Arthurian, Merlin, Avalon

Description

Chaos ensues as Rome abandons Britain, leaving native Britons alone to defend their shores from the growing Saxon invasion. Set in 5th Century Britain, this retelling of the traditional legends of Merlin, King Arthur, and Avalon, blends a mixture of historical fact with Arthurian fantasy.

Refreshingly innovative, the tale spans the mysterious birth of Merlin, climaxing with the conception of Arthur, the legendary future king of Britain. A young Merlin advises three High Kings: to fight through the bedlam, fight for the right to rule, fight to save the future treasure of Britain!

Interlacing love, revenge, mystery and murder, with a dash of humor, this coming of age adventure is a guide through the shrouded tales that embrace the…Sons of Avalon.

High School, Basketball, Thriller

Description

Advantage Disadvantage is a nail-biting, behind-the-scenes pass into the world of high school sports and the people who make and break it. Set in Chicago, its innately urban backdrop is full of distinctly Windy City landmarks. This is the perfect read for sports fans that love an insider’s view…an insightful and deliciously-sinful plot full of twists and turns. You’ll find the perfect blend of bravery, betrayal and who-done-it adventure in this vividly penned thriller.
A neighborhood bookie peddles athletes to college coaches and develops a sport betting operation centered on high school games. He recruits an accomplice to execute his last bet, one that could set them up financially for life but is fraught with danger. The Chicago Police investigate the greedy gamblers who might try to manipulate a high school basketball playoff game. A chance meeting between the father of a mediocre student-athlete and the bookie puts in motion a sequence of events transforming the player into a Division 1 prospect using unorthodox basketball training methods. Corrupt adults, who selfishly engage in risky and exploitive behaviors, surround the athlete: gangland profiteers, win-at-all-cost coaches, greedy street agents, shoe company representatives, college recruiters, disloyal lovers, and others. Advantage Disadvantage examines the motivations that drive the surrounding adults to corruption, betrayal, and greed.

Description

In a humorous, futuristic “take” on the Greek legend of Persephone’s abduction by the dark god of the Underworld, a god-Emperor from another galaxy visits Earth to abduct the mate of his dreams.

Checkmate
The truth could wait. She had given him an idea…

Sex was a serious matter, a grim pleasure, or so he’d always thought. It had never been an occasion for laughter or irreverent conversation—until Djinni accused him of fishy mating habits, and since then he hadn’t taken sex seriously at all.
Lovemaking had never been such fun. Much as he’d longed for her to know and accept the truth about him, he didn’t want this blissful intimacy to end.
The truth could wait. She had given him an idea. A very wicked idea. A perfect excuse for the remaining rut-raged days and nights of debauchery and deception to come.
“I want to do it all,” he breathed. “I want to make love to you according to the ways of every sexually reproducing species in all the Communicating Worlds. Every one. From frogs to Great Djinn. After that, we’ll work up to thrusting Tantric sex.”
“Oh, Stars,” she gasped.
“And I take that as informed consent.”

Description

Knight’s Fork is a futuristic romance which combines a traditional quest story (loosely based on the Greek hero Perseus) with a romance around the issue of genetics and the royal need to breed.

A Princess from a “superior” race was married to an alien Prince as living proof of a political alliance. At the time of the marriage/peace treaty no one thought that the Prince would become King of his people, and that an heir would be necessary. After many fruitless years, the Queen (as she now is) realizes that her only hope of keeping the peace is to find a sperm donor from her own race who has the same eye color as her alien mate’s, whom she can trust, and who is not too closely related to her.

When he says “No!” the stakes are too high for her to give up.

Poetry, Contemporary Poetry, Literature

Description

Each of David Moolten’s poems creates a finely observed human story, a story told with deep empathy and compassion, and often with a palpable sense of gratitude. Whether he writes of his Jewish grandfather’s response to Wagner’s music, or “The Girl Without Hands,” or a Native American activist who “drank herself out / of a smashed marriage,” Moolten transforms our world by evoking theirs. He approaches human suffering and injustice with steadiness and tenderness, a clinical eye and a passionate heart. I came away from reading Primitive Mood with the feeling expressed at the end of the poem “Klezmer”: “Even now I’m greedy to hear more.”

—Jack Coulehan, MD, author of Medicine Stone

The poems on the page are powerful and substantial, extremely elegant in appearance. The poet’s view is exact, casting hope on so much immediate darkness of the world. Again, the poet is a capable one, luring the reader in with a revelry of lush detail and memorable images. There is a strong preoccupation here on behalf of the damaged, the displaced, the hurt . . . and it works on the reader’s psyche, rendering many of these poems quite memorable. Hauntingly beautiful, this collection is just the right potent mixture of reality and modern-day fable. I am thrilled that such poetry exists and it is being written by such capable hands.

—Virgil Suárez, 2009 T. S. Eliot Prize Judge

Taking the dark landscape of our human history as background, David Moolten, in his powerful and finely wrought collection, explores the primitive urges that set us against each other, and the cultural heritage—fairy tales, oral histories, legends, narratives—that seems a testament to the cruelties we are capable of. If our “primitive mood” in life is grief, it comes from our all too ruthless acquaintance with wreckage and violence, sometimes through large apocalypses, other times through personal devastations. And any salvation for us lies in our notions of tolerance and restraint, and perhaps in our abiding belief in an indefinable spirit that “bears us / Up and onwards in spite of ourselves.” These are unflinching, brooding poems of great scope and understanding.

—Gregory Djanikian, author of So I Will Till the Ground

My name’s Alex Cheradon. I’m a private investigator. That means I investigate…private…stuff.

I do NOT slay vampires, battle demons, fight zombies or vanquish evil spirits. In fact, you know what? Let’s just strike a line through the whole supernatural genre and call it a big no-no for me, okay?

Steven Raines (you know, the man who made billions making an operating system that out-Microsoft-ed Microsoft?) hired me to look for his missing daughter. Although, he’s pretty sure she’s dead. But, hey, guy’s offering me a million dollar payday, so I’m not going to argue.

I’m also going to ignore the thing about her being a Satanist, the dead bodies that are piling up around me, and vampires that I find myself in the middle of. And that big thing named Pookie, I’m going to ignore that, too.

Yep. I’m just going to ignore it all. For one million dollars I can totally do that.

Now all I have to do is stay alive long enough to spend the money.

Description

Brett R.Williams, “Mr. Marriage” is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and the author of You Can Be Right Or You Can Be Married. Brett believes there is only one fight, one conflict, one issue, which couples get locked into: who’s right and who’s wrong. When you analyze any disagreement, what you find is that the topic is always the same. The variables that get a couple going are endless, from not picking up his/her socks to the frequency of sex. However, as the disagreement progresses, the topic invariably shifts to who is the good guy and/or who is the bad guy. What is interesting about these “Right Fights” is that they are not about needing to be right, but come from the feeling of being wronged, hurt, or unloved. Couples want to right the wrong they feel, and then get mired in their battles over blame. The solution is to address the feeling of being hurt or unloved, by connecting as a couple. Our wounds cause us to withdraw, and that is why communication fails. By remaining close, two people are able to discuss their differences, express their pain, and feel more intimate afterw0rds.

shockwave, earthquake, bombs

Description

He had just begun to walk away from the area of the crash when the earthquake that rocked that region that night began to rumble through the ground. By the light of the quarter moon he watched in shocked awe as the surface of the earth undulated and rippled like the surface of the sea. He saw trees crashing to the ground not far from him and twice he was thrown to the ground himself.

When the earth stopped shaking, Tim got back on his feet and stared about him at the damage. Like many soldiers who trained extensively for night operations Tim had superb night vision. As he stood surveying the carnage wrought by the earthquake he wished for the first time in his life that he didn’t have such excellent night vision.

Having grown up in the Tennessee Valley, Tim was accustomed to surveying storm damage from the many violent thunderstorms and tornadoes that plague that region of the United States. But the damage he surveyed that night dwarfed everything in his experience. Shaking his head in awe he began the task of walking to the nearest city where he would hopefully find food, water, and transportation.

As he walked he was expecting the bombs to fall at any minute. In fact he wasn’t sure that it hadn’t been a bomb that had caused the earth to shake so violently during the earthquake. However he didn’t much believe that it had been a bomb for two reasons. There had been no flash of light in the night sky and there had been no shockwave. He felt reasonably sure that if he could feel the shockwave through the earth he would have experienced the atmospheric shockwave as well. “Unless the bombs detonated below the surface,” he told himself.

Walking all night long he never saw a soul. Dawn found him on the outskirts of a small community which had been evacuated due to some of the natural disasters that had occurred two weeks prior to his arrival. He acquired some food and water there. More importantly he acquired a motorcycle. He also found another few boxes of nine millimeter ammunition which he gratefully added to his meager supply.

The people of the small farm community of Arley Tennessee are attacked by a well organized group of Marauders who plan to return in a few days and annihilate the men and take the women captive as sex slaves. But the sophisticated radio equipment aboard the Peacekeeper intercepts a message detailing the plot. The men and women of the newly christened Peacekeeper face their first real test.

A routine call causes a six man team to be dispatched to deal with a rogue bully who is tormenting the residents of Jewel Mississippi. But when the team arrives they find no ordinary bully. As a sniper picks off their members one by one, in desperation an emergency call is made to the Peacekeeper base. Pete Damroyal learns that an old nemesis is killing the Peacekeeper team.

In the aftermath of the devastation of the United States rumors abound. One rumor is enough to cause the Peacekeepers to journey to Jonesboro Louisiana. Something is killing the people of that community. Some of the locals want to help unravel the mystery deaths, however they are hindered by some of their fellow townsmen. The hostile townsmen want to keep a town secret from being revealed. Can the Peacekeepers unravel the mystery before another person succumbs to the fangs and claws of the mystery killer?

