Pacific War Ghosts is a personal account of author Tony Maxwell’s travels to the South Pacific battlefields of World War II, in search of the fast disappearing relics of that titanic struggle.

Over a number of years, the author visited and photographed the relics of war on the battlefields of Kokoda, Gona, Buna and Sanananda in Papua New Guinea. He travelled to Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, Kahili and Yamamoto’s bomber on Bougainville and the treasure trove of Japanese aircraft wrecks on the island of Ballale in the northern Solomons.

He visited the island battlefield of Betio in the Tarawa chain of islands, photographing the remains of tanks, guns and bunkers still to be seen after that epic battle.

Pacific War Ghosts is profusely illustrated with over 100 black and white photographs and six maps.

A rash of bizarre murders swept the country…

Senseless. Brutal. Seemingly unconnected.

A cop walked into a nursing home and unloaded his weapons on elderly and staff alike.

A mass of school shootings.

Prison riots of unprecedented brutality.

Mind-boggling acts of violence in every state.

The murders increased ten-fold…

They’re reading the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. You are listening over the battery-powered radio on your kitchen table, and they’ve just read yours.

Your name is Jack Colclough. You have a wife, a daughter, and a young son. You live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. People are coming to your house to kill you and your family. You don’t know why, but you don’t have time to think about that any more.

The Good Daughter: A Mafia Story (Vista Security Origins)

***Special Price-Limited Time SALE-regular price $3.99***

A 2012 RT Book Reviews Indie Press/Self-Published Contemporary Romance Nominee!

Most good daughters would say they owe their fathers everything. Marisa Peruzzo, Mafia princess, would.

She owed him for killing her fiancé.

She owed him for destroying her mother.

She owed him for chaining her to the ‘family business’.

And she owed him for taking away her lifelong friend.

Payback’s a bitch.

FBI meets Mafia Princess:

Dave sat up straighter when she entered the bar. Sandro had promised the contact would have useful information and be immediately recognizable, but he never specified male or female. Was this his informant? Carlo Peruzzo’s daughter. The Mafia princess herself.

Her gaze scanned the room until she saw him. Though her lips were pressed in a straight line, a sparkle flashed in her eyes as if she knew just how she had shocked him.Dave realized his heart rate had kicked up a few notches when their eyes had locked. His jaw would have dropped if he hadn’t been the kind of guy trained not to show his emotions.

She walked purposefully toward him, making her way through the crowded tables. Black designer jeans hugged nice curvy hips, and her full breasts were covered with a pink plaid, pearl-button western shirt. Interesting color choice. A leather belt wrapped around her waist, and his focus narrowed. Best he could tell the belt was pink, too. And there were some kind of pink jewels inlaid in the buckle.

He hid a smile. The only thing that would complete the color coordination was if she had on-he looked down, yep, pink cowboy boots. Pretty-in-pink cowgirl-Mafia princess. That certainly wasn’t an image he expected to see. With her head high, and her gaze fixed on him she seemed unaware-or unaffected-by the attention she garnered. And she certainly got a fair share of stares. He saw more than one man pause with a drink halfway to his mouth, head swiveling to keep track as she walked past.

Dave had never seen the high-and-mighty Mafia daughter in anything other than expensive business suits, with her hair pulled back and her makeup understated, but tonight she wore this chic knock-off cowgirl look well. With her dark wavy hair swinging free around her shoulders, her smooth olive skin glowing, and lips a luscious color of pink to match as well, she could raise the lust level in a saint.

Dave was no saint.

“Working with Tony is like jumping into the arms of your favorite aunt. Except it’s not. At all. I mean, his methods work. But it’s not like that at all.”

- Jane Lynch – Glee

“I confess to being a full-blown ‘gymophobe.’  (I still have flashbacks of my mean fourth-grade gym teacher!)  Tony actually makes the gym panic-attack free.”

- Tom Kenny – Voice of Spongebob

“Wait.  You mean the short skinny trainer dude with the neon sneakers who writes books about women’s menstrual cramps?  Did  he ever get  a single menstrual cramp?  I don’t think so.  The guy who helps fat people get skinnier?  Was he ever fat ? I don’t think so.  And what’s with th whole fake I don’t talk thing?  Is it turrets?  If he did talk, would it be a string of expletives even I would be offended by?   I guess he has a sense of humor.  That’s something good.”

- Betty Thomas – Director – 28 Days, The Brady Bunch Movie, etc.

“You can argue with Tony, or you can do what he says and buy smaller jeans.”

- Kari Wahlgren – Voice of Tigres – Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness
