  This book is the beginning of my story. If you are reading this, you are either my son or grandson. I hope doing good will be your mission, as it was mine. I lived an entire life with family, true friends, and adventures beyond anything I imagined. I fought in two wars, worked two primary careers, and created wealth to be used to do good. The wealth you will learn about and experience as you turn evil to good. Evil comes from anywhere, anytime. It never sleeps, rests, or needs time off. Many shapes, sizes, personalities, and shades of beauty carry evil.  
  Evil roams through countries, territories, states, counties, cities, large and small towns through people wanting chaos, creating fear and destruction. Countries fight battles to win treasures, land, people, ideas, resources, and freedom or cause despair. Evil disguises itself as fighting for good as it tears good apart. If you stand on the sidelines of life and watch evil overwhelm others, are you assisting the spread of evil? What can I do? I have fought evil most of my life from the shadows. Why is it so hard sometimes to have a life? I have combated evil by attempting to help all I encounter to obtain and maintain what they truly desire in life. Evil manifests by blocking what people need, want, and desire or providing paths leading to destruction, pain, death, or the opposite of what you should do. My philosophy is to unblock seemingly impossible pathways and free people to obtain their destiny by providing help to stay on the paths they were born to follow. Freedom started once I understood how to combat evil with good. While alive, this book is only for you. Your designated heir may read this book, and I hope you will write a book or two. There are secrets in this and a few other books, and I trust you to read them and keep their secrets undisclosed and safe. Enjoy the hope in others and the future. Jedediah Justin Davis, Sr.

  “Oh what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive.” –Marmion, Sir Walter Scott 
  It is San Francisco in the summer of 1882, and Annie and Nate Dawson have finally found a good balance between the demands of family and work. Nate has an interesting legal case defending a young woman who has been left out of her mother’s will. Annie is looking into whether the financial difficulties facing the Potrero Woolen Mills are caused by bad management or bad luck. For her own reasons, Biddy O’Malley is eager to help Annie with her investigation. What none of the three of them could anticipate was how secrets and unexpected entanglements would complicate their search for the truth.  
  Entangled Threads is the eighth full-length novel in the USA Today best-selling author’s Victorian San Francisco Mystery series. However, it can be read as a stand-alone by anyone who enjoys cozy historical mysteries with an amateur female sleuth.

  Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
  In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
  In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
  Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.   
  But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.
