Now a Kindle Daily Deal on March 23 for only $1.99!

After soldiers vacate the Sicilian hillside town of Melilli in the summer of 1943, the locals celebrate, giving thanks to their patron saint, Sebastian. Amid the revelry, all it takes is one fateful moment for the destiny of nine-year-old Salvatore Vassallo to change forever. When his twin brothers are killed playing with an unexploded mortar shell, Salvatore’s faith is destroyed. As the family unravels, and fear ignites among their neighbors that the Vassallo name is cursed, one tragedy begets another.

Desperate to escape this haunting legacy, Salvatore accepts the help of an Italian soldier with fascist ties who ushers him and his sister, Nella, into a new beginning in America. In Middletown, Connecticut, in the immigrant neighborhood known as Little Melilli, these three struggle to build new lives for themselves. But a dangerous choice to keep their secrets hidden erupts in violence decades later. When Salvatore loses his inquisitive American-born son, David, they all learn too late the price sons pay for their fathers’ wars.

Written with elegiac prose, HOW FIRES END delves into the secret wars of men; the sins they cannot bury; and a life lived in fear of who will reveal them, who will survive them, and who will forgive them.

About Fortis Nephilim’s Savior Book 1

Who knew that Nephilims and Fallen Angels were real?

Life as I knew it was unbelievably normal. Until it wasn’t. I had been accepted to the college of my dreams— UCLA. And I’d even met the perfect boy. Not that I was the boy-crazy type… that was my sister. Something about him was different, the attraction was undeniable.

All it took was one harrowing night for everything to change; all my plans and dreams came crashing down. When the dust cleared, I found myself the center of a world where Nephilim and Fallen Angels existed! They had been hiding in plain sight, right here in Los Angeles. Now, I couldn’t believe my new normal, instead of dorms and classes, I had to make life and death decisions. I was torn between both worlds, because both sides wanted me—they claimed that I was the key to winning this war.

But my life wasn’t just about me, and I’d be damned if I’d allow my sister to be dragged into this crazy world. She deserved a life as far away as possible from danger… a danger that started from the moment I met Alec.

Fortis is book one of Nephilim’s Savior trilogy.

About Relentless Love

Gretchen Volmer didn’t come home last night. It’s Sunday morning and her dad has heard nothing from her since she left for the concert the night before. When he learns that her best friend is also missing, and her car has been abandoned in another town, his worry turns to fear.
An Army veteran and former cop, Den Volmer gathers emotional and logistical resources for pursuing his daughter. The police think she might simply be exercising the freedom of a nineteen-year-old. Den knows his girl. Something is wrong. And now he’s in a frantic race to find the abducted girls before they’re dropped into the darkness of the underworld.
For her part, Gretchen knows that her father won’t stop until he finds her. She only has to stay alive and keep her friend Jennica from falling apart. She tries to get Jenn to laugh, and attempts a human connection with her captors, even as she looks for a way to escape.
Inspired by Cory Asbury’s song, “Reckless Love,” this is the story of a father’s unstoppable passion for his daughter. Whatever his flaws, and deficits in skill, nothing is stronger than Den’s unfailing love for his girl.

Author Bio:
As a small boy in Lincoln, Nebraska, I listened enrapt to my grandmother reading me children’s stories, such as The Little Engine That Could. I also recall the elementary school librarian who read us Winnie the Pooh, imitating all the voices. And I remember the first summer I was allowed to ride my bike to the library on my own.

Writing started for me in school. Teachers encouraged me to pursue what they perceived as a gift. For me, my imagination was a challenge as much as a gift. I found the real world so much less enthralling.

In my Christian high school, the English teacher supplied me with unassigned novels. I wrote the senior class play and served as editor of both the yearbook and the school newspaper.

At Houghton College, I majored in writing, including coursework in poetry and fiction. But I also majored in biblical studies and was persuaded to take my writing skills in a more “respectable” direction—academia and nonfiction writing. Remember that less enthralling real world?

When all my academic work led to no great employment breakthrough, I hopped from there onto that rapid conveyor known as the tech industry. Starting in the 1990s, I shaped a new career, eventually starting my own computer consulting firm.

During those years, I focused on raising two boys and cherished the role of doing the bedtime reading, including attempting all the voices in The Chronicles of Narnia series. I also composed a few stories from scratch for my attentive little audience, usually around a campfire.

I started writing again in 2006. Following a friend’s suggestion, I meditated on scripture by imagining myself present on a day when Jesus healed an entire multitude. That meditation turned into my first novel, And He Healed Them All. Closing the gap between the sparse descriptions in the Gospels and what must have been a rich miraculous experience enticed me.

A series of unusual events (ask me someday) prodded me to write my second novel, The Reign: Out of Tribulation. I began self-publishing with those first two books. My third novel, Seeing Jesus, expanded into a series when numerous readers begged me for more. As it turns out, that kind of begging is hard to resist.

In all, I have published fifteen books on Amazon, fourteen of them as installments in one of my series. I am constantly working to improve my skills and to better share my message with the reading public.

Anyone tracking my address could guess that I’ve had some setbacks in my life. But God has stayed the same, even as I evolve and have to start over again.

​Now I am married and living in Vernon Hills, Illinois, attending a vibrant church and meeting new people. I work part-time on my computer consulting business, and I devote much of the rest of my time to writing and marketing my books, with my wife as my highly motivated marketing director.

Love, Simplified : Practical Habits to Creating the Ultimate Loving Relationship by Shmaya David

Love should have been easy enough. All humans are born with the capacity to love, and we all crave it. Yet so many fails at love. Why? Why so many unhappy marriages and divorces? More important – what should one do to beat the statistics and succeed?
This book will give you both answers. In this book you will find a new understanding of what love really is, and a set of practical, simple steps to make love bloom in your life and your relationship, now and forever.

“People tend to think of love as an emotion, and thus not governed by logic and rational choice,” says Shmaya. “This may be true of falling in love, but mature love is more than just an emotion, and it can and should be approached with deliberate thought and purposeful intentions.” This book is all about teaching you how to do that.

About UNCHAINED WORDS

Life gives you surprises, as the song says. It applies in these twenty stories about human relations. The reader will be able to verify it throughout the stories, some of which mutate in unexpected situations. From very realistic stories to oneiric events, they are all connected by the leitmotif of this book.

With an appreciable thematic diversity and sometimes a certain narrative brutality, they can be listed as:

• A company with employees like any other, living situations that seem absurd.
• A boyfriend who mutates more than his messages, throughout the relationship.
• An unexpected call, with an even more unexpected situation.
• A very peculiar plant, with a logical result for it.
• A woman hesitates just at the time of marriage.
• A short story where he shows us what is most valuable to a survivor.
• A couple in which the lack of communication plays havoc.
• A story about that inner voice that makes us be. For better or worse.
• A typical everyday situation that seems endless.
• The time we do not want to give ourselves and its consequences.
• An extreme turn showing disconnection during the exchange of physical words.
• Here the page shows us a very short story; you have to read it like a child.
• A police story based on what we do not speak, with words of caliber.
• Really, a script for the protagonist.
• A story with a tremendous turn in it.
• Brief tribute to my doubly stubborn dog. You will see why.
• A mixture of reality with poetic turns, or at least that was the author’s intention.
• A sad story that we will not understand when we finish reading it but at the end. The meaning of this phrase will become clear to us with its history.
• Who did not shake with two big eyes, in this case is not what it seems either.
• Finally a husband who comes out with a typical excuse and shows us an oneiric reality, leaving us a disturbing sense of reality.