A thousand outlaw bikers are headed for the small town of Alamo Tennessee. They are bent on taking hostages to use as human shields as they push through Peacekeeper territory on their journey south. Can the Peacekeepers prevent the mass abduction of city residents or will history repeat itself? Will Alamo spell disaster for the Peacekeepers?

balance, change, enlightenment, happiness

Description

There is a place of balance, a place of peace and happiness in all things. ~The Middle Theory In The Middle Theory, an inspired book refined during nine eventful years, Deshon Fox reveals a powerful new philosophy based on the simple, but profound idea that balance is the guiding principle of all that supports life and progress. This philosophy, as rational as it is spiritual, affirms our common spiritual heritage, maps a straight path to enlightenment, and outlines practical approaches for fostering stable, meaningful relationships. Fox’s lucid writing, his penetrating insights into the nature of balance as a corrective agent in our lives, is both timely and inspiring. Optimistically, he asserts that we can transform ourselves and our world through mindfulness, prayer, and adherence to universal spiritual principles.

Description

Perhaps if Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny village tucked in the Alpujarra mountains would really be like, they might have hesitated…

They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they will become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they will be befriended by an 85 year old spliff-smoking sex-kitten or rescued by a mule.

Life is never dull as they embark on their Five Year Plan.

At the end of five years they must decide. Will they stay or return to the relative sanity of England?

Vicky and Joe’s story is packed with irreverent humour, animals, eccentric characters and sunshine.

A truly hilarious page-turner.

But then something happened in the mix of the moment, in the mix of the alcohol. It wasn’t planned, but somehow our kissing experiment turned into something else. Things went further . . . and once they had, once I returned to earth from the euphoria . . . I wrestled with my feelings at that frank realization, questioning whether our said objective was entirely true.
When fourteen-year old Krista McKinley transfers from Catholic school in Ohio to California’s public Crestmount High, she discovers she has a lot to learn. Luckily, she is befriended by Carrie and Brandon and things start to look up. But when a simple dare tests Krista’s values, it sends her entire world spiraling into a confusing series of events that leaves her questioning her identity as well as the people around her.

AA Not the Only Way fills an important niche in the recovery literature. It offers a compact but wide-ranging guide to addiction support and treatment options. The author’s recovery story will also be a inspiration to those who find themselves battling a one-size-fits-all system that is supposed to be helping them.”
Tom Horvath Ph.Dl, ABPP
President, Practical Recovery Services
“Melanie Solomon has distilled much information about the limitations of 12-step programs-limitations of which she has personal experience. Her response is to array the reason and resources other people might seek to supplement or substitute for AA and its ilk. Her contribution to the field is heartfelt and invaluable, and will help many others.”
Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D.

“The American Council on Alcoholism is pleased to highly recommend ‘AA Not the Only Way’ as an important resource for individuals exploring all treatment options.

Description

It’s been coming at us for 13.7 billion years.
In the beginning, it made everything possible.
In the end, it promises to do the same.

Something extraordinary is happening yet everything looks the same. Something fundamental is changing with the universe. On April 1, 2011, the world notices but doesn’t understand. Ex-professor Hamilton Ray discovers a wild, unfinished theory about a cosmic Probability Wave in lost notebooks. He studies in secret for fear of ridicule but abandons his research until the theory mysteriously resurfaces 20 years later on a website for the bizarre. Experts universally ridicule the theory, but Hamilton is driven to finish it. As the world rushes to all possible explanations for the periodic strange days impacting Earth, synchronicities place him under federal house arrest at Caltech where he backs into an already crowded spotlight. The implications, if true, are astounding. The peculiar PW2 theory might prove that consciousness is paired with probability the same way matter is with energy, and space with time. Our very humanity is the experiment. Hang on for the wild ride as the world “P-Pivots” towards a resolution of unimagined potential.

December 21, 2012 – 11:11 UTC.
The Mayan Calendar ends.
Something extraordinary begins.
The End of the Beginning.

A whole universe of promise,
but nowhere to hide from ourselves.

Description

“The Guys Who Spied for China” is a roman a clef, exposing Chinese Espionage Networks during the eighties and nineties.

It is the quirky story of how two disparate men uncovered an elaborate spy operation that had functioned on American soil for nearly four decades. Through fate and serendipity, Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, meets Johnny G Man, a vaunted scientist and the ultimate Cold Warrior.

What they helped unmask was a network of home grown spies in California and throughout the United States. As a result, newspapers ran relentless headlines depicting Chinese Espionage practices in the United States. The year 1985 was pronounced by the news media as “The Year of the Spy.”

“This is a new twist on the spy drama. While providing details of events that were often swept under the rug, this very personal and often darkly humorous tale captures what it feels like to be suddenly thrust into the shadowy world of espionage. You get to feel what it’s like to be there.

The Guys Who Spied for China is set largely in California, in the Santa Monica Mountain Range, just above Beverly Hills.

What’s remarkable is that most of this story is true.

Description

The headline in the small town newspaper read Young Woman Missing, Presumed Dead or Worse.

Leigh Lawson returned to Nags Head, North Carolina after four years with a huge shock. That big and bold headline was about her! Everyone thought she was dead!

The truth was that she was doing well. While gone, she had gotten clean from drugs and worked hard to get her bachelor’s degree in engineering. With her life back on track, she returns home in hope that she will receive a warm welcome. Instead, she gets the townsfolks’ disdain.

Everyone hates her, everyone except Jason Altarez, an ambitious and resilient reporter with his sights locked on Leigh. He chases her with oozing charm and romance, but does he really want her or is he after his next story?

Leigh’s life soon spirals out of control when the police recruit her for an undercover assignment. They want her to go back to the life of her troubled teenage years, back into the drugs, and help them to bring the local drug supplier to conviction. It may be Leigh’s only chance to redeem herself with her family and friends. If she can complete this one assignment, the town will forgive her. The only problem is that she needs to figure out how to stay alive in the process…

Jason is her continuous partner through it all, proving his dedication to her as he struggles to keep her safe. Leigh wants to believe he is a man of his word. She wants to believe that her heart isn’t completely foolish for falling for him, especially when she discovers evidence that Jason may be working for the very drug dealer that Leigh is trying to have arrested. Will he betray her in the end or will he demonstrate the most romantic notion of all – that love at first sight truly exists?

He wants her reputation, too. His first mission is to sabotage Krytonix.

William Pierce worked undercover for the FBI for five years to bring down a ruthless mobster that he ultimately is forced to kill. Two months passes by since that assignment. Still, William saw things he couldn’t talk about. He did things he couldn’t talk about. He believes his soul is damned. Returning to “normal” everyday life isn’t an option.

Description

If you flee when you should’ve taken a stand, it could come back to terrorize you. That’s never been truer than in False Refuge:

Army reservist Alex Swenson goes AWOL in 2004 to avoid Iraq duty. He’s fled to the Big Island of Hawaii, where he finds himself attracted to cute and wily Kanani, a crime-world survivor searching for a better life. Yet Alex’s old army buddy, Jerry, is hot on Alex’s trail.

A secretive island haven, Krieger Estates, was supposed to grant Alex a new life and identity, but soon Alex finds that the estates’ amoral founders thrive on absolute power, lockstep obedience, and unjust violence. Fleeing’s no option this time. Alex refuses to play along and it brings his new overseers’ full wrath. To save Alex, Kanani and Jerry join forces with a hard-nosed plan, yet it’s Alex who’ll find a way free without relying on Kanani’s doomed schemes, or Jerry’s tragic sense of loyalty, or any savage methods. Alex will do it his way to the bitter end.

Description

You must disclaim yourself from reason and whatever complacency you’ve retained in order to abscond the world for Edwards’ dominion of imprudent divulgence. A bizarre tale of a troubled childhood and the gamut of sexual disappointment. With a sour mixture of erotica and his own brand of grotesque humor, Edwards opens questions about the consensus of our thoughts on sex and relationships and follows through with a perverse finger pointed right back at you, forcing you to reminisce and re-examine your understanding of the opposite sex. The nameless protagonist will at once endear himself to you and piss you off as he explains how he carries forward the spoils of his tribulations in a succession of outrageous relationships…. and then pleads with you to extrapolate knowledge from your own.

Freemasonry, Time Travel, Voodoo, Conspiracy

Description

New Orleans, June 1997. The city’s dying of heat and dying on its feet as the port business shrinks and the powers that be carve up a vanishing pie. Steve Gorman, an executive for the APEX courier corporation, sees his colleague Andrew Sinclair disappear, carrying a high-value package containing a stone with miraculous powers…

Steve gets the blame, quits APEX and loses his place on the city’s Trade Council. Suddenly he’s a “non-person”, but with the aid of glamorous Creole journalist Monique Chauvin and fey historian Louis Duplantier, he unearths an astonishing conspiracy involving time travel, the Templars, Freemasonry and Voodoo. If this “Brotherhood” can forecast events like Hurricane Katrina, millions of dollars could be saved-for the elect few, of course.

C Q Scafidi’s murder story is in fact a stunning exposé of globalism, greed and ritualized gangsterism. His background in journalism and business at the World Trade Center give him a unique insight into the workings of mankind… and how human nature can be corrupted overnight by the allure of power. Read Time Couriers and you’ll see world events in an entirely different light.

Jenna’s aunt, Vanessa, a music agent, has just signed Aidan Price, a gifted and promising new performer who bears a striking resemblance to a young Johnny Depp. Aidan has come to Hollywood to compete on American Star, a very popular televised singing competition. Vanessa arranges for Jenna to meet Aidan at lunch, and their connection is instantaneous and electric.
From there they begin a sizzling courtship that leads them on a whirlwind journey through the demanding music business and media scrutiny that accompanies Aidan’s newfound fame. Despite all the intrusions which result inevitably from success in the entertainment world, Aidan and Jenna create a passionate and loving life together?a life, though, that is soon to become much more complicated than the “easy” life we so often assume comes with fame and fortune. As they are forced to deal with the pressures of international fame, a devastating illness, and an unspeakable traumatic event, Aidan and Jenna?s relationship and commitment to each other are tested in many unpredictable ways as they attempt to prevail over the seemingly insurmountable challenges that come with their own personal and intimate experience of stardom.

Description

The sequel to Along Came a Demon.

