Malevolence – A Hollywood Mystery by Britt Lind

Rosemaria Baker, dedicated homicide detective, has made a major career change and is now a neophyte prosecutor for the County of Los Angeles. She loves the law, loves justice but the true love of her life is the man she investigated and exonerated of murder two years ago, and now lives with, Josh Sibley.

As Rosemaria moves forward with her new job, Josh is also facing major changes in his life. No longer seeking solace in a bottle and barely eking out a living writing commercial jingles, he now is on the cusp of becoming the successful songwriter and singer he dreamed he would become. World famous singing sensation Joell has recorded one of his songs for a movie and will include it in her upcoming album. He seems destined for fame and financial security. His animal soulmate Noor, a black panther he cared for at the L.A. Zoo, and Gilbert, the mountain lion whom he raised from a cub are safely ensconced in a large, wooded wild cat sanctuary. And yet, his heart aches for Sammy the elephant, still languishing in misery at the zoo.

At the same time, Rosemaria faces incredible challenges as she learns the ropes as a prosecutor, deals with a large case load and a superior who has hated her since she was a cop. He makes it clear that he is dedicated to making sure she fails. Although Rosemaria has always been a multitasker extraordinaire, her abilities to do so are stretched to the limit when a prostitute is found murdered in a Beverly Hills hotel. Then two of the former working girls she rescued from the streets of Hollywood become targets of international assassins and run to Rosemaria for protection. But Rosemaria is not a cop anymore and any investigation she attempts is severely limited and discouraged by her former bosses at the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Rosemaria must arrange protection for the girls, continue working her case load at the courthouse, search for answers to the murder and deal with the coworker who seeks to destroy her career. At the same time, Josh is dealing with impending fame and his secret plans for Sammy the elephant. Through it all, their support for one another is unfailing. When it finally seems that some semblance of order is falling into place, Rosemaria faces an unexpected, terrifying threat and she must depend on those who love her to rescue her from certain death.

It’s 2049, and NASA-sponsored physicist Edward Virr is on the cusp of man’s greatest breakthrough – the ability to fold space and travel faster than light.

He personally tests NASA’s futuristic prototype fold ship with a hand-picked crew. But as disaster strikes the first mission, Ed begins to suspect that he isn’t the only one developing the new technology.

Discovering there’s a lot more at stake than first contact, Ed soon realises that Earth’s very survival depends on his ability to solve a crime of galactic proportions.

Join Edward Virr and his crew as they undertake their first space adventure into the depths of the Milky Way.

The Fold Series: it’s like the love child of The Martian and Red Dwarf – with a pinch of Star Trek thrown in for extra flavour!

Author Bio:
Nick Adams grew up in a small village near Maidstone in Kent, England and right from an early age was a fervent NASA, space and Apollo fan. After watching the first moon landing in 1969 and the subsequent moon missions that followed, he discovered science fiction books and cut his teeth reading Asimov, E. E. Doc Smith and Alan Dean Foster. In more recent times, Andy Weir and Peter F Hamilton to name but two, have joined them on the bookshelves.

After serving in the British Army for several years, Nick became a publican, managing and later owning his own village pubs for a number of years before moving to Brisbane in Australia where he began writing his own space opera, and the Fold series was born.

In late 2018 he returned to the UK, where the next adventures in the series evolved, along with the ‘Bache Loftt’ spin-off series.

Nick writes the kind of stories he would like to read. The Fold Series is set a little in the future and based around upcoming NASA technology. The series features normal everyday people put into extraordinary circumstances, with realistic reactions, humour and language. After all, nobody would say ‘oops’ if a 14km-long alien starship de-cloaked next to them.

Head over to his website to sign up to the Reader Group, and Nick will personally keep you up to date with his bi-monthly newsletters about what novels he’s currently reading, cover reveals, book launch dates and general progress on his current project.

About Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age by William C. Philips

FREE KINDLE EDITION, DECEMBER 2-6
Despite the subtitle, ‘Growing up in the Atomic Age,’ Philips assures readers that the experimental radium doses he received as a child did not contribute to his growth or endow him with any superpowers…yet. 
DUCK & COVER is a time machine to the Atomic Age–the reader experiences the joys, tragedies, fears, and adventures of a Baby Boomer growing up through the 1950s and onwards. But there was a downside–the threat of nuclear war. Without downplaying the seriousness of a possible atomic attack in the ’50s and early ’60s, Philips finds humor in nuclear annihilation in the titular story, “Duck and Cover.” And ultimately, the book is a memoir of not just one person but a generation. Fans of Dave Barry and Garrison Keilor will laugh (and cry) reading this humorous memoir of a bygone era.

Author Bio:
William C. Philips was born just two years after the first atomic bomb test and spent quite a bit of his elementary school time hiding under desks, anticipating the nuclear war that was sure to come. After the "all clear" was sounded, so to speak, and the fear of an atomic war ended, Philips moved on to higher education and received two degrees from the University of Delaware and a doctorate from the University of Maryland. Although teaching was his primary profession, he also worked as a farmhand, adventure tour guide, legislative assistant, and researcher in Antarctica. Some readers may recognize him as the founder and administrator of several Facebook groups, including "Golden Age of Travel 1830-1955" and "Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age."
