About Undeterred: How One Determined Vietnamese Orphan Carved Out a Place for Himself in America

Undeterred is a moving ride through the life of one determined Vietnamese orphan boy named Long who, despite the bigotry and hate he faces, carves out a place for himself in America. This is a positive immigrant success story.

With tanks approaching and bombs exploding mere yards away, five-year-old Long has only moments to decide whether to risk the jump to join his brother in the water below. The boys must leave everything they know to survive and unknowingly have embarked on an intense journey that will lead to a new life in America.

The boys face new perils in the United States and find that the only thing they can depend on is each other. Encountering indifference and neglect inside a string of foster homes, Long determines that the only way to regain his independence is to earn his own money. Undeterred is Long’s story of starting from zero, setting goals for himself, and achieving the American dream of being a multi-millionaire as few ever have.

The Santas

About The Santas

Free November 21-25, 2022
—————-
SANTA IS DEAD.

Santa’s helpers don’t always dispose of bodies, but that’s what Tucker Smith is doing right now.

He just found his boss, Nick—the Santa for Charlotte, North Carolina—murdered in an apparent random act of violence. A former cop, Tucker is overcome with an intense need to find out who did this to Nick, and why.

Luckily, The Organization–a philanthropic group with branches in cities across the world–quickly sent a replacement Santa, but he requires training.

Somehow Tucker has to manage to deliver Christmas to his assigned region, train the new Santa, and uncover the mystery of who killed Nick, all while he struggles to patch things up with his crumbling family.

…And there are only 5 days left until Christmas.

—————–

A gritty, but heart-warming Christmas tale!

Known for his post-apocalyptic military thrillers, D.J. Molles has crossed genres with this modern day Santa story that’s a healthy dose of holiday murder mystery with a sprinkle of Christmas magic.
—————–

– “A Christmas story that, if/when made into a film, will supplant James Stewart’s It’s a Wonderful Life AND Bruce Willis’ Die Hard.” -Amazon Reviewer

-“This book came into my life at a time when darkness was snuffing out the light. It ignited a new hope. A story of loss and hardship but…of magic as well.” – Amazon reviewer

– “I am not one to have much Christmas spirit. I bah humbug like the Grinch and don’t really enjoy the holidays. Mr. Molles wrote an exciting Christmas story that really speaks to me.” -Amazon Reviewer

The Grunts of Wrath

About The Grunts of Wrath

Combat diaries from elite operators and commanding officers dominate the space. But what happens when regulars face the fire?

Ronny Bruce is a renaissance man: philosopher, drifter, Gen X rock ‘n’ roller, and gentleman. At thirty-two, divorced and burnt-out with the burbs, Ronny bails on his teaching career and seeks army infantry. It’s no joke when boot camp is mandatory since his marine corps’ service ended ten years beforehand. Assigned to Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Ronny’s platoon hunts an Afghan foe who’s never surrendered. Half collapse from wounds.

Ronny’s decade-long postwar journey examines victory and failure. Realities include grieving over friends’ deaths and processing crimes or addictions of old battle buddies. Six men expire before thirty-five as a result of four suicides, one unexplained death, and murder. Labels for the living include felon, vagrant, drunk, addict, depressed, and suicidal. Ronny checks some boxes. Graduate, businessman, engineer, teacher, accountant, and rich describes other paths. Ronny checks some of those too.

War through the eyes of this offbeat ATLien provides explosive payoffs that get smothered by each turning page – answering an age-old question: what drives warriors over the edge?

The Fourth King by Edward JF Parry

About The Fourth King by Edward JF Parry

Christian tradition says three kings visited the infant Christ. That’s probably because there were three gifts. Three gifts implies three kings, right? Wrong. In fact there were four kings. The fourth king brought a different kind of gift. This is his story – and his teenage grandson’s too.

On an ancient Island a powerful but lonely old king grieves his beloved wife.

Meanwhile, his likeable teenage grandson, Cormac is on a journey of self discovery as he approaches manhood. But something is wrong. The truth threatens to shatter both their worlds.

When the King is called to make a journey of his own, he cannot refuse.

Two quests. One destination that will change both their lives. And the history of the world!

A beautifully told, gripping Historical Novel that’s destined to become a Christmas classic. The action and emotion will have you on the edge of your seat.

It has a Christian theme (the birth of Christ) but there’s definite crossover appeal for any Historical fiction fans. The book brings a controversial but plausible take on the Celts, the level of trade between Ireland, Europe and Africa and the general state of civilisation in 1 BCE.

Reader Comments:

“A brilliant retelling of a Christmas legend!”
“An exceptionally well written book by an outstanding new author”
“Made me laugh and made me cry. Extraordinary. I’d recommend it to anyone.”

“The key thing I love about the book, is the notion of passing on wisdom via generations, and learning the subtle nuances about how to read people – this is done beautifully in a highly skilled way by the writer. The characters and the world created are very vivid, easy to visualize, and stay with you. It is extremely moving.”

If you like historical dramas, thrillers, supernatural suspense and biblical adventures, you won’t be able to put down the compulsively addictive Fourth King.

Christmas in the Cabin by Sofia T Summers

Christmas in the Cabin by Sofia T Summers

Driving home for Christmas, I couldn’t outrun the snow or Nick Wallace. 
I had travelled the world, but nothing prepared me for that fateful night in his cabin…
Not even for the baby girl who arrived eight months later. 

There were secrets pride urged me to keep. 
Nick never learned about his daughter, our daughter, 
And I kept my word that my father would never know what we did. 
Their friendship didn’t need to be shattered like all my hopes.

Now, fate is calling me back home for an extended holiday season.
There will be no quick getaway this time.

People say that time heals all wounds, but what can an all-consuming kiss do? 
Everything always looks better under the glow of holiday lights,
But will the harsh light of reality be the end of everything I once craved from Nick?

This Christmas, will I finally stop running?

Forgotten Babylon

About Forgotten Babylon

The gods live in paradise in the garden of Eden where Anu Is the king of the gods and Urus is the queen. Anu’s daughter, the goddess Ninsun, has returned to Eden with her infant son Gilmos, who was fathered by a human being, King Lugalbanda. Anu forbids the child entrance Into Eden because no child with human blood may enter Eden, even though Gilmos is a demigod. Anu offers to speak with Enlil, the god of chaos, about Gilmos marrying Enlil’s daughter Inu so that his “god blood” can be restored since two demigods can make a full-blood god. The price to be paid for this to happen Is that Ninsun must give up her Immortality. She agrees to do so. On the seventh birthday of Gilmos, his father, King Lugalbanda dies in a battle. Three years later, his mother, Ninsun, also dies. Arwen, the youngest of the fay (fairies) and a treasured gift Anu gave to Urus, would be sent by Anu and Urus to care for Gilmos.

On his eighteenth birthday, when Gilmos Is crowned king of Babylon, Anu and Enlil with Enlil’s daughter Inu, the enchantress, come to him to keep the promise that Gilmos would become a god by marrying Inu. Gilmos spurns Inu, who becomes Indignant and seeks revenge on Gilmos. Seven years later, after Inu has bargained with Nergal, the god of the underworld, Nergal, and Anu’s brother, Marduk, god of warfare, who will help her get revenge on Gilmos.
