  The Archers is an exciting action-packed adventure saga set in medieval England during the days of the Templar knights and the crusades. It is the tale of an Englishman who rose to become the captain of a company of archers and lead its survivors back to feudal England from King Richard's crusade—and forever change medieval and modern England and Britain. 
  Many of the archers do not return as a result of disease and intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return—as battle hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal feudal England. This exciting war novel combines action-packed historical fiction with a family saga during a time of almost continuous war and conflict. 
  The Archer's Return is the third novel in this great saga. William leaves his son George and his brother Thomas in England and returns to the ports of the Holy Land with his company's ranks and galleys filled with newly recruited archers armed with long bows and bladed pikes—to earn coins for his family and men by helping refugees escape from the victorious Saracens and carrying pilgrims and merchants between the crusader ports in the face of the Moorish pirates who dominate the Mediterranean Sea and the Barbary Coast.

  For Dick and Jane, Dallas after World War II is a place of promise and prosperity: the first home air conditioners are making summertime bearable and Dick's position at his father's business, the Cadillac dealership, is assured. Jane has help with the house and the children, and garden parties and holiday celebrations are spirited social affairs. For the oldest of their three daughters, however, life is full of frustrating mysteries. The stories the adults tell her don't make sense. Too curious for comfort, she finds her questions only seem to annoy them. Why won't they tell the truth about Santa? What is that Holy Spirit business, and what is the difference between an angel and a ghost? Why is her mother often so tense and sad? And why does her father keep flying into violent rages? 
  Hap and Hazard and the End of the World is an intimate, finely crafted novel about the innocence and vulnerability of childhood and the dangers posed by adults who cannot cope with life's complexities. It is also about the ingenuity born of loneliness and neglect, and the surprising, strange beauty of the world.
