From Estonia to Michigan: A Story of War, Exile and Community

Estonians have contributed to the cultural mosaic and economy of Michigan far more than one might imagine. There are many Estonians living throughout Michigan, the largest enclave being in the Detroit area. The underlying goal of Estonians is to maintain their language and culture while still being an integral part of the community. Many Estonians came to Michigan after World War II, found gainful employment, and purchased homes. Most sought to re-educate themselves and struggled to educate their children in Michigan’s many colleges and universities.

From Estonia to Michigan examines Estonian history and describes how World War II culminated in famine and death, causing many to flee their motherland. After the war ended, most Estonian emigrants made their way to Sweden or Germany, where they lived in displaced persons camps. From there they were sponsored by individuals or organizations and moved to other parts of the world. Many came to Canada and the United States.

Three Brands of Murder

Jack the Ripper brutally butchered women with a knife. Elizabeth Short, who some have called the “Black Dahlia”, was tortured and cut in two, with her body staged to shock those who viewed it. The Zodiac Killer attacked couples parked on deserted roads and on lake shores. Investigators never identified those killers. But why? The reasons cross a hundred years but were very much the same.

The investigators cast the cases using brands they were familiar with, but which were the wrong ones. If we step back and examine the evidence, what can we be sure of? How far can we go to identify the killers? By using a modern, unbiased perspective not intended to prove any specific theory, can we do better than the original investigators did?

You might be surprised by what we can establish with an unbiased look at the original evidence. We can get rid of the hype and the attempts to focus on personal theories; we can expose the unknown faces of killers who have hidden behind the dark shadows of uncertainty for too long.

Was Jack the Ripper attempting to gather his victim’s heads? Was the body of the “Black Dahlia” purposely mutilated to mimic a serial killer’s signature? Did police funnel all evidence through the wrong theory, ignoring evidence that could have proved who Zodiac really was? This book answers those questions and defines what really happened so long ago.

Valemont's Game

Haylee has been through so much in her young life. Her parents’ divorce, a drug addiction, a criminal case that led to the world’s worst group home visit, even her own sister’s suicide. She comes from a world of structure and discipline, but she herself is made of glass, breaking at every turn, every mistake, every tragedy. What’s the cure for all of it? Certainly not sending her to Valemont Prep. The ruthless school she’s been destined to attend since birth, a school she’s been avoiding since she was a little girl. With bluestone walls and the most funded programs, fancy staff and a party every week, the school holds so many secrets. Revealing those secrets isn’t what she thought of as a good time, but being caught in the crossfirejust might be the answer to her sister’s sudden death. Only there are some people there who’d love to see her burn completely and one who’d be happy to light the match himself.

Sebastian hides himself from others. His mind istoo dark for people to handle. His past, made up of lies and reasons for his shattered hope in human beings. He finds no reason to live until the day he faces Haylee. She’s someone who took away his happiness, who took away the last shred of love he held in his arms, but she doesn’t know that. And the girl he thought he would meet is no longer the one in front of him. What a sweet chance for revenge and the one thing left holding him together, or maybe his revenge is the one thing that’ll end him for sure.

After all, this game is never fair. It’s just deadly.
