With Dangerous Aim
Price range: $3.99 through $22.99The Alexander Hamilton Foundation in Washington, D.C. needs someone to escort a Chinese defector from Shanghai, China to America. The defector has vital top-secret security information for America. Lieutenant Commander Pilar Marshall volunteers for this clandestine assignment. At the final pickup point off the coast of Shanghai, a submarine is to collect the defector. Suspense builds as they move through the city to the marina, followed by an unknown watcher. As they are ready to cast off from the dock, the watcher appears with a gun. They scuffle with the watcher who is knocked down. He fired one shot, which hit a member of her team. They escape to the pickup point. To avoid being caught by the Chinese patrol boat, they hide in the coastal fog. Little do they know, there is no submarine to pick them up. A zodiac picks up the group to a waiting U.S. destroyer. One member of the group is a Chinese sleeper spy. The spy accompanies the team to America. In a tense scene, the sleeper spy locates the defector. With dangerous aim, does the assassin accomplish her task?

Pure Luck
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99What would you do for buried treasure?
Best friends Randy and Jennifer are confronted with that very question in Pure Luck. It all began with the metal detector they received for their twelfth birthdays. The two old coins they find on the beach lead them on a fantastical treasure hunt ending in a treacherous cave at the edge of the ocean. They enlist the help of a trusted teacher to retrieve the chest they find there. Assailed by rising tides, a storm that floods the cave, and an injury leaving their trusted teacher with amnesia, the two best friends soon find themselves in a pickle trying to juggle all their secrets. It was Pure Luck that they found the treasure chest, but now Jennifer and Randy are asking themselves was that good luck or bad? -
A Chronicle of the Roman Twilight: A Novel
Price range: $3.99 through $33.99The story begins in A.D. 364 when the author of this memoir, Marcus Cedranus, is born into a middle class landowner’s family in western Britain. While his material prospects are promising, his deteriorating relationship with his parents causes him to leave home for the continent. In Gaul he becomes a teamster for a freight hauling company, meets an older woman who will eventually play a major role in his life and is drafted into the Roman army in 382.
He is assigned to Legion XXII in Mainz and in 383 is temporarily transferred to Belgrade on the Danube. A revolt in the west makes this transfer permanent. He participates in several military campaigns and takes part in a triumph in Constantinople in 386. In 388 his regiment takes part in the eastern offensive against the revolt in the west that has by now spread to Italy. With the revolt suppressed, he is assigned to a new imperial guard regiment for the restored western emperor, Valentinian II. During another transfer to the east Marcus suffers a terrible personal tragedy from which it is impossible to recover. Another civil war breaks out in the west and is suppressed with terrible casualties.
Marcus is appointed tribune and made a member of the personal staff of Stilicho, the new generalissimo of the west. Further military adventures take place in Greece, Britain and Italy. A massive barbarian invasion of the west on December 31, 406 triggers political instability leading to revolts in both Britain and Italy. This inevitably leads to the sack of Rome by Alaric and his Visigoths in 410.

The Church in the Last Days
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99Above all, the writer believes that The Church in the Last Days addresses the main sources of doctrinal confusion, clearing the air and exposing the contradictions to which many Christians still cling regarding crucial end time prophecies. First, the writer has received direct revelation from God’s Spirit which has led to the solution of these problems. Second, he has also compared many other salient scriptures which have apparently been ignored, thereby clarifying pertinent contextual details regarding the relative timing of end times events. Also, this book is a “primer for victory” for all those who believe the truth of the complete Gospel of Christ. One cannot miss the fact that the New Testament is full of glowing examples of what believers can do just by taking Jesus’s Word at face value. Solomon wrote that “the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Not only that, the writer believes that the New Covenant aptly sketched out simply in ”the Lord’s Prayer,” is a manifesto for a spiritual revolution that we can implement today and finally, in these “last days,” bring about a worldwide revival and the fulfillment of the great commission.

A Trip to the Moon
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99A Trip to the Moon is the story of the Apollo 11 moon mission described through an interesting story of animals. In the story, a rabbit, a crow and a fish, with a wise old owl travel to the Moon and learn all the scientific facts about the moon through their exciting fun-filled adventures. From my experience as a mother and teacher, I found most children avoid reading pure science books on their own because they appear monotonous to them. Children love stories. So, I have combined science with an interesting story of the animals so that the children will enjoy reading the story and simultaneously learn science.

On the Way
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99When William (Dub) Brooks and George Sayre first met, they soon realized they shared a mutual love for Ireland’s northwest coast. One had a passion for writing verse. The other had a love of photography. They decided to spend a month together in Ireland viewing with their separate lenses and combining their views in this book. There were four driving mechanisms.
Most of us dream of taking a “time out” to go on a journey. Virgil and Dante come to mind.
The two authors have a yearning to see Ireland again but in a differing light. It would cover thirty-three days of grand effort and joyous exploration.
That prism being also enhanced by the frame of raw winter. Who knew a Nor’easter would blow through the island and captivate and intrigue the people in the grip of HY’s unique brand of cold? It certainly added flavor and character to the sojourn.
The basis of our journey was threefold.
One was to capture the powerful hues and chromas of Ireland. No other land hosts such verdancy.
The second was to trace the various and sundry foot paths of W. B. Yates, writer after the Irish manner, romantic and modernist, dramatist, poet, and passionate believer who proclaimed Ireland’s wondrous brand of seeing and expression.
Dromahair (Lough Gill), Drumcliff, and Sligo being our northwestern home base.
Lastly we wanted to follow and appreciate the establishments and creative works of St. Cohlumncille, artist and author of Celtic Christian communities and hand-drawn books from the sixth century CE.
We hope that our journey inspires your own freeing journey of the heart that allows each of us to realize and to expand our inner horizons and to liberate our souls’ deep desire to see. -

Poetry for the Soul: Plus Satire
Price range: $11.99 through $18.99God’s spirit can fill our very soul;
We are restored, and love reigns whole.
God blesses freedom and allows you to choose,
But those who steal freedom are destined to lose.
Bad thoughts from the past can be banished at last. Then your heart is set free to be all you can be.
What you think is what you feel.
Emotions are but mirrors real.
The Lord will protect better than ever we can,
For even in the worst of times, He can perfect His plan.
What sets this collection apart is McPhee’s versatility as a poet. Each poem is a testimony to her ability to seamlessly transition between introspective messages and razor-sharp wit….Yet beneath the humor lies a deep sense of compassion and understanding, reminding us that laughter can be a powerful tool for introspection and growth.

Heart Journey
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99Dr. Joe Travis is a brilliant young surgeon as skilled with a scalpel as he is compassionate with his patients. His single-minded devotion to his work places him far above the rest. Throughout a troubled childhood and into abandoned years as a teenager, he struggled to maintain a belief in a caring power greater than himself. But by the time he reached adulthood, circumstances had merely strengthened his doubts in a loving God, until a woman of faith and conviction transformed his misgivings into a love and assurance he never dreamed existed. However, the young doctor is severely tested through a tragic succession of personal losses. His newfound faith is destroyed, his confidence replaced with a dark sense of foreboding, and his compassion and optimism exchanged for angry indifference and doubt. Yet through all of his trials stands Callie Jordan, whose unconditional and undisclosed love for Joe knows no boundaries. While she struggles to restore his angry and disillusioned spirit, she also touches his heart until an ironic twist of fate threatens to shatter their promising future. Will Callie have enough courage to hold on until Joe reaches the end of his heart’s journey?
