The reluctant Observer
Rated 5 Stars by: Red Headed Book Lover
The Reluctant Observer is a read that will keep you engrossed, enthralled and enchanted until the very last page! This incredible piece of fiction is a book that was so phenomenal and addictive that I struggled to put it down…
Before first time homebuyer Larry Malkovich moved into his new home, strange events began to happen. What’s worse, his attempts at a love life have failed and now a ghost tells him he was foretold to be there for the ghost to use in an odd way.
The ghost can’t go into the light or the darkness until his entire life passes before his eyes but something’s missing and Larry must merge spirits with the ghost and go back into the ghost’s past and observe the high points of his life to possibly discover what’s missing.
Larry refuses until a dark spirit invades his sleep and tells him if he doesn’t merge with the ghost, he will suffer the same frightening and dark fate as the ghost.
Larry reluctantly agrees even though all he can do is observe. Forced into becoming a ghost whisperer of sorts, he and the ghost return to the spirit’s past. Larry has no clue that he’s about to witness a remarkable life…the kind of life that could only be lived during the eighteen hundreds.

After I retired from heavy construction, I turned to my desire to write novels. When I’m not at the keyboard, my wife and I are camping by a lake in the summertime, Florida during wintertime and cruising the Caribbean. She reads a lot, does crossword and jigsaw puzzles, plays word games and spoils the grandkids. I fish a lot, take care of the lawn and garden at home and spend as much time as I can helping other members of the family, including in-laws, who I am glad to lend a hand to when they need help. I love to make others laugh and enjoy good company.
I am inspired by my readers, who encourage me to keep writing. I try to answer all the contacts from readers that I can. All of my published work is also available on Kindle.

High Achiever: The Shocking True Story of One Addict’s Double Life by Tiffany Jenkins
About High Achiever: The Shocking True Story of One Addict’s Double Life by Tiffany Jenkins
I wasn’t always a terrible person, in fact, there was a point when I was captain of my high school cheerleading squad, and student body president. So when word got out that I was currently withdrawing from opiates on the floor of a jail cell, people in my town were shocked—to say the least. Not because of the 27 felonies I’d acquired, or the nature of my crimes, but mainly because my boyfriend at the time was a Sheriff Deputy, and his friends – our friends – were the ones who’d arrested me.
I spent 120 days in a jail where every officer knew what I had done to their ‘brother in blue’, and despised me for it. After a few suicide attempts, cavity searches, pillow fights and lesbian love affairs, I made my way to a residential treatment center. It was there that I recounted the harrowing events leading up to my arrest, and eventually began the process of recovering from a life of addiction. Leaving rehab wasn’t the end of my story, instead it was the beginning of a chapter more beautiful and surprising than I could have imagined.
Whether you are currently sitting in jail feeling lost, in a rehabilitation center seeking hope, or struggling to understand a loved one who is suffering from addiction, the debut memoir from the hilarious Tiffany Jenkins, of “Juggling The Jenkins” reads like fiction, and will give you a jaw-dropping, uncensored, and at times humorous look inside the mind of a drug addict.

Fatal Flashback by Tom Berreman
About Fatal Flashback by Tom Berreman
When those profiting from a new migraine medication with the undisclosed side effect of causing enhanced, spontaneous PTSD flashbacks silence a whistleblower, Blake Lawrence must rely on his courtroom skills to uncover how and why the FDA approved the drug.
The answer is not what anyone in the courtroom expects.
Andrew Hayden III is on the verge of vaulting the corporation bearing his name to pharmaceutical industry prominence pending FDA approval of Xyprotaine, a revolutionary migraine medication, when Darnell Young, Hayden Labs’ vice president of research and development, discovers clinical trial notes summarizing potentially catastrophic side effects withheld from the FDA. These notes, suggesting enhanced PTSD flashbacks in patients taking both Xyprotaine and antidepressants, were written by Dr. Reginald Cosgrove, who is pending Senate confirmation as the next Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
Struggling with the loss of significant wealth his stock options could provide, Young takes the high road and vows to keep the drug off the market pending additional clinical trials to address the undisclosed side effects. After sending a whistleblower letter to the FDA he joins forces with Blake Lawrence, his college roommate and a lawyer with Sterling Atwater, to fight powerful forces from both inside and outside the company with significant wealth hinging on Xyprotaine’s approval. These forces will resort to any method necessary, including blackmail, intimidation and murder, to stop anyone standing in the way of its approval.
Hayden succeeds in obtaining FDA approval.
But how? And at what cost?
Tight, focused writing and shocking twists along the way. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys high-stakes drama/thriller with an intelligent and unpredictable plot that feels very authentic and true-to life, and explores the darkest parts of human greed and corruption.

