About the Author:

JoDee Neathery, drawing from her Southern California and Texas roots, plucked a few personalities off the family tree, encasing their world inside fictional events to create a literary novel. “I spent many hours savoring a suitcase full of old photographs and journals, realizing by discovering the past, the present became relevant. Every face and every word inside this treasure trove of antiquity told a story.”

JoDee spent her professional life in the banking industry, prior to branching out into the recruiting business with an exclusive contract with TracyLocke Public Relations and Bustin & Company in Dallas, and Creamer Dickson Basford in New York. Upon relocating to East Texas, JoDee spent six years handling public relations for a non-profit, and writing freelance articles for the newspaper, trade publications, newsletters, installation ceremony scripts, and sadly a few obituaries. Her dream “job” has been chairing, writing minutes, and reviews for her ninety-three member book club, Bookers, for the past thirteen years. She also enjoys a byline, Back Porch Musings, a light-hearted view of life in general, in an area newspaper.

She and her husband live in close proximity to their only daughter, son-in-law, two grandsons, a bird dog, three cats, a donkey, and a few head of cattle. Always an avid reader with a love of the written word, JoDee took a leap of faith debuting her novel, five years in the making.

Konstantin Khavin isn’t a religious man. His faith doesn’t reside in some higher power. He follows a darker path. He believes in the worst of mankind. He’s seldom disappointed.

A clandestine meeting with an informant leads to a gun, an SR-1 Vektor, which is the weapon of choice for the Russian secret service.

But this is what he lives for.

And more importantly, what he’s prepared to die for.

Today’s Price: $0.99

Click Here to Buy!

Book Description:

Under the dirty streets of Ismae’s greatest port city, an old nightmare waits for Sylandair and Aliara, one that is stealing Dockhaven’s children, one that only they can end.

When the pair escaped their owner and abuser years ago, they left him behind in a ball of blue flame, but as more children disappear near the city’s desalinization plant, they believe he may not be dead. When they embark on an underground search for him with their less-than-reliable puka scout Schmalch, what they find is beyond any expectation. It will lead them into a twisting world of inheritances, experimentation and memories they never wanted to exhume.

Things They Buried is the first full length novel of Ismae, a planet where bodies can be re-crafted at the genetic level while photography remains a luxury available only to the rich. It is a world where science sometimes appears as magic and history as myth, where monsters make themselves and heroes are wholly unintentional.

Book Description:

When Parker Collins, a gifted writing student at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, fails to show up for the first day of fall classes, his frantic girlfriend, Rishima Reynolds, files a missing person’s report. Though Parker has a history of alcohol abuse, disorderly conduct, and truancy, she insists he is committed to his writing classes, and is adamant something is very wrong.

Persuaded by the depth of her conviction, Radhauser drives up to a cabin at Sunset Lake where Parker spent the last month finishing a novel. It’s a manuscript his mentor, Professor Madison Hollingsworth, claims is brilliant. The Hollingsworth cabin has been trashed—the padlock on the liquor cabinet cut and empty bottles are strewn around the kitchen. It appears Parker has gone on a binge and disappeared with the Hollingsworth boat. Radhauser knows appearances are often deceiving. He returns to Ashland, hoping Parker is out on the lake and nursing a gigantic headache. But something about the cabin scene nags at Radhauser and won’t let him go.

The following morning, 72-year-old Homer “Sully” Sullivan, one of the lake’s few year-round residents, finds a bloated body floating face-down near his cottage. He phones Radhauser, terrified it could be Parker Collins—the boy Sully befriended and has come to love. Will this missing person’s case become a murder investigation?

A siren queen, a sexy mage, and an epic quest to save the sea.

I was Princess Liliana, a bit of a slacker, a bit of a rebel, just trying to find a cure for the dark sorcery spreading through the sea.

So when my parents end up dead, and I end up inheriting both the throne and a set of orphaned sea dragons, it’s pretty safe to say my life is about to change.

Cue the messenger from the thirteenth region. He tells me of a Legacy Stone, one that has the power to heal the sea. But in order to find it, I’ll need to journey onto dry land and seek the help of a powerful mage—or rather, her son, Cruz.

The journey is hard enough without him distracting me, and I need to keep my mind on the magical rock, instead of his rock-hard abs, if we’re going to save the world. Besides, I don’t have time for love if I’m going to succeed in curing the sea. There won’t be time for anything if we’re all dead…

Book Description:

MIX THE “GOOD” REVEREND WITH THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE
and all hell could break loose.

Minneapolis defense attorney Marc Kadella was hoping for a bit of peace after a failed homicide attempt in the form of a hit-and-run. But it’s hard to keep the peace in the midst of a string of police brutality accusations leading to civil unrest. In his ninth courtroom drama and legal thriller, Kadella finds himself trapped in a web of racism and corruption—thanks to a drug ring orchestrated by a villain so manipulative even hard-nosed investigator Tony Carvelli’s stumped.
After a twenty-year stint in an Illinois Penitentiary, drug-dealing murderer and rehabilitated gangbanger Damone Watson’s cleaned up. Not only has he found Jesus in his new digs in the Twin Cities, he’s also become a peacemaking darling of local Minneapolis media in the midst of a police brutality crisis. But not everybody buys his come-to-Jesus act—favored mayoral candidate Jalen Bryant and beloved black minister Lionel Ferguson included. And their motives aren’t exactly virtuous.

