Out of Time by M. Jacqueline Murray

Out of Time by M. Jacqueline Murray

Life has a time limit. Love doesn’t.
For most of her 78 years, Maddie Cole has done things the ‘wrong’ way. But throwing out the societal rule book meant sacrificing romantic success for career highs — a move she’s never regretted…much. Now retired, she relishes the freedom to travel with her only daughter, Anne. Their latest trip is a long weekend in picturesque Bar Harbor, and Maddie is determined to enjoy every last minute.
Octogenarian Nate Jacobs has always taken pride in doing things the ‘right’ way. He built a successful legal career by following the rules, and now, retired and widowed, he runs a tight ship at the Hope Point Lighthouse B&B. Perhaps that’s why Maddie, with her disregard for convention, catches his eye.
When Anne is unexpectedly called away on work business, Maddie finds herself compelled to stay on at Hope Point, alone. Over breakfast conversations and long walks, Nate and Maddie’s friendship deepens, and their growing connection forces both to confront the paths not taken and the possibility that some loves transcend time itself.

Last-Second Decision by Keith Pemberton

Last-Second Decision by Keith Pemberton

During months of penury from Haiti’s destruction, they selected Inspector Gage Pemberton to join a security team of twenty men. Their primary duty was to give help to the refugees. Pemberton struggles between his leadership role and his love for his wife, and he realizes his arrogance toward the task ahead fools him. The decision to appoint Pemberton should have been taken seriously by the lieutenant. Who felt overlooked and unacknowledged?

Pemberton’s reality began loosening once he steps foot into Haiti. He’s introduced to his faith and the problems that come with it. Surrounded by unexpected fantasies and decisions. The lieutenant is a serpent trying to devour Pemberton’s body. Pemberton kept growing more and more adamant about the safety of his men, struggling with a feeling that he won’t die and refusing to lose hope. Pemberton pondered these words in his heart, “another man’s loss is another man’s gain.” While trying to make the best of the situation, things kept challenging him. I can describe happiness as lost memories being found.

Haitian soldiers fought bravely to capture or kill these men from a misguided prime minister whose primary focus was revenge. Only when James got put down for the actions of Constable Huggins did the men grow stronger together. From there, it was a struggle to go home. They faced obstacle after obstacle—our guys with situations that would break minor men. But, finally, seeing the result was home, and they fought for the chance to return home again. Their home on their lips, they fought to feel such pleasures again. As a result, trust broken, and it made a new form of brotherhood. Will they make it to freedom, or will death be their ultimate decision?

The Demon Rift

About The Demon Rift:

For eons, it observed Earth’s smoldering beginning, then its parade of life and the rise of Man. It entered our dreams, whispering, cajoling, hissing its promises of glory and power. To cause a permanent rift in the barrier that separates our universes, it created a saboteur.

Red pools swirled in the yellow eyes as the boy began to smile, his mouth widening into an impossible grin.

Often moving between timelines, the story covers more than a century, as women fight a demon named Bernie. To serve his demon masters, he murders wherever he goes. As an old man, he is caught and sent to prison which he burns to the ground with almost everyone in it. His demon masters want to create a pathway to our world. To continue his mission, Bernie steals the identity and youth of his young cellmate. In 2004, Bernie is now retired U.S. senator and multimillionaire John Arnold, who has used his wealth and position to push forward a big shopping mall in Redhill, Ohio. The mall stands on the site where the barrier between worlds is thin, a location that previously housed the prison. Bernie plans a Great Offering: opening a rift for demons and richly rewarding himself. To do so, he needs the psychic abilities of Madonna, the latest in a line of women since 1898 who have fought but failed to stop him. But if Madonna can harness her powers, she can close the rift forever and save Redhill’s Christmas shoppers.

It’s 2004. There are no smart phones, no Facebook, no Snapchat or Instagram.

“The Mall” is the town square, a place to hang for mall rats and best friends, and a mecca for shoppers. Redhill Ohio has a new mall and many hope that it will revive the town’s dying economy.

As Christmas approaches, it seems they may be right. Then the murders start–all of them a necessary prelude to the main event.

On Christmas Eve there will be a battle and fate of the Universe determined.

About Peace Cries the Soul by Leah Dawkins:

The author’s next adult fiction novel is the second book in the Beauregard Family series about family ties, long-buried secrets, dead bodies, scandals, and one man’s attempt to stop running and face his legacy.

Sawyer, nicknamed Tripp, is the oldest son of the Beauregard family. He is a career military man as a Colonel in the United States Army. Other than attending his father’s funeral five years ago, he has not been home in decades. But Sawyer receives an urgent call from his younger sister explaining that there is a family emergency and he is needed at home.
The skeletal remains of a corpse have been uncovered, and with the body, long-buried secrets. Sawyer is thrust into the role of patriarch at the family farm. In Venice, Mississippi, Sawyer rekindles his friendship with a local deputy, Grady, and discovers the depths to which his family will go to maintain their position in society.

Southpaw by Dennis Sweeney


About Featured Book: Southpaw by Dennis Sweeney

There seemed to be a huge gaping hole inside of me. I wanted some answers but didn’t know where to look. I felt like there was a huge worldwide conspiracy afoot to keep me in a state of utter confusion, making me so numb that I had no choice but to give up and let the experts get on with it. What a wonderful thing democracy is. You can say what you want as long as you do as you’re told. It all seemed so superficial, so inadequate. Where would it all lead? Lying in some hospital bed in thirty years’ time, dying of some ‘disease of civilization’; up to my neck in debt, alcoholism, depression, loneliness and insanity.

There had to be more to life than this.I am talking about liberation here. Freedom from the bondage of self. Freedom from our blinkered, prejudiced, opinionated thoughts. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got. The more stoned I got, the more abstract yet somehow meaningful it all became. We were one and the same. I was he. He was me. That bald little Chinese monk on TV was beckoning me to follow the path, the way of the warrior, the way of the Grasshopper. The monk was right; change was the natural way of the universe. Things were not always as they appeared to be. A young Scottish boxer breaks away from the shackles of his environment, only to find himself mixed up with heroin smuggling in Asia. A story of violence, prison, fear and desperation, which leads to inner reflection and finally redemption.
