About The Transamerica Cell

A police officer has murdered an innocent man. A young woman is the only witness. Now she must run for her life.

A trip across America turns into a nightmare, with survival being the only objective.

Maddie Millar is desperately trying to keep ahead of her pursuers. But who exactly are they? And who is doing all the killing?

A young man may be able to help, but has he told them enough before he dies in a horrific accident.

This is edge of the seat stuff, and the plot twists and turns as the story unfolds.

This is a novel in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole thriller series.
(The Transamerica Cell story concludes in this book, but the main characters are set to return in future exploits).

Cole is a tough, ex-military man. He’s the sort of person that trouble and danger seem to follow, wherever he goes. He can be ruthless when he needs to be. And he often finds the need.

Hedge is a reluctant hero. Plagued with anxieties and haunted by flashbacks, he is not the type of lead character that you would normally expect. This novel is refreshingly different in that respect.

You are invited along for the ride, but only if you have the stomach for it!

Kevin Bradley once again shows how to mix fast paced action, with suspense and intrigue. This book will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

This book would sit well alongside your Lee Child and Jack Higgins favourites!

About Catwished by Ann Sepino

(Ann Sepino is giving away Catwished for FREE from April 8-9, 2019!)

SIDIRO hated breaking rules. However, he ended up foolishly breaking the most important one: never reveal your jinn powers to a mortal. Now he’s stuck in the mortal realm as a consequence, living life one boring day at a time – until he meets TAVA.

She’s tiny, she’s sweet, she’s a shapeshifting jinni like him… and she’s in danger. The little otter cat had enemies at her heels, and Sid had cluelessly challenged them by rescuing her. Now he has no choice but to keep Tava safe, otherwise she would lose her freedom and even her life.

But why did she have to be so distracting? Why did she have to flash those pretty eyes and show off that gorgeous skin? Most of all, why was he allowing himself to fall in love despite vowing to never do so again?!

Will Sid end up with a happily-ever-after, or will he go down in history as the jinni who got ‘catwished?’

“Fairy-tale fantasies for the heart.”

Hello everyone! My name is Ann, and I am an independent Filipino author with a passion for poetry and writing. My love for writing began at five years old, when I drew a picture book as part of my kindergarten project. My fascination with romance novels began at fourteen. I lean towards creating female protagonists with characteristics such as loyalty, longevity and inner strength, much like the sunflower depicted in my logo.

I love writing about knights-in-distress and damsels-in-shining-armor. I also enjoy referencing and incorporating Filipino or Asian culture into my stories. When I’m not writing in my notebook or typing on my laptop, I’m probably binging on anime, drawing on my sketch pad or killing it at karaoke.

Judith Lucci is a Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Amazon Best Selling author who loves to kill people – which is totally opposite what she’s spent her life doing. “I love to think of heinous ways to dispose of people – sometimes a lot of people- but it must be creative. I don’t use guns very often but rather rely on my medical background and research to figure out the best way to get the job done. Bullets are just too easy. I’m sure a psychiatrist would have a ball trying to figure out why someone who spent her life caring for people and saving lives, now spends hours each day in the creative pursuit of murder.”

About Accompanying the Dying: Practical, Heart-Centered Wisdom for End-of-Life Doulas and Health Care Advocates

Accompanying the Dying describes the human skill and art of companioning someone through dying. There is a wide gap in this knowing (of how to accompany the dying), which is why this book is timely and needed at this juncture of the “death positive” movement. The book is meant to empower us as a society to understand how to die well in this modern age. Deanna describes the newly emerging role of the “end-of-life doula,” which is a nonmedical role that provides practical, emotional, and spiritual support to the dying and their family. This role is a powerful solution to the looming crisis in health care as our baby boomers and their elders age and die in the oncoming years.

The book is overflowing with wisdom that only someone with years of experience can impart, offers historical context and present-day initiatives and describes how end-of-life doulas and health-care advocates can change the face of dying wherever they choose to serve.

No doubt, Accompanying the Dying takes its place among the great works of humanity, bringing us to the next level of awareness in companioning our family, friends and communities with skillful, loving care.

About The Girl who Sang with Whales (Islesong Book 1)

Welcome to the 2nd edition of The Girl who Sang with Whales. This new edition, published in October 2016, contains substantial changes from the first edition, most notably, a completely re-written and improved ending – thank you to those who requested it! Thus, the previous cliff-hanger ending has been eliminated.

Here be Sea-Dragons and salty adventure … be warned, wayfarer. Sail these waters at your peril.

I sang to the Sea; She sang back to me,
Tales and travails wreathed in mystery.

