Life in the Wrong Lane: Why Journalists Go In When Everyone Else Wants Out

"After a lifetime in broadcasting, Greg Dobbs, a two-time National Emmy Award-winning journalist and former foreign correspondent for ABC News, shares the funny, funky, scary, stupid, dangerous, distasteful, unwise, and unbelievable behind-the-scenes stories (including those of his Emmy Award-winning broadcasts) that a journalist can encounter in his lifetime - adventures that are possibly even more interesting than the news being covered. Dobbs tells his stories with the humor, empathy, and enthusiasm that only someone who has covered news in more than 80 countries could muster. He was an international correspondent based in London and Paris. He covered the Iranian revolution and occupation of the US Embassy, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, civil war in Lebanon, and the ejection of the PLO from Beirut; the Iran-Iraq war, the political turmoil that led to the fall of the Iron Curtain, civil war and deaths of IRA hunger-strikers in Northern Ireland, the assassination of Anwar Sadat in Egypt, and civil war in Zimbabwe. Domestically, his major stories included the Watergate scandal, the Native American occupation of Wounded Knee, the execution of Gary Gilmore, and the Exxon Valdez oil spill."

When Fates Collide

"Beginning with “When Fates Collide” and followed by “Mardi Gras Bound”, the writing team of Yvonne Mason and Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc partnered with Brook Forest Voices to publish the entire “Morgan and Herrington” series as audiobooks. The “Morgan and Herrington” series revolves around a cynical, sarcastic female Bounty Hunter named Alex Morgan, and Hope Harrington a downtrodden, mousey secretary who meet when Alex mistakes Hope as the “jumper” she’s in hot pursuit of and slaps the cuffs on. After this zany encounter, the two collude with the result being one of the most tongue-in-cheek and hilarious mysteries written. The collaboration of Yvonne and Andrea is just as unlikely. While they are kindred spirits they reside on opposite coasts in Florida. Consequently they’ve chosen to write from the first person perspective, allowing each to lend their unique personality to the characters."

Dream Catcher: Failure was Never an Option

"In the years leading up to the 1950's, there were not any resources for the challenged. They were placed in asylums or back rooms and left to die. They were never talked about or acknowledged. They were the silent children. The ones no one wanted. The ones who were never given a chance to live. Yvonne Mason has given us a story of success in a time of failure for the challenged. She has given a voice to a child born in 1952 who became challenged. This young man was not put away. He was not shunned and he was not ignored. Ms. Mason tells the story of Stan, her brother, who was never supposed to succeed. He was supposed to fail."

In Search of Sushi Tora

"We all have days when it seems the world as we know it is falling apart, mouthy teenagers, forgotten cell phones, the pressure of deadlines, and others insisting that appearances are what create integrity. One minute you have family togetherness, in the next, festering misperceptions distort everyone’s viewpoint of how they thought it all worked. Lucy Linfeld, wife, mother and former lawyer, chafes at her husband’s demands to present a perfect image to their world in his quest to retain his position as a Colorado District Court Judge in a small town. Previously, they had been partners, sharing their innermost thoughts as they worked together. Now, as his work takes precedence over family, balance is lost, blurring the entire family’s focus. When her best friend's marriage collapses, Lucy attempts to console her in Rome. The two women find themselves at odds with each other. They face universal questions: Who am I? Where do I want life to take me? In Search of Sushi Tora is filled with vivid characters, from the builder who decides to remake the Linfeld's house without telling them first, to the Judge's archenemy, filled with jealousy and a willingness to set aside accepted conventions, threatening to destroy them all. Told with sparkling wit and biting humor, Emily Kemme takes the listener on a fast-paced ride through reality, evaluating the purpose of marriage and placing a spin on how we can survive the trials of everyday life."
