The fight to live started at birth and would continue for almost fifty years. From the Pit to the Palace is a story of a young woman who knew God had more for her in this life. Unfortunately, because of her own stubbornness, the freedom that awaited her was delayed.
With trial after trial, test after test, God never left my side. It wasn't until I fully surrendered my will for his plan that I began to experience freedom. This book will encourage and inspire readers to walk fully in the light of God, knowing that his word is true. "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee" (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Whether Val gets out of this alive or not, one thing's for sure -- she'll never trust the internet again....

With an old nemesis breathing down her back and a dear friend missing in action, Val soon finds herself jonesing for more than ordinary justice.
Who'll win the battle of wills? Who'll lose? And who in the world is Sir Albert Snoggles, III?
Come along for the ride as Val's "Hammer of Justice" lays waste to atrocities of both the ceramic and non-ceramic kind -- and the gang learns that when you mess around with Karma, just who ends up dealing the final blow is anybody's guess.

Or is it?
Something fishy is going on at the beach, and it's going to take all the wits Val can muster to put a pig-headed developer out to pasture. But with her friend Goober missing in action, can Val get her act - and her troops - together in time to keep Sunset Beach from being wiped off the map?

Описание: La Dolce Vita or Bust(The Stand-Alone Prequel to the Best-Selling Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series!)
We've all dreamed of ditching everything and running off to another country -- but almost no one actually ever does.

In the race to rediscover herself, what awaits Val at the finish line may be a completely unexpected type of victory.... Will Val score a home run? Or will she just want to run home?
If you've ever dreamed of ditching your life and running off to Europe, now's your chance! Join Val on a roller-coaster ride through Europe that will leave you gasping! From gut-busting hilarity to gut-wrenching gaffs, finding yourself again is always worth the price of admission. Get your ticket now!
Absolute Zero is a full-length, stand-alone novel. It's also the funny, yet often heart-wrenching prequel to the hilarious Val Fremden Midlife Mystery Series.
Absolute Zero is not a mystery, per se. (Unless you count the mystery of why in the world we do the crazy things we do!) Instead, this novel is a satirical look at starting over after forty. Just like life, it's full of ups and downs - especially as told through the eyes of a sharp-witted, reluctantly redneck woman who's always played it safe - until now. Freedom comes at a great price for Val. Will it be worth it? Well, that's up to you....
Pick up a copy and come along for a tour of Italy, Germany, and the human heart.
