Navy One by Pedro Vasquez
About Navy One by Pedro Vasquez
Making good on a promise, US President Margaret Benson, along with her husband and her son, embarks aboard a US Navy carrier on what should be an uneventful, two-and-a-half-day trip from Hawaii to California. A few hours into the trip, terrorists take control of the nuclear-powered ship after overwhelming its crew and the President’s secret service agents.
Outgunned, outnumbered, and with her husband already in the hands of the hijackers, President Benson must not only evade capture while trying to contact the White House, but she must also locate her son inside the massive ship before the hijackers do.
Back at the White House the Vice-President hastily puts together a plan to disable the carrier -a plan that fails.
The Vice-President advises a preemptive strike against a suspected nation. Wanting to appear tough in the middle of a reelection campaign, the President authorizes the strike -despite her own misgivings.
With strategic bombers set to erase the suspected country off the face of the earth, and with time running out, the President realizes she’s on her own. She must find the means within herself to outwit the terrorists, save her family, and the United States of America.
However, all is not as it seems…
The President must trust her own instincts and overcome a lack of trust in her-so-far-unreliable son. He might be the only help she gets in preventing World War III.

About Somewhere Between Black and White by Shelly Hickman
When approaching life’s problems, Sophie sees in black and white. That is, when they’re someone else’s problems. So when it comes to her sister, Sophie is sure she has all the answers, and offers them without hesitation. If only her sister would listen.
Then, through a series of chance encounters, she meets Sam, who is witty, kind, and downright unflappable. Sophie has the overwhelming sense that she’s known him before, and as a relationship builds between them, odd visions invade her mind. Though she tries to dismiss them, their persistence will not allow it.
As someone who is quick to judge others, she is intrigued by Sam’s ability to accept people as they are. She begins to see him as a role model, but try as she may, his accepting nature is difficult to emulate.
Will Sophie ever be able to put her hasty judgments aside and realize not every problem has a simple solution?

Author Bio:
Evan is an author and business owner with experience in the technology sector. With an extensive background in corporate finance and business evaluation, and as a passionate contributor to technology startups, he’s a self-proclaimed “business nerd.”
Evan’s also a spirited writer who contributes nonfiction business articles to various online publications and pens full-length novels found on Amazon and other leading retailers. Each piece of writing, whether it be a one-page finance article or a 300-page fiction story, is meant to provide readers with lasting enjoyments and actionable takeaways that (hopefully) better their lives and encourage them to act.
Because ultimately, the key to true happiness is self-improvement through positive experiences, and all of Evan’s works seek to accelerate that self-improvement and spread those positive experiences. Some of his ideas explore the social environment on the macro level, some of his ideas explore the transformative power of personal growth on the micro level – while most of them probably fall somewhere in between. But everything is written to inspire people to shift the way they think; it may not be a big shift, but it will always be a positive one.
Claire Daly: Reluctant Soul Saver
About Claire Daly: Reluctant Soul Saver:
When seventeen year-old librarian wannabe Claire Daly is dragged kicking, screaming and cursing from everything she loves—her mam, her cozy Irish village and the dreamy boy next door—to take up arms in the battle of good versus evil, she learns the hard way that sometimes you don’t get to choose your own destiny, destiny chooses you.
Claire’s life plan is simple: head off to university to get her degree in library studies, summon up the courage to tell her best friend Chas that she loves him and live happily ever after. She never once entertained the idea that she might possess divine powers, that she might be predestined to battle Hell’s demons, or, to complicate matters further, that another love of many lives past might turn up on her doorstep. But life doesn’t always go as planned, and when a co-worker is viciously attacked by a demon and her own family threatened, Claire must face the truth: she is called to a higher purpose and has no choice but to answer. Claire sets aside her dreams and begins learning how to deal with the Unholy once and for all. Armed with only a crash course in soul saving and her wits, she gears up for the ultimate show down in Hell. But will it be enough?

The Rat and the Crane
London, 1560.
As the madness of the Dark Ages sweeps across Europa, a young queen assumes the throne in England. Elizabeth has a bright future but a dark secret, one which threatens to twist her country down an unexpected path.
Gregory Crane – rogue Jesuit, Englishman-in-exile, and agent of the secretive Consortium – is cursed with a past he can’t forget and debts his masters won’t forgive. When his adoptive father is killed while investigating accusations of sorcery against Queen Elizabeth, Crane is dispatched to London to set things right. London, where his inglorious career began …
But he discovers more than Arthurian fanatics, more than honey-leaking assassins, more than the clock-and-clay Elizabeth someone’s building under Blackfriars. From deep within London’s ragstone heart, Crane will rescue the Rat Faerie’s Daughter, a wry survivor of his stolen childhood. In the hobgoblin’s dark eyes lies something beyond the outermost reach of even his Divine Calculus.

