NANNY TO THE RESCUE!Braden Rayburn takes his responsibilities seriously. So how’s he supposed to run his newly inherited ranch while being an interim father to his orphaned half-siblings, who don’t speak a word of English? Especially since the onetime pro-rodeo rider knows absolutely nada about raising a family. Lucky for him, he just met the beautiful answer to his prayers.The high-energy boy and girl twins had Elena Ramirez at “hola.” But being a nanny—even a temporary one–at Braden’s Texas ranch wasn’t on the bilingual Brighton Valley native's career path, even if her attraction to the kids’ gorgeous guardian is mutual. Elena’s big-city dreams don’t include falling for a footloose cowboy. Or is the Rayburn rancher already the perfect family man?

A Double Barreled Detective Story is a short story/novelette. The story is a delightful spoof of the mystery genre, then in its infancy, introducing the reader to Sherlock Holmes as he has never been seen before or since. Far from his usual elegant London haunts, the great detective is caught up in a melodramatic murder mystery of love, betrayal, and vengeance in a rough California mining town.

His daughter Tanya, by some unknown means, manages to avoid death, but on the tip of her nose, a mysterious birthmark remains for life… Plague-del-Cake mysteriously disappears, and Tanya Grotter turns out to be abandoned to the family of businessman Durnev, her distant relative… She lives with this extremely unpleasant family until the age of ten, and then finds herself in the unique world of the Tibidox School of Magic…

История превращения человека в Бога с одновременным разоблачением бессмысленности данного процесса, демонстрирующая монструозность любой попытки преодолеть свою природу. Одновременно рассматриваются различные аспекты существования миров разных возможностей: миры без любви и без свободы, миры боли и миры чувственных удовольствий, миры абсолютной свободы от всего, миры богов и черт знает чего, – и в каждом из них главное – это оставаться тем, кто ты есть, не изменять самому себе.
