Books with title Jigsaw Jackson

Andrew Jackson - war hero and spokesman for the frontier, the first president from west of the Alleghenies, the first born in a log cabin - fought his way to the White House. Once there, he stood for the rights of common citizens, founded the Democratic Party, expanded the powers of the presidency, paid off the national debt, and postponed civil war by prevailing against the advocates of states’ rights. By today’s standards, however, Jackson was hardly politically correct: He also owned many slaves on his Tennessee plantation and sponsored the Indian Removal Act, which triggered the brutal forced march of tens of thousands of Native Americans to Oklahoma. Here is his story.

"Potato farmer and fix-it man extraordinaire J. Jupiter Jackson is convinced by a smooth-talking puzzle peddler to parlay his lightning-quick jigsaw-solving skill into fame and fortune. The two hit the road, dazzling crowds...but despite the peddlers assertion that 'You're big potatoes now,' Jackson grows homesick....This rattling fine yarn has elements of a tall tale and Birchman relates the story with gusto, its gleeful excesses mirrored in San Souici's merry watercolors....It's a rompif ever there was one."--Publishers Weekly.

Jackson knew the moment he saw her that she was his mate. One touch confirmed what his heart had already accepted. He didn’t question it, didn’t deny it like his brother Phoenix had when he met Ellis. So what if she was human, on the run, and mother to three Shifter boys. She was his. Now, all he had to do was tell her. Dianna Lovell was done running. Her children needed a pack, so she had found one. Since her husband had died and even before his death, they had been running from the Black Claw Pack. When the Howlin Alpha took her in, she was grateful. Her boys needed to learn to control their shifting. As a human, she knew nothing about raising shifters.When the Alpha’s brothers take her and her boys in to protect them, she can’t help but notice one of them. Jackson is everything a man should be and more. The boys’ father would want her to move on. What has her confused was the intensity in which she wanted this man.

Jackson is the story of a small town girl who has longed forever to get a puppy. On her thirteenth birthday her dream comes true, but the puppy comes with an added surprise – he is magically able to heal people just by licking them! The intrigue builds as Libbie and her best friend embark on a series of adventures that include a bout with the tabloids, a kidnapping, a dognapping, a run-in with the Feds and her sister’s fight with cancer; all while adjusting to becoming teenagers.
