Stoneheart: A Path OF Identity And Redemptionby Baer Charlton

Gunnery Sergeant Perceval Stone, after 39 years in the Marine Corps, is suddenly medically retired. Collective damage of many wars and actions and an IED leaves him with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) exacerbated by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). His vision in one eye comes and goes, recall of the occasional word is blocked, or he misses a step in following a conversation. Stone is a walking mental time-bomb like so many others if he can’t find his center.
Walking away confused from the only home and family he has known with a phone in his pocket he doesn’t know how to use, a pesky yeoman stalking his every move, while riding an $800 motorcycle headed west from Bethesda, MD, searching for what it means to be a civilian–and what makes a home, home.
In an effort to find his peace, he ends up beside a tranquil lake, watching a perfect sunset.
And then the phone rings . . .
Mr. Charlton tells a feel-good story about a journey of coming home, finding one’s compass, and the true power of friendships–old and new. Stone’s story is similar to so many today, but Mr. Charlton draws on many personal insights of the human heart and shows us the world of possibility. These characters are the ones who will lovingly haunt your world and you will want to share.

Into Darkness (Shannon Ames Book 1)by T.J. BREARTON

“One of my favorite authors. His thrillers are taut, twisty, unsettling, and deliciously creepy.” – Lisa Regan

They have been judged. The verdict – guilty. The sentence – death.

Two beautiful young women are found strangled, their bodies meticulously washed and groomed. The only thing they have in common – both worked as reporters for local TV stations. 

A coincidence? Or something more sinister?  

Rookie Special Agent Shannon Ames is assigned to the case and soon impresses with her brilliant intuition and startling ability to think outside the box. 

But as Shannon takes a more prominent role in the investigation, she finds herself drawn into a deadly dance with a master of deception, a serial killer whose victims all work in media – journalists, influencers, reporters. 

Shannon’s superiors are convinced it’s part of some grand attack on the free press, but she has a hunch these killings are much more targeted. And she follows that hunch – straight into the heart of darkness…
