Author Bio
I’ve lived a life of contrasts, from corporate boardrooms in Europe and the U.S. to the back of an ambulance on a 911 call. After a successful career in international business leadership, I made the bold decision to retrain as a paramedic at age 50. Bottom Line to Lifeline is the story of that journey: a year of reinvention, challenge, purpose, and unexpected fun.

I’ve always been drawn to new perspectives, whether in life, business, or the outdoors. When I’m not working with EMS teams, consulting, or writing, you can find me hiking or mountain walking (Snowdonia in North Wales, UK, is a favorite) or out on the open road on my motorcycle. I also play both guitar and violin—music brings a kind of clarity and expression that words often can’t.

My writing reflects my conviction that life is too short to remain stagnant, that we’re all capable of profound transformation, and that the most meaningful work we can do often begins when we venture far outside our comfort zone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to change everything, or if you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes in emergency medical care, I hope you’ll find something in this book that inspires or stays with you.

Black Yéʼii (The Evil One) by Joseph Lewis

A 2025 Maxy Award Finalist for Thriller and Suspense.
“On one side, unconditional familial love supported by the camaraderie of law enforcement. On the other? Guns, drugs, and hatred. Black Ye’ii stages an epic battle between good and evil.” –Cam Torrens, award-winning author of the Tyler Zahn thriller series.
“Black Yéʼii: (The Evil One), by Joseph Lewis, is a police procedural thriller. Within the first minute of reading this story, it captures you with a brutal double murder that sets the pace for the entire novel. Blood thirsty revenge would be a charitable term, because when members of the MS-13 gang come back to town to avenge the deaths of four of their members, they are merciless killers. As police and detectives investigate the double murders, they start to connect the dots, and it becomes clear that the target of this revenge killing is a group of young men, one in particular, who apparently holds the secret to what happened on that night when four gang members were killed. We follow law enforcement, as they Sherlock the trail of blood, one that eventually culminates in a face-off. A cold-blooded thriller that will keep you reading to the end.” – Real’ Laplaine, Reviewer.

The secret of how four members of MS-13 died was supposed to keep them safe. That is, if no one spoke of it. But someone did, and now people are dying.

The police fabricated a story about the night four members of MS-13 died in a tiny home on a quiet city street almost two years previous. George Tokay and his friends were not supposed to share the secret about what really happened that night. No one was to know the truth. But someone talked, and now MS-13, ruthless and wanting revenge, is back in town, and people are dying.

Can Detectives Graff, O’Connor, and Eiselmann find the killers and put a stop to the killing before anyone else dies?

Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons

Oaths of Blood is an action-packed grimdark historical fantasy set during the Crusades, in the vein of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne.

In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city.

But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way…

After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose’s lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine. With the aid of a secretive party of warriors, he must track down the man who ripped out his throat in the blink of an eye, for if he does not, his future as a human will be short.

As he crawls deeper into the shadows, it is clear, only oaths made in blood survive.

A war-filled journey through the crusades and into the depths of the ancient Noctis Bellum. Filled with legendary characters both barbaric and gray, driven by valor and treachery alike!

“Bloody, brutal, and brilliantly action-packed. Historical fantasy that will sink its fangs into you!” — Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

“The characters, the prose, the dialogue and the action all blend perfectly into a heady tale fit for a king’s mead hall. And it’s only just beginning. Well done and five stars.” —Eric Schumacher, bestselling author of God’s Hammer, Hakon’s Saga

“I thought the plot was great. By chapter 2, I was fully invested. By chapter 6 I was engrossed and had to know more right now. The twists and turns it takes you on, plus the well written and beautifully described action/fighting senes – it’s reminiscent of John Gwynne and Joe Abercrombie.” – Stress Reader

About The Billionaire’s Secret Son by Brandy Sparks

In the gleaming towers of Manhattan’s financial district, Noah Hunter commands his cybersecurity empire with the same precision and control that defines every aspect of his life. His glass-walled penthouse offers panoramic views of the city but reveals nothing of the man within—a man whose carefully constructed walls have kept everyone at a calculated distance since that night five years ago.
Until Mia Thompson walks back into his office.
Standing before him in chef’s whites rather than prison garb, she’s a vision of resilience—auburn curls shorter than he remembers, hazel eyes carrying shadows that weren’t there before. The wrongfully convicted chef needs a second chance, and Noah’s exclusive new restaurant needs a culinary visionary.
What begins as a reluctant professional collaboration quickly ignites into something far more dangerous as their chemistry refuses to be contained…

