An illustrated version of the well-known song about the passage of time, from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof.

"We vampires are focused and tend to shape our own realities."My name is Katrina Rawlings, and I am a vampire. I declare that with neither pride nor ego. I am simply nature's most dangerous predator. On occasion, it's a very helpful quality. It helped me protect Caleb Taylor one day when he was very young. But that single, traumatic day is behind him now; wiped from his memory, or so I hope. He has finally matured into a rather striking young man, and believe me, I like what I see. I'm feeling hopeful for our future together, in fact. But an adversary from my past has returned to haunt me, and she's trying to get back at me through Caleb. That was her first...and last...mistake. I'll protect my Caleb at all costs, and I'll make her regret the day she was born. So, I suppose that I'm not just a vampire. I'm about to become someone's worst nightmare.

June in Sunset Beach is supposed to be a time for sun, fun and family. This June it was going to be anything but for the families in this beautiful beach town. Little did anyone realize this North Carolina town would be forced into the national spotlight. Terrorism, murder and intrigue had come to visit. Vacationing Sheriff TJ Sloane was out of his jurisdiction but not out of his element. The intrigue quickly became personal and this career law enforcement officer was going to be pushed further than he had ever been pushed before. Sunrise at Sunset is the first of a trilogy as part of the Defender Series. This first book deals with murder, and terrorist activity that is supposed to happen in other places around the world, not Sunset Beach, North Carolina. The players are from around the globe but Washington, DC seems to be the epicenter of what's wrong with America's Intelligence community, and Sunset Beach is where it begins. Will the country survive?

More importantly, will they fit in? Will Akil ever win the heart of the perfect La Reine Jacob? Relive those high school butterflies and teenage dilemmas through this coming of age story, while taking a trip from the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, to the boroughs of Toronto.

Discusses the spinning of the Earth, the progress of day into night, and the reasons for the spectacular colors and shadows that accompany sunrise and sunset.

Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesnt. And so it is with the rising and setting sun, no two are ever the same. Every picture tells another color, shape and shadow story . . .

Jan Hurst is a widow, mother, and retired executive, who built a business career over 30 very eclectic years in multiple business disciplines. She and her husband, Steve, were married 44 years, the first 24 years following his Air Force career. They had two daughters, who both became accomplished professional women and dedicated wives and mothers. Jan enjoyed her early marriage as a homemaker, until their younger daughter started school. As returning adult students, Jan and Steve both completed college while working and supporting a family. Once Steve retired from the Air Force, Jan began her career, no longer having the interruptions of moving and job hopping. She continued her education to earn an MBA and PhD in Business Administration Management. Jan focused on a personal ministry in business to lead organizations and share management approaches to incorporate Christian values. Having grown up as an Air Force dependent, her passion was to show people that clicks and good ol' boy approaches are not as productive or rewarding. She and her husband were both passionate about helping others and worked to live as they believed. They shared a special respect and admiration for each other up until the day they were parted. Jan is a witness willing to share her faith, love of God, and story. Losing her husband did not diminish her faith. Her faith has strengthened."
