The Joe Mack Adventures Volume 1

by Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Roaring 20's Monster Hunter 

When you ask a god for favors, be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

From the bloody steel mill strikes of Pennsylvania rose a true man of steel, a steelworker transformed into something more by the power of the old gods. Josef Magarac was a brave man, a strong man, a hard-working immigrant who only wanted a better life for his family. Then he was murdered, and an ancient Slavic god brought him back to life, gave him new abilities, and a mission to protect those who can’t protect themselves.

Now he’s Joe Mack, and together with his allies, Secret Service agent Jack West and heiress Sarah Grace McAllen Harringworth, he handles the hard cases the regular feds won’t touch like magic-wielding mobsters, Lovecraftian monsters, and secret supernatural societies.

The Joe Mack Adventures: Volume One is a non-stop thrill ride full of paranormal action, found family, dark magic, and loyal friends.

This is a collection of four books in the Joe Mack Shadow Council Files by award-winning author team Gail Z. & Larry N. Martin, authors of the Spells, Salt, & Steel and the Wasteland Marshals series. The Shadow Council Case Files are historical fantasy novellas set in the world of Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter, that tell the true stories behind the tall tales surrounding some of the world’s most famous (and infamous) folk heroes.

This collection includes Cauldron, Black Sun, Chicagoland, and Spellbound.

A Dream Walker Novel Book 5

by Michelle Miles

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal 

The final battle between Heaven and Hell is coming – and I'm at the heart of it.

As I begin my final quest for the last Holy Relic, the Ark of the Covenant, things take an unexpected turn. Kincade is forced to return to the Brotherhood of Watchers and must face the consequences for breaking their laws and assisting me in my search.

Putting the quest on hold, I track down the Brotherhood to find him. My rescue fails, however, when The Knights of the Holy Lance steal my DNA in order to create more super dream walkers. I'm determined now more than ever to destroy them.

When I once more resume my hunt for the Ark, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are unleashed, spreading their reign of terror across countries. The world is now plagued by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other disasters.

Lucifer has won.

Or has he?

As we both scramble to obtain the ancient artifact, the ultimate war between good and evil looms before us. The battle for the fate of mankind comes down to me and those brave souls willing to stand against the darkness.

With the fate of all creation on the line, a final sacrifice will be demanded. But will the true nature of love and loyalty be enough to save me?

I am eighty-one now and still learning! As I look back over the years, I wonder what ten-year-old Kathryn (me) would think if she could see our life in advance. Kathryn, I think you would have been pleased and I am going to enjoy my conversation with you every step of the way. I want to share my learnings, musings, and stories with you. Kathryn, let me bring you up to date. It is hard to believe seventy-one years have gone by since I was your age.

Kathryn, I don’t mean to imply that life is perfect now or that I no longer have upsets. Being able to ask myself, “Who do I want to be in this situation?” and having some learnings to turn to have been powerful for me.  And so at 81 years of age it is important to me to share those learnings hoping they will be found helpful to those between your(my) age at 10 and my age today.

The Concert by Lawson McDowell A Sale Blitz

 

Young Adult

Date Published: February 2023

 

 

In the heat and oilfields, John and his pals believe a rock concert is the answer to their discontent, never realizing the trip will transform them forever—if they survive it.

In 1966, John Pierce and his friends are discontented teens shackled by life in a West Texas oilfield boomtown. As they swelter in summer heat amid thousands of oil wells, desperation creeps in.

When news of an electrifying rock concert captures their hearts, they leave on a quest for music, girls, and self-indulgence. No one warned them about the nightmarish occurrences they could face on their dream trip.

Based on a true adventure in an out-of-the-ordinary setting, THE CONCERT is an unforgettable exploration of friendships and dangers looming along the stepping stones to adulthood.

 

About the Author

Lawson McDowell was almost born in the backseat of a Buick, but after a wild ride through the wheat fields near Dodge City, Kansas, they arrived at the hospital in the nick of time. That was in 1950. It seems Lawson has been in a hurry ever since.

When he was five, his family moved to Texas, establishing roots in the small town of Andrews, where his father worked in the oil industry. Lawson grew up with rattlesnakes, cowboys, and roustabouts in the rough-and-tumble oil boom years of the 50s and 60s.

After graduation from Texas Tech University, Lawson went to work for Southern Pacific Railroad. He advanced through the ranks, eventually leading operations in Los Angeles, Tucson, and Kansas City. At the corporate level, he served as director of safety in Denver and, for a time, chaired the Association of American Railroads Safety Section in Washington. D. C.

Lawson attended executive classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While MIT upgraded his skills, he developed a love for Boston and the Red Sox.

After serving many years as Director of Network Operations for Union Pacific, Lawson is now enjoying retirement with his greatest passion, his wife, Virginia. You can contact Lawson through his website at www.LawsonMcDowell.com
