woman defined by her strength and resilience, finds herself drawn to Peter, a
man who is both vulnerable and determined. They are two halves of a whole,

romantic love; it’s something deeper, a higher order love.”

The Vesper family lives in a small town in central Ohio. They’ve prepped, but

Battle on the Ohio
River
The Cold Winter Series Book 3
The Grid is Down.
A VIP upriver needs to be rescued.
Modern Engines can’t be trusted.
To win, the battle must turn unconventional….
And a little Historical.
A modern minuteman militia is operating out of Steubenville Ohio with a VIP to
deliver. Their Huey helicopter is grounded so travel is the old-fashioned way
on the Ohio River. Then it gets even more old-fashioned. Another militia in
Evansville Indiana has the World War 2 LST-325 in their command. Seven hundred
miles of river is between them, but the historic battleship is pushing upstream
to help. The battles along the Ohio River come to a conclusion in an epic
battle on Wheeling Island!
The Official Release date of this book was June 6, 2024, the 80th Anniversary
of D-Day. Chris Underwood was on the actual LST-325, docked on the Ohio River,
signing books for this official opening date. He has volunteered on this
historical ship and proud to include it in this book.
CHRIS UNDERWOOD lives in central Ohio with his wonderful
wife and three children who are one by one being pushed out the door for
college. His passions have included woodworking and the completion of a 10 year
historical home restoration, in addition to his Computer Consulting career.
More recently his passions for sailing and writing have been given more
attention in his life. Chris openly pines for the day that writing and sailing
completely consumes it. Creative Writing was always an interest, even decades
ago when in college at Ohio State. Business Writing courses were pushed to the
side in favor of Short Story and Sci-Fi. In the end, a Computer Science and
Accounting degree seemed more promising in today’s world and writing was put on
the back burner. Until a few years ago. A subject matter and storyline were
generated that created enough passion to put pen to paper. Now writing is a
daily event, with two more stories in process!

BAD ORDER
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
This is the incredible true story of railroad worker and union official Mike Elliott, targeted by his railroad employer, BNSF Railway Company, for his safety-related activities. As the union’s state legislative board chair, Elliott was the top safety official in the state, and the voice for over 900 rank & file locomotive engineers operating trains around the clock, every day of the year.
When his members reported a plethora of trackside signal malfunctions on the BNSF Seattle subdivision, Elliott went to the railroad first, asking that they fix the problems. When the BNSF failed to act, he contacted the government’s regulatory authority, the Federal Railroad Administration. That led to an FRA inspection of over 130 miles of the railroad’s track and signal systems turning up hundreds of federal defects – all with potential to put workers and the public at risk.
What followed was a retaliation plot reminiscent of the Nineteenth Century Robber Barons: A management-staged conflict at work, police called in, arrest, jail, criminal charges, and termination from his job – not once but twice.
The wrath, influence and power of North America’s largest freight railroad is unleased in full force and in an all-out attack on a whistleblower’s life, liberties, and career. An amazing journey of one man’s righteous battle against impossible odds and the nearly unlimited resources of a multi-billion-dollar corporation.
Read an Excerpt:
I began my railroad career in 1995 on the Burlington Northern Railroad. Within three years, I was certified in two railroad operating crafts: Conductor and Locomotive Engineer. Concurrently, I became involved with the local railroad unions, taking a keen interest in safety, especially crew fatigue. For several years, I held a division level safety position— Legislative Representative—working local safety issues in Pasco and Yakima, Washington. Concurrently, I headed a state-level union safety office, 1st Vice Chair to then-Chair Mark K. Ricci, PhD. But in 2007, I was moved up to Chair of the Washington State Legislative Board when, quite unexpectedly, Mark resigned mid-term. So began six of the most impactful years of my life. My chief responsibilities as Chair were to advocate for the safety and welfare of our 900 members—not only on the two Class I railroads, BNSF and Union Pacific, but also on Amtrak, Sounder commuter trains, and Tacoma Rail. I hoped my work would help improve workplace safety and, ultimately, prevent tragedies.
In the late spring and early summer of 2010, I received complaints about vegetation overgrowth blocking the view of signals on the tracks between Tacoma and Vancouver, Washington—about 133 miles of tracks. Interestingly, most of the complaints were from my Union Pacific membership whose jobs running trains co-exist with BNSF on that segment of railroad track. I knew it wasn’t that UP train crews just liked to complain or that BNSF train crews didn’t care. More likely, BNSF train crews had learned from bitter experience that management retaliation was the reward for those who dared to be the “squeaky wheel.”
When I use the word “complaints,” I’m not talking about petty gripes. Not at all. These were legitimate safety complaints about the signals controlling train movement along “double-track” territory known as the BNSF Seattle Subdivision, a segment of right-of-way where BNSF and UP share track in a joint-use arrangement. The complaints were a straight-up red-flag warning from professional train crews who worked the line on a regular basis. These warnings needed to be heard; their complaints needed to be heeded. And they required immediate action.
About the Author: Mike Elliott was born and raised in Washington State. He enjoys the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest, classic rock & roll music, vintage stereo gear, home cooked meals, and Seattle Mariners baseball. He lives in Tacoma, Washington.

