Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez

Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezIt’s been three long years since Deadbreak. That’s what everyone’s calling it – the day the dead rose. Every day since then Jeremiah Reid has had one goal: to make his way back to his daughter. With his four-legged companion, Joe, Jeremiah has to travel a lawless wasteland teeming with zombies, bandits, and worse, like people who put anchovies on pizza (you know who you are).
It’s a new world out there and no one is safe. People are weary, cities are in ruin, supplies are scarce, and brains are on the menu. If he’s going to have a chance, he’ll need his wits, a little bit of luck, and lots of ammo.

Amazon reviews for Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez

5 stars Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezOk, so I read ALOT. And while waiting for my very long list of followed authors to pop out my next fix I read suggested material and some features that pop up on here. Some are hit and miss, some I stop 3 chapters in and wonder if it’s cliff notes version of a real story. However I found this little gem yesterday and it is THE best thing I’ve read in a few weeks. Gritty, funny, great characters, zombies, bad guys and more guns and one-liners than you can shake a rotten limb at. I Highly suggest Deadbreak by Jorge Sanchez.

One of the best zombie books I’ve read in a long time.
I’ve loved the zombie genre for a long time, but, for me, they have to be about the people, rather than the zombies as the #1 focus. These are disaster stories, and how the people get through them. This had everything I want in a zombie book: great characters, good dialogue, a story that progresses. Too often they break down to kill zombie, blood everywhere, on to next fight. This has characters who remind me of what one of the best, Mark Tufo, does.

5 stars Deadbreak by Jorge SanchezSure it is a post-zombie apocalypse, but does that mean one can’t find a witty main character with a loyal dog making their way across the country like a couple of pinball trouble magnets on a quest? Well worth the read.

“This is the greatest book ever written in the history of books. And writing. A billion stars.” – Author’s Mom.

“Will you please stop pestering me? Fine, I’ll write you a review. Two stars, because someone forgot to load the dishwasher again.” – Author’s Wife.

The Obscured Journey: Rise from the Fog of Uncertainty by Jerald Albritton

The Obscured Journey: Rise from the Fog of Uncertainty by Jerald AlbrittonThe human condition is one riddled with complexities about the path we yearn for, who we are and what we believe.

We have become so dogmatic in our own beliefs that when they don’t come to fruition or we find them to be a hoax, our journey can come crashing down with doubt, fear, and uncertainty. Many individuals think they know why they are doing what they do, where they will end up, or who they wish to be in 3 to 7 years until a catastrophic event called life occurs.

Download The Obscured Journey: Rise from the Fog of Uncertainty while it’s free today on Amazon.

We dream to live adventurously but the fear of change confines us to only existing, which is to survive in the fog of society thus creating a disoriented/invisible sensation. The unknown causes our thoughts to imprison us as we ponder if we will ever be content or if we will forever be in debt paying bills. We work hard to be accepted instead of acknowledged. We wonder about our next occupation or what comes after retirement. We worry about things we can’t control then suffer from anxiety. Our breath is limited by our determination and imagination yet those things we can take hold of.

We exclaim at times to be lost, but to be lost is to know where X marks the spot yet unclear on how to get there. So the question is:

What’s the Journey Toward X?

This book is meant to help you not only choose your path but how to choose it wisely and magnanimously. Download The Obscured Journey: Rise from the Fog of Uncertainty today.

Lessons For Recovery – Free Today on Amazon

Meditations for the 1st 30 Days: How not to become roadkill on the highway to recovery by Ken Montrose

Lessons For RecoveryMany meditation books lift us above the din of our daily existence. This isn’t one of them. Topics covered include learning from people you don’t like, squeezing the joy out of life, not judging people by their appearances, finding peace in noisy places, and never picking up the first drink or drug, no matter what. All thirty lessons have a page for writing a daily inventory and a gratitude list.

Foreword
From the first day of my recovery, I felt caught in the middle. On one side sat the twelve-step traditionalists. Whenever I spoke they told me to “sit down, shut up, take the cotton out of ‘yer ears and put it in your mouth!” Should I need an opinion, they promised to supply one.

On the other side floated people who saw angels everywhere. They explained all experiences in metaphysical terms. They hated the notion that anything might be coincidental and not preordained by the Almighty. Having a summer cold was part of God’s grand plan to help me survive the garbage collectors’ strike.
Between these two extremes, I trudged my own road from alcoholism to sobriety. Along the way, I met many people walking a similar path. We held and expressed opinions. Our relationships with God tended to be deep but informal. We were the kind of heretics who believed in coincidences. I have added my own thoughts to their wisdom. With luck the combination will help you find comfort as you take the middle road.

