Seraphic Soldiers by Christian King @SeraphicSoldier

Seraphic Soldiers: The Fourth Estate

Centuries ago, God proclaimed to His angelic host that certain individuals had been chosen to complete a special task, one that would remain unknown until the time set for its accomplishment. A demon, who became privy to this announcement, immediately sought to thwart that plan but was kept restrained by a number of God's heavenly warriors. Now, many years later, that demon has learned God will allow a single person's life to be placed in his hands very soon, and he hopes this is the chance to annihilate one of those chosen to fulfill God's will. Several lives hang in the balance, yet, once again, holy angels have been dispatched to keep the demon in line. God's purpose is sure to succeed, but what will the outcome be? Find out in the pages of Seraphic Soldiers: The Fourth Estate.

The Life List by Chrissy Anderson @AskChrissy

The Life List (The List Trilogy)

The Life List is the ultimate chick lit novel and most of the story is true. Chrissy Anderson, a twenty-eight year old fashion executive, created a seven-point life list at the age of sixteen and she's been steadily checking off the boxes and mocking the style and life choices of everyone around her ever since.Her life begins to run amuck when she unexpectedly meets a much younger, Leo, who makes her question her "perfect life".

Chrissy's lifelong friendships and her marriage are put to the test as she tries to sort out her feelings for Leo. With the help of her brassy, no-nonsense therapist, Dr. Maria, Chrissy learns more about herself than she anticipates. But, it isn't until the untimely death of her best friend that Chrissy is catapulted into long overdue authenticity and scrambles to correct the mistakes of her past....trying to figure out if it's Kurt, Leo or both that she has to get rid of to make everything right.

Women of all kinds-twenty-somethings, housewives and superwomen wanna-bes- will all be able to relate to the pressure of constructing the ideal life, only to fall short. Not everyone will agree with Chrissy Anderson's decisions, but all will pause as they follow along on her journey to ask, "What would I do if I were her?"

Review: Aftereffects: Zombie Therapy by Zane Bradey @ZaneBradey

Aftereffects: Zombie Therapy

SUMMARY:
One day you are an average citizen, carrying on with everyday mundane tasks. The next day, you are a fiendish zombie looking to tear off and eat the flesh of every family member, friend, neighbor, or stranger on the street. That's where your story ends, right? You’re destined to live out your remaining days as a blood-thirsty zombie until deprivation or some un-infected vigilante lays you to rest?

Wrong. The government creates a cure for your cannibalistic condition. Unfortunately, you remember every gory detail of your killing sprees. Can you cope with the fact that you ingested your fellow human beings? Good news: Psychiatrist Dr. Victor Frenzel has devoted himself to treating the psychological aspects of living life after being a flesh-eating zombie. He's accepting new clients and wants to help you get on with your life. Unless he suspects that you are one of the infected cannibalistic fiends who ate his lovely young wife, Barbara. In that case, you might be a prime candidate for one of his more cutting-edge treatments. Either way, you will be cured…

Read this horrifically gruesome tale of zombie rehabilitation.

REVIEW:

Aftereffects: Zombie Therapy by Zane Bradley is a very fast paced story. So much calamity happens that I found it hard to stop reading. Client after client visits Dr. Frenzel with their story of what they did while infected. It's gruesome, hair raising and heart breaking to hear what the infected did and how it changed their lives. It's a real twist that the infected are cured and seeking therapy but the rest of the story follows the zombie story model.
The main story revolves around Dr. Frenzel seeking the infected responsible for his wife's death. One by one he inches closer to finding the one who pulled her from the car and those who eventually ate her. Gruesome but true.
I liked Bradley's style of writing. It was fast paced and full of detail. I could imagine exactly in my mind what was going on all the time. Bradley kept me interested from start to finished and left me wanting more. There is a plot that was not resolved in my opinion but the ending allows it to be unresolved. That's what zombies do, they destroy your life plans and drag you to hell. They don't leave much room for job advancement or weddings.
This is a great book for those who love zombies and action books. Give it a read.

