White slavery in t...









White slavery in the twentieth century…


 


A boy, once a coal miner, tunnels under enemy trenches…


 


A young housekeeper seduced by a married Earl…


 


An English aristocrat runs away to enemy territory with a dashing German spy…


 


Monarchies more fit to fight Napoleon’s nineteenth-century armies square off against the Kaiser’s cutting-edge mechanical war machine.


 


Feel the thunder as oppressive empires come crashing to the ground and duck for cover as battling factions claim their remains.


 


Will the victors find true freedom, or will they fall into ever more tangled shackles?


 


Action, espionage, love and bloody revolution await you within Ken Follet’s, Fall of Giants.


 


Get it now!

James Michener’s Caribbean










Greetings, Adventure Seekers, from the treacherous frozen north.


Have you ever wondered if pirate villages, like in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, actually existed, or thought, where did all that supposed pirate booty come from? Have you ever asked yourself who really were those pirates and were they as colorful as One-Eyed Willy from The Goonies? Buccaneers, Aztec gold, lost castaways, and Spanish Armadas, James Michener’s Caribbean has it all.


Learn about the birth of the two Americas and follow their colonies battle over gold, sugar and the Spanish Main, all while trying to navigate the harsh moralities of slavery.


Will Spanish wealth rule the Caribbean, will pirates terrorize and dominate the Spanish lake or will England’s shrewd empire win the day? Find out that and more, all while swashbuckling through James Michener’s Caribbean.

Enemies must now become allies, and friends may become foes. To rescue his village, can Cyrus walk the thin line between good and evil, or will hate guide his way?

The reason I’m asking for reviews is reader reviews are the lifeblood of any author’s career. For new authors like myself, getting reviews (especially on Amazon) means I can submit my books for advertising, which means I can actually sell a few copies from time to time – which is always a nice bonus

COVER ART CONCEPT 5 and 6 BY DEREK STENNING

Now that I had Cyrus’ face right, I wanted his clothing to be less fantasy-like and more


functional, so I asked Derek to make the piping on the jacket straight, not swirled.



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Then I asked Derek to remove the accessories on Cyrus’ cap and to make the knife


straight, rather than jagged.
