Liberty and Means : Kristin Dow
Liberty and Means
Someone is tracking Shannon Clark, altering the course of her life in a most unexpected, thrilling way.
But as the familiar is gradually stripped away, she starts to feel disconnected and doesn’t know who to trust.
Family, friends, dating, work…nothing is the same and everything is complicated.
Will Shannon learn to embrace her new world filled with golden opportunity or get lost amongst its trappings? She now has the chance to follow her dreams. Trouble is, she doesn’t know what they are.
“A thoughtful and engaging character study with the pace of a thriller, including a number of surprising plot twists along the way. Every paragraph is peppered with a fun quip or observation, the signal that you’re in the hands of a strong writer. Recommended for readers well beyond chick lit.” -Self-Publishing Review
“I was immediately pulled into the narrative…Kristin Dow wove humor, heartache, disappointment, and tragedy into a thought-provoking novel filled with growth and self-discovery. You won’t be able to read this book without learning a little something about yourself in the process.” -Readers’ Favorite

A CLASH OF HONOR, LOVE, AND AMBITION
In thirteenth-century Japan, the ronin Ken’ishi’s fondest wish has been granted—he has found service with a powerful samurai lord.

His unknown lineage holds dangerous secrets that could destroy him, and his sword, the magical relic called Silver Crane, holds the key to his past…and his future.
With enemies, temptation, and strife assailing him on all sides, Ken’ishi’s very soul falls into jeopardy—even as Khubilai Khan’s Mongol hordes plot their next attack.
Can Ken’ishi defeat Green Tiger, defend his homeland from the barbarian invaders, and remain true to his heart, his lord, and his honor?
If you love romance, intrigue and action on an epic scale, don’t miss this stunning climax to the Ronin Trilogy.
“If you watch Japanese movies or read Japanese literature, three of the most powerful forces in their culture are loyalty, duty and love. The way Heermann pits these forces against one another in the minds of the protagonists is masterful…. In Heermann’s Japan, the spirits and gods interact with the world on a daily basis, making for a ‘magic system’ rarely seen in literature. If you want to read something with a Japanese flavor both accessible and unique, Spirit of the Ronin is as good as you will find…. My only regret was that the story ended.” – New Myths
“When you actively watch out for new writers with potential, every so often you’re pleasantly surprised by one who has simply Got It, whose work is ready to push up to the next level. Travis Heermann has simply Got It.” – James A. Owen, author of Here, There Be Dragons
“Lovely details, an honorable character, and great action… Travis Heermann’s Spirit of the Ronin is a rich and entertaining story.” – Kevin J. Anderson, NYT bestselling author of Blood of the Cosmos
