Amazon Reviews for Simon Orion’s Cosmic Adventure

5 stars An addictive page turner! By Lindsey
Just like the Harry Potter series, this book is not just for kids. It was so entertaining that I couldn’t put it down and I read it in one sitting. I definitely will recommend it to my family and friends, and anyone I come across looking for some inspiration.,,

5 stars Fun story with a positive message By Beryl Stafford
I really got into this book, and I read it with my young son. He found it exciting and a lot of fun. It really fired off his love of Space (he’s been learning about the solar system in school) and the way the story mixes space adventures with mythology is very inventive and entertaining...

5 stars The Simon Orion adventure is an exhilarating story that will invigorate your imagination. By Eric M
Simon’s adventure is a breath of fresh air, giving me a new excitement for space novels. After reading multiple space related novels, I have noticed that they are difficult to write. Simon was able to take me along on his adventure that is full of twist and turns

5 stars Amazing, action packed and parent recommended

Special Offers (The Coursodon Dimension Book 1) by M.L. Ryan

special offersMeet Hailey – possessed by an otherworldly being who was trapped in her Kindle.

Hailey Parrish is quick-witted, irreverent, and hasn’t had a date in three years. She only wanted an eBook reader because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the “special offers” that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device came pre-loaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension. When she inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined. And soon her predicament introduces her to yet another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland. Can Alex and Hailey find a way to return Sebastian to his own body and stay one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is?

Special Offers, the first book of the Coursodon Dimension Series, combines paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and a healthy dose of quirky humor.

From the Author

It’s true that I would sometimes fall asleep in school history classes. But that was only because I had never imagined howthe lives of the heroes of the past were filled with passion, lust, betrayal and death.

When I found out how little history has dedicated to describing the intriguing and militant Princess Charlotte de Borbon – a real princess who was also a rebellious nun in the 16th century – I decided that I had to correct the injustice.

In the story I wrote, I combined historical facts into a work of fiction. It merged beautifully with past scenes from my personal life: my childhood in Israel and South America, my military service during the Lebanon War, and even earlier periods of my life as a Marrano in Portugal and the Netherlands.

During the writing process, I moved from my home to a small village in the mountains of Jerusalem. There, alone for a magical month, whose nights were filled with cries of jackals and foxes, I wrote in a frenzy this crazy story of the hunt for Gutenberg’s lost bible. Sometimes, the conversations and arguments of Hannah and Mickey carried on into my dreams.

And one day it was finished. The figures returned to live only in the pages of the book. The gunshots were silenced and the skeletons returned to the basement.

Now they belong to you.

A Non-Believer’s Near Death Experience

Free April 3 – 6

Dying to Really Live (NDE Insight Series Book 1) by Duane Smith

near death experienceA Non-Believer’s Near Death Experience

The surprising true story of hope and inspiration about a young Agnostic who, seemingly, had everything. Then, a Stanford Medical doctor diagnosed him with an incurable medical condition, giving him 5 months to live and sending him home to get his affairs in-order. In time, being an agnostic, the young man became use to the idea of death, expecting only oblivion.

However, he was wrong. Instead of oblivion, he was taken to an amazing Afterlife where he learned just how wrong he had been about so much. Later he was returned to this life to tell his story; to tell people that there is nothing to fear in death, in fact it’s quite the opposite. Death is just the beginning of a new adventure either there, here or somewhere else.

This is Book I of the NDE series (near death experience) telling of his death and his original 2 trips to the afterlife. Book II and III relate what he saw, did and learned during the other 4 return trips, as he was prepared to write his story. Book IV, foretells of what we can expect in the coming few decades; the most exciting time in human history as God unfolds the final part of his creation.

Q. So, what makes the Near Death Experience Insight Series special?
A. Perhaps, if anything, it’s because, I was a Non-Believer in anything religious or spiritual, when I died. So, I wasn’t expecting Heaven or Hell, just nothingness. However, when I died, no one waiting for me there, cared what I thought. I was just taken to the Afterlife, as I had no say in the matter.

