An End to a Silence: A mystery novel (The Ward Trilogy Book 1)by W.H. Clark

Summer. Montana, 1985. When seven-year-old Ryan Novak suddenly disappears from his home in a small rural town, Detective Newton picks up the case. Convinced that the boy’s grandfather – school janitor and former woodsman Bill O’Donnell – knows what happened to the boy, Newton’s growing obsession with his only suspect begins to take its toll.

Winter. Montana, 2010. Twenty-five years later and, in the final days of Newton’s tarnished career, Bill O’Donnell is found murdered. Newton’s successor, a city-toughened young Texan detective named Ward, is the lead investigator. As Newton readies himself for retirement, Ward draws him back into the mystery he couldn’t solve. Can they find the old man’s killer and finally uncover the truth about what really happened to Ryan?

The silence is about to be shattered.

An End to a Silence is book 1 in a 3 part US crime novel series. Watch out for books 2 and 3 in the series.

False Impressions (Megan Scott/Michael Elliott Mystery Book 1)by Sandra Nikolai

Her cheating husband was murdered and she’s the prime suspect. Proving her innocence is one thing; evading a killer who wants her dead is something else.

BETRAYAL. JEALOUSY. REVENGE.

Montreal ghostwriter Megan Scott falls under police suspicion when her husband and a female companion are found murdered. In what a Québec detective calls a crime of passion, startling evidence surfaces to also implicate Michael Elliott, a young investigative reporter who’d rather rub elbows with scumbags than live the posh lifestyle he inherited.

Clutched out of her comfort zone, Megan is flung into Michael’s dark world of criminal investigation. As they make a last-ditch attempt to prove their innocence, an elusive enemy closes in and threatens their lives. Who wants them out of the way and why?

Their only path to freedom is to catch the twisted killer before they become the next victims. But not knowing who to trust or where to turn can have consequences that are just as lethal…

Honorby Kennedy Layne

A high school reunion is about to get down and dirty and a whole lot more complicated in this new romantic suspense from USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne.

Derek Spencer hadn’t even bothered to RSVP to his Catfish Creek’s high school reunion. He’d been too busy fighting a war in Afghanistan in his capacity as a Marine and wouldn’t even be in the States during the event. Unfortunately, one emergency phone call from his mother changed everything.

Tessa Daniels had been voted most likely to do everything back in high school. She somehow didn’t think that included acquiring her very own stalker at the relatively young age of twenty-eight. It had stopped being simply annoying after someone broke into her house, invading her privacy. Now, she was actually in fear for her life.

Derek’s mother feels terrible that her son has spent almost every waking hour at the hospital, watching over his recovering father. She sets out–and succeeds–in arranging for Derek and Tessa to attend their high school reunion together. Neither one of them expected sparks to fly or memories of long-lost crushes to emerge, but they are not only faced with their newfound passion…they must also confront the person trying to extinguish their chance to rekindle the flames of past desires.

Deepest Desireby Weston Parker

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

My casino is a haven for all.

Whatever their desires are, we have them covered. Unfortunately, working with high stakes and deep pockets draws in the darkness. Such is life.

People come and go, and I mostly keep to myself, uninterested, until her.

There was something that set her apart from the other women prancing around the decorative floors of my place.

Smart. Caring. Driven. Hot as hell, and surprisingly a virgin.

Never in a million years would I have expected to fall in love so quickly, but she gave me no choice. Now she has me gambling away my reputation as a billionaire bad boy.

As things heat up with the mafia, and they take the one thing that matters most to me, my focus shifts to getting her back – unharmed.

No one after me will ever touch her again. I’ll make damn sure of it.

I’d bet the house on that.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

Daddy 3.0: A Comedy of Errorsby Rob Armstrong

2017 Independent Author Network Winner – Best Comedy / Satire Novel

What a mess. This was not supposed to happen.

This isn’t where Nick Owen thought he would be by this point in life. He used to be a busy web programmer. Now he spends most of his energy trying to stop his three-year-old twins from playing in a dirty sand pit. Nick thinks of himself as Daddy 3.0, a stay-at-home-dad–but he just wasn’t programmed for this.

He must navigate a new world of jungle gyms and playdates while supporting his surgeon wife. He tries his best to be there for the twins, but he can’t stop making a mess of things. He’s just about nearing the end of his rope when the Swing Incident happens. The Swing Incident, spoken of in hushed tones around Nick’s New York City apartment building, has caused the resident queen bee, nicknamed “Supermom,” to declare him an enemy for life. No matter what Nick does to get back into Supermom’s good graces, he fails spectacularly.

Now Nick’s going to have to learn to fight fire with fire and become the best superparent on the block. This hilarious new book by Rob Armstrong chronicles one man’s journey into the world of modern fatherhood–one botched haircut, playground fight, and dirty diaper at a time.

Stay-at-home-dads have a new hero, of sorts.

The situational comedy was absolutely hilarious. I kept thinking, “I’d love to see this movie.” The quality of the writing added to the reading pleasure. If this is the first book, I look forward to his second, third and more.” – Chuck Hossack, PA
