"I think you've got a hit here . . I absolutely love the book . . . A book takes some time or me to see if I'm interested in continuing to read it. However, when I started reading this book I was captivated. I found it with extremely interesting characters. I found it delightful in the way the author incorporated areas of Michigan into her story. In other books I have read by Michigan authors I have found that they just kind of plug in the cities and the towns and the areas and they don't quite fit smoothly. This is absolutely the opposite. The author made wonderful use of different locations in Michigan and it flowed beautifully in the book. I read a lot of mysteries and I find this one is one of the best ones I've read. I'm looking forward to new books by this author."

"Omg! It’s amazing.
The book makes you feel “all the things”. I just couldn’t put it in words. Captivating! You are totally invested from the first chapter.
The characters pull you in. Just when you think you have it figured out, another twist, another turn.
Your heart will be racing until the very end!
More please!"

'DYING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE'
One evening at midnight on a dark Lake Michigan beach, a man peers through binoculars, intently observing a carefree young woman enjoying a bonfire with classmates. Knowing her patterns, minutes later as Cadie McLeod leaves the party and walks into the desolate dunes, ‘The Weirdo’ chokes, drugs, and drags the limp 18-year-old to his hidden truck. As a storm rolls in across the Great Lake, the man drives Cadie to a remote location where he imprisons the unconscious woman in an old root cellar built into a hillside.
The night selected for Cadie’s abduction is not random. Six years ago, on the very night that Cadie is abducted, her parents, Thomas and Aileen, were run down in grisly fashion as they walked hand in hand across a deserted coastal highway. Their killer was never captured, and everyone assumed it was a random drunk driver. However, the truth is far more evil and horrifying. The Weirdo is finalizing his revenge plan that began with the murder of Thomas and Aileen and will end with the murder of their only daughter.
If the highly-intelligent Cadie is going to live and solve the mystery of her parents’ murder, she must escape the unusual prison by her own cunning. Meanwhile, the investigation into her abduction leads police in many directions. At the tale’s end, a fight-to-the death takes place aboard the mini yacht Best Revenge in a raging Lake Michigan storm. The villain and his reasons for murder are revealed - hate-fueled reasons spanning decades that no one could have predicted.
The dark, mysterious, and suspenseful kidnap thriller A Devil in the Dunes is an addictive, plot-driven novel. Readers will be fully immersed in this dark tale, quickly turning page after page to discover why Thomas and Aileen were murdered and what happens to their only child.
TEACH AND REACH FOR CLASSROOM MIRACLES
aims to convince teachers and leaders that love is the key to miracle-filled classrooms. When Wendy Byard first began teaching, like many instructors she thought all her students needed was a good lesson plan and an educated, well-intentioned teacher. However, on her "Journey to Love," Byard realized that what every student truly seeks from a teacher love as expressed in its many forms: kindness, humility, generosity, and compassion, among others.
What are the results of classroom love? Students who find acceptance, confidence, belief, passion, self-love, and love for others - truly miraculous results!
Teach and Reach for Classroom Miracles! chronicles Wendy's personal journey and shares classroom stories as well as the most compelling evidence of all for her view: excerpts from hundreds of student letters she's collected. The book's second section, "12 Love Lessons for Teachers," provides educators with concrete ways of expressing love and the means to create a more loving, miraculous classroom environment.
Byard's inspiring, challenging message can change lives. So start loving your students today! Reach for a miracle!
"This book will compel teachers to question how they teach and inspire them to approach their calling from a higher level."
