Category: Mystery

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

Meet the hottest detective duo in New Orleans–she’s Queen Latifah. He’s Danny DeVito. Or they would be if this were a movie–in print, they’re Talba Wallis and Eddie Valentino. Talba’s got the beauty, the brains, the computer savvy, the poetic soul,the youth, the right demographic, and the sass. Eddie’s got the detective agency. Also a short fuse and yes, wisdom. Not only do they make it work, they’ve got chemistry.

And they need every skill and ounce of courage they can summon in this intricate tale of a decades-old conspiracy only now coming home to roost, with the murder of Talba’s friend Babalu Maya. Babalu is actually Clayton Robineau, daughter of the local banker in a small Louisiana town that bears her name, a town buried under the weight of its own malevolent past.

Something terrible happened to Clayton as a child, but it was far from the usual “something terrible”. As Talba and Eddie investigate, they find it was an injury—both pscyhic and physical–so bizarre, so shameful and damning that almost anyone in town would kill to cover it up. Or so it seems to the New Orleans duo as they dodge bullets and what passes for the law in this malignant enclave, fetid with the rot of its corruption, yet determined to keep its sordid skeletons buried.

Then, in English class, a stapler mysteriously flies off teacher Eve Carrow’s desk, hitting a student in the face who has just mouthed off to her.

Then there was his thesis adviser, Suzannah Montgomery, who might have inadvertently revealed to Austin some information about her past that could ruin her own career. These three women and their other partners had plenty of reasons to kill the philandering graduate student.

Category: Christian Inspirational

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

Apostle Paul, King David, and Gideon are all some of the Bible’s greatest figures, and they all had one thing in common….

…they were all flawed! That’s right, these great men of God were all flawed. In fact, they all had several flaws. Why is this important? It’s important because everyone- including yourself- shares this trait with these great figures. By examining their characters and how they were able to overcome their flaws in the light of God’s glory, we can learn to better ourselves through our own flaws and begin building our faith stronger than ever!

In “Flawed but Faithful- Finding Meaning in our Faults”, we examine how nobody is perfect and how this common trait can be used to spur personal growth. In this inspirational book, you will see how the Apostle Paul needed time to turn to God, how King David overcame his great sins to become a man of God, and how Gideon learned to trust his faith when he originally needed proof of God’s amazing love. Many of us struggle with sins and our faith from time-to-time, and we are not alone. This important look at the Bible reminds us of that and encourages us to do better.

God knows you aren’t perfect, just as he knew these Bible figures were not perfect. He was patient with them and loved them regardless, and He will welcome you in the same way. Learn to embrace imperfection, trust your faith, undergo tremendous personal growth, and become a stronger Christian in this inspirational book. An in-depth look at some of the Bible’s greatest stories about imperfection and how it relates to our modern lives complements the author’s intelligent commentary to show you the path to a stronger faith.

Category: Young Adult

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

“Scattered Links is a novel that pulls its characters from the gutters and, in the end, celebrates the tenacity of the human spirit.” A reviewer comment.

Thirteen-year-old Oksana lives on the streets of Russia with her pregnant mama and abusive aunt—both prostitutes. When Mama swells into labor, Oksana makes a decision to save herself from abandonment, a decision that torments her forever. But her plan fails when her aunt dumps her in an orphanage before she has the chance to say goodbye to her mama or tell her the secret that haunts her.

Scattered Links is a story of family and the consequences that come from never learning how to love. It’s a story of a girl’s inability to bond with her adopted family and the frustrations that follow.

How can a child understand the mechanics of forming a healthy relationship when she never had a mother who answered her cries, held her when she was frightened, fed her when she was hungry, or loved her unconditionally?

Only when the child meets a rescued abused horse, and recognizes the pain in his eyes, does she begin to trust again.

Conspiracy theories are just crazy ideas people with too much free time make up. Aren’t they? No one is really making plans to take over the government or find ways to eliminate entire groups of people. At least that’s what Billy and Sarah Roth had always thought. Until now.

