About Mistake Creek by Rachel Amphlett

Was $3.99, now 99c September 1-6, 2015:

” 5 stars – this book was highly addictive. A thrilling suspense/mystery novel that you’ll not want to put down until you reach the end” ~ Goodreads

There’s a storm coming…

When Nina O’Brien returns to the small town of Mistake Creek after ten years, she’s in a race against time to protect her father’s business from an incoming storm so it can be sold to pay for his urgent medical treatment.

As flood warnings echo over the radio and the storm breaks with enormous force across the tiny Californian community, Nina is joined by others seeking shelter from the onslaught.

Her life is changed forever when a stranger appears at her door, bloodied and incoherent.

With a ruthless killer exposed among the small group, Nina is thrust into a deadly conspiracy involving a military veteran seeking revenge and an FBI agent desperate to prevent a catastrophic terrorism threat.

Alone, with no means to raise the alarm, Nina realises that to save one man, she must learn to trust another.

Jersey Justice by Vinnie Sorce  

JerseyJusticeAbout Jersey Justice by Vinnie Sorce:

That night—I still have nightmares. It happened so quickly, so effortlessly. Walking to our cars in the far parking lot one fall night, we were jumped from behind. Eric hit the pavement quickly with a gash on his head. Blood trickled down his ear and he was dazed. I looked up to see the attackers. One was a large Puerto Rican kid, over six feet tall, who had hit Eric on the head with a piece of pipe. Even in the chilly air, he was wearing only a black muscle t-shirt and jeans. An American flag bandana covered his head and a diamond stud decorated his left ear. A snake tattoo on his right arm completed the picture. His accomplice was an overweight black man of medium height with no distinguishing features. He wore a Yankees cap and a black leather jacket. His pants were riding low, and his boxers showed in the rear. I didn’t know what kind it was, but a gun of some sort was stuck in his waistband.
As they came at me, I just stood there, frozen. I wasn’t terrified like I thought I should be. My breathing was calm and easy, my eyes focused on the six-footer first.
I was angry.
I was sick and tired of the world being this way for me, and for others like me. It had finally become time to fight back. The attacker raised his club, but he was too slow. I kicked him in the knee and heard a loud pop just before he let out an ear-piercing scream and fell hard to the ground.
I grabbed for the club and gave his buddy some unexpected dental work before he could even reach for his piece. He dropped to his knees and then fell face first to the pavement unconscious.
I felt under Tubbo and removed his weapon. I’d never held a gun before. It molded to my hand like it had always belonged there. Suddenly—I felt like I should never be without it again. The feeling was overwhelming and calming at the same time.
Without thinking twice, I stepped behind my unconscious mugger and fired two shots into the back of his head. It was easy, no remorse at all. I couldn’t believe how simple it was. The Puerto Rican kid tried to get up and run on his shattered knee after he saw this, his eyes wild with fear. He didn’t get far. Two shots to the back of his head made it a very short trip.
What had I done?
******************************************
My name is Jimmy Vincent; I “fix” things. Some people think I’m in the Mafia; I’m not. Some people think I’m a hit man; I’m not. Some people think I’m crazy.
They’re right.
I live in Jersey. I was brought up on a strict diet of sarcasm, bullies, and being a disappointment to my father.
I help people who can’t help themselves. I’ve turned my bullied past into a one-man private army of retribution for the silent majority, too afraid to speak.
A scumbag I helped put away eight years ago has come home to roost and to take me down for revenge. To complicate matters my baby sister, Carmen, unwittingly got involved by marrying (her fifth time) into the problem and not knowing her new husband was a Miami drug lord who she stole ten million dollars from. Oh, and she shot his brother. Double oh, she brought the money, and the gun to me. Did I mention she was blonde?
My dearest childhood friend Marci has been by my side since 7th grade. Until now, we’ve always remained just friends, but one small slip (translated: we hit the sheets) during the chaotic events following Carmen’s return changed the rules. Had I fallen in love with her while I wasn’t looking? If that was the case I’d have to stop almost getting her killed so often.
I have to save my sister, save me and possibly save a new relationship.
What the hell, it’s just another day in Jersey.

I wish I would have paid more attention in school. Writing is easy, punctuation is hard.
Thank God for the computer, now no one has to pay attention in school.

I promise you, you have never read a book like Dead Nolte. My main goal in everything I write is to leave the readers scratching their heads. Not in confusion, but wondering how I made that work.

I’m currently tapping out around 3,000 words a day, writing my third book, (one that makes Dead Nolte seem sane) writing on several blogs and trying something completely different. On my blog, I’m writing a book where readers can watch it happen day by day, one paragraph, page or chapter at a time. At least they get to watch the rough draft unfold. The Blog book is not as crazy as my usual stuff, but it’s harsh and politically incorrect and like everything else I write, there’s a meaning embedded in it. My messages aren’t always good, I’m not a moral compass.

