Angelfall by P.A. Western-Pittard
Angelfall by P.A. Western-Pittard
A Hilarious adventure for fans of Terry Pratchett and lovers of quirky fantasy scifi.
What does an Arch Priestess of the War Dragon Temple, a robot with delusions of Godhood, an angel of the apocalypse and a Chosen One all have in common?
Nothing at all. And yet they’re the only ones who can stop the end of the world.
We’re all going to die.
When angels fall from the sky and devastate the Temple-City of Tarn, Julian (a lazy and lowly acolyte) does what no-one else does: survives being hit by one of these celestial beings.
Immediately declared the Chosen One, Julian teams up with the disgraced Arch Priestess of the War Dragon Temple and sets out on a mission to return the angel to Heaven to prevent the Apocalypse.
Which is easier said than done.
Pursued by a religious fanatic and his warbot, Mike, and guided by the ancient wisdom that the way to get to Heaven is to keep going ‘Up’ Julian begins a reluctant quest that eventually leads to the breathtaking discovery of the most ancient secret of the world.
An uproarious adventure comedy involving cars fulfilling their destiny, giant tree-monsters, a robot that thinks he’s God, evil sunflowers and Murder-Death-Squid-Robots, Angelfall is deliciously silly, smart and will have you grinning until the end.

Fortitude
About Fortitude
Fortitude will see you through the darkest times…
It was in April 1898 when I, Claire O’Farrell, made a decision that ultimately changed my life forever.
I had never been one to follow society’s “rules”. My oldest friend was a Creole at a time when that simply wasn’t done. Then, I made an even bolder decision by serving as a nurse for the Buffalo Soldiers during the Spanish-American War. By doing so, it was evident to all that I held little regard for the Jim Crow laws.
My choice of working in that camp hospital put me in immediate danger, but after I gave my heart to one of the soldiers there, I found myself caught in the racial violence besieging the area.
When the consequences of my past decisions followed me home, I had no choice but to cling to my faith and pray that I find the path I was meant to travel.

Promise Unfulfilled: The Brief Life and Bizarre Death of Actor Robert Morris by Vernon Gravely
About Promise Unfulfilled: The Brief Life and Bizarre Death of Actor Robert Morris by Vernon Gravely
A HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY REVEALED AFTER 60 YEARS!!!
Robert Morris should have been a star. He was producer Bert Leonard’s original choice to ride alongside George Maharis in Route 66; however, as the concept for the series evolved, Morris was out and Martin Milner was in. As Maharis and Milner prepared to drive into the annals of television history, Robert Morris relocated from New York to California to boost his career. What initially appeared to be a good move ended in tragedy. Less than a year after moving out west, Robert Morris died under peculiar circumstances at a “health ranch” in southern California at the age of 25.
Promise Unfulfilled: The Brief Life and Bizarre Death of Actor Robert Morris is the portrait of a young man who put his best foot forward to attain the American Dream — only to have tragedy intervene. Read the story as told by those who knew him best — his friends, family and colleagues, including George Maharis (Route 66), Tony Franke (The Blob), Barbara Lord Warburton, Pamela Saunders (Happy Birthday, Wanda June), Susan Quick, Harvey Grossman, Robert Heide and Michael Lindsay-Hogg (The Beatles’ Let It Be), who also provided the Foreword.

Crossing the Color Line: Stanley Ketchel’s Challenge for Jack Johnson’s Heavyweight Crown by Vernon Gravely
About Crossing the Color Line: Stanley Ketchel’s Challenge for Jack Johnson’s Heavyweight Crown by Vernon Gravely
On November 26, 1908, Stanley Ketchel made pugilistic history when he stopped Billy Papke to become the first two-time middleweight champion. Exactly one month later, Jack Johnson also made history when he beat Tommy Burns to become the first black man to wear the heavyweight crown. Immediately following Johnson’s victory, the sporting world began clamoring for someone to win the title back for the white race. Most people turned to Jim Jeffries, the former champion who had retired undefeated in 1905. However, Willis Britt, who had guided his younger brother Jimmy to two lightweight title shots and took Battling Nelson to the top of the lightweight ladder, had another idea: What if the world’s first two-time middleweight champ fought the world’s first black heavyweight champ? All Britt had to do was steal Ketchel away from his manager, line up a series of fights that would have the sporting public take him seriously as a heavyweight contender, then chase Johnson until he agreed to a fight. Impossible? Most sports aficionados thought so. After all, no ordinary manager would be able to pull off such a feat. But, Willis Britt was not an ordinary manager.

