Seeking revenge for the death of a friend ten long years ago, Major Jake Nanden has pursued his own personal demons with an almost religious fervour through life and through battle. He is a soldier so highly decorated for bravery that his fame reaches far beyond the desolate Jupiter moon, Io, where his battalion is stationed. His victories in the Jupiter Wars are hollow though, for he is a man scared of his own soul. His life seems to be a trap from which he cannot escape. His is the Replicant Company, and replicants, or clones, are despised by all. Book 2: Unknown Place, Unknown Universe Three rookie space cadets crash on an unknown planet with aliens hot on their tail! While a dissident alien scientist struggles to control time, he discovers that his wife will betray him. His favourite student discovers a way to see into the past but find himself surrounded by enemies in a complex, fragmenting culture. Meanwhile, Stone, douchebag son of Iron Cross winner Jake Nanden, a nerd and a feminist from the Space Fleet Academy crash-land on an unknown planet after falling through a worm-hole in this gripping and visionary science fiction thriller. Called Anubians by humans, the jackal-headed aliens are now revealed as Ischians but they are hiding something on this unknown planet in an unknown universe. Stone's world is shattered while he tries to escape and warn Earth of danger. Book 3: Worlds Like Dust Domes now cover Earth's big cities and soon a force field will trap Earth inside! The jackal-headed Ischians are here! When General Jake Nanden retired from the USAC, he could never have guessed that his greatest battle was still to come. Since then, he has joined a spiritual cult called the Blue Path, trying to establish communication with a few peaceful Ischians. But now his world has been torn apart; his wife and youngest son have been killed, probably his eldest too and the Los Angeles and Washington citizens sweat it out under inescapable alien domes. His son, Stone, warned him of the invasion and he joined up with Gary Enquine to form a rudimentary resistance network. Now, they must find a way to rise up and defeat the conquerors of Earth! Nanden must escape and unite the remaining human and clone forces, scattered across the Solar System. Likened to a cross between Blade Runner and Paths of Glory, you simply must read this beautifully constructed, intensely dark and powerful Science Fiction thriller Series, if you love Phillip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov. Character interview with Jake Nanden. Name (s): Jake Nanden Age: 34 Please tell us a little about yourself. I am 5'11', dark hair, short - Army cut, slightly curly. Green eyes. Describe your appearance in 10 words or less. Getting middle aged, slightly paunchy with drying skin - like paper in places - except my mech arm. That's synthetic skin on there and as smooth and supple as the day it was sprayed on. I even had mine tattooed but don't tell anyone. Would you kill for those you love? I kill every day - most days - to keep my culture intact. I would say that is killing for those I love. Of course there is a moral code... And as a soldier the moral code is almost everything. After a while... killing... it sometimes seems to be the only thing you have left. Family are too far away.

