Breezee's Shared Custody

Divorce, Murder, and the Dog

Dave divorced Sheila because she wouldn’t stop cheating on him, an activity she still thinks is normal. Dave’s idea of normal is not an open marriage and promiscuity, so he vowed to move on with his life. Problem is, he hasn’t. Whenever he sees her, his willpower vanishes. The obvious solution is to stay away from her, but that’s impossible. Sheila finagled an agreement into their divorce decree for sharing custody of his dog Breezee, likely so she can have her way with Dave whenever she wants, and he hasn’t been able to resist her charms. Now he’s just another of Sheila’s boyfriends, the others being his boss and a mysterious bad-boy bodybuilder. It’s the bodybuilder who has Dave worried. Breezee doesn’t even like him, and she’s a happy-go-lucky Basset Hound. Dave doesn’t want Breezee near the “bad boy,” and he’s afraid for Sheila too. Dave’s and Breezee’s instincts are right. The bodybuilder wants Sheila for himself and is willing to do anything to make it happen.

Baby Grand Legacy

Formerly titled Baby Grand: The Beginning

Kevin Johnson doesn’t know it, but he’s about to live a young car lover’s dream, working at Tchaikovsky Towing & Salvage for the summer. It’s owned and operated by his grandfather Don, who inherited it from his grandfather Alexander, who built race cars for Al Capone back in the 1920s. Capone’s cars were driven by a young man named Paul, who became Alexander‘s son-in-law and was known as the greatest short-lived driver who never won the Indianapolis 500. This is Kevin’s heritage, but his father hates it, doesn’t want Kevin to know about it, doesn’t want him to realize his own legacy. But Kevin’s mother has other ideas, and her marriage is rocky, so she goes behind her husband’s back to make Kevin’s awakening happen.

Baby Grand Conspiracy

Formerly titled Baby Grand II: The Conspiracy

Kevin Johnson and his grandparents, plus his girlfriend and hers are launching his racing career. They’re doing it on the sly so his stressed- out, on-the-brink-of-divorce parents won’t find out. But Kevin is getting a little stressed out himself. Doing impressive things with a BMW 3 Series is one thing. Competing on a racetrack full of determined drivers with equally fast cars is another. Everyone expects him to carry on the family legacy where his great-grandfather left off, but how can he live up to a legend?

Baby Grand Opportunity

Formerly titled Baby Grand III: The Big Time
 

Kevin Johnson lands a driving job with Baldacci Racing, a partnership led by football great Andy Baldacci. But Andy’s partners sell him out, leaving controlling interest in the hands of a company that Kevin wants nothing to do with. Even worse, they won’t allow him to be seen with his girlfriend Desiree in public. They’re holding all the cards too, since he’s under contract. So Desiree pitches her chassis set-up skills to another team, to stay in the game and keep an eye on the competition … competition for Kevin. It isn’t that she doesn’t trust him; she just doesn’t trust Kevin’s new personal assistant.

BoonieRats 

The first BoonieRats - Jake Olson Adventure

On the flying bridge of his trawler yacht the Princess Rebecca, with a brilliant sunrise at his back, Jake Olson hears gunshots and an outboard motor hitting full throttle, sees a speedboat racing away from a dead-in-the-water floatplane. He and his crew intercept the small craft, finding its operator dead and its cargo up for grabs, which they take and use to set themselves up in the wholesale marijuana business. But business turns out to be too good. They need more men. Recruiting at a halfway house for homeless military veterans helps, but not enough to keep up with customer demand. So when Jake finds a man with the skills they need, it’s almost like divine intervention. He’s a suicidal nutcase suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, but nobody knows PTSD better than Jake and his BoonieRats Motorcycle Club brothers.

One Lowly Angel

The second BoonieRats - Jake Olson Adventure


Former outlaw bikers Jake Olson and Frank Schroeder are riding to the 1982 Sturgis, South Dakota motorcycle rally to meet up with their old BoonieRats MC brothers, unaware of the danger their families are in back at the ranch. Another former outlaw biker and his celestial sidekick catch wind of an evil plot and ride through the night to stop it, a foxy grandmother undersheriff goes on the hunt for the same bad guys, and a Native American shaman is waiting in the shadows. One step behind them all but coming on fast is Jake Olson, armed with nerve and a .357 Magnum. Saddle-up for this mystical, Wild West-like thriller taking place not in the 1880s, but the 1980s.

No Former Brothers

The third BoonieRats - Jake Olson Adventure

Mafia-connected bikers grab a six-year-old boy and dupe a clueless stripper into looking after him. The bikers want shipping information and access to a warehouse, which they’re sure the kid’s mother can get. She’s been warned about calling the police, so instead she calls the last man she ever wanted to see or talk to again, her son’s father, Montana horse rancher Jake Olson. Jake books a seat on the next flight out, but his foreman Frank Schroeder won’t let him go it alone, and neither will the rest of their old BoonieRats Motorcycle Club brothers. So they gear up for battle and converge on their targets to rescue the son Jake never knew he had, only to get caught up in the 1984 Chicago Mob War.
