Hello, my name is Michael Todd and I’m a fun loving guy who writes full time for a living.

Protected by the Damned (and other stories I might place here) are some of my ‘other things’ I work on when I take a break from other authoring responsibilities.

In other words, when I’m playing Hookey.

In order to separate what has become a HUGE wall of books and get a chance to play again, I’ve snuck out of my real author name and built this pen name to have some fun at the small level once more.

I hope you like these stories as we build new fans and family moving forward with Protected by the Damned.

This Coke is for You!

About The Pequot War: A Captivating Guide to the Armed Conflict in New England between the Pequot People and English Settlers and Its Role in the History of the United States of America by Captivating History

The Pequot War (1636–1638) was a short-lived but extremely violent and bloody episode in United States history. This event represents one of the turning points in the entire history of North America, as the war changed the balance of power. The Dutch colonial authorities lost their status of being the dominant economic and political force, while the English took over this epithet. The end of the war also represented the first stage in England’s intensive expansion in that part of the world.
This historical event demonstrates the insurmountable antagonisms between two opposing cultures and perceptions. It was just the beginning of the conflicts between the European settlers and the Native Americans, as the Pequot War allowed the Puritans to have a testing ground so they could examine their military capabilities in the New World and observe the capabilities of the Native American tribes.

About Pick Me, Handsome

It’s all about the money.
Maybe for some, but I’m not interested.
I’d rather work with my hands than spend the billions my father left behind.
The only thing that interests me is the apple orchard he left me. The old thing needs work, and I plan to make it beyond successful.
What I didn’t expect to find between the rows of juicy red apples was a yearning for more. A beautiful single-mom teacher shows up to take her kiddos on a tour of the orchard and I feel things I haven’t felt in a long time.
Mine.
Every cell in my body wakes up with a desire for the strong, independent woman that I want to rock my world.
She’s not into rich guys at all. Fine by me. I look like the gardener anyway.
My secret is safe. For now.
I’m not interested in the money. All I want is the girl.

Her mother screamed, “You’ll regret the day you married him, then never spoke to her again.
Five years went by and Jennifer felt she was the happiest
woman alive. She lived in a beautiful house on ten acres of farmland, with her handsome husband and three beautiful children. One morning Jennifer noticed her son Andrew had a high fever and urgently called their family doctor. He quickly arrives and examines Andrew. His throat and ears are infected. The doctor gives Jennifer medicine that she must give him every four hours. Bill stays by Andrew’s bed during the night and in the early morning, falls asleep. After two hours he suddenly awakens and notices that Andrew is not breathing. The family doctor rushes over, and tells them that Andrew has passed away. Bill blames himself for the death of his son and spirals into alcoholic addiction. Bill disappears and is discovered half-dead in an alley by a faith-healing church’s pastor. Bill has lost his memory and the pastor takes care of him. When Bill regains his memory he returns to

Three years later Jennifer becomes pregnant. Upon discovering her pregnancy, the tribal chief tells Jennifer and Bill, “When your baby is born, I will give you a great honor. I will make your child my own.” They refuse as they do not want to give up their baby. The chief becomes angry and says “It will happen.” Jennifer is hysterical she doesn’t want to give up her baby and they decide to return to the United States. They wire the church for money and are told they must stay. They pay for their passage by working on a freighter as nurse and preacher.

Luke Seavers resides in Charleston, South Carolina along with his wife and three daughters.

Luke is a creative at heart, with a love for writing, music, film, and design. But it is his purpose of serving and empowering the poor that drives him in all of his endeavors.

He and his wife spent time living abroad in Haiti, and eventually founded the non-profit, Home For The Nations. Today, they continue to work amongst impoverished communities there.

These combined passions led Luke into the world of entrepreneurship, starting and building multiple businesses over time.

In sharing this powerful tool, it is Luke's hope that this book is able to empower other world changers to achieve greater focus in their work and life, and ultimately, accomplish their greatest goals and dreams.

About Rosa Mundi

“A cornucopia of spiritual insight and wisdom. Be prepared to go on an adventure of inspiration and awakening.”
~Jodine Turner, Ph.D., Author of “The Hidden Abbey” – JodineTurner.com

As a hospice worker, Tanika is accustomed to the unsettling poignancy of death, but when she finds herself at the bedside of visionary self-help guru Orina Baladin, she is changed forever. Tanika gets that “falling up” feeling, and starts seeing things that others don’t see: auras, glowing orbs, the net of light underpinning all things.

Orina’s followers feel like their whole world is dying. Her grandson, biosystem engineer Bennett is taking it especially hard. Some say he’s just grieving, but even his beautiful childhood friend Willow Acharya worries his depression is so severe he is losing touch with reality.

Tanika sees something more in Bennett’s quite manner, and he seems to see something in her.

Before she passes Orina gives Bennett a centuries-old journal and whispers something in his ear about “the crossing” and “the river.” Despite his father’s protests he sets off on a mountain road trip to fulfill her dying wish. Tanika goes along, to keep him grounded.

