James Cohoon was the president of a Los Angeles based law firm until his early retirement in 2014. As a civil litigation lawyer for over 30 years, he frequently lectured and published legal articles.

He resides in California with his high-school sweetheart, Rozanne, with whom he has two children–Kristin, a lawyer who is presently a stay-at-home mother, and Travis, a doctor who is working as a cardiology fellow.
Besides playing with his grandsons–Everett, Beckett. and Axel–James enjoys sighting Orca whales from the San Juan Islands shoreline, playing bridge, and mowing the lawn.

Victor’s Blessing by Barbara Sontheimer
Victor Gant, a 6’5” half-Osage blacksmith is an unusual hero for a Civil War love story. But Victor, well liked and respected, is anything but usual. Born into poverty and burdened by his father’s past abuses, he betters himself with his intellect and inventions. Despite no formal education he boasts a close friendship with the wealthy banker Ethan. When the town’s shy beauty agrees to marry him, Victor’s life is truly blessed. But blessings like life itself can be fleeting, and when the Civil war erupts Victor will have to make choices, until finally he is forced to bestow an agonizing blessing of his own.
Meticulously researched for everyday life (rather than battles), Victor’s Blessing takes the reader on a journey from quaint Ste. Genevieve Missouri, the patent halls of Washington D.C., the battle of Wilderness, till finally the infamous Andersonville prison. With a bevy of rich male and female characters, that experience the turbulent decade before and after the Civil War, Victor’s Blessing is a haunting love story, that seems to whisper the eternal question, is death really the end?

Barbara is married and lives in Lake Ozark, Missouri.

Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy
About Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy
I like my men how I like my wine,
Tasty, full-bodied, and twice my age… like my best friend’s dad.
I’m a dedicated nurse, and the responsible one (usually).
So catching a ride after a night of drinking makes good sense.
Except when that ride is loaded silver fox Landon Leggatt.
And oh, did I ride.
But afterward, the jerk acted like nothing happened between us,
And left me wondering if the sparks were only in my head.
I thought I’d gotten over him, until he hurts his ankle,
And my best friend calls in a favor for my professional help.
Now I’m stuck looking after this brooding grump (FML),
And still pissed that he could forget me so easily.
But one look has my heart beating faster than his Ferrari,
His hand stroking down my arm gives me full body chills,
And I’m back in his bed again.
This was wrong on so many levels, and now I’m at a crossroads:
Lose him,
Or lose my best friend.
And things just got much more complicated,
Because now I have to tell my BFF a half-sister is on the way…
Baby by my Best Friend’s Daddy is a deliciously steamy age gap standalone romance guaranteed to give you the ultimate tingles. No cheating and no cliffhangers, only a highly satisfying HEA for all!

How can you keep your faith in people after seeing the flaws of the American justice system?
Juror #11 exposes the flaws and weaknesses in the American justice system from the perspective of a murder trial juror who endured months of trauma, the threat of jail, and thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees because of them.

• Having faith doesn’t “fix” your problems
• Loving people is one of the most important things we can do in this life
Her story is one of indestructible hope rising out of the ashes of tragedy. If you like courtroom drama and stories of people overcoming trials and tribulations, you will love Juror #11.

“My name is Mercy Young, I’m 12 years old, and up until a couple days ago, my life has been pretty uneventful. But it’s 1775 and I live in Lexington, which apparently God Almighty has deemed fit to be the birthplace of a revolution!
My papa was one of the men from town who went to confront the Red Coats (British Soldiers), who marched onto our town green and demanded that we submit ourselves to their rule. There was a terrible battle and papa was taken captive.
My mama passed away a few years ago, and with no one else to look after us, my brothers and I have decided that the only sensible thing to do is set off to Boston and fetch papa back. We don’t know what lies ahead, and this awful war has only just begun, but if I was captured and alone, I’d want to know someone was coming for me.
Even as the cannons drum in the distance, I feel a mixture of fear and excitement at the adventure that awaits us. Slipping out into the cool April night, I can feel it – there’s no turning back now.”
Vivid, heart-warming, and historically accurate. From gritty battles to the daily struggle for survival and comical adventures in the woods, your family will live it all along with the Young siblings!
