The Autobiography of Jimmy Lee.
Jimmy Lee has led some sort of life!
He had a start in life few would have survived; he was taken into care at three years old and by the time he was eleven he had moved home ten times and attended nine different schools.
His early adolescence was hard by any standards. At fourteen, he ran away to join the Royal Navy and was sent, along with 2000 other boys, to the notorious HMS Ganges at Shotley, in Suffolk, a training establishment where a harsh regime held sway.
He had the misfortune to be placed under the care of two particularly brutal instructors, prone to drunkenness, whose continual bullying and abuse proved too much for his emerging free spirit.
Jim fought back and deserted on numerous occasions. Among his many punishments, he suffered ‘cuts’, a particularly brutal form of naval punishment. The next six years passed with regular naval detentions in the Royal Naval Detention Quarters, Portsmouth, involving exhausting routines and solitary confinements, which ended with a twelve month sentence in the infamous HM Military Prison Corradina, Malta, after which he was dismissed from the Service and returned to civilian life.
Then his troubles really began!
Winner of 20 book awards, SHOT DOWN is set within the framework of World War II in Europe and recounts the dramatic experiences of each member of a ten man B-17 bomber crew after their plane, piloted by the author’s father, was knocked out of the sky by German fighters over the French/Belgium border on February 8,1944.
Some men died. Some were captured and became prisoners of war. Some men evaded capture and were missing in action for months before making it back to England. Their individual stories and those of the courageous Belgian people who risked their lives to help them are all different and are all remarkable.
Even before the dramatic battle in the air and the subsequent harrowing events on the ground, the story is informative, insightful, and captivating. Prior to the fateful event, the book covers the crew’s training, their journey to England, what life was like on base as well as in London and the English countryside, and the perils of flying combat missions over occupied Europe and Germany.
Through personal letters, oral and written accounts, declassified military documents, and interviews – all from people who took part in the events that happened over 70 years ago (even the German Luftwaffe pilot who shot down the Susan Ruth) – the stories come alive. Adding to the feeling of “being there”, are more than 200 time period photographs interspersed throughout the book.
To add background and context, many historical facts and anecdotes about and surrounding World War II are entwined throughout the book so that the reader has a feel for and understanding of what was occurring on a broader scale. SHOT DOWN is an account about brave individuals, featuring pilot Howard Snyder, set within the compelling events of the greatest conflict in world history.
An American family in crisis and how they deal with it. An aging WWII veteran with dementia, a pregnant daughter bein stalked by her meth using boyfriend, and a preteen becoming a teenager are what we see. Behind the scenes, a greater crisis is gathering as an old enemy of one of the family gets ready to take revenge from his post as manager of a security firm contracted to the NSA. By the end of the story you will be wondering who has your information and what are they going to do with it. Available in both Kindle and paperback.

For the record, this is not a “John Parker hates white people” book. Anybody who knows me at all knows that to be the farthest thing from the truth. This book is meant to spark (if you so desire) an open, honest and painfully true conversation about the most polarizing subject in American society; Race and Racism. My hope is that after reading it (both white people and black people alike) will seek to find common ground and understand that we do have two different cultures and that we can “disagree without being disagreeable.”
If we are to succeed as a country in the future, it is time that everybody “got comfortable being uncomfortable”

On the morning of October 08 2015, Alpha Intercontinental Flight AHA 113 was approaching Cape Town International Airport at 09:15 in the morning. It had originally departed New York the previous night on schedule. From New York it traveled to Dubai and after its regular stop for refueling and fresh catering etc, it departed Dubai and fourteen hours later, approaching Cape Town and due to touchdown in the next ten minutes, simply vanished from both visual sight and radar. It was not the only disappearance of aircraft in the surrounding space.
But, it is the one I know about.
Flight AHA 113 was never seen or heard from again, despite extensive rescue efforts mounted. No wreckage was ever found, no traces of luggage were ever seen. It was as if Flight AHA 113 had simply never existed.
But … Flight AHA 113 had existed. It did in fact crash into the sea, close enough to land that while 237 passengers perished either as a result of the crash itself or trying to make it to shore, 28 survivors eventually made it to safety.

