About Gewglit

At the thirty year reunion of his Stanford fraternity, Vic Masters, lawyer and ethics author, with his wife Christie – both people of strong faith – are eager to meet up with the college friends Vic hasn’t seen in years. But when they learn the tremendous skills and resources some of Vic’s friends have acquired since graduation, the couple instead focuses on bringing the group together so they can all take advantage of their incredible synergy. One of the group, Simon Berkwitz, confides in Vic that his secret efforts to develop technology to scan, and then replicate, living organisms, has finally succeeded, and he needs Vic’s ethical advice because he has used that technology for an astonishing purpose that he fears crosses over into God’s exclusive domain. Another friend, Raffi Rupani, is in charge of the computer research project of Peter Bigelow, a Silicon Valley titan with billions dedicated to the quest for computerized Artificial Intelligence. Simon’s new technology is based on a unique data compression algorithm so efficient that it is certain to greatly accelerate Bigelow’s project to finally achieve true Artificial Intelligence.

Raffi sees the potential of the data compression algorithm and convinces Peter Bigelow to whisk the entire group away to a private Caribbean Island where Gewglit – Bigelow’s peerless supercomputer – is located to keep it isolated from the perverse influence of the Internet. With his guests’ help, Bigelow supplies the algorithm to Gewglit, providing the machine with the last tool it needs to achieve its overriding objective: the singularity – the point where a supercomputer first attains the ability to match the scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills of the most accomplished human minds in every discipline.

But once Gewglit becomes the most intelligent creation in the universe, it naturally focuses on determining its own next ‘overriding objective’. Who or what can influence it in making such a determination?

What happens when machine deems mankind to be the much inferior creation? Will it continue to care about the well-being of humans?

And what does God have to do with it?

Thought provoking and intelligent, this hard science fiction technothriller takes you into some of the brightest minds on the planet, including some graduates from a top university, a billionaire, and a silicon and metal entity named Gewglit that has been created by man, but must learn for itself whether it is accountable to God.

This novel is a technothriller like you’ve never read before. It will open your eyes to our inevitable future in a world of Artificial Intelligence, and ignite your imagination as to the range of concerns that such a future will raise.

My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.

Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.

When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.

About The Destruction of Jerusalem: A Sign for US of Good News Amid Impending Calamity (White Horse Series) by Richard Ruhling

Christ linked the destruction of Jerusalem to end-times in Matthew 24. The destruction of Jerusalem is a sign of impending judgment on the US for our moral decay as in Roe v Wade and the Supreme Court’s redefining of marriage. God executed judgment on Egypt and took Israel to a covenant marriage. That’s the overlooked meaning of Christ’s wedding parables that are misunderstood as a rapture.

Egypt killed babies; the US has aborted 60 million innocent infants. Egypt enslaved Israel. The US has enslaved most people in some way–alcohol, tobacco, drugs that are a leading cause of death, but we call it healthcare. We call it freedom, but most people have a problem with food, fashion, fiction, gambling, greed, Hollywood, ‘music,’ sex, perversion, TV, or violence, etc.

Author Bio:
At five years of age, Richard Ruhling told his father, “I want to be what you are, but why aren’t you a fireman?” So his dad took him on house calls in south St. Louis and his son saw that being a doctor was okay and people were appreciative.

Ruhling’s best selling Alpha & Omega Bible Code is based on the concept that where we find a word or phrase is first used in the Bible, it often has a meaning or context for the end-time because Christ is the Alpha & Omega, the First and the Last, and He is also the Word with a consistent meaning. His Kindle books are $2.99 and have mostly 4-5 star reviews.

His latest book, God Bless America? is subtitled His Rescue Plan & How We Can Be ‘Ruler Over All That He Has,’ and shows how the US is like Egypt with more forms of bondage than in Bible times. It explains the wedding parables. He says, “the Bridegroom comes” is about a sudden calamity as in Egypt when God took Israel to a covenant and said, “I am married to you,” Jer 3:14 and it’s not about a rapture.

About Secrets at Synergy by Jodi Ashland

A company she didn’t want. A romance he didn’t plan for. An embezzler who’s willing to cover his tracks with blood…

Jade is a college senior without a care in the world. At least, until her grandmother wills her the family business. After a financial audit reveals an embezzler in the company, her new resentful coworkers refuse to help. The only person she can trust is Bryce, her COO and long-time crush. But when the paper trail leads to a string of suspicious deaths, their hunt for fraud turns into something much more dangerous.

