Wolfe Creek Trilogy by Kaylie Newell

Title: Lone Wolfe, Hunter of Her Heart, & The Moonshadow’s Daughter Author: Kaylie Newell Series: Wolfe Creek Number of Pages: 215, 180, 198 Genre:  Paranormal Werewolf & Shifter Romance Publisher:  Blackstone Publishing Date of Original Publication: June 21, 2022 ASIN: B0B25S68XN, B0B22WHKH3, ‎B0B25V3K71

At the end of September I came down with COVID and couldn’t read. Holding a book and moving my eyes hurt from the fatigue. During this time I downloaded audible and started listening to books. This trilogy was the second thing I found to listen to and I was not disappointed.

Lone Wolfe, book one, is about a human who moves to a town called Wolfe Creek to solve a mystery about her best friend who disappeared at the town a year before. She befriends a sheriff’s deputy who agrees to help her find her missing friend and falls in love with him. Maggie soon learns that the town she moves too has a lot of secrets and yet she’s drawn to the town and uncovering the mysteries that are within it.

Hunter of her Heart, book two, is based off of the first one. The younger brother of the sheriff’s deputy holds one of Wolfe Creek’s secrets within himself. The town starts to see him as the bad guy and his long term girlfriend helps him lighten his shadows and ground him.

The Moonshadow’s Daughter, book three, is based off of the town’s doctor as he seeks answers for the death of his wife a year prior, he discovers the mystery of the missing friend of Maggie from book one. As well as peeling back the layers of Wolfe Creek’s own secrets on his journey.

I really enjoyed listening to this series. It was a light storyline, entertaining and humorous at times. The characters are all likeable and the storyline wraps up nicely. I would definitely recommend if you are interested in some light reading and are into paranormal fantasy.

Hibs are forced into a change with striker Florian Kamberi walking gingerly from the field with what looks like a back injury.

YELLOW CARD – Maxwell (Hibs)

St Mirren 0-1 Hibernian

Hibs goalkeeper Chris Maxwell is fortunate to avoid a red card as he has a rush of blood to the head, comes charging out of his penalty box and takes down Kyle Magennis with a wild lunge.

Referee Bobby Madden only produces a yellow, presumably because the St Mirren midfielder was heading away from goal.

HT: Partick Thistle 1-1 Alloa Athletic

Kenny Crawford

BBC Sport Scotland at Firhill

Really entertaining game of football so far here in Maryhill, where Partick Thistle applied serious pressure towards the end of the first-half to find a leveller after going behind to the plucky Wasps.

Alan Trouten had put Alloa ahead by cleverly diverting Scott Taggart’s shot past stand-in Jags goalkeeper Jamie Sneddon.

Kenny Miller had already hit the cross-bar before Darío Zanatta was in the right place to convert from Reece Cole’s corner as half-time approached.

As it stands, McCall’s Thistle revival is stalling and, if it stays as it is, the Glasgow side will remain at the foot of the Championship behind tonight’s visitors.

HALF-TIME St Mirren 0-1 Hibernian

Christian Doidge has gone from dunce to dangerman by ending a nine-game barren spell with four goals in three games.

The English striker’s deflected header is all that stands between the sides in a tight contest of few clear-cut chances.

By the way, replays show that Hibs didn’t have a goal disallowed earlier. Ryan Porteous’ header landed on the back of the net after going over the crossbar.

Even without that, Jack Ross’ side are 45 minutes away from a second win of his Hibs reign – and against his former club.

1968 Camaro with Pro Street Power and Pro Touring Driveability

When you build high-performance cars for a living, the majority of your time is focused on completing the projects for your customers. Many times, it’s rare to get enough free time on the clock to take on a build of your own. Peter Newell’s roots lie in hard-core Pro Street cars that can be driven … not just locally to your average cruise night, but cross-country where performance demands require them to be completely functional to endure a beating. As owner of Competition Specialties in Walpole, Massachusetts, he lives and breathes these cars as his personal church.

Starting back with his first build, an ’86 Trans Am was cut up to create a 6-71 blown small-block car running mile-wide rear rubber. The car set the local scene on fire since it was driven year round in New England … without a hood—even through snowstorms! Over 20 years ago it was a “Long Hauler” on the Hot Rod Power Tour.