Book excerpt: Sharon Sholl is an ordinary girl growing up in America. She meets an ordinary young man, Mark Main, two weeks before her sixteenth birthday, who blows to pieces her little world, she says of him. An American Girl is a relational journey, which, no matter how you look at it, is a love story. Sharon's love story is about her extraordinary life with Mark whom she met in 1968, four weeks before he was to leave for Vietnam. From the moment she was born, she also traveled a relational journey with the God of the universe, the Creator God. She didn't pursue that relationship seriously until in her early forties, she and Mark came to a point in their marriage when it seemed as though they had hit rock bottom. Sharon presents the beautiful, the distressing, and the unattractive of her journey of nearly seventy years. Perhaps as you read about this ordinary American girl, you will identify with some of the challenges but mostly with the joys one encounters in this life on earth, joys that are available to all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per her 537 rules, Harper Campbell keeps her life tidy—academically and socially. But the moment Sterling Lane transfers into her tiny boarding school, her twin brother gets swept up in Sterling’s pranks and schemes and nearly gets expelled. Harper knows it’s Sterling’s fault, and to protect her brother, she vows to take him down. As she exposes his endless school violations, he keeps striking back, framing her for his own infractions. Worst of all, he’s charmed the administration into thinking he’s harmless, and only Harper sees him for the troublemaker he absolutely is. As she breaks rule after precious rule in her battle of wits against Sterling and tension between them hits a boiling point, she’s horrified to discover that perhaps the two of them aren’t so different. And maybe she doesn't entirely hate him after all. Teaming up with Sterling to save her brother might be the only way to keep from breaking the most important rule—protecting Cole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: this is a story about love! The world needs love, more than ever now . . . and I need the forgiving grace of God, truly! And the love of Ghee Ghee (Lucy), to move me away from this lonely, hideous hell, to nearer, and nearer heaven! Because greed hate, arrogance and sin are legislated! And shot into our body, souls and our veins like some small pox or swine flue vaccine . . . and only God’s love grace can turn the hands of time! Because, my heart was left, so cold, alone . . . and abandoned! And for my, poor heart, Gloria, no one can ever, take your place! Shall I not ever kiss you, or touch your waiting hands, or hear you call my name, so tenderly sweet? Was the last time I saw you the last time? If this be so, then . . . what a cold, cruel world, and life I have stumbled into! Can the world see this loneliness reflected in my eyes or on my face, as I choke back the tears, daily? Do they know my love lost? I think I hide it fairly well! But how much longer must I wait? Is it that . . . I’m so very eager, to hold you once more? Come to me and let me put my arms, around you! Closer . . . that I might fill my lungs, with you! And if I can’t have you, in this night-marish waking state, then to hell with it! Then come to me at night, every night, in my dreams! That I may profess my love for you; that I may have my never-ending fill of you! That you may call my name and say “Daa, come and take me right now!” I’m gonna keep waiting . . . and hoping . . . and . . . praying! Oh dear God, what is this that drives . . . and whirls me so? Between her voluptuous bosoms of pleasure, caressing mounds of luscious lure, with nipples erect, sweeter than grapes for sure! To taste this fruit is heaven! So pleasing to mine eyes, taste, touch, aroma, and I now breathe heavily! Her hair compliments the reflection of the face of the Most High! So beautiful, wet and warm, is this “soul treasure” A gift from God that, I love and long to partake, and be in heaven, even if for a moment only! And if I could recreate you, I would change nothing! Add, nor take away! The same curves of your body that surrounds this succulent fruit! And . . . God has made no other touch, as pleasing! Verily I tell you that, Gloria 22 David T. Hardison Lucy Garzia, is the Madonna, the ultimate of God’s feminine creation! How divine! So asterios; so for real! And yet, for me, so inaccessible! I mean . . . she’s so fine, she’s granulated! My heart shall never rest, till I hold you, at least, once more! No matter how far away you are! I shall never forget the night, you wanted to hurry home, to be loved, to sleep! Such colossal kisses, enormous wishes . . . and immense longings, for your love! To be intertwined, in your arms divine, as you and I eagerly disrobe! Now the petting . . . and heavy, sweating . . . oh, we’re climbing up the walls! Oh curses . . . its only pictures, in my mind! And back to reality, I find my arms empty, with nothing but aching longings for your love! And nothing, and no one . . . could ever, take your place Gloria! I adore . . . and need your love’s, warm, embrace, more than hope, money, wisdom, dreams or a drink! I need your love! For, when I look into your deep dark eyes, the sun begins to shine, and all about us is a sweet sweet melody! A song so sweet, the blue birds of happiness stop, and listen to the sweet song about us. Her eyes are a pool of calm, and I am bathed in her loving glow! The treasures are abundant, when she embraces me, and I’ve found the pot of gold! And the rainbow’s spectrum bridges, our two hearts! And your, tender full lips, and her kisses . . . and the touch of velvety silk, are one. Unlike any love I’ve ever known before or since then! It’s like thunder! Lightning! The way Lucy excites me! There’s no going back! The world did take on a new glow! But now all is left are clouds . . . dark and dank storm clouds . . . and no one, can ever, take your place! But when

In deadly play is also the desperate hunt for $7 million in twice stolen jewelry.

Grogan is an award-winning author, his books include Lafayette, Courtier to Crown Fugitive. *** “I don’t know if Mayor Goodfella is believable. After all, I’m quiet and unassuming and I know for fact we never had mobsters in Las Vegas.” Snarky comment from former Las Vegas Mayor, Oscar B. Goodman and board director of The Mob Museum “Vegas Die is the ultimate Sin City mystery.” – author Brian Rouff

