The Thank You Economy isn’t some abstract concept or wacky business strategy… and the enhanced edition isn’t just the book – here Gary comes face to face with the reader with exciting video and audio — it’s the way we buy and sell, the way we’re interacting on all levels, at this exact moment. The way our marketplace functions has been evolving right before our eyes, changing into one that places heavy value on social interaction, which means the individuals and brands that “out-care” and “out-love” their competition will see the biggest returns. The businesses harnessing the word-of-mouth power coming from social media, those that can shift their culture to be more customer-aware and fan-friendly, will pull away from the pack and profit in today’s markets. Gary Vaynerchuk will lay out the thoughts, beliefs, and case studies that support this enormous change, covering everything from the consumer to the CEO while focusing on the connections in between.

The Diet Dropout’s Guide to Natural Weight Loss: Find Your Easiest Path to Naturally Thin by Stan Spencer
Genre(s): Health Fitness & Dieting, Diets & Weight Loss, Weight Loss, Diets, Healthy, Weight Maintenance
T his book isn’t about the latest celebrity diet, wonder food, or miracle supplement. It’s about creating a personalized weight loss plan–your own easiest path to naturally thin. While you can lose weight with almost any diet, keeping the weight off is much more difficult, requiring permanent changes in eating and exercise habits. This book provides a science-based approach for making those changes in a way that works best for you, without wasting time, money, or effort.
Dr. Spencer explains why we gain weight and why the fat lost by dieting almost always comes back. He then presents an array of practical weight loss tools for controlling emotional eating, calming cravings, boosting metabolism, and improving nutrition and exercise. In the final chapter he has you create a natural weight loss plan based on your unique set of needs, abilities, and preferences. Simple recipes are provided for weight loss foods that reduce cravings and prolong satisfaction.
What this book offers is a solid approach to weight loss–self-directed, gradual, and lasting–in contrast to the quick but fleeting weight loss offered by most one-size-fits-all diet plans.

Ruby is a remapper: one of the lucky few to be immune to the virus that decimated 90% of the world’s population, one of the brave few who ventures into the dark corners of Hong Kong to see what remains. In the wasteland of Hong Kong, Ruby finds what she’s been looking for, what her father and brother died for: the promise of a viral shelter. But the people who believe that immune blood can cure all are coming for Ruby, to take one of her only currencies in a broken world– her blood. And they will do anything to get to it.
As her memory continues to evaporate from her in the detritus of Hong Kong’s wasteland, a result of the gamma rays that surround her, Ruby knows that the only person to trust is herself, and the only chance at survival is the myth of the viral shelters that lie underground like a whispered promise. As she fights for her life and a chance at tomorrow, will she lose everything in the process?
The love child of Mira Grant’s Feed, Blade Runner, and William Gibson’s cyberpunk world of Neuromancer, Slouching Towards Kowloon is an action-packed thrill ride into the heart of darkness, where people will do anything and be anything for the bleakest, most distant chance at survival.

Refusing initially to confront what he might find in that box, Thomas nevertheless is forced to grapple with a past he has never discussed with any living person and in the process relive those months in Berlin when he discovered, for the first and only time in his life, the full, extraordinary force of true love. But Petra Dussmann, the woman to whom he lost his heart, was not just a refugee from a police state, but also someone who lived with an ongoing sorrow that gradually rewrote both their destinies. A love story of great epic sweep and immense emotional power, The Moment explores why and how we fall in love–and the way we project on to others that which our hearts so desperately seek.