21 Days of Gratitude Challenge by Shelley Hitz @freebookschrist

21 Days of Gratitude Challenge: Finding Freedom from Self-Pity and a Negative Attitude (A Life of Gratitude)

During a season of transition in my life, I found myself overwhelmed with negative emotions like self-pity and a complaining spirit. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over me. I prayed and asked God for wisdom on how to overcome these negative emotions. And I sensed Him leading me to do this 21 days of gratitude challenge.
Over the course of the 21 days, God began to change me as I spent intentional time being grateful for all I have been given. I did this through writing in my journal each day and also sending a hand-written thank you note to someone different each day.

And now I want to share what I learned with you in the short, but powerful book.
  
What to Expect On Each Day of the Challenge:
  • Read my personal stories, struggles and reflections. 
  • Read one scripture and one quote about gratitude.  
  • Apply one personal application step. 
Get Accountability and Encouragement

Along with the 21 day challenge, I also started a private Facebook group to provide accountability and encouragement for myself but also for others who decide to join me in the challenge.  You will get access to this group as well.  It has been amazing to see God at work in each of our lives.

Cowboy by Staci Stallings @StaciStallings

Cowboy (The Harmony Series)

Life has done its best to knock Beth McCasland to the ground, and the truth is: it’s done a pretty good job of keeping her there.

Then one night she gets the chance to be an angel to another of life’s weary travelers. For once hope has never looked so real.

Cowboy is a grace-filled story about the power of giving everything to God and how a simple act of compassion can change lives forever. Emotional, soothing, and heart-wrenching, Cowboy is infused with the message that no matter who we are and no matter what life has thrown at us, we never have to walk alone.

The History of Christmas by Wyatt North

The History of Christmas

Almost everyone, no matter their religious affiliations, will have his/her brush with variously shaped and delivered Christmas/Holiday and New Year greeting cards, Luke 2, gift giving from surfeit to simple, the Salvation Army bell, crèches, travel delays, “Jingle Bells,” stockings, tinsel, wrapping paper, wreaths, weight gain, catalogs, evergreen scent, Handel’s “Messiah,” lit-up roofs and yards, fir trees, fake trees, plastic Santas, mall Santas, cookies and candy, and the list goes on and on.

Whatever the word evokes for you, you may never have given thought—not for a long time anyway—to the beginnings, the customs, and the legends, and wonder, “how did it come to this?”

This book addresses the Christian origins of Christmas, its dating, its establishment as a feast of the Church, its popularization, and the origins of popular customs in America. Not the least, it offers an invitation to Catholics to rekindle devotion to the “Christ” in Christmas with sincere intention and faithfulness.

This edition has a linked Table of Contents and has been wonderfully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your eBook reader.

Dumping the Magic by Connie Donaldson

Dumping the Magic: A Retired Cynic Revisits Spirituality and Healing

Dumping the Magic is the story of a cynical agnostic who stumbled onto proof of a real and vital spiritual path—and the adventures and misadventures she encountered trying to navigate that path. By the time Connie reached the age of 58, her view of spirituality and life were well established. She saw the world as often messy, difficult and unfair and decided that God—if there was a God—was unreachable and uninterested. Spirituality, she thought, was just something weak people used to get them through the night. Then, on March 15, 2005, she had an experience that challenged her old beliefs and made her reconsider her picture of the world. This is the story of what happened when Connie’s old magical lenses were cracked, then broken and eventually removed—unceremoniously dumped—and she had to discover (and allow) new lenses, visions and experiences. With unflinching honesty, Connie reveals the ragged and sometimes circuitous path she took from cynicism and fear of life to an acceptance and appreciation of life as a gift. In Dumping the Magic she shares the sign posts and warning signs that might make a similar seeker’s adventure a little easier, or at least less lonely.

Cry for the Moon (The Last Werewolf Hunter Series) by William Woodall

Cry for the Moon (The Last Werewolf Hunter Series)

Zach Trewick has a hard choice to make.  His family expects him to become a werewolf on the night of the next full moon, whether he likes it or not, and he's got only three days left before time runs out. 

Scrambling to find a way to stay human, Zach quickly makes a bold plan to run away from home and find his uncle Justin nearly a thousand miles away in Texas, the only person he can think of who might take him in.

