About Search 4 Splendor, Unplugged Version by L.A. Bockman

This book will be free on Amazon from December 18, 2021 through December 22, 2021

Search 4 Splendor, Unplugged Version weaves its literary, lyrical roots through a myriad of diverse terrains: Victim/Survivor Rights, Classic Literature, Poetry, Science Fiction, and Outsider Art.

Castles of Literature
Welcome to the Search 4 Splendor literary journey: A journey that travels deep into the lands of “Victim/Survivor Speak” Magic. Explore around the castles of classic literature inspired creative writing–and leave all earthly rules about novels and/or “non-fiction vs. fiction,” behind.

This wildly unconventional, otherworldly and exploratory novel, narrated by Life and Literature Loving Millicent Splendor (who strives to honor all Victims and Survivors in the world), is creatively designed as “two books in one”: “Search 4 Splendor, Volume 1: The Search,” plus, Volume II: The Splendor.” (Please Note: “Unplugged Version” omits most of the author’s artwork, childhood photographs, drawings, and paintings, that are included in the original version, published February 3, 2020.)

It is an autobiography of the author’s nine year old self (written as she got older), and deals with one person’s humanitarian-aspired interpretation and creative exploration of their own childhood-experiences’ meanings – or does it? Or, does it brush by all experiences within life, at least in the abstract, in its united, interwoven hope to offer compassion to all people in this world—both today and historically, of a variety of things: violence, racism, intolerance, crime, injustice, child abuse, sexual abuse/sexual assault, identity issues, etc.

The author’s fervent hope is for her words to reach into people’s lives—to encourage her readers to use their own modes of expression, in order to convey their own lives’ experiences. To show that Victims and Survivors should always be empowered and always permitted to flaunt their words, energies, and creativities, in any way that they desire (i.e., “Victim/Survivor Speak”).

And that Victims and Survivors, along with all Good, Righteous People of all backgrounds, ages, situations, and caliber of experiences (again, today and historically) – that their lives alone, the sacred memories of their lives – and their survivals – are vital to society, vital to every culture’s history, and vital to humankind’s (and every living creature’s) splendorous entirety.

Author Bio:
L.A. Bockman, author of the ‘Search 4 Splendor” novels has nothing to brag or boast about. She was once a precocious child who loved Rock n’ Roll, Art/Drawing, Reading/Poetry, Nature, and all of Life. After some strange, untoward circumstances (when she was nine years old), rendered her path a little different, she went on to grow up into a “rebellious punk rocker/experimental teenager,” who, at seventeen, started college. She eventually attended two Universities, where she finally (while painting pictures, designing strange, glittery, magician-inspired outfits, and hanging out at rock concerts) earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Cultural Anthropology. She worked during college at various jobs: a collection agency, antique clothing store, perfume factory, flipping hamburgers in a local bowling alley’s restaurant, etc. After not landing her ideal job after college, and some other colorful events, she moved to Hollywood, CA, where she planted herself (along with her paint-sets, her wayward clothes, and her writing and poems from college). A guitar player since childhood, she went on to work at The Guitar Center in Hollywood, CA, selling guitar strings and electric guitar accessories to some of her favorite rock stars; that is, until getting hired at a famous Accounting firm in Downtown Los Angeles as an Administrative Assistant, who (somehow or other), over the years, got promoted to a Financial Analyst, and eventually, to an Auditor/Consultant. Yet, after waving goodbye to the corporate world, she woke up one day, resolved to become a writer; and to this vision, like a compulsion, she still fervently adheres. She took up her writerly pen, with zero expectations other than to write books and document memories in such a way that could serve as “mirrors and cognitive expanders” to her Life – and to all of Life.

About The Business Engagement

One engagement can save two reputations… if they can keep their hands off each other.

From her enemy to her boss. When claustrophobic Anna gets trapped in an elevator with hunky Skylar, the last thing she expects is to exit an engaged woman. But Skylar insists tongues will stop wagging when people realize she is marrying him and not sleeping with her boss.

Skylar’s father (her boss) invites her to spend Thanksgiving weekend with his entire family in Vermont, and he won’t take no for an answer. She has no clue how she will get through four days under the same roof with the sexy, arrogant Skylar. Then she discovers they expect her to share a room with her fiancé. Now what?

With her job on the line, will she also be willing to risk her heart?

