About When Love Sticks Around
Hand-me-down pants that don’t quite fit, twilight bike rides down sleepy neighborhood streets, sweaty family camping trips, the things that almost break you, and the things you barely notice—it’s hard to see the shape of your life until you’re looking back on it.
In this collection of short essays, Danielle Dayney recounts her experiences as an awkward child in the piecemeal family that raised her. From her biological father’s absence to her mother’s battle with cancer to the birth of her daughter, Dayney’s stories venture beyond anecdote to nest safely among the tangled experiences that shape the people we become. With a keen eye for the pebbles of humor and glimmers of beauty along the rough roads of her life, Dayney has crafted a book that feels as familiar as a home-cooked meal and as exciting as the first night in a new city.
When Love Sticks Around is a memoir of love, loss, humor, identity, and above all, family—the one you’re born into and the one you gather along the way.
Those are the things worth sticking around for.

About Cold War Hot Lead
San Francisco, 1947. The War is over. Sgt. Alexander Blade, former kiddie heartthrob of the silent screen, returns to San Francisco to start life anew as a private investigator.
He rents an office near Chinatown and tries to make sense of crazy, post-war San Francisco. He’s got a new client, a real oddball with a husband who’s gone missing. But when Blade’s former Hollywood cameraman turns up in his office as dead as fried oysters (with cash retainer in hand), Blade is drawn into a series of bizarre deaths of former silent film child actors. The cops call them accidental deaths, but Blade suspects murder. To find the serial killer behind the mystery, Blade must revisit a time when Hollywood knew him as Buster Blade, Wonder Boy of the Westerns.
While tracking down his client’s missing husband, Blade finds himself in the ruins of an abandoned movie studio, where he discovers, too late, that he’s been cast in one final scene that ends in murder.
Cold War, Hot Lead is the first Mace Palmer novel featuring Alexander “Buster” Blade, Frisco Detective. He is part of the pulp magazine, noir era of the 1940s, where modern sensibilities barely exist.

About The Mind Fuhrer
Free download from 11/16 through 11/18!
It’s Christmas in San Francisco, 1949. But private detective Alexander Blade is in no mood to celebrate. He’s on a skip trace job in the Tenderloin to help make ends meet. Fate steps in when his assistant, part time fan dancer Paloma Liu Tsong, accepts a new client while he’s away.
The client’s retainer seems too good to be true, until Paloma hears the terms. She must use an Ouija board to communicate with the client’s deceased boss, noted Berkeley sociologist Dr. Roswell Dvorak, PhD. to find his killer. The board sessions are off to a rocky start, downright dangerous, until Blade seeks help from a native shaman known as “the Chief,” to straighten things out.
Blade learns that Professor Dvorak was a member of a Marin County cult called Omenon, run by a former pulp fiction writer named Ananda Vedanta. Blade suspects the cult may have had something to do with Dvorak’s death.
Ananda Vedanta claims to get his information from a supernatural source and says he’s smarter than Einstein. He’s woven his cosmic revelations into a series of science fiction stories that eventually become the teachings of his cult.
But there’s more to Omenon than meets the eye. Within the cult’s inner circle, Nazi scientists are working on Project Mind Fuhrer, one of Hitler’s top secret weapons programs.
What began as a dalliance over an Ouija board turns into a plot to take over the entire planet. Blade gets hemmed in by the Professor’s oversexed daughter, an eccentric native shaman, and a long-haired guru determined to rule the world.
This is the second installment in the Frisco Detective series featuring Alexander “Buster” Blade, former silent film child star turned private investigator. The first in the series is Cold War Hot Lead.

This book provides hope to keep going when life feels too hard by acknowledging the hardships we all encounter in this world and providing guidance on how to rise above them.
