  One man's temper may be the other's salvation. 
   
   
   
  Dillon Thorne went from almost getting kicked out of the Army to being a revered member of a Special Forces unit. When his commanding officer orders him on a protection detail, it's the last thing he wants to do. He's a weapons expert, not a babysitter. 
   
   
   
  Luke Rhine worked his way up through the Army and retired as a general. Life should have been smooth sailing. Only, things aren't going as well as he'd like. For one, someone wants him dead. For another, he's attracted to the soldier who's assigned to his protection detail, and damn if he doesn't want to kiss that smirk off Dillon's face. 
   
   
   
  There's a problem. Dillon doesn’t do relationships and Luke's too old for anything else. 
   
   
   
  But one thing is clear . . . when the bad guys show up, Dillon will do whatever it takes to keep Luke alive.

  It's a few weeks until Halloween and Día de Los Muertos. Tula's friend Carmen has convinced her to go to a new event called Night of the Calavera. It's meant to celebrate the two holidays in the nearby town of Driftwood, Texas, not far from Tula in Slaughter Creek. 
   
   
   
  Tula adores Halloween, but Dia de Los Muertos is the night she loves. Every year, she leaves Slaughter Creek and celebrates on her own in a different location. 
   
   
   
  Despite the forecast set for rain after a week of storms, Tula agrees to go to Night of the Calavera, held at an abandoned petting zoo on a farm. Plus, she wants to get her mind off someone she has admired from afar but is unavailable. 
   
   
   
  When they arrive, the event looks like a total flop with not many people there and even fewer vendors. Little does Tula know that the Calavera is real. And it's out for blood.

  Sand and Foamby Kahlil GibranNarrated by Denis DalyThis collection of aphorisms, poems and parables has been described as the reflections of a  philosopher watching from  his  window  and commenting on the scenes passing before him. Barbara Young in her biographical study of Gibran, "The Man from Lebanon,"assessed this text as follows: "Sand and  Foam  is  a  book  that  will penetrate  the  consciousness deeply  and  inevitably,  as  The Prophet has done. It is my opinion, and I have often heard  others express it as their  own, that there is not in the language another book of its character, a book that has not only three dimensions — height, depth, and breadth -but also the fourth dimension, timelessness, which is but another word for time unbounded, limitless......"Production copyright 2024  Voices of Today.
