Genre: Fantasy / Historical Fiction

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

“Holtzclaw hadn’t heard of Auraria until his employer sent him to destroy it…”

Shimmery mystery and spirits, humble monsters, singing trees and vengeful fish in the 19th-century north Georgia mountains

Water spirits, moon maidens, haunted pianos, headless revenants, and an invincible terrapin that lives under the mountains. None of these distract James Holtzclaw from his employer’s mission: to turn the fading gold-rush town of Auraria, GA, into a first-class resort and drown its fortunes below a man-made lake. But when Auraria’s peculiar people and problematic ghosts collide with his own rival ambitions, Holtzclaw must decide what he will save and what will be washed away.

Taking its inspiration from a real Georgia ghost town, Auraria is steeped in the folklore of the Southern Appalachians, where the tensions of natural, supernatural and artificial are still alive.

Category: Memoirs and Biographies

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

A memoir from a retired firefighter about firefighting, rescue calls and life around the firehouse.

It’s not all about fire – that’s lesson number one.

No, it’s a collection of things: assisting an injured person at three o’clock in the morning, calming a child in a traumatic situation, saving the belongings of a family from the ravages of a fire, seeing people in every heartbreaking situation imaginable and trying to help them, while not losing yourself in the process.

And it’s about the insanity found in the firehouse – to the author it’s the Cracker Factory – and the politics and pettiness that try unsuccessfully to steal the joy from the job. This book is the blue-collared view of a career firefighter. The seventeen stories in Notes from the Firehouse take the reader on a journey with the everyday firefighter from his first days as a rookie, to his last fire that prematurely sends him into retirement.

Eject Gut-Roots of Your Sickness and Take Your Life Back

A renowned gastroenterologist and nutritionist shares his Seven-Point Digestive Restoration Plan that targets Gut-Immune-Skin-Brain axis based on medical evidence and decades of experience.

“All diseases begin in the gut,” said Hippocrates (460-370 BC).

Ever wonder why gut may be involved in so many diverse diseases including brain dysfunction? Consider the following facts:

*Gut is the largest immune organ, and if stretched has surface area of one football field!

*With about 100 million nerve cells in the gut, it has little brain of its own (Enteric Nervous System).

*Trillions of bacteria in the gut are in cross-talk with our big brain all the time.

*Gut bacteria train and educate our immune system in early years so the immune system can differentiate between friend or foe.

*Gut interacts with various organs in body via Gut-Immune-Skin-Brain axis.

The roots of your future health were laid while you were in the womb and during your early years. Genes are only a small part of it! If you are at a loss as to what is wrong and why you can’t be healthy, think about your gut.

In your gut reside trillions of bacteria. Only a single microscopic cell lining separates your body from these bacteria. These bacteria, good and bad, affect your health 24/7 via the Gut-Immune-Skin-Brain axis.

Your gut occupies a central role in your health!

Not only are chronic digestive illnesses widespread, there continues to be a rise of autism and allergies in kids, as well as chronic pain like fibromyalgia, migraine, and interstitial cystitis in adults. Arthritis, acne, and psoriasis are widespread. All of these are associated with high-intensity GI problems.

What is leaky gut and how can you strengthen it? What kind of foods should you avoid? Which probiotic should you take? What is a good way to do a colon cleanse, flush, and detox? Is there a natural treatment for IBS?

Dr. M’s Seven-X Plan provides invaluable information and answers to the above questions and a lot more. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Time to get healthy is now! Take action now!

Ignoring his father’s warning, Jim Scoresby rides out Hurricane Katrina in his grandfather’s house in New Orleans. Soon rising waters strand Jim and his aging friend, Freddy Beasley. As they wait for rescue, Jim wishes his own father would believe in him the way Freddy does. A fierce argument followed by a gut-wrenching discovery send Jim north to rebuild his life and to prove his father wrong. From New Hampshire, to Boston’s historic neighborhoods, to Maine and Cape Cod, Jim throws himself into New England life, while learning to appreciate the New Orleans culture he left behind. After his charismatic boss, Commodore Walter Henretty, introduces Jim to his beautiful but spoiled daughter, Jim’s life—and his heart—seem to be on the mend. As their friendship deepens, Walter imparts much-needed wisdom, yet Jim is haunted by memories of Katrina and by another storm, the one raging within him. While on several sailing expeditions with the Commodore, Jim discovers an unpleasant truth about himself: a newfound fear of open waters. When the seas turn rougher than expected, it is only through relying on his own courage that Jim learns the most valuable lesson of his life.

While keeping her eye on her good friend Harry, Angie will have to shift through the evidence and find the ruthless murderer.

In doing so, she will also become a target. Unless she is careful,intelligent and ruthless, Canterly will not be the only murder victim in this small tightly-knit community.

A WESTERN PRAIRIE BRIDES ROMANCE THAT BEGAN WITH LANTERN IN THE WINDOW.