Stowing away in a septic tank, sleeping in a library, and living in a dog house on a vacant lot are among the adventures he encounters along the way.

But the werewolves have no intention of letting him escape so easily.  For although he doesn't know it yet, Zach is the Curse-Breaker, the long-foretold boy who can crush the wolf curse forever, and his family will stop at nothing to prevent that. 

Nominated for the 2010 Texas Lone Star Reading List for excellence in young adult literature, Cry for the Moon is the first book in the Last Werewolf Hunter series, followed by "Behind Blue Eyes,"

The series is suitable for middle-graders and up, since it contains only mild violence and little to no gore.  It has more to do with Zach's ultimate choice to become the last werewolf hunter in the world, and to break the Curse forever. 

The series occasionally contains some light Christian themes.

Just Add Salt by Jinx Schwartz

Just Add Salt (Hetta Coffey Mystery Series (Book 2))

Hetta Coffey is a woman with a yacht, and she's not afraid to use it!

Hetta, a globe-trotting engineer with attitude, a penchant for trouble, and a yacht, is back, and this time she s steering us into hot Mexican waters.

Miffed that vacation plans with her chronically absent boyfriend Jenks Jenkins have gone awry, she accepts a job in Baja. So what if she and her friend Jan are spectacularly unqualified to take her yacht on a thousand mile cruise in the eastern Pacific Ocean in the middle of hurricane season? Hiring a handsome, if somewhat fishy captain for the trip might keep them off the rocks, but probably won t do the same for her future with Jenks. Meanwhile, a little eye candy on board can t be all bad.

Hetta s unmanageable independence impels her to tackle the very profitable, if environmentally and politically incorrect project south of the border. True to form, her irreverent nature and disregard for danger soon swamps her in a sea of inconvenient bodies, illegal aliens, a pesky whale, and a menacing Mexican machinator. And without her usual arsenal of firepower.

Set sail for Baja Mexico s Magdalena Bay as Hetta Coffey leads us once more into a morass of intrigue that will keep you laughing, breathless, and wanting more.

To quote Lord Byron, Hetta would "much rather sink beneath the shock than moulder piecemeal on the rock."

No Commitments by Val Sharp

No Commitments

Set in the era of the Vietnam War, this is a love story between a young man and woman caught up in the throes of that era. CLAY STONER: born and raised in the Ozarks, Annapolis graduate, navy pilot, a fun loving jet jockey - until he learns he is going to have to bomb real people. MARIANNA HAIZET:
daughter from a renowned Swiss banking family, sheltered in boarding schools while pusuing her music studies, and recovering from a shattering experience after having known little joy in her life - until she meets Clay.

OUR COUPLE meet by chance in Nice during a Bastille Day weekend, and when they part neither imagines their lives will ever cross again. They are from two different worlds. But fate intervenes and they do meet again - and connect - and despite repeated vows of "no commitments" she becomes immersed in his world of rowdy parties and the tension and torment surround- ing young women and their pilots waiting to go off to war. They stumble into a quixotic love affair that each believes is hopeless.

Little do they know that their destiny is to be caught up in an international intrigue that will lead from the South of France through Switzerland and all the way back to the Ozarks, or that she will become a singing star, or that as a couple their names will become famous and indelibly linked to one of the greatest scandals of all time.

The questions raised throughout are simple...what is love...can ideals triumph in a world of compromise?

The Nightlife by T. W. Luedke @TWLuedke

The Nightlife: New York (The Nightlife Series)

Vampires, strippers, escorts, night clubs, gangs, pimps and corrupt cops, the Nightlife of New York is never boring.

Is she a beautiful blond guardian angel as he imagined, or something else entirely? When Michelle saves Aaron's life she shares the benefits of her blood––after getting him shot accidentally. He awakes a changed man, living in a purgatory of eternal night, never to see the sunrise again.

Michelle drags Aaron through a hardcore learning curve of vampiric slavery. Forced to adapt to servitude, he is subject to her authority of compulsion. She orders him around like a puppet on a string, a dog on a very short leash. First things first, he must learn to feed properly without creating bloodslaves (humans addicted to the powerful drug-like effect of their venomous bite).