Information Sarah decodes from what should have been a simple piece of trash leads her to believe someone really is making plans to eliminate a large portion of the population. Including her. Before she and Billy can decide what–if anything–they should do with the information, they find themselves thrown right into the middle of what can only be called a real life conspiracy. And it seems to be stemming from the company Billy works for, Scinegue.

The Roth’s aren’t the ‘conspiracy theory’ type as Sarah’s quick to point out but she’s determined they should do whatever they can to keep the world safe. Billy will be happy if he can simply keep Sarah alive.

Category: Inspirational / Christian Living

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

Can you trust God with your heart’s desire?
This 31-day devotional explores how we can share our dreams and fears with God, and discover that He cares and loves our dreams. Each day features Bible verses for meditation and a short essay for your personal reflection and prayer.

If you’ve wondered if your dreams will ever come true…
By the end of our month together, you’ll find new hope for your dreams, and Jesus calling you into a relationship that will be a lifelong source of comfort and strength.

From this day forward, while you’re waiting for your dream, you’ll know that you’re not alone.
Waiting is often when God draws us closest to Him, to receive the gift of His companionship. Instead of waiting on God to fix your life, you’ll find that you are working with God to create the life He’s planned for you all along.

When you feel alone, don’t despair: God is with you. God loves you. God will never abandon you.
Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, He will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear him.

Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. ~ Isaiah 30:20 -22

The God King, by James A. West, is free today in the Amazon Kindle store, and this book has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 94 customer reviews.

Category: Fantasy

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

The adventure begins here…

Heroes are not born, they are forged in the fires of apocalypse…

Mercenary Kian Valara wants nothing more than to retire from a life of blood and butchery. But when an arrogant princeling offers him enough gold to buy a throne, Kian straps on his sword for one last mission. And besides, what could be easier than guarding a prince who wants to sow his royal seed in every backwater fortress and village throughout the realm?

Turns out, dying would’ve been easier.

Kian discovers too late that the prince’s ambition has shattered the foundations of the world, and that he intends to remake all Creation.

As the moons collide and the skies burn, Kian and his devastated company of warriors hound the demented prince across a nightmare realm. At every turn, Kian must fight for his life against demons escaped from the underworld, and those who they have transformed into blood-hungry terrors.

Along the way, Kian meets a powerful and beautiful woman who prepares him for a battle he has small hope of winning. To triumph, Kian must summon all his skill and courage, he must sacrifice more than he ever imagined he could, and he must embrace the dark secret that binds him to the power-mad prince.

Only one thing is certain: if Kian fails, the world of men will burn in the fires of apocalypse, and the God King will rule unchallenged and unpunished.

A Little Different Rambling Blog Post

December 21, 2013 by Michael Gallagher 1 Comment

Well, this post is a little bit different, so please bear with me for a few moments…

I frequently mention my family in my “rambling” blog posts as they usually keep me grounded in reality. A 9th grade daughter and a 6th grade son keep my wife and me on our toes! As many of you know, since I have mentioned it a few times over the years, they are always looking for ways to start their own business, make extra money, you name it. They have always said they wanted to write a book and put it up for sale in the Amazon Kindle storefront. My usual reply was “sure, what’s your topic or subject?”

That usually started a conversation over the years of random things such as the relatively unknown (yet obviously in high demand) guide to crazy blue frogs, a book of limericks or riddles, a kid’s book review club, a pirate adventure book, or even a guide to playing Pokemon; I still don’t understand Pokemon after all of these years, and I doubt many parents ever will. As with many great ideas for both kids and adults, the idea was always there but the execution never seemed to happen.

All of that changed last year after our daughter approached me and said she wanted to go to Washington, DC for spring break with a group from her school. After I asked her how she was going to pay for it, she replied back she was going to write a book – little brother jumped in on the conversation, also, and so they did. Start to finish, and pretty much all by themselves.

