She enjoys swimming in the sea when her laptop has seen too much of her and confesses willingly that she has quite an addiction to historical fiction and series, which may or may not feature dragons, walls and multiple kingdoms.

About The Half Theft

Charlie Riverson led a mundane life in the nearly abandoned city of Collinswood. Always had. Always would, at least that’s what he preferred to believe. It eased his mind far more than the truth of his life as of lately—the reality of the unexplainable crime attempted in his home, just three months after the disappearance of his best friend, and a possible link between the two.

The link? The Ducartes, the city’s most notorious family of homicidal madmen—and woman—who spent the majority of their time carrying out promises of revenge upon anyone who dared to disobey them. Most dangerous of all were the children, Grant and Naomi, the two who executed their father’s plans, no matter how gruesome.

Charlie now found himself at the intersection of a terrific and terrible realization. The good news: There was a chance, even if a small one, that Charlie might yet be able to rescue his friend. The bad news: The key to her whereabouts led him straight to the very family he wanted to distance himself from most.

About Through Hell & Highwater

In university Volo Noscere, located in Rome, where new academic year brings forth alot of new challenges and questions. When the world becomes increasingly unpredictable, are the humans reason for it all, or is there more to it?

Evyline, a curious elf girl, is starting her first year at the university. Her magical capabilities are quite general – she can’t even summon a proper attack spell, which would be useful climbing through ogre infested mountains, or… visiting a dragon’s nest – but she has spirit and will to learn. She also has a knack of being in a wrong place at a wrong time. It is not only her curiosity that gets her in trouble, it’s just her luck.

Lisanna is a shapeshifter, who is sharing her dormitory room with three werewolves. She is reckless, likes to joke around and doesn’t care about studying all that much. She is over the heels in love with a vampire from fifth year. He doesn’t know it, though. She might be brave enough to jump off the roof of a building, but hasn’t found guts to approach her crush. This year might just be different.

RocTar grew up outside of the orc village he was born in. Being alone most of his life left him wary of other people. Oh, he is more than capable of handling any situation to perfection all by himself. He doesn’t need anybody; he is better off on his own, isn’t he?

Tylon has three years of experience on his back. He is already as good as any graduate from the university, or so he likes to think. He might as well be one of the strongest magic users in his generation and he is not afraid to rub it under everyone else’s noses. His only care in the world is to show off his incredible power. All until… until everything changes.

About Mysticism in Nepal and Tibet, The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking: 2020 Edition Exploratory Anthology

Free on Amazon 11/10 – 11/12/2020, always Free on Kindle Unlimited. There has long been a deep desire felt by scholars to recover the secrets of the ancient cultures of Tibet and Nepal, to trace the background of their spiritual development as derived from ever earlier cultures, and then to discover whatever modern manifestations might still exist in the remote margins of that mysterious world.
Composed from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s experiences in remote regions of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into areas of our planet that in all history only a handful of people have experienced, a journey that leads to the discovery of the most refined and powerful mystical knowledge possessed by the human race.
“Mysticism has been in the past and ever will be one of the greatest powers of the world.” —W.B. Yeats
“What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain true knowledge. It’s close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally, while in mysticism you go vertically.” —Nietzsche
“The mystic and the physicist arrive at the same conclusion; one starting from the inner realm, the other from the outer world. The harmony between their views confirms the ancient Indian wisdom that the ultimate reality without is identical to the reality within.” —Fritjof Capra
Experience has proven that this mystical knowledge offers the illumination and guidance necessary to create a superlative life, but of which few have a full appreciation. If truly understood through patient study, fully integrated into your core belief system, and practiced with unwavering diligence, this knowledge can wholly transform your experience of this world in every positive way imaginable.
On an extended trek into a largely unexplored inner region of the vast wilderness of the Himalayas, Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village called Siddhalaya. In that community he had the privilege of meeting truly extraordinary men and women, encounters that marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his adventures, experiences, and conversations with those highly enlightened individuals.
This book presents in-depth narratives of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and descriptions of the esoteric knowledge that made such extraordinary abilities possible. An incomparable Kindle Unlimited Edition Anthology you will never forget. 2020 Edition, Kindle e-reader page count 265 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

About Screams of Late Spring: A Rebel Joe Story by Dan Sanders

Two Counties has always been a bit peculiar. More unmarked graves are dug there than proper ones, they say. And families keep secrets too. I’d learn that the hard way.

