Noble Beginnings: A Jack Noble Thriller (Jack Noble #1)by L.T. Ryan

In March of 2002, while the eyes of the world focused on Afghanistan, Jack Noble finds himself on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. A Marine in name only, Jack is on-loan to the CIA. Normally an integral part of the team, he finds that he is nothing more than a security detail in Iraq.
Jack and his partner Bear have a run-in with four CIA special agents over the treatment of an Iraqi family. Within hours Jack and Bear are detained.
All Jack wanted was to finish his enlistment and move on with his life. All he did was intervene and save a family from unwarranted violence at the hands of four CIA agents. But he soon discovers that he did far more than intervene. He has placed himself dead square in the middle of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the U.S. government.
This fast-paced political crime thriller by USA Today bestselling author L.T. Ryan will leave you burning through the pages as Jack races to stop the conspiracy before it claims his life. Fans of Tom Clancy, Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne will enjoy Jack Noble.

The Red Lionby Kathryn Le Veque

1288 A.D. – Sir Jamison Munro is a Highland warrior known as The Red Lion.

Big and burly, with a crown of vibrant red hair, as the son of the chief of Clan Munro, Jamison’s path in life was more unconventional than those of his clansmen. Fostering in England and France, Jamison learned the ways of his adversaries before returning home to take his place at his father’s side. But his father is a progressive thinker, knowing that in order to survive, his clan must become allies with the English. He knows that isolation will only bring destruction to his clan. Willem Munro has traveled the world, much like his son, and has made friends along the way. When his English friends to the south call upon him to help in their battle with the Welsh, Willem sends his only son.

Now, Jamison finds himself living with the English again as they do battle against the Welsh. Although highly trained in English tactics, and having many English friends, he cannot give himself over 100% to their ways. He sympathizes with the Welsh even as he plans battles against them. Outwardly supporting the English, he is nonetheless torn.

When the call goes out to defend Four Crosses Castle against a Welsh attack, Jamison rides to the siege and finds himself caught up in a nasty battle. With the gatehouse breached, he charges in to defend the occupants only to be attacked by one occupant in particular. What he first believes to be a small and slender knight, he soon finds out differently. He is met with ferocity by a skilled lady warrior.

Lady Havilland de Llion is the daughter of the lord of Four Crosses Castle. Part-Welsh, her family is nonetheless loyal to the English. When she sees the big Scotsman, she assumes he is siding with the Welsh and goes after him with a vengeance. Even upon discovering his loyalties, she doesn’t believe him and their fight goes on long after the battle itself is finished. By the end of their fight, she is exhausted. By the end of their fight, Jamison is in love.

Politics, battles, loyalties, and roaring passions play out in a story of high emotion and high adventure. To the big Scots knight know as The Red Lion, nearly everything in his life has come at a price, but in the battle for Havilland’s affections, there is no price too high that he will not pay.

When Is The Right Time To Sell My Business?by Richard Mowrey

“The very best way to predict the future is to create it”

In his new book, When Is The Right Time To Sell My Business?, Rich Mowrey tackles a decision point that many business owners inevitably find themselves in, but is one that can be difficult, stressful, and full of trepidation. It is a decision that can bring regrets and questions about timing and planning they never considered, and Mowrey’s objective is to help a business owner sell their business without regrets.

In this intelligently written book, Mowrey answers one of the biggest questions that business owners who are interested in selling their business always ask:

When is the right time to sell to my business?

To really ensure an informed decision can be made, he delves deeper into this question to get at the underlying, interrelated knowledge acquisition, purposeful action, and timing. Mowrey helps business owners examine their business’ value attributes, personal assets, and the types of plans that need to be in place in order to sell the business. He then focuses on four major areas of personal assessment to help crystalize one’s personal readiness to start the process of selling their business.

Mowrey emphasizes, “It is time to stop silently asking the question and formulating the answer. It is time to focus on the answer more often than the question.” By shifting one’s focus, hesitation and fear can be minimized, resulting in a decision backed by confidence.

