OW-BookCover-FINALAbout Onyx Webb:

Onyx Webb is a paranormal suspense (plus a dash of historical fiction) book series. The authors liken the interwoven stories of Onyx Webb to a supernatural soap opera. It’s June, 1980 and piano prodigy, Juniper Cole is on the way to her senior prom. It’s January 2010, and Koda Mulvaney has blown through his 20 million dollar trust fund and is told by his father to return home and go to work. It’s August, 1904 and little Onyx Webb is on her way to the famous World’s Fair in St. Louis with her father, Catfish. Two of the three will see a ghost, one will become a ghost and everyone will learn that life is hard to let go of even when you’re dead.

Broken Ground: An Explosive Account of The Haiti Earthquake by Patrick Doyle  

Broken-Ground-CoverAbout Broken Ground: An Explosive Account of The Haiti Earthquake by Patrick Doyle:

‘Broken Ground’ opens with Patrick Doyle, a former army sniper and UN peacekeeper, working as a care-assistant in an Irish hospital.

One night while caring for an elderly patient, Patrick finds a small advert in a newspaper. The advert states that a security company in Haiti is looking for bodyguards. In a fresh bid for adventure, he leaves behind the hospital to work as a private security operator in Haiti. His new job is to protect high-level executives for a telecoms company in Port au Prince.

By the time he arrives, Haiti has been coined as ‘the kidnap capital of the world’ by the West. Each day Patrick must run missions in and around a city of more than two million people. The work is risky. Armed only with a pistol and a radio, Patrick finds himself working alongside former soldiers of the British Army, The Irish Defence Forces and elite members of the French Foreign Legion. The young Irishman quickly forges strong friendships with many of these men as they work side by side to protect the lives of their clients.

Late one evening, while driving a client home, Patrick gets caught in the crossfire between UN troops and Haitian gangs. Under a barrage of bullets, he leads his client to safety. Ducking through alleyways and hiding out on a nearby rooftop.

Upon completion of his third tour to Haiti, Patrick goes back home to Ireland to join the police force. After six months his career is cut short when he is arrested for a drunken driving offence and is subsequently suspended from training at the police academy.

While still fighting a legal battle to save his law enforcement career, Patrick returns to his private security post in Haiti. By the end of the summer, the country has been ravaged by a series of hurricanes causing widespread damage and claiming thousands of lives. He volunteers to dig out children from the rubble of a collapsed school during this catastrophe.

This event has a profound and lasting impact on his life. He resolves to continue his work in Haiti and abandon all hopes of living a ‘regular’ life in Ireland.

On 12th January 2010 a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake strikes the heart of Port au Prince, killing 300,000 people and destroying half of the city. The Irish bodyguard is catapulted into a gruesome world of death and destruction. Cut off from his friends and having only rescued a female colleague from certain death, the ex-soldier uses his training and skills to get to safety, stay alive and find a way home.

‘Broken Ground’ is a raw, straightforward and sometimes darkly humorous account of Patrick’s life in Haiti. It is a story of love, loss and family while also offering a rare glimpse of life in the middle of a third world disaster zone.

Author Bio:
Right from a very young age Patrick always knew that he wanted to pursue a life packed with adventure.

Having served in the Irish Reserve Defence Forces throughout his time in school, the Irishman went on to enlist in the regular Army and became a professional soldier. After 4 years of service as an Infantryman, UN Peacekeeper and sniper, Patrick left the military behind him in search of more.

His travels took him from labouring on the busy streets of New York City, back packing throughout the Golan Heights and the West Bank to teaching english as a foreign language in China.

Returning home to Ireland, he set about training as a health care attendant and spent the next 2 years working with the sick and the elderly in a local hospital. It was here that Patrick would learn the values of patience, empathy and taking care of those who needed help.

Yet still feeling untested in life, the ex-soldier spent 7 weeks training in Denmark and Bosnia to become a Close Protection Officer. Not long after, the opportunity came for Patrick to put his skills and training to work.

By December 2006 he deployed to Haiti. For the next three and a half years, the Caribbean nation would play an influential part in his life. In that time he would come to see Haiti as more than just an operational environment. It became his home.

5 years on, Haiti still remains close to Patrick’s heart. His experiences throughout his time there, particularly that of the earthquake, led him to writing his first book.