And then she puts him to work––a male escort in the sex trade––same as Michelle. Aaron walks a tightrope of strictly controlled feeding regiments and intensely erotic sexual adventures while catering to the neurotic control-freak tendencies of his new master. It's do or die, Michelle vows to eliminate him if he proves too difficult to control. Amidst all these shocking and degrading adjustments, Aaron finds he's falling in love.

Can he maintain her rules and keep a sliver of his humanity intact? Innocence is a luxury few can afford in the decadent nightlife of New York. In a world where sex, blood, and power over women is so readily accessible, Aaron struggles against the predatory instincts deeply rooted in his new psyche. He must find his way quickly, practicing rigid self-control, or risk the consequences of Michelle's wrath.

Exercise Sucks! by Kent Burden @kentburden

Exercise Sucks! The Secret to Losing Weight Without Really Trying

For many people, the title of this book sums up how they feel about working out: Exercise Sucks!

But the reality is that losing weight and keeping it off through diet alone is virtually impossible, which is why most of us fail. To lose the weight and get that lean body you dream about you have to eat well and be active on a regular basis. New research reveals that most of us sit an astounding 7-11 hours every day!

Exercise Sucks! is based on the new science of sedentary studies, which points to the startling conclusion that “exercise” as we know it may not even be the most effective way to lose weight.
This sure-to-be-controversial book will show you how to:
•Change your habits and bring more regular activity to your day, allowing you to burn far more calories than you would “exercising.”
•Bring “real food” that is delicious and healthy back into your life easily!
•Learn movements that can be done at your desk or kitchen counter that will improve strength, flexibility, balance and energize you without breaking a sweat
•Choose foods that will help you lose weight without really trying
•De-stress your life to make weight loss easier and faster
•Make the most out of a short workout program to lose weight fast

Exercise Sucks! will help you lose the weight you want to lose with little or no time spent doing the thing most people hate… exercise.

Whitney in Charge by Diane Craver

Whitney in Charge

Two years ago, TV New York producer Whitney Benson returned to her roots in Ohio after her husband’s death in Iraq. Her older sisters, Shannon and Regan, think Whitney needs to move on with her life. They want her to be like them—happily married with children. Whitney is tired of her older sisters' attempts to fix her up with every single male they meet. Shannon and Regan cross the line when they arrange for her to go skydiving with the reason that more guys like to float in the air than women. Whitney hates flying and heights.

She realizes her sisters are busy with matchmaking to keep their minds off their mother’s recent death from cancer. She decides to suggest the three of them start a business and hopes that will take the focus off their constant matchmaking efforts. The sisters have fun considering several businesses from a cable TV talk show to an all-girl band. Whitney does wonder if her sisters can treat her as an equal in their new family business instead of their baby sister.

Whitney meets two eligible bachelors, paramedic Jack Hensley and Dr. Ben Spencer, who constantly battle for her affection. Which one will she choose? Both men make Whitney realize, even a heart shattered by her husband's death, can once again be made whole.

But did she have to fall and hit her head on a rock to figure that out?

FOR LOVE AND VENGEANCE by Johnny Ray

FOR LOVE AND VENGEANCE, AN INTERNATIONAL ROMANTIC THRILLER (The Operative)

Both the Americans and the Russians think Victoria works for them exclusively. In truth; the Pack, an International Crime Syndicate, brutally controls her while they launder money in America by buying distressed houses for terrorist sleepers. While she executes the perfect escape, staging her death during a shark attack, she makes one mistake—she meets Royce, who worked as a special operative several years earlier, the night before disappearing.  Royce, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with any American led special operations after he had been lied to in order to keep him focus on his prior mission. His girlfriend had been abducted and brutally murdered earlier while they had kept him in the dark. The last thing he had ever expected was another woman in his life, especially a Russian spy. Furthermore, he never would have believed that she would be the one thing that would encourage him to finish a mission that he should have taken care of the first time.  Royce is well trained on how to discover the truth, so although Victoria’s apparent shark attack was well conceived he knows better. He had used the life of a surfer bum for years as his cover. The more lies he uncovers, the more suspicious he becomes until finally he feels like he has little choice. His prior operation was so top secret even the CIA were told nothing He didn’t need them then, and he sure the hell didn’t need them this time either. The last time it was for country—this time it was going to be personal.

