O.L.D. — A Good Way to Die: A Cold War Action-Adventureby Christopher Kügler

he year is 1983, the height of the Cold War, and an evil secret society has planted an imposter in the White House with one objective: nuclear war. When Steven Leonard, a wannabe journalist, stirs the world’s most dangerous secret agent out of retirement — the alluring and provocative Hunter Gunne (think a female James Bond minus the misogyny) — he finds himself dragged along on an adventure to rescue the president, prevent World War III, and perhaps find the happiness both their lives so desperately lack. If they fail: kiss humanity goodbye.

O.L.D. — A Good Way to Die is a retro action-adventure that spans decades, sweeping the reader from the Arctic Circle to the Oval Office… AND BEYOND. Twisting the spirit of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan series with the dark humor of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, the novel interweaves the history of the Cold War (from the Manhattan Project to Able Archer) with the heroine’s past, highlighting the horror and absurdity of the nuclear arms race.

Black Shipsby Jo Graham

"Haunting and bittersweet, lush and vivid, this extraordinary story has lived with me since I first read it." — Naomi Novik, author of His Majesty's Dragon

The world is ending. One by one the mighty cities are falling, to earthquakes, to flood, to raiders on both land and sea.

In a time of war and doubt, Gull is an oracle. Daughter of a slave taken from fallen Troy, chosen at the age of seven to be the voice of the Lady of the Dead, it is her destiny to counsel kings.

When nine black ships appear, captained by an exiled Trojan prince, Gull must decide between the life she has been destined for and the most perilous adventure — to join the remnant of her mother's people in their desperate flight. From the doomed bastions of the City of Pirates to the temples of Byblos, from the intrigues of the Egyptian court to the haunted caves beneath Mount Vesuvius, only Gull can guide Prince Aeneas on his quest, and only she can dare the gates of the Underworld itself to lead him to his destiny.

In the last shadowed days of the Age of Bronze, one woman dreams of the world beginning anew. This is her story.

A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War: How J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Rediscovered Faith, Friendship, and Heroism in the Cataclysm of 1914-18by Joseph Loconte

Had there been no Great War, there would have been no Hobbit, no Lord of the Rings, no Narnia, and perhaps no conversion to Christianity by C. S. Lewis.

The First World War laid waste to a continent and brought about the end of innocence–and the end of faith. Unlike a generation of young writers who lost faith in the God of the Bible, however, J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis found that the Great War deepened their spiritual quest. Both men served as soldiers on the Western Front, survived the trenches, and used the experience of that conflict to ignite their Christian imagination.

Tolkien and Lewis produced epic stories infused with the themes of guilt and grace, sorrow and consolation. Giving an unabashedly Christian vision of hope in a world tortured by doubt and disillusionment, the two writers created works that changed the course of literature and shaped the faith of millions. This is the first book to explore their work in light of the spiritual crisis sparked by the conflict.

No Name Keyby Jessica Argyle

All Elle wants is a little land to call her own. And she has earned it, finding a measure of peace on a lonely isle near the bottom of the Florida Keys. But others have their own designs, especially Billy, her deadbeat, absent husband who could show up any time to claim her or maliciously destroy what he cannot have.

In 1935, as Labor Day approaches, a storm is brewing that will alter Elle’s life and the landscape of the Florida Keys forever. How far will Elle go to protect the little that she has? And if she does the unimaginable, can she keep her freedom?

In the great depression of the 1930’s, No Name Key is still unconnected to the mainland; wild weather, desperate characters and treacherous swamp, a woman has got to use all her strength just to survive.

Set against the backdrop of the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in the Florida Keys, a desperate Elle puts Billy on the last ferry out, on the morning of the storm.

Or did she?

Mrs. Rowlands, Billy’s wealthy paramour believes that Billy may have suffered an even worse fate. But just what did she see, and what will she find out?
And who else remained with Elle on that small island, shut in while the hurricane raged?

Praise for No Name Key
T.D. Allman, award winning author of Finding Florida says “In this book you learn trees as well as mean men and hurricanes can kill you. Elle, the book’s protagonist, is as tough and amoral as the crabs that crawl and consume their way through Jessica Argyle’s narrative. As one particularly startling gustatory scene demonstrates, that’s not all she has in common with the crustaceans. One blustery night in France, I read No Name Key cover to cover, glad I’d locked the door and closed the shutters.”

