About Peacekeeper’s Passage

FREE from Oct 1 through Oct 5!

Hofen is both thrilled and terrified when the peacekeepers’ guild adopts him a year early, but he painfully learns surviving until his thirteenth birthday–when his guild training begins–won’t be easy. Bullied inside and out of the guildhall for being an “outskirts” boy and denied access to the fighting skills a peacekeeper apprentice studies, he must secretly learn to protect himself on his own–even though discovery of his clandestine spying means expulsion.

Fused between rigid traditionalism and inexplicable technology, the Scriptures of Bellisprodus dictate all the rules for this moralistic, guild-based culture. The peacekeepers are sworn to enforce and defend these Scriptures with their lives. So when the peacekeeper masters learn of a plot that threatens the very fabric of their society, Hofen must overcome his fear of losing this new life and home he’s come to love in order to preserve it.

PEACEKEEPER’S PASSAGE is an exciting fantasy tale with a touch of coming-of-age that promises to delight both YA and Adult readers of all ages.

About Riley’s Excellent and not-at-all Fake Exorcism Service

Most people’s in-laws try to make their lives a living hell, but Riley’s literally succeeded. Not only did they decide that selling their souls to demons was a good idea, they included Riley and her husband, Daniel, in the deal as well. Riley’s life wasn’t exactly perfect before, what with her failed writing career and not-so-great marriage. But at least she didn’t have to worry about creepy demons trying to snatch her body!

If it wasn’t for the help of a demon named Thomas, she probably (most definitely) would have gotten possessed. Thomas, for reasons unknown, takes a shine to Riley, much to her chagrin. But beggars can’t be choosers, and if Riley has any hope of stopping the demons plot, she has no choice but to accept this most peculiar alliance. Not that Thomas makes it easy, with his constant winking and cheesy smirks.

To defeat the demons, they enlist the help of a priest named Lanh, who suffers from fainting spells, as well as Riley’s instafamous bestie, Andrea. Together, they must work to stop the demon horde from body-snatching everyone and rescue her Daniel-in-distress. . . maybe her in-laws too, but only if they have time.

About Salvaging Truth, Hunters & Seekers, Book 1

The world could be transformed if Riley can only stay alive long enough.

Most parents leave you a house, a car, or money when they die. Riley’s mom left her a treasure hunt with a mysterious payoff. Now everyone seems to want a piece of Riley and her inheritance: the university, the military, mega corporations, and Russian spies.

Riley needs help to solve her mother’s murder, and Dagger Easton’s salvage and investigation company comes to her rescue. Retired SEAL, private eye, and leader of a diving and salvage team, Dagger promises to protect Riley with his life. But as the value of her mother’s research becomes clear, Riley begins to believe there’s no one she can trust—not with her life, her heart, or her mother’s legacy.

A young man, Martin, tells himself this every day as he takes the train to work. The newest teacher at a private Eikaiwa—an English Language school in the secluded Toyama Prefecture of Japan—Martin spends his days wallowing in the bottom rung of a rigid and unforgiving corporate culture. After one particularly bad day at work, Martin has a late-night encounter with Shimodoi, a foul-mouthed teenage store clerk. Soon after, strange things begin occurring, and Martin finds himself at the intersection of the reality he thought he knew, and a supernatural force that he never dared to imagine.

About Cleopatra 54 BC: When Your Father Leaves You The Family Business ~or~ Who Let The Scribes Out? by Marian Marion Kebab

Free Kindle downloads Oct 1-5: first two books of historical romantic-comedy series at the time of young Cleopatra. Not for children, adult themes, nothing graphic.

Cleopatra starts to rule a bankrupt, deeply indebted Egypt, when she’s 15. This is historical fact. The fiction starts with Cleopatra as she tries one scheme after another to dig Egypt out of its financial hole. She romantically bonds two scribes to priestesses to make sure they return to Alexandria after a mission 1000’s of miles away. She gets women in the tax collector’s house to work against him, and deals with foreign soldiers by rewarding Egyptian women to bend Roman loyalties. Anticipating an upcoming civil war, Cleopatra plays both sides of a political game between Pompey and Caesar (leveraging the women in their lives), and covertly attempts to extend her influence behind the scenes in Rome. Between all that, she spends a little too much time obsessing over notes she took from an interview with one of the scribes … stumbling into her own coming-of-age.

