Lorenzo Giangrande
About the Book
President of the United States, Robert LePage, is amid his bid for re-election when he is faced with the greatest challenge in the history of this nation; the fulfillment of the prophecy by the great Shawnee Warrior and Prophet, Tecumseh, that will return their nation to the Native Americans.
The nearly five hundred Nations of Native Americans have forged themselves into a single, galvanized, body politic becoming the National Coalition of Native American Nations. In an unprecedented litigation, the United States Supreme Court must hear compelling evidence alleging the United States of America was formed with real estate acquired through fraudulent and illegal means. The potential consequence threatens the very fabric of the mightiest nation on the planet.
The stability of the United States Government becomes suspect and the country is facing political, social, and economic disaster. When the situation seems to be at its worst, catastrophe strikes. It is discovered that, through a deliberate act of terrorism, the North American Great Lakes are receding and their very existence is in jeopardy. The St. Lawrence Seaway is forced to close and the Federal Authorities of both Canada and the United States haven’t a clue where the water has gone! The mysterious and unlikely link between these threatening issues lie beneath the arid, desert wasteland, north of Los Alamos, New Mexico.
The global economic role of the Saint Lawrence Seaway System and the shameful plight of America’s natives have been cleverly woven together in an original tale of intrigue and suspense. Built upon a foundation of historical and scientific fact, Debt of Conscience provides a riveting insight into two of North America’s best kept secrets.The global economic role of the Saint Lawrence Seaway System and the shameful plight of America’s natives have been cleverly woven together into an original tale of intrigue and suspense.

Pamela’s introduction into writing began in high school when the English class was challenged to write a biography about a member of their class. Class members were asked to call them up and interview them over the phone and collect interesting details about their
childhood, hobbies, etc.
A week after the biographies were turned in, the teacher announced that she was impressed with many of the biographies but one stood out as the best example of capturing the personality of her subject and also utilizing her apparently natural skills as an interviewer. Her
teacher informed her she should consider using her writing skills in the future. As the years followed, Pamela would find many opportunities to use her writing skills; namely; poetry, skits, newsletters, roadshows and writing new lyrics for existing music for plays and talent shows. She also interviewed interesting people in her Memphis, Tennessee community that were published in local newspapers.
She currently lives in the St. George, Utah area. She is the widow of Kenneth M. Wilkinson, mother of three and grandmother of seven. -

My Casino Lover
Julia Burgman
About the Book
Rachael is a very successful defense attorney whose life was turned completely around. After the murder of her husband and a second failed marriage, Rachael decides, after a little talking with her family and a good friend, to go out and enjoy her life. So she starts to hang out with her sisters who like going over to the casino and playing bingo, which she would pass up. But the casino she liked, she liked it so much she began to go alone. Then one day, she met someone whom she would later call her casino lover-but not before she finds out that he has a fatal attraction on his hands and doesn’t realize it. But she does because it was the same type of woman who had her first husband, the father of her children, murdered because he didn’t return the same feelings that she had.
Rachael was not going to sit back and watch it happen to the new love of her life without saying something or doing something to stop this woman.
About the Author
If I saw this book entitled My Casino Lover and read the inside flap or the back of the book and it was interesting enough, then yes, I would buy this book. I’ve been writing for a while but never did anything with this book until lately. I’ve just been putting it on the back burner along with the other one that I’m writing.
My goal or vision for this book/movie is to see it become a number one best seller in the book market and a number one box-office-hit movie. Because Rachael finally finds the love of her life a third time around after almost giving up somewhat on men, she then stumbles on love one more time.
