Book Description:

One June night, on a dark country road, two worlds—one of privilege and wealth, one modest and plain—collide, and tragedy forces two families together, causing both to question the lives they lead.


Taylor Loden, future heiress to her father’s media empire, is fused 24/7 to her two cell phones, wakes up in the middle of the night to check emails, and has never examined her breakneck work pace or her empty life until she meets the Old Order Amish Yoder family of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.


Taylor has zero desire to muck a barn or strip tobacco, yet feels compelled, for reasons she’s not prone to analyze, to temporarily trade her technology-fueled business life in Philadelphia for country life without electricity on the Yoder farm. While she strives to adapt to Amish life, she bonds with the family, especially with two of the Yoder siblings: Jacob and Becca.


Jacob, the eldest son, refuses to baptize and join the church, and according to his frustrated father, lacks direction. He not only faces a grave physical challenge resulting from his actions that June night, but also harbors a secret that threatens to upend his family and community.


Becca is 16, just entering her rumspringa, the time period when she is free to explore the normally forbidden modern world. When Taylor returns to her Philadelphia penthouse, Becca accompanies her for the summer and for the first time is exposed to city life—museums, music, technology, restaurants, fashion, even religious faiths different from her own.


Taylor mentors Becca’s city fling and helps Jacob conceal his secret, actions that jeopardize her relationship with the Yoder family and her father. As the two cultures clash, both families struggle to determine whether the deep ties that bind them are greater than the differences that may tear them apart. Ultimately, Taylor, Jacob and Becca must answer for themselves: Are we more than what we do for a living or where we’re born? And if so, what price, if any, is too steep to walk away from family expectations?

Book Description:

Siobhan Dunmoore was not having a good war. She’s had more ships shot out from under her by the invading Shrehari Empire than any other officer in the Fleet. Some called her overly aggressive. Others simply called her reckless. What the enemy called her was something else altogether. That she gave the Shrehari a good drubbing along the way didn’t matter in the least, because not all her enemies wore an Imperial uniform. A reputation for bad luck was pretty much the only reputation she had left.


Sailing yet another ruined starship home after a near defeat, she wanted nothing more than a long, long rest, because this time, she had escaped by the thinnest of bluffs. Unfortunately, the Admiralty had other ideas. The frigate Stingray was known as the unluckiest ship in the Fleet and her Captain had just been removed in disgrace for cowardice. Some in the Admiralty would dearly love to retire the old warhorse. After all, she was the last of her type left in service, and perhaps it was time to break up the jinx permanently, along with the crew. But in the midst of an interstellar war, every ship that could fight was needed. In short order, Dunmoore went from staring down the Empire’s finest on the bridge of a wrecked battleship to taking on a demoralized, semi-mutinous crew, scheming Admirals and a deadly mystery. Stingray’s bad luck wasn’t just superstition gone rampant. Between a crew that won’t talk, political enemies who want her gone, and her personal demons, she’s got her hands full. Taking the frigate into battle under those conditions would seem foolish to anyone else, but Dunmoore was never one to shrink from a good fight. Failure was not an option, and defeat not an acceptable alternative, for there was no honor in death, only in victory. She would redeem herself and her ship or be damned for all eternity.

Book Description:

The stories I’m going to share with you throughout these pages have impacted my life in so many ways and, truth be told, my experiences have molded me into the man I am today. When it all started, I was a young man positioned to help a million dollar “company” become healthy again…and I succeeded. This company aka “athlete” was one of the best in a sport that is cutthroat and excels at chewing you up and spitting you out.


I was burned, lied to, and ultimately realized that loyalty is not the norm. I grew up as a man very fast as I traveled the world in my twenties and thirties with the “million dollar company.” The impact I know I made was rewarding and can never be taken from me — my desire and focus has always been on helping others and that desire has only grown in intensity.


This book is a game changer for someone in or getting into the professional athlete performance arena. You’ll find it hard to believe what some of these athletes and their surrounding support team go through all for the sake of entertainment. This book will change your thought process when it comes to certain aspects of pro sports and training, and it comes down to who you choose to surround yourself with and how much you want to listen

A Quick Reminder About Freebies

Here’s a quick reminder – if I or anyone else tells you about a book being offered for free or discounted on the Amazon Kindle website and you are interested, please jump on it immediately. Don’t wait a few days or even a couple of hours, or you may see the book being offered for sale vs. what you thought was free! I’ve seen it happen many times over the years.


Why does that happen? Sometimes there is a glitch to the Amazon system, an author may have forgot to set the book’s promotion on the Amazon website, or who knows?


