In an autobiographical piece, “Her Father’s House,” Erica, Theo, and their three-year-old son travel home for the funeral of Erica’s father. As the whole family gathers, the heroine is hit with an onslaught of memories, Willard style. “The Tailor Who Told the Truth” is Morgon Axel, who tells nothing but lies . . . until the day a wild boar comes into his shop.

When Graham Woodard is hired to restore part of a previously lost silent horror film—Angel of the Abyss—the last thing he expects is the first in a series of murders clearly meant to keep it lost. With one-time friend Jake Maitland in tow, the two must now navigate the treacherous enigma that is the lost film, while piecing together the story of the film’s ill-fated starlet, Grace Baron, who vanished in 1926. The closer they get to the truth, the more blood is spilled, and it soon becomes apparent that there is much more to the lost film than anyone expected, as there are still forces that will stop at nothing to keep it and its star buried. The darkness the strange film conjured all those years ago has come alive again with its discovery, and now everyone from Graham’s own estranged ex-wife to the LAPD is getting involved. And the body count is growing. From the burgeoning film studios of 1920s Hollywood to the perilous streets and dark underbelly of modern-day Los Angeles, Angel of the Abyss is a dangerous tapestry of cinema, history and murder, at the center of which stand two men with everything to lose.

Mr. Sims needed someone to give him a second chance. This young Shih Tzu was headed for the pound and possible euthanizing when our paths crossed. I had just started my personal dog training business when we met. He was brought to me for obedience instruction, but after just a few lessons, he was abandoned on my doorstep. My book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal, is the story of our twelve-year relationship in which the roles of teacher and student constantly shifted. It shows the strong partnership we built with relationship-based dog training methods, competitive obedience, therapy dog work, and my education into canine physical issues, both obvious ones and very elusive ones. This story is a blend of dog training instruction, human–dog camaraderie, mystery, and humor and ends with the ultimate act of selfless love. Each chapter has information that is helpful to a dog owner, and it continues the thread of Mr. Sims's story. "Everyone has a story to tell about their pet, but Peg Lovelock's Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal is extraordinary. Peg brought me into the world of a handsome Shih Tzu, Mr. Sims. Mr. Sims brought me into the world of a compassionate dog trainer, Peg Lovelock. This is a beautiful story about the relationship between Peg and Mr. Sims, who she rescued and gave unconditional love and respect. As Peg trained Mr. Sims to become an outstanding competitor, and he won all kinds of titles and awards, Mr. Sims gave his love right back to Peg in appreciation for how much he was loved and how well he was cared for. I loved the way Peg started each chapter with a message and the way that she caught my attention with the phrase, peeling the onion. I loved the uncanny wit of this author. Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal will warm your heart as you feel the mutual bond between Peg and her dog, Mr. Sims, and the love and respect they had for each other. I loved reading Peg's book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal." Linda Caputo