About Murder in the Master by Judy L Murray

BACK COVER COPY:
A Chesapeake village rocked by murder
A family empire resented
A friend accused

Real estate rule #1: A dead body creates buzz. A dead body in a house for sale is never the buzz you want.
It isn’t the first-time real estate agent Helen Morrisey has found someone naked in bed while showing a house. But this one is different. One glance at the bluish cast around his lips and the vacant, staring eyes, and Helen knows developer Al Capelli is never going to sign another sales agreement.
His death is big news for a small Chesapeake water town where a family empire is built around secrets and their brash money style is resented by locals. Within days, his lover, her old friend, begs Helen to find the killer before she’s arrested for murder. Helen quickly realizes that solving a murder mystery in real life is a lot more dangerous than reading one. She decides to create her own Detection Club of expert sleuths—Miss Marple, Jessica Fletcher, Nora Charles, Agatha Raisin, and, yes, Nancy Drew to help unearth the truth.
Detective Joe McAlister recognizes Helen’s insight into back-office real estate deals and local players. And for the first time since her husband’s death, Helen meets a man who might return zingers as quick as she tosses them out. Mystery lovers hungry for a smart gutsy woman, a fast-moving plot, and an insider’s look into a business everyone talks about, but few understand, will devour this first in a series.

About Determined to Persist: General Earle Wheeler, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Military’s Foiled Pursuit of Victory in Vietnam by Colonel Mark A. Viney

Acrimony and calls for resignations over the recent US defeat in Afghanistan evoke painful memories of the Vietnam War, the nadir of civilian-military relations when the Joint Chiefs of Staff decided to resign en masse. Has history repeated itself?

Find out in “Determined to Persist,” which takes readers inside the White House, the Pentagon, and the U.S. military headquarters in Hawaii and South Vietnam while tracing the internal debates, tensions, and critical inflection points in the Vietnam War.

The longest serving Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Earle G. Wheeler was the senior military advisor to Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In disgust with their administrations’ disastrous Vietnam War policies, Wheeler shredded his memoirs. He died three years later. In consequence, a gaping hole has existed in understanding the Vietnam War — until now.

Using exclusive documents from the Wheeler family and others recently declassified, “Determined to Persist” overturns long-held, inaccurate perceptions of civilian-military relations and provides a fuller, more accurate representation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s role in the Vietnam War.

Mark is well-known for applying historical insights toward organizations’ current issues.

About Azure Blue

An immortal race freed by death and defiance of the gods.

Hundreds of years of peace have reigned since the treaty between the Amazon nymphs and the gods of Mount Olympus. The edict forbids the Amazon nymphs to leave their isle of Azure Blue. But Azure Blue is threatened as the continent of Atala is fractured by war.

As nymph queen Delia grieves the death of the king who once united them, her unruly daughter, Avva, wishes to mourn him in her own way. Avva plans a flyover with her unicorn beyond the Strait of Azure. Such hubris forces sacrifice. Nymphs fall to the Underworld.

In the depths, they find Cora, the goddess Persephone. And Cora might be the only goddess willing to risk her family’s wrath and help them. After all, Cora has fallen from Azure Blue before.

Azure Blue is Book II in the Azure Series. Although tied to Cora: Rise of the Fallen Goddess, this is a standalone novel taking place centuries later. Some spoilers cannot be avoided, but this novel can be enjoyed without reading the first novel.

About Featured Book: Of Men and Dragons: Jack’s Landing by Steve Hayen

Jack was having a very bad day. He’d been scouting the edges of the known galaxy when he’d crashed onto a planet at the beginning of its iron age. What was worse, the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivores who are faster, stronger, and every bit as clever as himself. The only saving grace was that they seemed too afraid to get close to his ship for some reason. Hopefully, that would hold true long enough for him to repair his ship and get home…

S’haar was having a very bad day. First, she’d gotten herself kicked out of the guard, then the hunters, and finally, she’d rejected the village lord’s son. Now it was early winter, and she’d been tied to a stake to appease the new dragon that had made a fiery appearance last night. If she managed to avoid being eaten alive or freezing to death, someone was going to pay…

About Zendar: A Tale of Blood and Sand

Blood is how it all began, and only by blood can it end. Chaos has reigned in Zendar for years since the rise of the seven Bloodlines. The Liege Aleron Corvinus ruthlessly seeks revenge for the mistreatment of his ancestors. His ambitions will only be sated when he claims the world under his family’s name; he will only stop when all of Zendar is his and the other six Bloodlines pay their weight in blood.

Azel Undel was born into this world of blood and sand. She is of a dying Bloodline, a feared one, but most coveted. Promised, in exchange for money, to a man she had never known; Azel travels across Zendar. Her ship is attacked and she alone survives, setting the wheels of fate in motion. She did not expect to become her enemy’s captive or that he would demand her submission to him.

Loyalties are tested, secrets are uncovered, and Azel will have to make a choice: remain loyal to her family and everything she ever stood for or be loyal to her own heart.