Ghost in the Machine (Corwint Central Agent Files) by C.E. Kilgore
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Fantasy & Futuristic, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Space Opera, Fantasy
“ Love is like a wormhole. You stumble on to it blindly, it sucks you in and takes you somewhere completely unexpected. You can’t fight it, because that would tear your ship apart. You can’t control it, either. All you can do is set your thrusters on glide and let it take you where it’s going to take you.”
Going against the rules of her Vesparian Sisterhood, which seeks to keep its entire existence a secret, Orynn is thrown into the open by a request for help that she could not refuse. Seeking to reconcile past mistakes and gain a forgiveness she feels she does not deserve, the control over her empathic abilities is put to the test when the darkness that lives within her spirit threatens to once again destroy any piece of happiness that she allows herself to find.
As a Mechatronic Automaton, Ethan defines his world through a set of logically defined values and understandings. Encountering Orynn throws his system out of balance as he tries to decide if he should trust the feelings he is developing, or if he should follow the logic telling him that she is trying to control him for some unknown purpose. Should he keep her at a distance despite his want to bring her near, or should he follow the heart he swears he does not have? As his understanding of her develops, he begins to question all of his preconceived notions about both himself and the universe around him.
In his attempts to capture the Vesparian prey he has been hunting after for two decades, the First Commander of the Xen’dari fleet will stop at nothing and track Orynn to the ends of the universe. On a path of vengeance for a past he can’t let go of, he will do everything in his power to burn her world down around her feet until nothing is left but ash and the bitter taste of regret.
Ghosts of the past clash with hopes for the future in this first book of the series, set in a universe where nothing is as it seems at first glance and trust is a highly priced commodity.

The Laughterhouse: A Thriller by Paul Cleave
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Contemporary, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Thrillers, Contemporary Fiction
F rom the internationally bestselling author of Blood Men and Collecting Cooper comes a riveting new thriller about one father’s revenge and another’s fight for survival. Theodore Tate never forgot his first crime scene–ten-year-old Jessica found dead in “the Laughterhouse,” an old abandoned slaughterhouse with the S painted over. The killer was found and arrested. Justice was served. Or was it? Fifteen years later, a new killer arrives in Christchurch, and he has a list of people who were involved in Jessica’s murder case, one of whom is the unfortunate Dr. Stanton, a man with three young girls. If Tate is going to help them, he has to find the connection between the killer, the Laughterhouse, and the city’s suddenly growing murder rate. And he needs to figure it out fast, because Stanton and his daughters have been kidnapped, and the doctor is being forced to make an impossible decision: which one of his daughters is to die first. In The Laughterhouse, the city of Christchurch becomes “a modern equivalent of James Ellroy’s Los Angeles of the 1950s, a discordant symphony of violence and human weakness” (Publishers Weekly). Fast-paced, dark, and intensely clever, this exciting thriller represents a brilliant new chapter in the career of a world-class crime writer.

F or the first time ever… Here’s the “back story” behind 312 real estate agents who learned the Free Internet strategies that immediately boosted their incomes by over 100%….even in THIS market
Now – and I’m going to be brutally honest with you – there are literally thousands of so called “internet marketing” companies out there whose sole goal is to TAKE YOUR MONEY. All of them offer websites and different methods and they all promise to generate customers and leads for you. I know you’ve been called, emailed, harassed, and begged to buy this junk. I have too and I am sick of it.

Agents began leaving the business in 2008 due to the so-called “market downturn”. Why? They had NOT CHANGED their marketing as the consumers changed their behavior. The few agents who had at least some internet presence continued to get leads and business. Those that had always relied upon print advertising saw that their business was going down so what did they do? Spent MORE money on ads. It took me about 9 months of researching, writing, and experimenting and I developed two 3 hour training classes on “How to Use Free Internet Tools to Generate Traffic and Leads”. I even sent the two classes to our State Real Estate Commission and they were APPROVED as CE classes (imagine a course on how to make more money being approved!). I started offering them as CE classes – and guess what happened? The Agents That took the classes and USED the techniques began to get ONLINE leads and Business. The local Board Scheduled a full day for me to teach these 2 classes on March 4th, 2009. The Course Sold out a FULL WEEK before it was scheduled to take place That had NEVER happened before I called a professional film production crew and scheduled for them to be there. It was a tense and exciting day – and the agents that attended absolutely gobbled up the information. And That’s how the “Real Estate Rocket Fuel” Training Course was born

