Cobra Flight (A High Arctic Thriller Book 1) by Rick Grant  

About Cobra Flight (A High Arctic Thriller Book 1) by Rick Grant

The High Arctic. Mid-Winter

Jack Standish, former fighter pilot and now just a freelance bush pilot on the ragged edges of aviation, flies a strange team of scientists to a remote island near Greenland.

Discovering that an old pilot friend is a hostage, under threat of death to fly an obsolete but still lethal supersonic fighter, Standish rescues Phillip Tonquay and tries to escape across the Arctic Ocean in a wild flight for freedom.

It all goes wrong. The two end up at the center of an elaborate plot to destabilize both the United States and Russia at the risk of thermonuclear war.

Ripping at supersonic speeds over the High Arctic; Jack and Phillip fight to outwit the ruthless woman at the heart of the threat.

Cobra Flight is the first of a series of aviation related adventures that mix in deep with the black world of international intelligence and the struggle for world domination.

Author Bio:
Starting with the Great Famine of Ethiopia I have traveled from War Zone to Disaster Area and back as a journalist and then as a consultant specializing in communications with local peoples, journalists, relief organizations, and governments. There are very few wars and disasters in the last couple of decades that I haven’t suffered through.

About the only war I seem to have missed since the late eighties has been the hell that was Rwanda and I am heartily glad of it.

I also have a strong background in North American and Arctic Circumpolar Aboriginal issues.

Before becoming a journalist, and now consultant, I was a pilot working mainly in Canada’s Arctic regions and I keep up aviation as a hobby. Cobra Flight is heavily influenced by my background. The High Arctic is rich with stories, legends, and real events that reflect the quiet and intense struggle by nations intent on controlling the region. Some of the anecdotes and tales contained in Cobra Flight were classified but are now part of the lore of the pilot’s north.

I am a British and Canadian citizen living at the moment in Calgary Alberta where I provide strategic communications advice involving Aboriginal and Government issues to energy corporations.

I have raised and worked Border Collies all my life but my current one, Tess, is easily the best sheep dog I have ever had, which is saying something considering the quality of the other dogs.

The Nightmare Room  

About The Nightmare Room

A boy in a basement, a man in a booth and a darkness that threatens to swallow them both…

New York audiobook narrator Peter Larson and his wife Hannah head to his hometown of Maple City to help Peter’s ailing father and to put a recent tragedy behind them. Though the small, Midwestern town seems the idyllic place to start afresh, Peter and Hannah will soon learn that evil currents flow beneath its surface.

They move into an old farmhouse on the outskirts of town—a house purchased by Peter’s father at auction and kept secret until now—and start to settle into their new life.

But as Peter sets up his recording studio in a small basement room, disturbing things begin to occur—mysterious voices haunt audio tracks, malevolent shadows creep about the house. And when an insidious presence emerges from the woodwork, Peter must face old demons in order to save his family and himself.

On Feb 21-23, the Kindle version of THE NIGHTMARE ROOM will be free to download.

One Love: Divine Healing at Open Clinic  

About One Love: Divine Healing at Open Clinic

Imagine standing in divine healing light and knowing, truly knowing, that there is life after life.

When her best friend, Sylvia, was dying of cancer, Ruth had an awakening of latent clairvoyant abilities. She immersed herself in different methods of energetic healing, which forever changed her understanding of life and death. During meditation, she was shown the Threshold between lifetimes, and worked with her Spirit Guides to heal spirits and assist souls struggling to transition after death. Ruth’s memoir lifts the veil on the mysteries of angels, the Divine, and life after life.

Her heartfelt narratives offer detailed accounts of her journey of divine grace, and spirit-to-spirit connection with loved ones still with us and those who have passed on. One Love: Divine Healing at Open Clinic will transform the way you think about life, death, and your soul’s existence here on earth.

Writing has been one of the driving forces in my life- something to look forward to the next day- since I first picked up a pen at age eight. I also enjoy reading and besides trying to catch up on my 1001 books to read before you die list, I like to dive into any non-fiction topic. Especially I read about science- astronomy, geology, medicine and biology. In fact, I am currently pursuing a Biology degree at a California State University. In my downtime I paint, make jewelry, write music, learn new languages and watch comedies online.

HOTEL CONSTELLATION: Notes from America’s Secret War in Laos by David L. Haase  

About HOTEL CONSTELLATION: Notes from America’s Secret War in Laos by David L. Haase

It’s 1970. War rages in Viet Nam, while intense, sometimes violent protests against it rage at home. Impelled to test his courage against that of his WWII hero father, college student David L. Haase arranges to study at the Buddhist University in Saigon. Detained on arrival and quickly deported from Viet-Nam, he searches for a way to get back in.

Instead, he stumbles into the secret CIA war next door in Laos. For the next two years, he witnesses the unraveling of the American politico-military strategy, the decimation of a primitive hill tribe people, and the destruction of a tiny jungle kingdom, all of which he laboriously transcribes in limp, lined school notebooks each day. Those handwritten notes became this memoir of a young innocent abroad growing older and cynical.

About The Unfortunate Expiration of Mr. David S. Sparks by William F. Aicher

Who is David S. Sparks? Where is David S. Sparks? When is David S. Sparks?

Following The Class Wars and The Chemical Wars, nature reclaims humanity’s infrastructure. While most of mankind ekes out an existence in quarantined cities perched off the mainland, small pockets of survivalists erect their colonies within old city sites.

David S. Sparks awakens into the chaos of this future world, unsure of his place in a reality wildly different than where he thinks he belongs. As the desire to retake the planet swells, so too does the question of how. Will the same mistakes be repeated? Can technology beat nature, or is it time for another approach? And what is David Sparks’s role in all of it?

Dive into a wild, mind-bending journey as one man chases the ultimate question of self, discovering things are not always what they seem, and that closing your eyes can bring a whole new world into view.

On Virtue by J.C. Augustus Lai Andurin  

About On Virtue by J.C. Augustus Lai Andurin

We are as we choose to be. This simple truth resonates throughout On Virtue, the debut title of author and philosopher J.C. Augustus Lai Andurin. Drawing on historical figures and real world analogies to the many questions we face today, Lai Andurin pushes destiny aside to confront the core issues that stand in the way of realizing our dreams and living well. This humanistic affirmation of self-worth is the first of many steps on the path to an enlightened existence.

More than simply philosophy for its own sake, On Virtue embodies practical, meaningful dialogue between the author and the reader by way of storytelling and reflection. Each chapter has at its heart a central ethical theme, carefully framed to be accessible for readers of all faiths and backgrounds. From the first page to the very last, Lai Andurin delivers each lesson with casual gentility and the confidence to inspire others to take the reins and chart a course for greatness.

Pushing Patrick  

About Pushing Patrick

Patrick is every good girl’s dream come true. Funny, sweet and holy-hell hot. He’s the kind of guy who always texts back and chases his neighbor’s dog when it gets loose. He enjoys volunteer work and is involved with his community. He’s loyal to a fault and loves his mom.
Like I said, he’s a good girl’s dream come true.
So what’s the problem?
I’m no one’s idea of a good girl.
Good girl or not, I’ve wanted Patrick as long as I’ve known him, but the night we met, he made it perfectly clear that the feeling isn’t mutual.
So we’re friends. Just friends.
True to form, when my life is suddenly turned upside down, Patrick comes to my rescue and offers me a place to live. How do I repay him? I make a bet with our mutual friend, Tess, to use my new roommate status to get him into my bed, by any means necessary.
She says all Patrick needs is a little push.
The last thing I expected was for him to push back.