Imagine an island world where the seas seethe with dangerous creatures, where those rare men and women called Bard-Navigators have learned to sing Whales to protect their ships. Only on the wings of Bardsong can ships avoid the Sea-Dragons and travel the great gulf between the Atolls scattered across the World-Sea.

Zhialeiana has an astonishing gift of song. She can sing the unique songs of the mighty and magical creatures of the World-Sea. She can touch their souls. When her gift is discovered at her mother’s funeral, the current of her life begins to sweep her to a future that she could never have imagined. She must navigate both opportunity and danger, and lay her life on the line for the Whales she loves. But Zhialeiana also has a toxic secret – a secret that will force her to undertake a journey beyond faith, beyond all hope, and beyond the World-Sea.

Prepare to be swept away to a magnificent ocean world where danger can, and does, lurk beneath any wave.

About Mindfulness: How to Overcome Anxiety, De-stress and Find Transformative Peace and Happiness for your Everyday Life

Discover how incorporating mindfulness into your life can help you find peace, happiness and eliminate stress and anxiety for good!

The idea of mindfulness has been around for a very long time. In fact, it can be traced back to at least two centuries before the birth of Christ. If this is true, why are we not cured of the stresses in our lives? In the busy 21st century, many people choose to prioritize money, career, school and social obligations over stress management. There are so many people on this earth today who are suffering from the effects of stress and it is little wonder. We encourage a world of competition and consumerism. We fill our heads with expectations and when life doesn’t live up to those expectations, the natural conclusion is disappointment. In fact, when you look at suicide numbers worldwide, it doesn’t come as a shock that they are up. What does come as a shock is that even children are feeling pressured to conform to the world that they are growing up in to the extent that they are living stressed lives. When you incorporate mindfulness into your life, you put yourself in control of your emotions and your emotional responses to life.
Living the mindful way, can help you find that problems become less onerous and that stress doesn’t affect you in the same way it once did. Mindfulness can help you have a more compassionate approach to life and you may find that the happiness you feel attracts other equally happy people into your life.
It’s time to take a leap of faith and discover how mindfulness can transform your life!
Here Is A Preview Of What You’ll Learn…

-Appreciate even small things in your life
-Stay calm in stressful situations
-Improve your sense of wellbeing
-Get more enjoyment out of your relationships
-Improve job satisfaction
-Enjoy beauty and nature
-Increased sense of control over your emotions
-Improve mental health
AND, Much, much more!

About Working for Uncle Henry

Family secrets rooted in WW2 conspiracies entangle two cousins in a web of murder and espionage while working for their uncle, retired Air Force Colonel Henry Archer.

Meet the Archers – A Trust Fund Family:

Henry Archer is a retired Air Force Colonel with a propensity to airsickness. His eccentricities and genius IQ make him as Winston Churchill would say, “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” He now uses his art and antique dealings to propagate his secret activities.

Edith Archer is Henry’s wife. An accomplished artist and musician, she is perhaps far more intelligent than her quirky behavior and comments indicate.

Gerard Humphries is the Archer’s butler and Henry’s best friend. A bit of a mystery himself, he seems to know all, see all, and be everywhere.

Jennifer Vincini is Henry and Edith’s niece. She is a worldwide fashion model who grew up in European boarding schools with very little parental involvement. She is the definition of sex appeal, finds men disposable, and always gets what she wants.

Parker Madison is Henry and Edith’s nephew and Jennifer’s cousin. Parker is a good guy who just wants to live a simple, godly life, but a desire to make a difference in the world keeps getting in the way.

Mackenzie Clair needs a fresh start. The death of her father and a broken relationship rendered her old life unlivable. What better place to build a new one than Donn’s Hill, the most haunted town in America and her favorite childhood vacation spot?

But returning to Donn’s Hill awakens more than nostalgia. As memories resurface, so does a lost psychic ability to talk to the dead… a power the poltergeist haunting Mac’s apartment is eager to use.

Aided by her new roommate—a spirited Tortoiseshell cat named Striker—and the ghost-hunting crew of the Soul Searchers, Mac struggles to control her newfound talents. She’d better get a handle on them fast, because someone in town is hiding a deadly secret. If Mac can’t divine the truth, Donn’s Hill will never be the same.