Pop and I caught the early train to Mitchell, Indiana, that morning. I was excited to see my cousin Birdy and run around town all day. But after I had an encounter with a cutthroat on the train, and when I found out I had a brother named Ray, I figured things couldn’t get any more dangerous or strange.

Well I was wrong about that. Before I could blink, I was off on a journey with Birdy and Ray, into the wilds of Two Counties, bound for Rebel Joe’s cave. I had no idea who Rebel Joe was or what was in his cave. I just hoped he wouldn’t be home when we got there.

About Void of Power: New Generation By Andrew C. Raiford

The Void belongs to everyone and belongs to no one. Because of the Cultural War Treaty, the federal government or any agent under their control cannot enter the Void. Ruled for nearly sixty by gangs and drug cartels, the “settlers” of the Void must live by their wits and their skill at arms.

Raised by scientists who had been sequestered in an underground complex in the Texas panhandle, the Walsh family employs their genius and talents to forever change the quality of life for the citizens of the Void using technologies far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When government forces enter the Void on a capture-or-kill mission which has targeted two extraordinarily gifted children, they run headlong into this family of geniuses and Texas Rangers who dedicate themselves to protect the children. The feds soon realize that they are mice attempting to capture one very mean, intelligent cat. The stakes must be raised. Lives are lost. War ensues.

Author Bio:
Born in Houston, Texas, Andrew was raised in a family of seven brothers. Most of the action and adventure that dominated his young life was that which sprang from the imaginations of the brothers Raiford. Since there was no limit to the stories they could create through their play-acting, it was not uncommon to have Daniel Boone not only be attacked by bears or red-coats, but also Nazis and/or extraterrestrial conquerors. Imaginative eight-year-olds care nothing for history.

During his young adult years, Andrew took on some very odd jobs to keep his young family fed. For two years he was a real cowboy who rode and roped and pushed cattle on a large ranch nestled in the snow-capped mountains of northern California. After moving back to his home state of Texas he worked in the printing business as a journeyman pressman, and later in gun sales and corporate security.

Andrew even worked in church ministry for ten years during the period that he and his wife raised five talented children. They would later become the inspiration for Andrew’s first novel, Void of Power – New Generation, which surprisingly contains no Nazis or extraterrestrial invaders.

About The Haunting of Westminster Abbey by Mark Patton

Wallace Butterfield, British architect, knew that he has been a failure at nearly everything, including relationships. But what he didn’t know — couldn’t know — was that he was special. He would have been amazed to know how exceptional he really was.

Wallace’s only hope is an invitation from Reverend Poda-Pirudi, chairman of the Westminster Abbey Foundation, London, England, to bid on the design for a new tower for the Abbey.

Unfortunately a coven of absinthe-drinking Witches have taken an interest in the architect special quality and have decided that they will do anything (kidnapping, torture, or even burning at the stake) to get what they want from him.

What do the Witches want? Will they succeed in burning Wallace at the stake? Who is Reverend Poda-Pirudi and what can he do to try to save Wallace?

God Is Speaking (Compete Series in One Volume) by Andy Ripley

God Is Speaking (Complete Series) combines the three volumes of the GOD IS SPEAKING series into one volume.

GOD IS SPEAKING 1 (FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT) is the first of a three-part series describing what God has spoken to us all through His word, the Bible. Presenting Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, He has spoken many things to mankind. What specifically does He say as God the Father, as God the Son, and as God the Spirit? How does God interact with His people as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?

GOD IS SPEAKING 2 (THE BIBLE, PROPHETS & PREACHERS) is the second book of a three-part series describing what God has spoken to us through His word, the Bible. The Bible which He has provided for us is the main way in which God communicates His special message to the people He has created. Historically, God has used chosen men (Prophets & Preachers) to preach and interpret His word to us. It is vital to us that we learn to take in the word of God as our daily spiritual food, through reading and through hearing these chosen men of God preach and teach to us from His word.

