NY: Dial Press, 2004 Signed by Caldwell. This Caldwell and Thomason's intriguing intellectual suspense novel stars four brainy roommates at Princeton, two of whom have links to a mysterious 15th-century manuscript, the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili. This rare text (a real book) contains embedded codes revealing the location of a buried Roman treasure. Comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but Caldwell and Thomason's book is the more cerebral-and better written-of the two: think Dan Brown by way of Donna Tartt and Umberto Eco. The four seniors are Tom Sullivan, Paul Harris, Charlie Freeman and Gil Rankin. It's a complicated, intricate and sometimes difficult read, but that's the point and the pleasure. There are murders, romances, dangers and detection, and by the end the heroes are in a race not only to solve the puzzle, but also to stay alive. 372pp. Ships in a box, no bubble mailers!.

Waterville, ME: Five Star Press, 2005 Author Roberta Gillis describes the book as: "... a delightful book, lightly humorous, warmly tender, deliciously sexy." Summary: After an exhausting book tour, Ethan Warner wants nothing more than to spend the summer soaking up sun and reading bestsellers. He's rented the perfect place to do it-Sandy Heights, a two-acre estate on the North Fork of Long Island, eighty miles from his Manhattan penthouse. Desperately in need of a break from frenzied female fans, he's sworn off women. That is, until he meets a tantalizing woman at a nearby golf course, with a cute-as-punch body. Her playful razzing about his ineptness at the game leaves him begging for more. Tara Brooks realizes too late, after flirting outrageously with Ethan, that he's her tenant for the season. Pure country herself, she's taken by his bizarre humor and cosmic view on life, but he's just passing through. And she knows that's the worst kind of man to fall in love with. Dale Ketcham lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband Arne. Dale splits her time between writing and raising guide dogs for the local Guide Dog Foundation. Includes a book marker describing two books by the author; this book and First Mate. 248pp.. Signed by Author with Inscription. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. Pictorial Glossy Hard Cover.