I will tell you they spent days compiling and editing the book, collaborating, making corrections, you name it. Most important to me they learned a heck of a lot, did quite a bit of research, discussed what they wanted to do and compromised with each other (after a little arguing and some refereeing by Mom and Dad), worked on creating a book cover, and did what a lot of adults can’t do and figured out how to convert a text document to the Kindle format. Thanks to the generosity of many of you and lots of others, they raised enough to pay for our daughter’s spring break trip and our son to buy his very own laptop computer.

Why am I telling you all of this?

They have done it again – this time, they want to go on an as-yet to be determined trip over the summer as well as raise money for the Make-A-Wish foundation. Why did they pick the Make-A-Wish foundation? They watched a special featuring a wish child and, before the show was even over, they both said they wanted to do something to help another child get their own wish.

What’s the title or subject, you may ask (if you didn’t ask I was going to tell you anyway)? They have created a continuation of last year’s neat little book called Quote of the Day 2014, which provides a daily inspirational or humorous quote, and what they believe is something to inspire you each day or make you chuckle in your walk of life. Each quote was hand-selected by them, and features quotes from the famous and not-so-famous everyday people to begin your day.

Of course, I’d love for each of you to buy a copy not only for yourself but gift several copies of the Kindle version of the book to your friends and family! After Amazon takes their cut and the government demands their “fair” share, each copy sold will contribute $1.36 to their goal: 90% will go to their trip and 10% will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation of the Gulf Coast

You can check out the book if you click here or type in http://smarturl.it/2014quote into your web browser.

In addition to my daughter and son thanking you if you purchase the book, my wife and I will be thanking you more as we try to teach them about putting in hard work in order to earn money to do the things you would like to do in life and families don’t have money trees growing in the back yard. If you do purchase or borrow (via your Prime membership) a copy, you have my appreciation – if this Kindle book venture of theirs is a success or otherwise, I’ll keep you updated on their status!

Thanks for listening, and your regularly-scheduled programing will resume soon!

The Diet Dropout’s Guide to Natural Weight Loss: Find Your Easiest Path to Naturally Thin, by Stan Spencer, is regularly $5.00 but has been discounted 80% to just $0.99 in the Amazon Kindle store. This book has received an average user rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars based on 101 customer reviews.

Category: Health

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

This book isn’t about the latest celebrity diet, wonder food, or miracle supplement. It’s about creating a personalized weight loss plan—your own easiest path to naturally thin. While you can lose weight with almost any diet, keeping the weight off is much more difficult, requiring permanent changes in eating and exercise habits. This book provides a science-based approach for making those changes in a way that works best for you, without wasting time, money, or effort.

Dr. Spencer explains why we gain weight and why the fat lost by dieting almost always comes back. He then presents an array of practical weight loss tools for controlling emotional eating, calming cravings, boosting metabolism, and improving nutrition and exercise. In the final chapter he has you create a natural weight loss plan based on your unique set of needs, abilities, and preferences. Simple recipes are provided for weight loss foods that reduce cravings and prolong satisfaction.

What this book offers is a solid approach to weight loss—self-directed, gradual, and lasting—in contrast to the quick but fleeting weight loss offered by most one-size-fits-all diet plans.

If he succeeds, Fergus will cease to exist.

Danger grows in the feud between the MacDonalds and the MacKenzies as the pair, along with an ingenious friend and high tech inventions, returns to 1604 Scotland to face these brawny Highlanders and reunite with kin.

Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening by S.D. Sawyer has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars based on 24 customer reviews. I received a note from the author saying this book would be free through August 3rd.

Category: Historical Fiction

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

Have we made things right with our Vietnam Veterans? It’s been almost one-half century since American involvement in this unpopular war, but after reading Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening, readers understand why author S.D.Sawyer has written this novel and asked this question.

