Featured Post: The Night Police: Beyond The Line of Duty by Chris Berg

About The Night Police: Beyond The Line of Duty:

This first book in THE NIGHT POLICE series is a no-holds-barred, unflinching fictionalized version of real events the authors experienced firsthand during their time in law enforcement. A gritty, true-crime-inspired collection of thematically linked short stories where you’ll meet the dangerous men that are The Night Police. Listen in as real-life urban policing is exposed amongst a union of hardened lawmen. Written by two who have been there, The Night Police will uncover the true lives that few could imagine, let alone choose to live.

Meet the rebel trooper Max Golden, the common thread in a dark journey from which not one of these men will escape unscathed. Max isn’t content to spend his career as a humble, rule-following civil servant. Refusing to seek danger isn’t his style. And in the squalid, crime-ridden streets of Bristol City, he finds danger in spades. Dope deals gone bad, street brawls, murder and more keep him and the other members of The Night Police bonded tightly together in their self-made fraternity. Escape, when it’s needed, is found in the dark and nondescript Solly’s Tavern, where on one particularly damp, cold evening in 1991, this down-at-the-heels saloon hosts four of the Night Police for a cathartic night of drinking. The plan is to let loose and forget for a few hours, but the swapping of increasingly graphic tales leads to the unfolding of a stunning revelation. Will it change the course of their lives and careers?

This is a chronicle of the camaraderie that helped shield them from the intense pressures of urban policing. It tells the real stories, with the authentic voice of those who lived to reveal the truth. In true ripped-from-the-headlines fashion, the stories related in this book may seem improbable but are all based on true events.

The Night Police provides truth and insight into the demons behind the badge. And for those of you in law enforcement, The Night Police will have special meaning for anyone who has ever worked the streets, dealt with informants and lived the life on that razor’s edge.

Featured Post: Cora: Rise of the Fallen Goddess by A.L. Hawke

About Cora: Rise of the Fallen Goddess:

Abandoned. Imprisoned. Loved.

Cora is the goddess Persephone, living in Greece in the fourteenth century B.C. In order to shelter her from prophecy, her mother, Demeter, sends her away to Azure Blue. The young girl is raised and protected by the nymph queen, Nephrea, in a dreamlike crystal palace among azure trees and amethyst fields under a green sun. She’s adopted into the Amazon code of honor, bravery, and righteousness. But Cora is not an Amazon nymph. And prophecy holds quite a different fate for her as she grows into adulthood—Hades, Lord of the Underworld.

Upon Persephone’s fall, Demeter rages and threatens to freeze the entire world under ice and snow forever. Nephrea offers a sacrifice to quell her rage, but down in the fiery world below, it might be more than just the goddess who will need saving.

About Innocence Taken – Pray He Kills You Quickly:

Two dead girls, another one missing, and a secret that will rip a tight-knit community apart…
When a missing teen’s body shows up dismembered on the side of the road, Lt. Damien Kaine must crush her parent’s hopes of her safe return. The parents are pushing for details and answers. Two things he can’t give. The abduction of a second girl brings only one clue. The girls look like.

As Damien searches for a sadistic killer, a disturbing pattern emerges. The more he digs into the community’s history, the more missing girls he finds.

Tensions rise with the abduction of another girl. Damien and his team are in a race against time to save her. But the case is about to take a frightful turn. What they uncover will not only rock them to their core, it will haunt them forever.

About Featured Book: From The Moon I Watched Her by Emily English Medley

MAY 6, 2021 KINDLE DEAL OF THE DAY

Named by BuzzFeed as one of Winter 2021's Most Anticipated Historical Fiction Books and Top 10 New Books To Add To Your Reading List!

It’s hot, Texas, and the year 1977. Jimmy Carter is in office.

The Walters are a good, churchgoing family who stand for holiness, purity, grace, and Christian love. Except when they don't.

Family patriarch and fanatic preacher, Victor Black, knows many things for sure, including the fact that abortion is murder and should be punishable by death—a position he defends live in a televised debate. Black’s youngest granddaughter, Stephanie Walters, sits in the front row wearing her frilly Sunday dress, listening carefully to every word.

But it doesn't take long for cracks to appear in the Walters upstanding family façade. Stephanie's mother, Lily, begins telling unsettling stories about having a baby who died, and her story keeps changing. It’s clear Lily has a secret—one that righteous Victor Black would kill her for if he knew. This family secret burns more than the lies . . .

From the Moon I Watched Her is a coming-of-age tale about the skeletons that lurk under church pews and the little girl who goes looking for and finds them. Amid the dark and quirky terrain of camp revivals, burning crosses, and public shunnings, one child from the Southern Churches of Christ cries out.

Featured Post: Our Last Shot — Family Business at Peckerwood by Bob Keaton

About Our Last Shot — Family Business at Peckerwood:

Tommy is leaving the country, but he hasn’t told anyone why. That—and a lot more—gets revealed during the last barbecue at Peckerwood, his plantation south of Atlanta.