Deep Down: A Jack Reacher Story by Lee Child
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Thrillers, Suspense, Kindle Singles, Fiction
I n thriller master Lee Child’s exclusive eBook short story, Jack Reacher must track down a spy in soldier’s clothing–by matching wits with four formidable females. Three are clean–but the fourth may prove fatal.
Includes a thrilling preview of Lee Child’s hotly anticipated Jack Reacher novel, A Wanted Man!
Summoned by Military Intelligence to Washington, D.C., Reacher is sent undercover. The assignment that awaits him: The army is meeting with its Capitol Hill paymasters for classified talks on a new, state-of-the-art sniper rifle for U.S. forces. But vital details about the weapon are leaking–straight from the Capitol and probably into the hands of unidentified foreign arms dealers. The prospect of any and every terrorist, mercenary, or dictator’s militia getting their hands on the latest superior firepower is unthinkable. That’s where Reacher comes in. His task: infiltrate the top-secret proceedings and smoke out the mole. His target: a quartet of high-powered Army political liaison officers–all of them fast-track women on their way to the top.
According to his bosses, it’s a zero-danger mission. No need to draw a gun . . . just chat over drinks. But Reacher knows that things are rarely what they seem. And he’s learned the hard way never to underestimate an opponent. Or four. Lessons that will come in handy when he starts digging for the truth–and gets his hands a lot dirtier than he expected.
“Child is a superb craftsman of suspense.”–Entertainment Weekly
“The truth about Reacher gets better and better.”–Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Despite all that has been said about writing books, there remains a great misconception among new authors that once a book is published their work is done. The reality is that writing your book is only the first step, and often turns out to be the easiest part of the process.
Of course it’s no secret that the Internet contains a seemingly endless array of free information, not to mention a surplus of “must do” advice, especially when it comes to self-publishing. The problem is the rules of the game keep changing, and a lot of time can be wasted attempting to work your way through that information, determining what’s relevant and what’s not, then creating some sort of organized plan to use it all … and still manage to come out looking professional.
And make no mistake, as fundamental is your writing is to your author “business,” if you want to become known as an author and sell your book, marketing will be up to you.
While anyone with an eBook to sell will benefit from the information contained in this book, fundamentally Boost Your eBook Sales Success is a book about the business of being an author. Newly updated to reflect the latest changes and trends in eBook marketing, it contains a wealth of the latest resources, including “hot” links to over a hundred and twenty sites ready to promote your eBooks, and a “no fluff” road map to bridging the gap between your art as a writer and your business as an author.

The Kinshield Legacy (book 1)
Piers Anthony, best-selling author of the Xanth novels
“…a rousing hard-hitting fantasy adventure.”
SFBook Reviews
“The Kinshield Legacy is a beautifully crafted fantasy work that works so well, perfect escapism and highly recommended.”
Iceberg Ink reviews
“Entertainment plain and simple.”
A mysterious stone tablet with five magical gems has sat abandoned in a cave for two hundred years. The kingdom is in ruins, with only warrant knights to keep the peace. But then, the gems in the tablet, one by one, disappear.
Warrant knight Gavin Kinshield is a man of many secrets. He’s the one deciphering the runes in the tablet. When Gavin saves a woman’s life, what should have been a simple task draws him face-to-face with his nightmarish past… and the truth of King Arek’s demise.
The Wayfarer King (book 2)
Carol Davis Luce, author of Night Passage
“…a riveting fantasy adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
Ray Nicholson, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer
“wonderfully paced…just the right balance of quiet time vs. intense action.”
Having newly claimed the right to rule Thendylath as king, Gavin Kinshield has no money or army, but he’s determined to protect his people from the beyonder attacks. With his new power of Wayfarer, Gavin has the ability to journey to all seven realms. To end the invasion, he must travel to the realm of chaos and summon Ritol. But can he escape before the beyonder champion kills him, devours his soul and takes his place as Wayfarer?
Praise for The Kinshield Legacy
Piers Anthony, author of the Xanth novels
“The Kinshield Legacy is a rousing good fantasy tale, with nice characterization and some ferocious action. These days I read primarily for business rather than pleasure, but I found myself eager to return to this novel.”
Carol Davis Luce, Author of Night Passage
“From the very first page, The Kinshield Legacy grabs you by the throat and propels you into a world of magic, sorcery, jeweled-eyed gargoyles and a sisterhood of female warriors. A world where beyonders savage unsuspecting travelers; where a dark, yet charismatic, wizard covets the king’s throne for his own and will let no one get in his way-including the rightful ruler. He who claims the King’s Bloodstone shall reign as king. Enter Gavin Kinshield, warrant knight and rune solver, a man haunted by his past, and a hero like no other. A rousing debut from K. C. May, an author worth watching.”

