Make America Beautiful Again

Family loyalty and trusted friendships fight for survival when they clash with terrorists, law enforcement, finagling politicians, and a local militia in this taut satirical romp.
Terrorists attack Georgia with a pre-dawn bomb spree, baffling law enforcement as the targets are towering billboards lining the interstates. Suspects include eco-terrorists, a notorious drug cartel, and disgruntled outdoor advertising employees. With Georgians on edge, politicians quickly focus on their top priority-how to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
New to the state, a researcher for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is thrust into the realities of field work where his inexperience and instincts are greatly tested.
Caught in the crosshairs is the Worthington family. Not only was their outdoor advertising business targeted, but their youngest sibling, a retired Army demolitions expert, has suspiciously disappeared. Fearing for his safety, the family enlists his Army buddy to track him down, and the web she uncovers is far more nefarious than blowing up billboards.
A Stone For Kayla
Written by Walt Prescott
Illustrated by Kevin Gosselin
The stars dance across the sky, pointing the direction the old man will take on an ancient trail, the Camino de Santiago, crossing mountains and plains to a city over 500 miles away. The idea for this journey began with a stone found by his granddaughter Kayla. The old man would honor the tradition and leave this, along with another stone given to him in boyhood by his grandfather, at the Cruz de Ferro with his heartfelt wishes. He walks with an international tribe, their friendships formed by communal journey and shared smiles. And each evening, he talks to the dancing stars above him, feeling comfort in knowing Kayla, at home so far away, sees the same stars in the sky.
