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.

Shit That We Should Never Pass Along And All That We Cannot Leave Behind by M.J. Boin De
There are stories meant to transport us out of reality and somewhere better, giving us a small reprieve from the harsh truths of our world. And then there are stories that reflect those harsh truths and amplify the messiness of reality. M.J. Boin De’s debut novel, Shit That We Should Never Pass Along, and All That We Cannot Leave Behind, is an exemplary model of the latter.
The story follows 15-year-old Mara along with her wildly dysfunctional family, often swapping perspectives between Mara and her mother, Gina. This wild mother-daughter duo seem to constantly be at odds with each other, partially because of Gina’s absence due to her working three jobs and Mara being left to care for her younger sisters.
And yet, despite their screaming, fighting and snarky comments — and monthly noise complaints — this is a family that deeply loves each other. While Mara and her mother’s relationship may be taut with many issues, they grow to slowly understand each other by the end of the story.
Long & Difficult Road to Healing From Trauma
In the late 1980s, Mara and her family move to rural Kansas to escape her stepfather — the biological father of her two younger sisters, and the man who abused Mara both physically and sexually for most of her life. Mara’s accusations cause a small rift in her family due to her mother’s denial. Unable to confide in her family, Mara is left to heal on her own.
Mara continues to withdraw further into herself, refusing to really let others in. This often leads her into troublesome situations — with her sisters, her boyfriend and her community at large. Feeling guilty for her perceived failings as a mother, Gina often lets Mara off the hook easy, and Mara only continues her downward spiral.
With the help of her younger sisters, a mischievous cousin, and her boyfriend, Mara mostly lives to taunt the three old women who live nearby and spill their family business to everyone at church. But when one particular prank goes wrong, Mara is left with an unpleasant feeling of guilt in her stomach. When she goes to make amends, she ends up making a connection with the most unlikely of people.
Complicated Characters, Messy Life, Touching Story
Part of what makes this story so engaging is the nitty-gritty details of the family, revealing their darkest moments — and making them feel that much more real in the process. Mara and Gina (as well as Mara’s youngest sister, Teeney) are, to be blunt, complete assholes, both to each other and to most others. Their language and attitudes are foul.
But there are so many complicated layers to dig through to really see the people underneath. Mara is an avid advocate for social justice, and Gina is an independent woman ahead of her time who just wants to hold her family together. These characters are far from perfect — and that’s what makes them perfect characters.
Life is complicated and dirty and messy, and often things aren’t simply black and white — and Shit That We Should Never Pass Along perfectly encapsulates that. This book is touching and heartwarming in the most unexpected of ways, and readers might find themselves dabbing away a tear or two.

About The Ericksen Connection:
The Ericksen Connection is a spy thriller about betrayal, PTSD, corruption, conspiracy, terrorism, and murder. Mark Ericksen, the former Navy SEAL Team Six operator and executive vice president of EyeD4 Systems, a biometrics defense contractor based in Wilsonville, Oregon, was all about duty, honor, and country.

In 2009, the CIA received actionable intelligence about a Saudi terrorist mastermind aided by Russian arms dealers who needed a classified biometrics encryption communications system from EyeD4 Systems to direct his sleeper cell operatives in launching a horrific nuclear attack on American cities.
When America urgently needs his services again, the CIA tasks him with Operation Avenging Eagles to sabotage the plot. Can Ericksen avoid discovery and thwart the nuclear attack before a network of terrorists achieves their plans?
About Becoming Ambassadors of Christ, A Workbook for All of God’s Children (and Those Who Should Be) by Rebecca Gerideau:
This workbook encourages a student’s approach to
understanding God’s Word. It gives the opportunity to practice: asking questions and reading the Holy Scripture for
understanding; breaking down scriptural verses; comparing different bible versions of the same verse; and using other study tips you already know while studying God’s Word.
The reader is encouraged to continually address personal levels of sincerity when answering questions and completing exercises then stretching those levels to a higher degree which allows God’s word to work in us. Most importantly, it encourages asking for God’s help during personal, Sunday
School, and group studies.
“Our vision of a physical father might mess with our understanding of a Heavenly Father. Not everyone grew up with their father. This was a stumbling block for me.”
“There was a big gap in my life when “father” came up. I was trying to comprehend ‘God our Heavenly Father’ through my own warped, partial understanding.”
Pain Points to highlight:
1. God loves everyone and made repentance possible through His Son, Jesus Christ, for all who would believe.
2. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice and is the perfect example of how to live a life pleasing to God. He explained how the Old and New Testaments connect.
3. Becoming Ambassadors of Christ calls for living as Jesus Christ lived by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. This requires serious reflection so we may understand what we are doing with and in our life; so we may know where our thoughts and behaviors lead.

About How I Lost Weight & Healed My Body Eating Pizza & Wings:
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in a world where you could eat what you want without gaining weight? What if you could indulge and eat fried chicken, pizza, ice cream, cake, cookies, anything you crave and not have to suffer negative recourses? What if I told you, it’s ingredients that make us sick and obese, not the food.
It’s been a year since I turned myself into a guinea pig and delved into the food world. What I found not only disturbed me but drove me to dig deeper into the billion-dollar industry.
At my heaviest, I was 285 lbs. I suffered from IBS, gluten intolerance, nightshade allergies, severe arthritis requiring steroid injections and was on a CPAP aka alien machine. I had tried all of the fad diets. Weight Watchers, Paleo, Keto, Atkins, now called the meat diet, Mediterranean and more. I know all about counting calories, counting carbs, portion sizes, fasting, you name it.
Now, at 54, I’m healthier and thinner than I’ve ever been in my adult years. I’ve gone from a size 18/20 to a 12/14. I no longer suffer from ANY illnesses and no longer hooked up to a machine to breathe at night. I don’t count calories, carbs or pay attention to portion sizes, I only listen to my body. I don’t have to make a special meal for me, while creating yummy meals for my family. We eat together; one meal that we all want and choose.
In this book, I will share with you the ingredients to avoid to lose weight and heal your body. I’ll also share some of my favorite recipes, and yes, I still eat pizza, fried chicken, wings and so much more on a regular basis and to date have not gained weight, or the diseases back!

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time:
“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.
The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.
