Product Description

FREEDOM'S LIGHT contains quotations from 38 of history's champions of freedom, from Aristotle to Zlata Filipovic,
from George Washington to Martin Luther King, Jr. Included are Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Anne Frank and many more.

From the Author

My mysteries don't usually star crime fighting professionals. The protagonist is everyman--or woman--thrown into a situation new to him or her, involving suspense, and often murder. They must rely on their wits and newfound courage to put their shattered worlds back together. The partial exception to the amateur theme is Run into Trouble, in which Drake and Melody are former undercover operatives.
 

I use both male and female protagonists, and in some cases, a combination. Following is a one-liner about the sex of the protagonist(s) and theme in each of my mysteries:
 

Forget to Remember--female--amnesia mystery. Facing the world as a non-person.
Run into Trouble--couple--the Cold War turns hot on the California coast.
Honeymoon for Three--couple--honeymooners with a stalker.
The Hayloft--male--murder in high school in the fifties.
Hotline to Murder--couple--murder on a crisis hotline.
Aces and Knaves--male--murder in San Francisco.
Catch a Falling Knife--female--sexual harassment and murder in college.
Thirteen Diamonds--female--murder in a retirement community.
 

Series? Gary Blanchard is featured as the protagonist in The Hayloft, and ten years later, in Honeymoon for Three. Lillian Morgan, a retired math professor, is the protagonist in Thirteen Diamonds and Catch a Falling Knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference for History Students, May 24, 2009
By 
This review is from: Freedom's Light: Quotations from History's Champions of Freedom (Kindle Edition)
Those of you who value your personal freedom, or want to find out why you should, can benefit from reading quotations from some of history's most avid supporters of liberty. Key among them are the founders of the United States and their forebears from Europe, but the book also includes quotations about recent events such as the war in Bosnia, as seen through the eyes of Zlata Filipovic. Perfect for students who need a quote for a term paper.

We need to pay attention, because as Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." We seem to be doing a lot of that lately.

Or how about this one by Lord Acton? "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Any bells ringing?
