Some times you can come back to your old home town and it is a great experience. But when you return to fine your old home town is now a disaster; being run by leaders that aren't the most truthful on earth, it is heartbreaking. This book also covers a ruthless leader, but local murders, and a short history of the school system by a teacher from the past Some of the trouble in the town, that may be happening in your town, is the bias from town fathers. One area, the Haverhill Heritage Commission, has been obliterated by absolute rule from the Select Board Chairman. I hope you do not have a politician like him in your town. His rule is ... It's my way or the highway. If he gets caught in a lie; he simply tells another

No, I am not really a crime solver, but, however, I have been the victim or unwilling participant of a robbery ...robberies

Every once in a while something doesn't seem just right, but you let it pass without making a fuss. Then, out of the blue something really ticks you off and you start thinking of other similar things and before long you are about ready to explode That is when this book started floating around my head

Sometimes common sense is ignored while writing early histories. I Hope to convince you that some, not all, past historical writings are a bit hard to believe. I also give several hints into ways to restore the downtown district into a new bustling shopping experience. I give the hints ... you finger out how

Once you get a certain age, and mine happened to be 80, you start thinking about your old home town.I remember how my home town was when I was a kid, and I am disappointed at how it is today. I'm talking about Woodville, NH and the horrible way it has been ignored by the so-called "Town Fathers"

This book is part of my "Friends and Family Readers Series", an opportunity for people to publish stories mostly for their own friends and family This attempt is by Bonnie Edwards

This effort is my 7th book in the Jason Downer and Dee Dee investigations. Only this one is about an actual thief in my store. The characters names are identical to the thieves that got away with it. The local police wasn't capable of solving the crime and making them pay the penalty, but the Royal Mounties in New Brunswick, Canada, were

This effort is a black and white version of my original books, with added pics and at a very affordable cost.

This effort is #6 in my Jason Downer and Dee stories about the various cases they take on and the strange mix of characters that get involved in solving the cases

Looking back after 80 years in the town of Haverhill, NH and 74 years in the once serene village of Woodville, NH is different from having moved into the village yesterday; not having actually seen the crumbling, the drug infestation, the theft, and the abandoned buildings that are now present, all due to the inability of town management to have been proactive in any effective manner

I have read many documents and historical books but I learned more about history reading these documents than every before I hope you do too

I must be losing it I used to be able to express my grievances about Haverhill, NH in 40-50 pages. This time it took over 100 pages

This is my 4th book in what has quickly become a series of cases handled by Jason Downer and Dee Dee This one concerns a friend of theirs from an earlier case. There are many turns while trying to find their friend and land developer, Charles Demming. If you like the three previous books I think you will like this one ... Jim

This effort is the 5th I have written about Sun Downer and his fiance', soon the be wife, Dee Dee. They are off again in their boat "SunDee ll". Charles and Maggie Deming are also in the book, Dee and Maggie have sold their jewelry business in Tampa and are starting a new business in Belize. They are hopeful they do not encounter thugs that prey on young college girls, having one last fling before entering their new world. Glenn and Trent will likely appear in this one as they have in previous books. They have promised not to blow up people, but I have my doubts about their promises. I hope you enjoy this one Jim Hobbs

This is the first murder-mystery I have written. If response is good I will continue with new stories. Jason Downer is the main character. His grandmother called him son, but meant it to be like the "SUN", hence Sun Downer. In this first book he is called upon to find a missing mistress, by the cheater that is looking for her. Along the way Sun interviews a secretary and falls for her. Looks like she will be in the next book as they end up looking together, once he decides she is not involved. This all/ or mostly, takes place in Sarasota and Bradenton Florida. Sun spends a lot of time wandering on Turtle Beach in Sarasota. I hope you like it. email me if you do ... forget me if you don't