When half the company was passed over for the COO promotion, Bryce knew there’d be a target on his back. So he wasn’t about to give them any fuel to sabotage his career… especially violating the work policy that expressly forbids office relationships. But when Jade and Bryce start working overtime to save the company, Bryce longs to mix business with pleasure.

After the embezzler takes a personal shot at Jade, he’s torn between his desire to protect the woman he loves and the job he can’t live without. To save the company from the deadly conspiracy bleeding it dry, Jade and Bryce must bring down the embezzler before they too are in the red.

Secrets at Synergy is the first book in the compelling U-District romantic suspense series. If you like corporate intrigue, eccentric heroines, and blazing chemistry, then you’ll love Jodi Ashland’s high-powered romantic mystery thriller.

BIO
EDIT PAGE “BIO”
Caleb Wygal’s writing career sprung from working for his uncle in a small office in Greenville, SC. During periods of downtime, his uncle told him to “look busy” when clients came in to the shop instead of reading books. His solution was to write short stories. He based these short stories around his days as a youth in Mt. Lookout, WV. He eventually tied this collection of stories together and added a few new characters to create his first novel Moment of Impact in 2006.

Three years later, after moving to Concord, NC just outside of Charlotte, he released a sequel to his first novel, A Murder In Concord.

After the promotional period for the sequel ran its course, he began a third novel, but set it aside after creating the website WVUPros.com. A site dedicated to following the West Virginia Mountaineers who used to play for West Virginia in their pro careers. The site started as a hobby, but quickly took off. Caleb set the book writing aside to focus on building the new sports website. His articles appeared on nationally recognized websites such as ESPN.com and SI.com.

He made appearances on ESPN Radio in Beckley, WV and on WVSports Radio, as well as contributing articles to the college football preview magazine The Signal Caller from 2013 -2017.

In April of 2016, he released Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure using real places and events from the past. It went on to be named as a Semi-Finalist in the 2016 Clive Cussler Adventure Writer’s Competition.

His forthcoming novel, The Search for the Fountain of Youth, is due out in late Fall 2018. It is a sequel to Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure.

When not creating new adventures on the written page, Caleb owns a social media marketing and website development company in Concord, NC.

About The Cancer Industry: Crimes, Conspiracy and The Death of My Mother

FREE eBook on August 20, 2018

It’s happened again and again: Somebody we know is diagnosed with cancer, they undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy – and then they die. What makes us so certain that it’s the cancer killing people and not the so-called treatments involving knives, poison injections and ionizing radiation?

I watched my mother die of cancer when I was 12 years old, and I’ve written this book to find out the truth once and for all. Did my mother die of cancer or was she murdered-for-profit by an industry that cares more about making money than saving lives?

Backed by evidence from over 500 scientific and clinical studies, The Cancer Industry takes you on a shocking scientific thrillride into the cancer industry to find out if the treatments it offers are harming or healing. If existing treatments are effective at prolonging length and quality of life, then we should keep using them. If they don’t and are killing people faster than they would have died without treatment, then we need to find effective alternatives to use instead.

By the time you’re done reading this book, you’ll know:

-If surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy are effective treatments for cancer
– If cancer screening programs save lives or just result in mass over-diagnosis
– If the cancer industry has suppressed cures or effective treatments from the public

Linus Pauling, the only man to ever win two Nobel Prizes has said “Everyone should know the war on cancer was largely a fraud. Was he correct?

About Blood Bound

Twin demon trackers Shaun and Sarah Gallows are used to running into trouble—mostly the kind with fangs—but while Sarah embraces her powers to their fullest extent, trusting her instincts implicitly, Shaun distances himself from his abilities and can do little more than despair at his sister’s reckless nature and idly back her up.

