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
• The major differences between the two sides
• How the 1936 election led to the Spanish Civil War breaking out
• International involvement and the instability of 1930s Europe
• Why the Great Powers of Europe intervened in the war
• The early Nationalist advances in the war
• How General Francisco Franco consolidated the Nationalist side
• The civil war within the Spanish Civil War
• The great Republican counter-attacks and General Franco’s responses
• Events across Spain from Madrid to the Basque Country, and Barcelona to Valencia
• The closing stages of the war
• What the victors did in the years and decades after winning the war
The approximately 100-page book is the perfect complement to the Spanish Civil War History audio series that is available as part of the ‘History in 28-minutes’ podcasts.

Murder at the Jersey Shore by Richard Brawer
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Crime
T his book contains three full length mysteries featuring detective David Nance and his girlfriend, Bobbie. The book has been re-proofed and reposted. I think future readers will find a vast improvement. What hasn’t changed are the mysteries that will keep you guessing until the end and the on again off again relationship between detective, David Nance, and his girlfriend, Bobbie.
The following is a synopsis of each of the three books contained in this one volume:
Secrets Can Be Deadly
As a single parent, David Nance’s mother is devoted to her son. When David finds her murdered on the eve of her sixtieth birthday, he sets out to avenge her death.
His investigation uncovers a brain impaired baby born twenty-six years ago that had either been switched at birth or murdered. The mounting evidence forces David to come face to face with the idea that his mother may not only have been involved, but as a delivery room nurse in the hospital for thirty years, may also have been a blackmailer.
As David digs into the backgrounds of the murder suspects, he is tormented when one by one he realizes each could be his father. One is, but is his father also the murderer?
Diamonds are for Stealing
David Nance is still angry, still mourning his mother when he takes on an insurance case from an old rival. Investigating the circumstances surrounding a missing diamond necklace, the new case throws him into the path of his old nemesis, the man he blames for his mother’s death.
Already on notice from his gorgeous girlfriend, Bobbie, about his insatiable thirst for vengeance, David must walk a fine line between cool, rational deduction and his inner rage.
When the body count starts mounting, the trail of diamonds leads him to a dangerous killer and a confrontation with his own demons.
Murder On The Links
Rooting out the murderers of a penny stock scam artist, a mob boss’ daughter, and a prostitute, David Nance uncovers mob infested stock brokers, fraudulent hedge fund operators, loan sharks, blackmailers and deviant sex addicts from among the high powered CEOs, lawyers, investment bankers, philanthropists and heirs to fortunes at exclusive Riveredge Golf and Country Club.

C harged with gross incompetence, Satan is fired from his job as Prince of Hell and exiled to that most terrible of places: English suburbia. Forced to live as a human under the name of Jeremy Clovenhoof, the dark lord not only has to contend with the fact that no one recognises him or gives him the credit he deserves but also has to put up with the bookish wargamer next door and the voracious man-eater upstairs.
Heaven, Hell and the city of Birmingham collide in a story that features murder, heavy metal, cannibalism, armed robbers, devious old ladies, Satanists who live with their mums, gentlemen of limited stature, dead vicars, petty archangels, flamethrowers, sex dolls, a blood-soaked school assembly and way too much alcohol.
Clovenhoof is outrageous and irreverent (and laugh out loud funny!) but it is also filled with huge warmth and humanity. Written by first-time collaborators Heide Goody and Iain Grant, Clovenhoof will have you rooting for the bad guy like never before.
F. Paul Wilson: “Clovenhoof is a delight. A funny, often hilarious romp with a dethroned Satan as he tries to adjust to modern suburbia. The breezy, ironic prose sets a perfect tone. If you need some laughs, here’s the remedy.”

From the Immortal Blog
Hey, Phinn here.
I’m an Angel. A 16 year old immortal. You don’t know me. You’ve never seen me. Unless you’re a dead teenager and you’ve been good and live in Southern California (narrows it down, huh?). If that’s the case, we’ve probably met. See, I take the souls of good kids to Heaven, but I’m not allowed to interact with the living…which makes high school, being on the soccer team and writing for the school newspaper a little difficult. As an angel, I play by the rules.
My “arch-frenemy” Iszn, the demon who takes the bad kids to Hell, breaks all the rules…which is why he’s one of the most popular kids in school. Iszn’s hobbies are football, human girls, football, torturing me, football and evil….did I mention football?
Anyway, as an Angel I try not to have any direct contact with humans…well, that is until I met this girl. Actually, until she met me…it’s kind of complicated. That’s one of the reasons I write my blog…to let you guys in on a world you probably didn’t even know existed…until it’s too late, anyway.
But this world does exist, and it’s about to get complicated. There are some deaths we can’t explain and only Iszn and I seem to want to get to the bottom of them. It’s going to cost us…a lot, but we can’t let it go.
So ya, enjoy the blog…comment if you want. I read all the comments and try to respond. And don’t let Iszn freak you out…to my knowledge, he’s never actually eaten anyone’s face.