My name is Tiff Banks and I talk to the ghosts of the violently slain. I’ve learned to live with that; in fact I’ve made a career out of it. My partner Royal Mortensen and I opened our own investigation agency, and I thought we made a good team. I felt secure in our personal relationship too, until our new clients turned up. Why did Royal take them on without consulting me, and why are they withholding information which could help solve their case? I don’t think they’re human, and Royal knows exactly what they are, but refuses to tell me. I think there’s a lot Royal isn’t telling me.

I discovered that while I looked into the disappearance of Gia Sabato’s lover, Royal investigated something far more sinister. Are the two cases connected? Does an authentic nineteenth-century journal have anything to do with either?

Lives are at risk, and so is my relationship with the one man I’ve come to trust. So I’ll do what I do best: pound the pavement and talk to dead people. The dead are always watching, they can do nothing else. They whisper to me.

Description

How do you teach young children about the value of patience and the loving omniscience of their Creator? Introduce them to The Little Pot, a wise and winsome tale. Soon after a potter lovingly forms a new pot and declares that he has important plans for his creation, the little pot begins to wonder what its purpose will be. Will it be used to hold important documents? Great riches? Beautiful flowers? As various expectations prove wrong, the little pot is cautioned to wait and see. Gradually, Little Pot comes to realize that its creator knows best and has the most wonderful of all uses planned for it. Young readers will realize that the same is true for them: that, like the little pot, they were designed to be vessels that bear fruit. Anyone who has ever had trouble seeing God working in his or her life will realize that, while His work may not always be evident, it is always there. The author’s warm illustrations beautifully enhance this charming allegory about patience and fulfillment. A valuable teaching tool for parents and educators, The Little Pot is a simple yet profound story about inevitable reversals. Its timeless message will be enjoyed by many generations to come.

Kitagawa Utamaro was the leading light of the popular Ukiyo-e school of woodblock print designers during its golden age, famous throughout Japan within his own lifetime, an immeasurable influence upon nineteenth century French artists, such as Vincent Van Gogh, Édouard Manet and Claude Monet, and is a continuing source of inspiration and admiration throughout the world today for his portraits of sumptuously garbed courtesans and sensitively drawn depictions of everyday life in eighteenth century Edo.

Description

Gunter O. Swoboda’s Mountains Of The Sea is a watershed voyage of epic proportions that takes you through the volatile moods
of an historic Hawaiian ocean culture.

Walter Beaumont comes face to face with political intrigue, war, and the most enigmatic experience for an English aristocrat—that of riding the giant swells of Hawai’i.

“Rarely does a historical novel capture the vernacular, imagery and excitement of an entire era like Gunter Swoboda’s Mountains Of The Sea. As a surfer, historian and working professional, Gunter has successfully synthesized his career, his chosen sport and his passion for adventure and writing into an engaging story of murder, intrigue, high-seas adventure, friendship and, ultimately, love. From its opening pages, Mountains Of The Sea ably transports the reader from the lofty realms of European aristocrats into the colorful, exotic and sometimes dangerous life of an intrepid foreigner in the Pacific Islands at the point of pre-colonial European contact. This is a novel that reads as both entertaining and educational. Extraordinary and masterful writing from a potent new voice in modern literature.”—Tom Kamaki Linker, B.ED., M.A

Skookum Man is a romantic narrative set during fur trapping days. Jane, who is sometimes called ‘Matooski’ and her accidental boyfriend have a meetup in the rainforest. Jane knows how to take care of herself in the wilderness as she grew up as a free range child, raised by her Indian gradnfather. She is expert in Latin, botany, and elocution and pilots her own personal watercraft.
Robert is a recently arrived officer at a fictional fort by the Columbia River, a remote station with several peculiar luxuries by very few romantic options – especially for a man accustomed to being a slick player of sophisticated women of London. He is honored as ’skookum’ by the local friendly Indian clan even though he demonstrates again and again that he has no wilderness skill sets.
A Skookum reviewer comments that the story introduces “men and women from divergent worlds who meet in an Arden-lie forest. In those strange woods the reader is introducted to wood-wise ingenues, confused men, matronly women, clever animals, and assorted asses and fools. The introductions are lovingly conducted by a benign narrative presence….. This is a fairy tale with a modern edge..

Bulimia, memoir, coming of age

Description

The Skinny begins with a small girl in a small town, but journeys far and wide as its central character (“Rowena Gay Wine,” say Ms. Joan, “is a brave young woman who learns from an early age how to alchemize danger and difficulty into opportunity, love, revolution, and apple pie.”) explores life, sex, love, business and politics with her razor sharp senses, endless curiosity, penetrating intuition, and biting wit.

The story tumbles headlong through one adventure after another until Rowena finds a moment of contemplation in a hospital room, where a kindly stranger (an angel?) encourages her to start spilling her guts instead of the contents of her stomach.

Never to be forgotten, Rowena’s magically moving story runs the gamut of human experience, from terror to tickling, from deep love to shallow sex, from “baby whispering” to an angelic intervention in an airplane disaster, and so much that’s in between, including – yes, that’s right -even a car chase! Rowena’s bulimia is primary to her, but not central to the story.

As a novel, The Skinny is a flat out great read. But many will want to think of it as a “bulimia book,” in which role it’s an accessible object lesson to every woman who has ever contemplated or practiced intentional purging. Although it never gets in the way of the story, the message is plain: bulimia is not just a health problem; it creates shackles of slavery every bit as powerful as any addiction out there.

“Actually,” says the author, “this novel is about making choices, and about the pain and pleasure we obtain from our choices.”

Description

Based on a true story, The Cure begins when Dr. Bernard Clouseau is about to receive Canada’s highest award for developing a surgical cure for breast cancer after years of research. The results are being published in the New England Journal of Medicine. After accepting the award, he is found brutally murdered. The next day, staffers discover the records containing the key to his work are missing. What they don’t know is that the notes for a secret, drug-based study that resulted in total remission have also disappeared.
Carol Anderson, former clinical trial examiner for the National Cancer Institute, is asked to suspend her work to developing community-based breast cancer programs to find his notes and determine their validity. She reluctantly teams up with Office of Research Integrity investigator Dr. Thomas Christian, her former medical school lover who has become a thorn in her side. Their challenge escalates when the editor of the Journal retracts his endorsement of Dr. Clouseau’s trial, rendering his life’s work worthless.
Together, they track down key members of Dr. Clouseau’s team across North America, not aware that they are being tracked by mercenaries in the employ of a powerful pharmaceutical company that learned of the second study. One by one, the people they meet are killed in a series of accidents. When Carol and Thomas discover Dr. Clouseau’s secret, their pursuers close in to eliminate them.
The Cure exposes the dark side of breast cancer research and the corporations that profit from a continuing stream of new drugs. While they race toward the secret, they discover there is more going on behind the “Quest for a Cure” campaigns than they could ever imagine, while struggling to stay one step ahead of the killers who will stop at nothing to keep the formula from the public.

Description

Pimping Wall Street is the first book on trading psychology written for the average 20-30 something year old “player” who aspire to learn about and trade the financial markets successfully. This book doesn’t waste time with conjecture and conventional wisdom, but rather offers a raw and provocative, but clear and concise look at what it takes to become a top-notch trader based real world experiences of actual financial trading.

Furthermore, while there are many books on trading psychology that often use case study models and anecdotes that are often out of context and therefore have no optimum use in application, Pimping Wall Street meet these men where they are already at (relating with and dating women) and allow them to use their own experience in life (with women) to organically integrate the principles necessary to trade successfully. The result is the creation of a cohesive mindset that will position the budding trader to:

• Understand how the “Wall Street Game” works
• Understand one’s posture in the financial markets
• Cultivate a superior trading “inner game”
From this vantage point, an aspiring trader has a better chance of generating realistic trading ideas that can be converted into a realistic and winning trading plan.

Description

Hope God knows I didn’t set out to be a liar. The first lie, the one Daddy knows about, was simple. It happened the day we moved from Minden to Pearl, Louisiana, when our landlady, Miss Clark, asked if it would just be Daddy and me living in her rent house. Before Daddy could take a breath, I answered yes, but Mama would be home soon. I then explained how Mama was taking care of her sick aunt, my Great-Aunt Margaret, out west. Daddy looked at me with his mouth open, but didn’t say anything. That was the day I became a liar.

And so begins A Truth Worth Tellin’, a novel filled with Southern charm, porch swings, sweet tea, and a family’s struggle with schizophrenia. In it, new author Toni Teepell shares a poignant tale about truth and the best sort of love that is unconditional and understood.

Can help to preserve— and that’s what we’ll do.

And know them as friends and not as a stranger.

When a beloved local artist, known for her efforts to aid Hispanic immigrants is brutally murdered, Lila Morrison, newspaper reporter turned suburban housewife, finds her world turned upside down. After all, this is Scottsdale, Arizona-a desert oasis where tourists come to lie by the pool and soak up the sun. It’s not the type of place you’d expect to find murder.

Sins of the Border is a fast-paced read that takes its audience through the social echelons of Scottsdale, to the fringes of a vigilante border group. Lila goes head-to-head with the hunky but hard-headed Detective Garcia, who is none too happy with her snooping. She pushes ahead using her savvy investigative skills, along with advice from her three feisty girlfriends over flavored martinis, to follow the bloody murder tail.