In the Dark
The Cities Below Book 1
by Jen Colly
Genre:
Paranormal Romance
Fate will not be denied.
Faith should
be crowned “Queen of the Wrong Place and Wrong Time.” Her impulsive,
solo trip to Paris seems like a genius idea – until she loses her way back to
the hotel. In the rain. At night. When the two men she flags down for
directions shove her into the nearest alley, she fears the worst.
Soren was
irritable. Not surprising as he’d held off feeding as long as possible. The
thought of feeding from someone he knew turned his stomach, and so he ventured
above to become just another body in the chaos of Paris. But when the cries of
a female in distress reach his ears, everything inside him demands he protect
her, and he is unable to hide the true nature of his species.
Soren has no
choice but to keep her and bring her to his underground city. It doesn’t take
him long to realize why he’d been drawn to Paris, to that street, that
alley…Faith. She is the other half of his soul. Admitting the truth to her
could damage the fragile connection they built, but when an old enemy, lurking
in the dark attacks, they are separated. Now, he may never have the chance.

The Cities Below Book 2
His heart
belongs to one woman, his life to another.
Keir didn’t
exist. Not anymore. The Lady of Galbraith had saved him from death. Forever
indebted to her alone, Keir had become her confidant, her spy, her assassin. He
was her secret weapon against those trying to remove her from power. When Keir
is ambushed by a pack of demons, he used the last of his strength to return
home and warn the Lady of impending danger.
To say she
was stunned when a dying man fell to her feet, was an understatement. For the
first time in her life, Cleo acted on instinct and without hesitation – their
lives now undeniably bound together. Her single act of benevolence left her
reeling, confronted with the knowledge that a stranger had more care and
consideration for her well-being than her own family.
Political
upheaval is sweeping through the city of Galbraith, splitting alliances and
stoking discord. When Cleo is abducted, taken in retaliation from the side
she’s chosen, only Keir can get her back. And he will, even if he must start a
war.

Beneath

The Cities
Below Book 3
Demons are
not the only enemy among them…
Waking from a
seven year healing sleep should have been the biggest shock of Navarre’s night.
It was not. The brave female standing before him was, without a doubt, his
fated mate. That wasn’t the stunner either. She’d been sent here to feed him,
to bring him back and restore his strength, risking her life to save his.
Still, not yet the biggest surprise. What had Navarre reeling was her red hair.
She was decidedly not his kind.
Cat had
responsibilities. Five, to be exact. The children in her care were not hers,
but she would do anything to protect them, and that meant staying in Balinese.
The evidence of her mixed species was something she could not hide. As this
city belonged to Navarre, only he has the authority to allow her to stay. Cat
willingly faces her greatest fear, and with it, her past.
Beneath the
night, a dark plot unfolds, and Navarre finds himself in danger of losing not
only Cat, but his entire city.