Q. So, who should read the NDE Insight Series Books?
A. I am not sure anyone “should” read it. However, if a person wants to learn more about their purpose of life on earth, having unanswered questions about life, the Afterlife, and why we’re here, this may be of interest.

Q. Did your near death experience change you in any way?
A. Completely, in almost every way. Before I died, I thought I had this life all figured out. I thought that “He who has the most toys when he dies, wins.” And when I died, I was doing pretty well by that measurement. However, I found I didn’t have anything figured out. In fact, I had almost everything wrong.

Q. I see there are 4 books in the Near Death Experience Series. Are they all about your death and return?
A. No, Book I, “Dying to Really Live” covers my original death and trip to the afterlife, plus being taken back there again a few months later.

Q. If Book I covers all that, what are the other 3 three books in the series about?
A. Book II, “Beyond the Afterlife”, tells of what it was like to be back on earth after being in the afterlife. It also is what I saw, did and learned the other 4 times I was again returned to the Afterlife. Then, in Book III I write of what I was assigned to do between trips to the afterlife, where I was preparing for what I was really sent back to do.

Q. And what, then, was the purpose of your being sent back.
A. I was sent back to tell my story; to tell people that we have it all wrong about life on earth. First, death is just the beginning, not an end. Also, we come to earth for fun, adventure and learning, planning each life long before each incarnation.

Q. And, that leaves the 4th book. What is it about?
A. Book IV, “Living in a New Tomorrow” concerns what to expect in the coming few decades, as the rate of change continues to accelerate in preparation for a new tomorrow, promised long ago.

Q. Can you tell us a little bit about this “New Tomorrow”?
A. Well, in short, it’s been called The Age of Aquarius, The Rapture, Return to the Edenic State, or sometimes, The End of Times. However, whatever you call it, it is the most exciting time in the history of the material world. Many alive have seen its beginnings and will see its fruition.

Q. Is there anything further you would like to say?
A. It will be helpful to remember that, God will never withdraw man’s right to his own free will, which includes the right to be wrong about most of what he believes.

Duane F. SmithDuane F. Smith’s unusual background and life experience provided a unique perspective about the time we chose to be on this planet. Born dyslexic himself, he found his early schooling a challenge. Barely finishing high school, he left to join the Army and had his life changed forever.
.
In the Army’s infinite wisdom, this man who had, himself, struggled in school was assigned to teach in an experimental program designed by the University of Maryland, for the Army. The University had developed a teaching technique that they called Programmed Learning and were experimenting with 350 illiterate draftees who, for whatever reason, had never attended school. The University had designed the program to take these men from grades 1 through grade 12, thereby allowing them to qualify for a high school GED, which was the minimum standard required to serve in the Armed Forces. However, the goal of the program defied any conventional logic at the time. The program was to take these men from the 1st grade to passing a 12th -grade equivalency test . . . in 90 days!

Tiger House: The First Chronicle of Jairus Tanner (The Chronicles of Jairus Tanner Book 1) by Wendy Scott

free ebook today“The Fates have chosen you to act on behalf of our noble Houses. Challenges will be set. To ensure your utter cooperation and commitment, the fate of your loved ones rests on your actions. It is in your interest to survive. Defy us by refusing to play and we will decimate your homelands. To win, the rules are simple: by whatever means, cross the finish line before the designated cull number. But in the end, only one of you will remain.”

Muscular arms protruded out of black studded vests that strained to contain stocky chests. An animal emblem … claws … incisors … whiskers… was sewn in orange upon their breasts. Dagger shafts jutted out of belts, pouches, and boots. Assassins? What did these rough men want with him?

Betrayed. Kidnapped. A farm boy mistaken for a warrior, Jairus must survive the Emperor’s Games or everyone he loves will be incinerated by the war dragons. Thousands compete for the dragon banner, but in the end there can only be one winner.

