With a Little More Practice (A Dr. Joe Nelson Mystery Book 2)

... the mystery continues ...

Las Vegas is a great place to vacation, but not if you're trying to avoid the people back in Kentucky who are out to kill you. If you are pediatrician Joe Nelson, however, you aren't bothered by that threat as much as by the children beng exploited on the streets in beautiful Vegas and when one of them ends up murdered even his friends can't stop him from getting involved again.

IndieReader writes: IR Verdict: WITH A LITTLE MORE PRACTICE is a competent sequel in a medical detective fiction series, exploring highly unusual relationships and a seedy, tragic mystery.

Mal Practice: A mystery of medicine and murder

Joe Nelson is a pediatrician and the defendant in a malpractice trial when he discovers that his patient did not die as a result of any accident ... she was murdered and soon someone is trying to murder Joe too.

Both books are available at local book stores and on

Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com

Scratch

A young adult novel of mystery and magic.

The Hendersons have a cat named Onyx and he seems to know when people are in trouble and he -- well, he scratches them. When the people he scratches go to the doctor their illness is discovered and they are treated. The two young Hendersons, Bridgette and Renee, realize that Onyx is special but no one believes them. Onyx can see more than disease though, and when a friend of the Henderson is being abused by the mother's boyfriend, Onyx is there to save them.

Kirkus Reviews wrote that Scratch is "Infused with magical realism and some quirky capers."

IndieReader wrote: "SCRATCH is a well written story that uses Onyx’ magical powers to discuss issues ranging from health to child abuse."

The Child In Our Hearts.

A children's picture book explaining adoption and putting forth my belief that all children begin in the heart of their parents regardless of how they come to be in a family or what family they become a part of. There are versions available for famiies with a mother and father and also for two mothers and two fathers, a single mother or father and translations in Spanish and Italian.

Paul also writes on more mundane topical subjects if you care to read any. Many are humorous. There are some people who would call this a blog, but Paul has never been one to follow the herd. In fact Paul usually can't even find the herd, so ...
