Diagnostic & Prescriptive Judgment Enforcement: The New Model for Judgment Recovery by Joe Dickerson
About Diagnostic & Prescriptive Judgment Enforcement: The New Model for Judgment Recovery by Joe Dickerson
This book examines why there continues to be an 80% failure rate in enforcing judgments in the U.S. It reviews what judgment creditors and their attorneys continue to do wrong and how that mind set can easily be corrected to reverse these failures and allow the victims of fraud and other maleficence recover their losses. Victims of fraud, theft, family disputes, contract disagreements, estate settlements or divorce and child support matters according to the courts are entitled to a fair resolution. It is then up to their attorneys and team of forensic accountants, digital forensic specialists, forensic research experts and case managers to trace and document the hidden or diverted assets, often both domestically and internationally and cause these assets to be recovered for the victims.

An Imperfect Engagement
Planning her wedding takes a dangerous turn, when a woman realizes a member of her engagement party would rather kill her than walk down the aisle.
So far, Miss Samantha Hastings’ engagement to Benjamin, Lord Westwood, has been tumultuous at best. Kidnapped by the man who murdered her father, nearly beaten to death, and severely poisoned, Samantha barely manages to escape alive.
When the killer reveals his revenge plot had assistance, the Hastings and Westwood families must band together to defend themselves against a new threat and Samantha concocts a risky plan to draw the accomplice out of hiding. However, this scheme may cost her more than she is willing to sacrifice. There is a traitor in their midst, one who has already committed murder and is willing to do so again.
The masked ball approaches and by the evening’s end at least one more person will die. Will Samantha survive until her wedding day or will her imperfect engagement become the grizzly prelude to murder?

Wild Hare by Laura Koerber
About Wild Hare by Laura Koerber
“The world is coming to an end, but my personal life is okay, I guess.”
That was my response to Arne’s “How’re ya?” greeting. I pushed the oil rags and cigarette butts off the seat of his old pickup truck and climbed in. Arne is used to sour comments from me, so he just threw the truck into gear, gunned the engine and smirked, “Someone’s got a bee up his butt this morning.”
I let a half mile of clear cut rumble past the window while I thought about my shitty mood. The low-hanging, pinkish-gray smoke in the sky was getting on my nerves in a quietly grinding way like bad music or the smell of diesel oil: the kind of irritation that puts you in a crappy mood without you noticing how you got there.
Back when I was a kid, I used to enjoy the ride to town because of the way the road wound around through a mosaic of wetlands and forest and lakes. There used to be lots of moose back then too: big, somber, stupid animals. I’d kind of admired the moose because they were so much better at parenting than my folks had ever been.
Mostly gone now: the forest, the marshes around the lakes, the moose.
The ugly fake forest outside the truck windows pissed me off as much as the smoke. Everything was reminding me how screwed we all were. Then Arne asked, “What’s the point of being a fairy if you can’t just wave a magic wand and get stuff done?” Yeah, I’m a fairy. No, not that kind. I’m half-human, half-forest spirit from the wild hare clan. There used to be lots of us, but most of the full fairies have either died or moved away with the death of the forest.
I got distracted by the radio: jingle-jangle music and a lady’s voice cheerfully singing something about “making our own happiness.” I thought she was talking about growing your own weed—which I do and, yeah, it makes me happy—but she went warbling on, and I realized that it was one of those government things like “President’s Hour” and “Fly the Flag” events. An announcer burst into speech, “As America prepares for ‘Make Your Own Happiness Month of 2032’, cities and towns everywhere are planning events to celebrate local business leaders who are creating wealth and employment through free enterprise…”
Arne cut her off. “She oughta give me something to be happy about,” he muttered around his cigarette. I just looked out the window. I hadn’t been a happy kid, and I’d been a stupid, angry young man, but that was because of family stuff: I got in trouble a lot because of being half-fairy with a schizophrenic father and a mother who’d been invisible most of the time. I went through a lot of hassle at school and later with jobs until I got good at conning people and became a successful small time criminal.
It was Monday, and we were driving into town so I could help Arne go shopping. Sort of shopping. Theft, of course, because I’m a trickster who lives by the cold of “Feed, fornicate, fight.” Mostly that just meant girl friends and the occasional altercation. I didn’t know, as I drove to town that day, that one bad thing would lead to another until I had to fight a whole new way to defend myself and my friends.

Author Bio:
Bestselling author P.C. Zick describes herself as a storyteller no matter what she writes. And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction.
The three novels in her Florida Fiction Series contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. She says her, “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife–both human and animal–supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.”
P.C. writes both sweet and steamy romances. The sweet contemporary romances in her Smoky Mountain Romances, are set in southwest North Carolina. Another sweet romance series, Rivals in Love, contains two books with four more in the works. All six follow the Crandall family of Chicago as the siblings find love despite their focus on successful careers.
Her steamy romances go from Florida to Long Island. The Behind the Love series, set in a small fictional town in Florida, feature a community of people who form bonds as they learn to overcome the challenges of their youth. Her Montauk Romances are set in and around Long Island and feature simple, yet sophisticated beach houses designed with romance in mind. The two books in this set are filled with steamy scenes as love grows and thrives.
No matter the genre of novel, they all contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion, and through her fiction, she imparts this philosophy in an entertaining manner with an obvious love for her characters, plot, and themes.
