Hooked on Hollywood

About Hooked on Hollywood

Thanks to a lost key, I’m stuck handcuffed to my childhood crush for the next five days. Did I mention he’s now a really famous actor?

This was not how my night was supposed to go.

My friends dragged me to a charity auction to save the local theater. The theme? Cops and robbers.

The grand prize? A dinner date handcuffed to hometown hero and Hollywood hunk Ryan Jones – the same Ryan Jones that is still decorating my bedroom walls.

I used to have a crush on him.
Used to.

Then he got caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing. Something terrible.

Too bad I didn’t tell my friends – because they decided to surprise me by winning the auction. Now I’m handcuffed to Ryan Jones.

It’s supposed to be a one night thing.

But the key’s gone missing. And the handcuffs? No one can get them off.

So now I’m handcuffed to a handsome man I hate.
Two of us.
One bed.
Zero ways I’ll be letting my guard down.
Not after what I saw that (handsome) man do.

Hooked on Hollywood is a small town, closed door romcom featuring a celebrity crush, a fake relationship, and a delicious slow burn. You’ll get sizzling chemistry, lovable characters, but NO spice. Perfect for those who want a whole lot of sweet and less heat.

The Greatest Knowledge of the Ages, A Treasury by M.G. Hawking

About The Greatest Knowledge of the Ages, A Treasury by M.G. Hawking

Over the ages, a rich treasury of powerful esoteric knowledge has been discovered, yet remains largely unknown to the Western world. Records of this wisdom are like the fragmented relics of a shipwreck; vastly more of the great knowledge of the past has remained hidden than has been revealed.
Drawn from the archived journals and field notes of explorer M.G. Hawking’s five years in exceedingly remote areas of the world, this book explores several of the most captivating of all ancient legends, stories that for thousands of years have fascinated and inspired millions.
Since the dawn of the earliest civilizations on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the mysterious inner region of the Himalayas has inspired countless stories of a hidden sanctuary of great masters possessed of all-encompassing knowledge. Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient and enduring legends, and they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed. Yet, if this mysterious hidden realm still exists, who—or what—lives there? Why do they stay so carefully concealed? What knowledge do they possess? What powers? Where did they come from? If encountered, what would they want us to know?
Journey into a fabled lost realm deep in the Himalayas and far back through the ages to the mysterious civilization of Ancient Egypt to explore answers to these profound questions. Discover knowledge that for long millenniums has remained hidden under the most intense silence. As entertaining as it is richly enlightening, this anthology is an incomparable read for anyone seeking greatly expanded knowledge and personal power. A Kindle Unlimited Book. 2021 Edition Anthology, e-reader page count 304. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

HOPE’S LAST WITNESS by Gil Shabtai

About HOPE’S LAST WITNESS by Gil Shabtai

An African refugee is murdered in Tel Aviv, and the police investigation stalls. His employer, a shy and introspective protagonist, receives the victim’s final message: a letter containing evidence of a possible killer’s identity and mysterious photos. For this protagonist, the simple choice between walking away or seeking justice becomes a profound journey into human nature, morality, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

In this gripping tale of friendship, loss, and betrayal, our reluctant detective encounters complicated police officers, relentless businesspersons, idealistic freedom fighters, and enigmatic figures. As he navigates Tel Aviv’s shadowy underworld, he’s guided by a world-weary private investigator, a captivating policewoman with green eyes, and fragments of his friend’s remarkable journey from war-torn Africa.

Reality blurs as inner voices visit the Narrator’s surrealistic dreams as literary ghosts – such as the spirit of Hamlet’s father debating the futility of vengeance or a ghost who failed to save Lavoisier from the guillotine and attempts to find him in an eternal quest through the Parisian catacombs – each offering words of advice and warning, challenging his views and understanding of justice, morality, and revenge.

The investigation reveals shocking connections between the refugee’s death and crimes committed years ago. What starts as a local murder case expands into an international web of deception, where powerful figures manipulate truths for their own gain.

Through a stream-of-consciousness narrative with the occasional dreamlike sequences, readers experience the protagonist’s transformation from a passive observer to an active seeker of truth. His journey forces him to confront not only external dangers but also his limitations, inhibitions, and fears. Each step deeper into the investigation raises new questions about loyalty, courage, and the price of knowing the truth.

Set against the backdrop of modern Israel and echoing with memories of African conflicts, ‘Hope’s Last Witness’ interweaves a noir murder investigation with an epic refugee tale. The complex relationships between those who flee violence and those who offer shelter are explored through the eyes of a migrant seeking safety.

The novel delves deep into themes of moral ambiguity, questioning whether justice can truly be served in a world where right and wrong often blur. Through its richly drawn characters and intricate plot, the book examines how personal trauma intersects with broader societal issues of immigration, corruption, and the quest for redemption.

This genre-defying thriller takes readers from Tel Aviv’s sun-baked streets to the Sudanese desert, combining elements of psychological suspense with moments of surreal beauty. The narrative weaves together multiple timelines and perspectives, creating a tapestry of interconnected lives and consequences that spans continents and decades.

Gil Shabtai’s debut novel will leave you pondering justice, truth, and the price of uncovering both. Perfect for readers who appreciate complex characters, international intrigue, and stories that challenge conventional moral assumptions, ‘Hope’s Last Witness’ is both a compelling mystery and a profound meditation on human nature and the choices we make in life.

