Enjoy!First LoveSometimes when I''m alone, I think about the friends I''ve known.When each new year is through, memories fade ... but not those of you.Lovers have come and lovers have gone, some thought they''d stay ... but then moved on.I''ve loved completely and without regret, but there''s one love that I can''t seem to forget.Has there ever beena truer friend? From the very start, you''ve lived in my heart.I''ve had my share of pain, but nowhere near the pleasures I''ve gained.Each love has made me strong and loving you was never wrong.Our love grew and my heart took flight.Thoughts of you still warm a lonely night.We shared a single heart, but we were young and had to part.It has proved to be enough for my memory of our first lov

John Archer didn''t know what to expect from retirement but it had not brought the contentment from the daily grind of police work he thought it might. Haunted by the memory of the unidentified homeless man he was unable to save in the eleventh hour of his career ... he can''t sleep. To make matters worse, lethargy has replaced his zeal. The odds are against him as he decides to find a name to put on the headstone of John Doe 127. Armed only with a few scraps of paper, twenty-five years of investigative skills, and a recently resurrected relenting drive to find the answer, he embarks on a sixty-six-year-old cold case. The eclectic array of personalities he will encounter in his journey of discovery are a scofflaw, a dedicated, long-time adversary, reluctant witnesses, old friends, new allies, the CIA and two United States Presidents! The search that begins with Archer''s troubled restlessness, leads him to the heartland of the country and beyond. What he discovers will span more than eight states, fifteen time zones, two countries, harken back to a long-forgotten war, take him to the majestic Crazy Horse Monument, and culminate in the Oval Office itself! JOHN DOE is book two in the John Archer Series. Be sure to catch him in Book 1, DUTY BOUND.