At the age of eight, I heard “Day Tripper” and my life was changed. I decided, at that point in time, that when I grew up, I would become a Beatle. I eventually realized that there were only four openings for that profession, and they had all been filled long before I entered this atmosphere. So, as I entered my teens, I turned to writing. After getting a Master’s degree in English, I taught writing for several years. When the pandemic hit, and I became unemployed, I started writing again for my own pleasure. I cranked out one book (Promise Unfulfilled: The Brief Life and Bizarre Death of Actor Robert Morris), published in July 2020, and now I have cranked out another. This one is about a couple of boxers who fought each other in 1909. I have also dabbled in documentary filmmaking; I wrote, produced and directed Death of a Champion, Birth of a Rule: The Tony Marino Story, about the bantamweight champion whose death in 1937 resulted in the creation of the three-knockdown rule in the sport of boxing.

She absconds Texas for a temporary duty assignment in Florida to cope better with familial losses.

Bryan Terrell Russell has been a lone detective with local law enforcement since the resignation of his career-long partner. Accustomed to come, go, and do as he please, the assignment of a new partner is not only inconvenient for him, but also uncomfortable. Torn between the desire to be right and the obligation to do the right thing, Bryan must strategically balance personal sacrifices and professional gains.
Together they must rise above their differences to halt a sadistic sex offender.

The Game of Leela: Sacred Path to Eternity by John J Pietrangelo
About The Game of Leela: Sacred Path to Eternity by John J Pietrangelo
THE GAME OF LEELA
WRITER: John J Pietrangelo / Phone: (520) 647-4637 / EMAIL: ANAMI@CENTURYLINK.NET
LOG LINE: Father Ambrose, a young priest from America, goes to the Vatican to help an ill participant attending the Papal Conclave of Cardinals after the reigning Pope suddenly dies. A stunning vision seen by members of the Conclave compels them to vote Father Ambrose as the next Pope, not knowing his destiny will fulfill a Medieval prophecy, changing the Catholic Church’s earthly mission forever.
SUMMARY: Clairvaux, France 1148 CE – Saint Malachy is dying and utters the prophecy:
“Before the end, trickery will abide, for the two shall serve as one in preparation of the final judgment: the one, named in honor of the olive branch; and the second, extender of the olive branch in feigned capitulation unto the wide world. Thus, the two will count as one in the succession of popes. Following these two, the last in line, Petrus Romanus, shall, indeed, be the savior of Holy Mother Church.”
Modern day, Brooklyn, New York – Twin brothers, Peter and Paul D’Alessio Romano are born into an Italian immigrant family. As young men, Peter chooses the vocation of a parish priest, while Paul is drawn to unraveling the archaeological mysteries of the past.
The Catholic world is in shock after the reigning Pope has died suddenly from a fatal gunshot wound. All Cardinals worldwide gather in Rome to attend a Papal Conclave committed to electing a new Pontiff. Peter, now Father Ambrose, is called to the Vatican to be an assistant to an aged and ill participant. The Conclave is stalemated in its attempts to elect the next pope. The Cardinals are stunned to witness a scintillating glow emanating from the young, unknown priest from America as he cares for his long-suffering ward. Moved by the Holy Spirit, they break from tradition to elect this humble priest, by acclamation, the next Vicar of Christ.
The newly appointed Pope Peter II is still learning the ways of the threads of power within the church when he is kidnapped by an Islamic terrorist cell. While imprisoned, he finds a common spiritual resonance with one of his captors who later helps him escape. The Pope’s kidnapping is soon discovered to involve some unknown plotters within the Vatican.
Meanwhile Paul, as brother of the Pope and now an accomplished archaeologist, is given access to the most sensitive areas of the Vatican Library’s collections of historical documents. In the vast underground chambers beneath the Vatican he is led to a long-forgotten cache of ancient Aramaic scrolls, and begins the drawn-out process of translating them. Paul urges the new Pope to read and consider what he has found.
“The Revelation of a Living Teacher of Righteousness according to John bar Zebedee. A record of the mysteries vouchsafed unto me by my Master, Rabbi Y’eshua bar Yosuf, that which surely must be recorded for posterity, being Truths not of this world but of a higher order, from the mouth of He who held the keys to our redemption and emancipation. This is my testimony written down for me by my amanuensis, Prochorus….If the whole of the earth were my paper, and the multitude of trees my pen, and the copious seas of the earth my ink, they would be insufficient to write the Glory of a Living Teacher of Righteousness. But blessed is he who reads the insufficient words of my testimony, and keeps those things which are written herein close to their hearts.”
While the Pope’s most trusted confidants work to identify the Vatican plotters, Pope Peter feels compelled to explore the common spiritual roots that undergird all Western religions. Paul continues to find more scrolls containing the original precepts of the Teacher of Righteousness that reveal the true path the soul must take to achieve reunion with the Creator. Paul helps his brother to see that these long-hidden revelations of an internal path to God were suppressed by the Church in favor of a politically controllable, externally dependent path to salvation.
Pope Peter continues his internal investigations into the inner workings of the Vatican Bank and other powerful institutions within the highest echelons of the Church. In a desperate attempt to stop him from uncovering their corruption and stripping them of their long-standing secular powers, the plotters are successful in poisoning the Pope.
The Pope survives and the plotters, mostly Cardinals governing the Roman Curia are identified and imprisoned. A fire mysteriously breaks out in the medieval prison in which they are confined. A perpetrator’s deathbed confession deepens Pope Peter’s growing disillusionment with the Church, and its capricious earthly mission. In search of answers, he returns to the study of the scrolls. Within a short period of time, the inkling of an improbable concept for the rebirth of the original precepts of the Teacher of Righteousness begins to take shape.
Seeking a spiritual retreat, he escapes from the Vatican and makes his way to Patmos, a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea, to contemplate his world-changing ideas. While there, he experiences mystical visions of ancient spiritual teachers which compel him to conclude that the Church has corrupted its mission of spiritual enlightenment and salvation, and that it must return to its original roots.
In what will be his final address from the famed Vatican Balcony, Pope Peter lays out his vision, his plan to divest the Church of its power, wealth, and control over the people in favor of a rebirth of its mission. As Pope Peter’s words of hope and encouragement for his enlightened vision draw to a close, a blazing meteor shower appears in the heavens, eliciting gasps and cries colored with awe and foreboding from the crowd gathered in the piazza below. Within moments, fear transforms into faith. The people, believing the meteor shower to be a sign from heaven, embrace the Pope’s new vision for the Church, a vision they now accept will free their souls and put their search, their very relationship with God, firmly and potently in their own hands, hearts, and minds.
Abdicating his position as Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, Peter returns to the Island of Patmos and experiences further mystical visions, and receives instruction from a spiritual teacher he was first visited by in his youth. These deeply haunting experiences confirm his conclusion that the Church’s focus on power and control had corrupted its mission of spiritual enlightenment and salvation. He becomes resolute that his decision to recreate the Church by stripping away its secular powers was justified.
Now, realizing that the ancient prophecy of Saint Malachy had effectively been fulfilled, the former Pope, Peter Ambrose D’Alessio Romano, retreats into secular life, singularly devoted to his personal pursuit of inner enlightenment and divine discovery. His brother, Paul, continues his work with the newly created foundation to help people discover the way to enlightenment as it was originally told to John bar Zebedee by Rabbi Y’eshua bar Yosuf… and written down by his amanuensis, Prochorus, in the ancient scrolls as the Divine set of rules for the Game of Leela, the mystical journey back to one’s spiritual home.

