About The Ericksen Connection by Barry L. Becker by Barry L. Becker

The Ericksen Connection is a spy/action/thriller about betrayal, PTSD, corruption, conspiracy, murder and terrorism. Mark Ericksen, the former Navy SEAL Team Six platoon leader and successful businessman, was all about duty, honor, and country. After the end of his tour with an elite tier-one team from the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) in Afghanistan, the Silver Star recipient resigns his commission on May 10, 2002, and enters civilian life. Over the next seven years he works for three defense contractors, maintaining his top secret security clearance while concealing his PTSD.

In 2009, the CIA receives actionable intel about a wealthy Saudi businessman planning to attack two American cities with enriched nuclear suitcase bombs, as well as shipping an eight-megaton nuclear warhead loaded on a container ship bound for the Port of Los Angeles. The terrorist mastermind needs to acquire several classified biometrics encrypted communications security systems using the palm-vein scanning technology from EyeD4 Systems, a Wilsonville, Oregon company, in order to maintain communications with his sleeper cell operators in the United States.

CIA Director Bill Sullivan meets with Ericksen, the executive vice-president of EyeD4 Systems and task him for Operation Avenging Eagles, to sabotage the terrorist mastermind’s evil plot. Can Ericksen avoid discovery and thwart the nuclear attack before a network of terrorists achieve their horrific plans?

About Dead Man Walking – A Spy Amongst Us by Toby Oliver

The murder of a cabinet minister is always highly suspicious – but when a damning piece of evidence links the victim to Toniolo, a suspected Soviet spy planted in the British government, Superintendent Luke Garvan and Major Spencer Hall know that solving this case is a matter of global importance. As they struggle to unravel the murder from the espionage, Garvan and Hall get caught in an intricate web of anger and deceit. If they can’t separate the petty grievances from the staunch politics, however, they may forever lose the chance to finally unmask Toniolo and secure the government against further Soviet infiltration.

Toby Oliver was born in London, and since 2007 moved to the countryside of West Sussex with his family in England. For thirty years he worked as an Administrator in Central London. His first novel Codename Nicolette is based upon the real-life secret work of MI5’s Double Cross System who were responsible for controlling turned Nazi agents based in Britain during World War II. His other works include Mission Lisbon – The Double Cross, Dead Man Walking – A Spy Amongst Us and The Downing Street Plot – An Agent’s Revenge.

He decided to write books he liked to read: a mixture of crime and espionage stories, coupled with close family connections to the British Army, and his degree in politics, his books about WWI and the Cold War era encompass all of the above. He hopes the reader will be transported back in the dark days of London during WWII, and the work of Scotland Yard and the shadowy world of MI5.

About Wizard Dawning:

Ten years ago the world was shaken with the discovery that White and Black magic existed. Despite the headlines, like most people, nothing magical has happened in Sig’s life.

As he prepares to leave for college, mysterious Great-Grampa Thor shows up with injuries sustained in a battle with a Dark Wizard. He bestows upon Sig, his only male heir, a magical family heirloom.

He’s to lead in the fight against Dark Magic. Unfortunately, Sig can only access a small portion of the talisman’s power. His only magic is the ability to change into a 9 foot tall, 700 pound warrior. It’s small benefit in the age of machinery, rockets, and computers.

He thought the only interesting thing in his life was going to be the beautiful new student who has transferred into his high school. He has taken her under his wing as a lab partner to help catch her up on studies.

To make things more complex, the Dark Wizard comes after Sig. He escapes, but Great-Grampa falls victim to a demon induced coma before he can teach Sig what he needs to know.

Sig joins with a group of fellow supernaturals. His new friends help him fight off more attacks while he searches desperately for his greater magic. If he can’t stand on his own against a Dark Wizard, how can he take his place at the front of the world’s fight against black magic?

