Counselor

A Modern American Novel

By: Michael Hession

Ultimately, choosing whether to sit or get off the pot is the most difficult decision to make. That is, in sum, the conundrum that Dan Brown, the central protagonist of Counselor, is forced to confront, both literally and figuratively. As the story begins, Dan, a young New York attorney, sits on the toilet in his office’s sterile bathroom, only to be suddenly confronted and belittled by burly Mr. Tubman -- his brutal, antagonistic boss -- in this most private of locales. The plot unravels as this character continues to sit on the toilet after the rebuke, alone and contemplating the choices he has made. We get to know him and his story, complete with tumultuous love affairs, devastating heart break, drug addiction, betrayal and family destruction. Set partially in Manhattan and partially in fictitious suburb Garden Hills, New York, Counselor offers a gritty insight into modern day disillusionment, filled to the brim with compelling characters, edgy metaphors and vivid imagery

Oh Ye Mighty

The Two Churches

By: Shane Michael Jones

Thomas Belson’s name has grown heavy with glory and honor. By his leadership, the nations of Thyro weathered Emperor Thaniel’s dread conquest. By his holy vows, humanity finally deadened the sorcerous shriek of the Old Religion. He walked through the World Below to arm the righteous with knowledge against it. Those who count themselves allies of goodness and grace owe Constable Thomas Belson the debt of their remembrance. But perhaps there are things worth forgetting too. How Thomas rages against the gods to whom he swore his Constable’s oath. How he laments nothing more than outliving his triumph. How he’s killed enough men to make a hard winter blush and not all of them guilty. Come to think of it, not all of them men either. Perhaps what Belson the Blessed learned in the World Below should stay between him and Hell. It was that secret that made him nail children to pillars as all the allies of goodness and grace averted their righteous gaze. Thomas Belson won his war, but he hasn’t stopped fighting in the decade since. Guilt and paranoia make him see Thaniel in every tin-pot tyrant, apocalypse in every shadow. His increasingly erratic behavior is a growing concern for the governments of Thyro. They’ve heard the rumors. They know he cries out in his sleep. The Matriarch of the New Church calls it a kindness when she absolves him of his oaths. After fifteen years of fighting, he can finally return to his family in The Confederacy to find peace. However, the powers that be have grown complacent in peace. Perhaps they watch apocalypse loom and dismiss it as shadows. Thomas Belson saw something in the World Below that drove him to atrocity, and Hell is nothing if not patient.

Blood Brothers

Among the Soldiers of Ward 57

By: Michael Weisskopf

This "expert piece of journalism by a brave man about brave men" follows three soldiers and a reporter through eighteen months on Ward 57, Walter Reed's amputee wing (The Washington Post) Time magazine's Michael Weisskopf was riding through Baghdad in the back of a U.S. Army Humvee when he heard a metallic thunk. Looking down, he spotted a small object inches from his feet and reached down to take it in his hand. Then everything went black. Weisskopf lost his hand and was sent to Ward 57 at Walter Reed Medical Center, the wing reserved for amputees. There he met soldiers Pete Damon, Luis Rodriguez, and Bobby Isaacs, alongside whom he navigated the bewildering process of recovery and began reconciling life before that day in Baghdad with everything that would follow his release. Blood Brothers is the story of this difficult passage—a story that begins with healthy men heading off to war, and continues through the months in Ward 57 as they prepare for a different life than the one they left. A chronicle of devastation and recovery, this is a deeply affecting portrait of the private aftermath of combat casualties.

Paul James is a man under the spotlight, often for all the wrong reasons. At age twenty-three, many people believe it's now time for the out-of-control Paul to grow up and kick his old party-boy ways which has given him the "ticking time bomb" stigma for so long.

One event will change the life of Paul James forever. With his dreams over and nothing to live for, the one thing that has criticised Paul for so long could turn into the one thing that will give him his big break and last opportunity to fulfill what the close people around him believe to be his destiny.