This brings us to Project Leftover. As time went on, many people shrugged off Pro Street cars as a passing fancy, but dedicated builders of these cars kept them very much alive. Newell took on a derelict roller project in 2011 and deemed it Leftover. The concept was to take the shell to completion utilizing the many scraps in the shop for a new daily driver.

In its first iteration, the car was finished with a stroked small-block Chevy and coated in blue suede paint. As promised, it took a daily beating 12 months a year through all types of weather, enduring literally tens of thousands of miles. Wanting to inject more style, the car was torn down to create Leftover 2.0, bathed in blue candy gloss with a myriad of custom body modifications and an injection of carbon fiber. Again on the road and thousands of miles later the revisions continued to Leftover 3.0, adding a fresh twin-turbo mill to the equation to up the ante on the street.

In its latest form, conceived over the past 12 months, the car has evolved to an entirely new level. Raising the bar and incorporating a myriad of high-performance parts from many of our industry leaders, Peter has already laid down over 10,000 miles since the project update was completed. The base for any true Pro Street build relies on the ability to put the power to the street.

To start, DMC Racing in Halifax, Massachusetts, back-halfed the car, suspending a narrowed Dana 60 rear packed with 4.11 gears spinning 35-spline Strange Engineering axles with their adjustable four-link and Panhard bar and QA1 Quad Adjust remote reservoir coilover shocks. For excellent handling, a Fatman Fabrications front subframe incorporates their Sportalign IFS system with exclusive tuning capabilities. To set the stance even deeper, Peter channeled the subframe 1 inch into the body.

If you’re pushing big horsepower numbers you’d better be able to stop. A Wilwood Engineering dual master pushes juice through steel lines to a forged Superlite 6R big-brake package, 14-inch drilled and slotted rotors with six-piston calipers up front with Dynalite 12.88-inch drilled and slotted rotors and four-piston calipers out back. Connecting it to the street are custom 18-inch front and 20-inch rear Boze Vortex three-piece concave wheels wearing Hankooks up front and Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R radials out back.

When it came time to build a mill that could take an all-out beating and maintain dependability, Peter contacted C3 Automotive Machine in Foxboro, Massachusetts, to build the short-block. A Chevrolet Performance 350ci Bow Tie Sportsman block with four-bolt nodular mains was packed with a GM forged steel crank linked to H-beam rods capped with Ross Racing forged aluminum slugs getting a hefty bump from a Nelson Racing stick. Peter assembled the rest with ample power coming from Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads. An Edelbrock Victor Jr intake cradles a Quick Fuel Technology Q-Series 850-cfm Blow-Thru carb linked to twin Nelson Racing 61mm mirror-image turbos generating enough power to pin you to the back of the seat. The Vintage Air Front Runner drive system adds plenty of performance accented by custom inner fender panels and billet hood hinges from Eddie Motorsports and DMC Racing’s exclusive hideaway turbo plumbing. The goods move through a PerformaBuilt Level 3 Invincible 4L60E trans to a QA1 REV Series carbon-fiber driveshaft, making it easy to cruise comfortably at triple-digit speeds.

Study Leftover and you’ll see plenty of subtle changes. Peter turned up the heat starting with a custom-fabricated steel chin spoiler, welded and filled front fenders, and filled antenna mount as well as welded and smoothed driprails. He continued on with 2-inch dropped steel rocker panels with matching sections on the fender and quarter-panel bottoms, adding a custom relief to the quarter-panels ahead of the rear wheels and wrapped it up by pie-cutting the rear of the quarters to gracefully transition the panels into the roll pan and carbon-fiber diffuser.

Finally, the quarter seams were welded and smoothed with final accents including Eddie Motorsports RS grille, taillights, and door handles, as well as a carbon-fiber trunk lid by Anvil. He then set the gaps, made it razor sharp, and laid down a deep coating of House of Kolor Apple Red accented by custom stripes.

Inside, DMC Racing completed the tinwork along with the eight-point chromoly cage. The factory dash features a custom insert housing a Racepak IQ3 to monitor the vitals. A Billet Specialties wheel carves the course while shifts fly through a Lokar unit. Cool breezes are by Vintage Air.