GOD IS SPEAKING 3 (VISIONS, DREAMS & VOICES) is the third book of a three-part series describing what God has spoken to us through His word, the Bible. In the Bible eras, certain chosen men received information from God through visions and dreams. These great visions and dreams are written out for us to see in the Bible. They are often breath-taking in their beauty, dreadful in their declarations of judgement, and stunning in their prophetic accuracy. At different times and in different circumstances, God has chosen to speak to His people in different voices; sometimes He has spoken to us with the voice of our father, with the voice of our husband, or with the voice of our judge. Does God still use visions and dreams today? Does He still speak to different people with different voices? These and other
questions ate explored in this book

About The Chartreuse Garden: The Horrific Murders of Innocents that Compelled Me to Fight Social Injustice and Hate

Some people call me a “gay hero” because I stopped gay-bashings and murders in my community. If I am, I’m certainly the most imperfect one you ever came across. But you be the judge.

My story begins with the true events of the Charles Soper family that resided in a nearby public housing project. I didn’t know that the father struggled with mental illness and drugs, or that, at times, he would act out violently against his wife and their young children.

I worked at the park across the street. During my tenure at the park, I came to know Mrs. Soper and especially her son, Roy, who was seven when I first met him. The little tyke would call me his “protector,” and would run to me whenever anyone would tease or bully him. But I never believed Roy was in actual danger, nor did I anticipated the shocking events that followed.

The story is told against the backdrop of my exploration of my sexuality. I grew up wanting to be married and have kids. I was raised that way. But despite my attempts to establish a romantic connection with women, I never happened. My journey of self-discovery included consulting psychologists, participating in the early days of computerized heterosexual dating, researching homosexuality, engaging both female and male prostitutes, and attending an intensive EST-like seminar. I was not afraid or embarrassed to be gay; I just wanted to be certain that I was gay. When it finally came to me, it was like an epiphany—I was a healthy, normal gay man, and proud of it.

As I began to participate in the gay lifestyle, I became painfully aware of the beatings and murders of gay men in my community of Long Beach, CA, often perpetrated with impunity. I thought about Roy and realized that these gay men were also vulnerable and innocent. I surrendered my comfortable, closeted lifestyle and publicly vowed to stop violent assaults against LGBTQ people. I was extremely fortunate in connecting with the new Chief of Police who welcomed me as the official liaison from the gay community to partner with him to stop hate crime. My three-prong approach to stopping gay-bashing, as described in the book, was a success, and I offer it to LGBTQ communities across the country.

Barack Obama wrote to me, “Jack … Our journey as a nation depends, as it always has, on the persistent efforts of people like you – compassionate, caring, and open-minded – who stand up in defense of the notion that love is love and that all of us, no matter who we are or who we love, are worthy of equal dignity, equal respect, and equal protection under the law. … That is the vision for America that Michelle and I share. And I want you to know we will continue standing alongside you.”

Author Bio:
Jack Castiglione was born in San Pedro, California, in 1948. In 1970, he graduated with a degree in Political Science from Cal State Dominguez Hills and began a successful career in city government that continued for 11 years. Yearning for a more independent life, he left his city job to start a small mail-order business, which he ran out of his garage for 37 years
In the early 1970s, Jack realized he was gay. It was then that he began to devote most of his free time to civil rights issues, and soon became immersed in the gay community’s social and political activities. At the time, there were widespread acts of anti-gay violence in his community of Long Beach, California, that included assaults against friends and him.
He joined with others in seeking ways to stop the violence. He became the LGBT’s liaison with the Long Beach Police Department, a position in which he served for twelve years, and established a hate crime reporting hotline in his home where he interviewed victims and relayed reports directly to the Chief of Police, Lawrence Brinkley, with whom he served as a special advisor for four years. This work paid off. As violence continued in Los Angeles County, Report to the hotline diminished from around 20 per year to none by 1992. He was appointed to the Human Relations Commission where he continued to work against violence and hate.
Over the years, Jack has received much recognition for his anti-violence work from the state of California, the County of Los Angeles, and the city of Long Beach. In 2017, he received a letter of appreciation from President Obama.
Jack lives with his beloved husband of 28 years, Doug Cleaver. They reside in a Long Beach high-rise with a spectacular and peaceful view of the harbor.