Book excerpt: “An epic story of show-biz dreams.” —Mike Foley “It’s this generation’s American Graffiti — it’s Happy Days slammed into Resurrection Boulevard.” —Rick Marcelli “Johnson’s memory for the adventures we shared breaking into show business is seamless.” —Edward James Olmos Kids, This Is Rock ‘N’ Roll: A Rockin’ and Rollin’ Memoir Made on the 1960s Sunset Strip in Hollywood Here is a story that is glamorous, inspiring, and gritty — a marvelous fusion of the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life and music and passion in 1960s Hollywood, California, the place where dreams are made and chased and, sometimes, die. When Steven “Rusty” Johnson, Eddie Olmos, and Joey Zagarino met in high school in 1962, the sky was the limit and rock ‘n’ roll stardom was a record deal away. These three friends forged a life-long friendship that would take them through triumph and tragedy, victory and defeat, success and failure — all in the pursuit of reaching the rock ‘n’ roll dream. This is not only the story of three dreamers, it is a true tale that shows that success — and life — is about taking it from the top, catching a good groove, and taking it one beat at a time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a manager, human resources professional or business owner, you are faced with these types of issues every day. But why? Because currently, there are five generations in the workplace: Radio Babies (born during 1930-1945); Baby Boomers (1946-1964); Generation X (1965-1976); Generation Y (1977-1991); even some Millennials (1991 and later). Each of them has a different perspective, based on their upbringing and daily lives. The key to making encounters between the generations successful is learning to understand the point of view of each generation and respect their differences. The individuals and organizations that do this will be the ones to succeed. This book will show you how. Authors Gravett and Throckmorton take a dynamic approach to the situation by writing in two distinct voices — as a Baby Boomer and a Gen Xer — using a "point-counterpoint" approach to identify differences and similarities across generations. They share hands-on experiences, real-life cases, recommended solutions and ground-breaking research on how members of any generation can better relate to minimize conflict, miscommunication and wasted energy. You will learn what each generation thinks of the others and how each wishes the others viewed it. Bridging the Generation Gap is filled with strategies and solutions you can implement immediately to help build your own bridge between the generations.

Book excerpt: Mello Yello is the intimate life story of music industry legend Jack Gibson a/k/a “Jack the Rapper.” Launching the careers of countless superstars, Gibson forged enduring friendships with some of the most illustrious African American personalities of the twentieth century. His long reaching influence began in 1949, when he and J.B. Blayton established the first black-owned radio station in the United States. As an emcee and promoter, he built enduring friendships with the early black royalty of the entertainment world, among them, Sammy Davis, Jr., Billie Holiday, Erroll Garner, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, and Ray Charles. When he was hired by Berry Gordy to head up promotion at a fledgling record company called Motown, Gibson befriended a new crop of stars, including Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, and Smokey Robinson. Moving on to the Revelot label, and then to Stax, Gibson’s uncanny timing once again positioned him to further the careers of Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Rufus Thomas, Carla Thomas and many others. In addition to his involvement in the music scene, Gibson gave voice to the history as he lived it—covering the Civil Rights Movement, interviewing Malcolm X, and conducting a man-on-the-street report from Detroit as it burned following Dr. King’s assassination. With the publication of his influential Black trade magazine called The Mello Yello, The Rapper established a forum for discussions and contributed to sweeping changes for African Americans in radio and the recording industry. But his most long-reaching achievement was his glittering “Family Affair”—an annual black music convention that provided a springboard for new talent. Each year, without fail, the heavy hitters of the music industry cleared their schedules to lend their talents to the Family Affair: Prince, Tina Turner, Nancy Wilson, Janet Jackson, James Brown, Whitney Houston, Eddie Murphy, Hammer, Toni Braxton, Sinbad, L.L. Cool J. And the list goes on like a “Who’s Who” of entertainment superstars. After being honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, other accolades began to roll in from the United States Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, and countless other organizations. But The Rapper wasn’t finished yet. With decades of stories and music still alive in his soul, he returned to his roots—radio. Nearly fifty years after his beginnings at WERD, Jack The Rapper’s voice once again crackled across the airwaves in Las Vegas, Nevada, proclaiming three simple words: “I’m still here.”

Book excerpt: and The Huffington Post. Kavalek could speak from experience as he had played with or met all the chess greats of the twentieth century. He assisted Bobby Fischer during the legendary Match of the Century in Reykjavik in 1972, and on various occasions he was the second of Nigel Short and Jan Timman. He also was the tournament director of the prestigious World Cup organized by the Grandmasters Association. But first and foremost, he was an elite player, winning countless tournaments and brilliancy prizes. At the end of his life, Kavalek started writing his memoirs. With humour, wit and passion, he put on paper the compelling story of his adventurous life and rich chess career. When he passed away in 2021, he had all but finished the book he had been working on with the Czech-American writer Jan Novak, who prepared the manuscript for publication. Kavalek's memoir makes for compelling reading and evokes his fascinating journey in life and the chess world. His story is supplemented by more than fifty of his best games, many with Kavalek's entertaining comments.
