Killer Weed
Murders, mystery and marijuana in present day San Francisco, with ties to the Haight-Ashbury past. Financial ruin threatens longtime stoner and historian-turned-journalist Ed Rosenberg. He and his wife, Julie, victims of newspapers’ decline, have just been fired from the San Francisco Foghorn. Scrambling for work, Ed lands a gig researching the hippie Haight-Ashbury for a museum exhibit sponsored by a tech billionaire whose birth mother was a small-time marijuana dealer shot to death in Golden Gate Park in 1968, a killing never solved. Meanwhile, Julie is hired as media liaison for mayoral candidate Dave Kirsch, a former pot dealer and author of best-selling guides to growing weed. Then Kirsch is murdered in Golden Gate Park. His death costs Julie her job and returns the couple to the brink of financial disaster. Ed’s research about the hippie Haight-Ashbury’s tie-dyed past vividly illuminates that era. The derivation of “psychedelic”? How the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane got their names? All that and more in Killer Weed. Ed’s investigation also introduces him to a rogue’s gallery of characters—a hairdresser, florist, laundromat operator, and real estate mogul— who, he realizes, may have been involved in the ex-dealer’s murder. Then someone starts shooting at him. The pages turn quickly and San Francisco—both then and now— comes alive. Killer Weed features remarkably true-to-life characters, and a compelling, nuanced portrait of a marriage under duress. Their careers upended, Ed and Julie feel anxious and stressed—and both use drugs to cope. He smokes more weed, which she doesn’t like, and she drinks more alcohol, which he can’t stand. Will the marriage survive?Abgeschlossene Geschichte

Confusing Beginnings: The Prequel to Dangerously Confused
Luka Ember-O'Doyle and Jake Fenic's lives were hell. Luka's mother was killed before his eyes, and his father is a druggie alcoholic who abuses him; he even tries to kill him. He's the only one who fixes the house and the vehicles, he works, he cooks, he looks after his siblings, and he gets high to forget his problems. Jake is the hated child of Jonathan and Lita Fenic, and the target of his adoptive sister, Andrea. And for some strange reason, he can't even die. Why can't he just die? Since his dad is also an abusive, druggie alcoholic, Jake gets high, since he's lonely. Perhaps it was fate that they met each other. Jake could either be the death of Luka or the salvation. Luka could fix Jake, or he could break him. They could be crazy to fall for each other...or completely insane to play this lovesick version of Russian Roulette. This has heartbreak written all over it. Pain, fright, laughing, crying, bloodstained and twisted memories fill the chapters of their life. But a fire can reignite, and the stars will always shine.
A Murder Shall Commence.

And by whom? And which convent was missing a nun? Allie certainly has her word cut out for her this time. -The eighth book in the Alianna Winter series.
