In 1973, Ethel Koontz is impatient to begin a career as a newspaper reporter far away from her tiny fishing village of Piney Bluffs, Maine. Raised by her father, Eddy, since her mother died in childbirth, Ethel always wondered if she inherited her independent spirit from the mother she never knew. She strains against the warm confines of her father, Miss Ruthie and her confection-filled bakery, Andy the creator of blue plate specials at the diner, and Caleb, the editor of the Piney Bluffs Bugle who dangles the bait of a job to make her stay in town. None of these lures can hook Ethel until a faraway stranger arrives for her best friend’s wedding and makes Piney Bluffs his home and Ethel his wife. She resigns herself to the job at The Bugle but, with her investigative nature, nets a local story worthy of big-time journalism, one that threatens to change the very character of the town. She strips the facade of fishing celebrity Norman Williams to reveal his predator motives. It will take all the people of Piney Bluffs and a host of others to reel in Norman to justice and restore peace to Piney Bluffs.
Miami Moon marks the return of uber sarcastic, classic car restorer and private eye Jose Castillo. A Cuban-American raised and based in Miami, Castillo is a throwback to the days when justice was handled mano a mano. He won't shy away from using his martial arts skills when needed, but he has a moral compass that he strictly adheres to—against conventional thinking and even the law if the need arises. Miami Moon offers a fully-developed cast of characters, which includes the vibrant streets, sights, sounds, and smells of the Magic City itself. Also along for the ride are Castillo's buddy, ally, and tech genius, Jim Gafford, who keeps Jose up on the latest security and surveillance gadgets; and his best friend Nate Devine, a homicide detective with the Miami PD who spends much of his time trying to decide whether to thank Jose for his help or throw him in jail for interfering with an investigation. As in Goyanes' first book, Miami Beat, Castillo peeks under the hood of Miami's seedy underbelly in Miami Moon where he goes up against the Russian Mafia, a ruthless criminal, and a serial killer targeting sex workers on the streets of Miami.
Does your attorney have your best interest in mind? Is your attorney really doing all an attorney can do to ensure you aren’t convicted of a crime you never committed?Rosa Norway represented criminal defendants throughout middle Tennessee, and she used every trick in the book to ensure her clients were exonerated. But when Angelo Bonaventura retained her to represent him after he had been charged with murder, and she eventually concluded he was in fact guilty, suddenly her position became unclear. She had represented him many times as concerned other matters, but always concluded he was innocent. This time was different. The murder he committed hit close to home—the victim was a friend. She quickly became involved in a complicated mixture of legal and ethical issues, to which there seemed to be no clear-cut answer.Rosa had to decide whether to withdraw from further representation and perhaps see Angelo set free or continue to represent him while violating the canons of ethics, but ensuring a conviction—one path morally correct, but ethically incorrect, the other path morally incorrect, but ethically correct. How she arrives at a conclusion concerning the problem, and which path she ultimately followed, is completely unpredictable. What should she have done? What would you have done?More importantly, what would your attorney have done?

Ronald Sexton was only five years old when his father retired from coaching. He remembered very little of his dad’s life as one of North Carolina’s outstanding high school basketball coaches in the 1950s. Years after his father’s passing and after attending his father’s induction ceremony into Lenoir County’s Sports Hall of Fame, Ronald was determined to learn more about his father’s legacy as a basketball coach. He traveled from Louisiana to eastern North Carolina over a dozen times for several years interviewing former players and friends of his dad. The result of his research is this book, Red Devil Tales, which is a compilation of many former players’ experience and portrait of Amos Sexton as their coach and mentor and the many stories of the great moments they all shared as athletes. Now in their late seventies, these former players still cherish the memories of their years as Kinston Red Devils.

When thousands of naval aviators and flight officers gathered in Las Vegas in September 1991 to celebrate their victory in the First Gulf War, none could have imagined that their behavior during Tailhook ’91 would have such devastating consequences for the Navy. Just weeks after the annual reunion’s conclusion, rumors of a raucous late night gauntlet made up of junior officer jet jockeys began to surface. It wasn’t until a female Navy lieutenant complained in writing to her Navy superiors, and in person to former Navy captain, Sen. John McCain, that the disturbing details came to light. Thus began the greatest upheaval in the history of the US Navy. For nearly three years, it remained a compelling front-page drama, even making it to the private quarters of the White House.

It describes the story’s twists and turns, the obstacles and machinations, and the major players many of whom were Vietnam comrades-in-arms, mentors, and close personal friends.
