There are those that live their lives secure and anchoring their dialogue in those things about their life that stay the same. They tend to feel comfortable in settings that have lots of familiar markers. When they look around, the look for the familiar, the constants, and the way its always been. The other type of person is one that centers the order of their universe on things that are different. They are comfortable in dynamic settings with lots of new input. https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace daily 0.75 2020-11-01 https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/love-feast monthly 0.5 2020-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1604261595104-JGUO0MVEHEYVTCZW7V9I/Peace-Image.jpg Peace - Love Feast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1604261621172-AAB48OF96BQVMSEETC0C/Dinner-Plate.jpg Peace - Love Feast https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/153m325h60s6t8rab31qxsyk1p1k89 monthly 0.5 2020-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1601815976579-SG6PQ9YF26Q6YRX21J9F/Peace_1.jpg Peace https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/rivers-sounds-are-the-sounds-of-peace monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1598721535516-PIPH1U211TCRXK4S4Z6I/River.png Peace - Rivers Sounds are the sounds of Peace https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/music monthly 0.5 2020-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1596377698810-Y3RL705JQFZJ723TAZ1T/August_Peace_Image.jpg Peace - Music for Focus https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/july-peace-entry monthly 0.5 2020-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1596375945852-Z0B51WRG1Q8U8RYCC8WU/July_Peace_Image.jpg Peace - Messages from Others https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/knowing-who-you-are monthly 0.5 2020-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1594170464144-G526NCN7UTJDTMI4XDL6/Bird.png Peace - Knowing Who You Are https://www.authorvancearnett.com/peace/mindful-matters monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1588365845035-RD0I90FZ94374MITRPU7/SUnrise+over+North+Haven.jpg Peace - Mindful Matters https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place daily 0.75 2020-11-01 https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/fitting-in monthly 0.5 2020-11-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1604261382360-AWRBIBDBU5SDUL31XEEE/A+Flooded+Krog+Street+Tunnel.jpg Place - Fitting In A Flooded Krog Street Tunnel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1604261200470-3OZKVMWXE16W93UUV0QZ/Place-Imaging.jpg Place - Fitting In The Forest and the Urban Forest https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/chattanooga-tn monthly 0.5 2020-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1601815623279-09HA38BO1EZECPS9QCNC/Place_1.jpg Place - Chattanooga, TN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1601815664595-X3S9GY5K0TSZTKDT4YTT/Place_2.jpg Place - Chattanooga, TN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1601815696361-4OWAMC3KDSA9HRHW9JDP/Place_3.jpg Place - Chattanooga, TN https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/nova-scotia-from-yarmouth-to-halifax-to-digby monthly 0.5 2020-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1598721469628-5LUY5RB66VT8WGMZ94N7/Mural.png Place - Nova Scotia, From Yarmouth to Halifax to Digby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1598721404776-VNAWDPLYU54GZRSZIVQX/Nova_Scotia.png Place - Nova Scotia, From Yarmouth to Halifax to Digby. https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/beaufort-sc monthly 0.5 2020-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1596377831197-11OCGCHOL042HSCF06HM/August_Place_Image.jpg Place - Beaufort SC -Inspiration for Creative Thoughts https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/july-place-journal monthly 0.5 2020-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1596376428824-VS05BP4B3DKZP4KOC0FL/July_Place_Image.jpg Place - Memories of Monhegan https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/living-on-water monthly 0.5 2020-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1594170189920-Y30NFLF34FIQJEPBHX9E/City-of-Tampa.png Place - Living on Water https://www.authorvancearnett.com/place/ybor-a-place-of-the-heart monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1588365193161-OAYDSEX3V2DD25BWNGFZ/IMG_1282.jpg Place - Ybor, A Place of the Heart https://www.authorvancearnett.com/about-author-vance-arnett daily 0.75 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/1588182785643-ZBNMS404I4AJR21K0988/About-Vance.jpg About - About the Author Vance Arnett I have been writing most of my adult life for other people and purposes other than entertainment or enlightenment. Now I no longer work for other people, I get to write for me and for you. As an applied social anthropologist that worked most of my career in the justice system, I've worked closely with law enforcement, prosecutors, defense counsel, judges, corrections and most importantly the unsung heroes, victims and survivors. In addition to writing, the outdoors is my passion. I'm a fly angler, outdoor photographer and roamer which is odd because I live in the urban core of Tampa, Florida in what is known as the Channel District. In all aspects of my life I develop story. https://www.authorvancearnett.com/home daily 1.0 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/9fb1410f-f61c-47f9-bad1-9e84c7f7cfaf/Traffick_Deadlock_Front_Cover_2025.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/514ac925-a80c-4494-bbfb-0f18545aa237/Tampa_Traffick_Front_Cover_2025.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/a6b2bbb4-a511-48bb-8109-888e7012ce43/Rooster-Faded-Rose_Front_Cover_2025.png Home https://www.authorvancearnett.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-10-18 https://www.authorvancearnett.com/the-rooster-and-the-faded-rose daily 0.75 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/15a9f5f8-3ef7-46fb-8e69-3a9ca67cf699/Rooster-Faded-Rose_Cover_2025.png The Rooster and the Faded Rose - The Rooster and the Faded Rose The Smithson Evermore Group is called into action once again. One of their friends has been kidnapped along with a well-known immigration policy advisor. At the same time, they are stretched thin along the border with Canada helping the authorities try to stem the flow of human trafficking that has blossomed since the crackdown on the border with Mexico. Among those women is a young Chinese girl who thought she was destined to work in an office and improve her English. In reality she had been sold as a bride to a wealthy businessman. Somehow all these cases collide as the federal authorities from three countries work to recover those taken. It's a wild ride across thousands of miles. https://www.authorvancearnett.com/tampa-traffick daily 0.75 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9f2a30caac9352ca967ad2/5e45b807-f331-4c30-aaeb-c519229c64c2/Tampa_Traffick_Cover_2025.png Tampa Traffick - Tampa Traffick A Smithson Evermore Novel about Human Trafficking Everyday people go missing. Some just disappear. Many are taken and enslaved. The Smithson Evermore Group was created to assist law enforcement recover the survivors of this worst of crimes. They are well funded, scientific, and well respected to the point that they are known to International Traffickers. Maybe too well known. Follow the story as a young woman goes missing of a trout stream in New York and ends up in the tunnels of Ybor City in Tampa along with a second victim taken to just pay a debt.

It happens right in front of us. But three courageous trafficked women leave a note along I-20 in Georgia that gives a new high tech high powered multi-agency Task Force the break it needs to bring the International Nightshade Trafficking Group down. FBI Agent Phelps Wheeler, and Marshal Luke Ludlow are joined by old and new Smithson Evermore Team members to follow the lead provided by the women, rescue them, and continue the investigation until the cartel is toppled and all are brought to justice. It's a fast paced ride from the upstate of South Carolina to the low country and all points in between.
