THE JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB discussion

Hello all: Harry Leslie Smith here. I am 90 years old and I chronicle the social history of Britain during the early twentieth century.

My three books are:
1923: a memoir. A True Story about life in Britain during the 1930s and my experiences in the RAF during WW2


Hamburg 1947: A place for the Heart to Kip
"Hamburg 1947" recounts Smith's youthful RAF days as part of the occupational forces in post-war Germany. A wireless operator during the war, he doesn't want to return to Britain and join a queue of unemployed former servicemen; he reenlists for long term duty in occupied Germany. From his billet in Hamburg, a city razed to the ground by remorseless aerial bombardment, he witnesses a people and era on the brink of annihilation. This narrative presents a street-level view of a city reduced to rubble populated with refugees, black marketers, and cynical soldiers.


The Empress of Australia: A post-war memoir
In the winter of 1948, a post-war darkness felled Britain and happiness, like sweets, was tightly rationed. So begins Harry Leslie Smith’s bitter-sweet memoir: The Empress of Australia which depicts life in post-war Yorkshire. Recently demobbed from the RAF, Smith and his German war bride must try to adjust to a civilian society that is scarred from not only the war but the harsh reality of living in peacetime Britain.

Coming April 3rd from Rebel Ink Press, Sunny's Love...
Put it on your TBR list...Sunny Drake has had a few bad years. First she lost her beloved father. Then her long time boyfriend married someone else. Now the doctor she works for is retiring. When Sunny meets widowed, restaurant mogul Chase Dupont, who is suddenly in need of a nanny, she agrees to take the job, never dreaming the journey it will lead her on.

To save his business from being taken over by another company, Chase asks Sunny to marry him. It will be a marriage of convenience but it will be for life. She agrees since she’s already in love with him. But can she make him love her, too?

When Sunny suffers a fall and lies unconscious for days, Chase realizes all he's ever wanted is Sunny's Love. But a mystery begins to unravel as they realize Sunny's fall wasn’t an accident. Someone is trying to murder her. Will Sunny and Chase get the chance to admit their true feelings to each other? Or is it too late?

HOT SINATRA will be on sale for $0.99 March 30-31!
This homage to the pulp detective is both funny and frenetic, full of oddball characters, wild action, romance and excitement. Pick it up on Amazon til the end of the month. Only a buck!

http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Sinatra-ebo...

"Hot Sinatra makes you feel like you're rushing through the exciting world of private detectives, mafia justice, Irish rockers and vintage Sinatra. I couldn't put it down because I simply wanted more."

The title of my book, The Evangeline Heresy, has undergone a title change to, The Honey Witch.

The Honey Witch is an atmospheric story of the precarious relationship between a mysterious folk healer and the skeptical biologist investigating the method behind her miraculous cures. Dr. Ethan Broughton soon discovers that the cryptic world of Ana Lagori will tear the very fabric of reality and possibly dismantle his own sanity in the process.

Those searching for a different take on a preternatural character in the dark realm of supernatural fantasy may find this book an intriguing read.

What happens when you pray for an angel and get a vampire instead?

You might say what happens to Cailey is the ultimate April fools joke though it happens in December. In a drunken stupor she thinks an angel has arrived to help her and he turns out to be a sociopathic vampire and traitor to his Nosferatu kind.

As the greatest high school basketball player to ever come out of Davidson County, NJ, Taylor Scott is a living legend, a born superstar. While everyone—his mother, father, coaches and best friend—assume he can easily handle the weight of the world on his young shoulders; things aren’t always what they seem. Throughout this intense and highly personal coming-of-age story, Taylor struggles to make the transition from high school basketball celebrity to unproven college freshman, fighting to understand who he is and where he’s going, while running head-on to his greatest fears. A timeless story of basketball, friendship, family and most importantly, the passion that drives us to become who we are even when we aren’t sure ourselves; this story will capture the hearts and minds of anyone who has ever dreamed of accomplishing something bigger than themselves. The lights shining inside the basketball arena are bright, but what happens off the court is what really counts.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This review is from: Hot & Wild (De La Cruz Saga) (Kindle Edition)
I loved the book! This was a wonderful story! It was told beautifully! I really felt as though I knew the characters they were so developed! Fantastic Job!
♥I'm officially addicted to the Spanglish in the De La Cruz Family Saga series of books! The series follows with the signature theme of intense passion, romance and drug cartel suspense.
♥I could not put this down once again P.T. Macias has written an amazing story.
♥My first thought was "Don't know if I can do this! There's too much Spanish"! The language was NOT a problem! The context let you know what most of the words mean, so you didn't have to be a Spanish major in school!

Hi Rick and gang!

I'm already a member under Geralyn Beauchamp. Tried to sign in to goodreads but it seems to be locked into Kit Morgan, (my alter ego) So as it's stuck for now, this is the other half of me!!!! Kit Morgan is a character out of my fantasy time travel series. I'm writing a western series under her. Been a very interesting experiment in cross genre marketing! Not to mention fun! Westerns are a far cry from fantasy time travel!