In addition to providing guidance and expertise to the decision making process, Mowrey offers specific objectives required of the business owner as they start the next phase of their life.

By examining the factors addressed in this book now, a business owner will have all the necessary components in place when the opportunity to sell arises or when they decide to initiate the opportunity themselves.

Mowrey focuses on the basics of business valuation and readiness assessment – both qualitative and quantitative – in order to help the reader prepare to sell their business and plan for action. From there the focus shifts to value enhancement and strategic planning because as he explains, “Price is what you receive, value is what you deliver.” Together, all this preparation and the ultimate execution of a transfer plan will require both focus and a good measure of personal energy.

Mowrey also addresses:

Each reader will focus on specific action steps to begin taking now to lead to their ultimate decision, including:

For any business owner, the thought of someday selling their business can be overwhelming and confusing – generally raising more questions than they are prepared to answer. But thanks to his expertise and ability to guide readers through a carefully thought out, systematic approach, Rich Mowrey is able to reduce the uncertainty and provide a path that will lead to a confident and ideally more profitable sale of their business.

After the Executionby James Raven

Lee Jordan has spent 10 years on death row for a murder he didn’t commit. He’s lost everything—his wife, his dreams, his future. He finally enters the death chamber at the famous “Walls” prison in Texas. He’s strapped to a gurney and given an injection of lethal drugs in front of witnesses. Minutes later he’s pronounced dead. But that’s not the end of it. After the execution comes the shocking revelation—Jordan is still alive. And to stop him talking he has to die all over again—before he brings down the entire American justice system.

The Disembodiedby Anthony Hains

Thirteen-year-old Griffin Rinaldi seems like a normal kid. He plays basketball at the Y and he’s just learning to talk to girls. But Griffin doesn’t feel normal. He’s been diagnosed with Depersonalization Disorder–he feels disconnected from his body, and at times, he doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive. And it seems to be getting worse.

Following the brutal death of his abusive father, Griffin is haunted by a red-haired kid only he can see and who wants him to do things he doesn’t understand. Griffin’s only sources of support are his grandfather, Soren – a regional author of Outer Banks ghost stories – and his same-aged cousin, Tanner, a boy coping with his own troubled life.

When a rare blizzard strikes the Outer Banks, Griffin recognizes the red-haired boy as a vengeful specter from Soren’s tales. To make matters worse, his well-meaning aunt has convinced his mother he’s under some sort of spiritual attack. Unsure if the mysterious boy is a symptom of his disorder or an entity with evil intent, Griffin finds himself in a struggle to save his life, his sanity and maybe his very soul.

Red Goldby Robert D. Kidera

“Author Robert D. Kidera owes me big time. His debut novel in the promised McKenna Mystery series, ‘Red Gold,’ kept me up all night. Who can resist a good old-fashioned treasure hunt? ‘Red Gold’ is a thriller packed with deceit and danger but also compassion. McKenna is a damaged hero, but also one to root for.”
–Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of “Everything Burns,” “The Remains,” and “The Shroud Key”

“If you’re going through hell, keep going…”

Unseen enemies threaten his life. Old friends turn up and rally to his side. Together they plunge into a lethal struggle for a 19th Century treasure, the fabled Lost Adams gold. McKenna enters a world of violence, passion, sexual abuse, deceit, and death that cause him to question his core beliefs and values, and even his sense of self.
Desperate to find a way home, McKenna must first unearth the secret of an old family manuscript and risk his life against overpowering odds. He must rekindle his long-dead fighting spirit and discover new reasons to live and love.

Redemption Trailby Preston Wood

Word of gold in California was the opportunity that Solomon Weatherbee had been waiting for his whole life.

Handing in his notice at Mr Hennepin’s store, he takes $7.50 from the cash box, his weathered mare, and his father’s old Harper’s Ferry rifle.

It was time to make his fortune.

