  • A Little Taste of Poison

    R. J. Anderson

    language (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, Sept. 27, 2016)
    Twelve-year-old Isaveth tries to take down the man who framed her father for murder in this lively follow-up to A Pocket Full of Murder, which Kirkus Reviews called “thoroughly entertaining.”The city of Tarreton is powered by magic, from simple tablets that light lamps to advanced Sagery that can murder a man from afar. Isaveth has a talent for spell-making, but as a girl from a poor neighborhood she never dreamed she could study at the most exclusive magical school in the city. So when she’s offered a chance to attend, she eagerly accepts. The school is wonderful, but old and new enemies confront Isaveth at every turn, and she begins to suspect her scholarship might be more of a trap than a gift. Even her secret meetings with Esmond, her best friend and partner in crime-solving, prove risky—especially once he hatches a plan to sneak her into the biggest society event of the season. It’s their last chance to catch the corrupt politician who once framed her father for murder. How can Isaveth refuse?
  • Affair of the Mutilated Mink, The

    James Anderson

    Paperback (Poisoned Pen Press, Jan. 1, 1999)
    The Earl of Burford hosts another slightly batty, thoroughly baffling house party....George Henry Alwyn Saunders, 12th in his line, has taken a fancy to films. He's nearly killed with delight when a movie mogul wants Alderly, the Burfords' 17th century country estate, for the set of a new Rex Ransom epic. The bronzed, handsome star has long thrilled the loopy lord with dazzling deeds on the silver screen.Less than thrilled is the Countess, who's suddenly playing hostess to a Hollywood crowd and a growing guest list that includes a long-lost cousin and a shady second spouse, two suitors for the Burford's willful daughter Lady Geraldine, an eccentric screenwriter protesting the pirating of his work, a sultry, sparky femme fatale, a professional blackmailer.... Oh yes, roles from James L. Anderson's first zany whodunit, The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy, are reprised by Merryweather, ther imperturbable family butler, and the perspicacious Ins. Wilkins of the Westshire constabulary. And what does a mutilated mink coat have to do with anything?.... Nothing can top the merrily murderous 1930s house party for a puzzler!

    Back home Tori was the girl who had everything a sixteen-year-old could want―popularity, money, beauty. Everything. Including a secret. That secret made her very valuable. Now she's left everything from her old life behind, including her real name and Alison, the only person who truly understood her. She can't lose the secret. But if she wants to have anything resembling a normal life, she has to blend in and hide her unique…talents. Plans change when the enigmatic Sebastian Faraday reappears in Tori's life and delivers bad news: she hasn't escaped. In fact, she's attracted new interest in the form of an obsessed ex-detective now in the employ of a genetics lab. She has only one shot at ditching her past for good and living like the normal human she wishes she could be. Tori must use every ounce of her considerable hacking and engineering skills―and even then, she might need to sacrifice more than she could possibly imagine if she wants to be free. The riveting companion to R.J. Anderson's acclaimed Ultraviolet, which is now available in paperback.

    Julie Anderson

    language (Praxis Press, Inc 770-846-5978, Jan. 15, 2019)
    You have been CHOSEN! This is much bigger than the kickball team at recess, or the senior prom, or the job you've always wanted. It's even bigger than the lottery... You Have been chosen by God God has chosen YOU! This 10 day trip devotional is followed up with 3 days of post trip material including scripture to meditate on, questions to answer, space to journal, and featured living stories of modern day D.L. Moodys, and George Mullers that will challenge you to step into the role God has chosen for you in reaching the world with the Good News.In The Back of The Journal: (Just A Sample) Missions Trip Ideas & Suggestions....Packing• Packing your things in large zip-lock bags with all the air squeezed out helps save room inyour bag, and keeps you organized while traveling.• Take everything out of its packaging (toiletries, medicines, etc.) to save space. If you need to,just cut the directions off the packaging and put them in a zip-lock with the item.• No matter how hot it is where you are going, bring at least one long-sleeve shirt. You neverknow when you might get stuck on a freezing cold plane, or when you'll need protection frombugs, etc.• If you're flying to your location, pack some extra clothes in your carry-on because your luggagemight not arrive with you.CuLture• Get ready to be flexible. Things in other cultures don't run on tight schedules, as things in theStates usually do. Make use of the "waiting" time you're sure to have. Use the time to get toknow your teammates better, or nationals who may be with you. Keep a book with you to pullout during these times. Choose some Scripture to memorize and work on it while you wait.• Greetings are very important in many cultures. Find out ahead of time or learn what the appropriategreetings are as soon as you arrive, then put them into practice.• Remember that common body language in the States may mean something totally different inthe culture where you are going. For example, our common "okay" sign is seen as inappropriatein many Latin countries.Giving Things AwayIf you are going to a place where people are living in poverty, you're probably going to be askedfor things, and you are probably going to want to give to help meet the need. Giving is good, buthas to be done carefully or it can cause more damage than good. Make sure your giving is doneappropriately.• Be careful about not giving things in a way that will create jealousy or cause fighting. If yougive your watch to a child, all the others will want it and it may be stolen.• It is best not to give money to people. It may not be used for the purpose you intend. Also, ifchildren who are begging make enough money doing it, parents may not think it is worthwhileto send the children to school, etc.
