Free Book 08/06/2018: No More Blood by Barbara Thompson

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

Truman Capote has only 3 hours and 45 minutes left to live.
Is there time enough for him to create one last epic tale?

To warp and twist and colour the Past, so the death knell Present can be accepted… as one small feminine hand reaches for another?

Near Garden City, Kansas, a young girl walks a lonely stretch of dirt road waiting to meet up with “Him”.

The End, in every sense, is nigh; the clock is ticking…

Beyond the fame and fortune which hit like a tsunami after “In Cold Blood,” when time is no longer on your side, when you are sick, alone and dying, can a Happily Ever After be written for Truman?

About the Author
Barbara Thompson is a retired public relations liaison and currently a Calgary, Canada-based freelance editor and author of three literary/historical novels; No More Blood – Epilogue to the life of Truman Capote & In Cold Blood, Eighteen Minutes to the Beast – a Nixon Watergate Thriller, and Sessions – Predator vs. Shrink Who will survive?

The overriding theme in Barbara's work concerns the process of death, whether it be death of an historical icon, an idea or an event, her works cover those final moments when ultimate truth plays the only role. Barbara’s preferred way to tell a tale is through the Non-Fiction Novel approach; whereby iconic people and/or milestone moments in the past are tweaked and warped ever so slightly to reveal an answer to a long-held mystery or a societal question, folding in fictional characters and locales to more colour the story and give it a rich feel and vibrant atmosphere, to better weave the fantasy within the reality.

Barbara’s upcoming historical epic, entitled AIR, tells of six US Navy sailors in 1941 as they try to hold on to life after the USS Oklahoma capsizes in Pearl Harbor. All six, trapped below the sea, find out there can be far worse things in life than death. AIR is due to be released in late 2019.

Free Book: Henrietta: Book #1 in the House of Donato Series by Patricia M Jackson

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

henrietta
Is anyone ever really free of their past? Is it truly possible to start over fresh?

Etta was certainly going to try. After her turbulent undergraduate years, she was getting a fresh start in Marquette and finishing her dream. She’d pour everything she had into a healthy mind, body and spirit and work to become the best writer she could. What a dream spot to do it, along the shores of Lake Superior.

Tom was forging a new vision for his life after a career-ending injury as a power player on Northern Michigan’s college hockey team. The NHL was no longer in his future. But what were his prospects? Where would he find that something he’d longed for, to build a life like his parents had? How could he form what they had found together?

After a meeting of the minds, Tom and Etta create a bond from friendship. That friendship blossoms into romance. But is it really possible to start anew with so much baggage and no clear vision of the future? Do your experiences shape you into someone who can make something pure and clean from the crumbling embers? Or will the past always come looking for you when you least expect it?

Words from another Henrietta, who rebuilt her life from tragedy, bring the answers that allow Etta to move forward. But is it already too late?

About the Author
Patricia M Jackson started out life as a farmer’s daughter, keeping chickens, selling eggs, growing up in a series of small Minnesotan towns. Her earliest memory is listening as her mother read Milton’s “Paradise Lost” as a bedtime story. She’s always loved a good book and reads voraciously. She was a child prodigy as a pianist, becoming a virtuoso by seventeen. She has an inherent love for music. It’s her first language. Everything else is a translation. She’s one of those people who can’t stop the creative process. She still sings and plays, but mainly for herself, her friends and family. She paints, sews and bakes. She has a math degree and has worked for twenty years as a programmer. She loves children and was once a high-school teacher. It’s fair to say she’s eclectic.

Patricia writes romantic fiction and she wants to share her writing with you because the stories she’s telling deserve to be told. She draws inspiration for her novels from real people she’s found in researching genealogy or that she’s known who lived inspired lives. Those real people deserve to be remembered. We don’t always know all of the specifics of their lives, so she weaves their true-to-life details with fiction within a romance. Why romance? Well, because love and romance are universal and a good romance is a great read.

You’ll find Patricia M Jackson at home in the metro Minneapolis area where she lives with her husband and her geriatric dog, Charlie. She’s probably dreaming of a new love and adventure for characters she can’t wait to share with you.

Free Book 02/08/2016: And the Puppy Howls by E. P. Lee

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

AndThePuppyHowls
A Ménage…

There’s a new puppy in Eric’s house: Freud. And this should be a good thing. It’s definitely a start… It’s definitely better. But as Eric’s visits to the Doctors keep reminding him, “better” doesn’t mean well.

After the last few years, the last few months, Eric has nothing left: nothing but the house in Miami, his memories, and now the puppy.

And Freud is only here, scampering and howling and messing, because Ziggy had to be put down. And Freud isn’t quite Ziggy.

And the house is only here because… and it needs to, it has to, sell… and it won’t quite sell.

And nobody and nothing’s Mitch.