How to Hotwire an Airplane

About How to Hotwire an Airplane

From the bestselling author of Submerged: Life on a Fast Attack Submarine in the Last Days of the Cold War

In the spring of 2001, Hiram Bleeker, a lonely, guilt-wracked Vietnam veteran with severe PTSD, is holding a gun to his mouth. As he is about to pull the trigger, an enchanting woman who does not seem to be of this world introduces him to something that restores his soul—rescuing immigrants in the desert and flying them over the internal checkpoints of the US Border Patrol in southwest Texas. As he flies immigrants in his small plane and saves them from the killing dehydration and heat of the Texas desert, the darkness in his heart begins to fade. But when America is attacked on September 11, it succumbs to fear and hysteria. What was once a simple act of human kindness is now a serious crime against the state, potentially a capital offense. Hiram must woo the love of his life and elude the clutches of the Border Patrol while flying over the desolate and hostile plains of Texas. In this book, you will learn about the healing power of love, redemption through sacrifice, and how to hot-wire an airplane.

Reader reviews:
“Jump into the cockpit of a shaky Cessna 172 and strap in for a gritty, white-knuckle flight with Hiram Bleeker, a Vietnam War veteran pilot, as he navigates treacherous West Texas landscapes and moral predicaments. For years, Hiram has sought to bury his wartime past by flying dog rescue missions in which he encounters shady clients in the most isolated, desert locations in places not big enough to call a town. However, an unexpected encounter pushes him into the dangerous world of smuggling immigrants across the Texas border into the United States and evading high-tech Border Patrol agents. A romantic interlude with a mysterious woman complicates Hiram’s life, as she always seems to be two steps ahead of him.”

“In How to Hot Wire an Airplane, retired Navy submarine Commander and experienced pilot, Henry Rausch has written an aviation political thriller that is not only fast paced, but edgy and believable.”

“The Kind of Book We Need Right Now: Rausch– through poignant, and directed prose, as well as an obvious wealth of knowledge and experience, created a “How to” of many forms with this book. Not only “How to Hotwire an Airplane” but, how to restore empathy within man.”

Five Phantom Discount

About Five Phantom Discount

Frank Phantom is out of prison. That’s everyone else’s problem.

After six years in Drysden Correctional, wizard con man Frank Phantom swore to his parole board that he was done with the grift. That was his last con — because Frank has been planning his next job since the day he got locked up.

His old partner, Clay Bishop, is ready with an easy score, but Frank has his sights set on something bigger: a vault in Manhattan, a priceless magical artifact, and a little payback.

The problem?

That vault belongs to Deacon, their ex-partner — the one who double-crossed them, left Frank to rot, and walked away with everything, including Frank’s ex-wife.

Breaking into Deacon’s vault is a five-man job. Frank and Clay are only two. But what the crew doesn’t know is that they’re not just stealing any old enchanted trinket. There’s something powerful enough in that old black vault to make it worth risking everything for.

The Five Phantom Discount is the first book in the new Phantom and Bishop series by Marcus Fell and Jason Krumbine.
Fans of Jim Butcher and Richard Kadrey will love this fast-talking, magic-wielding heist through an urban fantasy criminal underworld.

Ri-iha-mo, Celestial Mountain Goddess, True Encounters with a Legend of the Himalayas by M.G. Hawking

About Ri-iha-mo, Celestial Mountain Goddess, True Encounters with a Legend of the Himalayas by M.G. Hawking

Journey into the reality of an ancient legend through this unprecedented first-hand account to explore knowledge that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of myth, legend, and secrecy. 5-star reviews: “A beautifully written account … a most highly recommended book.” “Thought provoking and beautiful.” “Insightful … reveals worlds we have long forgotten.”
Throughout Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and the mountain regions of India, there has endured an extraordinary ancient legend of “mountain goddesses” or “celestials” who, having arrived in antediluvian times, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the vast wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range.
Transcribed directly from the archived field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s experiences in a closed and largely unexplored region of the Himalayas, this book contains detailed descriptions of three encounters Hawking and his companions experienced with what they believe were those fabled Himalayan Ri-iha-mo, providing first-hand accounts of the remarkable knowledge they revealed.
Who, or what, are the Ri-iha-mo? The creation stories of ancient civilizations worldwide relate that their progenitors came from the stars, the sky, or the heavens. Native Americans recount that their antecedents were the “Sky People” or “Star Beings.” The builders of Teotihuacan describe their gods as having descended from the heavens. Egyptian texts speak of their “bringers of knowledge” coming from Sahu and Sopdit (Orion and Sirius). The pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung, the Maya, the pre-Incans, the Sumerians, and so many others, all express precisely the same story in diverse symbolic languages—their ancestors came from the stars, bringing advanced knowledge and the gift of civilization. These cultures were greatly separated both geographically and chronologically, yet their creation stories are strikingly similar. What could explain this?
During Hawking’s and his companion’s second and third encounters with the Ri-iha-mo, they disclosed profound revelations about our universe, our planet, and our true nature, revelations that can greatly assist in understanding ourselves, our world, its history, and our role and power in creating precisely the life we desire.
A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in in exploring the realities behind the ubiquitous ancient legends of celestial beings. Thought provoking and richly enlightening, this book will remain in your heart and mind long after the last words have been read. 2022 Edition, e-reader page count 328 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