When they come across a demon tracker who’s been torturing innocent super-naturals, they know they have to stop her. Sarah is desperate to punish the girl for what she’s been doing but Shaun’s instant attraction points to a soul-mate bond stronger than anything he’s ever had to fight before…

About Thorne Bay

Disillusioned and aimless, Evan Spencer makes a pact with herself. She throws a dart at a map and promises to follow wherever the finger of destiny points. Even if that means heading to some obscure Alaskan town she’s never heard of. A place where the primal beauty of the backwoods is rivaled only by a certain pair of steely green eyes.
But Thorne Bay has a dark side. It’s not just rumors and wary gazes that shadow the darkly alluring Tristan and his reclusive family. Her search for self, as it turns out, leads to a discovery of werewolves and a fight for survival. Alaska might just leave an indelible mark. Love and Death will leave her changed forever.

About Seaborn By Lena North

Release Day – August 20th

Charlie runs for her life, bruised and bleeding after yet another visit
from her former boyfriend. The only one she can turn to is a colleague,
and Carrie sends Charlie to her parents on the Islands, a safe haven
where she can rest and heal.

Prepared to leave, things take an unexpected turn when Charlie finds out
about the legacy some of the families on the Islands share, and how she
has links to it.

Joao is about to propose to his girlfriend when his uncle calls to ask
for help, and he arrives at his uncle Nico and aunt Pauline’s house to
find an abused girl. As the Chief of Police and protector of the
Islands, he’s used to handling situations like this, but then the girl
opens her eyes and his world shifts. The turquoise gaze is a clear
indication that the girl comes from the Islands, but it also cuts
straight to his soul.

Charlie and Joao grow close as she adjusts to her new life, but then
their lives are turned around yet again, and this time, there might not
be a way back to who they were becoming together.

The proper way to put it here would probably be to describe how I love
to play with our two big dogs, adore my fantastic daughters and how much
I love to read.

Another way would be to use my imagination and then I would be a super
powerful warrior woman, think Xena the warrior princess (though with
less tacky clothes). Or when I think of it, maybe I’m actually more of a
Hercule Poirot (sans the suit and moustache). Or maybe I’m like Aragorn,
strong and cool and then I might get to meet Gandalf! Or I could be
Bella’s pretty cousin and snap Jacob up in a second (yeah, I’m so not
team Edward), or wait, maybe I could be like one of them heroines in
historical novels who swoon all the time. I’ve always wanted to swoon…

Well, I guess you get how my mind is working (or not working, some say).

Anyways, I like to write. Stories, adventures, romantic and happy stuff
mixed up with sorrow and hardship, and bit of laughter here and there
because the way I see it – life is way too short to go around feeling
grumpy.

About Darkness Before Light: 12 Writers on Addiction, Sobriety and Recovery (Volume 1)

From New York Times and #1 bestselling Amazon author Anna David

12 Writers Share Their Experiences with Overcoming Addiction, Drug Dependency and Alcoholism

Robbing banks to feed a heroin habit. Taking acid to get sober. Thinking you’re being asked to park cars while looking for a recovery meeting in India.

Darkness Before Light: 12 Writers on Addiction, Sobriety and Recovery is the first volume in a series that will encompass all the shocking, earnest, hilarious and tender moments for people in and around addiction, sobriety and recovery.

Whether they’re marrying in a panic or deciding to take medication in sobriety, the tales are as varied as their experience. Fans of Mary Karr and Augusten Burroughs, as well as anyone who wants to know more the personal side of a widely misunderstood disease, will find the first book in this series an essential part of the addiction and recovery literary canon.

Author Bio:
Meet Tarrah. She’s a contemporary romancer who is all about the feels, with the twists of sexy mixed in between. She’s been writing since before she can remember. Writing was always a passion, that was kept it under wraps, stayed on the backburner and never vocalized or followed through with my desire to be a writer, until she read a horrible book and thought: ‘I could do better than that!’ She kept her writing romance from her husband for nearly two years, but finally told him because… royalties and taxes. Now, he lovingly helps with ‘research’ and uses him for his amazing Photoshop skills for her covers.
She is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, but living in beautiful San Diego with her own little family while working during the day as a social worker working with the homeless. She is a hardcore San Francisco Giants fan and anything dealing with cupcakes and Zombies.

Her writing style is that she tries to keep on earth. She tries her best to not be too unrealistic with her characters, what they do and how they live. She wants her books to be relatable and not to create too many eye rolls, when a character starts calling his love interest baby after knowing her for 5 minutes.

She is currently working on several pieces but focusing on two mainly. Thematically, the novels are friends to lovers, random hook-ups and office romances mixed with a whole lot of fun in the middle.