This is my second book called “All those Tears we can’t see” which addresses a lot of topics – immigration, opportunity, spirituality, myth, wisdom, class, customs, poverty, corruption and physical assault in India. It is a story of India and USA. The book displays these two countries under microscope so that we can see clearly the differences between beliefs and way of life in each country and began to understand the challenges immigrants face. It was difficult and traumatic for Samantha (The immigrant in my book) to leave everything behind and start a new life where the language, culture, traditions, morals, beliefs and everyday way of life are totally foreign. To assimilate into a new country while still retaining one’s culture and beliefs, as Samantha puts it that it is her destiny to come to this wonderful country to serve her even though it is not her country.
“All Those Tears We Can’t See” is also a story of a first generation Indian-American girl and how she figures out her life and finds out that she has love for both sides of her cultures. We follow Monica, who believes that she is all American at heart, even though both her parents are Indian. Although she loves both her parents and respects their beliefs and their customs wholeheartedly, there is a cultural gap that seems to never fill. Samantha and Monica both like the Spirituality, wisdom, music, dance, cousin and ancient culture in India but do not like many customs like dowry system, corruption in all level, poverty and marriage system. When English left India many families still followed the English culture in their household. Now the modern India brought many technologies to enhance middle classes wealthy life. The fragile and loving relationship between daughter and mother broken over interracial relationship with an American boy named Brandon because her mother feared that her Bengali culture will be lost. To understand her mother better Monica now a journalist undertook a remarkable journey to India from her job assignment in finding out about her mother’s root that resists all American value and culture. In India, Monica, thought she had found her own identity as an American, as she describes it “she is all American in heart” but she was partially wrong. She fell in love and felt attachment, and was fascinated by Indian people and their spirituality. Later when she faced physical assault (based on 2012 gang physical assaults in Delhi, India) everything went upside down for the whole family and Samantha chooses the ultimate justice for her daughter. What will happen now? Can Monica go back to America and share her new found love with her mother and Brandon? Will she even get the chance?
With all those tragedies there was a silver lining in this book when Samantha realizes that love between two people had no boundaries. She made a big mistake by pushing her daughter to think like her eastern belief but Monica has grown up with western belief and morals. Would Samantha embraces and accepts Brandon who was Christian as her own family by breaking her predefined set of value about race and religion?

Never having had any problems with his past charges, Maximillian finds himself struggling to get his current charge, King Óláfr the Black, to accept his soulmate Magnus, a lowly servant. The connection is strong between them, but the changing times that Manannán witnessed and the introduction of Christianity had Óláfr struggling to accept his soulmate.
Ignoring the dire warning from Christina, his Wiccan guide, about interfering, Maximillian finds himself creating ripples from his actions with untold consequences that cause devastation. As he is left to wander this earth, his role irrevocably changed by his actions. He must now ensure promises that were made are honoured, no matter the length of time that passes.
Can he help fulfil those promises made by another without breaking the rules again? Or will the souls searching for love be destined to never find each other?
Only time will tell.

Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening is Bill Geringswald’s attempt to put our beautiful world back on track. Bill Geringswald’s chief role in life has been to identify issues in companies and put them right. With this book, he puts that experience, knowledge and skills to work for the world.
We all know that this world needs fixing. However, there’s a distinct lack of blueprints for us to follow. But, when you put Bill Geringswald’s business experience to work on the world’s issues, Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening is what you get.
He poses that well-known theory, that we have the tendency to do the same things over and over again, but expect different results and realises how insane this notion is. In Infinite Possibilities – A Spiritual Awakening Bill Geringswald’s covers four areas:
-
Foundations – Life Passages: In human terms, we need to understand the world we experience has been created by man’s free will. Today’s events serve as a ‘push-back’ to our collective consciousness. We can reverse it anytime we choose.
-
Inner Workings – Generational Slide: Every day our perceptions and decisions based upon them bring about the lifestyle we experience. What we empower in the world, we become.
-
Infrastructure – A Kaleidoscope: Everything we experience acts as a guiding message from God. When following God’s guidance, all is possible. Here, I’ll provide a plan of action for our nation’s future.
-
Choices—Empowering Prosperity: Each one of us can choose to focus on specific events to happen in our lives. Our choices draw people and situations into our lives. When in God’s will the extraordinary becomes ordinary.