Bottom line here is don’t wait – log on to the website frequently (www.fkbt.com) or check your email shortly after 8:00 a.m. Central time for the daily digest if you are subscribed to the free daily email. Grab them now as once the book is yours, no matter if you paid nothing or $100 for a book, it is yours forever!


I should say something similar about books discounted to 99 cents: the author, for example, has told me their book(s) will be discounted for a particular day and I set the posts up in advance. The same issue that can cause titles to not be free can also apply to the discounting for a particular day. Please make sure you verify the pricing on the Amazon website before you click the “buy” button.


Hope that helps!


Michael

Book Description:

They say home is where the heart is but if that’s true, then I’m lost. I have no clue where my heart is anymore. I thought I knew—until I met Maximillian.


I was on my way out of D.C. before the local vampires could catch on to me and let’s just say if that happened, then this club dancer would be facing her expiration date. That’s when the famous DJ blew into town—and into my heart.


I should have cut bait and run like hell, but I couldn’t abandon someone I could heal—even if it meant losing my freedom or even my life. Besides, Maximillian smelled familiar, like deep forest and pine needles baked in the sun; like that chilly snap of running water and the coolness of twilight.

Those things have a smell that adds up to a dream.


You can get lost in that kind of dream. It can fill your mind with ideas and notions you have no business thinking or feeling. Dreams like that make it easy to forget the danger you’re in…and the mission you’re on.

About the Author:

John has spent much of his life overseas, beginning in 1966 with two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. His time in the Himalayan kingdom immersed him in a culture of Hindu gods and Buddhist monks, gave him breathtaking opportunities to trek into the high mountains, reduced him to a scrawny 150 pounds, and ignited his passion for foreign lands. On the last day of his service there, in a palace converted to a hotel, he married Dorothy Zeller, the lady who is still his wife.


After Nepal, John and Dorothy went to graduate school at UCLA, received PhDs in geology, and spent their next three years working in Australia. They traveled extensively by Land Cruiser through the harsh beauty of the Outback and, on occasion, spent hours winching or digging out their vehicles from “sticky” situations. Several Australian colleagues provided inspiration for characters in John’s books.


Upon returning to the United States, John went to work for a major oil company, first in research, then in international exploration. The latter took him to about fifty countries and fueled his writing with quirky characters, exotic settings, and cultural contrasts.


While working in Egypt, he spotted a potential way to break into the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The break-in is now portrayed in a chapter of PAPYRUS. His experiences in the remote highlands of Venezuela led to TEPUI. While living in London, he became interested in the business and culture of perfumes, an interest he was able to nourish while accompanying Dorothy on her annual working sojourns in Paris. A result of this good fortune is APHRODESIA. A pre-Christmas trip to Prague sparked ideas for EX LIBRIS.


John has an abiding love of animals, strong interests in art, history, and science, and a hunger for challenging experiences. Writing gives him a chance to combine all of these into page-turners that keep readers thinking long after they finish the final chapter.

Show me an amateur conjurer, and I’ll stop him before he gets himself killed.

Something tells me I’m in over my head. And that’s not just Chinatown’s newest mob boss, a scary-powerful vampire, or my possessed cat talking.


No matter how much magic I hurl, worse keeps chasing bad, and I’m amassing enemies like they’re aluminum cans.


Did I mention the end of the world might be nigh?


Damn. Maybe I’m the amateur here.

About the Author:

When Andy was ten, he wrote his first book.


Attack of the Dinosaurs was seventeen pages long, variously single- and double spaced, with rough cut cardboard backing and a masking tape and white yarn binding.


It was the heart-pounding tale of Alaskan scientists using nuclear bombs to prospect for gasoline and–as happens all too often–inadvertently waking frozen dinosaurs. Without giving away too much, things didn’t end well for the dinosaurs. (Things never end well for the dinosaurs.)


He fell in love with writing and promised himself that, one day, he’d write an even longer book.


Then, one evening many years later while reading bedtime stories to his daughter and son, he thought:


Hmnh. Maybe it’s time.


Andy has been a library page, dairy science programmer, teacher, technical writer, healthcare software developer, and official Corporate Philosopher. He grew up in a town in Ohio Amish country. He’s a husband, father, and nonprofit web consultant living in Madison, Wisconsin.

She looks within and realizes how often she lived her life being what others wanted her to be – parents, lovers, friends, employers. She’s not afraid to examine fears of growing older; vanity and greed; lovers who were right and wrong; choices made along the way; loss and grief; regrets; and most of all learning to live life as herself and appreciating the joys of growing older. In these beautiful and cleverly written essays and poetry, you’ll find insights and inspiration for your own journey and living a life without regrets.