Galen Morris is running for his life. He does not know his pursuer, or the nature of the thing that follows him relentlessly.
Before he can stop running, he has to understand his pursuer. In order to understand it he has to face it, but only in fleeting moments before he must run again. In his struggle to survive, he knows only one thing for sure – he must run, or die. The answers he desperately needs to survive will be found in a 200-year-old legend about a slave, also running for his life, who seeks justice for the murder of his wife. This justice will not come from a court of law to which slaves had no access, but from something very different indeed.
In a seemingly hopeless struggle to understand and overcome his pursuer, Galen embarks on a cross-country chase in search of help. What he finds are death, lies, and the love of his life.
Dark Justice tells two separate but related tales that come together in an exciting climax where justice is finally served – in a very dark and unusual way.

literary fiction, political fiction, satire

Description

Shaken Allegiances spans 48 hours in a world askew-almost absurd-just after a devastating earthquake has struck and isolated Montréal Island in the dead of an icy winter, one week before a referendum on Québec’s secession from Canada. No power, no communications, no access, and -40°F, but no heroes to the rescue; no Schwarzenegger, no Stallone, no Charlton Heston. Provincial and federal politicians are busy waging an ideological war, while coordination of emergency response is in the hands of a lunatic; a structural engineer and a disc jockey form an odd couple in their pursuit of fame, while the frustrated media seek ways of leapfrogging the collapsed bridges to undertake some disaster tourism of their own. Their fortuitous encounters, and problems with quirky opportunists, converge to help make things worse. Kafka would feel at home.

Shaken Allegiances jolts with a disturbing and witty projection of today’s unbridled narcissistic society, a disaster in full bloom that has sprung from the seeds of individualism planted in the 1980s. Its colorful characters, quixotic, ambitious, rapacious, self-righteous, naïve, conceited, moronic, lost, or otherwise flawed, provide a fresh, entertaining and cynical view of the inescapable human folly.

Michel Bruneau’s blend of deadpan humor and keen eye for the nonsensical side of human nature underlie his original perspective on contemporary existence. His previous book of fiction, “Inhumanité – Onze nouvelles qui insultent l’intelligence” (in French) has received excellent reviews, particularly from Radio Canada. In the technical realm, he has been an earthquake engineer for over 20 years, doing his share to reduce the risks of infrastructure collapse. As a professor and researcher, he has extensively published and has received many awards for his work. Born in Québec City, expatriated by the demands of work, he lives in Buffalo, enjoying its comparatively balmy winters.

Description

The Sorcerer’s Key is Clayton Bye’s first installment in the fantasy series FROM EARTH TO EDEN.

Morgan Heist, a dark sorcerer from the original Garden of Eden, has opened a door to Earth. He doesn’t care about the repercussions. The time has come to risk everything for The Sorcerer’s Key, a talisman with the power he needs to conquer both worlds.

Even though he has been forced to spend most of his life in hiding, no one could have predicted Jack Lightfoot’s reaction to Heist’s arrival on Earth. He decides to intervene in the twenty year fight between his father and the evil mage, drawing upon raw talent and the unbending courage of youth.

What results is a voyage of self-discovery that uncovers a secret originating with Adam and Eve, one that jeopardizes everything Jack holds dear, including the future of both Earth and Eden.

Jack Lightfoot is a complicated protagonist who is destined to face down one of literature’s most unexpected of villains. And, with a unique look at the mythology and ideology of our culture, Clayton Bye’s FROM EARTH TO EDEN creates an engaging, fantastical set of worlds which will capture readers on page one.

Description

The True Nanny Diaries, a novel which explores the paradox of being both the indispensable “help” and marginalized “illegal-immigrant,” revolves around Valdi West, who emigrated from the Caribbean to study at Columbia University.

By a quirk of fate Valdi ends up on the playgrounds of New York City babysitting to survive. Twenty years later, she can barely face her derailed dreams. Instead, she focuses her razor sharp intuition and cutting wit on her babysitting clique: Senior citizen Madam Lucian, who is supplementing her meager wages by selling bread from her Brooklyn apartment; Monica, who is stirring a few “perks” into her Green Card marriage and Ava, her one time confidant, whose impending success at the America Dream has Valdi unnerved.

Set further and further adrift from her own dream of becoming an award-winning writer, Valdi’s life becomes hopelessly entangled in the unending demands of her latest employers, a Manhattan couple with an errant son. Valdi’s chance encounter with her estranged, wildly successful, twin sister pushes her to the brink. She has two choices: sink or swim.

Description

Education, Edukation, Edukashun, is the most hilarious, entertaining and enlightening account of modern British education you are ever likely to read.

This fast paced story leads the reader along the litter strewn corridors of Gruffydd ap Cynan Comprehensive School, where Dave Falconer, a disillusioned and undervalued teacher battles with inadequate resources, disaffected pupils and colleagues crazy enough to be certified.

Written with verve and acerbic wit it relates the amusing consequences of teaching young, inexperienced and hormonally rampant teens the value of sex education, the devastating repercussions of a too liberal attitude to work experience and the disastrous consequences of holding an end of year prom in a luxurious hotel for one hundred and sixty excited and intoxicated teenagers.

Education, Edukation, Edukashun is simply not to be missed. It will have all who’ve experienced the stifling mediocrity of the state education system cheering to the last page.

Description

“The Guilt Gene, Diana Raab’s second book of poetry, has the straight-forward confessional tone that distinguishes her best work whether in prose or poetry. Eschewing high flying metaphor and dressed up formality, she confines her subject matter to her inner life and her journal-keeping voice and makes her poems through an emphasis on the line. Her poetry does not pretend to have figured things out; rather, this work is her process of figuring them out, of sorting her past and contemplating her present. The best of these poems derive their beauty from a disarming frankness and a heart that is open, willing to find a personal truth and say it.”

Not rebound, payback, loneliness, or even the great sex, and way beyond love. This is surrender.

In the beds of countless lovers, the immortal Luc Saint-Cyr has been mastered as well as master, commanded and commander. When his mortal lover leaves him, the distraught Luc withdraws and devotes himself to work. His entertainment company throws a ceremony for their most successful rock group, and Luc meets drummer Izzorah “Rah” Ceeow, one of the feline Kin race. Rah’s dark hair and velvety, golden furskin captivate Luc. Pert cat’s ears and a quick smile lighten his mood, and one look into Rah’s emerald eyes, deep and tranquil as a forest pool, and troubles cease.
He suspects the mid-twenties male is a virgin, and Luc, fascinated by Rah’s quiet serenity and lack of guile, longs for a deeper, closer relationship. Savoring Rah’s surrender will be as delicious as taking him. Luc will force nothing, no matter how deep his desire. Rah will give himself to Luc when he is ready to surrender his innocence, to capitulate every part of himself to Luc’s command. Rah will open himself and let himself be taken. Luc’s anticipation and desire are palpable; as real as his hunger for faithful, unconditional love. But to gain Rah, how much of himself is Luc willing to surrender?
This book is a 2010 EPIC Award Finalist in Erotic Science Fiction Romance

Soul Intent – The Sequel Delivers!

Rating: 4 of 5

Author: Dennis Batchelder
Available: Paperback, Kindle

1946 Nuremberg German – Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering faces the death penalty for the atrocities he has carried out in the name of Nazi Germany.  After learning of “Soul Identity”, Goering makes arrangements to have his entire ill gotten gold fortune bequeathed to his soul line for retrieval by future soul carrier.  In the present, Soul Identity overseer Archibald Morgan discovers that Goering’s gold has been stolen.  In order to solve this mystery, Morgan once again turns to Scott Waverly who must recreate the actions of those taken in 1946 in order to uncover the secrets held at the highest level of the company.

While Soul Intent is the sequel to Soul Identity, this offering by Batchelder is much different from the first.  The backbone of this story centers on Madame Flora and Archibald Morgan’s early days with Soul Identity on how each of them made choices to further their causes which they have had to live with for over fifty years.  Batchelder takes the reader on an alternating journey through 1946 Germany and the present day as events of the past unfold through actions in the present. He brings back some of my favorite characters from the first book including, Scott, Val, Archibald, Flora and her granddaughters all who must journey back to Germany to once again find and retrieve what has been stolen.  I also found it interesting how Batchelder wove in Waverly’s discover of his own soul line and how intertwined he and the others at Soul Identity have been throughout time.

If you liked “Soul Identity” you’ll find this an even richer and more entertaining chapter in the series.

Sorceress – Even Better than Book 1 in the Series!

Rating: 5 of 5, TMBOA Recommended
Author: David Korinetz

Available: Paperback

After defeating the powerful sorceress Magdalen and stripping her of her power to save their world from the evil Halfling emperor, the small and brave band of Balorian Knights along with the wizard Aldus make their way home to their families.  Unfortunately, the emperor does not give up so easily and soon he regains control of the talisman Aedon they worked so hard to retrieve.  Haunted by his love for the sorceress, Rodney is driven to take his knights once again into harms way to free his once nemesis Magdalen and recover Aedon or all they have worked so hard to obtain will be forever lost.

David Korinetz’s Sorceress is book 2 in the Chronicles of the Daemon Knights.  This offering is even more developed and the action and characters more compelling than in his wonderful debut novel.  In Sorceress Korinetz sets up multiple parallel story arcs – each one which could have been an independent and compelling story unto their own.  He masterfully weaves in each as the tension builds in each arc to its ultimate climax where all arcs eventually join.  I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.  Korinetz’s writing is further refined and one of my favorite sub stories from the first novel involving the transformation of humans and animals into were-beasts is revisited.  The heros set out to take on the witch Angelina and save their fallen comrade has one wondering how they could possibly take on such a powerful witch and band of powerful were-beasts and come out alive.  This is where Korinetz shines – setting up what should be an impossible scenario involving a rag-tag group of underdogs who must find a way to overcome overwhelming odds.  I’d like to consider myself a fairly creative person but in each and every case where the impossible scenario was setup, I was convinced Korinetz had written himself into a corner leaving no reasonable solution out of the situation.  Not only was I wrong, but I found myself more than satisfied by Korinetz compelling story telling.

My only complaint, is Korinetz ends this book with a huge cliffhanger.  When I finished reading it, I felt the same way I did in my younger years after seeing the end of The Empire Strikes Back in theaters.  I couldn’t wait to see the next movie.  In similar fashion, I have to know what happens next.  The good news is, Korinetz is hard at work on the next chapter of this series.  It’s already on my list…

And the Devil Laughed – Murder in a Small Australian Coastal Town

Rating: 4 of 5
Author: Carole Sutton

Available: Paperback

Recovering from the trauma of her own brutal attack and subsequent personal tragedies, detective Hannah Ford attempts to regain her career and life by going undercover to investigate drug trafficking in a small Australian coastal town.  But things quickly become more complicated for Hannah when a local bar maid’s body turns up in a newly excavated grave.  Convinced these events may be connected, Hannah investigates both  crimes in hopes of finding the truth.  Unfortunately, she must battle her past demons haunting her every move while the town’s killer soon stalks her as their next victim.

