TINY TITAN SAMPLE CHAPTER
By Ann Yurcek
-9-
Christmas
I sunk into despair. The holiday was fast approaching and Christmas was the last thing on our minds with Becca critically ill in the PICU and everyone else sick too. There was no money for gifts, and there was no time to buy or make anything. I was sick, tired and depressed over the circumstances we found ourselves in. If the phone rang, I was afraid to answer it because it might carry the news that Becca was worsening or no longer here. The phone was a constant reminder of trouble. It rang with bill collectors waiting for money. It rang when medical personnel had more dreaded news or another crisis for Becca. My emotions rose and fell like tidal waves, up, up, up and down, down, down. I tried not to think; not thinking was how I coped. It was like the stairs I ran at the hospital, up and down, and then I’d stop and sit, empty and mindless. I could not think about my children going without gifts at Christmas, but our lives were impossibly out of control. We had fallen into a dark hole due to no fault of my innocent children. At any moment they were going to lose their new baby sister. They were caught in the tidal wave of catastrophic illness when they needed a Santa most to give them hope. How would I explain to my children that Santa forgot them?
I was used to planning ahead and beginning in July bought two presents each month to cover birthdays and Christmas. Over the years my frugal plan had worked flawlessly. I squirreled away the hottest toys for Christmas gifts with early season purchases. While other families were school shopping I was making wishes come true. It was a challenge to make my kids birthdays and Christmas memorable. I love the holidays and I began to bargain shop for Marissa’s September birthday gift. I budgeted a little each month until Christmas, finding sale and clearance treasures, completing my shopping race under budget. In November we celebrated Jim, Nathan and Ian’s birthdays followed in December by Matt’s birthday, and then Kristy’s birthday in early January. The gifts I bought with Jim’s carpet points guaranteed the boys November birthday gifts. Matt at age three was easy; all I needed was something big. Big for my little kids were exciting and ten dollars went a long way. Other than that I had nothing. We had already used the house payment money to pay for medicine, throat cultures and doctors visits for the kids and me while we were sick.
I was a rookie in the being broke game. ……
Starring in the Movie of My Life by Laurel Osterkamp
Genre(s): Chick-Lit | Contemporary Fiction
Samantha acts without thinking. Her heart is huge while her sense of purpose is small; she’s willing to fight for those she loves, but she’s never learned to fight for herself. Eighteen-year-old Melody is cold and calculating, and she’s driven by the desire to better herself. As these compelling yet deeply flawed women battle for the affections of twenty-five-year-old Nathan, he becomes increasingly confused and torn between them.
Stylistically influenced by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner, Starring in the Movie of my Life is told alternately from both Samantha’s and Melody’s points-of-view and relates two complete yet combined stories about love, acceptance, and redemption. It speaks to our universal desire to be saved by the ones we love, and the monumental effort required to save ourselves.

“This was one of the best books I have ever read! She intertwined past and present with such ease. The historical figures come to life. This book makes you totally rethink what you have always been taught about the death of Christ. I can’t wait to read the rest of her work if this is
any indication of how great a writer she is.”

THE BULL YEARS
For Steve, Sophia, Dave, and Brooke, life hasn’t turned out as planned. Rather than easy fame and fortune, these happy-go-lucky teenagers of the 1980′s found young adulthood a mystifying series of dead-end jobs, failed relationships, family scandal, and surging frustration.
Now approaching middle age, all they want is to reverse their gradual alienation from life and one another, reconnecting with their earlier, innocent selves.
But there’s a catch. Before any of them can move forward, they must collectively confront that one outrageous night back in college that first drove them apart, revealing secrets potentially shattering everything they ever were.

“I found it really well written and very funny.” Alison, independent reviewer
If you’ve ever wondered why life is so much harder than you ever dreamed, the promised land always just out of reach, then The Bull Years is an experience not to be missed.

Max and Bligh waste the days away sleeping in coffins and counting shovels until that fateful day that they decide to become serial killers.

