Indomitable, Unbreakable, and Purely Enjoyable

Jeanette Vaughan gives readers another glimpse into heroine Nora Broussard’s life in this stunning sequel, ‘Solo Vietnam’.

 

In this sequel to her wildly successful novel, Flying Solo, author Jeanette Vaughan gives readers another glimpse into the life of Nora Broussard, a daring aviatrix who follows her heart.  Beginning in sultry, 1960’s New Orleans, Solo Vietnam follows Nora as she travels through her life and an unforgettable time in America’s history.

A woman who dared to dream, Nora became a pilot.  Born with wanderlust and an urge to live bigger and greater than most believed she could, her freedom in the skies led to heartbreak at home.  In the continuing events of Solo Vietnam, Nora’s heart still remains broken, but her spirit is as indomitable as ever.  When she learns that her star-crossed lover is thousands of miles from her, flying bombing missions in the dangerous jungles of Vietnam, she pledges to help him however she can.

When the U.S. government refuses to let her fly for the war, she turns to her other skills to get her where she needs to go.  She becomes a torch singing USO girl, traveling with Bob Hope, and gets more than she bargained for when the mortar attacks and napalm throw her life into uncertainty.  When Steve Novak, the love of her life, is shot down over Laos and declared MIA, Nora once again dares to risk everything to reconnect with him and soar above the expectations of women in her time.

A heart-stealing novel with an incredible heroine, Solo Vietnam will have readers rooting for Nora and her unbreakable spirit once more.  This stunning sequel does the original novel justice, and readers won’t be able to put it down until they’ve read the last page of Nora’s latest adventure.

Johnson introduces readers to his truly unique character, William Reyner, in the exciting first book of the Bill Reyner mystery series, Fiend’s Gold.  A harrowing adventure that combines lost legend with the allure of treasure hunting, Fiend’s Gold is the perfect introduction to Bill and his interesting life.

The story begins with a legend; hundreds of years ago, the Fiend family, a wild and unpredictable bunch, came into possession of a large stash of gold.  Located on a floundering ship, the vast amount of gold wasn’t just bad luck to those on the ship; it brought nothing but sorrow to the Fiend family, as well.  Bandits, eager for a piece of the treasure, and gold fever ended the Fiend family, but they managed to hide the treasure before they all disappeared.

Many, many years later, millionaire Edgar Reyner purchased the island rumored to be the final home of Fiend’s gold.  Another casualty of the hidden treasure, he also died for his efforts, after gold fever and murderer took him.  In his will, he leaves the bulk of his estate to his lazy nephew, Bill Reyner, an estate which also includes the island.  After becoming the heirs of the Reyner fortune, Bill and his grandmother set off for the island, unaware of its legends and curses.  Upon arriving, they learn the old stories, and Bill makes the ill-fated decision to hunt out the gold himself.  When murder and chaos enter their lives, Bill and his grandmother must face their unknown assailant alone, if they ever want to find the vast fortune that is Fiend’s gold.

A fun and exciting mystery adventure, readers will love the hapless Bill, and will undoubtedly be eager to continue the series after journeying into the wonderful world of Bill Reyner.

A Spy Novel Worthy of the Genre Free Download For Kindle Users on April 28th

Roger Croft’s ‘The Wayward Spy’ is an intriguing tale of espionage that celebrates the spy genre.

.

Lovers of the spy novel genre will find themselves entirely caught up in the fast-paced adventure of Roger Croft’s The Wayward Spy.  Set in 1992, the events of the novel take readers back in time to experience the fascinating tale of Michael Vaux and his adventures.

Michael Vaux, a veteran news reporter, had every intention of retiring early.  However, those plans were waylaid by greater powers when the British Secret Service uncovers his youthful friendship with Ahmed Kadri, who, unfortunately for Michael, is now Syria’s chief armaments buyer.  His retirement put on hold, Michael is tossed into a world of intrigue and upheaval.  He agrees to a one-off deal with M16, who is convinced that Syria is poised to sign a multi-billion arms deal with Russia that might upset the precarious balance of power in the volatile Middle East.

Michael disappears mysteriously during the Geneva Middle East Conference, during which Russia is secretly working out negotiations with Syria, and reappears later, photocopies of the arms deal in hand.  While his bosses at M16 couldn’t be happier, the CIA steps in, certain that Michael’s version is false and the evidence a deliberate deception on Syria’s part.  Michael is dispatched to Tangier, where his old friend Kadri has sought self-exile after a surprise coup by President Al Assad Shia’s supporters.  Thrown back into the fray, Michael must now obtain critical intelligence and defense data from his old friend.  The outcome of his trip shocks M16 as much as it shocks Michael.

A classic spy novel with a unique twist, readers will be furiously turning pages until they reach the stunning conclusion of Croft’s newest spy thriller.

A Historical Novel that Speaks to Readers of All Ages Free On Kindle!

John Jack McGuire’s ‘Joining Up’ gives readers a fascinating take on the American Civil War

.

Lovers of historical fiction will find themselves completely enthralled with Jack McGuire’s Joining Up, a powerfully moving story about two teenage boys living during the United States Civil War.  Accurately portraying both the desperation and the bravery of the two main characters and the realities of the Civil War itself, screenwriter McGuire draws upon factual events to weave a tale that will reach readers, no matter their age.

Bobby and Will are teenagers who have never had it easy.  Facing mistreatment and misery at the hands of the dreadful headmaster at St. John’s Orphanage, Bobby and Will opt to run away and find their futures elsewhere.  That “elsewhere” turns out to be in the ranks of Brooklyn’s Red Legged Devils of the 14th Regiment.  The boys’ adventure takes them all the way to Pennsylvania, driven by the heroism and valor of the legendary Fourteenth.  When they finally don their Union Blues, they become a part of America’s rich history, as the famous Battle of Gettysburg is on the horizon, and the Confederacy and the Union are about to meet in a way that will never be forgotten.  

A Civil War buff, author McGuire lends his knowledge and expertise to the details of the story, creating fictionalized conversations between actual historical figures that shine a new and unique light on the events of the Civil War itself.  His protagonists, Bobby and Will, though born and raised during one of America’s most iconic eras, transfer easily to readers, as their courageous longing to serve their country reflects that of so many young men and women today.

Joining Up  is free on Kindle on April 24th!