For those who have ever lived in or visited a small town, there is something special about the way everyone knows everyone else – their families, their past, their desires, and their secrets.  But while the town’s residents are inviting to visitors, being able to be truly taken in and trusted as one of their own is quite a different matter.  Inherent in these small towns is a mistrust of outsiders especially when something untoward such as a murder takes place.  Suddenly everyone clams up concerned that external prying eyes may discover secrets folks would rather have left buried and forgotten.  In And the Devil Laughed, Sutton does a marvelous job at creating such a small town.  Her characters are wonderfully complex, flawed, and filled with intrigue – each one having their own personal hardships, interests – and more often than not – something to hide.  The isolation of this tight knit community further adds to the overall ambiance of this unique mystery.

As in her debut novel, Ferryman, Sutton draws on her sea fairing experience to provide the reader with a sense of realism that can only be achieved by someone having a love and passion for sailing.  In Agatha Christie flair, Sutton introduces us skillfully to an eclectic mix of characters each having their own potential reasons for committing the crime.  I, for one, was left guessing until the very satisfying and action packed ending.

Sutton’s readers will not be disappointed.  And the Devil Laughed is an entertaining and engaging read.

prophecy, 2012, climate

Description

Do you know what the prophets told us about the end of the world, or why they told us about it? They actually didn’t tell us about the “end of the world,” or even the “end of the world as we know it.” The world will change, just like they said it would, and those who know what to expect are going to be the ones who inherit a new generation of humanity. The prophets didn’t mention anything about a miraculous being that would save everyone who believed in miraculous beings. What they told us includes a leader of humanity, anointed by God. But he’s not going to whisk anyone away to the safety of Heaven during the destructive events. Instead, he’s going to suffer at the hands of humanity for being who he is, and then lead the way for those who want to survive.

Of course you knew that the world would be destroyed by fire. Everyone who was raised in a religious home knows that. But do you know what will cause that fire? Did you know that the prophets told us that pollution would be the cause? Can you think of any kind of pollutant that could cause the earth to burn? Could “global warming” be what the prophets were warning us about?

This book is about prophecy of the Old Testament. It includes the primary prophecies and how they are relevant today, even though they were written thousands of years ago and most are thought to have been fulfilled previously. Also included is the reasoning behind the birth of the religions we have today, and how they were predicted by the prophets. This book is not a religious book, because no particular religious beliefs are followed as many misunderstandings that that have been made by various religions of our world are untangled.

He illustrates conditions in which such an education might have taken place to prepare Jesus for his ministry. As the story unfolds, Satia, the son of a wealthy caravan owner. meets the 12-year-old Yeshua (Jesus) as the latter flees in rebellion from his Essene teachers. The two become fast friends and stay that way for the 18 years not covered in the Bible – the years between the finding of Jesus in the Temple and the beginning of his short ministry. In addition to several novels, Law has written other books under his own name, Stanislaw Kapuscinski, which cover esoteric topics such as the Key to Immortality, Visualization, and The Dictionary of Biblical Symbolism.

Description

“Outsmart the Unexpected” will help you to become a more quick thinking and creative problem solver. Each short, cliffhanger story in this collection unfolds a rather unusual (to make it more fun), no-time-to-lose predicament.
You’ll need to think outside-the-box in order to figure a way out.

These dilemmas will have you stretching your imagination and discovering the boundaries of what you’re capable of mentally, morally, and emotionally when faced with a situation you didn’t see coming. And because no challenge would be complete without a bit of sparse, misleading, or perplexing information, there’s some of that in the mix for you to wrap your ingenuity and deductive reasoning powers around as well.

Everyone has the capacity to think on their feet and be creative, but those mental muscles are often left untapped or undeveloped. Solving these edge-of-your-seat predicaments will build your problem solving muscles and confidence in handling any surprise that comes your way.

Jeff Davis Swain digs up evidence for a Raleigh, North Carolina, trial law firm. Like Raleigh, Swain is Southern with blue-collar roots but now finds himself more at home in an Audi convertible than a rusty pickup. When one of the firm’s clients comes home to find his McMansion burglarized — and his new wife’s dog dead in the kitchen — the man suspects his ex-wife. But Swain senses this is someone far more dangerous. From a stolen minivan, washed-up jazz bassist Leonard Noblac watches as Swain begins to investigate. He’s ready to perform his next crime to punish the zeros in the soulless suburb of Rocky Falls, and he’s happy to have Swain in his audience. Used to working from the shadow at the back of the stage, Leonard intends to put down a throbbing beat of crime and destruction in Rocky Falls — a jazz album of felonies, the performance he knows will finally make him famous. Jeff must find Leonard and stop him — but that will put those closest to Jeff in mortal danger.

Description

Sometimes life is tough. While Psalm 1 is a very brief passage of Scripture it remains one of the best sources of reassurance and hope during the uncertain and troubling times of life. This book offers some timeless truths to promote a healthier, spiritual, inner well-being.
The book draws from the four habits of the “blessed man” listed in Psalm 1. It reveals how life-changing these habits can be if one chooses to seriously live by them. These habits touch several subjects such as obedience, holiness, true faith, spiritual maturity, proper Christian behavior and others. The book reveals how true prosperity and blessings are not necessarily money and possessions but it is a quality of life that far surpasses material possessions. All these things and more are expounded upon in an interesting and easy-to-read style. The author has used several anecdotes to create a classic that is bound to be a blessing to all who read and practically apply it.

Description

Skyboarders is an exciting new serial fiction novel set in a post-apocalyptic world lost in the distant future.

It is the year 1277 according to the City Calender of the Valley of Karr. It has been seventy-six years since the last Emperor, Melakur TeRasa, was brutally assassinated and the Palace burned. His two sons were either killed, or mysteriously vanished. Now people say that both must be dead, or one of them would have stepped forward to claim the throne.

In that time, the southern Houses have gained strength and power, looming over the last free packs of the north, and an ancient threat is growing deep under the ground. People are vanishing, strange armored men with no faces are appearing at night, able to fly without a skyboard, and half-demon “von-men” with glowing eyes are roaming the streets dragging unsuspecting peasants down to subterranean imprisonment.

In the northernmost tip of the Valley of Karr, a young warrior named Tarek has mastered the art of skyboarding, but he still searches for clues about his missing past. He’s fought his way into a position of authority in the roughest ‘boardpack in the Valley, the Jelka, but his fight isn’t over yet.

Episode 1, Jelka, follows Tarek as he uncovers treachery among his superiors which will ultimately change the fate of the Empire.

Johnston’s Army of Tennessee surrendered to General William Tecumseh Sherman in North Carolina on April, 1865. Of the 1,200 men who fought in the First Tennessee, only 65 were left to be paroled on that day. “Co.

Description

Slaves to the Empowered introduces us to the world of Lageya, a world steeped in forbidden magick, warring cultures, and clashing politics. Most live by the sword in this world where the greatest kingdom, the Divine Yigan Confederacy, maintains dominance by crushing any nation that will not submit to them. The Gellic Nation has only survived because the Confederacy needs them. However, this tribal nation is very aware how easily their ally could destroy them. They also know the Confederacy’s need of them is waning. The Gels must obey when they are ordered into lands held by dark magick to eliminate a malevolent cult. In sinister lands, they find people practicing wicked and sexual activities, find sorcerers engaging in a dark ritual to infuse an army with infernal powers. But sometimes good and evil are not as they first seem, and sometimes when the light betrays you, a greater ally can be found in the dark. Some content unsuitable for children under 17.

Fantasy, Humor, Rhinegold myth

Description

Aliens, ancient gods, humor, beautiful Valkyries, heros, conniving nobles, betrayal, greed, incest, a magical gold horde; this story has something for everyone.
Fafner, from the planet Zaftan 31B and the most notorious criminal in the universe, is stranded on Earth after civilization has been ravaged by disease, war and pollution. He decides to hone his felonious skills by stealing the powerful artifacts developed by another alien, Alberich. But Alberich is determined to regain the artifacts or at least make Fafner pay for stealing them.
Alberich’s devices, made for the magical Rhinegold, give the user vast powers. The Chip, allows the user to receive information instantaneously from anywhere in the universe. The second device, called the Helm is a beanie-like hat that allows the wearer to see the life lines of every creature in the vicinity.
Wotan, god of the Saxons and Vikings, has to recover the Rhinegold in order to prevent his aging. He recognizes the greatly enhanced power of the golden horde thanks to Alberich’s genius. He plans to make a big comeback and regain millions of worshippers. To take the devices away from Fafner, he needs a old-fashioned hero: one who is strong of arm and weak of brain.
While these conflicts rage on, Brunnhilde, an ex-Valkyrie, searches for the meaning of true love. Despite a few false starts and some problems such as the wrath of the god Wotan and mean-spirited men, Brunnhilde struggles to understand mortal love while she seeks a good man to try it out on.
If you like authors Terry Pratchett, Tom Holt or Chris Moore, you’ll love this story.

With a new and exciting voice, Cat Connor introduces Ellie Conway, an FBI Agent who challenges the rules with her attitude, sense of the ridiculous and how she tackles a serial murderer with a difference: a murderer connected with Ellie’s internet poetry chat room.

With a litter of bodies ‘presented’ in unexpected places, Killerbyte is a provocatively bizarre and entertaining dance. Ellie, with the aid of Mac Connelly, must track down a seemingly motiveless and ghost-like murderer, who defies detection. After her own mother is dispatched by this slaughterer, Ellie fears for the lives of everyone close: her lover Mac, her father, her boss Special Agent Caine Grafton, and chat room colleagues. Reluctantly she begins to suspect her boss, colleagues and, her brother Aidan.

A chance remark provides a connection between past hurts and present pain.