It’s 1896 on the Canadian prairies, and Betsy Tompkins wants to be a photographer.

Western prairie women have two choices: marry, and be a wife, or stay single, and be a spinster. Betsy knows the spinster option is the only one for her. She’s deaf, and hearing men live in a different world. Also, wives simply don’t have careers–they cook, clean, and raise children.

SERGEANT JAMES MACLEOD OF THE NORTH WEST MOUNTED HAS A DARK AND TROUBLING SECRET.

Leaving his native Scotland was a painful and life changing choice, and he feels he can’t go back. He’s determined to make a new life for himself on the Canadian prairies. He’d like a wife and a family, but eligible women are scarce, and he’s an educated man. He’s just doing his job when he meets Betsy, but suddenly he sees his future in a whole new light. He wants her to be his bride.

BETSY CAN’T BELIEVE THAT JAMES KNOWS HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH HER.

But he’s still a hearing man, sign language or not. And in spite of her growing feelings for James, there’s her life long desire for a career to consider.

The NWMP motto is “Maintiens le Droit”

James must honor his commitment to keep the peace on the wild Canadian prairie, even though it takes him far away from Betsy and endangers his very life. But he finds a friend who’ll help him bring peace to his own troubled soul. The question is, will he lose Betsy in the process?

A CULT LEADER, A CACHE OF CASH, AN UNHOLY MESS!

The police aren’t convinced.

As Jake and his carpenter sidekick, Rosie, trail the wealthy visionary from a health-food factory in Sonoma to a casino in Tahoe, thugs, drugs and the murdered body of Noah’s attractive assistant add up to a lot less than a biblical tale.

Enter to Win a New Kindle Fire!

March 28, 2015 by Michael Gallagher 40 Comments

It has been a couple of months since there has been a giveaway, so let’s just get started and create one – this time to win a new Kindle Fire!

In order to win the Fire, here are a couple of rules for this giveaway:

The time period is between now and 11:59 p.m. Central Time April 9th (that’s a Thursday).
You can enter more than once with several options to win as explained below.
In addition to having a little fun with the blog, I’m continuing my efforts to increase the blog’s email subscription option; if you do sign up for the email delivery option you can always unsubscribe at any time. The email subscription option will put your name into the hat with five chances to win.
You can also have more chances to win if you refer a friend – one additional chance for each friend you refer for up to ten people.
You can also earn more chances to win by following the blog on Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook.
You don’t have to be a resident of the USA to enter – in other words, you can live anywhere in the world.

To enter:

Just scroll down to the Enter to Win section of the box a little further down on this page.
For five chances to win, click on the “Join the Free Kindle Books and Tips Blog Mailing List” option. Click on the “I would like to subscribe” option that certifies you are over 13 years old, then click the green “Enter” icon. PLEASE make sure you reply to the confirmation email you will receive to prove we are not spamming anyone (and you can cancel at any time).
For an additional 10 chances to win, you can refer the giveaway (and the blog) to a friend – one additional chance per friend up to a maximum of ten friends. After you have entered via the method above, a box will appear right below “Enter to Win” titled “Share This” that will give each entrant a unique URL you can share with your friends. For each friend that enters the giveaway, you will receive +1 entry into the giveaway: each entrant can refer up to 10 people. It’s pretty easy as you can tweet, share on Facebook, or email your friends a unique link.
For an additional six chances to win, you can “Like” the blog’s Facebook page or follow the blog on Twitter or Pinterest by selecting the appropriate option – that’s two chances to win for each of these options or an additional six chances if you select all three. If you are already following the blog in this manner, click the option anyway as you MUST do that for your additional entries.
For an additional 12 chances to win, you can tweet about the giveaway once a day on Twitter – that’s one chance to win for each day the giveaway is running.

In return, here is what I will do:

Randomly draw one winners from all of the entries. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to the email sent to them or another winner will be randomly selected.
Promptly order a new Kindle Fire and have Amazon ship it to the winner. If you live outside the USA, and Amazon does not ship the Kindle Fire to your country, I will send you an Amazon gift card for the same value as the price (in U.S. dollar equivalent) of a new Kindle Fire.

The last giveaways have been fun, and generated a lot of excitement and here’s to hoping the same holds true for this one!

If you’re reading this on your e-ink Kindle and not the actual blog page, you can go to your computer’s web browser and type in http://smarturl.it/415fire and enter away!

Website Owners / Authors

Several people have asked me on previous giveaways how they can have their web visitors, blog readers, and friends join in on future giveaways: the more the merrier! There are two ways:

Just link them to the giveaway page on the blog – just tell them to go to http://smarturl.it/415fire on their web browser.
You can embed a widget just like the one I have on this page to your website or blog page. Just click here and follow the easy instructions (if I can figure it out, it has to be easy). All entries will go into the same hat!

That should do it – and good luck to everyone!