About Secrets of Ancient Tibet, 6,000 B.C., by Michael Hawking

Free on Amazon 4/9 – 4/10/19. Explore Ancient Tibet and its Profound Secret Knowledge. The civilization of very ancient Tibet—the lost kingdom of Zhang Zhung and its legendary tradition of sorcery and true magic—is among the least known and most irritatingly mysterious obscurities of history. Very little of its past has been deciphered and orthodox scholarship stands before Zhang Zhung in deeper darkness today than that which shrouded the Egypt of the Pharaohs before Champollion. Archaeologists debate what the ancient civilization on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau actually was, when it came, and whence it came.
Doubtless many chapters of Tibet’s ancient history will lie forever silent under her remote and desolate soil, yet extant traditions exist and have been too readily set aside; academic pedants love to brand as mythical the accounts which have endured the millennia, and which mischievously persist.
The study of antiquity is properly accounted worthless except as it may be made living knowledge which illuminates and enriches our contemporary life. Owing to a remarkable series of events in an isolated region of the Himalayas, I encountered an extraordinary group of people and, through those encounters, was privileged to learn that much of the secret knowledge of the ancient Zhang Zhung culture has not only been preserved, it is powerful, richly illuminating, and utilized to this day. As the reader will discover, these shrouded secrets formulate the explorations in this book.
As one of their most illuminating concepts, those traditions relate that there is a group of esoteric teachings—the ‘Four Portals’—which set forth the true nature of physical reality and techniques of powerful elemental magic, or “sorcery.” The first traces of the teachings are thought to have appeared as part of the lore of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture that arose in Tibet several thousand years ago, but may have originated far earlier. Being a forbidden body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for countless centuries, not to reemerge until the 7th century A.D. in the arcane scriptures of the ancient pre-Buddhist B’on religion.
According to those ancient traditions, the teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ were formulated by the earliest known “Buddha-like” master, Tonpa Shenrab Miwoche. The B’on traditions relate this historic event as occurring as early as 18,000 to 16,000 B.C. Although still shrouded in mystery, our most recent research indicates that the extant evidence places the earliest date of the Zhang Zhung culture at about 6,000 B.C., although the date of 18,000 to 16,000 B.C. may indicate the existence of a true Zhang Zhung or pre-Zhang Zhung culture existing prior to the ‘Younger Dryas Boundary’ cataclysmic event that effectively erased early civilizations from the historical record.
Much like our most recent historical Buddha, Shenrab renounced his life as a prince of the royal family to become a monk. Over a period of “many years,” the traditions relate, he gained access to secret knowledge that had been imparted, recorded, and hidden away some two-thousand years earlier by an entity known as “Gekhoe.” With this knowledge Shenrab achieved enlightenment and “otherworldly powers,” then later composed a comprehensive body of teachings to instruct qualified seekers on the means and techniques of attaining the most elevated wisdom and power. That secret knowledge is explored in this book.

About RUSH by Faye Byrd

Rush Kaplan likes his women wet, his alcohol straight, and his drugs any way he can get them. He parties all night and sleeps ‘til noon, only to wash, rinse, and repeat the next day. He flies as close to the sun as he dares, praying he’ll one day get burned.

All he wants is to feel alive.

With his past haunting his every waking minute, he can no longer enjoy life’s natural highs, so he instead settles for the manufactured kind. But the emptiness is always there, lingering on the edges of his psyche and threatening to swallow him whole.

Six months after graduating Veterinary School, Alyssa Cole feels like she’s making a difference. Her clinic is located in a working-class neighborhood, and she’s enacted a sliding pay scale to make her services more affordable.

When she comes in early one morning to treat a sick pup, she finds a man covered in blood and passed out on the floor. But it just isn’t any man. It’s the same one she spied in the alley behind her clinic only a week earlier.

And he wasn’t alone.

With the memory from that day still fresh, will the good doctor call the police and have him arrested for breaking and entering, or can she find the cure for what ails him instead?

About The Dark Rift – Book One – The Last Artifact Trilogy

When they come into possession of a mysterious prehistoric cube, relic hunter Gabriel Parker, and the alluring artifact historian Natasha Rossi, find themselves inexplicably bound to a dark mythology dating back to the roots of civilization. Throughout history the long lost Cube has been sought after by emperors, popes, and caliphs alike. It is believed to be a container of knowledge; a holy vessel capable of emancipating humanity from the confines of earthly mortality. Now that it has been found, demonic forces are surfacing to destroy it. Their presence marks the return of a potent nefarious entity that once reigned supreme in Earth’s distant reptilian past.

Under the apocalyptic shadow of global unrest and rampant natural disasters, Gabriel and Natasha battle to prevent this sinister blight from being unleashed. With nothing but a tattered journal to guide them, they race from Italy to Morocco, and finally to the mountains of Northern Spain where they must locate a Lost Labyrinth spoken of by the ancients. There, deep in a Sacred Chamber, they will find salvation for mankind, but not without a price. A cosmic clock is ticking. It marks the world’s entry into the oblivion of the Dark Rift, and the final days that remain.

Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award. A.L. Long is also the recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award.

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.
