Earlier in her career she performed a variety of unusual jobs, including executive recruiter (“headhunter”) and wedding photographer. She began writing with Ron in 1989, soon after she earned a degree in communications and they launched Benrey+Benrey, a marketing communications firm.Ron and Janet’s daytime collaboration to create marketing materials for large corporations soon became an after-hours partnership to write cozy romantic mysteries with strong Christian themes. “We started to think about an interesting story and one thing led to another,” Janet says. “We’re both avid readers, and we decided to write the kind of suspense novels we enjoy.” Although both Ron and Janet were published nonfiction writers, it took them more than seven years to master the specific techniques of fiction writing. “At one low point,” Ron says, “we threw away everything we’d written and began again.”Their perseverance paid off with a contract for their first novel, Little White Lies, for a major Christian publisher. “Our Cozy Mystery series for Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense began with our sixth novel, Glory Be!” Janet explains. “We followed up with

He Loves Lucy

$7.99

From The Publisher:Marketing exec Lucy Cunningham is thrilled when her firm lands The Palm Club account. The campaign concept for Miami’s hottest fitness club was Lucy’s idea: take one fitness-challenged woman, put her in front of TV cameras, and into the hands of the club’s top personal trainer, Theo Redmond. And there’s a big cash reward for each pound shed. It seems like a brilliant idea-until Lucy gets picked to be the guinea pig. It’s obvious she needs to drop the pounds, but the idea of letting it all hang out in front of some Malibu Ken jock has her choking on her Milk Duds before she even begins! After one meeting, Theo knows Lucy will be his toughest client and one of the most unforgettable women he’ll ever meet. Smart-mouthed and stubborn, it’s clear she isn’t fond of marching to anyone’s drumbeat but her own. But she shocks Theo by rising to the challenge like a pro. And he finds his heart in jeopardy long before Lucy starts to slim down and turn heads. As Lucy sweats her way into a whole new life, things start to heat up between her and Theo. But trust doesn’t come easy for either of them. They’ve both been burned by romance in the past. Now Lucy and Theo are about to discover that appearances can be deceiving-and in the end, true love lies somewhere between pizza and Pilates…About The AuthorSusan Donovan earned her bachelors and masters degrees from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and has worked as a newspaper reporter in Chicago, Albuquerque, and Indianapolis. Her other jobs have included fine arts fundraiser, freelance journalist, painted furniture artist, horse stall mucker, and aide to a U.S. Senator.

AN INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED IN THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS … Several boats have been destroyed by an inexplicable predator, and puzzling biological samples have been left behind. An attack in front of many witnesses draws media, military, accredited scientists, and bilious cryptozoologist Carl Curtis, who believes his hypothesis of an ancient species confirmed. Lieutenant Sadie Krszczynski has had an uphill battle convincing the Coast Guard that her talents and competence outweigh the liability of her color blindness. But suddenly her vision deficiencies make her uniquely qualified to see an animal perfectly adapted for ocean camouflage. Introspective ex-homicide detective Trey Johnson has come to the islands to escape his past. Now in business for himself, he lands a pair of missing-persons cases that lead him to the mystery on the water and put him back in the limelight-for better or worse.Suddenly the sleepy islands are a hive of grandstanders, trophy hunters, and opportunistic drug traffickers, and Sadie and Trey find their lives increasingly entangled as the hysteria explodes.

No Stable Too Small

$15.95

Here’s a collection of humorous, down-to-earth plays that bring a fresh perspective to the Christmas story through such creative devices as imagining the thoughts and feelings of fringe characters (like an innkeeper or a servant to one of the magi) or by updating the story with contemporary settings and characters. No Stable Too Small offers a variety of practical material for any situation, ranging from shorter plays with small casts and lines that can be easily mastered by younger children to more elaborate pieces with sophisticated themes for older children and adults. And they’re ideal for use with today’s young people — the dialogue reflects the way they really talk, yet never detracts from the biblical message.These flexible scenes offer a mix of speaking parts for all age groups, from preschool through adult, and are especially valuable for small congregations that lack the resources to mount large-scale productions. No sets are required, and only simple costumes and minimal props are needed. The plays can be performed by smaller churches with as few as 8-10 cast members, or parts can be easily divided to accommodate groups as large as 25-30. And with a running time of approximately 20-25 minutes each, it’s easy to fit them within a Christmas Eve or Advent Sunday worship service.Some of the charming presentations include:* Love Finds a Way* It Wasn’t the Hilton, You Know* Christmas Eve at Angel School* Because God Said So, That’s Why* No Small Parts* “Unto Us a Child Is Born”… Next on Omar* Miracles? No Problem!…and eight more!Lois Anne DeLong is currently a freelance writer and editor in Bay Shore, New York.

In Surviving the Toughest Race on Earth, the reader sees through Marty’s eyes, feels his joy and his pain, experiences adventure racing close up.

So he quits. While building a new life as a freelance sports journalist, Dugard snatches the opportunity to cover the Raid Gauloises, the notorious eight- to twelve-day race across hundreds of some of the most forbidding miles on the planet. The race pits teams from around the world against hostile wilderness, extreme weather, injuries, and exhaustion. Simply reaching the finish line is a victory.

We’re there with Dugard when, after three years of reporting the Raid Gauloises, he organizes a team and joins the race. Two journeys converge in Surviving the Toughest Race on Earth.