The Horror Film Killer

By: Michael J Bowler

What would you do if someone acted out —for real— the kill scenes from your student-made horror film? That’s the dilemma facing high school seniors Cassie and Donovan. Best friends, aspiring filmmakers, and hopeful romantic partners, they set out to complete a feature-length horror film as a graduation project for their performing arts high school. Using actors and crew from among their classmates, they aim to finish the bulk of shooting over Spring Break. When several murders occur not far from their locations—each one recreating a specific “kill” scene from their script—they suddenly find themselves embroiled in a real-life horror movie neither of them bargained for. Cassie’s police officer dad and his ex-girlfriend—a homicide detective Cassie once hoped would be her stepmom—allow the film shoot to continue because the killer has threatened to murder Donovan’s mother if they stop. Traps are set and arrests are made, but the killer—who might be a member of the cast or crew—is one step ahead of their every move. Can Cassie and Donovan help the police unmask the psychopath before more people die?

Dragon Isle

By: Keith Michael Mahan

Three dark empires ally as three dark gods merge into one unholy trinity. Concepts concerning life cycles, evolving, revolving into passing seasons, yin and yang, are all immersed into a ballistic journey laden with symbolism. The Christian Crusades were a skirmish in comparison as some deep journeys are inevitably drenched in blood. Dark dragons seize the moment to defy their god given tasks to protect the lower races from genocidal tendencies. Evil dragons were to protect the darker races of ogre, troll, goblin and such, while good dragons protect elf, dwarf, and human. Dragons no longer wish to play their protective roles. Instead, evil dragons intend to captivate and cultivate elves, humans and dwarves like sheep, cattle or pigs. An island sets in the center of the World Sea that provides the perfect rest stop for flying dragons. Rampaging evil denizens dominate the isle, but both an elf and a human empire have naval outposts upon the fringes of the rocky coastline. Between the two military installations sets the finest trading city that elf and man has ever established together. Neither of the two empires intends to let this fair city fall without a bloody rumble.

Fortune Liquors is a small shop in a tough South L.A. neighborhood, a store Bosch has known for years. The murder of John Li, the store's owner, hits Bosch hard, and he promises Li's family that he'll find the killer. The world Bosch steps into next is unknown territory. He brings in a detective from the Asian Gang Unit for help with translation -- not just of languages but also of the cultural norms and expectations that guided Li's life. He uncovers a link to a Hong Kong triad, a lethal and far-reaching crime ring that follows many immigrants to their new lives in the U.S. And instantly his world explodes. The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity. Featuring ebook bonus materials including an in-depth interview with the author about writing "Nine Dragons," photos from his exciting travels while writing the book, and a link to an online promotional video.!--EndFragment--

Justice on Trial

An Exposé

By: John Michael Ferenc

Justice on Trial An Expose By: John Michael Ferenc Justice on Trial tells it like it is. Nothing is hidden from the public or spectators at the trial. There’s been enough killing by police officers faced with various situations and they need to stop overreacting to them. When the police and the courts can overlook their newspaper saying “NOT IDENTIFIED, CHARGED ANYWAY” – it’s time to expose them. Being released from 26 years of imprisonment, I thought going home (to my own home) in Orlando, Florida, would be an enjoyment – Ha! I was in for a big surprise. Jean, my wife, told me as soon as I knocked on the door – Go away – you can’t live here. She would not allow me to enter my own house – and she called the police. The happenings after that would fill another book. Anyway, I went to Tonawanda, New York, and stayed with my daughter, Gerianne. But I was only permitted to stay with her for two weeks – an apartment rule. After that, the Veterans Administration arranged to put me up in a private room on Main Street and Ferry in Buffalo, New York. Between July 4th 2009 and this day, life has been hectic.

Desperate Warrior

Days of War, Days of Peace

By: W. Michael Farmer

Risking all for love and redemption, a reformed killer battles to free his family from the shackles of slavery. In the untamed pages of history, the saga of Pedes-klinje—known to the Mexicans as the relentless Chato—blazes a trail through the blood-soaked annals of the Apache wars. From 1877, his name was etched in the fiery heart of battle—a figure brimming with ferocity, hunger for power, and a disdain for peace with the white invaders. As the trusted lieutenant of the infamous Chircauhua chief Geronimo, Chato's days are painted in the hues of raid and revolt until personal tragedy strikes in 1883 when his wife and children are taken into slavery in Mexico. Betting on General George Crook’s influence to retrieve his kin, Chato strikes a deal to aid the U.S. Army in maintaining peace on the Fort Apache Reservation. But when Geronimo denounces him as a traitor and departs, all hope for Chato’s family flees with him. Forsaken by his former brothers-in-arms, Chato vows to hunt down the renegades himself, becoming a beacon of the Chiricahua peace faction clinging to reservation life in the process. Desperate Warrior is an epic journey of resilience, honor, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Steeped in the rich tapestry of Apache history, Will Rogers Medallion-winning author W. Michael Farmer weaves a riveting portrait of one of the most enigmatic figures in American history, capturing the essence of a warrior's heart and the indomitable spirit of his people.