Then a shaman appears from beyond the veil. The journal gives up its secrets. Tanika sees things she could never have imagined, and finds herself in possession of an ancient navigational instrument, and a plan to populate a new world with a new species, Homo Spiritus.

Will Willow and the others keep them from finding the place of conjunction in time?

Rosa Mundi is a hopeful meditation on the nature of reality, consciousness, and existence.

Author Bio:
As I write I seek to be an active participant in the exchange of energy and information between the mundane and ethereal worlds. My works, such as The Road to Shambhala and Contact: and Other Impressions, focus on the interplay between these realms and the effect of transcendental experience on subjective reality.

When I finished my first novel, The Eighth House, there was no such designation as Visionary Fiction in the publishing industry. The book didn’t fit the fantasy, adventure or mystery molds, and so it waited on the shelf. It dealt with expanding awareness, meditation, visioning, divination, the return of the Divine Feminine, and evolution toward a unified humanity. Since then I have studied the esoteric teachings of various traditions, and worked to become a more conscious writer.

About Faith over Fear

It can be easy to give up when we cannot find our purpose. Some of us may search and search, yet we struggle to find our God-given purpose due to the many roadblocks along the way. And for Matthew Lemke, declining health and a harrowing brain disorder would make his search all the more difficult. But little did he know that God had a huge plan for his life.

In Faith over Fear, author Matthew Lemke shares his journey to find that purpose and to pursue God’s own heart. Diagnosed with a brain disorder called Arnold-Chiari malformation and a spinal cyst called syringomyelia that would leave him paralyzed, Matthew would face the biggest storm of his life as he endured brain surgery and fought to keep his condition from getting worse. Yet he would come out completely changed. And with God’s help, he would pick himself up from rock bottom and learn to walk again.

We should never give up, no matter the odds. The odds were stacked against this man of faith, and he was faced with choosing faith over fear. But when we choose faith and become dependent on God’s love and strength, he will prove himself in our times of need and show us our purpose.

About The Innocent and the Dead by Robert McNeill

One woman found dead. Another kidnapped. Two cases. Two books. One overworked Scottish detective.

When the body of an attractive young woman is found in woodland on Edinburgh’s iconic Calton Hill, DI Jack Knox quickly establishes that she had worked as a prostitute.

For this reason, getting people who knew her to come forward will prove difficult. Knox will have to cut through their lies, establish a motive and collar the killer.

This is the detective’s dilemma in LABYRINTH, the prequel to a new series of mysteries set in Scotland’s capital.

In THE INNOCENT AND THE DEAD, the second book in the series, DI Jack Knox is called in to investigate a high-profile case. A local distiller’s daughter has gone missing, and when he receives a ransom note, his fears that it is a kidnapping are confirmed.

Knox decides to take a serious risk to capture the abductors, but the stakes could not be higher. The father is wealthy and well-connected. If Knox’s gamble goes wrong, he’ll have hell to pay.

DI Jack Knox is a likeable detective. He likes the odd dram, hankers after his family who are based in Australia, and has a relationship with a colleague he tries to keep under wraps.

THE INNOCENT AND THE DEAD is FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback. It is the first in a series of four murder mysteries by Robert McNeill. The full list is as follows:

1. THE INNOCENT AND THE DEAD
2. MURDER AT FLOOD TIDE
3. DEAD OF NIGHT
4. NOUGHTS AND CROSSES

These books will appeal to anyone who likes police procedurals in a real setting.

Some would call me a little naughty, but I see myself as a writer of spicy thoughts. Being a romance writer is something that I never imagined I would be doing. There is nothing more rewarding than to put your thoughts down in words and share them. I began writing seven years ago and have enjoyed every minute. When I first started writing, I wasn’t sure what I would write. It didn’t take me long to realize that romance would be my niche. I believe that every life deserves a little bit of romance; a little spice doesn’t hurt either. When I am not writing, I enjoy the company of good friends and relaxing with a delicious glass of red wine.

Author Bio:
BECA LEWIS always wanted to be a writer, but there were a few pit stops along the way. She has been a dancer, teacher, stockbroker, financial planner, club dancer (read this any way you wish), waitress, artist, web designer, headhunter (the civilized kind), and a diamond broker to just name a few. All this while trying to be a decent mother to three kids, a step-mother to five more, and a grandmother to the five, almost grown, best-looking grandchildren in the world. All these experiences are the perfect fodder for book writing!

Beca’s non-fiction Shift Series covers the system she developed and has coached for over thirty years. At this point, she is going to claim there is no time, so she doesn’t have to think about age. She’ll show you why you don’t have to either in this practical and inspirational series.

Beca’s fiction explores stories around the concepts of other dimensions, love that transcends time and space, and where good always triumphs over evil.

The best part of writing? Being an introvert on purpose, living in imagination, and then sharing it all with readers and friends.