Justice in America: How it Works – How it Fails by Russell Moran
Genre(s): Law, Politics & Social Sciences, Politics & Government, United States, Judicial Branch, Legal System, Professional & Technical
T he world envies, and in some cases despises, the American system of justice. In this frank and compelling book, attorney and journalist Russell Moran leads the reader on an exciting tour of the system that delivers our rights, and he doesn’t pull any punches. Whether you’re a lawyer, a judge, or a layman, Moran takes you on a journey through the system in a candid, colorful, and occasionally humorous examination of the country’s most critical institution.
From the schoolyard to the prison yard, Justice in America brims with recent cases, historical antecedents, and engaging anecdotes that make our complex system crystal clear. This indispensable resource has been designed to guide the inquisitive layman, as well as the seasoned attorney or judge, through today’s legal process, from the role of judges to the wild world of torts. It’s a must-read for anyone considering whether or not to sue, settle, claim, or retain.
Moran launches the book by questioning our opinions about exactly what is justice. He challenges our assumptions, and leads us into the thicket of moral philosophy. He delves into the role of judges: how we select, train and pay them, as well as how judges make decisions. He also evaluates the Supreme Court and some of its historic decisions, particularly cases involving the Commerce Clause and its current bizarre interpretations, as well as decisions on eminent domain and private contracts, and how these resonate in the courtrooms of today, and impact business and personal decisions in this country.
From there, Moran faces down the wild world of torts–civil wrongs–which comprise the largest part of our court system’s dockets. He hones his sharp legal eye on the implications of those all-important courtroom battlegrounds that affect us all. He looks at general personal injury cases, wrongful death, workers’ compensation, medical malpractice, and product liability. He also examines the problem of excessive jury verdicts, and how the system handles them. Peppered with real-life examples, this invaluable take on tort litigation offers insights for anyone confronting the courtroom.
Moran then lifts the veil on the jury room, this crucial phase of the process that can make or break a case. He parses the key elements of case, including a sympathetic plaintiff, key witness credibility, location of the accidents, and how the injury occurred.
Moran then concludes by posing the question of whether justice truly exists in this country. He illuminates the “wonderful mess” that is American democracy, calling into question the functionality of the Constitution, and leaves readers to determine for themselves, if justice is served in this nation. Delivered like a seasoned attorney, Justice in America – How it Works – How it Fails, offers readers the facts, evidence, and arguments they need, both to navigate–and to pronounce judgment on–American justice.

RUBECK’S RAIDERS
The Civil war divided the country and tore families apart. After the war, two half brothers became legendary gunfighters and cowboys in the old West–and deadly enemies.
Rubeck’s Raiders, a confederate army unit, were so brutal, even their own army disowned them. When the leaders’ son and paramour were killed one night, he knew it was one of his own men. A man hunt that spanned 10 years ensued.
The murdered girls’ younger sister saw a face in the window that horrible night, and swore to track her sister’s killer down. She hires trained killers to hunt him so she can get her revenge.
That’s how both half brothers became two of the most wanted men in the old West.
Changing names and identities, moving from frontier town to frontier town, hiding out – all became a way of life, along with having to fight for their lives at almost every turn.
One half brother knew he did it. The other was blamed for it. One didn’t want anything to do with the other. The other was protecting him.
They are all in one deadly pursuit to get him first.

Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury, Book 1 by L. R. W. Lee
Genre(s): Animals, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths, Dragons, Travel & Cultures, Royalty, People & Places
P raise for Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury (Book One)
“I LOVED it! Totally hooked and want to hear more. When’s the sequel coming out?” – Book Reviewer
“As far as Andy Smithson knows, he is a more-or-less ordinary 10-year-old boy, neglected by his overachieving parents and annoyed by his pampered older sister. What he doesn’t know is that he is also the latest in a line of rulers of the land of Oomaldee and the one destined to save that kingdom from a curse put on it 500 years before Andy’s birth. Andy is magically pulled into Oomaldee while washing dishes one evening, and the adventure begins–an adventure that includes fire-breathing dragons, a lisping wizard, flying horses, people-eating giants, and many new and delightful friends.
The story has plenty of exciting moments and a great deal of humor, from fart jokes and silly wordplay to more subtle humor that should appeal to adult readers. Delightful characters, exciting moments, and plenty of cool extras.” – SP Reviews
“The humor is visible and the book has many clever touches. The characters are believable… in this multi-layered story. A well-thought-through plot and vivid characters and situations.”
– Editor, A Woman’s Write