My Last Chanceby Weston Parker

I’ve made lots of mistakes.

But never one like this.

Back in high school, the girl next door spent a serendipitous night in my arms. But she wasn’t my type or really up to my level.

So I walked away not knowing her secret–our secret.

Years later, I’m still at the top of my game, ruling my own chunk of the world.

She walks into my office a different woman. Strong, sexy, and dead set on revenge.

I need to walk away again, but I can’t. She’s a different person, and yet, all the things that first had me taking a chance with her pull me back in–deeper this time.

She’s going to wreck my life, one bad decision at a time, and fuck me, I’m going to let her.

The fact that the little man who calls her mom acts like me stops me in my tracks. He even loves the same things I do.

Surely not.

No damn way I’ve been a selfish bastard and haven’t considered the possibilities of our night together so long ago, but it’s true.

He’s mine, and I’m instantly in love with both of them.

I need one more chance, and I’ll do anything to get it.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Termination Orders (A Dan Morgan Thriller Book 1)by Leo J. Maloney

In this explosive novel of world-class suspense, former Black Ops veteran Leo J. Maloney traces a lethal conspiracy from the frontlines of battle to the backrooms of Washington to a single assassin’s bullet. . .

Termination Orders

Once a trained killer for the CIA, Dan Morgan has built a new life for himself. But when he receives a desperate plea from his former Black Ops partner–reportedly killed in a foreign battle zone–he flies to help. It should be a routine mission, extracting a human asset from the region. But it’s not routine; it’s an ambush. Now Morgan is running for his life, holding crucial evidence. With his contacts dead and family in danger, Morgan must take on a full-scale conspiracy in the highest echelons of a vast global network that plays by its own rules–when it suits them.

For Dan Morgan, it’s about to come to an end in Washington, D.C., on a national stage, in the crosshairs of a killer. . .

“Leo J. Maloney is a real-life Jason Bourne.” –Josh Zwylen, Wicked Local Stoneham

“A must-read thriller of torture, assassination, and double agents, where nothing is as it seems.” –Jon Renaud, author of Dereliction Duty

“A high-powered thriller. . .tense and terrifying!” –Hank Phillippi Ryan

“An outstanding thriller that rings with authenticity.” –John Gilstrap

While Leo J. Maloney was serving in the army in 1966, he was recruited by a United States government clandestine agency and received highly specialized Black Ops training. Among his assignments in the decades that followed were asset extraction, espionage, and numerous missions still too secret to divulge. Now retired, he lives in the Boston area.

My Second Chance Secret Babyby C. Morgan

It’s no secret that every woman wants me.

Charming, wealthy, and I have an empire for my legacy.

Unfortunately for most, I’m not the family kind of man.

You might call me a lone wolf. The guy who stands alone and loves it.

Late nights, good booze, and a hot woman on my arm are all I’m after.

Until a hot number from my past resurfaces.

She used to be the one I dreamt of growing old with, back when I wasted my time on hope, dreams, and the lies they offer.

Crazy enough, the chemistry between us is off the charts.

It’s been a long time since a woman has left my heart racing, my hands sweaty, and my body aching for a simple touch.

So I do what any gentleman might do to get around a lady he’s interested in–I offer her a job.

But something’s off. She’s got a little girl, and the angel looks a little too much like my side of the family.

Surely not.

I’m not looking for a long-term relationship, just a rekindling between the sheets.

Or so I tell myself. When the nagging truth is that maybe this is my second chance with the only girl I’ve ever loved.

Not sure if fate is offering me a dream or a nightmare, but either way, I’m taking it.

This woman is mine.

Inheriting Edith: A Novelby Zoe Fishman

A poignant breakout novel, for fans of J. Courtney Sullivan and Elin Hilderbrand, about a single mother who inherits a beautiful beach house with a caveat–she must take care of the ornery elderly woman who lives in it.

For years, Maggie Sheets has been an invisible hand in the glittering homes of wealthy New York City clients, scrubbing, dusting, mopping, and doing all she can to keep her head above water as a single mother. Everything changes when a former employer dies leaving Maggie a staggering inheritance. A house in Sag Harbor. The catch? It comes with an inhabitant: The deceased’s eighty-two-year old mother Edith.

