The Rain Man by James Rada, Jr.

The Rain Man by James Rada, Jr.

The rain began on March 16, 1936, and with it, the rain came pain. Raymond Twigg hates the rain because it gives the Rain Man power. It is a power to bring Raymond to his knees or drive him to deadly action. As the March 1936 rains bring the St. Patrick’s Day Flood, the worst flood ever seen in Cumberland, Maryland, it also unleashes the power of the Rain Man on the citizens of the city. While most of the police force is diverted trying to deal with the flooding in the city and the problems it is causing, Sergeant Jake Fairgrieve is called out to investigate a murder. Murders are unusual in Cumberland, but this one is more unusual than most. The dead man’s head has been crushed on the left side with no apparent weapon and the body is laid out on the street as if it was in a casket. Jake throws himself into tracking this murder with no motive. The search keeps him from having to deal with his own fears about the approaching flood until he comes face to face with the Rain Man. With the Jake trailing him, the Rain Man turns from hunted to hunter. He kidnaps Jake’s girlfriend, Dr. Chris Evans. In order to save Chris, Jake will have to face his own fears and the Rain Man in the flooded streets of Cumberland where the Rain Man is at his most powerful.

RIVER OF MERCY by Susan Clayton-Goldner

RIVER OF MERCY by Susan Clayton-Goldner

Detective Winston Radhauser is called in the middle of the night to Ashland Hospital. Ten days ago, Justin Patterson, a local pediatrician, suffered a devastating brain bleed that left him paralyzed and begging for release.

When Patterson is found dead in his hospital bed, the staff assumes it was a natural death. But the victim’s son, Robbie, accuses his stepmother, Santina, of murder. Everything inside Radhauser believes she’s innocent, but when DNA supports Robbie’s claim, Radhauser is forced to arrest the woman he found lying in her husband’s hospital bed, curled around his dead body.

Phillip Mitchell, world-renowned criminal defense attorney, hears of Santina’s arrest and rushes from Tucson to Oregon. He’s driven by a love that never waned, and a belief there was no way Santina could murder anyone.

National news has the country divided. Was it a mercy killing? Or was it murder? How do we put down our suffering animals with more dignity than our fellow humans? Or is God the only one who decides when life ends?

Against a ticking clock and an unyielding DA, Radhauser and Mitchell race to expose hidden truths that could save Santina from a lethal injection.

UNSHELVED: A Guide to Unlocking Your Story for the World by Calvin McDowall

UNSHELVED: A Guide to Unlocking Your Story for the World by Calvin McDowall

Never judge a book by its cover. Have you got what it takes to let the world see the real you— beyond your cover?
What does your name mean to you? Who do you see when you look in the mirror? What is your true purpose in life?

Your day is probably filled with thoughts about stress and problems, what still has to be finished, and what needs to be done the next day. Rarely do we take the time to ponder on the bigger questions in life!

And in the hustle and bustle of routine and responsibilities, we all seem to blend into one. Like the rat in the race or the sheep that follows the herd, fearing to flap the wings that cause the butterfly effect.

The fact is, you have a magnificent story to share with the world, a story that could touch the hearts of others and have a lasting impact.

The problem is, your story is like a book; bright and shiny when new but then left on the shelf to gather dust. Even when plucked from the shelf, you might not get past dusting off the cover to reach the first page.

There is another issue. You may have committed to exploring your personal story, but, just as after an exhausting day, you find yourself stuck on the same page. You aren’t moving forward, you may even be reading the same page!

Whether you can’t find your way to opening the cover or you are reading the same page over and over again, life is too short not to figure out how to turn the next page!

When the big questions in life hold you back from unlocking your story, it’s time to unshelve that book and revel in the power of your words.

In this eye-opening handbook to self-discovery and empowerment, you will discover:

The unique U.N.S.H.E.L.V.E. acronym that guides you through the principles of unveiling your true self
Why now is the time to act and how not to let fear and procrastination stop you from making small yet significant changes
Questions to embrace self-reflection with honesty and accept the fact that humans are naturally imperfect
7 tips to practice self-love so that it becomes part of your daily life and you can see that you are enough
A 30-day challenge to create goals, script your future life, and make sure you reach your destination
The power of self-belief and your internal attitude for unwavering confidence and a genuinely more positive outlook on life
Why conflicts in relationships shouldn’t be avoided and how to resolve them the healthy way
The importance of continuing your journey by helping others unshelve themselves, providing an empathetic ear as they share their unique stories
Inspiring quotes from people all over the world from all walks of life, past and present
And much more.

