DEA Special Agent: My Life on the Front Line
($ 12.00) ISBN: 978-0-8059-7871-1, paperback
DEA Special Agent is one man's account of his experience as a special agent with the DEA. Lew Rice chronicles the history of drug trafficking, the evolution of the agency from its inception in 1973 to the present, the investigative strategies that the agency employs and the life of a special agent. Rice also tells stories about how undercover operations work and the influence one arrest has on the larger picture of drug enforcement.
This work is an inspirational story for all that explains how one man can make a difference to improve the quality of life around him, not for fame or glory, but because it is the right thing to do.

Angel Girl
($ 16.00) ISBN: 978-1-4349-0018-0, hardcover
A touching tribute to Lauren Small, a young girl who passed away at the age of eleven of cancer, Angel Girl breathes the words of young Lauren, sharing with readers how her life was really part of God's plan for her to be an Angel Girl.
As the book begins, God is addressing a myriad of unborn children, telling them about the contest He is going to hold: Whichever girl is able to teach love to everyone around her will be crowned Angel Girl. Whenever young Lauren gets sick, she realizes this is her challenge and sets out to share love with her doctors, nurses, and fellow hospital patients.
Angel Girl involves all its readers, asking them to share love as Lauren does. She teaches us that obedience to and trust in God is also necessary to understand His plan for all of us.

The Mad Ramblings of a Monkey: The Nefarious Project
($ 10.00) ISBN: 978-1-4349-0097-5, paperback
If you had the opportunity to speak to the world in order to help others understand you and learn about themselves, what would you say? Through the prose and poetry of The Mad Ramblings of a Monkey: The Nefarious Project, Stuart Smith tells of the joys in his life: the support of his mother, the unconditional acceptance of a newborn child, and the ability to question and seek answers to life's biggest questions. He also recounts the pain and suffering resulting from childhood abuse, the death of his grandfather, a failed marriage, and an attempt at suicide. Through it all, he stresses the importance of our perceptions of our experiences, and he implores us to express our minds, thoughts, and feelings to those important to us.
At times passionate and contemplative, the writings of The Mad Ramblings of a Monkey: The Nefarious Project, borne from Stuart Smith's experiences with pain and reconciliation, challenge the reader to think about what's important in life and how to show that worth to others.
