The Assassin’s Case by Craig Alexander

The Assassin’s Case by Craig Alexander

For sixteen years former FBI agent Grant Sawyer has longed for the day when he can reap vengeance on the man who murdered his family. When he foils the theft of a briefcase containing an exotic biological weapon, he gets his chance.

A sniper in the elite FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Grant was forced to shoot the son of a prominent racketeer in the line of duty. In retribution a contract was placed on Grant’s family, resulting in their murders. Frustrated after a year passed without the killer being brought to justice, Grant attempted to take the law in his own hands, ending his career in the FBI. Now he is a forty-year old security guard, embittered by the lust for vengeance, and laden with grief over the loss of his family. While at the mall he interrupts an exchange and gains possession of a briefcase. The case belongs to the assassin who killed his family, Jimmy “Boom” Tedesco, and he wants it back. As an incentive he offers Grant the cure for the poison coating its handle.
When the two men meet, Grant wants nothing more than revenge, to spill the hit-man’s blood. But his vengeance will have to wait. Though reluctant, he is convinced to help the assassin fulfill a mission of mercy. A mission to rescue a kidnapped family and to help the killer salve his own remorse laden conscience. But Grant makes one thing clear: “When this is over, no power on heaven or earth will keep me from sending you to hell.”

An action-packed adventure with two reluctant participants; one seeks redemption, the other retribution. Who will survive?

First Drive: A Seph Vermillion Western Adventure by David Fitz-Gerald

First Drive: A Seph Vermillion Western Adventure by David Fitz-Gerald

Grab your hat, step into your boots, and strap on those spurs. Your cow pony is saddled up and ready to ride the trail from San Antonio to Abilene.

Seph Vermillion grew up dirt poor. As long as he can remember, he’s been pushing a plow and arguing with a mule. A couple of times a year, a trio of bandits ravage the family farm and make off with their savings.

Pa never returned home after the war. Seph’s siblings have been gone so long, he doesn’t remember what they look like. When Ma dies after a long illness, Seph trades the family farm for a horse named Sheriff. The kid next door tells Seph about the Deatherage Longhorn Cattle Ranch. The allure of adventure beckons. They partner up and hit the trail. Lacking skills, they are the last cowboys hired and agree to work for half pay.

The outfit’s top hand, Stoke Moreland, pranks, taunts, and threatens Seph. Why does the seasoned cowboy seem intent on driving him off? Seph doesn’t know much about self-defense, but he is tired of being a victim and feeling violated. How long can he turn the other cheek?

The trail is fraught with hazards from perilous river crossings to the mother of all stampedes. When they realize they’re being tracked, followed, and hunted, a growing sense of doom overwhelms the fledgling outfit of cowboys who are still wet behind the ears. The outlaws that plagued Seph’s past have followed them and they are determined to take the herd. Their plan is simple: pit the cowboys against each other, pick them off one by one, and stampede the beeves.

Since they left San Antonio, the drovers have looked forward to whooping it up at the end of the trail. That was before somebody began killing cowboys. Now, Abilene seems like an impossible dream. Will anybody make it to the end of the trail?

Sign on with the Dagger D, Angry R brand—First Drive is calling your name.

The women head to Wyoming and prepare for the holiday. Fortunately, the presence of canines, kittens, a small boy, and a strong-willed horse infuses the worrisome situation with laughter and joy—now and then.

Flight of the Vessel by Robert Clifton Storey Jr

Step into a world where magic entwines with spirituality, where destiny unfolds in the whispers of a dream, and where love blossoms amidst the tumult of battle.

On her nineteenth birthday, Angelterra, princess of Palzintine, finds her peaceful existence shattered by an invading horde. In his pursuit of ultimate power, Shutharja, a sorcerer and cleric of the Fallen Spirit, unleashes a war of shock and plunder upon the kingdoms surrounding the Imperial Sea.

For avid fantasy aficionados craving epic battles and mythical realms, for romance enthusiasts yearning for love stories that transcend time and adversity, for seekers of spiritual enlightenment intertwined with magical wonders—this story is your portal to a much greater adventure.

Join Angelterra as she navigates treacherous landscapes, confronts celestial prophecies, and grapples with the eternal struggle between the forces of light and those of darkness.Discover why Angelterra’s quest is not just an adventure—it’s a testament to the enduring power of love, faith, and the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Moonlight Skull – winner in Unpublished Fiction category – 2024 Beach Book Festival

“Hey!” Gigi said. “What are you doing?” The sight of the big man carrying a bloody skull freaked her out and she wanted to run.
“Relax,” Bob said. “Señor Ocotillo just wants to watch…” He held the skull carefully and let it watch her. “He hasn’t had any in a while since as you can see he’s dead…” He held the skull and watched quietly for a while as skull shaped moonlight shadows played on the canyon wall.

Margarita stared at the huge apparition that approached her. It was like some kind of evil nightmare had materialized right out of a bad dream. He was even more evil and more dangerous than before. He was someone who was supposed to be dead because she’d watched him die. She started to scream as he got closer.