You might think nothing is thrilling about your story, but you couldn’t be further from the truth!

Your story deserves development. Your life deserves to be lived to the fullest. Nothing in life is guaranteed, but you have the choice… is your story one of the sheep or one of the butterfly who flaps their wings, changes their direction, and clears the path for others?

Diamond Raiders: Mount Kumgang Mystery by Mae Adams

Diamond Raiders: Mount Kumgang Mystery by Mae Adams

Mount Kumgang was a sacred place for many centuries. In the 7th century, the Silla Kingdom built a captivating Buddhist Temple resembling the House of Three Gods, defined as Heaven, Earth, and the God of Ancestors. Every poet and artist made an extraordinary journey to paint watercolors and write verses. The World War II division of the country in 1945 stopped the South Koreans from visiting these cherished mountains for many years. The 155-mile-long barbed-wire fence erected as part of the Demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas after the War proved to be an obstruction deadlier than any other barrier.

Numerous folk tales, myths, and legends connected to Mount Kumgang delighted people for many generations. But the story in this book is concerned with raiders of diamonds from the Temple during the Japanese occupation of 35 years, where no Korean police existed, and the Japanese police controlled all the crimes in the country. However, it was the natural law that anyone raiding things from a sacred place had to pay the price. How to identify the raiders and what price the raiders had to pay was anyone’s guess. The gentle Koreans seldom engaged in murder, although they could be hot-headed to butt their heads first and shake hands later. Thus, identifying guilty people was extremely difficult.

Colorful photos demonstrate how various vendors display their merchandise. Their way might not work exactly the same for you, but it could generate ideas for other ways to display or market your items.

Now I’m pregnant with his greatest masterpiece.

I offered my body to the highest bidder to save my family’s bakery.

Lords of Apocalypse: Nexus by Randy Dean Noble

About Lords of Apocalypse: Nexus by Randy Dean Noble

The blurb:
A modern-day gunslinger is thrust into the depths of the supernatural.

Could you sit in a chair for an hour and not move, in an abandoned farmhouse with such a horrid past that no one has lived in it for over a century?

That’s just what Boston, a man who needs to know death is not the end, intends to do. Where others have failed, run off screaming, he will prevail, not overreact – nothing will drag him from that chair. But things don’t always go as planned.

Fans of supernatural suspense and high-octane thrills are sure to love the gripping adventure found in Lords of Apocalypse: Nexus

More Info:

This is a fast-paced supernatural thriller that contains strong language and violent scenes.

It’s book one of what will be three books in my Lords of Apocalypse series. Book two is also out, The Quisling. And I’m currently working on book 3 (The Forsaken), which will conclude this series–I’m planning to have that published by October.

I consider the story (and the series) multi-genre, as it’s full of action, mystery, some horror, supernatural, and thriller. The main character is a loner, and due to his past has a hard time trusting anyone. But that’s exactly what he’ll need to do after things go to hell during his initiation night to get into a paranormal investigation group.

Immortal Nox: The Lost City

About Immortal Nox: The Lost City

Five hundred years ago, Immortals nearly destroyed the world of Ashguard, then disappeared without warning.

In the wake of their departure, several hundred thousand were left with abilities beyond those of normal Ashguardians. These people became known as Cursed Ones since they did not age, and their skills could continue to level infinitely.

Xander, the last Cursed One Healer, wasn’t like the others; the departure of the Immortal he followed left a hole in his heart that nothing could fill. Most of the others, blessed with nearly unlimited combat capabilities, began wreaking almost as much havoc on the world as the Immortals did. When Astra Diane unexpectedly respawns, she triggers a fight between the Cursed Ones to get access to her Healer skills. Further, now that the System isn’t preventing Astra and Xander from speaking to each other, what will they do with the information that it was all just a game for the Immortals?

Thus begins a four-book series, LitRPG romance between a woman from Earth and a man she thought was just an NPC.

Can love still bloom even when there’s distrust?