Author Bio:
After spending countless hours in cubicles, offices and conference rooms over the last thirty plus years Tom purchased a small house near the water in Panama City Beach, Florida and shifted his focus to his passion for writing thriller and suspense novels.
Tom was born and raised in the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota. When he was young he was moved by a quote by Mark Twain, and it soon became his mantra:
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the wind in your sails. Explore, dream, discover.”
At 18 he paid $300 for an old International Harvester Metro Delivery van, installed bunks and a heater and lived in it for a winter ski bumming in the Rockies. He spent another winter as a lift operator in Vail, Colorado, a third ski bumming in a slightly newer Dodge van and his summers sailing Minnesota lakes on his Hobie Cat catamaran, all before turning 22. He squeezed in some college coursework at the University of Minnesota as his schedule permitted, driving school bus and tending bar to support himself. But when his mother learned he was a fourth year freshman he succumbed to her “subtle” pressure, set aside his wanderlust and focused on his studies.
Tom earned a BSB in Accounting and an MBA in Finance from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. Following graduation, he joined the audit staff of an international public accounting firm and was awarded his Certified Public Accountant certificate. After seven years in accounting and finance he entered law school in a part-time, evening program while continuing his professional career, earning his JD, magna cum laude, from William Mitchell College of Law in Saint Paul. He spent the next twenty five years in private practice and as corporate counsel for a national Minneapolis bank.

Author Bio:
Stanley Campbell was born in 1978 in Louisville, Kentucky. Raised in a simple suburban home, he and his family often went to church. There, in a small library in the basement, he first discovered his love of reading. Jules Verne, Mark Twain, J.R.R. Tolkien, H.G. Wells and C.S. Lewis spoke to him. They took him to faraway places and adventures under the sea. In school, he excelled academically in Math, Reading and Social Studies. He struggled with Writing due to painful hand cramps. A 5th Grade Social Studies report on the events surrounding the ride of Paul Revere introduced him to his favorite time in history, the 18th century.
At age 19, Stanley married his beautiful wife, Melenia. Capitalizing on a liking for technology, he became a Network Engineer. Over the next decade, he worked for a handful of companies, growing in experience and slowly climbing the business ladder. His ambitions changed in 2006, with the birth of his first son, Jacob. In 2010, with his second son, Caleb, on the way, he decided it was time to start his own business. He felt it would provide him with the opportunity to spend more time with his family. This also prompted him to revisit his desire to write.
While researching his genealogy, he rediscovered his old fascination with the 18th century. His focus upon Scotland, he began to study the period with avid interest. The idea for The Legend of Chip came when a Scottish cousin recounted an ancient myth about a man called Chips and his dealings with the Devil. It was a dark tale, but the premise intrigued him. That night, he sat and wrote the first chapter of what would become his first novel.
Today, Stanley is proud to proclaim that, The Legend of Chip: The Legend Begins, is the first book in a series of novels surrounding the life and adventures of Christopher MacDougall. He thoroughly enjoyed writing the novel and is currently working on the second book of the series. He is also working on other works that encompass the “World of Chip” as well.