Eric, surrounded by memories, flattened and churned up by Banks, Doctors, Real Estate Agents and Fantasies, grieving over the loss of his health, his lover, and the life he once had in the house he now can’t quite get rid of, keeps climbing towards the future, one uneven, unsteady step at a time. Still, it’s hard to know where he’s climbing to.

And though there’s a lot of healing to do, how to start?

Well… at least there’s the puppy. Freud isn’t Ziggy, but that’s okay. He makes Eric smile.

And the Puppy Howls is the story of being hit by everything modern American life can throw, and who and what comes next.

About the Author
After a lifetime spent in his native New York Eric Paul Lee now resides in beautiful, tropical, Miami, Florida. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Coney Island, Eric often wandered the Boardwalk in his childhood. Eric frequently wasted his allowance at the now demolished Steeplechase Park and the other dated, dowdy and declining amusements that defined Coney Island… and much of traditional society… back then. The traditional was still in back then. And the traditional like Coney Island had seen it’s glory days, it’s heyday, long passed. But the new hadn’t arrived yet. Just the old was fading… And so the forms still had to be obeyed. And with that Eric’s parent’s obeyed those forms and Eric was dispatched to college in Upstate NY to return to Brooklyn some four years later. Upon graduation from college Eric bounced from job to job until the Graphic Arts caught his creative eye and a new career began. With his first graphics production position under his belt Eric moved in to Manhattan some two years later never to live in Brooklyn again. Success built on success as corporate stints in California brought about even greater successes leading to Eric’s eventual New York City return and the opening of his own Graphics Agency in Manhattan. That enterprise ran successfully for over twenty years. Now out of industry entirely, Eric is happy to enjoy the perpetual Florida sun and write.

Free Book 06/24/2015: Human by Den Holson

By Bargain Book Lover Leave a Comment

zzzHumanSmallerSharp
Human is the story of an inner struggle for understanding and illumination told by the poor sod whose tortured personality it explores. It follows the madcap progress of an unlikely inner-space potholer who eventually discovers truth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be where the mysteries of existence are concerned and ultimately moves out beyond all that (with a little help from his dead mother, a rock legend, a trippy professor, and an infamous scraggy cartoon character).

Allegedly a journey into the would-be mystical heart of the human soul – and the only genuine path to spiritual awakening you’re likely to encounter this side of the great nothingness – Human purportedly charts the trail you need to follow if you genuinely want to find yourself without really trying. Yes – and draws you into the beginnings of the Fictish struggle for world domination; that too.

Fictional, if you want to see it that way – but, then, what isn’t?

With government backing, Chris awkwardly attempts to live up to the heroic image while tagging along on Super missions. Although he may look it and proves slightly capable, Chris knows he can’t keep up the part and decides to quit.
But walking away is the most daring performance in front of him. He stands to lose financial security for his family, a best friend that is also playing sidekick, and a new friend in the form of a Super. Then Chris sees the machinations behind it all.

Kinion Leintz balances the scales of his perfect, valedictorian high school career with a summer of excess that culminates with a trip to a legendary haunted house.

His closest friends are shocked by the turn and drift away from this new side of their once noble leader; while his girlfriend literally cannot put into words her disbelief at his outrageous actions, which in turn separates the couple all too quickly. As Kinion struggles to fulfill his declaration of having the most epic summer ever without his close circle of friends, he pushes his way back into their lives, first with an impromptu party crashing and then a ridiculous fiasco at Starbucks. His old pals want nothing more than the old Kinion to return, but there is one last splash of grandeur he won’t give up on: a legend trip to the House. The local haunted spot has sunk its claws into Kinion’s vanity and he is all too willing to indulge in the possible celebrity status an all-night stay could bring.

Wrapped in themes of fate, justice, and the nature of reality, Nothing Will Come of Nothing pulls you inside its moonlit corridors and doesn’t let go until the first rays of sunlight break on through.

A NOVEL OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

FACE THE WINTER NAKED is a story for today’s struggling economy and unemployed citizens, set in a tragic era when hope was sometimes all they had.

Daniel Tomelin, a battle-worn veteran haunted by the carnage of the First World War, deserts his family in the Great Depression and goes on the road seeking work and relief from PTSD. After leaving his wife and children to cope with a hell he helped create, Daniel wonders if he dares show his face again.

Face the Winter Naked provides an engrossing read in which Turner interweaves history, geography, and a compelling love story. More than that, it is a story that looks beyond the surface, delving into the inner workings of the human mind, a powerful narrative that illuminates larger issues of humanity that are timeless and volatile and just as apropos today as decades ago: War. Political strife. Economic collapse. Environmental catastrophe. Division of families. Cruelty and oppression. Poverty, inequity, and all the faces of prejudice. But it is also about love. And faith. And strength. And hope, forgiveness, and perseverance.