Zen and Sex (a Romantic Comedy) by Dermot Davis
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Love, Sex & Marriage, Literature & Fiction
M artin is a 24 year old guy who falls in love with a 38 year old woman. He has to grow so fast emotionally that he feels like he just got hit by a speeding bus.Not only is Frances fourteen years Martin’s senior, but she’s all about putting Zen into relationship, which involves every guy’s worst nightmare: talking about your feelings, being conscious of your thoughts and above all, unabashed, honest communication at all times. Martin has no idea what he is getting himself into and the sharp learning curve that’s required of him especially when he’s in the mood for sex and she wants Zen.”This is a short book but contains multitudes. The hero, Martin, is in despair about his ability to maintain a long-term relationship. After a number of failed match-making attempts he finally falls into a relationship with an older woman. At first leery, he realises that the age-gap doesn’t matter and goes headlong into the relationship. The book examines what happens when two real people try to negotiate a relationship where each is uncertain about themselves and their feelings. Dermot Davis writes Martin from the first-person perspective, and this gives him the opportunity to delve the depths and scale the heights of Martin’s roller-coaster. He writes affectionately and – it seems to me – accurately about the mental contortions that ‘real’ people go through as they work on their relationships. I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s experienced failure and success in their romantic life. You’ll recognise your feelings and the feelings of other people as they’re acted out. You’ll experience the frustration of dealing with a partner who seems to change his or her mind about how he or she feels. And you’ll laugh copiously at Martin’s attempts to find a way of having a real relationship with a real woman without giving up any essential parts of his own persona.” – Keith Dixon, author

Deadly Coast (A Tom Dugan Novel) by R.E. McDermott
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Spy Stories & Tales of Intrigue, Men’s Adventure
T WO DAYS ONLY!
“Top Rated” by Kindle readers for 38 straight weeks, Deadly Coast is available for the first time ever for $0.99.
Dugan thought Somali pirates were bad news. Then it got worse.
As Tom Dugan and Alex Kairouz, his partner and best friend, struggle to ransom their ship and crew from murderous Somali pirates, things take a turn for the worse. A US Navy contracted tanker with a full load of jet fuel is also hijacked, not by garden variety pirates, but by terrorists with links to Al Qaeda, changing the playing field completely.
With a link between piracy and terrorism now in play, the US and British goverments order the halt of all negotiations for captive ships, and enraged pirates ratchet up the mistreatment of captive crews. When a crewman is murdered in front of him on a live video feed, a frustrated Dugan starts his own rescue operation, only to stumble across something far more sinister — a rogue salvage operation for a long lost weapon of mass destruction. Isolated at sea on an old tanker previously destined for the ship breakers, Dugan and his hastily assembled little force of Russian mercenaries find themselves the last line of defense between the world and a terrifying bio-weapon.
Weaving historical fact with speculative fiction, Deadly Coast takes the reader from London board rooms into the very real world of modern day pirates — and their victims.
Reader Comments (Excerpts from Amazon reviews. Read full reviews below.)
I stumbled upon McDermott’s work via an Amazon recommendation. He’s an equal with WEB Griffin (one of my favorites), Cussler, and Clancy. You won’t be disappointed.
Brian
A rip-roaring thriller!
Captain Chris
As a Clancy/Griffin fan, I was skeptical, but the book came through as described. I really enjoyed it.
Indiver
I was blown away! Right up there with Tom Clancy and WEB Griffin.
MCole
Mr. McDermott knows his subject, intimately. Everything rings absolutely true. It’s like early Clancy.
Ross G. Gauld
McDermott just gets better and better. As good as Clancy in his early years (which were his best), with characters that are believable and a plot as modern as today.
James A. Kennedy
An excellent effort. In the style of Cussler, and every bit as interesting.
Douginarizona
Up 2 nights in a row until 2 AM. It equals Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler.
Thomas Rears
I am a huge fan of Tom Clancy, and this work fits right in.
Lesley Martin
In a league with Cussler, Wilber Smith, and MacLean. A great storyteller.
Vinu Raman
In Deadly Coast, McDermott continues his wonderfully timely, sobering exploration of the world of maritime piracy in and around the Gulf of Aden. A scintillating mix of brigands, treasure hunters, Spetznaz, US Navy — and Tom Dugan’s crew of unlikely heroes.
Finback
Couldn’t wait to read the next page! McDermott ranks with Clancy, Silva, Flynn, and CJ Box.
LTC Mike S.
If you like Cussler you’ll love these books! Great action, and great story lines I couldn’t put down. Can’t wait for the next book!
Actionfan
The character development is excellent and the plot totally credible. The pace is rapid and steady as a heartbeat. And in a fashion on which McDermott seems to hold the patent, revenge is extracted – deliciously.
Budd Cardone
I’m a voracious reader, and follow many authors. Deadly Coast will not disappoint fans of popular authors such as Clancy, Cussler, Matthew Reilly, etc.
Greg Bell
Deadly Coast is just as good as the best Cussler and better than most other sea stories.
Neptune
I recommend all action junkies add another author to the list with Flynn, Griffin, Cussler, Clancy, and now, McDermott.
Peppi
McDermott hit a home run with Deadly Straits and he turns around and does it again with Deadly Coast. I have a few authors that I like and read everything they write. Specifically Clancy, Cussler, and Dale Brown. Now I have another.