A woman of remarkable resourcefulness single-handedly raises a troubled child all the way to manhood in this intimate and inspiring blog-to-book memoir.
At 38, Carolyn Nash had a good job, no apparent struggles and few conscious regrets–save, perhaps, her weight and her childlessness. She remedies the latter by fostering and then adopting 3-year-old Abel, a victim of
unspeakable parental abuse, most of it sexual. The consequences are predictable and agonizing. Abel is charmingly innocent yet uncontrollably violent, and as he grows, so do his PTSD symptoms. He refuses to bathe,
he fails in school. Thrown toys become thrown punches, then smashed windshields. Psychiatrists are consulted, police called. Special education, home-schooling, hospitalizations, meds–all resources are tried and exhausted. Yet Nash remains indefatigable, wrestling with her son (literally) and with her inner demons and repressed memories, haltingly revealed in sessions with her therapist. Through the lens of Abel’s trauma, Nash peers into her own nightmares–she too feels deformed and unlovable–and learns their sick source. The book is structured almost entirely in short, dramatic episodes, a technique Nash uses skillfully… late in the story, when the troubled teen turns violently on Nash herself … we get a
penetrating glimpse into Abel’s beating heart, where his triggers, his alienation and his lifelong struggle come into searing focus. Here Nash gives
us Abel in full, and we see with our own eyes how the measure of this young man is also the measure of the woman who raised him–with pure,
dogged, unrelenting, overwhelming, at times selfish, often desperate, boundless, evergreen love. This was her treatment and her cure. We know it
by its common term–mothering.
A sobering but uplifting tale of love that never gives up; dramatically told, ultimately rewarding.
Nash, Carolyn

Walking Ghost Phase by DC Daugherty
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Psychological Thrillers, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Science Fiction, Adventure
A ll eighteen-year-old Emily Heath wants before college is a summer vacation at the beach. Instead she’s in Washington D.C. at the height of tourist season, looking for an excuse to leave early.
She gets one in the worst way possible; a nuclear bomb destroys a large section of the capital.
Emily wakes up in the hospital. She’s received a massive dose of radiation, her immune system is failing, and she’s going to die unless she accepts Colonel Richard Logner’s bargain: He has a cure, but in return she must agree to participate in a military experiment. The treatment’s side effects include partial memory loss, but Emily wants to live. She accepts his offer and the consequences.
At a military base, Emily joins others like her for team-based combat on a virtual reality battlefield. But this is no video game. When she’s killed in the simulation, she feels all the agony of dying, and the near impossible odds of winning guarantee her a nightly routine of pain.
Only one experiment participant understands how to achieve victory–a young man named Matt–but his solo approach leaves the rest of his squad to die in the virtual world. After Matt tells Emily he can help her, she must decide whether to trust a person no one else does–and most likely sentence her teammates to the nightly anguish–or she can keep trying to win on her own and face the unspeakable torment over, and over, and over.
But even success may not be enough to stop Emily from wondering if she should have chosen death back at the hospital.