J immie Barnes is dying. After over 100 years of life, his time is short.
Jimmie has one mission, unfullfilled – the return of his father’s hard earned 40 acres, awarded to the slave soldier at the end of the Civil War.
Over the decades Jimmie approaches the rich and famous, including all the American Presidents from Grant to Reagan in a quest to have the land returned. He makes one president cry (Nixon), helps kill another (McKinley) and accepts the brotherhood of an unlikely ally (“brother” Ronnie Reagan).
Will Jimmie finally get back the 40 acres?
A reader’s review: Jimmie Barnes is similar to the style of Forest Gump, minus the guile and innocence. Rage, injustice and racism in all it’s true colors are depicted from the main character to the behind the scenes players. The game of politics in a scary and grim light, makes you wonder is this fiction or closer to the truth than you want it to be?

A n elegant and haunting novel of love and family, The Tell demands that we reconsider our notions of marriage–duty, compromise, betrayal, and the choice to stand by or leave the ones we love.Mira and Owen’s marriage is less stable than they know when Wilton Deere, an aging, no longer famous TV star moves in to the grand house next door. With plenty of money and plenty of time to kill, Wilton is charming but ruthless as he inserts himself into the couple’s life in a quest for distraction, friendship–and most urgently–a connection with Anya, the daughter he abandoned years earlier. Facing stresses at home and work, Mira begins to accompany Wilton to a casino and is drawn to the slot machines. Escapism soon turns to full-on addiction and a growing tangle of lies and shame that threatens her fraying marriage and home. Betrayed and confused, Owen turns to the mysterious Anya, who is testing her own ability to trust her father after many years apart.The Tell is a finely-wrought novel about risk: of dependence, of responsibility, of addiction, of trust, of violence. Told with equal parts suspense, sympathy, and psychological complexity, it shows us the intimate and shifting ways in which we reveal ourselves before we act, and what we assume but don’t know about those closest to us.

Last Chance To Run by Dianna Love
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Romance, Romantic Suspense, Mystery & Suspense, Suspense
A new romantic suspense from New York Times bestseller Dianna Love.
Note: This is “not” a reissue. This book was originally released as a smaller category romantic suspense. When Dianna received the rights back she significantly revised the story to LAST CHANCE TO RUN, a much larger romantic thriller version she’d always envisioned, which includes more romance and plenty of action.
To an undercover agent, she’s a Person of Interest. He’s interested.
Escaping the compound of a deadly international felon–with a fortune in rare, stolen coins hidden on her body–elite athlete Angel Farentino has to make the most important run of her life. Literally. With her father in prison, where he belongs, and a prior undeserved conviction hanging over her head, she has nowhere to turn and no one to trust. Definitely not law enforcement who railroaded her through a judicial nightmare. One step ahead of lethal men and dogs on her trail, she runs into the arms of a dark stranger willing to help her if she’d let him. But that would only get the sexy pilot killed.
Between figuring out who’s sabotaging his undercover work for the DEA and trying to save his baby sister from herself, Zane Jackson has enough on his plate. The last thing he needs is to get entangled with a woman who’s treading on the wrong side of the law. But when the long-legged distraction races into the middle of his operation and stows away on his plane, a primal need to protect forces Zane to risk everything, starting with his heart.
“I have three things to say about Dianna Love’s writing…breathless pace…heart-stopping suspense…real characters you feel for.”

WHEN TEENAGE GIRLS VANISH in what was once considered a safe Louisiana bayou town, the lives of four desperate young locals take unexpected turns, begging the question: Do you ever truly know those closest to you?
When nineteen-year-old Tiffany Perron vanishes from rural Grand Trespass, Louisiana, best friend HALEY LANDRY’s relationship with her boyfriend becomes increasingly strained. To make matters worse, her impressionable younger sister BECKY has begun idolizing an impetuous, seductive 15-year- old who’s encouraging her to do dangerous things.
Meanwhile, ERICA DUVALL, a reclusive 19-year-old aspiring writer, befriends Haley. Ten years earlier, Erica’s mother abandoned her, leaving her with the womanizing used car salesman father she loathes. She’s decided to write a novel based on Tiffany’s disappearance; a novel that she hopes will lead to a reunion with her estranged novelist mother.
RACHEL ANDERSON, a 36-year-old mother of two, is having trouble coming to terms with her husband’s affair with the missing girl–a relationship that supposedly ended shortly before Tiffany’s disappearance. What’s more, she comes to the realization that someone is watching her family through the large back windows of her house.
A DISTURBED MAN also lives in the area. Ever since his mother’s murder four years earlier, he’s been raising his insolent teenage sister, ALLIE, who sleeps with truck drivers for money. He considers women to be dangerous–and his world revolves around his fear and hatred for them. He’s terrified of his sister, knowing she’s intent on pushing him over the edge.

