The Alex Cave Series : James M. Corkill
The Alex Cave Series – Books 1,2,3
Oil supplies begin to mysteriously vanish without a trace and society starts to crumble, and the only clue is a dollar size crystal found in the hold of an empty oil tanker. An ancient alien artifact causes devastating earthquakes and begins freezing the oceans. The Yellowstone Super Volcano is about to erupt! The action is non-stop these three science fiction techno-thrillers by this award winning author.
It all started when his wife was murdered during a mission, and Alex Cave quit the CIA for a less stressful life as a geophysics instructor at a small college town in Montana. At least, that was his plan.
DEAD ENERGY. While on vacation sailing the waters of Puget Sound, Alex sees a brilliant flash of light from an oil tanker and changes course to help.
He discovers there was no explosion, no one on board, and the oil has mysteriously vanished without a trace. The bodies of the missing crew are found a hundred miles away in the snow on Mount Baker, but there are no footprints leading in or out of the area. Alex’s only clue is the blue crystal, which under a high-powered microscope, appears to be alive.
The shortage of fuel causes mass panic, and Harold Wooley, a sniveling coward with a domineering wife, thinks he can save his family from a world-gone-mad by joining a radical civilian army, but as the group undergoes a drastic change in command, things get out of control when their new leader kills without compunction.
Harold must dig deep inside his soul if he is to discover the courage to save his family from their living nightmare.
COLD ENERGY. Another race of humans once lived here on earth, leaving behind powerful technology that could cause our extinction!
Sudden freezing temperatures cause weather patterns to change for the worse and threaten a catastrophe that will affect the entire world. Alex leads a small band of volunteers on the high-tech research vessel named the Mystic in a desperate attempt to remedy the situation before civilization faces ecological disaster, but members of the group have their own agenda, seeking wealth and fame through murder and seduction.
Captain John Dieter’s greed blinds him to the suffering caused by the disastrous weather conditions, and he enlists the help of modern day pirates to capture the Mystic and take it to an unknown island in the Bering Sea, the supposed location of a vast horde of stolen treasure.
Alex begins a desperate race to find the Mystic, the only ship capable of finding a solution. If he fails, life as we know it will be gone forever.
RED ENERGY. The Yellowstone Super Volcano is about to erupt, but going back in time to stop it won’t work if Alex can’t remember what to do,
Alex discovers a piece of alien technology on one of the Aleutian Islands, but before he can take it to a safe location, it is stolen and taken to COBRA, a private top-secret research facility south of Yellowstone National Park.
The scientists have no idea what they’re dealing with, and when Alex’s loved ones and everyone earth are put in grave danger, he begins a desperate race to save them. If he fails, every living thing on the planet will die a slow and painful death.

Day Zero: Creedmoor
My name is John.
I was a Marine Corps sniper once. Now it’s a bit harder to know what I am. A series of shadowy events beyond my control have left me as something less than human… or, maybe, something more.
The head of Roanoke & Raleigh had spent considerable resources to hunt us down at the museum. Holding some of my people hostage, injecting another with a capsule-sized bomb set to detonate in forty-eight hours, and teaming me up with a woman from my past I had thought long dead, the Man in the Black Suit did all he could to secure my cooperation to go out on one more mission.
Can we all work together to find and exfiltrate this new human target from the dozens of buildings and hundreds of acres of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Institution—a crumbling mental hospital complex? Can I get the Man in the Black Suit’s prize back before I lose the people I care for? Or will I lose everything I hold dear in the process… including myself?

Thoughts of Life and Time : Wyne Ince
Thoughts of Life and Time: Strategies for Living a Complete Life (Volume 1)
One Saturday in early May of 2014, it happened. I got up that morning and decided to relax by taking my familiar leisurely drive to reflect on life. However, God had other plans for that day, for as I walked into my bathroom, my walking was called to pause by a soft, breeze-like whisper in my ear. It said, “Start to write.” I held my position and slightly turned as if to hear more, but that was all I heard.
That occasion was the second of the two times I have audibly heard God’s voice. Those three words came as an energizing guidance and this book is the result of that divine prompt. The process was not initiated because I had made a conscious decision to write this book, but because I was supernaturally nudged to do so. I feel blessed to provide this information because I believe that ignorance is dangerous.
As the Bible says, “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” This does not question one’s intelligence but extends an invitation to share what Jesus Christ wants to impart to us.