EDITORIAL REVIEW-
Which line stood out from all the others in the book?
“He once confided in me that he would prefer to die standing up.” The reason for this, he was told, was “So the world would know that I managed to stay busy on my last day… or that I died trying.” In the end, Percy Miller got his wish.
The book The Plainview Lottery by Markas Dvaras is an interesting read. I found this book very reminiscent of a young adult novel I read many years ago called The Wish Giver by Bill Britain. In both stories, the authors are trying to teach the reader a lesson on human behavior. Each time the easiest route turns out to be the one of most peril. The book starts off with the introduction of mysterious strangers to a nearly perfect town. The strangers introduce a new concept, the lottery. The lottery slowly wheedles its way into everyone’s lives and brings the town to its knees creating litter, layoffs, and laziness. The town never discovers the origin of the strangers or how they were able to do what they did in the time period given. As predicted with any lottery, no one wins the enormous pile of gold and overnight the men and gold disappear. The town slowly returns to normal with a greater appreciation of what they had. The connections between the last two chapters or short stories mostly point out and reinforce those lessons that were learned and that the reader may have missed. I did find that Dvaras’ overuse of the verb ‘was’ weakened his prose just a bit. This story took a hard look at society as a whole and how “we are the generation that would rather just sit there.”

How Could a Lottery be a Mistake?
Welcome to Plainview– a town with everything going for it, and with none of the problems one would expect to see in a typical American town. No poverty, no homelessness, no unemployment– not even a litter problem.
But all that changes when five mysterious strangers show up in the town square one day, pulling a wagon-load of gold bars behind them. They’re going to run a lottery for Plainview, with the gold as the grand prize. With little discussion, Plainview readily agrees– and that’s the first in a series of hilarious mistakes.
Is the Lottery a Scam?
Now meet James Henderson– he’s an award-winning journalist for Plainview’s local paper, The Plainview Review. He suspects they are being swindled after he notices there are no winning numbers being drawn. Yet the residents of Plainview are becoming obsessed, and soon start losing their jobs while focusing on the gold bars.
Can James prove anything for his article? Can he stop his hometown from succumbing to “Lottery Fever?” Does it even matter?
A satire on economics and the human condition, The Plainview Lottery will have you rethinking how money is supposed to work.
ROCK IS DEAD THEY SAY. . . VOL. I explores rock ‘n’ roll’s history, with a focus on rock’s early ’90’s “last wave” as the National Soundtrack, before becoming the B-side to Hip Hop. Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Joey Kramer (Aerosmith), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), and Kosmo Vinyl (the Clash’s major-domo and occasional manager) bare their rockin’ souls in never-before-published COMPLETE interviews, spurred on by the probing questions of writer Mark Barsotti, ex-music critic for Denver’s Westword, whose work also appeared in Musician, D.J. Times, Request, Livewire, Syracuse New Times, Bad News and New Times (Miami).
Highlights from the original stories intro the long form interviews, which are followed by a “Re-Listenability Index” and the writer’s current take, two decades into the 21st Century.
Barsotti’s passionate, sometimes outrageous opinions also crackle through features on AC/DC, censorship, the ’60’s vs. the ’80’s, loads of album reviews, rock’s greatest movies, and his unique take on the past and future of rock ‘n’ roll. . . if – facing the coming Great Die-Off of the ’20’s – it still has one.
But hey. . . What can a poor boy do but TURN IT UP!
“Every party plate of cocaine strapped to a midget’s head cost 10,000 days of dogged, road warrior work, as bands schlepped to gigs in overcrowded vans with no ac but plenty of beer farts and insane drummers explaining that Jackie killed JFK (or maybe it was the Masons). Rockers worked their asses of, wooing their muse and chasing the dream, even if precious few ever rose to penthouse cocaine-midget status. So who better to tell the story than the musicians themselves?”

BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF THE VIETNAM VET WAR HERO, KNOWN AS THE “AMERICAN GANGSTER” WHO RAN A COVERT CIA OPERATION AND EMERGED AS VIETNAM’S ‘OSKAR SCHINDLER’
A great historical fictional work on ‘Vietnam’s mobbed-up late 1960s – 1970s Saigon, Pearl of the Orient, Vietnam, “American Gangster – Operation Beaucoup Dinky Dau”
In the best-selling tradition of the world’s master historical fiction storytellers, Mario Puzo’s, “The Godfather”; Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried”; Winston Groom’s Forrest Gump; Victor Hugo’s, “Les Misérables”; Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace”; Norman Mailer’s, The Naked and The Dead; Gore Vidal’s Lincoln: A Novel; and Graham Greene’s “The Quiet American”
Steve Murphy, Network TV and Documentary Film Producer, Writer, and Combat Vietnam Veteran, tells the extraordinary story of a never before told, top secret covert CIA operation, known only as “OPERATION BEAUCOUP DINKY DAU”, that served as the unofficial covert Logistics operation to the CIA’s Phoenix Montagnard fighters, fighting the North Vietnamese forces during 1968-1973.
“This I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-fiction” tale has it all: a Marlboro- Man handsome Vietnam War Hero, a parade of impossibly gorgeous women, sex, spies, copious quantities of booze, drugs, and enough violence to take Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Terminator scriptwriters through several more sequels. It’s both a rip-roaring expose and harrowing.
It’s the story of the underbelly of the Saigon metropolis like few others. Corrupt Generals, shady Politicians, gangsters, prostitutes, bootleggers, opium addicts, jazz musicians, deserters, black marketeers, and your run of the mill criminals, murderers, thieves, and con artists….
Casting light on the Federal Government’s links with organized crime and how a highly decorated American MAT Team Advisor Vietnam Veteran, Johnnie Walker, known in Saigon, as “The America Gangster”, became Saigon’s most successful Criminal Mastermind, as well as the most influential “unofficial” Defense Attaché Office (DAO) “Contractor” to the CIA’s Phoenix Program, and the owner of the famous supper club and casino, “Beaucoup Dinky Dau”, and who had unparalleled connections leading all the way up to Vietnam’s Presidential palace and the CIA.
It’s a story most Americans have never heard of and shines a new and disturbing light on the role of the United States in the creation of communist Vietnam, and their treatment of the indigenous tribes that fought for the CIA’s Phoenix Program.
Johnnie Walker dominated Saigon’s War profiteering, Black Market, Money Laundering, and Drug Trafficking for all the major Vietnamese Crime Lords Generals in Saigon, as well as for South Vietnam’s President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu, and Air Marshall /South Vietnam’s VP, Nguyễn Cao Kỳ.
His astounding metamorphosis from criminal mastermind to Vietnam’s ‘Oskar Schindler’ began in 1968 when he discovers that Washington intends to abandon his friends and former MAT Team CIA Phoenix program Montagnards, “The Yards”, fighters that he’d fought side by side with as a MAT Team Advisor in Pleiku. He loved “The Yards” and the War Orphans the Yards took care of, and he was going to make sure he did the “Right Thing” for them.
It was an amazing turnabout for the once money-hungry Walker, because even though he did not begin his journey as a hero, by the time the war was winding down, he became one. He used his cunning to bend the system to help him and his over 600 Yards and 100 Orphans escape Vietnam. He was strong in the face of constant danger and double-cross, and he placed the well-being of The Yards and Orphans above his own well-being.
Based on real historical events, the suspense and intrigue of the story carries larger-than-life qualities and heightened reality. It’s about 90% historical basis and 10% creative license, but it adds up to 100% spellbinding story. It has more political intrigues, more suspense, more intense psychological analysis, and more technological know-how than anything Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum could fantasize about.
And it has something else besides: It’s based on a true story, depicts the courage and shrewdness of an unlikely savior, a man who is a flawed mixture of hedonism and decency and who, in the presence of unutterable evil, transcends the limits of his own humanity, and the pragmatic triumph of good over evil, a triumph in eminently measurable, statistical, unsubtle terms.
Set in his adopted hometown, Saigon, Vietnam, where he spent over six years, American Gangster – Operation Beaucoup Dinky Dau, is the book that Steve Murphy has been building up to for his whole career. From its opening fusillade to its astonishing conclusion, it’s that rarest of literary creations: a book that combines spectacular elegance of craft with a kinetic wallop as fierce as the Monsoons and Tsunamis bringing torrential rains to the Pearl of the Orient.
This is a story of love, laughter, hopes and shattered dreams. Happiness, passion, humor and self-discovery are interwoven in a candid, provocative, and romantic way. It captures the life of Aurelia, taking you thru WWII and ending in the U.S. where her parents’ values conflict with the culture of modern America…. http://amazon.com/Desire-Red-Wine-Lifes…/dp/1600478271 … … … … Trailer: http://youtu.be/R8hmF58s8Vk

