Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age by William C. Philips

About Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age by William C. Philips

FREE KINDLE EDITION, DECEMBER 2-6
Despite the subtitle, ‘Growing up in the Atomic Age,’ Philips assures readers that the experimental radium doses he received as a child did not contribute to his growth or endow him with any superpowers…yet.
DUCK & COVER is a time machine to the Atomic Age–the reader experiences the joys, tragedies, fears, and adventures of a Baby Boomer growing up through the 1950s and onwards. But there was a downside–the threat of nuclear war. Without downplaying the seriousness of a possible atomic attack in the ’50s and early ’60s, Philips finds humor in nuclear annihilation in the titular story, “Duck and Cover.” And ultimately, the book is a memoir of not just one person but a generation. Fans of Dave Barry and Garrison Keilor will laugh (and cry) reading this humorous memoir of a bygone era.

She loves the law, loves justice but the true love of her life is the man she investigated and exonerated of murder two years ago, and now lives with, Josh Sibley.

As Rosemaria moves forward with her new job, Josh is also facing major changes in his life. No longer seeking solace in a bottle and barely eking out a living writing commercial jingles, he now is on the cusp of becoming the successful songwriter and singer he dreamed he would become. World famous singing sensation Joell has recorded one of his songs for a movie and will include it in her upcoming album. He seems destined for fame and financial security.

But Rosemaria is not a cop anymore and any investigation she attempts is severely limited and discouraged by her former bosses at the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Rosemaria must arrange protection for the girls, continue working her case load at the courthouse, search for answers to the murder and deal with the coworker who seeks to destroy her career. At the same time, Josh is dealing with impending fame and his secret plans for Sammy the elephant. Through it all, their support for one another is unfailing. When it finally seems that some semblance of order is falling into place, Rosemaria faces an unexpected, terrifying threat and she must depend on those who love her to rescue her from certain death.

The New Empire by Alison McBain

About The New Empire by Alison McBain

Fire. Blood. His brother’s hand smashing his face to the ground. These are Jiangxi’s final memories of Beijing from 1751. In the alternate history novel The New Empire, a bloody coup imprisons the emperor’s youngest son in the bowels of a cargo ship, headed to a much different America than we’ve read about in history books, one dominated by a large tribal Confederacy supported by a trading partnership with Beijing. Thousands of Chinese political prisoners have built this new empire with their forced labor.

When Jiangxi arrives in the distant city of Wacharon, a trading hub for a powerful tribal confederacy, he is sold upon his arrival. As he begins to learn about the influential man who bought him, he’s caught between the two worlds of his past and present, forced to choose between following the law of the land or striking out on his own to find a new and bold path to freedom. But Jiangxi’s journey of self-discovery has a steep price. The choices he makes will change not only the course of his own life, but also the future of the two most powerful nations in the world.

There’s More Bodies Out There by Rick Porrello

About There’s More Bodies Out There by Rick Porrello

The true story of a Mafia associate and a police officer who emerge as suspected serial killers. Richard Henkel claims he murdered twenty-eight people. The author, a former police chief, wanted details. So, he asked.

“At first, Henkel politely declined my request,” Rick Porrello said. “Six months later, I persisted and sent him a page of questions based on three years of investigative research. He claimed there were significant inaccuracies about him, his crew members, and even some of his alleged victims. And he wanted to correct them. In our ten months of communication, Henkel was usually candid, but when it came to his associates, especially ex-police officer Gary Small, he was tight-lipped. And when I occasionally pushed too hard, he became angry. However, Henkel said he did not lie once to me.”

Homicide Detective Bob Payne remembered Richard Henkel pausing to look out over a wooded area and saying, “There’s more bodies out there.”

This book is the true story of one of the country’s most dangerous con artists, his police officer partner, the men and women who fell victim to his venom, and the lawmen who persevered to serve justice.
