About Abundantly Clear: Secrets And Lies Disguised As A Perfect Couple (Midlife Secrets):

On the surface, Beatrice has it all—three angelic children, her ideal job, the house of her dreams and an even dreamier husband.

But when poor communication at work causes professional problems, she discovers such issues with communication extend to her personal life too. With that, she embarks on a journey of self-improvement and sets off from Dublin to the windy west coast of Ireland.

However, the Atlantic sea air seems to play tricks with her mind, as does a local friendly fisherman who delights in charming her. And the more time she spends with him, the more her career and once solid marriage begin to suffer.

Beatrice battles to hold on to her job, save her marriage and avoid spiralling further into a midlife crisis. And when she’s faced with the prospect of losing everything, can she find the strength within to communicate and make her true feelings abundantly clear?

HOBOMAN – THE HIGHMAN CUT

About HOBOMAN – THE HIGHMAN CUT:

“Isn’t that the superhero code? ‘Help everyone, including the douchebags’?”

Hobart Mann didn’t ask for the superhero life. In fact, it was thrust upon him by a woman who may or may not be the physical manifestation of his conscience. But when his trolley is stolen, Hobart must take on the alias of ‘Hoboman’ and definitely needs to engage in beating people up and damaging property in order to retrieve it. Really, there’s no other way.

Hoboman is joined on his epic quest to save his trolley – when he remembers to focus for more than two minutes – by his long-lost Irish relative, an American country singer, and a potato-human abomination. Hoboman is about to learn that when your parents rob an ASIS agent’s house and accidentally make a covenant with God for your child to save Heaven, sometimes you have to pull up your big-boy trousers and go to the pub instead.

Southpaw by Dennis Sweeney

About Featured Book: Southpaw by Dennis Sweeney

There seemed to be a huge gaping hole inside of me. I wanted some answers but didn’t know where to look. I felt like there was a huge worldwide conspiracy afoot to keep me in a state of utter confusion, making me so numb that I had no choice but to give up and let the experts get on with it. What a wonderful thing democracy is. You can say what you want as long as you do as you’re told. It all seemed so superficial, so inadequate. Where would it all lead? Lying in some hospital bed in thirty years’ time, dying of some ‘disease of civilization’; up to my neck in debt, alcoholism, depression, loneliness and insanity.

There had to be more to life than this.I am talking about liberation here. Freedom from the bondage of self. Freedom from our blinkered, prejudiced, opinionated thoughts. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got. The more stoned I got, the more abstract yet somehow meaningful it all became. We were one and the same. I was he. He was me. That bald little Chinese monk on TV was beckoning me to follow the path, the way of the warrior, the way of the Grasshopper. The monk was right; change was the natural way of the universe. Things were not always as they appeared to be. A young Scottish boxer breaks away from the shackles of his environment, only to find himself mixed up with heroin smuggling in Asia. A story of violence, prison, fear and desperation, which leads to inner reflection and finally redemption.

About The Gilded Age Promise: Kopp Chronicles:

The promise of the Gilded Age evokes a worldwide exhilarating time of technological advancement and economic expansion. American society is transforming from focusing on small rural farms to an urban one dominated by large corporations resulting in even more inequality between the wealthy and middle-class. Discriminatory segregation and immigration laws enacted by misguided and corrupt political leaders threaten to tarnish the American dream. Nevertheless, charismatic American women activists are generating a renewed impetus for women’s rights through the alcohol temperance and women’s suffragette movements.
Meanwhile, turmoil in the Middle East forces the dashing British military intelligence agent, Richard Cordwell, to come out of retirement and embark on a secret mission for Her Majesty’s government. He encounters the beautiful French spy who stole his heart, and makes an astounding personal revelation!
Buffeted by these Gilded Age events, an immigrant American family is determined to stand firm in their belief in the hope, freedom, and opportunity, of their adopted country. The words written by poet Emma Lazarus on the plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty express this belief:
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Uncle Henry’s Hacienda

About Uncle Henry’s Hacienda:

Throughout his life, Henry Anderson, born in 1891, had one dream: to own a cattle ranch in Mexico with a beautiful hacienda. Initially, he faced obstacles, but he fought furiously to win a speed typing competition in record time. With perseverance and a cool head, Henry used his prize money to invest in the oil business.
From a small farm in rural South Texas to a dusty border town in Arizona, Henry then moved to California, his finances affluent. He experienced the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in the 1920s; however, high life soon came crashing down. No wife, no child, no money and no status. Everything was gone! His only option was the uncertain life of a prospector in the mountains of Northern Mexico.
Henry’s story includes periods of great success and abject failure as he continued to follow his dream, from mining gold, getting caught up in a Marxist revolt and suffering torture by the Mexican Federales, to rekindling his past in South Texas, where the most unexpected revelation occurred. No matter the financial or psychological torment, even in his old age, he never faltered in his search for that elusive hacienda.

The Ship of State: Book One by Richard P. Ley

The Ship of State: Book One by Richard P. Ley

Can the president, a conservative ex-business executive with no political experience, navigate the shark-infested waters of Washington, DC?

President Donald Burlington’s party doesn’t support him, his wife of 23 years has just filed for divorce, and his country is falling apart from within. Both parties and the entire political establishment are eager to take him down because he is trying to eliminate the way the Federal government caters to special interests and emboldens entrenched career politicians to gain and maintain their political power.

Meanwhile, his trusted assistant, Nicole, grows concerned by the president’s fascination with an international film star. Little does he know that the love of his life might be closer than he imagines.

While trying to lead the nation and the free world, President Burlington must deal with contentious policy issues, foreign crises, terrorism, political enemies, and his own personal issues. He’s dedicated to keeping his campaign promises, and he’s not going to go down without a fight, but the water is murky and sharks bite.

Featuring interesting characters and providing conservative solutions to real issues facing us today, this believable political fiction is what the world needs right now. If you enjoyed the movie, The American President or the hit TV series, The West Wing, you’ll love The Ship of State.

*Note: The original title, Escape from Serfdom, was published in 2014, well before Donald Trump hit the national political stage, and has been “bigly” revised and expanded into books one and two of The Ship of State series.

Tales of American Idiocy by P.R. Infidel

About Featured Book: Tales of American Idiocy by P.R. Infidel

“Soon the humans will all wear muzzles and be chained to their homes by their great glowing boxes!”

This announcement by Chester stopped the meeting of the pets of Sunnyside Street cold. Not that they were surprised by the neighborhood conspiracy cat. Chester was full of odd ideas, most of which he announced at inopportune moments.

Chester would turn out to be right about COVID, but he is just one of many Orwellian critters and supernatural shorts populating these Tales of American Idiocy, a darkly humorous collection of short stories commemorating the early 2020’s. Here you’ll find President Brandon’s sketch election. Dwight the alligator will fight forced COVID injections. Delilah the deer’s own “Dr. Foxi,” gets his just deserts, and Black Lizards definitely Matter.

Will Chester and friends’ warnings make repeating the early 2020s unthinkable?

If you like clever allegories, not-so-crazy conspiracies’, and darkly humorous satire, you’ll love Tales of American idiocy, a work Bookviral calls: “A cuttingly Allegorical Read!”
