mouse—to the glowering West Ender in front of him. "That affords me leeway where the rules are concerned. It entitles me to a thicker slice of the apple."

When a farm cat and a barn owl take matters into their own claws, the consequences ripple through the entire valley, upending a peaceful coexistence.
In the uneasy events that follow, the animals discover their lives are more entwined than they imagined. Together, they will rise or fall.

Aaron Adams believes he has seen the future. He is a cryopreservation scientist and has dreamed of his soul mate, Miranda May, ever since he was a little boy. He is so convinced that she will exist in his foreseen time that he does the unthinkable: He freezes himself in the facility where he is employed.
Thirty-three years, later, Sam LeBlanc knocks on the door of Miranda May and hands her a book - a book written by his best friend, Aaron Adams. In the book, Aaron begs her to be thawed out on a specific date...using the billions and billions of dollars his estate has accumulated since his "death".
Had he really seen the future? The future that saw the two of them together?
Miranda thinks maybe he had, because she remembers him from her childhood...a childhood where she had an "imaginary" friend named Aaron.

GOLD MEDAL IPPY AWARD—Young Adult Fiction
Tracy should have been a boy. Even her older brother Spencer says so, though he wouldn’t finish the thought with, “And I should have been a girl.”
Though both feel awkward in their own skin, they have to face who they are—queers in the late '60s.
When both are caught with gay partners, their lives and futures are endangered by their homophobic father as their mother struggles to defend them.
While the Vietnam War threatens to take Spencer away, Tracy and her father wage a war of their own, each trying to save the sweet, talented pianist.
At 17, Tracy dresses as a boy and leaves her parents in turmoil, with only the slimmest hope of finding peace within herself. She journeys to a girl with a guitar, calling to her from a photo, "Come to Alaska. We'd be great friends."
Maybe even The MoonStone Girls.
