Mark Rollins, a retired technology entrepreneur, has become the creator/owner of an exclusive fitness center catering to young trophy wives and socially elite wealthy women of Nashville.

It's Nashville, and if you are looking for booze, women, song, or anything else, you go to Printers Alley. That is where they found Mark Rollins' friend - a lawyer and rising political star - with a bullet through his head!

An inheritance at risk and the discovery of an extraordinary cache of old wines during Nashville's history-making flood leads to foul play and death in this Mark Rollins mystery adventure.

The Outer Space Treaty prohibited nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons from being placed in or used from Earth’s orbit. What no one could imagine was that mankind would conceive of the simplest weapon ever deployed - one with extinction power - to launch from space. The military named this weapon “Rods from God". And yet, it is not nuclear, biological, or chemical. Two women drone pilots battle in outer space to defend their country from a rogue military element threatening to overthrow the government.

In September of 1864, a gang of Confederate irregulars stormed a Union train and made off with half a ton of gold which they buried somewhere in Asheville, North Carolina.
