Unsung Heroes of World War II: The Story of the Navajo Code Talkers
(On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines claimed victory in the...)
On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines claimed victory in the battle of Iwo Jima, one of the most important battles in the Pacific islands during World War II. Instrumental to this defeat of Japanese forces was a group of specialized Marines involved in a secret program. Throughout the war, Japanese intelligence agencies were able to intercept and break nearly every battlefield code the United States created. The Navajo Code Talkers, however, devised a complex code based on their native language and perfected it so that messages could be coded, transmitted, and decoded in minutes. The Navajo Code was the only battlefield code that Japan never deciphered. Unsung Heroes of World War II details the history of the men who created this secret code and used it on the battlefield to help the United States win World War II in the Pacific.

Wil's Claim
(In this Christian suspense set in the time of the 1901 Ok...)
In this Christian suspense set in the time of the 1901 Oklahoma Land Lottery, Callie Shepherd refuses to share her husband’s dream of homesteading free land. When Wil heads for Oklahoma Territory to register for the lottery, he leaves without a proper goodbye. When he doesn’t return, Callie refuses to believe her husband is dead. She worries that he may be wounded and bleeding somewhere. Or maybe he decided to settle in the new land without her. When she receives notice that Wil has drawn a low number in the lottery, she knows he will show up to stake his claim if he is able. Confident that she has the skills to protect herself, she heads for Oklahoma Territory alone in defiance of her twin brother’s strong objection. She must find out… Is she a widow or a wife? Her brother Cliff and Wil’s best friend Toby catch up with the over-crowded train, and a few days later, they stand nearby when Wil’s number is called and a tall, redhead, looking much like Wil and wearing his turquoise hatband, steps up to the map to mark his claim. It isn’t Wil. Callie’s hope vanishes as her faith fades, and the void is filled with anger toward the man who killed Wil and stole his claim. Determined to take revenge and recover Wil’s hatband, she lets anger take control. Armed with the guns her grandfather gave her, and confident in her gun skills, Callie ventures deeper into the rugged, untamed land filled with outlaw gangs, claim jumpers, and relentless prospectors. Cliff and Toby try, but can anyone stop her from becoming a victim of the lawless or carrying out a plan that is likely to put her on the wrong side of the law?
