The Hot Body Club is a murder mystery set in Eugene, Oregon. Summer Rain is a precocious, sixteen going on twenty-four year-old femme fatale who goes missing. Jack Hunter, a down-on-his-luck private detective who specializes in marital infidelity cases, is hired to find Summer by her father, Charles Thurgood Winetrout. Winetrout is also Hunter's landlord and the owner of the Hot Body Club, a sleazy strip bar. Jimmy (James) Sundquist, a twenty-something, born-again Christian with a background of drugs, booze, sex, and violence, is infatuated with Summer. Susan St. Marie, aka Charity, is a dancer at the Hot Body Club and Summer's bosom buddy. Detective Lucas Leonard is a no-nonsense homicide cop and Hunter's friend and fishing chum. Throw in a high school drop-out tweeker, two swingers' party regulars and a HUSTLER centerfold and you've got The Hot Body Club, a grisly mystery that will keep you wondering not only who did what, but how they did it and why.

Cold War thriller about daring escape from East Berlin to the west.

"Prepare to take off on an incredible quest through the heavens." Billy Stargazer just won the Bible verse memorization contest at church for his age group, the seven-year-olds. He is ecstatic because the winners get to visit a children's hospital and then go to the fair. Billy has never been to the fair, so this is a real treat. Outside the hospital, Billy meets a clown who has just released the most beautiful balloon Billy has ever seen. The clown explains that he did so because the biggest, brightest, most beautiful balloons are granted admission into heaven, by God, for the enjoyment of children who are called to heaven before their time. Once in the hospital, Billy meets six sick children. He decides to buy balloons for them at the fair in case they are called to heaven soon. At the fair, he picks out the best balloons he can find, writes his new friends' names on them, and sends them to heaven. For Billy's act of kindness, the balloon vendor lets Billy pick out a balloon for himself. Billy wants to be an astronaut when he grows up, so he chooses a silver starship balloon. After wandering the fairgrounds, Billy boards the Galaxy Explorer, a new ride. But when the ride malfunctions and crashes, Billy must make his spiritual journey to heaven. When he arrives, he learns that he must search the infinite heavens for his beloved balloon. Billy begins his search at the heavenly petting zoo. There he meets several unique animals, like Gummy, the toothless alligator; Tiny, the gigantic flying whale; and Scales and Slick, a two-headed anaconda. But each time Billy spots his balloon, it floats just out of reach. Will Billy Stargazer's Heavenly Quest ever end?