H e had to keep moving, that the man instinctively knew. He had to get away, from the rioting, the lawlessness, the killing. Away from the brutal gangs that ruled the highways. Then there was the boy that he found along the way, an orphan with no place to go. He couldn’t leave the child behind; that would be murder. Together they had to make their way across the razed landscape of post collapse America, west to where there was safety, a chance to begin again. If only they survived the journey.
Excerpt: Man had quickly degenerated to the animal instincts of the species and numerous bloody examples could be seen anywhere one looked. For many there were no more limits in this new world as it had only been the law that kept them from robbing or killing or raping each other, and the law was now gone. Only anarchy remained. Rotting murdered corpses littered his street like so much uncollected garbage. The smell was something of nightmares. It was like some bad science fiction movie but all too real. If it had been a movie the man would have found it laughable and changed the channel.
Excerpt: All around the nation it was the same. The rioting and killing started in the densely populated urban areas but quickly spilled into the suburbs and then out into the countryside, the blood following the line of the highways like water obeying gravity. The mob ruled and the mob wanted blood. Now they would have it.

* *From the author of ‘Salt of the Earth’ and ‘An Opportunity for Resentment’**
If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for? If you could go anywhere in time, who would you want to meet?
Toby Riordan receives the gifts of a lifetime — and pays the ultimate price in a loss of someone he holds dear for each gift. In an alcohol fueled depression, sunk as low as a man can go, he calls out to the darkness for someone to hear his pain and help him. When all he perceives is silence, he decides to strike out at the man he blames for the ills of his world — the Carpenter of Nazareth, Jesus the Christ.
Toby lands in the middle of Nazareth of the first century — and meets the young Yeshua ben David. But the closer he gets to the young man, the more he finds that maybe divinity isn’t a fairy tale. That in losing his past, he just might acquire his future. And that finding his faith may be as easy as accepting that he was never really alone to begin with.
‘The Savior’ is the first book in a trilogy of time travel in history and faith. Book two, ‘The Apostle’, is tentatively scheduled for release in 2014. Book three, ‘The Bodhi Tree’ is tentatively scheduled for release in 2015.

W hen Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans, chef and widower Simon Fortier knows how he plans to face the storm–riding it out inside his long-time home in the city’s Treme neighborhood, just as he has through so many storms before. But when the levees break and the city is torn apart, Simon disappears. His son, Julian, a celebrated jazz trumpeter, rushes home to a New Orleans he left years before to search for his father. As Julian crisscrosses the city, fearing the worst, he reconnects with Sylvia, Simon’s companion of many years; Parmenter, his father’s erstwhile business partner and one of the most successful restaurateurs in New Orleans; and Velmyra, the woman Julian left behind when he moved to New York. Julian’s search for Simon deepens as he finds himself drawn into the troubled history of Silver Creek, the extravagantly beautiful piece of land where his father grew up, and closer once again to Velmyra. As he tries to come to grips with his father’s likely fate, Julian slowly gains a deeper, richer understanding of his father and the city he loved so much, while unraveling the mysteries of Silver Creek.

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Fantasy & Futuristic, Time Travel
W hen homely college student Stella Denton and nerdy professor Harry Vale find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time during a convenience store hold-up, the result turns deadly. A ricocheted bullet enters Stella’s brain, causing her to sink into a coma.
But Stella is actually more ‘alive’ than doctors realize. Though outwardly unresponsive, she’s actually ‘awakening’ in Jarmo, an Eden-like paradise that actually existed 9000 years ago.
In this alternate world, the New Stella is beautiful and desirable, while the hunky chief of the tribe turns out to be a notched-up version of her Anthro professor, Harry Vale. Stella flourishes in Jarmo, where Harry teaches her the finer points of sex, romance, and passion.
But is Jarmo and all its delights truly an alternative reality? Or is it just a dream, and Stella the Dreamer? Is her beloved Jarmo (as well as New Harry) nonexistent, just a figment of her severely injured brain? When Stella emerges suddenly from the coma, she must make an irrevocable choice between two lives… one of which may not really exist–and the choosing of which might lead to her obliteration.
An 18+ young adult contemporary romance, DREAMER explores the nature of Reality and Love, showing us that neither are absolutes. And that Reality is what you make it–as is Love.

