The Link That Could Not Be Broken by C.L. Shaffer

Gavin is a man who has lost his faith in God.

During a periodic meeting with his lifelong friend and religious mentor, Dr. Faulkner Brickley, Gavin confesses that he is no longer a believer. Alarmed that his friend has lost the capacity to see that life can be extraordinary, the professor decides it’s time to reveal a secret. “We can either choose to use our talents or not to use them,” he tells Gavin before dramatically demonstrating to him that God has granted him with an amazing gift.

Meanwhile, Gavin runs into his old flame at a funeral. He brought Elizabeth Kashner into the faith, all those years ago. But in his state of grief following the death of his father, he had told Elizabeth he no longer wanted her in his life. Although their chance meeting stirs up old feelings, nothing much comes of it—until Elizabeth goes on a missionary trip to the Russian republic of Ingushetia.

When Elizabeth ends up being held hostage, Gavin offers to use his newfound talent to win her freedom. In the meantime, Elizabeth’s own plan of escape is to create a bond with one of her captors.  As a result of their adventures, lives are changed—in very surprising ways.

Jaspierre (Jaspierre Trilogy Book 1) by Mixi J Applebottom 

This is a dark, creepy and quirky tale about a smart girl.

Jaspierre, the pharmaceutical billionaire, had a problem. She wasn’t sure if she should kill the man who’s been locked in her basement or let him go. He’s the nicest person she’s ever met. Mother would be so proud if she ended him. Well, he did kill her cat.

But it’s been ten years. Jaspierre can’t seem to let him go- or murder him.

Mother, her teacher, never had any trouble experimenting on animals and people. Why did it make her feel so confused?

The only person who has really loved her just happens to be a serial killer named Chance. He stalks her, and haunts her. That is all she knows of love.

What happens if you are raised to be a killer?  What happens if you don’t want to be one?

What happens when you have no choice?

RATS by Joe Klingler

2015 International Book Awards – Finalist Thriller/Adventure
One man on a decades old mission. A woman who hunts him. And the bullet they share–RATS explodes from the remnants of a war long past to current headlines hiding Washington secrets when two modern-day warriors face off. Both skilled at violence. And deception. Both accustomed to winning.
“Joe Klingler’s novel is an intelligent non-stop page turner.” Manhattan Book Review (5 Star)
Summer greets the land of the midnight sun as a lone rider races across the last American wilderness, delivering on a promise he made long ago. He has many names, but the world only knows a shadow called the Demon.
Claire Ferreti, an Army sniper eager for her first black-ops mission, sips sake in Washington D.C. with her lover, a young, ambitious General whose geosecurity specialty remains classified. When a boy finds a small machine, Claire and the Demon embark on a collision course that leads to a test of skill, a clash of ideologies, and Claire’s unconscious body lying in a typhoon-ravaged jungle. In that instant she becomes the hunted, the Demon’s tool for survival, and an unforeseen threat. As the General pursues them through a labyrinth of lies, and a war-torn jungle, political necessity and financial reality collide like a fireball piercing steel.

“Klingler’s debut offers a deep logistical jungle sure to entertain buffs and newcomers to the techno-thriller genre. Throughout, he displays fierce writing chops. Short chapters balance action and subterfuge with political thought targeted keenly at modern drone warfare.”–Kirkus Reviews (Recommended List)