D rew and Libby Sullivan have spent the past six years building the perfect life together. They have a beautiful home, flourishing careers, and they’re finally ready to take the plunge into parenthood. Well, almost. Despite the endless prodding from family, friends, and even strangers, there still seems to be something holding the couple back from starting a family. Perhaps that’s why they decide to take the advice of Libby’s older sister and make a list of everything they want to do before they have a baby. Making their baby bucket list, or as they call it, “The Buggy List”, buys them just a little more time to be Drew and Libby, who sleep in until noon on Saturdays and eat Chinese takeout for dinner on the couch. Besides, it gives Libby the opportunity to pull straight-laced Drew out of his comfort zone and do something fun for once; like go undercover as singles to a speed dating event with their friend, Tom; or finally take the honeymoon they never had. Drew and Libby each write down five items that they must complete before having a baby. But what starts out as a little harmless fun quickly becomes more than this couple bargained for. When secrets, little white lies, and competing desires threaten to pull them apart for good, Libby and Drew must rediscover why they fell in love in the first place.

************************
At one time, Decklan Holmes may have considered herself well and fully inoculated against the intrigue of abnormal mysteries. She was a prominent detective with the Caplan City Police Department, the child of a suicide victim, and the survivor of one of the most notorious catastrophes in Caplan history. Yet, in the wake of another horrifying accident, Decklan encounters an all-too-familiar man who forces her to confront a forgotten past and reexamine everything she has come to believe concerning myth, legend, and the nature of reality. Now, caught in a mystery of the supernatural variety, the feisty detective is quickly learning to question everything… but, as it turns out, “everything” might not quite cover it.
************************
(Excerpt)
Falling in love with an angel is like falling in love with a supernova. It’s as cosmic as it is unrealistic. You can be physically shaken by its splendor, or so wholly debased by your own sense of awe that you weep to think it’s anything but a dream. You can tell yourself that simply being aware of it means something profound, something real. You can rationalize it all you want. But in the end, you’re bound to learn that this celestial body can never love you back. Not the way you need it to.
So yes, Decklan knew that falling in love with an angel was absurd. Maybe even a little insane.
But falling in love with a demon? That was something else entirely.

If you enjoy Kurt Vonnegut, Catch-22, Chuck Palahniuk, the Illuminatus trilogy or the Fu Manchu novels of Sax Rohmer, you might enjoy THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD – a post-modern comic fantasy that defies categorization.
The year is 1978. China is an isolated empire of conspiracy, deception and delusion.
From Radio Beijing comes the astonishing announcement: China will unilaterally disarm. Is this a Great Leap Forward for mankind–or a plot to take over the world?
Into this surreal landscape steps Number Five, a master spy of undisclosed nationality. What he finds in China is so shocking, so strange, so far beyond the usual categories of fact or fiction, that the story of his mission must be passed off as fantasy for the next thirty-five years. It’s as if Kafka, Borges and Wittgenstein, after binging on Fu Manchu novels and the Illuminatus trilogy, had decided to write a spy novel, with a little help from Lewis Carroll.
Die-hard fans of thrillers and spy novels beware: Don’t buy this book unless you’re prepared to suspend your expectations in favor of a story that’s funny, literary, and trans-genre’d!

Cars and Stars: Diary of a Beverly Hills Parking Valet by Bruce Luchsinger
Genre(s): Humor & Entertainment, Humor, Business & Professional, Comedy
W elcome to the world famous Beverly Garden Hotel — A dazzling Beverly Hills oasis where Hollywood royalty mixes with actual royalty, millionaires take a backseat to billionaires, and the net worth of the cars in its parking lot could comfortably finance a small nation.
There are ten things that will get a parking valet at the Beverly Garden fired on the spot. Over the last 14 hours, Luke Brookington has done five of them.
Ripped from the pages of Luke’s diary, CARS AND STARS: DIARY OF A BEVERLY HILLS PARKING VALET tells a fun and lively tale that spans ten years — from Luke’s first day on the job in 2000 to Oscar Weekend 2010 and the proverbial shift from hell — where one shaky decision leads to many shaky decisions over the course of a wild night fueled by sex, drugs, and large hamburgers.
It’s the story of a man trapped in paradise — of transcendental love found and lost — and of Luke’s golden opportunity to change all of that — if he’ll simply reach for the magic.
CARS AND STARS is a humorous novel set in the celebrity-laden land of sun, fun, mansions, and money. And like books such as HEADS IN BEDS and WAITER RANT, the spot-on insights into the world of high-end service come from a true industry insider. A seventeen-year veteran of 5 Star hotels in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, Bruce Luchsinger parked roughly a quarter of a million cars — many with price tags well north of six figures — before putting pen to paper.

