The Osiris Experiment: Part I by Kelvin Dyer

About The Osiris Experiment: Part I by Kelvin Dyer

The planet Osiris: A terraforming project that the Earth forgot.

But now, while the Earth itself is almost forgotten, Osiris is still a planet under construction. A paradise for natural scientists, its occupants study the progress of the planet and its limited biosphere from within a rigid social structure, with few outsiders allowed to visit. With all their scientific advances, the people live unnaturally long lives; free from disease, free from war, and from all the other afflictions experienced by humanity through the ages. But something isn’t right…

At research station North Four – a small scientific outpost in the middle of a rain-soaked equatorial jungle – teenagers James and Daniel enjoy an idyllic life outdoors, climbing and swimming with their friends while learning about their young planet. But when a mysterious man is pulled from a nearby river, riddled with bullet-holes, the boys’ fathers – the doctors at the station – are not the only ones trying to find out what happened.

As they find themselves drawn unknowingly into the clutches of a planet-wide conspiracy, the boys find their skills, loyalties and bravery put to the test, in a series of events that leads them across their own planet and beyond.

The Osiris Experiment is an adventure novel set in a future where amazing technology exists, but people are still people. It explores themes of youth, age and memory; family and friendship; and the obsession that visits those who wield too much power.

The ebook is available on Kindle for free on Dec. 26-28, 2021 (normally $2.99)

Love & Genetics: A true story of adoption, surrogacy, and the meaning of family

About Love & Genetics: A true story of adoption, surrogacy, and the meaning of family

When a family secret comes to light, lives are changed forever in this honest, beautiful, and sometimes painful memoir. When Mark, adopted at birth, set out to FIND his genetic family as an adult, he found something he never expected—three full-blood siblings, including a persistent sister who would alter the course of his life. He finds himself faced with the emotional task of coming to know his entire birth family, along with the unintended impact it has on his parents and his marriage. This raises age-old questions around the understanding of his own identity and his place in the world—now framed in extraordinarily real and explicit terms: What defines family? Nature or nurture? Life rarely affords such an opportunity for self-examination.

The story focuses on the relationship that develops between Mark and his sister, Rachel, as they discover each other through constant letters and eventual face-to-face meetings. When Rachel learns that Mark and his wife are struggling with having children, a radical idea takes over—could she, a sister he never knew and still barely knows, one who lives on the other side of the country, possibly carry their child? Would they trust her to? Including original correspondence between Rachel, Mark, and their biological mother, Marilyn, “Love & Genetics” follows the events of a tumultuous year in an astonishing story of love, loss, and the meaning of family.

World War One KILLING FIELDS by Cotter Bass

About World War One KILLING FIELDS by Cotter Bass

This visual narrative of World War One chronicles four explosive years between 1914 and 1918 when guns roared, soldiers and civilians perished, and humankind trembled while holding its collective breath. World War One KILLING FIELDS delivers an explicit overview of World War One. Experience the horrors of war with this chilling narrative of WWI where battlefields having familiar names like Verdun, Somme, Gallipoli, and Flanders witnessed the deaths of millions. World War One (often abbreviated as WWI or WW1), also known as World War I, the First World War, or The Great War, was a global conflict originating in Europe, lasting from July 28, 1914 until the cessation of hostilities commenced at 11 o’clock a.m. (French time), November 11, 1918. Contemporaneously described as “the war to end all wars,” it led to the mobilization of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars and one of the deadliest conflicts in recorded human history. An estimated 9 to 11 million combatants and 6 to 13 million civilians perished as a direct result of the war, while wartime genocides and the 1918 influenza pandemic lead to another 50 to 100 million deaths worldwide.

Much of the fighting took place along the Western Front, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications, separated by the infamous “no man’s land,” stretching south from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. On the Eastern Front, the vast plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and, for the first time, in the air. By the end of the war or soon thereafter, the German Empire, the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist. National borders were redrawn, with nine independent nations restored or created, and Germany’s colonies parceled out among the victors. During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, the Big Four powers (Britain, France, the United States, and Italy) imposed their terms in a series of treaties.

he League of Nations was formed with the aim of preventing repetition of such a devastating conflict. But this effort failed. Economic depression, renewed nationalism, weakened successor states, and feelings of humiliation, particularly in Germany, eventually contributed to the start of the Second World War. World War One KILLING FIELDS by Cotter Bass provides a graphic overview of the battlefield horrors of World War One. Readers are cautioned regarding the graphic nature of the photographs in this narrative.

Winning the Silent Battle Exposing 8 Lies Hindering Your Mental Health

About Winning the Silent Battle Exposing 8 Lies Hindering Your Mental Health

When I turned 18, I hit a major crossroads. I knew
if I didn’t get help, I wouldn’t last much longer. I had
been struggling with perfectionism that was crippling me
to the point of constant anxiety. It led me down a dark
path, one of self-injury ideation and addiction. For years,
I struggled in silence. I told no one.

Reaching out for help wasn’t easy, but it was
crucial to my survival. Slowly, I began to see the light at
the end of the tunnel—and grew closer to God along the
way. I allowed Him to take me on a healing journey that
spanned ten years. When all was said and done, I got
better. I got healthy, and I want to help you do the same.

When I learned more about Him, I discovered His
plan for me and all His children who fight these silent
battles each and every day. He never intended for our
mental illnesses to hold us captive. Rather, he planned
for them to fortify our faith in ourselves–and in Him.

In this book, I expose eight lies your mind will tell
you that keep you from winning your silent battles. I also
provide you with the truth as ammo to help you combat
each of these lies. What I am offering you is not a quick
fix. It’ll take work, but it’ll be worth it. Just remember
that you’re never alone. You have the support of others
facing similar struggles and that of God as your loving
shield. If you’re ready to start winning your silent battle,
take my hand and we’ll go through this journey together.

Ebook is available for 99 cents.

$0.99 for a limited time!

“That’s what always worries me about you two. Killings bring a lot of heat.”

Granite Elephants, Tom Rhyne’s debut work, is an entertaining thriller with a likeable and relatable protagonist, Jury Garrett, a near-50 ex-cop who spends some of his time as a private investigator, but only on cases he likes. Set in Austin, Texas, and Belgium, the story starts with a phone call from a young and beautiful wife, Janelle Kinlaw, whose husband, Walter, an equally young high-tech entrepreneur, has disappeared during a trip to Europe.

Jury’s work on her case soon leads him into conflicts with the U.S. Army, who had funded Walter’s start-up company in Austin, with some criminal types who wanted to collect on a sub rosa loan their New York lending agency had made to him, with the Austin Police Department, and with a highly placed banking official in Brussels. As Jury follows a complex series of rabbit trails to find out “Where’s Walter,” he uses a number of former associates whose specialized knowledge helps him learn why the entrepreneur had gone missing, knowledge that includes applications of artificial intelligence to international currency trading.

Anyone who has spent time in Austin will find this well-crafted, down-to-earth page-turner of very special interest.