The adjudicator thumped the scepter into the ground three times. “By the fates, the war dragons will not return until a new emperor wins the dragon scepter.”
The crowd parted as Tekagi threaded her way toward the funeral cart waiting by the main gate. Tiger pelts adorned the two caskets. Only emperors earned the right to be entombed within the Dragon Palace. The sons were relegated to less hallowed ground.
A few of her most treasured belongings were also piled on the cart. No longer an emperor’s daughter she was being cast out of the palace. A limp tiger tail trailed over the side of the cart. She ran the tips of her obsidian finger stalls along its striped length before tucking it beneath a tapestry.

She tapped her fan against the cart’s side and the driver flicked the horses’ reins into a funeral march. Head bowed, she followed a few paces behind, flanked by her two bodyguards. As she exited through the palace gates and headed to Tiger House she patted the snake bracelet on her forearm, and vowed, “I will reclaim my birthright. Let the Emperor Games begin.”

About the Author of the Free eBook Today

free ebook today by Wendy ScottAs a child I had a ferocious imagination and immersed myself in creating stories and poems. One birthday I begged for a chemistry set, sensing the promise of adventure from the glittering vials of copper sulphate and salt. At that time, I didn’t know I was following in the footsteps of my grandfather who had studied science in Edinburgh in 1899. A further trace back into my Scottish ancestry uncovered an ancestor known as ‘the wizard’. So I could dabble with potions too, I gained a NZ Certificate in Science (Chemistry) and worked in a variety of laboratories (salt, meat, dairy and wine) in NZ and Australia. The wine tasted the best!
During my 5 years in Adelaide, Australia, I completed several writing courses at the WEA. When my partner, son (5 months), dog and I moved back to NZ we lived in a house truck for 3 years while our off-the-grid house was planned and built. During this period I wrote on a solar powered laptop and completed many correspondence courses from the AWA.
I write adult fantasy, children’s novels and I’m currently branching into romance.
In 2012 my children’s MS, Hieroglyph was selected for the NZSA MS Assessment Programme and was further selected for one of five mini-mentorships.
My children’s novel, Tails, will be released late 2013.
When I’m not glued to my laptop writing or engrossed in a book, I love walking my dog on the wild West Coast beaches and trolling for sea glass, riding my bike or going for bush walks. I always wished I could fly so maybe that’s why I love roller coasters. I’m a connoisseur of coffee and chocolate and I counter my addictions with Zumba and Spin classes. I believe life is an adventure and we should all live a life less ordinary.

Warrior Spirit by Jean Carroll

warrior spiritIrish­man Blackie O’Brien led a sin­ful and self-destructive life of women, alco­hol and drugs. He was the best, win­ningest, cham­pion steeple­chase jockey in the his­tory of the sport until a near-fatal rac­ing acci­dent ended his career.

But this was no “acci­dent”- his ruth­less ex-agent, Micket Reegan orches­trated the whole thing. It seems that the luck o’ the Irish has deserted Blackie once and for all.

And Blackie is no ordi­nary Irish­man. This lusty young man is the direct descen­dent of Brian Boru, the most influ­en­tial High king of Ire­land. If Ire­land still had a king, Blackie would be it.

Now, Blackie is a man with­out a career and with­out a kingdom.

War­rior Spirit chron­i­cles Blackie’s jour­ney from the green val­leys of Ire­land to the priv­i­leged horse coun­try of Mid­dle­burg, Vir­ginia. As Blackie begins to despair over his future, in enters beau­ti­ful, young Meg, who brings her horses to Blackie’s fam­ily farm where he’s been recu­per­at­ing from the accident.

Their sex­ual chem­istry is immediate.

But Blackie’s fam­ily has other plans for him. They believe he’s dri­ven by the spirit of an ancient Irish war­rior and demand he find a place in Ireland’s polit­i­cal leadership.