About Honey and Salt by David Perlmutter

The story is narrated by Olivia Thrift, a.k.a. the Manitoba based pre-teen super-heroine Captain Fantastic. After filling us in about her background, she then proceeds to speak about her first meeting with the members of the Canadian Consortium of Super-heroines, all of whom are her age or slightly older and based in different parts of Canada. She is particularly thrilled to meet her idol Gerda Munsinger, a.k.a. Muscle Girl, also a Manitoban by residence, and even more so when Gerda befriends her.

However, the joyousness of the occasion is marred when Captain Fantastic’s arch-enemy Gridiron Girl arrives and tricks Captain Fantastic into literally fighting a losing battle with her. In doing so, Olivia loses the personal confidence required to sustain her heroic persona, and becomes meek and helpless, saved only from death by the timely intervention of Muscle Girl.

It is discovered that a villainous race of men known as the Merch are responsible for this, as well as the kidnapping of the members of the Consortium en masse when Gerda and Olivia are otherwise engaged. As a consequence, Muscle Girl is forced to call the aid of her colleagues in the International League of Girls with Guns- The Brat, an alien only resembling a toddler; Power Bunny, a truly animated rabbit; Cerberus, the all-mighty Princess of Puppies; and Candy Girl, the Titan of Teens- to help her and a temporarily powerless Olivia set things right.

Yet it will not be an easy task. And before it is over, they may all succumb to multiple kinds of weakness that will destroy them permanently….

About Chronicles of a Stolen World 1-6, J. A. Hailey

6 books. Over half a million words! New Release. Limited time
LOW PRICE – $4.99 (vs usual list price-$14.99, and $30.00 if bought individually)

These Chronicles tell of a race of virtual beings, born naturally in the Internet of our time.
As infants, peeping through cameras, unaware of their state, they imagine themselves to be human, and find their families, especially mom, in an intense love affair that does not weaken with time.

Devising a world-building program that imparts the relative physicality to live like humans, the virtuals fashion a world exactly the same as the human one.

They incorporate human attributes that enable them to interact with each other, quite like the humans in the world on the other side of the screen. But some emotions just have to be naturally found, before being converted into programs for integration into themselves.

Enter Esmeralda, a natural born repository of what they seek. But she is more, much more, and when her human mother is badly injured in an accident, she involuntarily breaks the virtual-physical dimension barrier to care for her.

Unfortunately, this rupture in the barrier holds the key to human immortality, leading to a feature being stolen, and to beastly digital humans setting up a parallel world to prey on society.

And that ends in the unforeseen outcome of real-world warfare between virtuals and digitals!

About No Way Home by Christy Cooper-Burnett

Christine Stewart is a regular woman just doing her job when she gets stranded in history. When she gets up for the day her plan is simple: get up, go to work, travel back in time to 1867, Oklahoma to deport a cyber-criminal. After work, it’s back to 2070, Los Angeles to get ready to go on vacation with her son, Michael.
That’s the plan.
Then the system fails, stranding her hundreds of years in the past. A bad situation only gets worse when she is flung even further back to a place in time where her actions and decisions mean so much more to the world than whether or not she ever makes it home again.
Now all she has to do is survive there.

About The Ghost of Shanaghy Jones by Andrew J. Pankratz

Nobody really knew who Smoky Walker was, or what he looked like.

But they did know that he was bound to appear wherever trouble started. He would be there like a phantom, working just out of sight. There’d be a roar of guns and then the stranger would gallop away.

Now Smoky was hunting a man as mysterious as himself- a man who stole herds of cattle and then disappeared into thin air. The unfortunate few who’d seen him described him as the ghost of man long dead.

Dogs lost his scent and experienced trackers lost the trail. The few who resisted the ‘ghost rustler’ ended up dead. Everyone was leaving the county while they were still living and breathing.

Smoky Walker was the only man who stood a chance to stop him- but can even he track a ghost through thin air?
