Excerpt
The fear returns with my first missed menstrual cycle, a little over three months ago. Yet again, I am pregnant. Half a dozen times, the child growing within me never made it fully through the second month. That information is not in my medical records, because I never told anyone about it, not even Nicholas, my beloved husband. The reason behind those horrific decisions is our first child, a girl we were going to call April Melina, was lost at almost seven months. The hardest part of that miscarriage is that she stopped moving nearly five weeks before the doctor we were assigned in Nevada was certain she was growing well and I was worrying about nothing.
I can’t do this again. I really can’t go through this again.

Excerpt

The NCO club was rocking with great tunes on the jukebox. I sat in a corner, nursing a San Miguel beer, watching others doing their thing. It was bingo night. Just about everyone was playing intently in the cover-all round, hoping to win the five hundred dollar prize. For some, that amount of money equaled more than they had in their pocket at any given time.
“Hi.”
The voice was male and I wasn’t interested. Men were my thing, as the saying went, but at this point in my life, I was still nursing wounds best left alone. I’d joined the Air Force five years ago as a way to escape a home that had become too tense to live in any longer. The oldest of six, I’d never heard “Great job” or “You’ll be a success one day.” No matter what I did, nothing was acknowledged until my seventeen months, twenty-eight days younger sister, Tina, had accomplished the same feat, and that was boasted about long and loud by our mother if she happened to do better than I had done.
“Am I interrupting something?” the guy asked.
The sound of a pitcher and a couple of glasses hitting the table caught my attention. I looked up into the greenest set of eyes I’d ever seen. His smile wasn’t the big white teeth kind I’d come to expect from guys hitting on me, but rather a tentative, “Are you going to tell me to get lost?” type that was kind of endearing.
“Not much.” I nodded at the pitcher. “Expecting company?”
“Maybe.” He slid into a chair. “Maybe not. It all depends on how introductions go.” Holding out a hand, he said, “Steven Marsters, loadmaster with the C-130 crew that just arrived and will be leaving soon. Saw you all alone over here and thought you needed company.”
The come-on was better than I’d expected. I took stock of this Steven Marsters. He was a little over six foot with the regulation high and tight cut required of all men in the military. His fatigues were rumpled and grease spotted. After he kicked his legs out to the side, crossing the ankles, I noticed his boots were a bit scuffed. What intrigued me most was that he was part of the crew of the C-130 that had landed an hour or so earlier.

Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. This month, we’re focusing on books and short stories that are thrillers and military. Edge of the seat action is going to have you panting for more from these fabulous books! Check out these intriguing stories from a stable of great authors!
Today, our story is all about a couple learning to love and trust again. She joined the service after he cheated on her. Now, she realizes her hasty decision to marry an older non-com may have condemned her to a loveless, abusive marriage. His marriage has ended, the only good thing being his daughter. Chance gives them a second chance…  
Blurb
Riona’s life of self-doubt stranded her in an abusive marriage with four small children to raise. Her children and a successful career in the Air Force made her life bearable. She needed out—and Fate handed her a way.
Once, when she was younger, there was a man she thought good until he stood her up. She had no way of knowing that he had endured a bad marriage and a bitter divorce, leaving a teenaged daughter in the middle. He had never forgotten Riona.
Both their hearts were hurting. Fate would help them heal.

Excerpt
Hank Sanders sauntered through his house. Stubble on his chin gave him a good feeling when he rubbed it with his right hand. A cigarette dangled from the fingers of the left hand, the long ash tip scattering across what had been a pristine tile floor until that moment. Given that he wouldn’t stick around those stupid holy rollers any longer than he had to, he wore a pair of jeans that had worn nearly to the point of being obscene in certain areas. A checked flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves exposed the new tattoo he’d had done when he and some buds spent Halloween night in Landstuhl. Although it was not strictly within the damn codes the Air Force made everyone live by, he’d covered his, a growling bulldog with a spiked collar. Normally, his shirtsleeves were fastened tightly around his thick wrists, concealing what he knew could cause him issues with his uptight commander, a prick of a captain who was trying to get an assignment to the Pentagon.
Jerk won’t go anywhere except Turkey once I get my plan in motion.

Jackson Cole is a newly minted homicide detective thrown head first into the grinder when he is ordered to investigate the grisly murder of three women, each adorned with seemingly occult symbols.

The press is stirring up a killer cult frenzy in the media. The mayor, the Chief of Police, and Cole's Captain want results to calm an increasingly fearful public; and Cole’s supposed partner is nowhere to be found. It’s just another day at the office until a stranger shows up spouting a wild theory: blood magic.
Cole won't even consider it. There is no such thing as magic, no such thing as voodoo; and there are no demons roaming the Charleston Peninsula. There’s always a rational explanation for the evil humans commit upon one another.
Then a demon tries to take Cole's head off.
How do you stop a supernatural evil, something ancient and unencumbered by the laws of either physics or man? Especially when all you bring to the fight is a pistol and a pair of handcuffs.

If Jackson Cole wants this case to close, he will need to open his mind to a world of the impossible. A world he never knew existed, until now. Then he'll have to survive it.

SpoilersBlurb
What happens when a clandestine group of politicians and intelligence operatives run prototype weapons through Lieutenant Peter Bank’s jurisdiction? Nothing, they’re clandestine, no one knows they exist or what they do... Right?
Correct, right up until one of their prototype weapons turns up at a drug bust, along with a congressman’s son who likes to moonlight as criminal elite.
The paperwork on the arrest is not finished before an army of politicos and local executive pressure comes down on Banks and his narcotics unit like a thousand year flood. Everyone wants to make the arrest of a prominent politician’s offspring go away, even Bank’s own Chief of Police. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem. Most cops follow orders from the chief, most cops have a stake in their careers. 
Peter Banks has been burned before by political fixers who seemed to think the various strata of society are not all created, or treated equally under the law. Banks also has a team behind him that would follow him to hell and back if it meant getting the job done. 
From an exclusive island off the coast of South Carolina, the mountains in the upstate, to the gutters of Charleston, SC Banks and his team will charge through mercenaries, assassins, and their own hierarchy to see justice done; and they will do it at terrible cost.
Spoilers details what happens when a determined police unit puts service and doing the right thing above themselves. It is a fast paced, intricate, and explosive read that leaves the audience exhausted and begging for more after the last page is turned.