Patrick has spent the last 4 years working as a Maritime Security Officer off of the Somali coastline and helping to ensure the safe passage through the Gulf of Aden for hundreds of merchant sailors.

Now the 34 year old is pursuing his career as a freelance journalist.

Hospital Days – A Memoir by Hudson Owen  

cama2About Hospital Days – A Memoir by Hudson Owen:

During the late Sixties, I worked in a number of hospitals as an aide or orderly. Two of them were world famous: McLean Hospital, Belmont, Massachusetts; and the Massachusetts General Hospital, in downtown Boston. Two were in Toronto. They were my first full time jobs.

I saw incredible things, people and incidents that have stayed with me all these years: the managed blood of surgery, the chaos of emergency, tense moments in a mental ward.

These are human-interest stories, with a smattering of medical terms, where appropriate. It’s about what happened in the hospital and outside the hospital during a turbulent period in history. I learned about life and death in hospitals, which has tempered my understanding of the world ever since. Approximately 17,000 words. I am a published poet and author, produced playwright in New York City, digital artist, and wilderness canoeist.

The Perfect Presctiption: Godly Wisdom on Public Health  

Perfect-Prescription-PhotoAbout The Perfect Presctiption: Godly Wisdom on Public Health:

The book is about disease prevention. Most diseases mankind contends with, whether communicable or non-communicable, are preventable, which makes disease prevention a significant aspect of any health care system, particularly in the face of the rising cost of health care in general. Preventive strategies such as smoking cessation programs or cancer screening programs and vaccinations are cost effective strategies that can significantly optimize health and well-being, and reduce rates of morbidity and mortality rates among the general public. Disease prevention dates way back to Bible times when there were no hospitals as we know them. People then relied mainly on preventive measures to stave off diseases and to enhance individual and community health. The book, The Perfect Prescription: Godly Wisdom on Public Health, highlights the amazing similarities between ancient biblical disease preventive measures and those espoused by modern public health professionals. The book is written from a health perspective not from a theological perspective because I am not a theologian. I am a public health professional. I am interested in optimizing your health and mine. As such, the book advocates preventive health care that can benefit people from all walks of life. We know that microorganisms are oblivious of any religious affiliations and boundaries.

The Pitcher  

ThePitcher_william-Hazelgrove.jpg1About The Pitcher:

Ricky Hernandez, 13, can hurl a 75-miles-per-hour fastball. If only he could get it near the plate. Scraping by with a single mother suffering from lupus, Ricky is determined to show up the rich bullies, the kids who mock his Mexican heritage—all of them. But it seems like a lost cause until he meets his surly hermit neighbor, who just happens to be one-time World Series MVP Jack Langford. Soon a relationship begins between the Hernandezes and Langford, who begrudgingly agrees to give Ricky a few pointers. Mostly, though, he guzzles beer while forcing the kid to do puzzling things like throw stones at trees for weeks on end. It’s a set-up you’ve seen before—bitter, fallen hero taking on his demons via a brash upstart—but Hazelgrove negates cliché by powering straight through it and embracing the classic nature of the tale, which manages to be both modern and timeless. You can taste the ballpark dust, feel the smack of the ball in your glove, and feel assured that, somehow, these three strongly drawn characters will push on to victory. Grades 5-8. –Daniel Kraus

Gibben Nemesio is in trouble.

His parents are dead, his sister is missing, and he’s been left the sole provider for his two younger brothers. With a war brewing in the east and no guarantee of surviving another brutal winter, Gib’s life is plagued by uncertainty. To make matters worse, he suddenly finds himself uprooted from his home and drafted into the army.

Forced to leave his siblings behind, Gib reports to Silver City, where he enrolls in the legendary Academy of Arden. An outsider and misfit, Gib struggles to blend in among the highborn city folk. His charming candor eventually wins him a handful of friends—an enigmatic mage trainee with a secret, a young girl who has defied tradition by joining the military, and a prince looking to escape his stifling, royal life. But his new-found comrades may not be able to help when Gib alone overhears a traitorous plot—a scheme so horrible that if seen to fruition, all of Arden will suffer for it. It’s up to Gib to convince the High Council of Arden to act, to stop the terrible danger, before it’s too late.
