Cruising (Adventures of Chief and Sarge, Book 1)
Appointed Time (Sands of Time Trilogy, Book 1)
Professor Noah Roth is possessive of his children – the children he created by genetic manipulation. When Ben and Hope took Holly and Blake in order to give them a better life, they knew their days were numbered. Continuously looking over their shoulders, they still missed it when the Clinic made their move by sending a group, along with two gifted after them. Adam and Deanna Roth thought they were on the right side of things, until they ran into the other two gifted – Holly and Blake. Presented with another perspective, Deanna and Adam agree to help Holly, Blake, and Sheriff Wyatt rescue Hope and Ben, as long as they help Deanna and Adam rescue the other siblings still under the control of Professor Roth. As the five head toward Maine, the youth group kids who became close to Blake and Holly over the last few weeks, decided to help them by doing research. Unbeknownst to them, they stumbled onto information the Clinic did not want out. After each of their homes were invaded, the kids had to make a choice – join the others in the rescue attempt, or stay home, therefore putting their families in danger. Will they make it in time to help the others, or will they be too late? It’s a Race Against Time!
Joshua 1:9 – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Appointed Time (Sands of Time Trilogy, Book 1)
Cruising (Adventures of Chief and Sarge, Book 1)
Appointed Time (Sands of Time Trilogy, Book 1)
All we have in this life is the time we are granted. Like sands of the sea shore, our lives depend on where we land. Some grains of sand land in an oyster, and are turned into beautiful pearls. Some land in the bottom of the sea floor, and become beds for bottom feeders.
Blake and Holly Hunt, and Adam and Deanna Roth all were created for a purpose by Professor Noah Roth. There were many years the genetic manipulation did not allow the babies to be viable…until the four. He had big plans for the children. Two nurses, Ben and Grace, had a different idea.
This is a tale of two sets of gifted children. One pair raised in a caring environment, and taught to strengthen their gift with love and respect. Meanwhile, the others were raised under the strict and abusive conditions set by Professor Roth. When Deanna and Blake, who were raised by Professor Roth, are set free to retrieve the other two by whatever means necessary, chaos ensues. The first explosion will take place in a quiet little East Texas town called Willow Bend.
Proverbs 27:1 – “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”
