The Secret of Fire Five


Book Description

Fire 5 is a special roving unit, which comes to the aid of other fire companies that run into trouble all over the city. Its story is told by one of the men of the unit, Charly Sprockett, and from the very first scene Jack Olsen hooks the reader with his remarkable ability to write dialogue that rings true and to create characters who jump to life. We live with the men in the station, take drills with them, hear them swap funny stories, marital woes and sexual adventures. We watch them razz the probies, initiate their first fireperson, Lulu Ann Tompkins, and unite in common hatred of their tyrannical new battalion chief, H. Walker Slater. We see them crawl through burning buildings, dragging out people trapped within. We join the hilarity when they come to the rescue of a four-hundred-pound woman who gets stuck in her bathtub, and we root for Charly as he climbs out on an overpass over a freeway to talk a desperate young girl out of leaping to her death. But beneath the ribald humor lies an urgent suspense story. Somewhere in the city lurks the firefighter's deadliest enemy – a vicious arsonist who has been pouring gasoline over derelicts and setting them aflame.

As the Beacon Turns


Book Description

Hop up, put on your seat belt, flip on the emergency lights, turn the siren knob to yelp and get ready for an adventure that began in the fall of 1975. As the Beacon Turns is a book that was originally written in the minds of those who experience the world of EMS--Emergency Medical Service--during its earlier days in the mid 1970's when the door of this profession read, "No girls allowed! Keep out!" It is based on true events and real people who pioneered the profession long before the title of hero was awarded. For these young men and one young woman, who somehow braved working with these cowboys, it is a career in the making; one that they loved so much they would have done it for free and practically did. Filled with real emergency calls and unbelieveable antics of comic relief, the book As the Beacon Turns uncovers a true depiction of this journey in an unprecedented way. Toned down to a PG-13 rating, the book reveals the vast variations of personalities and the backgrounds of the people who, throughout the course of living out these events, echoed the words, "Someone should write a book!" This wonderful tale begins with a young woman named Angela Naomi Gates, the daughter of missionaries, raised by her aunt and uncle on a farm in Michigan; then introduces many other characters and partners. You'll meet one such partner, Dan, whose pride and joy is his Captain America van, who is a connoisseur of women's legs and a huge fan of Muppets. You will also have the dubious pleasure of encountering a street dweller known as Cat Man. Then, before you know it, you'll be riding in the front seat or in the patient compartment of an ambulance and will see how if feels to deliver a baby, what's needed to treat a multiple casualty patient and what to do in many other situations. Learn what went on in the heart and mind of these emergency responders. What did they do in their spare time and how did they interact with area municipalities and the staff at surrounding medical facilities? As the Beacon Turns is written with a refreshing spirit and a bit of sass ending with Angela beating the odds of being the first female in the area to join and remain in this profession. She has faced the challenges well and has won the support of those around her. What readers are saying: Nita, I just finished reading your wonderful story.....what a creative writer you are...such an accomplishment....you should be very proud as I am sure you are.... I just loved how q chapter reflected what was going on in the world at that time...put a time frame on things so the reader (me) could put an image in my mind as to where I was and what was going on at that time.... But what a surprise to me how well you handled and responded to those "boys" during that period....I just know that my response would have been very different. I would have "given up" I am sure. or gotten really mean and even!!! I just loved hearing about Aunt Ruth and Uncle Henry....:) I am going to re-read this book and will probably email u after each chapter...with questions!!! lol lol Vicki US Registration: WGA#921486, Library of Congress #TXu-1-029-817




Right Here Waiting


Book Description

He lives in a world of winter. Sled dog musher and outdoor adventurer Nick Dahlquist doesn’t mean to be a loner—he just feels at home in the woods, with his dogs, and also online in his vlogging world, where he’s amassed nearly a million viewers. But he’s just a simple guy, with simple goals—care for his dogs, teach people how to survive the cold, and run the Iditarod. Unfortunately, life turns cold when his lead dog is injured, and he’s low on funds. Good thing he has LadyJHawk to chat with. She’s become an online friend he can turn to, and he’s starting to need her more than he’d like to admit. But the last thing he wants is for some random woman to show up on his doorstep… She doesn’t belong in his world. Chopper pilot and Texas gal Jae Lynn Washington has been following Nick’s DogQuest videos and Get Lost in the Woods vlogs since she inherited her deceased boyfriend’s military working dog. Three years later, his encouragement and help as online chat buddies have made her wonder if he could be more than a friend. What if she moved to Deep Haven? Would that be considered stalking, even if she had a bonafide job on the Crisis Response Team? But she’s determined to try… When Jae shows up in Deep Haven—and on Nick’s doorstep—he’s not at all the man she met online. The last thing she’ll do is tell him she’s really LadyJHawk. And when Nick is tapped to train the Crisis Response Team, he’s pretty sure that petite, summer-loving Jae won’t last a moment in the brutal cold—a fear he pours out to LadyJHawk. As their training takes a personal turn, their chilly start begins to thaw. But is he ready to shake off his online relationship for the one in real life? And if Jae tells him the truth, will it spook him back into the woods? When a blizzard strikes, and the CRT is called out into the storm, it might be too late… Cozy up to this delightful, wintery twist on You’ve Got Mail set in the snowy escape of Deep Haven.