He bought the decaying Southern relic 10 years ago and put a lot of money into the restoration. Now he’s ready to show it off.

So, he has invited the old college gang for the weekend, hoping to relive some memories and maybe even create a few new ones, as he sees his friends for the last time.

They do that, but a lot more happens, too. Old rivalries are reignited. Secrets get revealed.

A young guy meets his birth mother for the first time and discovers who his dad is. Old love interests get rekindled. One member of the group reveals a sex change that nobody knew about.

Oh, and there’s a murder, who will it be? And who did it?

Although they were close in college, now that they’re scattered around the country many of them haven’t seen each other in 20 years.

Here are some of the characters invited to the reunion: A TV soap opera star from Los Angeles with a colorful past love life; a prominent high tech attorney in Seattle still trying to overcome the damage done by one of the gang back in college; an evangelist from Charleston whose ministry is based on “getting high” on drugs instead of Jesus; a famous New York actress with a mysterious past, and a well-known model from the 70s who now has his own agency and also a lot of baggage.

Everybody’s favorite professor back in college, who was always there to listen to their problems and offer advice, shows up, but now he needs someone to listen to him and offer advice.

Not your typical weekend down on the old Georgia plantation.

Featured Post: Memories into Memoir: The Mindsets and Mechanics Workbook by Marilyn L Davis

About Memories into Memoir: The Mindsets and Mechanics Workbook:

“Review: What an amazing workbook to help put your memories into a memoir. Step by step and the large print is beneficial”…

For years, people have told you to write a book, you’ve got a great story to tell, and you could teach people something. But great stories don’t always translate into excellent memoirs.

Why is that? Excellent memoirs take pre-planning before you start writing – even a draft.
A significant part of your pre-planning involves:
•Understanding why you are writing this book
•Establishing positive mindsets
•Creating emotional safety
•Retrieving memories
•Determining your theme
•Choosing a point of view
•Disclosing information about yourself and others

This workbook explains the mindsets and mechanics needed to write that remarkable memoir. Worksheets help you review, reflect, and remember.

Plus, you’ll save yourself some of the problems I had when I wrote my memoir, Finding North: A Journey from Addict to Advocate.

Featured Author Interview: Bob Keaton

Tell us about yourself.:
I am a communications professional who has worked for daily newspapers, associations, and corporations. I retired early to try my hand at creative writing. It was sort of a bucket list thing. Back in college I dropped out of a creative writing course because the professor was so critical of my work. Instead, I had a successful career in journalism. After retirement, I wanted to go back and prove I could be successful at creative writing, too. I’ve written four novels, three of which have already been published.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I’m originally from upstate South Carolina, but I don’t think that location influenced my writing as much as other places I’ve lived, including South Florida, the setting for my newest book, Grayer than Grey. San Francisco, where I lived for 12 years, is the location for first novel, SEX is nothing more than a game of tennis. I currently live in Atlanta where my second novel, Our Last Shot, family business at Peckerwood, takes place.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m most productive when I’m exercising. (I have to develop an idea in my mind before sitting down at the computer.) Perhaps exercise gets the blood flowing to my brain, but exercising is where I get my best ideas and where I’m able to work out any problems I’m having with scenes or characters. Sometimes taking a shower also works.

What authors have influenced you?
I’m originally from upstate South Carolina, but I don’t think that location influenced my writing as much as other places I’ve lived, including South Florida, the setting for my newest book, Grayer than Grey. San Francisco, where I lived for 12 years, is the location for first novel, SEX is nothing more than a game of tennis. I currently live in Atlanta where my second novel, Our Last Shot, family business at Peckerwood, takes place.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
READ! READ! READ! See how other authors handle situations, especially in novels like what you want to write. How they handle conflict, build suspense, develop characters. If you aren’t reading, you’ll never be a good writer.

Featured Post: The Cause of Darkness– A Story of the Civil War by John Bebout

About Featured Book: The Cause of Darkness– A Story of the Civil War by John Bebout

THE CAUSE OF DARKNESS blends history with fiction and encompasses a tragic time during the Civil War that residents of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia still call to this day ‘the burning.’ It tells the story of a 16 year-old boy named Teddy Miller who comes of age during this brutal time. Teddy’s single-minded quest to save his father from execution as a spy reads like a grand adventure, full of gun fights, horse chases and 19th century justice. There is even a beautiful Pinkerton detective who plays a major role in Teddy’s exploits. But nearly all the adult characters act solely in their own self-interest and few have Teddy’s welfare at heart. Teddy takes actions to save his father which have consequences that he cannot fully comprehend; and it is the consequences of these actions that drive the novel to its conclusion.

Soon after, a neighborhood busybody, who was present at the time of Adam’s death, falls down her cellar stairs and dies. Meg wonders if these deaths could somehow be related.