Kurt’s life has been one dead end after another since he was convicted of attempted rape thirty years ago.
Inspired by a dream, he thinks he’s finally found the way to Easy St. and it starts with kidnapping Vicky, the woman who had him arrested all those years ago.
Surely Vicky’s husband, wealthy investment consultant Jimmy, would pay handsomely for the safe return of his wife.

To make matters worse, Kurt gets on the wrong side of a biker, a bookie and an ex-Navy SEAL who seem determined to make the rest of his life as painful as possible.
Meanwhile, Danny Putnam is enjoying life in Florida. He owns a successful dive shop and has a very comfortable lifestyle until he starts having bizarre dreams about his murdered wife and a beautiful woman he has never met. Suddenly his comfortable life becomes very complicated.
In the first novel by Tim Baker the lives of four people will meet at a crossroads where love, hate, betrayal and honesty converge for some very surprising results.

Description

“A riveting true story that reads like a high-octane crime thriller.”
—Midwest Book Review

“A true crime memoir reminiscent of Basic Instinct.”
—Reader Views online

“Remember the movie Fatal Attraction? And the movie Basic Instinct? And the movie Play Misty For Me? Put all three in a blender, hit frappe and stand back. What comes out would be Gary Taylor’s new book—Luggage By Kroger.”
—Author Randall Radic

Reporter’s Award-Winning True Crime Memoir
Offers Inside View Of Notorious Texas Fatal Attraction Tale

Since its publication in December of 2008, Luggage By Kroger has established itself as one of 2009’s top true crime thrillers, winning awards in five national book contests and adding to the legend of a classic American murder mystery story that has been grabbing headlines since 1980 as the definitive real-life fatal attraction saga.

In Luggage By Kroger, former Houston Post reporter Gary Taylor recounts his intensely personal involvement in the trail of controversy that has followed Texas attorney Catherine Mehaffey Shelton for nearly three decades. It’s a trail littered with murder investigations and acts of violence that has warranted coverage by media outlets as diverse as People magazine, The Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Press, CBS-News 48 Hours and the A&E channel’s American Justice. It’s a trail that has placed Taylor in the public eye as a true-life fatal attraction interview subject on talk shows from Oprah Winfrey to Sally Jesse Raphael. It’s a story that has been twice-optioned for television docudramas and served as the lead segment on a prime-time TV special called Crimes of Passion.

But the intimate details of Taylor’s fatal attraction tale have remained under the radar until now. With his true crime memoir, Taylor invites the reader to grab a seat on the wild ride of an obsessive relationship, from its erotic beginning through the violent end and the trials required to clean up the mess. Laying bitterness aside, he employs self-deprecating humor to share comical anecdotes and maintain a reporter’s detachment on what becomes a tale of self-discovery through a potentially deadly encounter that nearly cost him his life.

Luggage By Kroger defies all efforts to pigeonhole it into one specific genre. In the end, however, it emerges as an action-packed and suspenseful memoir of a personal odyssey that should tantalize a wide range of reading interests.

espionage, spy, China

Description

“The Guys Who Spied for China is written by Gordon Basichis. The novel is a
roman a clef, based on the author’s very real experiences helping to uncover
American made Chinese Moles and their elaborate and most formidable
espionage network that began functioning just after the Korean War. We can
see from the recurring headlines that it still functions today.

The book chronicles an offbeat relationship between two disparate souls, the
author and a senior high level intelligence operative, who form a strange
union through fate and circumstance. It is quirky and often funny. It
is very different from typical spy novels. The author describes it as his
E-Ticket Ride into this shadow world of intrigue, danger and deception.

The story takes place largely in California, in the Santa Monica Mountain
Range, just above Beverly Hills. California has long been the happy
hunting ground for Chinese spies. It tells a tale that has yet to be told.
It does so with remarkable style and intimacy.

Gordon Basichis is the author of two previous books, the best selling
Beautiful Bad Girl, The Vicki Morgan Story. This book tells the tempestuous
affair between department store scion and Ronald Reagan Kitchen Cabinet
Member, Alfred Bloomingdale, and his mistress, Vicki Morgan. The Constant
Travellers is a New Age Fantasy about the West that never was. Basichis has
worked as a screenwriter and producer. He is Co-Founder of Corra Group,
specializing in background checks and corporate research. He has also been
a marketing executive and journalist. He currently lives in Southern
California.

Description

Camille’s mother Connie collects people. After Connie’s brother Wilson has ‘the accident’ (a single shot to the abdomen; the blood in the snow beside the flagpole; the siren and the ambulance), they move into an abandoned ski resort in Colorado with Wilson’s widow Wanda, an agoraphobic veterinarian, and her two sons, Russell, who only wants to be normal, and Wilsie, who is anything but normal. Determined never to use his voice, Wilsie communicates on a blackboard and records other people’s conversations on a Fisher Price tape recorder.

Camille’s mother Connie makes sure there are many voices to record: Teresa, an ex opera singer; Helen, Stacey, and Winnie, three Certified Veterinary Technicians; Margie, a lonely, suicidal librarian; Finn Green, a PR man; and a group of disillusioned hitchhikers no one will pick up.

Wilsie records the progress of their lives, a world of sex, death, and white noise, but when Wilsie is finally forced to use his voice Camille is left with over four hundred cassette tapes documenting the rise and fall of a micro society with one unmistakable message: we are all alone, even in the company of others.

With a cast of eccentrics that rivals “The Royal Tenenbaums”, ALONE IN THE COMPANY OF OTHERS is about people and their treasured possessions—a running tape recorder, a collection of diplomas, an attic full of disfigured mannequins, or shelves and shelves of books in an all but abandoned public library—and the distinctive role that each of us plays as part of a group dynamic. The book questions where each of us essentially exists—within the singular, the plural, or both.

The Adventures of the Muffin Family – Chip and the Vacation Plans – A Lesson in Obedience

Rating: 4 of 5

Author: Peggy Headings
Available: Paperback, Kindle

After experimenting with a variety of new ingredients for her muffins, a little old lady named Nellie was shaken by the sound of what she thought was her stove exploding.  Imagine her surprise when she found her muffins had come to life!  In this adventure of the muffin family, everyone prepares to leave on vacation to visit their cousins.  Unfortunately, young Chip has a problem listening to his parents and his disobedience causes hardship for not only his family but for Chip as well.

Peggy Heading’s Adventures of the Muffin Family reminds the reader immediately of the children’s classic The Gingerbread Man.  But in Heading’s world, we get an entire family which sets up a fun and exciting way for kids to learn life lessons!  The storyline is instructive for kids while the pictures are engaging and fun which keep their attention.

I read this story to my five-year-old son and he loved the illustrations.  He frequently laughed at the funny muffin people and their unique names – “chip”, “berry”, “poppy”, “cherry”.  The ability to capture a young child’s attention while teaching an important lesson of selflessness and obedience, isn’t easy but comes through clearly in Heading’s work.  My son and I eagerly await what is next in store for young chip and the muffins!

Ridan Publishing Edition – Now Available

I’m pleased to announce, that after signing with Ridan Publishing, the second printing of The Time Cavern is now available!

The Time Cavern - Second Edition

This new version has been completely reworked and includes a new cover, new layout, great graphics, teaser chapter and is cheaper than the first version!

Please click on the image and click the following tags:

************************************

Here’s what readers are saying:

“The Time Cavern introduces us to what might just be the most original time machine concept ever – not to give anything away,
but if you’re a nut about time-travel, this is worth for that alone.”
— Eric D. Knapp, author of Cluck
“Todd Fonseca’s book is an adventure story that both kids and adults will love.”
— Shannon Yarbrough, St. Louis
“Charming is the only word I can think of to describe this book. The Amish element, the two cute kids, their families, the old barn, and, of course, what they discover in the woods is a compelling blend.”
— Sandy Nathan, California
“The mystery of The Time Cavern is clever, well-thought out, nicely researched in its details, and leaves me wanting more. I would love to read more of this story, so I hope a sequel will be forthcoming. Very well-written & highly recommended to readers of all ages!”
— Rai Aren, author of Secret of the Sands
“While reading The Time Cavern I was totally transported back to my childhood when I was an avid reader of both the Hardy Boys mystery series and, yes, even the Nancy Drew mysteries. Those books were great back then and Fonseca has captured the essence of what made those books great and has brought that essence
forward in time for today’s young readers.”
— Gary V. Tenuta, author of The Ezekiel Code
“Todd A. Fonseca’s “The Time Cavern” is a fantastic read for
children and adults alike. ”
— J.R. Reardon, author of Confedential Communications

Becoming Alice – A Coming of Age Memoir set during WWII

Rating: 4 of 5

Author: Alice Rene
Available: Paperback

The daughter of a successful Austrian physician, young Ilse had a privileged life.  That changed the day the Nazi’s marched down her street in Vienna.  Suddenly, the family housekeeper could not longer come to their home and her father could no longer see patients.  Having no income, her family sold their possessions on the black market to survive.  Fearing for their lives, they fled Austria and embarked on a harrowing journey to America staying one step ahead of the Germans.

Set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most tragic events, Alice Rene’s Becoming Alice is a different type of coming of age Memoir.  The impact of Hitler’s advance throughout Europe profoundly impacted so many and Rene’s family was no different.  Rene’s father struggles to make piece with the fact his once prominent position as a physician is gone and he must try to make ends meet as a grocer.  Her mother, intelligent and resourceful, cares little about position and pragmatically seeks for ways to help the family survive almost in secret in fear that her husband will hold her in contempt. Rene’s older brother is forever seeking success in life and in love.  All the while, little Ilse is out of sorts trying to placate all family members while finding her own way as a poor immigrant looking to fit in just like any other young girl.

Through all of these experiences, Ilse eventually finds her way.  What type of person does she want to be?  Who will she depend on?  Who will she be friends with?  Who will she love?  Ilse becomes Alice.

One can not help but wonder what life would have been like for the Rene’s family had world events not had transpired as they did.  Her father would likely to have continued as a successful physician and Alice’s coming of age would have been much different as the daughter of such a prominent family.  Rene ends Becoming Alice with a few very satisfying comments on the eventual paths life has taken for many of the people featured in her Memoir.

