The Truth is Out There...And It is Coming to Find You.

William Harrison, a former FBI agent injured in the line of duty, knows little more than boredom at present.  Working as a private investigator specializing in extra-marital affairs, he experiences tedium in his line of work from one day to the next, a far cry from the excitement he once knew as an agent.  But all of that changes when he begins receiving postcards from a mysterious informant whose signature is the enigmatic Echo Tango (Get it?...ET).  Through the information received by Echo Tango, Harrison is drawn into an unbelievable reality of decades-long government cover ups and the existence of the Saint Mary Project.  It is a conspiracy of awesome proportions, and Harrison is now designated as the man to stop a project specializing in extraterrestrial contact from getting out of hand as members of the ultra-secret program work to tie up loose ends.  Harrison is sure that he is the right person for this task, but he never would have guessed that it would lead to the discovery of an incredible secret about his own family, which may prove the key to putting a stop to potential disaster.  Can an ex-FBI agent help to uncover the truth behind UFOs?  Found out whether there will be Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project.
    This title is the surprisingly well-crafted and exciting debut novel from author Daniel P. Douglas, a veteran of the armed forces, a long-time civil servant, and traveler with an apparently keen interest in extraterrestrials and their technology.  The book takes Area 51 style conspiracy and places in the present, where the protagonist of Douglas must work with the aid of his colleagues to stop “unimaginable crimes.”  For a first effort in any genre, the work proves impressive.
    Truth Insurrected: The Saint Mary Project will keep any fan of science fiction and conspiracy style fiction turning the pages.  The book is out now, and if you happen to be impressed with Douglas' first novel, then fear not, for other novels are in the works.  For more information about this new release and the author, check out the following website: http://danielpdouglas.com/.

Both Dakota and Logan are determined to make this professional opportunity mutually beneficial, but Logan is taking this second chance at love very seriously, and he has his matchmaking aunt on his side.

Nathan McBride is Back!

A note referencing a secret US operation appears in Nicaragua, and there is only one man suited to the task of making this information compromise disappear.  His name is Nathan McBride, ex-Marine Corps sniper and newly retired CIA operations officer.  McBride is about to be called out of retirement, and, with the aid of his longtime companion Harv, he must journey to the jungles of Central America on a mission to stop a dangerous enemy.  Unfortunately, McBride knows this destination all too well—he nearly did not escape it decades ago, and the experience has left him physically and emotionally scarred.  In order to be successful in his mission, he must first overcome these personal obstacles.  And he also has to survive a showdown with the most effective killer in the region...the one McBride trained himself.  Survival necessitates being Ready to Kill.  The fourth installment of the Nathan McBride thriller series, Ready to Kill, is Andrew Peterson's latest contribution to the action-packed world of military-style thriller fiction.  His oft-described “wildly popular series” follows the life and career of Nathan McBride as he effectively navigates the trickiest and deadliest of scenarios.  If you are a thriller fiction fanatic (then you probably already knew this book was out and had it pre-ordered awhile ago), do not miss Andrew Peteron's Ready to Kill, out now and available from major bookstores everywhere.  For those of you who appreciate thriller style fiction but have yet to read Peterson's best-selling work, it would behoove you to start from the beginning of the series, but Ready to Kill will make an excellent addition to your collection.  For more details, check this out: http://www.andrewpeterson.com/

Nathan McBride, ex-Marine Sniper, Is About to Face His Personal Demons

Being called out of retirement is no laughing matter, but when evidence of a compromise of US top-secret operations appears from over the wall at the embassy in Nicaragua, only the best is suited to the task of making it right. Enter Nathan McBride, former Marine Corps sniper and CIA operations officer. McBride and his long-time companion Harv have a dangerous mission on their hands, but the CIA director knows that McBride is the perfect man for this job. After all, he knows his destination all too well...

...McBride nearly lost his life in this Central American jungle decades prior, and now he must overcome some personal physical and mental obstacles in order to be successful in his mission. Well, that and he must also survive a showdown with the most brutal killer McBride could possibly hope to encounter...

...the killer he trained himself. Nathan McBride must be Ready to Kill.

Andrew Peterson is a well-known best-selling fiction author who specializes in military style (intelligence/operations-oriented) thrillers.

A Truly Unique Exploration of Religion and Wisdom

Could there ever be a way for us as thinking individuals to truly understand the wisdom of God? What truths are effectively conveyed through the espousal of religious principles around the world? Is there something missing? If you have ever thought seriously about the depth and significance of religion and what it means for us as people, then you will not want to miss Hidden Bible Taboos Forbidden by Organized Christianity, a comprehensive and eye-opening look at religion and associated knowledge by Dr. James Slobodzien.

What started as a series of articles written by Dr. Slobodzien over the span of seven years has evolved into a critical and analytical exploration of organized religion, especially with regard to relatively obscure knowledge of interpretive approaches that may very well help the average reader to better comprehend religion itself apart from the forced dogmatic perspectives of religious, social, and political leaders. Now, that might sound complicated, but in fact Dr. Slobodzien presents us with a fairly accessible reading that covers a wide array of subjects and materials. Using religious texts as his guide, he walks the reader through his fascinating investigation of religion and wisdom with care and provides us with insight into various ideas that have seemingly been dormant or disregarded for centuries. Call it a thoughtful collection of insights.

Although the biased reader might be inclined to write this one off as practically conspiratorial at first glance, the book proves very thorough in its analysis and, at times, more scientific than dogmatic. Dr. Slobodzien, a practicing psychologist, has given us a very unique approach to sacred truths and wisdom, while decrying world leaders (specifically religious authority) for their deliberate obfuscation of greatly significant ideas.

 If you are interested in a distinct perspective on religious ideology and practices, then Hidden Bible Taboos Forbidden by Organized Christianity is a must read. The book is out now, so do not miss out on your chance to partake in this truly enlightening exploration of spiritual wisdom and religion's complexities.

‘Twas the Night After Christmas

The holidays are approaching and I have to admit that I love this time of year. I love the feel of it, the look of it and even the smell of it.
So, when I found out that one of my favorite authors, Sabrina Jeffries, has a book coming out on Oct. 30th and it’s a Christmas Regency romance I was so thrilled! It’s like an early gift!
Sabrina Jeffries’ books are always quaint, quirky, fun, sweet, hot and romantic! Yes, all of that!
This story is about the Earl of Devonmont, Pierce Waverly, who is a scoundrel whose parents abandoned him to school and then relatives. He grows up quite the scoundrel, but you feel such pity for him. He loved him mother so dearly, but she never tried to contact him once he was sent away. It really scarred him.
So, when he receives a message saying she is on her death bed and he must come quickly he drops everything to see his mother one last time.
Upon arriving he finds that his mother’s hired companion, a lovely widow, has exaggerated her condition greatly. The well-meaning woman is trying to make peace, but Pierce is bitter about his past.
The widow, Camilla Stuart is as strong willed as she is well-meaning. But the price the Earl would have to give in to her request may be too much.
The story is about redemption, forgiveness and love. It’s a perfect Christmas story and I highly recommend it as a gift! But, you read it first! It’s a keeper! And it’s every bit as magical as mistletoe!