Striking out on his own, Weatherbee meets Ad and George on the road. The three team up, devising money-making schemes.

But with Weatherbee’s wandering eyes, and George’s taste for whisky, it is not long before they run into trouble.

Weatherbee’s relations with the wife of Captain McCusker sets him on path full of wild adventures of narrow escapes.

With pockets full of gold, he sets to work in the brasuda, the bush country between the Rio Grande and the Neuces, with a plan to catch cattle and take them to the Californian gold fields to sell.

He needs capital and has been told that the wealthy John McCourt is the man to give it to him.

But McCourt is embroiled in an adventure of his own: finding the Mexican gang that tortured the Schwainert brothers for their gold.

Weatherbee will have to help McCourt carry out his raid and find the killers before he can secure his loan.

But the raid is a disaster. Chino escapes, and targets Weatherbee as a wanted man.

Can Weatherbee find his fortune, with a price on his head?

Redemption Trail is an action-packed western adventure set against the backdrop of the Californian gold rush.

Praise for Preston Wood

‘Preston Wood’s Redemption Trail is a page turning, thoughtful, and passionate adventure of the American West, told by a writer who defined the American West for millions of television viewers. Beautifully written and completely absorbing.’ – Max Byrd, author of Paris Deadline and Grant.

‘A gutty but humorous and well-researched tale of the California Gold Rush.” – Richard Herman, New York Times bestselling author.

‘Passage of boy to man. A fast, enjoyable read, filled with memorable characters and events. Mr. Wood’s experience as a television writer is plainly evident; the dialog is witty and fast moving, and the story moves from scene to scene with confidence and skill.’ – Charles Post

War Bridesby Helen Bryan

An international bestseller with over one million readers.

With war threatening to spread from Europe to England, the sleepy village of Crowmarsh Priors settles into a new sort of normal: Evacuees from London are billeted in local homes. Nightly air raids become grimly mundane. The tightening vice of rationing curtails every comfort. Men leave to fight and die. And five women forge an unlikely bond of friendship that will change their lives forever.

Alice Osbourne, the stolid daughter of the late vicar, is reeling from the news that Richard Fairfax broke their engagement to marry Evangeline Fontaine, an American girl from the Deep South. Evangeline’s arrival causes a stir in the village—but not the chaos that would ensue if they knew her motives for being there. Scrappy Elsie Pigeon is among the poor of London who see the evacuations as a chance to escape a life of destitution. Another new arrival is Tanni Zayman, a young Jewish girl who fled the horrors of Europe and now waits with her newborn son, certain that the rest of her family is safe and bound to show up any day. And then there’s Frances Falconleigh, a madcap, fearless debutante whose father is determined to keep her in the countryside and out of the papers.

As the war and its relentless hardships intensify around them, the same struggles that threaten to rip apart their lives also bring the five closer together. They draw strength from one another to defeat formidable enemies—hunger, falling bombs, the looming threat of a Nazi invasion, and a traitor in their midst—and find remarkable strength within themselves to help their friends. Theirs is a war-forged loyalty that will outlast the fiercest battle and endure years and distance.

When four of the women return to Crowmarsh Priors for a VE Day celebration fifty years later, television cameras focus on the heartwarming story of these old women as war brides of a bygone age, but miss the more newsworthy angle. The women’s mission is not to commemorate or remember—they’ve returned to settle a score and avenge one of their own.

Woven Realmsby Julia Shupe

The boundary between realms has torn. Magic has spilled into the lands of Kiln and infected its citizens for centuries. In an effort to claim the magic for themselves, the mountain wraiths of Drakammon have slaughtered its people by the thousands and released a plague most deadly. But the Enomai and Chenomai–two foretold by history–are born. One is light and the other is dark. Who will prevail and can the realm be saved?

Lova Glavan, apprentice healer for the Guild of Healers, embarks on a quest to the royal city of Crowspire to seek a cure for the plague. But does the quest end in Crowspire or must she journey to the far reaches of Drakammon and beyond? Will the journey take her to the very realm itself–the source where all magic originated?

