Dear Reader,
My warmest greetings to my much valued long-time readership and welcome hopefully to a new audience. I must tell you, dear readers, dysfunctional families have provided me with the background for many of my books. I think of the entire subject as a bottomless well I can always dip into. I truly hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Dear Reader,
Writing as Laura Childs, I’ve penned the New York Times bestselling Tea Shop, Scrapbooking and Cackleberry Club Mysteries. Now, under my own name, I’m proud to introduce the first book in my Afton Tangler Thriller series: Little Girl Gone.
Afton Tangler, single mom and liaison officer with the Minneapolis PD, gets pulled into a bizarre high-profile kidnapping. On a frozen night in an affluent neighborhood of Minneapolis, a baby is abducted from her home after her teenage babysitter is violently assaulted. The parents are frantic, the police are baffled. As a liaison officer, it’s Afton’s job to deal with the emotional aftermath of terrible crimes — but she’s never faced a case quite as brutal as this. Each development is more heartbreaking than the last and the only lead is a collection of seemingly unrelated clues. But, most disturbing of all, Afton begins to suspect that this case is not isolated — and if Afton doesn’t solve this crime soon, more children are sure to go missing.

When you fall off a bike, you get right back on. But what if you don’t know how to ride one in the first place? You get yourself a hunky instructor, that’s what! But even when you’ve got things all planned out, they can go way off track, to someplace you never considered …
Dear Reader,
The Last Bastion of Civilization is a series of letters and essays written by various intellectuals and leading figures in the year 2041. They chronicle the rise of Japan as the leading superpower and the fall of Western society. Widespread unemployment, rising illegitimacy, and moral and spiritual decline have led the formerly great United States into a period of extreme mob-driven violence. As speculative fiction, it offers a critically insightful look at a possible future based on today’s events.