The Flying Kite  

kiteAbout The Flying Kite:

(SHORT STORY) Although I have been loose with the facts and changed names and dates to avoid copyright violation, this story was inspired by actual events. Adjacent to where I work is a basement littered floor to ceiling with “antiques” (aka junk). Among the wreckage is a shelf of National Geographic magazines dating back to 1924. They’re fun to peek through. In one 1970s issue, I read the story of a man who set out to walk from the northernmost foothills of the Andes in South America to the southern tip of Tierra del Fuego. His wife joined him on part of the trip, but died in an accident. The interviewer asked if he intended to continue, and he said yes. Internet searches, trips to the library, and perusals of future issues turned up nothing for me in the way of a followup or resolution to this story. Naturally, as a fiction writer, I took it upon myself to invent the rest of his story.

In my story, he turns up again a dozen years later, crazed but still wandering. Three decades later, another Nat Geo photojournalist finds him in Patagonia and walks with him, trying to establish whether he is a hoaxer or the real thing. Guillermo Faulkner, as I’ve named him, slowly turned from a serious world traveler to a lost troubadour, to an urban legend. As a short story writer, I value brevity. This is the first time I’ve been so taken with an idea that I’ve been tempted to write a novel. Unfortunately, I feel I’ve mastered neither the state of mind nor the state of affairs necessary to dive wholeheartedly into that effort. So I sought out a way to tell the story briefly. Thus the twist: A man walks into a bar claiming that this urban legend is real. The entire story is told as a story within a story, and the dramatic tension comes from the question: Can this man, this americano, be trusted?

CoverJuly070715-smAbout Self-Defense Survival Guide: How To Survive When You’re Fighting For Your Life:

The Self-Defense Survival Guide will boost your confidence, reduce your worry and stress, and allow you to enjoy a better quality of life through a greater sense of personal security. Featuring over 200 high-quality color photos, detailed step-by-step instructions and an online video companion, you can now learn how to effectively escape, block, strike, trip and throw your attacker – regardless of your prior experience.

Gain the skills, confidence and proper “warrior mindset” that will allow you to survive and keep yourself and your family safe from harm when faced with the unthinkable. Instantly learn from this comprehensive guide how to prepare yourself both physically and mentally in order to know what it takes to survive when your life depends on it! Your personal safety and the safety of your family is one of the most important responsibilities you have.

In order to protect yourself and your loved ones, you need 3 main things:

1. the right knowledge
2. the right mindset
3. the right skills

This book condenses Master Pete Canavan’s 20+ years of experience teaching martial arts and reality-based self-defense classes into a simple, practical self-defense guide that can be used by anyone – from regular people with zero prior knowledge to law enforcement and military professionals.

This guide will teach you the following:

-Identifying The Threats You May Face
-Discussing The Physical Positions You May Be Attacked In
-Defining Your Body’s Natural Weapons That Are Always With You
-How To Properly Strike and Kick Using Your Body’s Natural Weapons
-How To Escape A Variety of Holds and Chokes
-How To Trip and Throw Your Attacker From Different Physical Positions
-What The Most Effective Targets To Strike Are
-What Everyday Carry Items Are Best Suited For Self-Defense
-How To Develop The “Warrior Mindset” So You Are Prepared For Fighting
-And Much More!

You will learn how to use simple, effective and natural body motions in a hand-to-hand combat survival situation to emerge the victor. Anyone from the novice to the experienced person will gain some measure of knowledge from this book depending upon their prior exposure to this type of content.

In today’s unstable and increasingly violent world, knowing some basic self-defense skills is a must. You never know when violence will erupt around you or to you. It isn’t a matter of if, but when it will occur.

Criminals are criminals all the time, and therefore have a big advantage over you. They are bold, often violent and many times have with little regard for human life. If you fail to act, you may be seriously injured or killed. Don’t be a victim!

How much would you be willing to pay to know exactly what to do when your life or the lives of your family are in danger? Would you be willing to pay a million dollars to save their lives? How about $100,000 or $10,000? No matter what the price, it’s safe to say that you would gladly pay any amount you could if it was to ensure their safety.

Now you can protect yourself, your family, your home, and your way of life…all for less than the cost of today’s lunch or a single self-defense seminar or martial arts class – and you can get started right now without wasting another minute. The detailed descriptions, photos and online videos let you learn at your own pace – and review the material as many times as you need until you are comfortable. It’s like having your own instructor ready to teach you anytime, anywhere.

Your complete satisfaction and safety is our goal, and we offer you a full 60-day money back guarantee. If you feel you are not getting many times the value of your purchase price, we will happily refund your money – no questions asked.