Tatami Days : Michael Guest
Tatami Days: Getting a Life in Japan
Japan for the existentialist reader. The story of how an Australian Samuel Beckett scholar and arts writer goes to Japan on spec and returns fifteen years later with a life and an alley cat. An intellectual leap ahead of most books on culture and the foreigner’s life in Japan. In this original take on the creative non-fiction genre, witty and elegant stylist Michael Guest “saunters” after the elusive spirit of Japan, discovering himself along the way.
Advance praise:
“Rarely is a reader granted such enlightened insights into the people and culture of Japan. Guest navigates the unfamiliar society and pervasive employment hierarchy to obtain a place at a national university and, eventually, a professorship. Guest’s intellectual disciplines of language and semiotics serve him well. Engaging and amusing vignettes of his interactions illustrate the character of the people brilliantly. Entrancing pictures of scenery, historic places and city life are superbly executed, complete with underlying context.
“A very human account of a stranger in a strange land, Tatami Days is a series of adventures coming to grips with Japanese people and their culture. From sake etiquette, funereal chop stick offences, temple practices, pachinko halls, and wonderful foods to Noh versions of Shakespeare and countering over-persistent editing supplicants, Guest takes us right into the Japanese psyche. Social mores, conventions, historical background and the underlying meanings of simple actions are explored and reflected.
“An honest, sensitive and insightful observer, we are with the author for every faux pas humorous or otherwise, that anyone might make, stepping into the unknown, discovering tools for understanding and connection. For the author it is also a journey of self-discovery, enforced by isolation and the consciousness of being forever discerned as an outsider. Intriguing from the outset. For anyone fascinated with Japan and its people, or contemplating spending time in the country, this book will prove an indispensable gem.” — Brian Armour, Author of Future Crime (2013) and The Eagle and the Dodo (forthcoming)
Advance praise:
“I had a delightful time revisiting places I have read about in the great popularizer of Japan, Lafcadio Hearn’s, works in this text. No reader who truly loves Japanese culture will find any false notes here. The narrative pace and flow reflect subtleties reminiscent of a film director like Yasujirō Ozu, and Michael Guest draws his tight literary portraits from his experiences living and tertiary teaching in Japan for fifteen years.
“I was enchanted to learn the micro-details of a culture of micro-details. Many of these are so minute that most writers rarely describe them as fully. You become steeped in this memoir the way tea is brewed. Best not to read Tatami Days in too much of a rush, but savour the sights, sounds, and tastes as they appear.” — Gloria Lee McMillan, PhD, Lecturer, Department of English, University of Arizona. Editor of Children of Steel (forthcoming)

Tanya’s Heat : Endina L Ash
Tanya’s Heat
Tanya’s HEAT is the first in a planned series of African American erotic short stories and novels about women who desire a deeper level of sexual satisfaction. These women have no hesitation in their pursuit of a deeper level of sexual satisfaction. Some are on a journey to satisfy their sexual curiosity while others seek to push themselves past their current sexual limits. Their backgrounds may be different, as well as their methods, but they are all committed to the same goal; uninhibited sexual pleasure.
These stories range from the raw to the sophisticated with Tanya’s HEAT definitely falling in the raw category.
Tanya is a strong woman who got out of the “hood” but maintains her street sense and swagger. She wants more out of life and to her, that means more out of sex.
She’s grown tired of wasting away in a boring relationship with Scott; an uptight advertising executive whose own inhibitions leave him clueless when it comes to pleasing her in the bedroom. Out of frustration, she creates a personal sex bucket list that she believes will help her fulfill her deepest desires. To complete this list, Tanya knows that she will need a partner who is as willing as she is, which means cutting Scott out of the picture.
During a break in her relationship with Scott, she meets the handsome Jordan who seems more than capable of handling her list and her as well. Tanya makes it clear from the start that their relationship is casual but during, their first evening together, Jordan ignites a sexual fire in Tanya that turns her world upside down. She learns quickly that he is a highly skilled lover that gives her more than she could have imagined before she even gets to her list.
She shares the details of her new casual relationship with her sister Vonny who is a sexual freak with knowledge and appetites that exceed her own. Vonny offers her advice on how best to handle Jordan and more importantly, how to keep him. This proves difficult for Tanya with Scott still in the picture and things become even more complicated when she encounters Jordan’s “new friend” Whitney who has her own plans for Jordan. This makes Tanya jealous and she is forced to confront her true feelings about Jordan or risk losing him setting up an explosive confrontation with both Scott and Whitney.
A long talk with Vonny, a trip to the Caribbean, and the revelation of a long-kept secret help Tanya realize what she truly wants and how she’s going to get it.
