The Kidnapping is the sixth novel in the Cindy Lawton Series.  Cindy, a wealthy 6 foot red head and her best friend Rene, a four foot eleven auburn haired brunette again try to rid some of the evil from the world. Cindy finds herself running from a masked kidnapper and his lacky.  She discovers a little boy in her car with her and wants to get them to safety as quickly as possible.  She has no idea where she is; she is just running for their lives.   Back at the castle, Rene and Chief of Police Tim Monahan are calling everyone they think might help them locate her.

   This book is a psych thriller.  It's very deep and twisted.  It's a dysfunctional love triangle.  It's a story about a little boy who was a victim from the time of conception.  A web of lies and deceit.  Unwanted surprises... sex and violence.  A little boy who didn't stand a chance in life.  One who was victimized by his mother and step-father.  He learns to draw his strength from it.  Destroying the evil in his pathetic young life, he turns the tables and creates his own world of fantasy.  But one day, his past comes back to haunt him. 

   With each of the killings, can Clifford postpone the inevitable, or will the past swoop down and devour him?  Could there be any truth to the saying: "What goes around comes around?"  When it does, will it strike you ten-fold? 

   With every word you read, you will see what my characters see.  You will feel what my characters feel.  You will hear what my characters hear.  You will smell what my characters smell and you will taste the fear that each of my characters taste in their final moment. 

   You will feel Clifford's strength, both physically and mentally.  You will come to love the boy within the man.  In the end you will understand what lurks in the mind of a victim who chooses to cross over that delicate line.  Never to return to a world of logic, peace and understanding.  Reality isn't quite the same for a victim, for their reality is a world full of paranoia, hallucinations, grandeur and yes... at times even death! 

When Rob Gipson’s St. Louis neighborhood becomes the target of a serial killer, Rob is convinced the killer is a former neighbor. A survivor’s description of the killer is identical to the troubled boy who briefly lived next door to Rob during his childhood.

The details of the current murders take Rob back many years to a murder that was eerily similar; a murder for which an innocent man has already been convicted and executed.

When Rob sets out to prove the State executed an innocent man, he unearths a cover up that reaches the highest level of government and puts his own life in jeopardy.

World-wide published author, John Borgstedt, has done it again in this new co-authored book, The Advocates … Of the Abused and Silent. Mr. Borgstedt, along with his co-author Theresa Westbrook, has created a book that will both move you and motivate you to be the voice of change for the children of our nation.

Because of the enormous success of Mr. Borgstedt’s first book, I Love You Mom – Please Don’t Break My Heart, his personal story of surviving and overcoming unspeakable child abuse is now available in the docudrama entitled I Love You Mom − Please Don’t Break My Heart.

“When you are in the presence of a ‘real’ person, you know it. They are the ones who inspire you for the better and genuinely share their lives with others. Theresa Westbrook is genuine and I am pleased to work together for the purposes of ending child abuse, helping victims and positively influencing troubled youth.” John Borgstedt

The Advocates … Of the Abused and Silent is an excellent addition to author Theresa Westbrook’s first book, A Strand of Pearls, endorsed by nationally known author, Frank Minirth MD.

A Strand of Pearls is widely used by counselors and others who help victims and treat offenders of child sex abuse, and The Advocates … Of the Abused and Silent will be a welcomed resource.

Using unique fictional televised settings, co-authors John Borgstedt and Theresa Westbrook blend facts, true stories, their exemplary lives and wit into this power-packed, no-holds-barred, ingenious book.

“I am encouraged by John Borgstedt’s remarkable story and relentless efforts to bring awareness and change in the lives of abused children and troubled youth. Combining our personal experiences and knowledge of physical and sexual child abuse, we become a dynamic duo delivering a one-two punch to knock out child abuse in society.” Theresa Westbrook

This eloquent fiction/reality is thought to be a powerful insinuation

to colleges and universities for the implementation studies. That idea

appears to be a break-through to desperate individuals who have

never been fully satisfied of their loved ones’ deaths, in the world

of society. However, complex as the suggestion may seem to be, it

could effectively release stress, anger, and anguish to victimized

families one way or the other.

In The Innocents, Donny and Mavis Bader receive a visit from Jim Porter, a lawman who has evidence implicating Donny in the murder of two men involved in his previous wife’s death.  In return for Donny’s help in solving a case involving the abduction and rape of his niece, Porter tells Donny the evidence against him will disappear.  As the investigation progresses, the scope and magnitude of the crimes targeted, escalate.  Donny and Mavis Bader find themselves entangled in a case involving kidnappers, child pornographers, and murderers.

This is a unique story, but unfortunately, the subject matter is not.  Young people are taken and abused everyday in this country, and often the perpetrators of the abuse go unpunished.
