MORE Crazy Days & Wild Nights by Howie Mooney

About MORE Crazy Days & Wild Nights by Howie Mooney:

This is the follow-up to Mooney’s successful Crazy Days & Wild Nights. This book continues in the vein of recounting outlandish and detailed stories of wild events that have taken place over the last fifty years. This book contains eleven different stories that again capture the wildly random nature of sports. Rational players can become irrational given certain circumstances. A pro hockey player is arrested during a game for an assault he had committed the year before. But, he’d evaded the cops back then. A Soviet hockey star with desires to play in North America was spirited away from his homeland amid lethal surroundings. Two boxers, from disparate backgrounds, with the world in their hands, engaged in a bout that ended in the worst possible way. What so many of the stories in this book have in common is that in each, there is a window of time – a few seconds, a few minutes, a few hours – in which something happens that may never have been planned for, but careers and possibly lives are changed forever. These actions force everyone involved to deal with the consequences of random chance.

Charles and Her

About Charles and Her:

It is the story of Charles, a gambling addict who, after getting evicted, decides to risk it all once more at a casino. Turned down at it due to them knowing him, he goes to an illegal casino where he ends in debt to serious criminals, who take his daughter Sienna as insurance.
Fearing her being killed if he contacts the authorities, he goes to the criminal town known as “Arknley”, where he tries finding an assassin who will help him.
There, he meets an eccentric woman who won’t reveal her face nor name, and who seems to be either extremely smart or stupid, willing to kill as much as she is to make innapropriate sex jokes.

That First Year by Margaret Kay

That First Year by Margaret Kay

From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Margaret Kay, That First Year, a story of love, loss, family, and resiliency, with hope, tears, and laughter.

Elyse Laramie created a happy, loving home for herself and her three children, who now, as adults, are successful and living independent lives away from home. Her marriage to her high school sweetheart, Tim, had grown into something that neither of them wanted it to be, but it wasn’t something that either of them wanted to end. Elyse had always secretly hoped the future would bring about a change that would rekindle that spark between them and renew what had become a platonic relationship.

Her oldest daughter, Claire, is married with two young children of her own. She is building her career in the same field as her father. Kade, the middle child, is a paramedic, living with his girlfriend of two years. Kelsey, the youngest, is getting ready to graduate from college.

Then…a terrible accident changes everything.

In the aftermath, life goes on and brings new roles, new or renewed romantic relationships, and new challenges to each member of the family.

Grief experts advise someone coping with the recent loss of their loved one to make no major life decisions or changes during That First Year. For the Laramie family, life had other plans. This is each of their stories during That First Year.

The Hidden Pull

About The Hidden Pull:

Suffocating from boredom and bureaucracy in a low-level corporate job, he was starved for adventure. By fate or happenstance, a hidden door led him into a secret underground room the likes of which he had never imagined possible. Surrounded by cascading waterfalls of reflected light and oddly sentient plant beings, he knew he’d found his new obsession. There was just one problem: it was all against the law.

What follows is a decade-long coming of age journey in an obscure and forbidden industry: sometimes breathtaking, at times heartbreaking, occasionally profitable, and always with the mandatory sense of impending legal doom. As he struggles to support his medical patients, haggle prices with shady types and barter with loan sharks—all the while flying under the radar—he is forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: this wasn’t actually what he wanted to do with his life, after all.

Ultimately over a hundred grand in debt, he’d need to fight to salvage friendships, take foolish risks just to keep the lights on, and wrestle with doubts and impostor syndrome to finally discover the real reasons behind this bizarre career choice. As with his illicit harvests, he’d once again have to start from scratch, find his voice, and take another kind of risk: cultivating his first words.

Set as a true crime memoir, The Hidden Pull is full of rebellious adventure, humor, and youthful self-sabotage; an entertaining and sincere account of growing up and learning the painfully necessary lessons of finding and following one’s true path.

Operation: Protected Angel by Margaret Kay

Operation: Protected Angel by Margaret Kay

ngel Matthew’s day started like any other…until she ran into the armed man in the hallway at work. What came next was a blur, a hostage ordeal, a terrorist attack, explosions and gunfire, a fight for her life. Then she wakes with a head injury and finds herself in the custody of a group of armed men, who won’t disclose exactly who they are. One of them, the attractive and attentive Jackson is kind and Angel finds herself trusting him, falling for him.

Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don’t apply–just the oath they took. They don’t exist. That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary. Sometimes it’s not clear, though, is the person in their custody a witness or the perpetrator, a friendly or a foe, innocent or guilty as sin? Angel Matthews fits into this category–where exactly needs to be determined.

Warning, this story is realistic, with adult language and content. It does contain one scene of violence and abuse, followed by healing and strength on the way to the HEA. This is book #1 in the Amazon Best Selling Shepherd Security Series.