Edith has Alzheimer’s–or so the doctors tell her–but she remembers exactly how her daughter Liza could light up a room, or bring dark clouds in her wake. And now Liza’s gone, by her own hand, and Edith has been left–like a chaise or strand of pearls–to a poorly dressed young woman with a toddler in tow.

Maggie and Edith are both certain this arrangement will be an utter disaster. But as summer days wane, a tenuous bond forms, and Edith, who feels the urgency of her diagnosis, shares a secret that she’s held close for five decades, launching Maggie on a mission that might just lead them each to what they are looking for.

The Gaslight Effect: You’re not crazy, they’re gaslighting you – How to stop emotional abuse, manipulation, and break free from the narcissist or psychopathby Dr.Theresa J. Covert

Still struggling from the effects of an abusive relationship?

Many people do and sadly there is very little information available to be found online or in the written research, or with counsellors and therapists that can help. The Gaslight Effect is not officially recognised, nor is it widely even known.
Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them.

DO THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR?
– Doubting yourself and your sanity
– Feeling like you’re losing your mind
– Feeling like you’re always apologizing
– You’re second-guessing your memory
– Feeling like you aren’t good enough
– Feeling misunderstood
– Feeling lonely
– Ruined self confidence
– Extreme weight loss or weight gain
– Uncharacteristic jealousy/ insecurity
– Feeling like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong
– Extreme paranoia (being turned into an obsessive detective)
– Endless, repetitive obsessive thinking about your ex
– Constantly trying to find explanations for what has happened
– Feelings of helplessness and despair
– A desire to self isolate
– Feeling desperately misunderstood
– Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief
– Extreme bouts of rage
– An inability to be comfortable with yourself
– Strange dreams
– Sudden inexplicable anxiety followed by rapid dips into depression

The list goes on….

“NOBODY UNDERSTANDS!”
I hear this frustrated cry from abused people a lot.

Gaslighting is a covert aggressive way of distorting another person’s perception of reality to the point that that person questions their sanity or their memory.
Gaslighting is crazy-making, it makes you think that you’re actually going crazy.
Gaslighting is a way of hiding the abuse.
Gaslighting is lying with a goal.

The motive behind the gaslighting is to make you think that you’re crazy or that your memory doesn’t work right. So you can’t trust yourself and your perceptions of reality.
This means you’ll defer to the abuser for an account of what’s real so slowly over time the abuser becomes the authority over your life.
Gaslighting takes place in relationships, like one-on-one relationships. It takes place in friendships, in family, in work, you’ll see gaslighting on the news, you’ll hear gaslighting coming from politicians, corporate shills, cult leaders, advertising commercials, etc.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

– 80 Things Narcissists Say During Gaslighting
– Six Empowering Ways to Disarm a Narcissist and Take Control

WHAT YOU NEED NOW:

– Someone who has been through the same experiences you have and understands them from the inside.

-Someone who has the knowledge, training, education and experience working on himself and others to lead you through the emotional sh*tstorm that breaking with a narcissist can create.

I can’t promise you that reading to this book is going to be a “total cure”, but I can promise that if you APPLY YOURSELF DILLIGENTLY, take notes, read and re-read the chapters, follow all instructions to the letter, with a  tenacious resolve to get better you will feel an instant decrease in anxiety within the first 24 hours and should see huge improvements within the first 3 days.

Broken Worldby Kate L. Mary

Follow a group of survivors on a journey that spans eleven books and twenty years as they search for safety in a world overrun by the dead…

When a deadly virus sweeps the country, Vivian sets out for California in hopes of seeing the daughter she gave up for adoption. Then her car breaks down and she’s faced with a choice: give up or accept a ride from redneck brothers, Angus and Axl. Vivian knows getting in the car with strangers is a risk, but with time running out, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to reach her daughter.

The virus is spreading, and by the time the group makes it to California, most of the population has already been wiped out. When the dead start coming back, Vivian and the others realize that no electricity or running water are the least of their concerns. Now Vivian must learn how to be a mom under the most frightening circumstances, cope with Angus’s aggressive mood swings, and sort out her growing attraction to his brooding younger brother, Axl.

While searching for a safe place to go, the group meets a pompous billionaire who may be the answer to all their problems. Trusting him means going into the middle of the Mojave Desert and possibly risking their lives, but with the streets overrun and nowhere else to turn, he might be their only chance for survival…
