The Deal
Dwan G. Hightower

   In Washington D.C., a beautiful, blonde socialite is brutally murdered by strangers…in Billings, Montana the offices of an assayer of land development and mines are bombed…and in Stockton County all the old played-out mines are being bought up by a mining firm that is working with NASA but allegedly has the backing of a domestic militant group. Three separate events—all linked by intrigue and suspense with hidden danger, plots, and counterplots.
   Special agent Denise Gibson is once again thrown into an investigation of domestic Bioterrorism. This time the deaths hit close to home and involve friends. It will take all of her will power to handle the alleged corrupt Senator with kid gloves. Working with her friend, Officer Terry Leaphorn of the Napwap Reservation, they will try to prove that their two best friends are innocent of all charges – until, at last, she comes face to face with the real group of terrorists and members of whom she has known all her life.
   Readers expect the suspenseful unexpected from Dwan G. Hightower, as with her other novel, Anthrax: The Game, The Deal does not disappoint. Hightower weaves an entertaining web of espionage and terrorism, which uses NASA as a cover, and delights readers with its complexity and intrigue.

RELEASED September, 2007

This book’s thick plot, as with all good thrillers, begins with a murder scene. The protagonist is, of course, an FBI employee researching domestic terror threats who becomes inextricably tied with the murder victim in ways that weave her into the fabric of the very terror plots she fears. In short, The Deal is a well-thought-out thriller that conforms to the modern ideas of action, mystery, and adventure while still remaining plausible and, even more amazingly, pertinent to the world in which we now live. For an exciting look into terror and conspiracy mingled with murder, adventure, and even some romance, Dwan G. Hightower’s newest novel just might be the ticket. Other books: Anthrax: The Game

Matchless
Kenneth Robbins

Why didn’t William Tecumseh Sherman continue those fires he set from Atlanta almost to the sea? Robbins imagines Celestine, a spirited, individualistic young lady who discomfits her father and friends by sending a letter to Sherman, whose march through Georgia has frightened all, inviting him to their home for Christmas dinner. The general is happily piqued by this novel, indeed unique, invitation and arrives with a peacock’s proud anticipation.
Celestine has made thorough preparations. Being practical, she has recognized that setting fires takes matches and, aided by her Dorcas society friends, she has pretty much cornered the match market of Savannah and vicinity. Through wiles worthy of Scarlet O’Hara and manners worthy of Rhett Butler, the city is preserved. It’s an amusing, mocking conceit, but, after all, G. B. Shaw and R. E. Sherwood have had comparable fun rethinking history.

Matchless
Coming October, 2008
From Richard Coe, Critic Emeritus of The Washington Post (now deceased), comments published in the August 16, 1987, edition of The Washington Post: “I relished MATCHLESS.”
Robert Jennings of the Memphis Commercial Appeal wrote on July 26, 1987: MATCHLESS “…an offbeat look at the fearsome general and a Georgia belle. Its theme would be that war is not only hell, but also ridiculous, especially juxtaposed to civilian frivolity on which it intruded.”
Mitchell Diggs wrote in the Daily Journal View Magazine, July 25-26, 1987: “MATCHLESS offers a whimsical explanation to the question of why Gen. Sherman did not burn Savannah, Ga., during the Civil War.”
David Hawley wrote in the St. Paul Press Dispatch, August 19, 1987: “MATCHLESS (is) an epic one-joke (work) about Sherman’s scorched-earth march from Atlanta to Savannah during the Civil War.”
Ann Holmes in the Houston Chronicle, July 26, 1987, called MATCHLESS “provocative.”

Yarilo's Dance
Sim Shattuck

An indigent mental patient, Tom finds himself in a realistic fantasy world of pagan Russia, about 850 AD. This fantasy, resulting from Tom's catatonia, concerns the life and destruction of the village of Razryv-trava, and Tom's desire to retrieve and save the inhabitants of the town who survive. Type- characters from Slavic folklore enhance the story: vampires, volatile elflike creatures, and a cruel nobleman who abducts a beloved wife of the village's leader. However, as Tom has his adventures, his psychiatrist Andrew Schalberg tries to medicate Tom back to reality, something Tom resists because he wants to see what will happen in the Russian past.
Tom then convinces Andy to stop medicating him so that Tom can complete his "mission." While treating Tom, Andy goes through a divorce from his wife and the anger of his two children. He has an affair with Judy, a woman with a control-freak husband. Andy feels out of control, trying to pull his life together and ironically comparing it with his patient's heroic efforts in his Russian dream world. Eventually, the village chief's wife is saved, the Grey Prince is killed, Tom wakes up to his current reality, and Andy finds himself alone but hopeful of reconciliation with his family.