Meanwhile, Marc Kadella’s twiddling his thumbs in court—bored, even—while his new love and longtime confidante Maddy Rivers is on a divorce stakeout. She’s agreed to tail the much younger husband of beloved old friend Vivian Donahue’s troubled, drug-addicted niece, Nicolette. Seems the husband has, indeed, been having an affair with another older divorcee, but all goes awry when Nicolette shows up in the middle of Maddy’s surveillance to calmly blow both the husband and the lover away. And then offs herself. Enter fan-favorite Tony Carvelli to investigate the husband who, surprise surprise, isn’t at all who he seemed.

As tension in the cities continues to escalate—with media pieces aimed at the MPD fanning the flames—star defender Marc Kadella, gorgeous yet scrappy PI Maddy, the ever lovely Vivienne, and hard-nosed investigator Tony Carvelli all find their work loads intricately entangled in ways they never could have imagined. Because the body count’s about to rise—and Marc’s about to sign up to defend a cop accused of shooting an unarmed black man. Fed up with drug rings, gangs, police violence, and the connections between them, the mob-fueled Twin Cities are going to explode.

Book Description:

In 1974 a disenfranchised young man from a broken home set out to do the impossible. With a hundred dollars in his pocket, a beat up cavalry saddle, and a faraway look in his eye, John Egenes saddled his horse Gizmo and started down the trail on an adventure across the North American continent. Their seven month journey took them across 11 states from California to Virginia, ocean to ocean.. As they left the pressing confinement of the city behind them, the pair experienced the isolation and loneliness of the southwestern deserts, the vastness of the prairie, and the great landscapes that make up America. Across hundreds of miles of empty land they slept with coyotes and wild horses under the stars, and in urban areas they camped alone in graveyards and abandoned shacks. Along the way John and Gizmo were transformed from inexperienced horse and rider to veterans of the trail. With his young horse as his spiritual guide John slowly began to comprehend his own place in the world and to find peace within himself. Full of heart and humor, Egenes serves up a tale that’s as big as the America he witnessed, an America that no longer exists. It was a journey that could only have been experienced step by step, mile by mile, from the view between a horse’s ears.

Book Description:

PI Connor Marin still dreams about the murder. It never should have happened. But the army doesn’t make mistakes, or at least they’ll never admit they made one. Connor and five team members were part of a Ranger squad fighting the cartels in South America, when their communications got hacked. That meant two of Connor’s closest friends, men he had laughed and drank with, had gotten butchered while trying to protect their wives and children. No one suspected the murders were more than simple executions, until Connor started digging around.

Sometimes he dreams about the murders, and jumps out of bed in a cold sweat.

That’s why, four years later and no longer in the military, he still plots revenge. You see, the one thing Connor learned as soon as he got his PI license, was that the cartels had moved north, right into the US. And guess who’s been lurking in the shadows and keeping tabs on the players, banging heads for information, working clues, and getting closer to the person who ordered the murder of his friends. Yeah, you know.

It’s taken Connor four years to put the pieces together. Now he has a PI business, a crazy Jamaican employee who thinks he’s God’s gift to women, and a feisty Mexican girlfriend who he’s trying to save from some Russian no-neck mob types. If he can hold it all together, Connor is going to make national news when he springs his Killer Trap.

Yesterday’s Tomorrow

Book Description:

In 1941 Hitler spearheaded the Axis Powers war campaign on a sure path to victory and world domination. Late June of that year, Germany initiated Operation Barbarossa, invading the Soviet Union and diverting the core of its military force to the east. Launching the eastern front proved to be the single most detrimental blow to an otherwise nearly flawless military campaign and consequently cost Germany the war.

Sixty years later, a young historian is on the verge of unravelling the truth behind Hitler’s preposterous decree. Years of research have led professor Andy Spencer to believe a group of top Nazi officials and members of Hitler’s inner circle were behind the decision to invade Russia. The reason? So that Germany would eventually lose the war and the world would be saved from Hitler’s fascist dominance. But before he goes public with this groundbreaking revelation, Andy needs a proof – a living testimony that would give his theory the seal of legitimacy. Problem is, he is running out of time and sources. He is arranged to interview an ex-Nazi fugitive, supposedly one of the last living witnesses who could support his thesis. But when they meet, the old Nazi swears he recognizes Andy from the war and collapses under the strain of emotional burden before giving him anything of substance.

The episode leaves Andy with nothing but a reoccurring dream in which he is in Nazi occupied Europe sixty years in the past. For the next five nights, he keeps returning to the same place in a timeline parallel to his present-day life. Everything he experiences registers in his mind with such clarity, it feels more like he is living an alternate reality in his sleep. Andy fears he is losing his sanity, (Could it be that his Neo-Nazi contact man has subjected him to a mind-altering substance?) yet, every visit brings about fresh clues that connect his dream world with the real world, raising a possibility that maybe what he is experiencing is so profound, it goes beyond what he or anyone else could ever conceive.
