The Awakening of Artemis

About The Awakening of Artemis

Orphaned and disillusioned, Diana Gutierrez-Adams is on a routine military assignment when she and her team are kidnapped by a domestic militia. She learns from her captors that her cryogenically-frozen grandfather is at the center of a high-stakes caper to steal technology for greed and great fortune. Challenged by the conspiracy and pulled by emotions she doesn’t fully understand, Diana begins a rescue mission that will change her life.

Set in 2049 America — a world where the elites make all the rules and artificial intelligence enforces them – the real danger is that the technology will be lost in the ensuing chaos. With her life under threat, Diana is forced into a desperate bid to escape, taking with her Gabrielle, her soulmate and the one person she knows she can trust.

To evade a devious enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Diana and Gabrielle must outsmart the global monitoring systems that tracks their every move. On a trail littered with the dystopian remains of middle-class America, they will come face-to-face with an artificial intelligence that threatens the future of all humankind.

What happens to her is unexpected, perhaps miraculous – an adventure that embraces all her hopes for finding her true self and her place in a world dominated by powerful elites and even more powerful artificial intelligence.

About Featured Book: The Alice ’65 by Kyle Michel Sullivan

A romantic comedy about an English lad, an American girl, a rare book worth millions, and a lonely guard panther…not your typical day in LA.

Adam Verlain loves his careful, cloistered world of rare and antiquarian books. But when an American celebrity offers her very valuable 1865 copy of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” to his university, he has to be all but forced to travel from London to Los Angeles to close the deal. Then after a disastrous flight, he is taken aback when the actress refuses to give up the novel unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem…well, rather odd.

Subjected to a radical Hollywood makeover, Adam is mistaken for a British actor, dragged to a goofy party, has to dodge an overly affectionate guard panther, and is shocked to learn the actress has lost the book.

Can he escape the spotlight shenanigans to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And keep himself from falling for a woman who is way beyond his reach in this zany quest to rescue a priceless classic?

The Vintage Ladies Collection. Volume One.: The Perfect Present for Ladies who Love to Laugh by Marilyn Messik

The Vintage Ladies Collection. Volume One.: The Perfect Present for Ladies who Love to Laugh by Marilyn Messik

From the late 1800s through the turn of the last century, people wanted to communicate just as much as they do now. Naturally, they used the postal system, so things took a little longer, but news is news, whichever way it arrives.

To meet demand Lithographed Postcards, often hand-tinted were produced for every occasion you can imagine, as well as some you probably couldn’t! And what could be better than taking the family along to a professional photographer because photos could be reproduced for distribution to those family and friends who were interested – as well as to those who probably weren’t. Photo sessions were often formal (think waxwork). Others were carefully staged with props and backdrops to create atmosphere, although it has to be said, in many of these the subjects look less than relaxed and in some cases, positively startled.

Once I started collecting shots from Public Domain records, as well as ferreting in lots of dusty, cobwebbed attic corners or scraping the bottoms of boxes in garage sales, it became pretty impossible to stop, (don’t judge me). The images I gathered, the more apparent it became they had so much to say, were dying to say it and lacked only the means to do that.

Now, may I suggest you hang on to your smelling salts, grab your fans and tighten your corsets, the Vintage Ladies, not to mention several Vintage Gentlemen, have arrived. Take a look. FOUR DAY FREE SPECIAL OFFER: 17, 18, 19, 20 Sept.

Amazon reviewers say:
~ “Very clever, I defy anyone to keep a straight face.”
~ “Bought for 3 colleagues, never been so popular!”
~ “Got this for my sis, then kept it, I’m a bad person, when’s next one out?”

Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

About Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

Told in the context of a life long feud between Musashi and his arch rival, Sasaki Kojiro Ganryu, this epic life story centered around revenge is a version of Miyamoto Musashi’s life story you do not want to miss!

A special full length book and the 10th installment of Justin Hagen’s Jitsuroku series, The Life of Miyamoto Musashi retells Walter Dening’s version of Musashi’s life with updated commentary shedding new light on the life of this influential figure in Japanese and martial arts history.

Since Dening’s time, a great deal more research has been conducted about the life of Miyamoto Musashi, master swordsman turned legend. With such studies it would appear that while a significant portion of Dening’s work at face value appears mainly to be fictional, there still seems to be layers and fragments of true aspects of Musashi’s life intermingled with other personages throughout history. As such, additional commentary, a new Foreword and new Afterword have been added to the original story in an attempt to bridge the gap between fact and fiction to bring historical context to this version of Musashi’s life.

Available for only $0.99 for Kindle!