How much would a father sacrifice for his child?
Nineteen years ago, Indiana police found the body of a young girl, burned beyond recognition and buried in the woods. They arrested George Calhoun for murdering his daughter, and his wife testified against him at the trial. The jury convicted him. Now his appeals have been exhausted, and his execution is just a few weeks away.
George said he didn’t do it. That the body isn’t his little Angelina. But that’s all he’s ever said – no other defense, no other explanation.
Dani Trumball, an attorney for the Help Innocent Prisoners Project, wants to believe him. After all, there was no forensic evidence that the body in the woods was George’s daughter. But if the girl isn’t Angelina, then who is it? And what happened to the Calhouns’ missing daughter?
For nineteen years, George Calhoun has stayed silent. But that’s about to change, and the story he tells Dani–if it’s true–changes everything.

The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club by Duncan Whitehead
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Mystery, Thrillers
S omething is not quite right in the leafy Savannah neighborhood of Gordonston.
As the friends and fellow members of her afternoon cocktail club gather to mourn the death and lament the life of their neighbor, Thelma Miller, not all is what it seems.
When old friends vie for the attention of widower, alderman and mayoral candidate Elliott, jealousies surface and friendships are strained. An old woman with a dark secret and an infamous uncle plots her revenge for a perceived wrong done over thirty years before, a once successful children’s writer with his own secret is haunted by memories of the past and aspiring model Kelly Hudd has just won the trip of a lifetime.
Soon secrets are revealed and an intertwined web of deceits and lies surfaces in the middle class neighborhood where a killer lurks, but is anyone really who they seem to be? A mysterious old man in South America, a young Italian count parading the streets of Paris and a charitable and kindhearted nephew recently arrived from India add to the remarkable assortment of characters in this story of intrigue, deceit and revenge. What is the secret a recently retired accountant is trying to hide and just why did former showgirl and attractive sixty two year old widow Carla Zipp really have plastic surgery?
As the plot thickens and the Georgia temperature rises we discover who is destined for an early-unmarked grave in the wooded park that centers the tree-lined avenues of Gordonston.
A mysterious organization with links to organized crime, a handsome fire fighter who can do no wrong, and a trio of widows with deep hidden agendas compound a story of simplistic complexity. As twists and turns lead the reader to a conclusion that they will not see coming and a sucker punch ending that will leave readers breathless, the Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club’s top priority remains the need to chastise the culprit who refuses to ‘scoop’ after his dog walking sessions in their treasured park.

With his family in danger and his soul in peril, Jamie is forced to reevaluate the kind of man he truly is as he struggles to escape The Maze before it’s too late.
Praise for The Maze
“Jason Brannon shows us a place of reckoning and judgments, of creatures that wait to ensnare us. The Maze is a novel of damnation and deliverance, of corridors fortified with death and spirituality. I found a bit of myself in The Maze.” ~ Steven Lloyd, author of The Wooden Box
“From his style, you’d think Jason Brannon was the dark double of Ray Bradbury. He cares more about character and realism than most writers I’ve read and his plots flow like well-orchestrated music. Indeed, Brannon’s writing has a classical feel, reminiscent of the best traditional work in the genre, even when he’s going for gut-wrenching terror and torture in-extremis.” ~ Michael Arnzen, International Horror Guild Award winning author of Grave Markings (Dell Abyss)
“Warning! The Maze may get inside your head — and stay there.” ~ Harry Shannon, author of Night of the Beast
“Brannon’s work reminds me of the glory days of The Twilight Zone, when it was in black and white and carried bylines like Beaumont and Matheson. Often surreal, sometimes disturbing and sometimes enlightening, there’s real substance in his tales that few of his contemporaries can match.” ~ Mike Oliveri, Bram Stoker Award Winning Author of Deadliest of the Species
“It is a rare treat to find a modern writer whose work is truly a mirror of the darkest corners of the world we all share. Every one of his haunting stories is infused with clear ideas and startling notions submerged in a straightforward and engaging prose. His visions linger with you long after the book has been closed.” ~ Stephen Susco, Screenwriter (The Grudge, The Grudge 2, Pulse, Red)