Awarded Your Family Tree magazine ‘Seal of Approval’. Featured in issue 118, June 2012.
FROM THE AUTHOR
This book is the second in the series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story without having first read In the Blood: A Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Crime Mystery #1, which is also on sale at the same reduced price during this offer.
‘Very rarely does a book touch me the way this one has.‘
DESCRIPTIONInspired by the author’s own family history…
To the Grave follows American genealogist, Jefferson Tayte, as he uncovers the disturbing consequences of a seemingly innocuous act in 1944 that was intended to keep a family together, but which ultimately tore it apart. His research exposes hidden pasts and the desperate measures some people will take to keep a secret.
Sitting in a hotel room at gunpoint, facing an impossible decision, Tayte is forced to wonder how his latest assignment had come to this. Five days earlier, after a child’s suitcase arrives unexpectedly at his client’s home in Washington DC, Tayte embarks upon a journey that takes him back to England as he tries to unravel the story of Mena Lasseter – a girl whose life has become a family mystery.
Hoping to reunite his client with the birth mother she never knew she had, having no idea that she’d been adopted, Tayte’s research draws him back to wartime Leicestershire and the arrival of the US 82nd Airborne, which irrevocably changes the course of Mena’s life. But as Tayte tries to find out what became of her and why she was separated from her suitcase all those years ago, he soon finds that he is not the only one looking for her. Someone else is determined to get to Mena first and it quickly becomes apparent that their motive is a secret worth killing for.

Forever, Erma: Best-Loved Writing From America's Favorite Humorist by Erma Bombeck
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Essays, Parenting & Relationships, Parenting
A n anthology of Erma Bombeck’s best writing, and a tribute to one of America’s sharpest wits
When she began writing her regular newspaper column in 1965, Erma Bombeck’s goal was to make housewives laugh. Thirty years later, she had published more than four thousand columns, and earned countless laughs–from housewives, presidents, and everyone in between. With grace, good humor, and razor-sharp prose, she gently skewered every aspect of the American family. This collection holds the best of her columns–not just her famous quips, but also the heartbreaking observations that gave her writing such weight. In 1969, Erma wrote: “screaming kids, unpaid bills, green leftovers, husbands behind newspapers, basketballs in the bathroom. They’re real . . . they’re warm . . . they’re the only bit of normalcy left in this cockeyed world, and I’m going to cling to it like life itself.” Three decades later, Bombeck’s writing remains a timeless examination of the still-cockeyed world. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erma Bombeck including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

