When widower Madison Applewhite, the mayor of a small Texas town, agrees to attend a meeting at the White House, he can't refuse. But after answering unending questions about his town's social and power structure, Madison still doesn't quite know why he's here in Washington, DC. The meeting's striking hostess Gloria Hernandez, a vague memory from his past, enchants him. Gloria invites Madison and the other officials present to participate in a secret federal project, and when the president, vice president, and speaker of the house personally ask for his support, Madison grasps its magnitude. Returning to Texas knowing little more than when he left, Madison is thrilled to find that Gloria has connected with his daughter, and he begins to wonder-is he ready for a new woman in his life? Despite the meager project details, Madison agrees to move forward with the project, hoping it will boost the local economy. Everything goes well-until conflict-of-interest allegations threaten to bring both the project and his budding relationship with Gloria to a screeching halt. Amid political and emotional turmoil and with his daughter and his community depending on him, Madison must decide-what will be jeopardized by letting himself love again?

J. Michael Miller walks the halls of the wealthy and powerful as a successful, respected business and investment advisor. On the surface, he's living the American dream. Soon, a long and expensive divorce changes the lanky Texan's views on life. The corporate world and material trappings he valued suddenly seem shallow and pointless. Michael needs a change, so he leaves his booming business in the hands of a capable assistant, buys a used recreational vehicle, and sets out to see the land and its people. A series of chance meetings lead Michael to Towson, a small Pacific coast town surrounded by forest. Towson is a town in decline, lacking any major industry and denied its rightful state funding. Michael, with his keen business eye, sees potential all over Towson-in its forests, its now defunct boat works, and its friendly citizens. And he sees potential of a different sort in the town's only medical provider, Marilyn Hodges. As Michael plants seeds of opportunity across Towson, the townsfolk pay attention, starting a dramatic shift in how the town views itself. A masterful gardener of dreams, Michael may just save Towson-and find his own peace.

Fluke Family Fortune sets the stage for the comical misadventures of Maynerd Fluke Dumsted who sets out to find his family fortune hidden somewhere in the cursed kingdom of Gnat in order to win the heart of his shrewish lady love, Sue Tew, but that task proves to be more trouble than he anticipates. A sometimes well-meaning ghost gnome tags along for laughs, but his selfish machinations often mean more trouble for Maynerd. Other friends join the fun, such as the lovable five-year-old orphan Dandy May, who cavorts with dandelion fairies; the head-bashing ogress Grissel, who hates songs sung about her; an ineffectual thousand-year-old madman; a retired clodhopper named Sam Simple and his fun loving mule, Jazibell. A family curse and the grandiose schemes of the brigand King Kryan Kruke to transform him into the new national hero, in order to reunite the four scattered kingdoms of the land of Gnaught, further complicates Maynerd's plans to locate the family fortune.