About Chapters by Michael J. Rice
Have you ever felt stuck?
Like there must be something more, better, than what I am experiencing right now? You know there is something better for you, but it just seems like there are things happening or that have happened to you that is preventing you from getting “there”.
The chapters of our life have been ordained to occur in an orderly fashion, but they rarely do. We often get stuck between or within chapters and our lives become stale or worse.
Being stuck is miserable. Miserable for us and miserable for those who have to deal with us. Being stuck is dangerous and can literally make us sick. Sick of our job, family, marriage, sick of life. People often do stupid things when they are stuck, which usually just makes them more stuck. Like flailing in the midst of quicksand we are placated by the struggle but seem oblivious to the reality we are only getting more stuck.
Can this book help you?
Not in the usual sense of a self-help book where the author tells the reader what to do and success is dependent upon the reader properly carrying out those directives. If the step-by-step self-help books worked, then why are so many new ones being written every year?
Besides if we could self-help would we still be stuck?
This book was written in the solitude of nature, in my truck, in my bedroom, or the quiet noise of a nearby coffee shop. This book is about life, and it was written while life was ever-present. Much of it is written while fasting to most clearly hear from God.
Hemingway has been quoted as saying there is nothing to writing, just sit down at your typewriter and bleed. That seems dramatic but I kind of understand. This book has been in the works for years, in fact, most of my life. I am not sure if I am writing this book or God is writing it through me. Something beyond me has unfailingly compelled me forward. My hesitation to write is found in the fact that many smart and gifted people have written books, I am neither. After all that has been written what could I possibly add? Seriously, I am nobody. Besides, I can be lazy, and writing is work.
And yet God would not let me avoid it.
As I have written these truths I have laughed, winced, and even cried when I thought of the experiences I had so I could learn these truths and prayed from my heart that you would know his heart for you in whatever you face.