This quote is from Chapter One of my newly released book, Perfect Love. This book is for the broken and the brokenhearted.

Well, this is the situation Joe Frost has found himself in. Brought in to help solve a five-year-old case, enemies around every corner, and a police chief that wants you out of town. But these are minor things when he is faced with the true horrors that await him. The games that the killer will play with Joe’s mind will take him down a road that will change him forever. Question is, will he stop the killer before it’s too late?
Nicole Holston is a sanctimonious and wealthy entrepreneur who lives a life devoid of romance—that is, until the moment she stumbles upon the allure of the enigmatic lesbian prostitute named Zoey Bonet, an employee of the Gold Star lesbian matchmaking service. When the two women meet at a formal ball intended to raise money for the local LGBTQ teen center, their initial encounter is anything but friendly. Even so, Nicole finds herself drawn to the ebony-haired Zoey, despite their wildly differing positions in life. Thanks to the interest of Nicole’s business partner, Savannah, and Zoey’s friend and coworker Heidi, they begin a rocky but nonetheless carnal journey together. As Nicole and Zoey endure the ups and downs of a tumultuous relationship, only time will tell whether they’ll be able to find happiness with one another. Set against the enticing backdrop of a high-end West Hollywood lesbian brothel, this novel tells the story of two women from different social classes who discover lust and love together.
Guardians of Light, 1
Strength can be drawn from pain…if the heart can heal faster than it bleeds.
Dara Khan Androcles was trained from childhood to be a healer. But as a demon-possessed invader threatens Safehold, and she defends a wounded warrior on the battlefield, her hidden inner dragon thirsts for blood.
When she lifts the warrior’s blond, blood-encrusted hair away from his ear, she discovers he is more than King Hengist’s outlander ally. He is an immortal. The elven heir to the throne of Cymry.
Loren ta Cedric senses something different about flame-haired, falcon-eyed woman who saves him. A healer, wreathed in raw, dark power, who wields knives with deadly skill. A mortal who prays to the Lady, not the human gods. Now he owes this thoroughly distracting female a Life-Debt. Which, in the heat of their flight to Loren’s homeland to raise an army, somehow becomes Life-Mate.
Dragon-human and elf, peasant and prince, logic says they have no future. Yet the power of their unlikely bond could be the only thing that saves their world from a demon poised to tear it apart.
Warning: This new twist on Cinderella contains a grouchy dragon, a sentient war mare with the dry wit of a certain English Dame, and a fiery heroine who strikes serious sparks with a mercenary elf.