Exiled to the edge of the world because of her chronic illness, her only joy comes from exploring the long-dead city of Tenebro. Monsters lurk in Tenebro, devious traps seek to sever your connection to reality and then, of course, there’s the Hungry Dark itself, which can strip the flesh from your bones in mere seconds. Melita isn’t bothered by the monsters, she’s good friends with one of the traps and she loves the Hungry Dark because it’s where her light shines brightest. Tenebro is the place Melita goes to leave her symptoms behind. When a mob attacks Melita’s village for harbouring exiles, she flees to the dark with her friend and fellow cave raider Teya. Together, they’ll delve deeper than ever before, chasing a myth which might hold the key to keeping their village safe from rampaging humans once and for all. The creatures of the dark want Melita’s head, but her illness is the real threat, and that’s something she can no-longer run from.

By: Michael B. George

Here is entailed the Parchments of the History before NewRise The Magi of Paragon Tower had a saying. The three greatest assets of a wizard are a tower, a staff, and a pointy hat.

The Killer Angels

A Novel of the Civil War

By: Michael Shaara

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “remarkable” (Ken Burns), “utterly absorbing” (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print “My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.

Dream With Little Angels

By: Michael Hiebert

Michael Hiebert's remarkable debut novel tells the riveting story of a small southern town haunted by tragedy, one brave woman's struggle to put a troubling mystery to rest--and its impact on the sensitive boy who comes of age in the midst of it all. . . Abe Teal wasn't even born when Ruby Mae Vickers went missing twelve years ago. Few people in Alvin, Alabama, talk about the months spent looking for her, or about how Ruby Mae's lifeless body was finally found beneath a willow tree. Even Abe's mom, Leah, Alvin's only detective, has avoided the subject. But now, another girl is missing. Fourteen-year-old Mary Ann Dailey took the bus home from school as usual, then simply vanished. Townsfolk comb the dense forests and swampy creeks to no avail. Days later, Tiffany Michelle Yates disappears. Abe saw her only hours before, holding an ice cream cone and wearing a pink dress. Observant and smart, Abe watches his mother battle small-town bureaucracy and old resentments, desperate to find both girls and quietly frantic for her own children's safety. As the search takes on a terrifying urgency, Abe traverses the shifting ground between innocence and hard-won understanding, eager to know and yet fearing what will be revealed. Dream with Little Angels is by turns lyrical, heartbreaking, and shocking--a brilliantly plotted novel of literary suspense and of the dark shadows, painful secrets, and uncompromising courage in one small town. "One of the best books I've read in a long, long while." --Lisa Jackson, New York Times bestselling author

Changes a Werewolf's Saga

By: Michael Lampman

Every story has a beginning... Every Saga begins with Changes... Do werewolves exist? Jimmy Walls never gave it a thought. Jimmy was a shy, quiet man who thought he had a normal life. When his world turned upside down, everything changed. Taking the job at Ravenswood, he hoped for the best. After an unusual animal out on the prowl mauls several people, he discovers a dark secret happening around him. The secret revolves around the strange man who seems to be living in the building. Again, do werewolves exist? Jimmy is about to find out that some myths are real. A Werewolf's Saga When history began, the human race lived as nothing more than cattle. A great group of creatures known as the Blood Walkers ruled the world. To keep a balance with their human prey, the Walkers and their made kin, gave their cattle a civilization in exchange for flesh and blood. The world was peaceful until a small band of humans with great powers known as the Wanderers emerged from the Walker families. With them, the Walkers strained with living. The human race became restless and soon learned how to fight for their right to live. The world erupted into war, until a new breed of Moonwalker, the Black Wolf, stepped from the chaos. With him came the turning of the tides. With him, the world broke even and a truce was forged. The Walkers won the night and the humans won the day. The Wanderers continued moving through both worlds, and now, in the shadows of the modern world, darkness lingers. A great evil lives and with it, the Black Wolf has returned.