The Killing Ploy by Steve Haberman

The Killing Ploy

Pablo de Silva was once a tracker and shooter in the CIA's elite Eyes and Ears Unit, whose work in Europe includes surveillance and if necessary, killing.
But that was before Berlin.
On a Berlin mission, he lost his nerve and failed to save the life of a fellow agent and lover.
Tormented by this, sick of violence, held now in low regard by colleagues, he's transferred to a cushy job in Guatemala City to recuperate. One day, his former mention/head of the Unit calls him home with a new assignment. Liaise with an FBI counterterrorism expert in San Diego and see if the murders of two top Defense Department military contractors, headquartered in that city, have any European terrorist connection. If so, his mentor's Unit will take over.
The task seems simple to de Silva. Off to San Diego and beyond he goes, not realizing he's slipped into a dangerous world. Does he have more enemies than he thinks? Should he watch his back as well as his front? Not until the conclusion of his mission does he find out. And not until that end do his allies discover Pablo de Silva is much more than he seems.

Ain't Finished Yet by George Stratford

Ain't Finished Yet

From 50 year old jobless write-off, to award winning writer at the world’s most famous advertising agency.

At fifty years old I finally realised that I’ve become a bum. Worse than that, I was an unemployed bum with no educational qualifications whatsoever to my name during the recession of the early 1990s.

So how the heck did I make the huge leap from this sorry state, to working in the Mad Men world of major league advertising at Saatchi & Saatchi, London? And, by way of a bonus, also get to live out my very own 15 minutes of fame that pop art legend Andy Warhol promised everyone way back in 1968. From the BBC to the British national press, for a short while it felt as if everyone in the media wanted to talk to me.

But the truth is, none of this would have come about without a lot of luck, not to mention help from some wonderful people along the way. AIN’T FINISHED YET will tell you all about the amazing, amusing, heart-warming, great, (and even ‘not so great’) experiences that I encountered en-route in one simply magical six-year period.

The Gods of Chenoweth by Chris Reher

The Gods of Chenoweth

In the distant future and on a distant planet, brother-warriors Galen and Chor are sent to a nearby moon to rescue a woman whose mental abilities, still untrained and untried, must stand in the way of an advancing enemy.

But the simple assignment turns into a battle for their own survival and their freedom when the truths they discover force them to oppose the will of their ruthless and cruel leader. Reviled as demons by the people living on the moon and pursued by mysterious gods living on another, the brothers will have to decide between the destruction of one civilization and the future of their own world.

One woman can help them escape the bonds that enslave them, but what sacrifice are they willing to make to escape the violent passion that threatens to destroy them?

It Rains In February by Leila Summers

It Rains In February: A Wife's Memoir of Love and Loss

On the 24th of February 2007 my husband, Stuart, drowned himself at sea, leaving me widowed with two young daughters aged six and four. I knew it wasn't an accident, even though the medics and police never suspected suicide. Stuart had been talking about ending his life for a year. His most recent suicide attempt had been only three weeks earlier. Afterwards, he explained that day as the most peaceful day of his life. Sitting next to the dam, he smoked his last cigarette. He drank a hundred sleeping pills and did a final check to make sure everything would look like an accident. The last thing he remembered was swimming out into the crystal clear water. He said that he was no longer scared of dying, that there was nothing scary about it. Living was the scary thing.

It Rains In February: A Wife's Memoir of Love and Loss is the true story of a husband's depression and obsession, not only with another woman, but also with ending his life. In this honest and heartfelt narrative, Leila Summers weaves a compelling tale of the year that led up to Stuart's suicide and the grief, profound loss and self discovery that followed. Although each suicide is unique, this book gives the reader an insider's view from one perspective by way letters and e-mail messages.