Sheltered
The Cities Below Book 4
When the
enemy is your mind, there is no escape.
Bette feared
the city, and for good reason. Valenna had become corrupt, targeting citizens
with any substantial amount of wealth or power to their name. Her self-imposed
solitary confinement caused her to lose track of time, and her sanity. She
could no longer live this way. Only three solutions existed: allow Valenna to
dictate her fate, die in the sun, or flee to the fabled city of peace. Bette
ran.
Rollin was a
Guardian. His job defined his life, the man he’d become, and his core beliefs.
Everything he did was in service to the city of Balinese and the citizens
within. When a terrified female crashed into his arms, begging for help, he did
not hesitate. Everyone and everything seemed to frighten her, except Rollin. He
took her home, and once safe under his protection, she began to flourish.
Problem was,
in her plea for sanctuary, she claimed a demon chased her toward Balinese, but
none had been found. His affection for her grows rapidly, as does his concern
over her lie. Then, the arrival of a demon forces Rollin to question his
beliefs, his place among the royal family, and the motives of the woman he so
lovingly sheltered.

Savard was in

could see him while in his invisible Spirit form. Unique to this world, this
woman’s singularity was a danger to the entire vampire race.
Waking behind
bars in an underground vampire city was not how Sera envisioned her night drive
ending. She has come to expect nothing from those who pass through her life,
but this man, dying on the side of the road, proves to be different. Savard
fights to free her from tyrannical vampire laws and to hide her unique
abilities. What Sera doesn’t understand, is why he would fight his growing love

Savard’s

Night Stalker
The Cities Below Book 6
He had
every intention of crossing a line.
In all
honesty, Jake had to give his trip to Paris mixed reviews. Beaten and broken by
seemingly invincible men with eerie red eyes marked the low point, but
abduction by a sexy, knife-wielding vampire? Better than fireworks on the
Fourth of July. She was the best medicine for a wounded man’s body and soul. A
few busted ribs cost him precious time, but he had to keep moving. Call it
vengeance or justice, either way, Jake had a man to kill.
Dulcina had
witnessed the destruction left in the wake of demons for far too many years to
be rattled by a bloody body. She brought him home and catered to his comfort.
Big mistake. The smart-mouth, irritatingly likable man pulled through, and was
determined to leave, but with knowledge of other species in his head, the human
is a problem.
To stop Jake
from escaping, Dulcina promised to help him finish his mission, but the price
was steep, and neither were prepared for what they discovered. Secrets are
uncovered, and as a Night Stalker charged with protecting all species, Dulcina
is forced to make a difficult choice.

THE MEASURE OF ENOUGH
THE MEASURE OF ENOUGH
Deonna Kay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Psychological Fiction/Women’s Fiction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Thirty-four-year old social worker, Kacee Robinson, runs a non-profit agency helping women and children move away from bad situations. Kacee moved away from her own bad situation years ago and pledged never to return to her hometown of Glendale, Texas, or to the mother who abandoned her right smack in the middle of her hateful pre-adolescent years—just when she needed her most.
Now it is Kacee’s mother who needs something from her. With the entire town rallying behind the cry, Kacee has a decision to make. She can put aside everything she thought she ever knew about this woman who made a feeble attempt at raising her, return to the town, and conduct the necessary business like the grown-up professional she knows she is. Or she can stand her ground, continuing to struggle with the nagging questions and residual scars of her childhood.
Before she can make a decision, Kacee fears her life may be in danger and a rapid turn of events prompts resolutions that cannot be undone, setting into motion a slide of events as slick as the oil-engendered family from which Kacee was born.
The echoes of the past reach out to her while in Glendale, grabbing on and not letting go as they wind her down a country road through pages of her mother’s journals and twisting her into an unexpected new fate from which she will never be the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT
Nobody ever expects to get the one phone call that will change their life. They expect it less to come from a crotchety old biddy regarded as the town gossip. Yet, sitting at my desk at TrueU, the non-profit agency I own, on a perfectly good November day in the perfectly good town of Glendale, Texas, my perfectly good life (okay that part is a lie), but my reasonably mundane life was disrupted by none other than the infamous Edna McIntyre.
Having already dealt with a domestic violence situation and spoken with child protective services over a custody battle—all prior to ten a.m.—I slumped behind my large mahogany desk in exhaustion, head buried in my hands and noted those same fingers to be in desperate need of a manicure. The southern drawl of my assistant Dottie broke through the intercom like the shattering of glass, tearing me out of concentration.