The year is 2064, and the rapid advancement of robotic technology has changed society so completely that it dominates everyday life. Using the latest science fiction invention, factories, warehouse and construction sites around the world now consist mainly of a robotic workforce with human employment in the minority. Inside the home, self-aware androids are commonplace, performing the majority of menial tasks.
Quick to capitalise on all of this newfound leisure time, the film and gaming industry now dominates the business sector. The companies that a few years ago were on the verge of bankruptcy have risen like a phoenix, utilising their technological expertise and the plethora of studios and equipment to create a myriad of entertainment options to satisfy everyone.
Because of this, the lives of three different groups of people could not be going any better. They are all happy, successful and currently have all they want in life, but soon all of this will change.
The first is a group of students who are celebrating their graduation with the holiday of a lifetime.
Second is a sheriff and his two deputies who all hail from America’s southern states.
Third is Edward ‘Ted’ Langton, he is second in command at the biggest and most powerful company on Earth.
The lives of these three groups could not be any different or further apart, until a bizarre coincidence connects each one, dragging them into a world of kidnap, slavery, and murder.
As the story unfolds, the need to fulfill man’s darkest desires places millions of lives at risk in order to protect the hidden, seedy underbelly of this futuristic world.

“Do you really want to know what comes next?”

“Are you really sure?”

About Let’s Meet God:

“Can I personally know God?” It’s a big question. In fact, if the answer is, “yes”, then it’s the biggest question that one can ask. In this book, we’ll answer “yes” and take a friendly look at many of the common questions that people have when it comes to God. For example: “Is Jesus the only way to know God and go to Heaven?” “Can’t I get to Heaven by living a good life?” “Will God Really Accept Me?” “How Can I Know God Personally?” Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let’s begin. Let’s meet God.

About The Barcelona Journal Murders:

A tale of crime and mystery. Of love found, love lost and found again.

What’s the story?

Professor C… teaches a photography course at an upper-class, all-women’s
school in Barcelona in the 1900s . A serial killer has the city terrified; elaborately tied prostitutes are turning up in the Barri Gotic, the city’s historical
medieval neighborhood, strangled on days ending in 4. Hired to photograph the
victims, the Professor unwilling finds himself drawn into a treacherous, riddle-filled plot…

When and where?

In this book the reader will be in close touch with a place: a bustling Mediterranean port-city… And a period, the 1900s: that of our forefathers (pre-World War I).

Who is it for?

This is a book of Historical Fiction. Spain is a rich and colorful setting
not yet fully exploited by the genre: there are few books about Spain, fiction
in particular. Richly detailed and exhaustively researched, this work is written
for those who enjoy Edwardian novels. Or perhaps you’re interested in a historical photography book, in the heroic pre-digital days…

…Three things one should attempt to do in a lifetime: plant a tree, have a child and write a book. This statement by J.J. Marti Perez (La Havana 1853-1895) is so popular in Spain it’s become a proverb. It’s the first saying Jonathan remembers hearing when he landed in Barcelona with his Catalan wife a couple of decades ago. And it stuck: He actually did accomplish all three and in the mentioned order.

His first contact with writing came in a round-about way: he was hired as the creative director for an important advertising agency for a number of years, a position that stated out with things visual but rapidly evolved into writing a storyline with a hook. He is currently writing a novel placed in Paris 1960.

American born, he spent his adolescence in Paris (the one in France, not Texas) before deciding to return to the US to study Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design followed by a Masters in Urban Design at Columbia U.

About The Wedding Witch:

Always a witch, never a bride…

A postcard-perfect village. A fairy-tale wedding…and a dead body?

In a town brimming with magic, the sight of a dead body does more than ruffle feathers. Especially for Belinda Bright, Fairyvale’s most sought-after wedding planner. This summer, she’s been tasked with planning “the” event of the year, which means one false move could ruin her business forever.

Unfortunately, when one of the bridesmaids turns up dead a few days before the wedding, Belinda inherits a whole new set of worries—not least of all the dark, handsome gentleman who says all the right things but shows up in all the wrong places.

As rumors fly, wedding jitters flourish, and whispers throughout the town grow louder, Belinda realizes that if she can’t find the murderer before the wedding bells chime, she’ll have a lot more to worry about than which side of the plate gets the soup spoon.

Can Belinda find her happily ever after, or will her fairy tale have a tragic ending?