Don’t miss the first installment of this exciting and heartfelt trilogy. People are often capable of more than they ever thought possible. Those who are persecuted, oppressed, and tormented, often rise up and demand justice and retribution.

The Lost Gospel of Barabbas: The Thirteenth Apostleby Kevin L. Brooks

A gripping and epic saga of the most notorious man in the Bible.

Rome is at the height of its power and cruelty. Insurrection is punishable by death. While the Jews hope for their long-awaited messiah, a zealot hides in the belly of a ship, his hand forced in a rash and devastating event. He is hunted by Roman forces. He is plagued by supernatural hordes. Over land and sea, Barabbas will face his demons and journey towards an unimaginable destiny.

The Lost Gospel of Barabbas not only reveals a detailed history of ancient Israel and Jewish customs, but undertakes a sweeping exploration of the criminal – from childhood to manhood – that history has told so little about, along with the times he lived in. With grit and humanity, Kevin Brooks asks the what if’s and takes the reader on a very plausible road leading Barabbas from childhood tragedy to revenge to redemption.

“The Lost Gospel of Barabbas is an intriguing Christian fiction blended with historical details that make this book both imaginative and realistic. The tale of young Barabbas in his formative years was a smooth read filled with adventure, love, heartache, and a supernatural ability that he has yet to harness, all taking place under the oppressive thumb of the Roman empire.” – A. Lindsey, Amazon reviewer

“I don’t normally read historical fiction so I did not expect to like this book much. I didn’t just like it; I loved it!” – W. Flintstone, Amazon reviewer

“Huge fan of fictional books mixed with historical facts. If you are too, this book is for you.” – K. Waldoq, Amazon reviewer

A Drop of April Snowby Christopher Sword

“A tapestry of lives, trauma and subsequent vulnerability of three different persons.”
The last snow storm of the year was to be the biggest. Police warned drivers to stay off the roads. Families huddled inside their homes, wondering if they would lose power, heat and the ability to get out.

In the morning a glittering layer of frosting covers everything. A couple snowshoes into town and discovers the body of a young man found off to the side of the rural highway without a jacket, shoes or socks.

A Drop of April Snow follows three characters whose lives intersect in ways unknown to them. The characters all struggle to deal with their past, each making efforts to block out the details of memories that are either too painful or debilitating in some way. When their worlds collide it becomes increasingly impossible to ignore that they are forever linked in tragedy.

Sometimes even the bad guys can be patriots.

“This is a wild and exciting ride.”
Bob Moats, author of the Jim Richards Murder Novels

“Gary Ponzo’s thrillers are so powerful, the government should consider using them as a renewable source of energy.”

Edition! 6/16 Edits, Additions, TWO CHAPTERS OF ICE GENESIS, THE NEXT IN THE LEAH AND JACK SERIES!

Archaeologist Leah Andrews stumbles upon something inexplicable in southwestern New Mexico: inside a dark cavern lies an undiscovered, Native American cliff dwelling abandoned for 800 years. While twisting through one of the narrow underground passageways, Leah’s flashlight illuminates the remains of a violent massacre.

Ancient human remains–all slaughtered in a long-ago massacre–cover the cavern floor, along with a number of brilliantly colored, granite crystals. The rare crystals are native to only one place on earth: a frozen mountain range in central Antarctica.

Could Native Americans have traveled to the frozen continent of Antarctica 800 years prior to the first known human exploration? If so how? And why?

There’s only one person who can get Leah to those mountains in Antarctica: her estranged husband and climbing guide Jack Hobson.

At their destination they make a stunning discovery that will change history and science forever. But Leah’s team is far from the only interested party.

As her secret makes its way to the highest levels of government, a race to seize the Russian-claimed Antarctic territory brings the world to the brink of nuclear conflict.

A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
