3. THE ESSENE CONSPIRACY

   About THE ESSENE CONSPIRACY:

   A high ranking Israeli minister has been murdered in Jerusalem. Muslim terrorists are suspected, but no group has claimed responsibility.

   Discovering a barely legible name scribbled on a blood-stained business card in the shirt pocket of the slain minister, the Director of Israeli Intelligence calls upon international security consultant Harry McClure to investigate a possible American connection to the brutal crime.

   Follow McClure as he uncovers a Wall Street money-laundering scheme linked to a clandestine Messianic Brotherhood’s plot to reclaim Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

   Writers Digest Review

   The Essene Conspiracy is a fascinating crime/political thriller. The writer brings together characters from Wall Street to Jerusalem, showing his extensive knowledge of cultures, languages, and historical and contemporary political events. The titular conspiracy unravels nicely in the novel. McClure begins the novel with two cases that gradually become intertwined . Short chapters, shifting perspectives , and lean prose help make the plot move along at a good pace while the reader remains engaged in finding out more with each revelation McClure makes . . .

5. If Women Ran The World

   About If Women Ran The World:

   It’s a woman’s world.

   From Juliet Caesar, to Christina Columbus, to Georgina Washington, human history has been dominated by women.

   America hasn’t even seen its first male president yet.

   Traditionally, men ended up as stay-at-home dads, doing the cooking and cleaning while raising children.

   In the modern age, a majority of men have entered the work force only to hit the glass ceiling as administrative assistants and other low level jobs, making seventy-two percent as much money as women do.

   Men seemed to face an uphill battle everywhere they turned.

   But things may be about to change…

   Wow! This is what I found myself repeating to myself while getting lost in this chair gripping book of suspense! Sarah’s book blog

   In four words, A BLOODY GOOD BOOK. Goodreads reviewer

   With a good dose of Alfred Hitchcock thrown in for good measure and maybe a little A. Huxley too. Move over Ludlum and Bagely, now we need some room on the shelf for Muckley. Goodreads reviewer

   If I compared the story to an amusement park ride – it would be a roller coaster! It was suspenseful – full of twists and turns and I loved it! D.S.McKnight, dsmcknight.blogspot.com

   Author Bio:
   I was born in the town of Warwick in 1981. It is a small historical town in the heart of England, and Ι was the fifth child born into a family of boys. I developed a huge interest in the written world from a young age, and with more than a little help from Roald Dahl found quite the taste for anything gross and gory. Book club at primary school only proved to increase my love of escaping into the world of a book.

   Whilst six years at secondary school did little to quell the romantic notion of one day sitting in my mountain cabin and smoking a celebratory cigarette as the first novel was born, somewhere within those six years the dream of becoming a writer got put on hold. The question of who actually manages to make a living out of being writer was persistently posed. Who manages to pull that off? Not many, according to most people. Perhaps it was because science was deemed a safer career path, or perhaps it was because they let me chop up hearts, but I found myself spending more and more time in the biology lab and eventually the university applications went in and the next twelve years employment were set; science, hearts, but yet sadly no more dissections. Still resting quietly in the background were those long and lingering desires to once again rediscover those old aspirations to write.

   About six years ago, with the smouldering embers of a childhood dream sparking uncomfortably underfoot there was what can only be called an epiphany. Who is it that actually becomes a writer? Is it the people who live in New York? Is it the girl whose aunt works for Harper Collins or S&S, or another beast of a publishing house? It is those people, yes. But it’s not just those people. It’s the people who write.
   It’s the people who actually do more than say, ‘I have a dream’. Whilst this may sound simplistic, it was the revelation I needed to sit down and type Chapter One. The first book, The Loss of Deference was no longer just a fantasy and slowly became a workable manuscript. It was then sent out in eagerness before it was properly edited and therefore it was duly returned, and along with it I collected a nice set of standard rejection letters.

   Six years later, having uprooted from England to settle on the southern Mediterranean shores of Cyprus, the dream to publish the book once deemed nothing more than a pipe dream is now a reality. I am still working as a part time scientist, but I am also writing daily. When I am not sat at the computer typing about the darker side of life, you will find me hiking in the mountains, drinking frappe at the beach, or talking to myself in the kitchen in the style of an American celebrity chef. Just think Ina Garten.

   Five Star Review from Amazon Top 50 Hall of Fame Reviewer, Grady Harp

   What exactly is real? Your thoughts make whatever you perceive to be real. Beyond that, what exists? Tricia Stewart Shiu has stepped into territory that few contemporary writers of novels have journeyed concepts of many permutations of the spirit world as experienced and acted out by contemporary characters. Reading Shiu s book IRON SHINTO (the third volume of her series of books entitled The Moa Books) is not only immensely entertaining as a story, but also illuminating as to the concepts of the levels of existence that bond the corporeal world with the spirit world. Each chapter opens with a ritual that the reader can actually follow and perform, moments of enlightenment that heighten the meaning of the novel but also serve to open the reader s mind to the seemingly endless possibilities of realms of existence call it reincarnation or alternative levels of being or whatever connects the reader with a willingness to think along different lines. Though Shiu writes her books for a Teen or Young Adult audience, her commitment to expand the mind is so well centered that her audience could comfortably and satisfyingly include adult readers, especially those curious about universal levels of being.
