When the traveling party with Joseph Goodrich concluded a months-long journey west from Alfred, New York, in the spring of 1838, the strong-willed abolitionist staked out land some 60 miles west of Milwaukee. The area was then a crossroads of militia trails still worn from the Black Hawk War six years prior. Wisconsin's statehood was 10 years away when Goodrich began platting a community. He began with the Milton House, a unique hexagonal structure made of grout and built to serve as a temperance inn. Later, Goodrich used Milton House to aid fugitive slaves fleeing the South, and the inn became the heart of the community. By 1844, Milton had expanded around the town square. That same year, Goodrich founded Milton Academy, which was chartered as a college in 1867. He also facilitated the arrival of railroad lines, which led to the establishment of Milton's twin village, Milton Junction, the rail hub of southern Wisconsin.

When Amanda agrees to collaborate with Terrell Bane on a new novel series, she never imagined what would unfold. She's wooed by each word, seduced by each sentence and overcome with passion by each paragraph. But now severed from the fantasy world of novels she's faced with the often harsh lessons of reality. Is their love real or is it a fiction?

In Las Vegas, where someone's playing the odds and everyone's playing to win, the stakes have never been higher. Paris' options are almost impossible: lose his new wife to horror beyond imagining, or endanger his Family and defy the Council. Caught in the middle, he's playing for time, time that's quickly running out. Who can you trust when you're all-in and it's time to reveal the cards? Is his new father-in-law a traitor? Or a pawn in a greater game perpetrated by a master spy. A man known only as 'Shadoe'; an enigmatic figure who rules a spy network whose sole aim is to destroy the Shadow People. Why would Edward betray the Family? Is there some traumatic episode in his past that could explain it? In the dangerous city below Sin City, Paris faces agonizing choices. With few allies, he must guard a secret so powerful the Shadow People fear it above it all else, while protecting and strengthening his new Family. Anything less spells disaster for all of them. Beware of Shadows.

"See without seeing, hear without hearing, speak without speaking and touch the infinite." These are the words that plunge the Jamestown Family into a maelstrom of danger and discovery. In an old, strange mansion hidden in the Scottish highlands, Alex's mind becomes lost in a formless void, one she must escape. Her Family is in terrible peril from the man who calls himself Nicodemus. Will her unknown talent help or will it cause a greater catastrophe? Perhaps with the aid of some unexpected allies she'll prevail, but will she have to sacrifice herself in the attempt? The answers lie deep in the heart of a country hostile to Americans. The journey promises to be long and hard with no certainty of success. Nevertheless they must try. Mankind's future is at stake.

In Iran, on a mission to rescue his mother-in-law, Paris Fox uncovers something he never could have expected, a mystery in the form of another almost identical twin. But this twin has a fantastic story to tell, one that may reveal the hidden seven-eights of Paris' genetic iceberg. It seems his genes and those of his siblings have become a precious jewel that several Shadow Houses covet, chief among them the Borgias. They're determined to steal the biological treasure trove contained their bodies, and they'll go to any lengths to make that happen. But does something more sinister hide in Paris' bloodline? Does he have an evil twin, one that intends harm to his Family? The answers lie in the House of Borgia. To find out, he'll have to take them down hard. To succeed, he'll need all his skills and those of his siblings and allies. But if their combined might can't match the powerful Borgia Adepts, their lives are forfeit.

Have you ever felt someone look over your shoulder when you're alone? Have you ever heard a disembodied voice shout your name in an empty room? If so, you've met the Shadow People. Fraternal twin Paris and Alexandra Fox have. In fact, they can see them. Who are these people and what do they want? Could it have something to do with their recently deceased parents? The book Shadow Games plunges the twins into a sub-world ruled by Shadows and an adventure they never would have anticipated. Along the way they find their life partners and must act to protect them. But they must discover the secret their father hid. Their lives depend upon it. Beware of Shadows.