Hi! I'm John Tucker and I have three e-books published on Amazon and I'm about to have a fourth published under the GMTA banner.

Divisive is my first novel. A dysfunctional family falls under the thrall of a serial killer who insinuates himself inside thier home. Carolyn Connors is a pill-popping, alcoholic widow who despises the children her late husband insisted on having. Elizabeth is her seventeen-year-old Goth-loving daughter who has grown to love being a thorn in her mother's flesh. Twelve-year-old Emily tries her best to keep the peace but her budding sexuality is making her focus on her own problems. Enter Dennis Rask; a charming master manipulator who woos Carolyn, befriends Elizabeth, and becomes a father-figure to Emily. Little do they know, Rask has destroyed three families before them with the Connors being his fourth 'game'. It's a full-length novel, now available for 99 cents, and promises a rollercoaster ride of sex, deceit, and death.

The Little Girl You Kiss Goodnight is a YA novel about a 1980's teenager who wants to be a policewoman after she graduates. When Steph Linder's estranged mother is murdered in a small Georgia town, she convinces her father to let her stay with her grandmother and uncle for a week. There, surrounded by suspicious townspeople, seedy thugs her mother used to work with, and an overly friendly librarian who has a bad history with the dead woman, Steph has one week to discover the killer's identity...or die trying.

Romancing the Fox is a full-length novel about a porn star named Jenna Fox seeking to leave the business for a legitimite career. When she's given a role in a New York based film by John McKenzie - a borderline alcoholic producer - she finds her friends, enemies, and new associates will do whatever they can to derail her new career...and her budding romance with McKenzie.

My newest effort coming out in May- Terpischore in Love - is about one of the nine traditional Greek Muses falling in love with a special mortal named Dan Gordon. It's a romantic/drama/comedy that follow the adventures of Terpishore and her sisters, their Father, Lucifer, and three deadly and oversexed Sirens.

Here's the link to my Amazon author page. Divisive and Little Girl are both 99 cents for a limited time.
http://www.amazon.com/John-Tucker/e/B...

ASH: RETURN OF THE BEAST is a modern-day supernatural crime chiller, a tale of revenge steeped in the occult. The story is a work of fiction inspired by a little known factoid about the death of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), the notorious occultist whose favorite number was 666 and whom the British press once labeled as "The Wickedest Man In The World". Crowley’s body was cremated but the unexplained 1947 disappearance of the urn containing his ashes has remained a mystery… until now.

This diabolical tale propels the reader through a series of curiously interconnected events spanning the years from 1947 (and the death of Aleister Crowley) to the 1990s and the coming-of-age (and eventual stardom) of a "death-metal" rocker with the unlikely name of Rodney Duckworth.

The time-line shifts to the present day where Brian Kane, a gruff and gritty street-worn Seattle Police Detective, reluctantly teams up with the mysterious Rowena Ravenwood, an attractive and rather unconventional female FBI agent assigned to a most unusual investigative unit. Their task is to figure out why good, healthy, God-fearing preachers in their fair city are suddenly dropping dead... one at a time... exactly nine days apart.

What is the meaning of the strange symbols branded onto the bodies of these hapless victims? Are they all part of some bizarre cult? No eyewitnesses. No fingerprints. Is it really murder? Where’s the evidence? And what is the disturbing secret that Detective Kane is holding so close to his chest?

The investigation catapults Kane and Ravenwood headlong into life-threatening situations as they feel their way through the strange, dark labyrinth of the world of the occult and find themselves battling for their lives against the powerful forces of ritual magick.

A bloody carnage of unimaginable horror is about to be unleashed upon the world as the offspring of the fabled “Old Ones” are awakened from their ancient slumber.

The survival of the entire human race hangs in the balance and the clues to help solve the case are in desperately short supply. Worse yet, so is the amount of time left to stop the mysterious killer's reign of terror before all Hell breaks loose. And – according to Special Agent Ravenwood – that’s not just a figure of speech.

As I mentioned back in November, my story collection The Smoking Gun Sisterhood is slated to be published by Pro Se Press, probably some time this summer, and I'll have an update whenever it's available. In the meantime, though, one of the stories in it, "The Capta and the Cop," has been published in the Feb. 2013 issue of the e-zine eNoir. (It's not true noir, by my own definition, but of the ten stories in the collection, it perhaps comes the closest.) So if you want to check out the story and possibly get a feel for my writing, electronic copies of that issue of the e-zine are for sale for $3.99 at the publisher's site, www.efictionmag.com/2013/02/enoir-feb... , as well as on Amazon. (Here's the link to the Goodreads description of the story itself, left over from the time when it was sold as a stand-alone e-story: The Capta and the Cop.)

My thrilling YA Speculative Fiction novel, ELDORADO, is now available on Amazon.com through Createspace and in the Kindle e-store.

