In a post 9/11 world, knowledge is power and secretly leveraged knowledge is the most powerful of all.
When two hunters in the woods of Clearwater, Georgia, stumble onto an underground bunker filled with sophisticated information-gathering equipment, the FBI sets up surveillance to discover who has been stealing sensitive national secrets.
As clues point to double-crossing operatives in cahoots with French and Russian agencies, FBI director Russell Norton has no choice but to assign disgraced agent, Jeff Kelley, and a team of green academy trainees to unravel the most destructive foreign intelligence operation in United States history.
Before long, the CIA, NSA and MI6 are involved, and Kelley and his team, along with officials at the highest levels, must scramble to disable foreign data centers and bring to justice an intricate web of conspirators at home and abroad.—Without sparking World War three and setting intelligence back fifty years.
For readers of Tom Clancy, Alex Bernstein and John le Carré, Cable Ties is a slow-burn political thriller that reflects the realities of modern intelligence, law enforcement, department cooperation, and international politics.
The sequel, Cable Pairs, followed by Cable Ways will be available soon.
Bridles Lane (West Country Trilogy #1) by Johanna Craven
About Bridles Lane (West Country Trilogy #1) by Johanna Craven:
Cornwall, England. 1740.
They say only the brave ride Bridles Lane at night.
Vicar Richard Dodge speaks of ghosts and demons, conducting elaborate exorcisms in his churchyard overlooking the lane. And with the villagers sheltering in fear, local smugglers carry their haul up the road to be hidden in the safety of the church.
Isaac and Scarlett Bailey have spent their lives hiding contraband in Talland church. Forced into free trade by their father’s mistakes, they want nothing more than to escape the smuggling syndicate and build a life above the law.
On the other side of Bridles Lane, Flora Kelly has grown up in the shadow of her mother, the village charmer. Sceptical of her mother’s craft, Flora reopens her family’s tavern, determined that her life will not be one of fortune telling and herbal lore.
When a seemingly abandoned ship is wrecked in Talland Bay, it sparks a wave of hysteria among the superstitious villagers. Faith in the vicar wavers and Flora feels herself drawn to the controversial old ways of her mother. Among growing unrest, the mystery of the wrecked ship deepens, unearthing long-forgotten secrets that will tear a village – and a family – apart.

Sexual Awakening
Teenager Cassandra Economos loves five things: Her awesome friends. Her big fat, dysfunctional, Greek family. Rock music. Her plan to move to Chicago. And Kurt Cobain. Soon, she’ll gain another love. Sex. Stifled by her family’s rules, how will Cassie explore her sexuality?
Everything I know about sex I learned from health class diagrams and from reading erotica books I secretly borrowed.
Boys never paid attention to me in middle school. Then it happens. Keith Cook starts a conversation with me. We play Seven Minutes In Heaven, and somehow he’s my boyfriend. My sister tells me he isn’t a great one because he never calls, and he keeps pressuring me do things I’m not ready to do. After Kurt dies, I realize life is short and nothing’s stopping me from having sex with Keith. Except for one thing – he betrays my trust.
That same week, Todd Miller comforts me when I ditch class to mourn Kurt. Todd’s definitely an upgrade from Keith. He listens and can hold an intelligent conversation. He cares about my opinion. And he has a body all the girls drool over.
Our first kiss is mutual. The first time he touches me is mutual. When he pops my cherry, that’s mutual, too, even if I am jail bait. We said we’d wait until I turn 17, but we just couldn’t. We want to be together so badly it hurts. I never feel pressured with Todd. That’s how it’s supposed to be, isn’t it, when a guy cares about you?
Book one in The Rock Star’s Wife series, a series about sex, family, and rock & roll. It contains coarse language, sexual situations and adult themes, and is intended for mature audiences.

Squeeze Plays by Jeffrey Marshall
Squeeze Plays by Jeffrey Marshall
Squeeze Plays takes the reader to an opulent world of penthouses and paneled boardrooms in New York, where the head of a publishing empire who has risen far above his talents is facing a serious financial shortfall – and his banker isn’t about to give him a leg up.
The chairman of Star Enterprises, Winston Crumm, is the captain of his own ship, though he is never the one actually piloting it. When he steps in to save his family’s newspaper business, he gets his company into bed with a shady Russian oligarch without the knowledge of anyone else on the board.
When the Whitehall Banking Group pulls the loan that Star Enterprises has been living on, Winston Crumm needs to do something to save his pocketbook. The easy road arrives in the form of Maxim Ripovsky, a London-based billionaire who offers $20 million, the exact amount of the Whitehall loan. Ripovsky’s terms for this investment are mildly bizarre, but seem perfectly tolerable to the desperate Winston.
Unbeknownst to Winston, Ripovsky is working his own scheme to get on the board of Whitehall by blackmailing their CEO. Meanwhile, Bob Mandell, a Financial Times reporter catches the scent of the mysterious investment that saved Star Enterprises and begins to uncover Ripovsky’s many shell corporations and their questionable investments, putting Winston’s company once again at risk.
Along the way, the reader encounters sexual and financial blackmail, a break-in intended to quash Mandell’s story, and the places and people in the lives of the ultra-privileged. It also uses the author’s background as a financial journalist to bring to life the investigative reporter’s probe into the loan, the shell companies and the secretive investment.
SQUEEZE PLAYS is a financial espionage novel of 67,000 words. It uses wit and an insider’s experience with financial journalism to explore the underhanded agreements and suspect motives of investors and desperate men.

She’s dead-set on giving everything to the war overseas …
Even if it means losing everything in a war of the heart.
A street orphan abused and abandoned by an alcoholic father at age five, Gabriella (Gabe) O’Connor has never let a man stand in her way yet. So when a handsome flight officer thwarts her plans to become a WASP— Women Air Force Service Pilot — she’s determined to join the war effort anyway she can. Her chance comes when she “borrows” foreign correspondent credentials from the Boston Herald—where her father is the editor—to stow away on a medical ship to the front.
Lieutenant Alex Kincaid pegs Gabe O’Connor as trouble the moment she steps foot on Avenger Field as a WASP cadet. As the eldest brother of a boy whose jaw Gabe broke in grade school, Alex is familiar with her reputation as both a charismatic ringleader and a headstrong hooligan who’s challenged every male and nun from grade school to college. As her WASP flight instructor, Alex eventually expels Gabe when she pulls a dangerous stunt. But when he is an evacuation pilot in France eight months later, their lives intertwine once again, exposing them to a danger as perilous as the German tanks roaming the Reichswald Forest: a love that neither expects.

About Mules; Masters & Mud: The Continuing Story of The Quarry Bank Runaways by G J Griffiths:
“If you want to understand why Peterloo took place read this book.”
“I adore the rich, evocative regional dialects and brogue in this novel. Kudos to Griffiths…”
What measures success or failure when you come from the workhouse? Mules; Masters & Mud is about what happened to our two cotton mill apprentices, the Quarry Bank runaways, during the Industrial Revolution. It tells their story as qualified young mule spinners with future hopes, and later when they are full grown. By the start of the Victorian period the fates and their ambitions would have collided. Serious events and incidents, personal and national, including the Peterloo Massacre, were about to impinge upon the lives of Thomas Priestley and Joseph Sefton. What would cause a qualified mule spinner to give up his comparatively safe job and risk failure, ridicule or destitution? Ambitious and determined working class individuals like Tommy and Joe had to carefully step through a pathway involving love and loyalty; persecution and prejudice, from within the social hierarchy of the times.