See how a woman is trained to snare a husband, without him realizing what’s happening. What kind of dance is it, exactly, that the scribe does to amuse his paramour in her bedroom? What could that scholar have possibly done to get himself banned-for-life from a woman’s temple? Watch how a storytelling Macedonian warrior gets turned into a tongue-tied puppy at first glance of a friendly Kushite. Will the Romans ever figure out that they’re being manipulated by the entire female population of Alexandria? What are that priestess’ OTHER tattoos?

It’s a world where women call the shots and men do the grunt work. Star-crossed, separated, reunited, desired … people are just people, not puffed-up pompous elitist upstairs/downstairs snobs. They’re more like the knuckleheads that live in your neighborhood.

It’s a story about how people deal with unexpected situations and unintended consequences, and how sometimes the heart just wants what the heart wants.

This is the historical setting …

In 54 BC, Egypt is in its death throes (5 years before Caesar steps foot in Egypt, 13 years before Antony) … the latest of many rise-and-falls due to its last nine Ptolemies. The first three were the empire builders: once Alexander the Great chased out the Persians, Ptolemies I, II, and IIII expanded the Egyptian empire and stuffed its treasury to bursting. The remaining Ptolemies from IV through XII, just spent the money like it had no end … which of course, was a mistake. To make matters worse, with no funds left in Egypt, Ptolemy XII borrowed enormous amounts of cash from Roman moneylenders, for bribes to put himself back on the throne … twice.

This is the empire Cleopatra begins to rule without a formal title: bankrupt and under crippling debt. Now that her dad has secured the empire as a “good friend” of Rome, he’s done … and retires from political life to relax and only participate in pleasant religious activities. As a side effect of Ptolemy’s shenanigans, Cleopatra also has to deal with an embezzling Roman tax collector and pay the salaries and expenses of 2500 Romans stationed in Alexandria. She needs gold … and lots of it.

I'm not very savvy about the social part of the internet.  That's why I don't have Facebook or Twitter … or anything else.  I'm nervous about the stories I've heard of trolling, and shaming, and blocking.  I don't like the idea of being censored.  If you don't like what I have to say, no one requires you to come to my site.

On the bright side I am familiar with internet research.  Ten years ago, I couldn't have written my books.  They may seem like complete fluff, but I've researched personalities, events, and cultures in libraries all over the world.  Libraries in Salamanca, Spain have many Latin and Greek copies of books like Galen's that you can read online.  The Vatican has many original documents digitized and easily accessible.  The German library system has many books available online, so do British libraries.  I've barely touched the papyrus repositories which are coming online as well.  Anyone can access this information … and Google Translate works great on modern languages.

The "devil is in the details," and I work hard to make sure the details in my canvas of Ptolemaic Egypt are correct … or at least "reasonable".

About Empty Me Out (The Liquid Series Book 1) by S. A. Healey

Straight-laced Kelsey loathes the college party scene. But one night, under rather unpleasant circumstances, she meets Mark and finds herself falling for him despite his involvement in the very lifestyle she so vehemently despises. While wrestling her own personal demons, Kelsey’s capacity for forgiveness is tested — repeatedly — as Mark plunges in and out of the treacherous waters of denial and unpredictability. In time, she begins to question whether his behavior is just typical of someone living the “college experience,” or if perhaps a deeper problem exists that she is not equipped to handle. Will love see them through to calmer shores? Or will their fractured fairytale ultimately leave them feeling empty?

About ‘What Made My Family Ill? And Healing Through Self Love’ by Sarah M.MacVicar

This book explores what mental health professionals are increasingly coming to describe as Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( C- PTSD). As the youngest in a farming family of 10 in Cape Breton NS, Sarah intuitively sensed that all was not right during her childhood. In a busy family where there was little nurturing, affection, praise or support, she neither understood her fears nor had she any awareness or help in learning how to allay them. Despite a strong work ethic and a thriving career as an adult, Sarah experienced difficulties with interpersonal relationships and addiction, and found herself struggling to maintain a façade of normalcy despite the turbulence inside.