The Cloak: A Shea Baker Mystery (Volume 1) by Sally J. Ling
Genre(s): Religion & Spirituality, Fiction, Historical, Mystery, Literature & Fiction, Religious Fiction, Christianity, Christian Fiction
W hat if the world was able to access an ancient artifact that would miraculously heal anyone who touched it? Would it be a blessing or a curse?
This question and more face brash, but endearing, freelance writer Shea Baker, as he finds himself hurled headlong into a mystery of biblical proportions in The Cloak.
To some, making this relic available to heal the masses would be an act of compassion. However altruistic, others believe it to be a totally misguided act–one that would instantly fling the world into theological, political, economic and logistical chaos.
What follows is a hunt for the mysterious article from South Florida to Jerusalem by a number of fascinating characters, each with his/her own agenda for wanting to possess it.
An intriguing story, The Cloak takes us on a theoretical ride that undoubtedly will become the catalyst for lively discussions for years to come.
“I’m not into novels, but this one got my attention. Filled with intrigue and
mystery, it grabs history and the 21st century in an embrace that had me
reading with anticipation. I had trouble putting it down. If the writer puts
her pen to more like this one, I may become a new fan of novels.”

Nine Steps to Sara by Lisa Olsen
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Ghosts, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Paranormal, Fiction
E ditorial Review
In this eerie ghost tale, we’re whisked away to an England that isn’t quite so jolly as Sara’s been lead to believe. Newly minted Lady Sara Darling has just gotten the news of a lifetime; she’s inherited a lavish country estate in the south of England. It’s no surprise when things aren’t all as they seem, and soon they’ve got all the earmarks of a genuine haunted mansion. Instead of heading for the hills, plucky Sara decides to find out more about the ghostly relative who haunts the halls of Darling Park, invisible to all but her young son Jack. While Jack isn’t afraid of the mysterious Lady, Sara is troubled by the tragedy she uncovers in her family’s past. With the help of her hilariously self-absorbed friend Joanie, and the charismatic local handyman Will, Sara must hurry to learn the secrets of Darling Park before it’s too late.
Author Lisa Olsen does what she does best in Nine Steps to Sara; offering quick, witty dialogue and memorable characters that breathe life into the reality she’s spun, weaving the present and the past into a seamless tapestry of fiction. Equal parts romance and spine-chilling ghost story, I found myself shouting at the book, the way I do at the best horror movies, scared to death for Sara and her son.
Product Description
When single mom Sara Darling inherits an estate in the remote English countryside, she jumps at the chance to become Lady of the Manor. With 8 year old son Jack and best friend Joanie in tow, they explore the nearly deserted mansion, isolated from the rest of the world except for the nearby village where everybody seems to know her business. Distracted by the charming chauffeur, Will, soon Sara never wants to leave her newfound home.
But the eerie manor house is hiding more than a ruined garden and plumbing issues, and it’s up to Sara to find out what the loyal staff isn’t telling. When Sara finds Jack talking to an empty room, she begins to wonder if she made the right decision uprooting her tiny family as the spooky surroundings fuel her imagination.
Especially when she starts to hear the voice talk back.
Is her ancestor’s unnatural attachment to Jack borne of concern or something more sinister? When she discovers the truth, will Sara accept the legacy she’s inherited, or run for her life?