All-new interior panels were designed and crafted at JK Automotive Designs and covered in a combination of black leather and suede by Cutting Edge Designs, both of Stoneham, Massachusetts. Cutting Edge then upholstered the Procar seats in black leather while also covering the dash in suede, accented by charcoal German square weave carpet. Clayton Machine Works door handles and window cranks add the final touch.

In its current form, the car is a fusion of Pro Street and Pro Touring to create a type of Pro Outlaw style where a wide-tire car can effectively throw down blistering performance and still handle well on the long haul. Currently, Leftover has logged over 50,000 miles in all types of weather conditions year-round, and shows no signs of slowing down! CHP

Bill Newell’s 1972 Chevy C20 longbed converted to 1969 C10 shortbed

There are no two ways about it; there’s a cultural divide a mile wide between people who love classic trucks that lay hard, and the people who don’t.

Bill Newell of Medford, Oregon, just happens to be one of those people who likes his classic trucks a little on the lowered side, and that’s where it all started for this 1972 Chevy C20.

By day Bill works for Crater Lake Ford in Medford as a suspension technician. The first time he spotted the 3/4-ton Chevy longbed it was in the dealership’s wholesale line ready for whatever ill fate awaited it. That meant it could have been on its way to the metal scrapper, or piled in a stack at a local wrecking yard and parted out.

Bill told us that ever since 1992 when he owned a 1970 Chevy C10 panel truck he loved that body style and looked into saving the 1972 from an unknown fate. After a line of persistent inquiry the Ford dealer sold the C20 to Bill for $500 and he didn’t waste any time getting the 58,000-original mile truck home. For eight days Bill drove the C20 as a stock truck, but on the ninth day he stripped the C20 longbed down to the bare frame and commenced to change it into a C10 shortbed.

When Bill was asked how long it took him to build the truck he said it was done in two stages. “The first stage was shortening the frame and fabricating the suspension, body-dropping the cab and bed, and then completing the engine and transmission swap.”

The front fenders, hood, cab, and bed were lifted off, and then Bill went to work shortening the heavier-duty 3/4-ton frame to match up with the shorter 114-inch wheelbase of a 1/2-ton shortbed. In front Bill made a deal with Lonnie Thompson of Carolina Kustoms in Portland, Oregon, to swap his Toyota Tacoma, plus an undisclosed amount of cash on top in trade for a Porterbuilt Dropmember.

Bill added KP Components narrowed tubular double A-arms and Classic Performance Products narrowed track spindles. This addition narrowed the track skinny enough to aid clearing larger-diameter 20-inch Coys-style C-33 wheels and 245/45-20 Toyo tires to tuck further up into the fenderwells.

In lieu of conventional coil springs, Slam Specialties SS7 airbags are in place at all four corners. Air ride management is handled via an AccuAir e-Level controller adjusting ride height from a slammed stance to driving height, and dual Air Zenith compressors to pump air supply to twin Air Zenith receivers (air tanks). Steering comes from a 1991 Ford Mustang rack-and-pinion.

There’s not a lot of work performed on Bill’s truck that he didn’t do by himself, or with the help of his wife, Michelle, Brian McCullough, or Daniel Hill. In past builds Bill did all of the suspension and mechanical work, but had never attempted the bodywork and paint. This time around things were different. After driving his shortened Fleetside for about a year in primer and original green color Bill tore into the bodywork and paint.

Every bit of grinding, pounding panels, and primering took place in Bill’s two-car garage, but McCullough offered the use of his new three-car garage for Bill to use as a paint booth. On went a slick coating of Pro Spray Kia Soul Green Tea Latte paint, and no one would have ever guessed this was Bill’s first time behind a spray gun. That says a lot about the ease of using Pro Spray paint.

Inside the cab Bill installed Vintage Air A/C and Dynamat on the floor and cab walls to keep the noise out and cold air inside. Bob Harm of Harm’s Upholstery laid black loop carpet and reupholstered a pair of 2003 Tahoe bucket seats with a 2003 Silverado center console in between.

There are a few things that Bill discovered about his truck that have proved to be an interesting study of human nature, and it’s that people love to argue his truck is a 1969 because that’s the year of its grille, and some say he ruined a perfectly good stock truck not knowing it was ready for the scrap heap when he saved it. But then on the bright side there are the more enlightened individuals who understand it’s Bill’s truck so he could do whatever he wanted with it.