Poplar Hill
by Stephen Ramey Glines

book review by Toby Berry in U.S. Review of Books
“The Depression and the War colored the rest of our lives, my whole generation.”
Kitty Stevenson resided in Germany before WWII as an American socialite, a woman somewhat oblivious to the worst of the Nazis, as if seeing it too closely prevented its clear focus. She managed to leave Nazi Germany on the last boat to New York, arriving just days before the Germans invaded Poland. Now, in Nova Scotia, Canada, she is dying of heart failure, determined to tell her life story to her best friend. This story inside of a story lets readers get to know the delightful main character, Stevenson, when she is both young and old. Glines skillfully weaves the two stories together. Seamlessly, readers go from the 1930s to the 1990s as Stevenson lives her daily hospice life and her memories aloud.
World War II historical fiction has been written in many forms, but penned from the perspective of a naive, young American woman is unique. Likewise, end-of-life stories are plentiful, but from the calm, matter-of-fact, optimistic Kitty Stevenson’s perspective, readers get a taste of the scene as “splendid altogether,” at least in a bittersweet way. Poplar Hill is a northern rural area not far from Halifax, and the descriptions of the rough life and energy it takes to exist up there is a story in itself. “Rescuing Kitty Stevenson had become a county-wide effort…The highway department was going to get the causeway open…then start on Scotch Hill…with two plows and five salt trucks.” Wartime choices made, secrets, guilt, and living life like you mean it are all themes explored in this deep novel. But it isn’t just the “what” but the “how” that makes this book exemplary. A truly professional writer touches deeply, and when Glines describes Stevenson’s bedside last breaths, a tissue box is highly recommended.
Addiction is a serious matter and Jason is slowly learning that lesson.
Jason Young is the newest member of the Riverside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, which is just about as terrible as it sounds, if you ask him. He doesn’t see why the judge sentenced him to the podunk town of Escape, Colorado. The center is outside of town near Crimson Ridge, cut off from the outside world, because no one wants to be associated with it. He may only be there an agonizing 6 months until he turns 18, but that doesn’t make it any better. He just hopes it’s bearable.
Everything begins to change once he meets Tabitha Blackwell.
She’s been there for a few months now, having spent her 17th birthday cooped up between the walls of the girls’ cabin. She talks about finally being free and one day getting away from Riverside. There’s a dark side to her that Jason’s drawn to, but sometimes a person’s dark side isn’t what you think. Their inner demons may be similar, but it’s difficult to tell whose are screaming louder.
Action! Adventure! Space opera!
Mykl d’Angelo, skipper and owner of the loderunner Pegasus, had fallen on hard times – and he’d just had the worst day of his life in that field. Due a minor misunderstanding, his crew had stolen the “Short Shit” – the ship’s only shuttle, leaving him and two others behind to crew the ailing (and now understaffed) loderunner on their own. As if that weren’t bad enough, just a few hours later, the rickety old ship literally lost its stardrive in the middle of the middle of nowhere. To add insult to injury, Mykl’s two remaining crewmen were killed in the explosion. Marooned alone in deep space, Mykl d’Angelo counted his blessings, offered prayers to any gods who specialized in miracles, and prepared to await (A) seemingly unlikely rescue, or (B) a lingering death.
In the meantime, as though in answer to d’Angelo’s pleas, a starship of the Imperial Space Fleet had been dispatched to investigate the mysterious silence of a remote starbase nearby. Rescue takes place, but at a price – taking into consideration Mykl d’Angelo’s past service in the Fleet – and his not insignificant knowledge and experience of Corsairs, he quickly finds himself re-activated in an advisory capacity. Proceeding at full alert, the Antares prepared for the worst – that is, the probability that the lost starbase had been attacked and destroyed by Corsairs… space pirates who dominate the space lanes and whose bloody choke-hold on interstellar trade overshadowed the last 100 years of Human history.
Seemingly by sheer coincidence, their paths cross with a legendary and fearsome Corsair – a man whose name sent shivers running down the spines of lesser men. Blachart… Blachart the Bloody.
“Blachart” is book 1 in the Galaxii Series by Christina Engela.
Cindy-Mei, who until recently had been Agent Winter, C.I.A. – that’s Colonial Intelligence Agency – had been one of their best agents… that is, until they threw her out for coming to work in a dress.
After that disappointing and sudden end to what had been a promising career, Mei rewarded herself with a long relaxing vacation in the outback to celebrate her gender reassignment and her new start in life. The first stop on her journey turned out to be a little backwater planet called Deanna…
As a third-rate colony in the Terran Empire, Deanna had more than its fair share of dull moments… Dull – but also definitely weird… Deanna orbited a star called Ramalama – and if you think that’s funny, Deanna’s two moons were called Ding and Dong, respectively. (This was a local joke.)
When a single Ruminarii Hammerhead – the first seen by Humans in over eighty years, arrived to invade the small backwater Terran colony of Deanna, rather than cowering in their basements or running away, the ordinary people of Atro City headed to the spaceport to meet the aliens when they landed – and grabbed anything remotely resembling a weapon on the way out the door!
As bombs fell on Atro City, Cindy-Mei found herself in exactly the right place at the right time – but what should she do? She’d hoped to put her violent and somehow depressing past behind her, but now it seemed her new beginning (and her holiday) were going to have to wait! The Gimp were back, and this was no time to be a sissy! She faced seemingly insurmountable odds in the midst of panic, hysteria – falling sherry – and people hiding under furniture! What would she do?
Thankfully, with the assistance of an alien walking, talking plant called Fred, a local bounty hunter called Beck the Badfeller – and the Skeggs Valley Dynamite Fishing Club, she wouldn’t have to find out alone.
“Quite simply, Christina Engela is one of the best voices in sci-fi right now and to not read her work would be to miss a treat!” – Mark Woods, author of Time of Tides and Fear of the Dark.
“Black Sunrise” is the first book in the Quantum Series by Christina Engela.
When an alien spaceship gets disabled by a man-made satellite, General Luke Barnes will put together a team consisting of three astronauts to venture on an Apollo mission. The two astronauts called John Miller and Michael Smith are tasked to capture that spaceship and exterminate the alien inside. Everything is about to change when the third astronaut called James Barkley finds out the truth about the Apollo mission. James soon finds himself in a twisted situation which he has to choose to trust the alien instead of his crewmates.
Deborah is a reader and writer of animal lives. She thinks people need to search in their souls and find the sacred place where inspired movement begins as a force to be reckoned with. As she addresses the staggering debacle of animal rights, Deborah brings readers to the edge of their seemingly fluid existence, bringing to attention the ability everyone has to change and respond to her plea to “save them all.” Readers will experience the character’s imperfect life, her struggle for hope, and her regret of past negligence. Her light-filled spirit will nonetheless bring the truth to bear as she finds the freedom and opportunity to heal and to save all those lives; all worth living. Deborah is an image of humanity in bloom.

