  When a tornado nearly wipes the town of Croy, Oklahoma, off the map, Lerner Alquist, its wealthiest citizen, vows to memorialize the wife he lost by building a magnificent library. It is a splendid goal, but hard times keep delaying it. By 1952, Alquist needs one final ornament to make it complete: a sculpture over the main entrance. Pursuing that vision sets in motion a series of events that uncovers the racism, religious bigotry, and sexual tensions that underlie the town. If I Remember Him blends historical context with public triumphs and personal tragedies to portray a town torn between its better angels and its old wounds.

  Prince Everest of Mont de Leucoy—heir to the throne, spy, and double agent—is determined to rescue his brother who was captured over two hundred years ago, even if he destroys himself in this life. 
  Everest has spent his last two lives planning and setting up this mission. But to act on the plans he made last time, he invoked a dangerous magic, and now, as he is so close to success, he is running out of time to save his brother and heal the soul bruise that the loss caused. 
  As the prince’s bodyguard, Cadel McKeon has one job: protect the prince. He never expected to disobey the king or to agree to rescue another phoenix from the Shadow Board in a foreign country. But if he doesn’t help Everest, then everything he set up will be wasted, and Cadel can’t sit back and watch the brilliant and wounded young man fail. 
  Now, he has a second job: keeping Everest in the present as his mind crumbles under the weight of the past. Neither job is easy, especially when Everest’s plan is to be captured by what remains of the Shadow Board. 
  Getting in was the easy part…getting out alive…was never part of Everest’s plan. To save them all, Cadel will need the help of the brothers who no longer trust Everest.

  But Amy's been falsely accused, and Sam, who's still in love with her, can't bear to watch her take the fall for a crime she didn't commit. Amy is holding on to resentment from their broken relationship and is hesitant to let Sam back into her life. But that all changes when her assets are frozen by a judge, and Sam is the best and only lawyer she can afford. 
   
   
   
  As Sam and Amy pull the threads of the alleged crime, they begin to unravel a mysterious corporate conspiracy that runs deep and wide. But as the clock ticks faster each day, the chance to prove Amy's innocence and keep her out of jail begins to slip away. 
   
   
   
  Sam and Amy keep inching closer to the truth, but each step draws them closer to shadowy enemies and amplifies the heat between them.

  Companion story to A Demon in Midwinter
  Kris Starr, legendary former front man of iconic rock band Starrlight, and Justin Moore, the infamous New York Demon and Kris's former manager, don't agree to be interviewed very often. Today they have -- two years after the dramatic events that led to Justin's public outing as a demon, a story which forever entwined with Kris Starr's return to the spotlight, a brand-new critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo album, and on-air declarations of love. 
  On the heels of their return from a triumphant sold-out tour, they've agreed to sit down, get coffee, and talk to the world. About the album, about family, about pro-demon activism and new jobs and ex-boyfriends and dealing with the past. Along the way, they'll cover new record labels, babysitting, classic rock inspiration, the rescuing of cats, and coffee versus tea ... and maybe a few topics they've never gone on record discussing. 
  Like what exactly happened to Justin that night two years ago, and how a demon and a rock star manage to cope with both nightmares and daydreams coming true. And, of course, the importance of love songs.