ELDORADO is being offered as a Goodreads giveaway until May 1/2013.



In post Peak-Oil Vancouver, the world of bookish community college instructor Richard Hampton is blown apart when his younger brother Danny disappears and the police are too busy keeping a lid on a hungry, overcrowded city to search for him.

Richard must make the transformation to street-smart warrior to survive when he jumps the Food Train to the disintegrating suburbs in a desperate search for Danny and his dog, Zonk.

Branded a criminal by a community of outcasts, imprisoned, and condemned to death, Richard is rescued by streetwise Carrie, who joins in his search.

They trek across the remnants of the sprawling suburbs, facing criminal gangs, renegade militias, and the hardships of the road. Gradually their friendship evolves into something more.

The trail finally unwinds at a deserted complex in the remotest corner of the suburbs. What they discover there will alter their lives and their world forever.

My debut novel, A HUNGER IN THE HEART, published last month by Tuscany Press, is now in hardcover and soon in paperback, as well as on Amazon Kindle.

Press Release for my new novel.

Headline: Modern-day Fable Shares Journey of Self-discovery; New Release by Geof Spalding

Summary: A quest for knowledge and a holy artifact leads a writer to a series of adventures and revelations about his soul in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing.

(21st October 2012) INDIANAPOLIS – Aspiring author Conway is working as a night security guard, a job that allows him to take writing classes during the day and polish his prose at night. On his way home one morning, according to this new novel, a bright light envelops him in warmth and transports him to an otherworldly garden. He meets an old hermit who shows him the teachings of a secret, 33-member brotherhood that guides mankind’s evolution. That mysterious group sends Conway on a mind-blowing quest to discover the true story of Jesus and the Holy Graal.

“The 33rd Sage and the Initiate,” the second novel in the 33rd Sage trilogy, reveals Conway’s attempts to fulfill his quest, which leads him to explore the inner workings of his soul and to learn about the power of thought. The journey brings unexpected encounters with new allies: an old Chinese sage, a Buddhist monk, the keeper of the Garden Tomb, a wife from a long-forgotten life, and a being from another dimension. Time traveling, glimpses of the afterlife and trips to exotic locales gradually add their voices to the knowledge ringing in Conway’s consciousness, and he learns how to share his inner truths. Before his quest ends, he will learn the identity of the brotherhood’s newest member.

Hello all,

I just came out with a book under my own imprint:

The Fastest Growing Religion on Earth: How Genealogy Captured the Brains and Imaginations of Americans

For millions of Americans, the quest to find one’s ancestors has become an obsession, and for some even a religion. After writing a book about the history of his family, the author realized that half of it was missing, literally. This is the story about how he found the other half, and what he learned along the way about the history and practice of genealogy, his fellow genealogy fanatics, and himself.



I will give away free copies for review in any format.

Thanks.

I am so grateful for being invited into this group! My hope is that all are well and blessed in all that they do. As for me, here is my first novel called THE SUMMONER. It is a fantasy adventure with a touch of romance, and here is a short description:
When Raven’s family is taken captive by the hordes of the evil lord N’atax, her only desire is to rescue them before they reach the dreaded castle Axtalia. But, as she pursues them through the lands of Arth, aided by her friend Le-thon, she realizes that her true destiny could be far more than she had ever imagined. All the peoples of Arth have waited ages for the fulfillment of the Great Prophecy. Is she the one?
N'atax has released his horrible army of Boar-riders and Evils, flooding the land with destruction and despair. Their only purpose is to bring back captives for torture and death. His intent is to rid the lands of Arth once and for all of the Royal Families, thus putting an end to this foolish belief of the warrior that is to come and destroy him!

Free Kindle 4/19-4/21 HEMINGWAY HOUSE (Comical fiction)
Welcome to Hemingway House, a halfway home for residents under repair. My name is Richard Raymonds. I'm one such resident. In 1975, I was admitted here after spending five years in a much worse place. For the next nine years, I passed the time taking notes on the comings and goings of the myriad of characters that passed through. This is their story.

In the mood for an original thriller? IMAGINATION is a fast-paced and exciting psychological thriller about a prisoner of war who escapes into his own mind and creates a new reality!

A botched military mission finds new recruit Christopher Parker in a hostile prison camp. His life has become pain. To escape the prolonged misery of torture, Christopher journeys deep into his own memories and imagination, reliving his life in extreme detail. Imagery is so precise the people who occupy these memories believe they are living real lives. As each character explores ever-shifting landscapes of Christopher’s imagination they uncover a shocking truth; Christopher is slowly dying. Can they fight against Christopher’s own thoughts from convincing life to slip away before everything they know disappears forever?

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view... a short story, not my best, but very good (in my humble opinion) BTW don't pay for it, the code AT42X makes it free, unless you can spare a buck for an unemployeed writer. Look forward to hearing back on it. Thanks!
