The year is 1874. Gray Wehr is a complex man, an enigma. Saddled with a deserved but unsought reputation, he longs for a quiet life, a chance to make amends. Gray wants no part of it, but his past life won't die. When an old friend comes seeking a savior, he faces an agonizing decision. Does he play the role of redeemer, honor a lifetime dedication to friendship and try to save her captured family, or reject her plea that will lead him back into the brutality of the past? Without pursuit, there will be no deliverance, but there are no guarantees, except that people will die.Pursuit progresses at an exciting pace, growing in emotional intensity as it moves. Strong characters, both male and female, are presented in a rugged, historically accurate western setting. Pursuit is a tale of individual heroism and of cruelty. It is both uplifting and achingly moving.

Following a small courthouse wedding, criminal defense attorney Adam Kennedy and his bride Ellen, a high-school teacher and tennis coach, set sail for a weekend, honeymoon cruise to Kelleys Island. Their idyllic bubble bursts when hijackers board their sailboat in the middle of the night and order them at gunpoint to make it to a rendezvous point before daylight, or die. While fighting terrible weather conditions on Lake Erie, Adam and Ellen are shocked to discover that the contraband they are transporting is not drugs, as they suspected, but two teenage girls. The realization that they are unwilling participants in a human trafficking scheme forces them to confront an agonizing decision when, with time running out, the opportunity to save themselves presents itself. Can they live with themselves if they walk away, or do they stay and risk their own lives, on the off chance that they can rescue these young women, whom they barely know, from the horrors of life as sex slaves?

Echelon agent Michael Larson navigates the worlds of espionage and politics to keep America from crumbling. All while a silent enemy consolidates power. The election of an inexperienced and controversial president threatens to plunge America into chaos. When a prominent demographist is abducted shortly after a deadly riot in Charlottesville, Virginia, Echelon agent Michael Larson is the only one who connects the two events. Echelon tracks the growing threat of domestic extremism. It doesn't take Larson long to discover that a very real foe is gaining power-the alterative right. More acts of violence are promised. All evidence points to someone in the highest ranks of the federal government helping them. A prolific newcomer named Samit Bathari bursts onto the scene. And although he seems like the answer to all of America's problems, he has his own dark past that must be reckoned with as democracy and the country's very fabric are endangered.

"Vice Versa mischievously turns the 2020 election upside down. With his sharp wit and fast-paced dialogue, Goodwin's portrayal of partisan American politics will cause the reader to both laugh out loud and maybe quietly mourn."--William Smith, PhD, author of Democracy and Imperialism Vice Versa offers an incisive and funny send up of the 2020 presidential election. Goodwin is tough on both sides of the political spectrum. And by making us smile, he also shows a way out of our divisive politics.--Nadia Schadlow, Former White House Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy, Sr. Fellow The Hudson Institute and author, War and the Art of Governance: Consolidating Combat Success Into Political VictoryImagine if the 2020 presidential election were the mirror image of 2016, as the Biden campaign is accused of receiving aid from the People's Republic of China. In this alternative universe, the media is mostly pro-Trump and the FBI rife with MAGA supporters. Gary Wang, a low-level Biden staffer, somehow becomes the center of the maelstrom and is pursued by the media, politicians, and the FBI. Vice Versa is a satirical take on the comedy and tragedy of current American media and politics. Michael Goodwin has adopted an understated but commendable style of writing with Vice Versa. There is no slapstick comedy here, simply a well-written account where the ironies of American politics are subtly portrayed, but nevertheless in a bold and hard-hitting manner. Vice Versa exposes the ugly side of politics, from the informants, lobbyists, leaks to the press, disinformation, abuse of social media, and divided loyalties, to the bribery and corruption over campaign funding.-Reviewed by Leonard William Smuts for Readers' Favorite

"In March, 2010, during a routine exam, Mary Northcutt was diagnosed with cancer. With one word, our lives were changed, forever. For us, the World truly had Shifted. It's Stage 4, they said. It's incurable, they said. You've got maybe a year.As it turned out, Mary had more than six years, and I was with her every step of the way.This is our story. It is a story of love, courage, faith, and hope. Mary lived her life to the fullest extent, and never gave up hope, even when hope was all that was left her. She taught those around her how to live, to love, to never compromise with life. She taught us the meaning of friendship, and the power of faith. Mary once said she thanked God for giving her cancer because it taught her to value life. We learned together that when your days are numbered you must make every day count.Mary left the world a better place for her having been in it. It is in part because of her spirit that I am donating $1 for every copy sold to cancer research."
