They became a team for life.

Contains:
BEAST OF THE BAYOU - 
Thierry McNulty's brother, Senator Frank McNulty, is missing. She believes he went to their old family campsite on Caddo Lake for a brief vacation, but after days of not hearing from him, she fears the worst.

Antonio "Yo" Bleeker is one of the owners of Bag It and Tag It Excursions. When Thierry hires the company to track down her brother, he has no idea what he's getting himself into - especially when he experiences an extreme physical reaction to the beautiful woman.

GHOST OF THE SWAMP - Shot by illegal poachers, Patrick "Pud" Davies finds himself alone and severely injured in the middle of the woods. He's discovered by Billie Crowne, an agent with the EPA, who takes him to her campsite where she tends to his wounds. 

MONSTER OF THE GLADES - When Clint Abrams of Bag It and Tag It Excursions is approached by representatives of JayMax Productions to film scenes in the swamp for a horror movie, he is intrigued. Both by the movie, whose subject hits a little too close to home, and by the tall, freckled redhead, Charlie Dupine.

PREDATOR OF THE PINES - 
While preparing for a hurricane that’s heading straight for the Bag It and Tag It lodge, William “Brew” Estes makes a last-minute run to the market to grab supplies. While there, he heads off a robbery and saves the day…all in a day’s work for the former Marine.

Celeste Hart is exactly where she never wanted to be. When the robbery goes wrong, she knows this could be her only chance to get away. She runs, despite the storm that’s on the way, knowing that if they catch her again, they could break her this time.

SPECTER OF THE MARSH - When a string of small campsite robberies hits close to home, Ray Thomas "Art" Crawford, of Bag It and Tag It Excursions, is asked to help FBI Agent and friend, Billie Crowne, investigate the possibility of drug runners. At the most recent site, it doesn't take Art long to spot something suspicious--paw prints. Big ones.

Being on the run most of her life, Rikki Leonard isn't quick to trust anyone. Growing up cursed as she was, she'd quickly learned to keep her secrets to herself, or risk pain, torture, and ridicule. Cornered in the swamp, can she trust the guys surrounding her?

Not every letter Santa gets is a wish list for toys…

Babs has been adjusting well to life at the North Pole these past couple years. She loves the missions she and her husband Dominik go on to save the children, to where she doesn’t really miss her old life at all. Although elfin magic has taken some getting used to, it does make things a lot more, shall we say, convenient? Especially when hard cases turn up, and they have to rely on help from their friends at Santa Central.

This year, however, they may have found their toughest case yet. When Santa receives a letter about a child who’s been kidnapped by his mother, Dom and Babs investigate further, and they soon learn there’s a problem going on involving more than just one missing child. Dom always said he wouldn’t kill anyone, but this case may call for more violent measures.

They soon realize it will take more than a sledgehammer and a baseball bat to bust up a drug ring that may be trafficking more than dope.

Warning! Contains an Oscar-worthy performance, jingle bell surveillance, a beer, abductions, an upgrade on the weapons front, the best defense is a good offense, and a major wish fulfilled.

Hear a Sample 


Author Henry Elder came to Alta Novis to learn more about the fabled battle lord and his lady. But rather than re-tell the tales of their already well-known exploits, he wants to hear about the couple from the people who really know them. The people who live, love, interact, and fight alongside with them. He wants to hear those personal anecdotes in order to discover a side of Yulen and Atty D'Jacques that few people know.

These are the stories he discovered.

Berta's been managing the kitchen and main lodge since Yulen D'Jacques was a baby. She's been there to see the good and the bad happen between the Battle Lord and Lady. But one memory, in particular, sticks out among all the rest.