Download the eBook for free on Amazon from 09/01 – 09/04!

Are you paying attention?

There’s something going on that they don’t want you to know about. Everything looks normal on the surface, but something is fundamentally wrong – isn’t it? You can feel it.

The truth is, a massive financial reset is already underway. The 2008 financial crisis that nearly collapsed the global financial system was never fixed; it was papered over. Trillions of dollars have been created out of thin air to accomplish this. The problems are now much larger.

The banks are bigger. The governments are bigger. The debt is bigger. The derivative market is bigger. The leverage is higher. The system is more fragile than ever.

These problems are neglected on your television programming, but they are obvious for those who simply look. We are living with a legacy financial system constructed by 20th century thinking. The rules have changed, but our approach has not.

There will be ten thousand people turning 65 in the United States every single day for the next decade. Each of these people will expect the legacy systems they supported their entire life to now support them.

But there is a problem.

These legacy systems already run deficits, and there are far more people exiting the systems than entering them.

Change is approaching…

Those who recognize the coming reset can position themselves to weather the storm, and thrive in its wake. Those who remain ignorant to what is coming will fall behind.

If you want to understand this budding financial reset and learn specific strategies you can implement to put yourself in a position to thrive then The Individual is Rising may be the most important book you read this year.

This book is not about propagating fear, worry, or doubt; it is about understanding followed by action. It is about implementing anti-fragile strategies to weather the macroeconomic storm created by the central bank/national government alliance. It is about fundamentally challenging the conventional wisdom of the status quo. It is about creating a future based on individual self-empowerment.

Are you watching?

Author Bio:
Joe Withrow is just an average, hardworking American who did everything by the ‘American Dream’ handbook.

He took advanced classes in a public high school and graduated with good grades. He then went on to earn a finance degree from a public university.

Upon graduation, Joe moved to a metropolitan city and played the corporate game, working for two different mega banks and earning several minor promotions/pay raises/bonuses for his efforts.

Joe bought a starter home, met his wife, and settled down to live the American Dream – just as he had been “educated” to do. He contributed the match rate to his 401(k) and he maxed out his contributions to a traditional IRA – just as he had been “educated” to do.

Joe was doing everything the “right” way and a storybook life appeared to be unfolding before him.

But then something strange happened.

Joe started to see that the rat-race had no light at the end of the tunnel and no rewards worth reaping.

So Joe started to do a lot of independent research and he started to do a lot of introspective examination. He quickly came to the realization that he had to build a more self-reliant lifestyle if he wanted to have a chance to create a Mindful life for himself and his family. So Joe ended his career in corporate America, sold his home, liquidated his government-approved retirement accounts, and moved to a rural area up in the mountains to begin the next chapter.

Joe has since been working to gradually make his small homestead as resilient as possible while also capitalizing an Infinite Banking insurance policy (IBC) and minding his asset allocation model in an effort to prepare for the “Great Reset”

ShellShockedAbout Shell Shocked by Barnaby Yard:

Spencer Blake knows there is something wrong with the world. Things are changing around him and even throughout history, but he’s the only one who notices.

To add to this, his life is in a rut, consisting of a boring job, reheating old chicken chow mein, and avoiding his deranged ex-girlfriend. One night, after following a strangely dressed man and being knocked out, he is paid a visit by the mysterious Mr Spangler who offers him a new job, and the chance to discover the answers to his questions.

There’s just one problem…

The answers come with the knowledge that all of reality is going to be destroyed, unless Spencer and his new found friends can stop the shadowy figures who are causing the changes in their attempt to gain power throughout the multiverse.

All he has to do is travel through alternate universes, drink potent alcoholic beverages, look after a tortoise, oh and save the world.

COVER3About Go Reassured:

Go Reassured is set in the foothills of the Pyrenees in modern day France. The story takes place over several days in early spring.
Philippe Navarro returns to the village for his father’s funeral, loyal hound Cono at his side.

Navarro is drawn back into village life, coming into contact with former friends and adversaries alike, but, when attacked by men under the command of local miscreant Daniel Guérin, he kills a man. It is only after Navarro has been coerced by the local police captain into infiltrating Daniel’s operation that he realises he has murdered a police officer.
At the same time, revelations regarding his father’s life, and death, start to expose the lies of an old friend while further pushing Iris, a former lover, from Navarro’s life.

Navarro manipulates the circumstances surrounding him, setting the bait to entrap Daniel, expose a police informer and maybe even clear a path for his future.

You can resubmit it and click the payment process over again or send me an email vinny@awesomegang.com with the url for the book and I will send a Paypal invoice. 
If you are a struggling author and want to learn how to do social media better click on our Social Media for authors page.