Siphon: Power Comes with a Price by Jason Fox

Apollo, a human-alien hybrid with the otherworldly and unwelcomed ability to kill with a touch, is born and imprisoned in Area 51. A moment of skin-to-skin contact with Apollo instantly turns a person to ash—and creates a massive surge of energy that temporarily ignites other superhuman powers within him. Apollo’s government jailers look to study and exploit him, but he escapes as a teenager and, for a time, finds the simple joys of living as a human before his discovery and recapture.
When dark days threaten humanity’s future, will Apollo play the reluctant hero?
Combining the mystery of The X-Files, the action of Independence Day, and the humanity found in the Superman mythos all rolled into a riveting tale of loss, destiny, and the price of power. Is our protagonist a man, monster, or hero? Perhaps he’s all three?

Breast Cancer Is A MISDIAGNOSIS by Danny Carroll

Breast Cancer Is A MISDIAGNOSIS by Danny Carroll

WARNING: This book is not for everyone. If you believe the foundation principles of Conventional Medicine are beyond question, this book is not for you. If you have the conviction that chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation are the only possible treatments for cancer, please do not buy this book.

“Breast Cancer Is a Misdiagnosis” is a groundbreaking and lifesaving book that courageously challenges conventional medical wisdom. The eye-opening insights provided by Danny Carroll unveil the biological nature of breast cancer.”
— Cindy Scott, stage 4 breast cancer survivor

“Everything Danny’s brilliant book lays out, and all I’ve learned about German New Medicine and Dr. Hamer’s incredible medical discoveries over the past year, has been the truth and freedom I’ve long been seeking. Finding, understanding, and applying GNM has been life-changing and, without a doubt, lifesaving.”
— Leona Morris, breast cancer survivor

“Breast cancer is not a malignant, iniquitous invader, but a reaction to stress or trauma. Danny’s work is meaningful and momentous in a world that is topsy-turvy and scores making profit above health. I am still here because of my knowledge of it. Please read it. It may just save your life or your loved ones.”
— Lisa Tomlinson, breast cancer survivor

“I cannot recommend this book more highly to anyone going through a breast cancer diagnosis or trying to make sense of a previous diagnosis. It is the best and most comprehensive piece I have yet to read on German New Medicine’s explanation of breast cancer.”
— Kimberlee Peifer, breast cancer survivor

Breast Cancer Is a Misdiagnosis explores the groundbreaking medical discoveries of a German physician named Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, whose discoveries are known as Germanic Healing Knowledge (Germanische Heilkunde in German), or German New Medicine.

In Dr. Hamer’s science, there is no such thing as “disease.” Biological changes are, in fact, survival programs that are designed to keep us alive, not harm us.

In 1978, two months after the untimely death of his 19-year-old son, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with cancer of the testicle and stomach. He was given a one percent chance of surviving. Against all odds, Dr. Hamer survived.

In his late forties, and otherwise a healthy man, Dr. Hamer could not help thinking there must be a causal relationship between his son’s recent death and getting cancer in a reproductive organ.

He spent close to four decades and worked directly with over 50,000 patients. He estimated that when his medical discoveries surface, 95% of all symptomatic conventional and alternative medicine treatment protocols will become obsolete. This makes him a dangerous man in a multi-trillion-dollar industry.

When Tubingen University refused to test or verify Dr. Hamer’s medical discoveries against the law and a court order, the reason they gave in court was, “We do not want to know if Dr. Hamer is right or not.”

In Dr. Hamer’s medical science, the Germanic Healing Knowledge, there is no such diagnosis as breast cancer.

If you have been given a diagnosis of breast cancer, read this book to discover:
• Why your diagnosis is incorrect.
• A six-year study that resulted in 85% of cancer patients who refused medical treatment surviving.
• How to switch off excruciating pain like a light switch.
• A music therapy to place your disease on hold while you address its emotional origins.
• How Germanic Healing Knowledge therapy is possibly the only exception I have ever found to the rule, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

This book is the first in a 500+ book series, one book for each disease.
