  Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series. In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance. Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges. While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.

  🎷 In the sultry shadows of 1918 New Orleans, death has a rhythm all its own. 
  When a string of brutal, axe-wielding murders shatters the city’s uneasy peace, Detective Louis Beaulieu is thrust into a chilling hunt for a phantom whose only calling cards are shattered skulls and bloodstained jazz notes. As fear grips the streets, the elusive Axeman sends a nightmarish ultimatum to the public: play jazz through the night—or face the blade. 
  With each new body, the line between madness and music blurs. Beneath the surface of this city steeped in secrets, something darker is composing a symphony of terror. Beaulieu must navigate a twisted maze of smoke-filled clubs, cryptic messages, and haunted minds—where every clue is a note in a macabre composition, and silence could be the prelude to death. 
  As the killer’s melody crescendos, Beaulieu faces a truth more sinister than he ever imagined—one that threatens to consume him and the soul of New Orleans itself. 
  The Axeman of New Orleans is a heart-pounding historical thriller where jazz and horror intertwine. Prepare to leave the lights on—and the music playing. 🔊 
  Some symphonies should never be heard...🎶

  What harm could one night of pleasure do?  
  Cybil Bythesea is imprisoned in a marriage that ended ten years ago. That’s when she fled the cruelty of her husband, Lord Falstone, and took refuge at her father’s estate in Northumberland. Since then, her family’s money has kept the villain at bay, and she’s been able to pursue her creative passion—writing. But freedom, true freedom, has been beyond her grasp.  
  Except for her clandestine liaisons with Will.  
  Will Chisolm is haunted by the past, the tragedy of his family’s eviction from their ancestral Highland farm, then his own foolish descent into political radicalism. Even now that he’s gained wealth and respectability as the manager of a set of spinning mills in Glasgow, he’s burdened with more responsibility and guilt than anyone knows.  
  But there’s something about Cybil—a lightness, a kinship that, at least temporarily, makes all Will’s troubles fade away. It’s a dangerous game. Cybil is his employer’s sister, the wife of his political enemy and for the last four years, his lover.  
  She’s also with child. Will’s child. And their world, their lives, will never be the same.  
  “...an achingly beautiful world of love, desperation, intrigue, a reckoning with the past, and a twisty, emotional journey. I loved it from start to finish and continue to think about it days later in the best possible ways.” - Reader review 
  A Radical Affair is the first book in the Darnalay Castle Series, although all of the books in the series can be read as standalones. It contains strong language and several spicy open-door scenes.

  A small garrison of Australian soldiers is left to defend a town and its people against the might of the Japanese forces. This is a story of those who were left behind and those who waited for them to return. 
  *** 
  In early 1940, Bud joins the United States Navy, his aim, to become a US Submariner. Less than two years later, Japanese forces bomb Pearl Harbour. Those living on the islands of New Guinea lie directly in the path of the oncoming enemy. 
   
  In Rabaul, Joanie prepares to depart, leaving behind her fiancée, those who she loves and many who she has become friends with. As the volcano Tavurvur gathers its forces and bursts forth from its crater, the ill-equipped, small Australian defence known as Lark Force is left to secure the small town. Overwhelmed by the large enemy forces, the order is given, ‘every man for themselves.’ Although some will survive, 1053 men lose their lives when a US Submarine sinks the POW Japanese ship, Montevideo Maru. The seeds of destiny are sown and the lives of the American submariner, Bud, and those in Rabaul, intrinsically linked. 
   
  Will Michael return to fulfil his promise of marrying Joanie and what will be the fate of his young daughter, Gracie, who still turns to the evening star for guidance, for her questions to be answered, and above all to be reunited with her father. 
   
  Until We Meet is an epic saga, based on actual events that continues the story of Elizabeth’s Star. A tale of survival, love and family, set amidst the backdrop of World War II.
