Cagney: Reverend Cici Gurule went to the sacred Chaco Canyon in search of a sign. She's been offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in a megachurch, but taking the position would mean abandoning her Southwestern home and the man she's grown to love as much more than a friend.

Soon, Cici's dodging bullets and scaling mesas with the mysterious man she saved from certain death. With a little help from her twin sister's ghost and restless ancestral spirits, they venture deeper into the maze-like rocky terrain.

The Nebra Sky Disc, a bronze artifact dated to 1600 BC, appeared from nowhere onto the international antiquities market in 2001. The 3,600 year-old object depicts the autumn equinox, and, if authentic, changes modern perceptions of Stone Age man. Naturally, the disc is priceless. In ARTIFACT OF DEATH, a mysterious lawyer persuades Private Detective, Cole Deacon, to search for a missing professor. Cole discovers the professor is not only dead, but rumored to have stolen a companion artifact of the Nebra Sky Disc that portrays the summer solstice. Cole's investigation leads him to Monique VanSotten, a museum curator and world-renown expert in Bronze Age artifacts with ties to the dead professor. Unfortunately, the original owner of the priceless disc, a shadowy figure from the East German underworld, is also aware of Monique's existence and wants his treasure returned. Cavalier Cole tries to protect Monique while hunting for the disc and the professor's killer, but fears for both his heart and his life as he falls for a woman who may have committed murder.

"Vivid, alluring, and heart-wrenching, A Pilgrimage to Death is every reason I love mystery. A breathtaking tale." ~ Darynda Jones, NY Times Bestselling Author Cici discovers a body in the forest. The victim’s wounds are identical to the ones that killed her sister a year ago... Someone murdered her sister. And shot her dog. The killer won't stop until Cici's dead, too. With her identical twin sister haunting her dreams, Cici and her dogs must dodge arrows, bullets, and even a demon truck. Worse, she must grapple with the knowledge her twin's death was much more sinister than a random act of violence. The chase is on. As Cici and Detective Sam Chastain edge closer to the truth, the murderer circles closer. This time, the criminal plots to stop Cici. Permanently. Additional Praise for A Pilgrimage to Death: "A wholly absorbing gumshoe tale elevated by an extraordinary detective." ~ Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "This winning mystery novel is a breeze to read and Cici's laidback approach as a reverend means that readers certainly don't have to be religious to find her relatable." ~ IndieReader

Is it possible to trace the footprints of the historical Sokrates in Athens? Was there really an individual named Romulus, and if so, when did he found Rome? Is the tomb beneath the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica home to the apostle Peter? To answer these questions, we need both dirt and words—that is, archaeology and history. Bringing the two fields into conversation, Artifact and Artifice offers an exciting excursion into the relationship between ancient history and archaeology and reveals the possibilities and limitations of using archaeological evidence in writing about the past. Jonathan M. Hall employs a series of well-known cases to investigate how historians may ignore or minimize material evidence that contributes to our knowledge of antiquity unless it correlates with information gleaned from texts. Dismantling the myth that archaeological evidence cannot impart information on its own, he illuminates the methodological and political principles at stake in using such evidence and describes how the disciplines of history and classical archaeology may be enlisted to work together. He also provides a brief sketch of how the discipline of classical archaeology evolved and considers its present and future role in historical approaches to antiquity. Written in clear prose and packed with maps, photos, and drawings, Artifact and Artifice will be an essential book for undergraduates in the humanities.