Though her experiences are extraordinary, Rene’s Memoir causes a great deal of self reflection on the readers part forcing all of us to appreciate how our own experiences have so profoundly shaped our lives.

Description

For little fashionistas everywhere. Join in with the sartorial adventures of one snazzy dresser as she discovers that so many clothes are too purpley, too prickly, too fancy, too … ! But, of course, there is something that she loves to wear …and it is just perfect.

Every kid knows that clothes picked out for them by a parent are never quite right. While many picture books focus on “getting dressed,” few touch on the comfort factor, which, for kids, ages 2-8, trumps style, sophistication and even cleanliness.

My 49-word, picture book, Too Purpley! presents a kid’s common complaints about the many physical and visual discomforts of clothing. Simply versed, yet universal in theme, Too Purpley! also hints at a child’s comfort with the familiar – providing a gentle reminder to parents that clothing battles aren’t always worth fighting.

Having just finished college, any grad would’ve been excited to begin a career in the field she majored in, unless of course, she secretly hated it. As was Sandy’s story. She attempts to postpone the inevitable until the end of summer, which backfires. Little did she know that her mother and uncle had other plans for her, plans which she detested almost as much as or even more so than her major. In any event, Sandy endeavors to break away from the family’s traditions and have a fun filled summer without interference. Was that going to happen? Not a chance, unless, if falling prey to a whirlwind of uncomfortable situations filled with rejection, heartbreak and unexpected turn of events is considered fun. Darn if her first free day didn’t come with two favors that ultimately change her life.

Description

It seems too good to be true. When Pete McFadden invents his own system of fortune-telling, he doesn’t really expect anyone to take it seriously. He can’t imagine that it will become Hollywood’s next spiritual fad. And he certainly never dreams that “Horokinetics” could make him famous. But it does. And when his creation becomes the battleground between a manipulative cult leader and an unscrupulous corporation, Pete learns a simple truth. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stunt Road is an intelligent, cynical and above all entertaining foray into the murky world of for-profit spirituality. If you’ve ever raised an eyebrow at self-improvement schemes, corporate marketing mania or the general gullibility of your fellow men, then this book is a treat. And if you haven’t, then it is a must-read.

Memoir, Mental Illness, Drugs

Description

Carlton Davis, architect and artists writes a no holds bared story of his mental illness, which was undiagnosed for 30 years and landed him in a mental hospital twice. The first time in 1994 he walked out of the facility without permission because the hospital refused to treat a medical condition. He was returned after a visit to the emergency room of the local medical hospital. The mental hospital wanted to incarcerate him as crazy against his will. He refused and threatened to sue the institution. In the end he stayed to complete a 28-day program for alcohol and drug abuse. This trip to the mental hospital for addiction failed to cure him of the disease.

Mr. Davis, spent eight more years trying to end his addiction which included a trip to the Betty Ford Clinic in Palm Springs before he once again found himself in the same mental hospital after a suicide attempt. Voluntarily committing himself to the facility. Davis was immediately placed on involuntary hold against his will because the doctors stated he threatened his wife and doctor. It took Davis seventy two hours undo this hold and get himself placed in a unlocked part of the hospital, and another week before he was even able to get psychiatric help.

As he recounts in his book, Mr. Davis believed his life long troubles with drugs, instability, depression, rage, and periods of supreme exhilaration were caused by a childhood which included kipnapping and sexual abuse.

Davis finally received help and a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, which changed his life. Finally given proper medication for manic-depression, he no longer desired illegal drugs, or had suicidal tendencies.

Description

Ryan Murphy is an assistant district attorney who likes her Tequila cold and her cops hot. With a mouth that doesn’t know quite when to stop, her attitude plays well in front of a jury, but has a tendency to tick off judges, defendants, and other attorneys alike. Battling demons from her past and checking her self-destructive streak take a back seat to her ambition, and she’s not above skating the line just a little to get what she wants. It seems her hard work is just about to pay off. If she snags a detective in the process, well, that’s just a little lagniappe for her trouble. Life should be good.

Enter a demented psycho, with a plan to ruin Ryan’s life before he ultimately kills her.

Set against the backdrop of pre-Katrina New Orleans, Gumbo Justice is the first in a series that follows the tumultuous life of prosecutor Ryan Murphy.

When her neighbor Chester Lampi is shot and killed in his hunting blind, sixty-six-year-old widow Gertie Johnson seizes the opportunity to become a detective. Gertie is abetted (and hindered) in her investigation by her grandson Little Donny, man-hungry best friend Cora Mae, and volunteer bodyguard Kitty. It doesn’t help that Chester’s death has been ruled an accident by the sheriff of this backwoods community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Or that Sheriff Blaze Johnson happens to be Gertie’s son.

Whether it’s interrogating neighbors, spying, or impersonating the FBI—not to mention staying one step ahead of Blaze—Gertie will do whatever it takes to solve the case, even when the killer takes aim at her.

Description

As one of the first post-WWII Baby Boomers, Jim Chambers’ childhood and early teenage years were in the 1950s, a remarkable decade for the United States that saw enormous political, technological, and cultural changes. Although many books have covered the headline-making events of the era in great detail, few of these books give the reader a real feel for what daily life was like for Americans living in that decade, especially for kids growing up then. The author remembers the little nuts and bolts things of daily life for families during the fascinating decade known as the Fabulous Fifties. “Recollections” perfectly blends paying homage to the little day-to-day rituals with a larger scale examination of social issues and mores of the times, and it’s equally entertaining on either level. “Recollections” is a warm, lovingly honest, and fascinating portrait of America in the mid-20th Century.

While lamenting the break-up with her most recent “the one” during a holiday meltdown, Charisse realizes she has a type when it comes to men—players, players, and more players. A magazine article motivates her to swear off men and examine the complex roots of her romantic fiascos.

Laugh loud and often as Charisse discovers whether her choices in men reflect more than a penchant for good looks, great sex, and bad judgment.

Description

“Jacob’s Courage” is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are brutally murdered. From desperate despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.

Called, “gut wrenching” and “heart rending,” this coming-of-age love story allows the reader to comprehend the terror experienced by Holocaust victims on a personal level. Yet, it also reveals the triumphant spirit of humankind and demonstrates how ordinary people can perform extraordinary acts of courage when the lives of loved ones are in danger.

A film company has expressed interest in the movie rights and Jaocb’s Courage has been reviewed extensively, including by Jewish Book World and by the Association of Jewish Libraries. This book resides at many international Holocaust Museums, including Yad Vashem, The US Holocaust Museum, the Toledo Holocaust Museum, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and a Holocaust museum in Poland.

A teen uprooted from her home, she is forced to live with her eccentric grandmother whom Destiny has been taught her whole life to fear. She must start her life over living with an old woman who is not only a stranger to her, but just strange. All Destiny wants is to fit in with kids like her and begin to pull her life back together.

But Destiny soon discovers she is not like the other teens at all. She has developed the family gift of being able to see and talk to ghosts and her estranged grandmother will be the one person who can help her understand what the fates have dealt her…a haunted destiny. Being the town freak does not put Destiny high on the potential friends list, but Jake Turner sees something in her that the other teens from Blake High don’t. Destiny is actually able to put her unique talent to use and help Jake communicate with his recently deceased sister forming a bond between them that no one else can share or know about. In an extraordinary twist of events, Jake’s girlfriend Amy receives some furniture with some frightening ghostly spirits attached to it, and Jake turns to Destiny for help.

Now Destiny must struggle with a force she is unprepared to handle. When a party at Amy’s becomes a showdown between good and evil will Destiny have what it takes to save Amy and the others? Will the help of her grandmother, two resident ghosts and a surprise visitor be enough to rid the Morgan family of the evil possessing them and allow Destiny to finally gain the acceptance she so desperately wants? Or will the ancient evil destroy them all?

Jack Weaver can’t seem to escape a life of lies. First as a Seal, then as an undercover CIA operative working in the largest drug cartel in Columbia Jack’s entire existence is based on being someone other than who he truly is. While serving as Chief Security Officer to one of the most dangerous men on earth Jack uncovers a plot to assassinate the President-Elect on Inauguration Day. Suddenly things become infinitely worse when his ex-SEAL commander who is now a Deputy Director with the CIA shows up and blows his cover. Forced to kill him, Jack is now on the run not only for his life but he’s the only one who knows about the assassination attempt, other than a mysterious man who calls himself the Emperor and seems to be calling all the shots.

Moreover, Jack is being haunted by terrifying dreams from his past that seem to be connected to this entire conspiracy involving his old SEAL team. Desperate for answers Jack breaks into the home of Vice-President elect Warren Walters, another SEAL teammate, where he is discovered by Warren’s abused wife Caroline. He forces Caroline to go with him with the intentions of letting her go once he gets the information he needs. Overcoming her fear of Jack, Caroline refuses to leave, seeing this as an opportunity to escape her own life of lies. This starts a chain reaction of feelings neither of them is prepared for. The Emperor has seriously underestimated Jack’s determination to find answers and is losing control over all the puppets he has in play. As Jack and Caroline come closer and closer to the answers and each other, will they be able to save the President-elect’s life as well as their own, or will a blast from Jack’s past destroy them all?

With its long history of pollution and neglect, the canal has gained a dubious reputation for ruining people’s lives — Joe’s included. But to Joe’s younger partner, Alan D’Angelo, Joe is little more than a liability, a chain-smoking failure who stands in the way of a much-coveted promotion. Determined to turn the occasion of their investigation to his favor, Alan vows to end Joe’s career by beating him to the killer and currying favor with their new boss. But when it comes to the canal nothing is ever what it seems: as Joe and Alan set out to catch their killer, they’re about to stumble across an unspeakable secret, one that’s waiting for them just beneath the water’s dark surface…

What at first seemed to be a chaotic uprising of machine against man is becoming a controlled event, destroying the lives of billions and hurling the known galaxy into a state of utter discord. The fourth fall of mankind is well underway. The Order of Eden seems to be the only force for order and peace, offering a place in their new society in trade for a large cash investment and their freedom. Captain Valance and the Triton crew are finally working as a unit. Oblivious to the grand designs of the Order of Eden, they will be drawn into the center of a galactic conflict over a planet with a secret that’s been buried for decades. The question put to them is not if they can prevail, but if they can survive. Frontline takes the Spinward Fringe series to an epic scale without leaving what makes Space Opera great behind. Frontline has the drama, grit, characterization and humor we’ve come to expect from Randolph Lalonde.