Inspired by real-life experiences of the author and her husband, this historical fiction mines the personal histories of protagonist Tom Barrington and other soldiers during this turbulent period. Tom arrived at his first assignment, The Old Guard, in Arlington, VA, in December, 1967. Months later he was ordered to Ranger School, and finally deployed to Vietnam. His young wife, Meg, juggled her career as a new teacher while adapting to regulations required of an Army wife, before entering the foreboding world of the Waiting Wife.

Wounded half-way through his tour, Tom went from combat on a jungle trail to surgery in Japan, to enrollment at a small college back home. Anti-war demonstrations and protests cordoned off returning veterans from what should have been safe soil. Ignored by institutions and support networks that had offered care to returning soldiers in past decades, these veterans could never have prepared for a peacetime home front that would prove as perilous and haunting as the theater of war they had faced in Southeast Asia.

Sawyer presents a hard contrast between the repeatedly tested valor of such noble heroes, and the chilling response to them from this once-proud country. Prelude to Reveille: A Vietnam Awakening possesses a sense of time and place that foreshadows issues still facing military families. Its tone and details make it resonate with those who lived during this era as well as future generations who will only learn of these conflicts from a history book.

Bravery and commitment to America are not limited to times of triumph and national celebration, but remain steadfast and true in the face of protracted engagement, ambiguous mission and uncertain outcome. In this tribute to our soldiers, S.D. Sawyer invokes a call for the America of today to awaken to what Vietnam War era soldiers have lived through, and realize—many still need to be welcomed back home.

A Call to Faith: The Journey of a Cancer Survivor by J. Patrick Thomas has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars based on 14 customer reviews. I received a note from the author saying this book would be free through August 3rd.

Category: Inspirational / Religion

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

May I pray for you? Five words that would forever change my life. No, I am neither a priest nor rabbi, but I was the recipient of those words from a doctor several years ago when being told that I was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and had a small chance of survival, and included the phrase as the opening passage in my book, A Call to Faith. Although surviving cancer is a recurrent theme, it is weaved throughout the text in the genre of inspirational and religious bodies of work, similar in vein to The Shack or 90 Minutes in Heaven. The struggles are real and give expression to both grief and hope. The events encountered in the story are true. The story is my story and expressed from a third person point of view.

The story is set in Charleston and finds its characters meandering throughout the Lowcountry. Young and handsome, beautiful wife and children, and a small fortune before the age of thirty. He had it all – or did he? Skip Sibley (main character) never knew his marine aviator father who died in a plane crash when he was young. Struck with the tragedy of a younger sister who committed suicide in college and who continued to pay apparitional visits to Skip in times of need. Encounters with God at just the appropriate time when giving up on life was more than a thought. But his toughest battles may still lie ahead of him; finding his faith in God through cancer and divorce.

This faith-based work takes its readers on a tour of the South from churches to hospitals. Southern flavor is established as the Sibley family seeks help from Gullah native Ms. Janie, who cares for Skip and the children during their time of need. The story attempts to show resilience in the face of adversity that comes into each of our lives, and that only through finding a relationship with God can we ensure that life will continue beyond death. It can touch the hearts of those who have lived or visited the Lowcountry, or who have lost loved ones to cancer, suicide or accidental death.

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

Eleven-year-old Sarah Stone is lonely in a mansion amidst butlers, nannies, housekeepers, and a father who is too busy for her. She is angry at the world. On the other side of town, in a slum called the Sink, Jared Roberts and his gang barely survive broken families and a hardscrabble existence. Jared, too, is angry, and intends to do something about it. He eyes Sarah’s mansion for a pre-Christmas burglary that will show the world who he really is.

Into this mix comes a mysterious little man named Nicholas, who intrigues, yet scares, Sarah and Jared. Against incredible doubt and cynicism, Nicholas tries to guide the two youths away from their anger and the suffering that will follow, only to realize he can not move them. Finally, he whisks them to another time and place where a Christmas long ago teaches them the true meaning of life in a way they never imagined.

MARY’S SON is a modern tale of the fears and passions of youth overcome by the wonder of the real Christmas story.