The Ark
In the not too distant future, technology has developed to the point where a person can be placed in a Sleep State, which is a cross between suspended animation and a drug induced coma. Theoretically a person can be put to sleep for any length of time and age only a couple of days for each year that they are asleep.
At about the same time that the longest sleep trial to date is being completed, it is discovered that there is a very unusual comet approaching Earth and almost everyone will be killed by the unusual radiation that it carries.
Immediately, our government proceeds, to build a sleeper facility large enough to hold as many specially trained men and women as possible.
During the preparations the government must finish the facility, select the team of sleepers, and at times take drastic steps to maintain secrecy.
A time is pre-set to awaken the sleeper team, but, upon awakening, they learn that things have gone wrong. They now must find ways to carry out their mission in the new and strange world in which they find themselves.

The Perfect Tear
THE PERFECT TEAR SYNOPSIS:
First she loses her parents, and then she loses everything else.
Eleanor, a timid orphan, has no clue to her real purpose, but she also has no desire to become a subservient old maid, like the nuns she grew up with. Eleanor believes Edward, the boy she loves, will save her from being forced to take vows. She knows Mother Superior has no intention of letting her leave since her songs are they only thing that can make the barren earth yield enough food to keep those within the abbey walls from starving. Her devastation is complete when she discovers Edward is a prince and heir to the throne, but it is the impetus she needs to leave the safety of the abbey and go in search of her father, the man who seemingly abandoned her ten years before. Edward renounces his crown and begs Eleanor for forgiveness. He will help Eleanor find her father. Together, with Audrey, Eleanor’s best and only friend, little Bella, her pet goat, and Edward’s valet, John, they flee across the sea. They do not get far when Lerion, an inter-dimensional being, attacks their ship, steals Eleanor’s songs and sweeps Eleanor, Audrey and Bella overboard. The girls find themselves in a strange land full of unknown dangers where they are met by an ethereal creature, Tsera, who gives Eleanor a choice. Go home to Edward, never to sing again and wait until her world dies or, risk everything to find The Perfect Tear, a crystal that contains the Third Vibration and the only thing that will stop the destruction of her world. Eleanor is terrified but willing to accept Tsera’s challenge. Eleanor must continually conquer her fear and self-doubt to allow her instincts to help her find the Third Vibration before Lerion does. If her fear subdues her inner knowing, Lerion will use her and her extraordinary gift to destroy all that she loves. Just like the notes of a song must connect to create a perfect melody, Eleanor must discover the connections needed to create the harmony, which will truly save her world.

Author Bio:
Connie Lansberg is a singer/songwriter and now author based in Melbourne Australia. She’s had her original songs placed in some of Australia’s best loved TV shows that play around the world and The Connie Lansberg Quartet is a fixture in the Melbourne jazz scene. Her most recent original musical project, Alone with Bees, performs her songs written especially for The Perfect Tear. This is Connie’s first novel.
She also received several grants from the Victoria Council of the Arts for the development of mobile phone games that she created.
Connie joined the Melbourne Writers Group in 2010 to work on ideas and scripts and during this time the idea for The Perfect Tear began to develop and take shape. She continued her education by taking scriptwriting classes at the Australian Film and Television School in Melbourne and later, worked extensively with Marcy Kennedy on the book. She has two more stories to complete The Perfect Tear Trilogy and is hoping to have the second book finished by 2016.
“The first thing anybody tells you about this business is to say what makes you unique and different, but I couldn’t and the very idea of it never sat well with me and after much deliberation, I finally realized why.
Because, I’m not unique or different–I’m exactly like you and I love that.
We each have a unique filter through which we interpret the world, and with this filter in place, I write stories and songs and you might find them surprising or intriguing or confronting, you may relate or you may not. They may make you laugh and sometimes, even cry.
You may or may not understand what I’m trying to say and you may not understand me, however, rest assured, once we get past the filters, at our core, we are wonderfully and beautifully, exactly the same.”