This story is about drug addiction. How it controls your thoughts, your body, your life, and leaves you nothing to fight back with. Your mind will go to any lengths, no matter how depraved, to obtain what your body requires. It will show you doors and how to open them, doors that lead to wickedness, corruption and wanton decadence. Doors that lead you to the very bottom, to the very lowest points of life. To the point where you believe your only option is to overdose. For the eighteen years that I was a junkie, I reached that point several times.
My story involves sex scenes, many different illegal activities, police there informers and gangland stories, deaths and murders. Scenes from life in jail. Betrayals. And above all, the unbelievable lengths that junkies will go to to feed their habits.

Time travel through a colorful haze of smoke and you will almost catch a contact high in this funny, witty, and at times terrifying account of a weed smoker who shares his adventures in this riveting narrative. The Blunt Chronicles journeys through three decades of blowing down, blazing up, inhaling, holding, and exhaling as a boy becomes a man in an epic diary of his highest times.
The Blunt Chronicles is a multi-snapshot diary in the life and high times of a young man as he graduates high school, goes off to an Ivy league college and experiences the psychedelic effects of the magical green herb. We follow his ups and downs as a scholar-athlete, engage in his highs and lows as a new stoner, and hold in the anxious smoke during the dangerous situations the author encounters. The storyline continues, as the young man decides against giving up rolling joints to work in law enforcement, but instead goes on to become a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala, Central America, where he becomes a bilingual pothead. His days and nights intensify in a world much different than the urban streets on which he grew up. Returning to the United States, no longer having unlimited access to inexpensive sticky-icky, the chronicles continue as the author begins to lead a double life, balancing a full-time job, a family, and new responsibilities with his ever present love for ganga. There is never a dull moment, as The Blunt Chronicles blends romance, comedy, risky business, and euphoria, hitting and holding readers in a trance, inhaling and exhaling the bong smoke of life.

Into The Mountains
By Dave McGowan
A short story about the aftermath of the Métis Rebellion and an escape to the North West.
It was a moonless, damp night in early summer. I was young then and did not understand that Mother was very worried. As she sat sewing by the lantern light she continued to glance at the cabin door and shift on the bench. Father was still not home.
At that time and for many years after I still believed that our father – our guide and anchor – could do as he chose. I expect that Gabriel, even though he is four years older than I, had similar feelings about the man who was our beginning and ending. As the years passed we both grew to understand how serious Father was about his family and their care. We eventually learned from his teachings that the respected leader is more concerned for those who follow than with him self.