Q & A With … Deonna Kay
Tell us about you as a person.
Thank you for having me on the show. I am a middle-aged southern woman from Texas who loves reading, animals, and has a weird obsession with numbers. I enjoy travelling, particularly to Disney World, and I’m living out one of my lifelong dreams of authorship as we speak.
If you could hang out with one famous person for one day, who would it be
and why? If I could only choose one person, I’d have to say Walt Disney. He’s inspired so many generations with his creativity and vision. Long beyond his death, his legacy lives on in the hearts of millions of children and adults and continues to motivate others to harness their inner goodness.
What’s the story behind your latest book?
The Measure of Enough is a story about Kacee Robinson. She’s a thirty-four-year-old social worker from Texas who is struggling with a jaded past and a request to return to her hometown and assist her mother, to whom she credits most of her childhood trauma. As she explores the depths of town whispers and past transgressions, she realizes that everything she thought she knew about her childhood may not be exactly as she remembers. Through the help of her beloved aunt, she unpacks years of memories and finds more than she bargains for while juggling her own dangerous circumstances. In the end, she must decide if she’s written the correct villain to her own story or if she needs to change the ending.
What advice do you have for other writers who want to get the word out
about their latest book? I’d say you need to build your community and start with a newsletter. My newsletter jumpstarted my own building blocks.
List 5 things on your bucket list.
1. Write another book.
2. Visit Paris, France.
3. Visit all the Disney resorts.
4. Retire from my full-time job by the time I’m 60.
5. Write a series.
Any final thoughts?
Thank you for having me today, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to read The Measure of Enough. You will never know what it means to an author to have someone read their book!

The Fourth Kinetic
X-Men meets Raising Dion – check out the cover reveal!
The Fourth Kinetic
Clairvoyants Book 1
by Brady Moore
Genre: YA Fantasy
In this world, there are four strains of clairvoyants:
Kinetics who can move objects with their minds, Prophets who have involuntary
visions of the future, Readers who can delve into the innermost thoughts of
others in an instant, and Aural who can transfer their consciousness to control
the bodies of others.
At just 17 years old, Rion Grean is a Kinetic with no knowledge that he is not
alone in his abilities. His protective mother had kept them constantly moving,
even going as far as refusing to tell Rion about his father whom he never met.
However, when an accident separates them, Rion finds himself being pursued by a
covert militaristic force that sees his kind as dangerous anomalies in society.
Suddenly thrust into a world filled with different factions of Clairvoyants,
Rion must navigate through alliances and betrayals to determine who he can
trust.
Despite his natural talents and intelligence, Rion has always struggled to make
friends and find purpose in life due to his sheltered upbringing. But as he
faces challenges outside of his comfort zone, he learns the true meaning of
friendship and family. This is not a typical story of good versus evil; it is a
deeply personal journey of self-discovery and the struggle to coexist in a
society that fears what it cannot understand.

opposites in every way, but they might just be the perfect match.
Believing In You
Priestly Family Series Book 1
by Sharon C. Cooper
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
They’re opposites in every way, but they might just be the perfect match.
After
a case of mistaken identity, riddled with betrayal, Harrison Grant is
struggling to open himself up to other people again. He lost a part of himself
while in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, and it seems impossible to move
forward.
Enter
Nyla Priestly. She’s a woman with a bubbly smile for everyone she meets and who
always has a kind word to say. The jaded version of Harrison wants to doubt her
personality is real. No one can be that happy all the time. Right?
Nyla
has never been into the broody type. Yet something about Harrison makes her
body crave him. Sure, he’s gorgeous and happens to be one of the sexiest
saxophone players she’s ever met. But achieving her dream of owning Moody Days
Jazz Club is top priority. She doesn’t have time to deal with a man. No matter
how good he makes her feel.
As
Harrison falls for Nyla and helps her fulfill her dreams, can her unceasing
love be enough for him to trust again?