T he Cygni system is just one space-fold jump away. One more jump to a new world with a fledgling colony that Earth desperately needs. The importance of the mission resonates in Captain James Hood’s mind, but can he reach the colony in time or defend it against potential attack?
So much depends on him now, but Hood’s confidence is shaken. Only days earlier, a deceptive trap by a mysterious vessel nearly claimed his ship and the lives of his crew. On the journey to the new colony, Hood had been so focused on encountering Earth’s old enemy, the Cilik’ti, that he was oblivious to the undermining activities of a new and elusive foe. They had managed to turn his strategic and tactical strengths against him; something few had ever accomplished.
Now, the specter of self-doubt resurfaced inside him. Hood knew it as a brutal mind-killer for all military commanders. It was something Hood thought he cast aside long ago.
Hood needs to get to Cygni and fast. The plot to derail his mission to Cygni cost him something more important than just his confidence. It cost him time–time the colonists at Cygni may not have. With the Cilik’ti and his new adversary still out there somewhere, the consequences for the colony could be dire if he doesn’t reach them first.
What will Hood and his crew find when they arrive at the colony? Hood doesn’t know, but one thing is certain. If he doesn’t win his battle within, the fate of the colony will be sealed.
Crucible is the second book in the exciting sci-fi series, The Epherium Chronicles.

Time is all we have; it flows – it cannot stop.
Jayne wakes up in hospital following a terrible accident, which changes her life as she knew it. While struggling to recover, she is visited by a mysterious woman who offers her a gift. To the girl’s astonishment, she finds herself on a journey, on both the physical and mental plane. It brings her to the mystical realm of Entyre, where life is very different and power lies with the creatures of the deep. While the threads of time keep flowing, Jayne must decide what is real, who to trust, and regain her inner strength in order to find herself and her true destiny.
Nickie Storey, author of the ‘Grimsley Hollow’ series: “A delicious brew of invention, enchantment and refreshing characters, Vickie Johnstone has a firm grasp on the fantasy genre. I can’t wait to read more of her work!”
Greta Burroughs, author of the ‘Wee People’ series: “Strange worlds, interesting characters, suspense and a surprise ending – what more can you ask for? This book has it all and more.”
Jennifer Thomas: “A gripping and fascinating mythical adventure that is beautifully described. There is suspense, fear and emotion throughout the entire novel that makes you want to keep turning the page.”
Excerpt…
Jayne concentrated on getting better. The dark mood that she had found herself in grew steadily lighter and she pushed her memories of the blue city to the back of her mind, dismissing them as dreams, which would gradually fade with time. That was her hope, for while she slept her mind wove images of the sea, accompanied by the echo of the whales and a tall man whose hair was the colour of the darkest waves. He was always there, not far away it seemed, thus was the lucidity of her sleeping life.

Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Horror, Ghosts, Occult, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Suspense, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy, Paranormal & Urban
B uried deep in a ravine in the picturesque Smoky Mountains is a very dark secret. David Hobbs, vacationing with his wife Miriam, inadvertently stumbles upon a small cloth ‘keepsake’ bag and a broken tooth. A human tooth. Miriam begs David to hand the bag and tooth over to park officials, but he ignores his wife’s pleas and secretly keeps the ‘harmless’ items. The action opens a doorway that had been closed for nearly a hundred years and unleashes hell on earth, or at least hell in the lives of David and Miriam.
Following the brutal murder of his best friend in Denver, and an aborted attack on his oldest son, David desperately seeks to understand why a mysterious teenage girl has chosen to terrorize him and the males closest to him. To prevent further devastation to his family and end the wanton bloodshed, he returns to the enchanted hills of eastern Tennessee, where a terrible truth awaits discovery…one that forces him to face the consequences for the unpaid sins of his ancestors.
Acclaim for Aiden James:
“Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one.”
–Bookfinds review for THE FORGOTTEN EDEN
“Not only is Aiden James a storyteller par excellence, but his material for his story is riveting.”
–Huntress Reviews
“The hook to this excellent suspense thriller is the twists that will keep readers wondering what is going on as nothing is quite what it seems. Adding to the excitement is that the audience will wonder whether the terror is an evil supernatural creature or an amoral human…Aiden James provides a dark thriller that grips fans from the opening.”
–Harriet Klausner, Amazon’s #1 book reviewer for THE FORGOTTEN EDEN
“Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that CADES COVE snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit’s interaction became prevalent with the family… The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae’s (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we’ve seen before in horror and ghost tales.”
–Evelyn Klebert, author of A GHOST OF A CHANCE and DRAGONFLIES
“Aiden James is insanely talented!”
–J.R. Rain, author of MOON DANCE and THE BODY DEPARTED

A DANGEROUS HARBOR (Pilgrim’s Progress) by RP Dahlke
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Romance, Contemporary
“ This is an engaging, well-written mystery with characters that took up residence in my imagination; moving in with all their baggage and quirks. I found them incredibly difficult to dislodge even several days after I had finished reading the book. I loved the setting; the beauty of the waters and the lovely hillsides existing alongside the abject poverty and ugliness of the slummy, sleazy habitats of those less fortunate. The day to day uncertainly of life is realistically portrayed in an area where powerful drug cartels operate from shadowy positions in almost all levels of government…” LauriJ’s Reviews for Night Owl Reviews Reviewer Top Pick
“Take a San Francisco police officer who is on leave for shooting a man who threatened her sister, send her on a sailing trip into Mexican waters where she finds the body of a murdered teenage girl, and you’ve got the mix for an intriguing mystery. Add an irresistible Mexican-Italian man who happens to be the lead investigator on the case and the romance begins to sizzle. I loved the vivid descriptions of this coastal Mexican town, and the methodic way in which officer Katy Hunter helps with the investigation. A satisfying ending in which all the threads come together into a neatly plotted book.” – Connie Shelton, author of the best-selling Charlie Parker mysteries and the new Samantha Sweet mysteries
Here’s the set-up:
Bleary-eyed and sleep deprived after a long overnighter into Mexico, solo sailor and SFPD police detective, Katrina Hunter, thinks the mermaid twenty yards behind her thirty-two foot Westsail is nothing more than a sailor’s hallucination But everything she knows about floaters convinces her to turn her boat around for another look.
Now, alone and isolated in the Mexican port’s police station for six hours she’s convinced that reporting a floater to authorities was a mistake. Even the arrival of a handsome, if somewhat dour, Mexican/Italian investigator does nothing to dispel her growing anxiety that she’s about to be charged with the murder.
Chief Inspector, Raul Vignaroli, is as surprised by the attractive solo-sailor as he is to find that she’s a respected member of the San Francisco police force, and after some well-placed phone calls he’s sure that he’s found the perfect partner to help him solve a murder, if not the cure for his broken heart.
Released, she’s free to go. But leaving the police station hits a snag when two policemen march in, dragging a listless prisoner between them. But before Katy can dodge them for the exit, the prisoner raises his head and a startling pair of aquamarine eyes meet hers.
He straightens his back, wincing at the angle of his cuffed wrists. “What the… Whisper?”
Suddenly, the sound of the ceiling fan is terribly loud. Blood pounds in her ears, her mouth goes dry, her palms are damp and her feet are nailed to the floor. In a knee jerk reaction, she hisses, “Don’t call me that!”