From fight­ing off alco­holic temp­ta­tions, thwart­ing an attempted rape of Meg, and stop­ping thugs try­ing to take his life, Blackie leaps over one hur­dle after another. Will Blackie ulti­mately find the future he’s meant to have with the love of a good woman? Does Blackie get a second chance to turn his life around?

About the Author

Jean Carroll author of warrior spiritHello Readers-
I started writing The King of Ireland series in 2008 when I had my second knee replaced. I was immobilized with ice on my knee for hours during the day and was, of course, bored to tears. The “King’ story was something I had played with in my head for maybe twenty-five years. Watching one more TV show, I decided to write it down. I wrote long-hand and quickly filled many yellow legal pads and kept on going. Luckily my sister-in-law was a very good typist, so I enlisted her help.

I made a lot of mistakes at first and along the way learned a great deal about the craft of writing and I’m still learning. I got a mountain of advice and help from agents, editors, contest judges, critique groups and friends. I found quickly that their was something called “word count” and it was frowned upon to have too much of it. So I had to pare my 300K word novel down to where somebody might look at it. Hence I now have a three book, one prequel novella series and might add more if my readers get invested in my characters.
I love my characters by the way and feel very close to them. I got highly insulted when a family member said Blackie just wasn’t her cup of tea!

I have a passion for horses just like my characters and have since I was a little girl and saw my first horse. Our property backed up to the Garrison Forest School for Girls in Maryland and they rode their horses through our woods.

I started riding when I was about eight years old and rode consistently until in my thirties and was lucky enough to have my own horse and pony for ten years. I did a lot of showing and did mostly jumping. Later I discovered dressage and became fascinated with it just like the main characters in my book.

I retired in 2010 and briefly before that I started riding again and it was glorious to on a horse once more. I’m retired from Johns Hopkins University where I worked for 27 years as an Electron Microscopist. I still work there part-time. The best thing is now I get to write full time and feel very blessed to be able to do so.

seed moneyThis novel by Cyndie Shaffstall wraps science fiction around the mystery of a near-future conspiracy.

Engineers, inventors, and business people alike scrambled to develop a solution before the world’s population was completely wiped out by an irradiated atmosphere, but the chosen solution became a temporary fix at best. By 2062, we are burdened by the weight of unchecked population growth and global warming has reduced our inhabitable space by half.

With our workplace frustratingly neutered by the Genderless Act, we came to embrace sex in trystrooms—where anything goes—and it’s all kept secret by the Privacy Act. Combined concern for humankind and the planet drives innovation, and businesses thrive in an environment where unemployment and poverty have been eliminated. The Government Reorganization and Realignment Effort enables one group of brilliant young designers to reclaim some of the ever-shrinking space—but bringing it to market exposes manipulation and corruption on a devastating, worldwide scale.

The Finnish Girl by Dennis Frahmann

free fictionSecrets kill. Not just those you choose to keep from others, or even those that others guard from you. There remains those secrets that you so desparately hide from yourself. They all catch up with Lempi Makinen Lahti.

When Lempi’s teenage son Danny discovers her suicide, he seeks to solve the mysteries that defined her life and death. A pack of letters and clippings hidden in an old family trunk may be the only keys to understanding both his mother’s past and his own future.

“The Finnish Girl” is a richly told tapestry of interwoven characters—the family patriarch who emigrates from Finland to the United States to create his own future, a son who turns his back on his home as part of an ill-fated mission to Russia during the Depression, the elderly mother who faces deportation in an America driven by fear during the Red Scare, and the young Finnish girl who cares too much about the injustices she sees.

Decisions in one generation propel another on unexpected paths, until one family’s hopes for the American dream threaten to become its nightmare.

“Melancholic, brooding, and cut-to-the-bone incisive, this is a tale to remember.” – Publishers Weekly