Introduction
This is the first part of Meditations from the Medial Strip. The lessons were written with the first 30 days of recovery in mind. Scattered throughout the daily readings are six crucial messages:
?Don’t pick up the first drink or other drug, no matter what.
?Listen with an open mind.
?Practice rigorous honesty with yourself and others
?Go to any length to stay clean and sober.
?Take stock of your recovery, and stay focused.
?Keep coming back.

Each lesson has a section for your thoughts. There is also a section for taking stock each day. This section asks you to check a box indicating you awoke clean and sober, and another box indicating you went to bed clean and sober. These boxes are the most important part of your recovery. All recovery begins with complete abstinence from alcohol and other drugs.

Each lesson has a space for a gratitude list. Writing a gratitude list helps us see what is good about our situation, and what we can do to improve the future. Sometimes we need to list what could have been worse had we kept drinking and drugging.

Our daily inventories help us remember to squeeze the most out of each day. When you complete this section ask yourself several questions:
1. What did I do today to clear the wreckage of the past?
2. What did I do today to stay clean and sober?
3. What did I do today to strengthen my recovery for the future?

The more effort and thought you put into each lesson, the more you will get from this workbook.

Phoenix: QUEEN’S AVATAR: BOOK 1 by T.S. AlexanderThey went to the stars in search of Earth-like planets. They found life. They had the perfect First Contact. They were even planning the first extra-solar colony. But do they really understand the world they came to conquer?

Don’t forget to leave a review for Phoenix, it’s a great way to help an indie author.

Two worlds are about to collide. And what seems to be strangely familiar may not be familiar at all.

Peter Jeffries is no action hero. He’s just a regular guy, to the extent astronauts can be considered regular guys. A hyperspace expert who accidentally joined the landing team, recommended by an obscure academic qualification.

Phoenix is free today on Amazon.

Liz Hamilton is a firebrand, a starry-eyed idealist. She’s prepared to make friends and fight for them tooth and claw, damn the consequences.

Beyond her unassuming looks, Ellandra Sen’Dorien is the ultimate powerhouse. She has guarded the Haillar Dominion since the dawn of time.

Together, two humans and an alien queen must turn the tables against an ancient, implacable foe. And in doing so, they will all end up reinventing themselves.  

About the author of Phoenix, T.S. Alexander:

Phoenix: QUEEN’S AVATAR: BOOK 1 by T.S. AlexanderI was born a few years after man’s first landing on the Moon and I always believed more is to follow. After 45 years, I still believe it. The Haillar world is dedicated to all those who never ceased to dream that space exploration is possible, that mankind can find new homes among the stars …

For more than 35 years I’ve read Sci-Fi and Fantasy, two or three books per week. At least five thousand books at a rough count. I’ve read each possible genre. Some were good books, some were brilliant books. Eventually, I decided to give it a try, to start writing myself and hopefully, my books will bring joy to other fiction fans, the way worlds imagined by others enchanted my life.

PHOENIX is a debut novel, It is part of the planned QUEEN’S AVATAR a trilogy introducing the Haillar Universe, a world of mystery and tradition, of honour and sacrifice.

I want you to discover the Haillar worlds step by step, together with Endeavour’s human crew. PHOENIX is the First Contact part of the story, introducing the main character and the Haillar Universe. The historical background and Haillar society will continue to be substantiated in its two sequels.

Starting from the first book, Phoenix, I tried to create a complex and rich alien society, with its own customs and rituals, sometimes familiar, sometimes alien and puzzling. Every chapter in the first and second volumes we learn something new about the Haillar, be it through their own eyes or from human perspective.

The same applies to the main characters, be they alien or human. Though built in detail from the first pages, none of the main protagonists is fully defined. Every episode readers, and indeed the characters themselves, discover new aspects of their personality.

It is hard for me to stick a subcategory label on the QUEEN’S AVATAR: Space Opera, Fantasy, Romance, Military SciFi. It has elements of each of them, as the action unfolds at various levels. Phoenix is not a Hard SciFi either, though I was always tried to maintain the plot and scientific premises credible within the norms of the genre.

I hope you will love this series and follow it to the very end. I intend to post periodically updates in a video form, as 2-5 min clips both on YouTube and on Amazon. I believe them to be easier to follow than lengthy narratives posts.
