A Fate Worse Than Death by Britt Lind

A Fate Worse Than Death by Britt Lind

As a homicide detective, Rosemaria Baker is known for her street smarts, her feisty personality and her ability to nail the bad guys.

Being the daughter of a cop and an actress gave little Rosemaria a dichotomous view of life. Her mother was inclined to get lost in her fantasies while her father had to face the harsh realities of a world filled with murder and mayhem. Nine-year-old Rosemaria loved both her parents and admired her mother’s talent but even at a young age she felt drawn to her father’s work as a detective, constantly begging him to share with her every detailed description of the dangerous criminals and close calls he survived while chasing the bad guys.

Whatever Rosemaria did she did it well; be it hitting baseballs, shooting baskets, writing school papers, she put her all into every endeavor. When tragedy invaded her world at the tender age of ten, she survived because of her innate ability to compartmentalize her feelings and move forward.

While still in college she was faced with a terrifying situation where she had to use all of her mental and physical capabilities in an effort to save her father’s life. Ignoring what would have been safe and expected of her and asking no one’s advice, she risked everything to find him and bring him home alive.

So Shall The Tree Grow by Ninie Hammon

About Featured Book: So Shall The Tree Grow by Ninie Hammon

Free from 1/24/2023 through 1/32/2023

Family loyalties, deadly feuds, and international drug wars are brought to life in Ninie Hammon’s new intergenerational tale set in present-day Kentucky, four decades after the rise and fall of the Cornbread Mafia.

When Ruth Hannacker finds a “just-in-case-anything-happens-to-me” letter among her mother’s things after she was killed in a tornado, it opens a new chapter in the family’s decades-long, fraught, and often tragic story with Righteous Weed.

The letter from Jessica Monaghan Hannacker tells of the Tree House, a propane tank buried in the ground where Willie Ray Taggart stashed his marijuana money back in the heyday of the Cornbread Mafia. When Ruth finds the Tree House, she discovers $75,000 in cash and quart jars of Righteous Weed seed, the finest strain of marijuana ever developed.

Over the protests of 72-year-old Riley Hannacker, the only remaining living member of the original Cornbread Mafia, the family decides to grow an indoor crop, illegal in Kentucky, so they can patent the strain and get a license to grow in one of the 11 newly legal states. They plan to market it as a premium boutique cannabis, appealing to the nostalgia of the smokers’ first-time high.

But as so often happens with the best-laid plans, things quickly go awry. Jealousy, resentment, anger, greed, and deeply buried feelings from long gone wrongs resurface and wreak havoc with what is left of the family.

So Shall The Tree Grow is the fourth and final book in Ninie Hammon’s new Cornbread Mafia series, a fictional story inspired by the real Cornbread Mafia that sprang up in picturesque Marion County, Kentucky, and grew into the largest illegal marijuana-growing operation in U.S. history.

Blood on Their Hands by Bob Brink

Blood on Their Hands by Bob Brink

Hiram Garbuncle is a veteran criminal defense attorney – as well as a miserly alcoholic. His life revolves around hoarding money, following sports, pursuing sex, drinking – and the prideful practice of law.

Alec Monceau is working as a computer salesman to support his daughter’s family in Trinidad. It is 2008, and his car carries an Obama bumper sticker. This political advertisement leads to a superfluous traffic stop and a brutal beating by police.

Garbuncle is reluctant to defend a man pro bono from a charge of violently resisting arrest, but he is so confident of winning that he is negligent in the jury selection, and a mistrial occurs. He then discovers incriminating evidence on the two cops, and his new challenge becomes how to keep himself and his client alive pending a new trial.

Along the way, a romantic affair turns into a tragic love story as Garbuncle’s paramour also becomes a target of the cops and their collaborators.

The inspiration for Blood on Their Hands came from the movies Gran Torino and My Cousin Vinnie. It is replete with suspense, thrills, plot twists, comedy, and crackling courtroom drama. The action includes violent scenes, and yes, a bit of titillating sex. Abundant humorous episodes provide comic relief from the pathos of a tragic love story. Amid an assortment of diverse characters, piquant dialogue, intrigue and moral tension is a message that resonates in our time.

Perhaps above all, Blood is a story of redemption.

Blood on Their Hands will be free on January 15 via the Kindle Select program.

What Comes Before

About What Comes Before:

This book is not only a stand-alone thriller it is also the newly released third book in the Heirs and Descendants Series, being published on the 4th of January this year.
The first book in this series; The Desolate Garden, was under a paid option to become a thirty-million-dollar-film, until, unfortunately, the option failed to materialise when it reached the distribution stage. However, not all was lost!
The publicity Mr Kemp received: an appearance on the BBC nationwide news programme, plus an article in a London evening newspaper, resulted in Mr Kemp being invited by Waterstone’s Bookshops on a countrywide tour signing that first novel of his.

This novel, ‘What Comes Before,’ carries that story, first told in The Desolate Garden and then Percy Crow, forward, to when——
Lord Harry Paterson, Sheriff of the County of Yorkshire, is coerced back to work for the British Security Services after witnessing the macabre death of a beautiful, young woman at a grouse shoot hosted by his friend and ex-fellow army officer, Viscount Winston Bottomly.

Unbeknownst to Harry, the woman – the Viscount’s fiancée – had stolen a top-secret file from the French consulate in London, containing information about an innovative encryption method called post quantum signal cryptography. With the power to endanger every communication method in use between allied nations, the document – in the wrong hands – could completely change the balance of power between East and West.

To avoid a technological threat to world safety, Harry is instructed to find the file and eliminate all those who have seen its contents. But does he still have what it takes to get the job done?