A Pandora’s Children Single
I have decided to pull five of my favorite stories from my Pandora’s Children collection and release them as $.99 standalone stories.
In “Swim”, a mother faces the consequences of her actions after her three children die in a late night car accident on an icy road (6,000 words)
Please note that this story has been previously published in Pandora’s Children Book 5: Speaking with the Dead ($199) and Pandora’s Children: The Complete Nightmares Book 1($2.99), so if you have read either of those, don’t bother with this. But if you haven’t delved into the Pandora’s Children books yet, and don’t want to spend more than $.99, this is a good place to start.

Seven Strange Years: Real Letters – Strange Stories by R.j Ruud
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Satire, Literature & Fiction, Essays & Correspondence, Letters & Correspondence, Genre Fiction
W aking up in the hospital to find wires snapped to your chest, tubes jammed in your veins, and handcuffs tearing at your wrists is a horrible way to start your day — especially when you don’t remember who you are or how you got there.
That was just the beginning of “Johnny’s” bad day. He was poked. He was prodded. He was told he had done horrible things. Then the cops came and hauled him away. They tossed him in jail with nothing but a notebook full of strange letters he had supposedly written to friends and family. It was a conspiracy of epic proportions. And Johnny’s only hope for proving he’s not the criminal they say he is are the letters an old man claiming to be his father gave him.
Seven Strange Years is a compilation of letters that tell the tales of a mad traveler buzzing around the country wreaking havoc wherever he lands, pieced together in jail as Johnny scours the letters for evidence that might save him from years in prison. And reading letters rife with tales of freedom and adventure is nothing short of torture when you’re stuck in jail.
The Platte River Waltz, Chapters 1-4 by Ken Consaul
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Historical, Romance, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Historical Romance
“ What a wonderful and superbly written account of a journey West!
I was completely absorbed by the remarkable characters and sweeping landscapes- caught so brilliantly by the magnificent writing and plotting!
A winner!!!”
–as reviewed on goodreads.com–
“I have to say that this was one of the best books I have read in the past year. A few minutes ago I ordered [The Growler Brigade], and cannot wait to start reading it. I’m surprised a book this good was self-published..”
–review on Amazon–
“The author has painted a rich landscape onto which he has thrown an diverse group of characters to bring us the start of what promises to be a remarkable series.”
–Amazon, UK–
Set in a panorama of the American West as its portrait is first being painted, The Platte River Waltz is the initial stroke in the unfolding of Josh Bonner’s tale. In 1848, only seventeen years old, on the Oregon Trail and suddenly orphaned, Josh begins a journey through the unsettled frontier of a wild continent. Just making first acquaintance with manhood, he quickly finds his future linked to Elizabeth Hampton, a coquette from his old hometown. Together they resolve to venture into an uncertain and dangerous future. Accompanied by Jubilee, an escaped slave, Josh and Elizabeth join a wagon train of Missouri emigrants led by a voyageur scout and a town constable turned captain. The couple commences a lusty exploration of the lands they pass and of each other.
The scout is the first to recognize the mettle of Josh Bonner, taking the novitiate under his wing. Others in the party, a missionary couple, an adventurous sawbones, and a clan of farmers, quickly recognize the newcomers as a formidable alliance that drives the expedition across the wild prairie. The land, the weather, and human frailty threaten, but cannot daunt their resolve. Populated with compelling characters, colorful dialog, intriguing subplots, and thrilling encounters, The Platte River Waltz explores a period of American history largely bypassed by contemporary historical fiction.
This first installment contains the initial chapters and introduces the characters, settings, and style of the overall work painting them into the backdrop of the western plains at the commencement of the great migration from the civilized East.
AT THE SUGGESTION OF READERS, ‘Bonner’s Road West, the serialized version, has been consolidated into two volumes and a sample. The book has also been graced with a new title, ‘The Platte River Waltz’.
Please note the language and vernacular of the mid-1800s is used throughout and some references might be considered offensive but is incorporated for historical fidelity. The content is for the mature reader, not recommended for children.