W hen my son, Gary Gray, was killed by an avalanche while climbing Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades, he was buried under tons of ice and snow. I was told his body might never be recovered and that perhaps I should consider him now a part of the mountain. It was the beginning of a journey unlike any I had taken before. For the next few years I traveled through devastating grief and tortuous self-doubt while unsuccessfully searching for reasons why my son’s life was taken by the very planet he was trying to save. Was it his destiny, kismet, or fate? Or was it just plain old bad luck? I had to try to find out.
After three years of being in limbo and soul-searching, and just when I thought he would remain in his icy sarcophagus forever, the mountain was ready to give him up. His body was recovered under extraordinary, miraculous circumstances and the stunning sequence of events surrounding the incredible recovery was to change forever the way I think and believe. My slightly skeptical nature could not help but grow into spiritual enlightenment after experiencing such miracles first hand.
Gary was a lover of nature and he loved the wilderness with all his heart. He was an adventurer who experienced life to the full and a mountain climber who was passionate about environment al issues. But the book is not so much about the man, but about the inexplicable events that surrounded his death and recovery. It’s about passion and miracles and love everlasting. And it’s typical of him that he used to sign all his cards and letters, Love & Life, Gary.

S panish Civil War – History of a Battle for Europe’s Soul – Spain’s Great War (Required History)
So, you think that World War 2 began in 1939?
Then you’re evidently not familiar with the Spanish Civil War.
The war was Spain’s Great War. The country suffered death, destruction, and repression on an unprecedented scale. There were large-scale military battles that left tens of thousands dead. The world witnessed some of the largest air battles that it had ever seen. People from all parts of society, from labor unionists to priests, were heartlessly murdered. Extremists and radical groups saw an exponential rise in their size and influence.
But, it was not just Spain that experienced its Civil War. The Spanish Civil War was also Europe’s and the world’s war. There was significant international involvement and interest in the war from the start, and it was a microcosm of the far greater war that was to follow it. It involved battles between democracy and dictatorship, Fascism and Communism, Germany and the USSR. The Great Powers of Europe tested out military strategies and new technologies, while tens of thousands of idealistic foreigners joined the war to battle against Fascism. At the same time, the great democracies of Britain and France played a more muddled role.
This introduction to the Spanish Civil War is the second book from George Levrier-Jones. The book considers the brutal war that arose between the political left and right in Spain over the years 1936-1939.
The topics in the book include:
• 19th Century Spain and the path that led to the Spanish Second Republic
• The chronic instability and changes of the Spanish Second Republic

When young Detective Cass Elliot responds to a report of domestic violence at the home of a prominent businessman, she finds him violently murdered in the barnyard with his battered wife unconscious near the tool that killed him.

Their investigation triggers a brutal response from powerful men who will protect their identities at any cost. They unleash a ruthless killer whose actions create a media frenzy and destroy the fabric of trust within the police department.

Hell Around the Horn by Rick Spilman
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Sea Adventures
H ell Around the Horn is a nautical thriller set in the last days of the great age of sail. In 1905, a young ship’s captain and his family set sail on the windjammer, Lady Rebecca, from Cardiff, Wales with a cargo of coal bound for Chile, by way of Cape Horn. Before they reach the Southern Ocean, the cargo catches fire, the mate threatens mutiny and one of the crew may be going mad, yet the greatest challenge will prove to be surviving the vicious westerly winds and mountainous seas of the worst Cape Horn winter in memory. Based on an actual voyage, Hell Around the Horn is a story of survival and the human spirit against overwhelming odds.
Praise for Hell Around the Horn:
Rick Spilman brings alive the rough and tumble world of the windjammer with authentic and well-chosen detail, in a voice that is at once historically authentic, yet fresh as a salty gale. One hand for yourself and one for the ship on this fast-paced and gripping ride. – Linda Collison, author of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventures.
Battling against endless contrary gales, constantly struck with disaster and tragedy, the crew of the Lady Rebecca encountered the same privations that hundreds of unsung sailors endured. As well as a story that grips with gathering tension, this book memorializes the gallant windjammer sailors of a largely forgotten era – Joan Druett, award winning nautical historian, novelist and author of Tupaia
A much neglected period of sailing history is brought to life by Spilman’s fast-moving narrative and apt use of fact and detail. – Alaric Bond, author of the Fighting Sail series of novels.