Description

Forewarned by his mother to pick his friends carefully, Richard finds himself dangling from a rock and about to drop into the Gulf of Mexico when his chosen pal drives his car off the Galveston seawall. Convicted of road rage forty years later, this is but one of the many stories he tells the constantly changing cast of court-appointed psychologists and therapists he winds up going through before it’s all said and done. Growing up with two brothers and a sister was no picnic back in the fifties. So what if oldest brother John was a natural athlete and a bona fide genius?
Take away his speed reading skills and the photographic memory and he was just another jock. Middle brother Harry, on the other hand, was the no account rat of the family and a veritable thorn in Richard’s side. As for his on-again, off-again younger sister, who knew where she stood? If Judy idolized him like he thought she did, why was she always squealing on him? And could his mother’s twisted bedtime stories be the root of Richard’s problems?

Description

This is the true story of a father reunited with his young son. He discovers, over time, that the boy’s mind is fractured into more than 400 multiple personalities that protect his secrets. The family’s lives are threatened when they discover he is also possessed by demons that seek to destroy them. The boy’s mother offered her son up to a satanic cult and to abuses so horrific that they seem more like fiction than reality. How does this happen to a God-fearing family, and how do they deal with what is revealed to them? A young boy’s secrets could destroy this family, or, at the very least, bring it to its knees.

When the O’Neal family is threatened by mysterious forces, cultic rituals, and a labyrinth of obstacles, they find out how far they will go and how hard they will fight to save one of their own and themselves in the ultimate, real life battle of good verses evil.

Description

A woman’s struggle as she searches for her missing husband leads to shocking revelations about him, his family, and the crime of adult kidnapping.

Abby meets Caiden when she is sixteen years old and knows she has met her soul mate. At nineteen Abby marries the love of her life and together they begin a family of their own. Life gives them a gift, but this gift is short lived. After seven years of marriage it ends.

>Abby is left alone with her two children and the bloody clothes that Caiden was last seen in. With the horrifying revelations from her mother in law Abby sets out to prove her husband is indeed alive and that he’s been taken against his will by his mother, brothers, and sisters in a sick and twisted game of keep-away.

Knowing her husband isn’t dead, Abby, with the help and support of her family, begins a search that takes her from Arizona to Arkansas and lasts for a span of eight years.

On a visit to Caiden’s birthplace, Abby and her brother Chase meet with Caiden’s best friend who fills them in with the secrets of her husband’s childhood and of the hell he endured. He tells them of the nightmares, the deceit, and the abuse Caiden suffered at the hands of his family.

More determined than ever to locate her husband, before his family kills him, Abby hires a private investigator who opens the doors to Caiden’s private world of hell and exposes his family for what they are, but will he be on time? Will Abby be on time to save her soul mate? Can she make him want to fight one last time?

River of Tears is a tale of personal triumph over heartbreak, of unconditional love and bravery. It is a compelling modern-day story depicting how the power of love can overcome even the darkest facets of human nature. The story demonstrates how self-determination and loyalty can lead to unimaginable accomplishment, regardless of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It is a story of faith in the face of tremendous loss, where fear and discouragement threaten to steal the last glimmer of hope. Will this shred of hope be enough to sustain, or will it ultimately crush Abby’s dreams of lasting happiness?

River of Tears will take you on a journey you will never forget, it will make you want to gather all you love close and keep them there, because we never know what’s around the next corner of our lives.

Description

The Accused Madam is founded by Vicky Gallas and offers the European liberal perspective on adult business prosecutions and legal pursuits in the US. Daily topics frequently involve commentary on political agendas and current news specific to government, law, and adult business. This blog is, avowedly, a view from the left and in the voice of a defendant that was pursued relentlessly by those with a political agenda.

Vicky Gallas owned escort services in Orlando, Florida for a decade when she was prosecuted on organized crime charges and subsequently acquitted by a jury of her peers.

Description

Vicky Gallas opened her Orlando-based escort service in 1992. Beginning in 1994, she became the subject of years of law enforcement-induced intimidation and publicized misinformation. In this honest and shocking story never before told, we learn about the hypocrisy that permeates a legal system in which business owners can be prosecuted by the very individuals who benefit from their services. In Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando, former escort service proprietor Gallas offers a revealing view into the workings of escort services and the extremes a community’s “morality police” will go to shut their doors and imprison their owners. This memoir is not intended as a defense of escort services. Rather, it is a straightforward and carefully documented overview of the fundamental flaws in the U.S. criminal justice system and how one woman stood up to state RICO charges to become the only escort service owner in the U.S. to be found not guilty.

When I left McKarey’s Bluff ten years ago, I never planned to return. Ariel Morgan had refused to marry me and there was nothing left to stay for. Now Ariel is dead, supposedly by her own hand, and her younger sister, Rachel, is spiraling toward that same fate. Rachel used to be in love with me, maybe even more than Ariel. But she was a kid then. Now I’m returning to save a woman. And McKarey’s Bluff is a small town haunted by more than Ariel’s death. Years ago fifteen prostitutes disappeared. Sometimes the ghosts come back, not that I believe in them. But something isn’t right here, and I’m seeing things I can’t explain. I came to save Rachel, but I’m not even sure I can save myself anymore.

A teenage runaway disappears from the streets. The only people that care, or even notice, are her two best friends who are also runaways. For reasons of their own, they can’t go to the police for help.

They seek out Michael Sykora, a software designer by day and hit man by night. Known on the streets as The Ghost, Michael has a reputation for taking on the twisted criminals. Rapists. Child molesters. He has never been hired to find the lost. Until now.

Michael teams up with ex-prostitute Nicki and full-time hit man Sean. Together they bend the rules of the justice system in order to find a young girl few people care about. In the process, they uncover a world where salvation comes with a price tag and God’s words are used to incite fear in a congregation of believers.

Description

Shawn Kleiner has it all: money, fame, a skyrocketing career as an international musical phenomenon, his beautiful girlfriend Amy, and all the women he wants– until the night Amy has enough and leaves him stranded in a Scottish castle tower.

He wakes up to find himself mistaken for Niall Campbell, medieval Highland warrior. Soon after, he is sent shimmying down a wind-torn castle wall into a dangerous cross country trek with Niall’s tempting, but knife-wielding fiancee. They are pursued by English soldiers and a Scottish traitor who want Niall dead.

Thrown forward in time, Niall learns history’s horrifying account of his own death, and of the Scots’ slaughter at Bannockburn. Undaunted, he navigates the roiled waters of Shawn’s life– pregnant girlfriend, amorous fans, enemies, and gambling debts— seeking a way to leap back across time to save his people, especially his beloved Allene. His growing fondness for Shawn’s life brings him face to face with his own weakness and teaches him the true meaning of faith.

Blue Bells of Scotland is both a historical adventure and a tale of redemption that will be remembered long after the last page has been turned.

Description

It’s 1990, the Berlin Wall’s fallen and American slacker Gordy Ford arrives in Munich with barely a roof over his head. Hoping to impress Jane, a hip older German, Gordy carries on a half-baked charade that he’s a top Fulbright scholar. Soon Gordy and his long-lost expat pal Tad stumble onto a historical discovery that seems to invoke the wrath of a shady Neo-Nazi wannabe, Hugo, not to mention the recently liberated Russian mafia. But what are they all really after? Each carry secrets and will have to come clean — even when the truth wreaks havoc on guarded love and brittle dreams.

Besserwisser (German for “upstart know-it-alls”) offers dark humor, a rowdy plot and imposters exposed despite their best efforts. It also comes from the heart, since I once was (really was) a Fulbright Research Fellow in Munich.

Look Away Silence – A Beautifully Written Novel

Rating: 5 of 5, TMBOA Recommended

Author: Edward C. Patterson
Available: Paperback, Kindle

Every Christmas, Martin Powers found love.  Unfortunately, it rarely lasted beyond New Years day.  That is, until he met Matthew Kieler – a southern transplant, complete with  cowboy hat, drawl, and enchanting blue eyes.  Theirs was a love that transcended the moment and as time marched on, their love grew deeper and deeper and Martin realized he’d found the love he’d always longed for.  But just when everything seemed it couldn’t be any better, their world was turned upside down as both come face to face with the specter of AIDS.

Look Away Silence by Edward C. Patterson is a beautifully written novel.  Honestly, I’m not sure I can write a review that will do it justice.  As in all of Patterson’s novels, his characters are incredibly well developed.  In Silence the reader is taken on a journey of Martin and Matthew’s romance, from their “meet cute” first encounter in the department store, to the tragedy that befalls them during a family Thanksgiving dinner.  Patterson lovingly describes the very real and conflicting emotions of commitment, hardship, anger, anguish, and love one must manage while watching the person they love slowly die in before their very eyes.

Holding out hope for a cure all the while intellectually knowing it unlikely torments the soul and anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one, especially one stricken by a chronic disease or cancer that robs them slowly of their former self, experiences the very heartache that this book so eloquently conveys.  I remember the 1980s when AIDS was very much a part of everyday discussions and life, but honestly this has not gotten nearly the press it once had and Patterson’s book is a great reminder of a tragic disease that is still in need of a cure.  However, Patterson does not play to politics or get preachy in any way.  This is really a story of Martin and Matthew, of love, of tragedy, of commitment, and of hope.  Few books can touch such a strong emotional chord and I would put Look Away Silence up there with books by Nicholas Sparks such as The Notebook.

Well done Mr. Patterson, well done indeed.
