Life Seemed Good, But...

I am an author and this is my first and only book. Started in 2004 as therapy when my wife got leukemia (in remission now) and we were laid off from our jobs shortly after that. It is a collection of over 90 short funny intelligent stories that poke fun at everything. I am donating from my proceeds to cancer research. I need reviews to help get the word out. This is a very unique book as you will see. Free preview and reviews online at Amazon and Smashwords.

Richard, let's make a R4R on here for your book!

Sword Against the Robe

On the first Monday of April 1625, in Paris, Monsieur Charles d'Avaloy, a lieutenant in Louis XIII's Guard, suddenly finds himself mixed up in some high intrigue. Other than duels (which, admittedly, he has done quite often, and for a long time), the soldier normally keeps away from public life as much as possible. So, why, all of a sudden, does somebody want him dead? And, whoever it is, is willing to set assassins at his heels to make sure that the job gets done right ... Again, dueling other soldiers for honor is one thing, but assassination attempts are quite another! Within a single evening, not only is this man's life turned completely upside-down, but in order to keep this matter as hushed as possible, several other men have already been murdered – one of them just for attempting to warn him!

To top things off, and on this same eerie evening, Monsieur d'Avaloy's brother, who's a priest, happens to also visit – mysteriously, after nine years of them being separated – to warn him to turn away from a life of the sword, else it will be his undoing! Even though the priest admits that he knows nothing of these sudden attempts upon his brother's life, the soldier does begin to wonder if the man's presence and words are a prophesy, or just a weird coincidence. Is God truly, and through these strange occurrences, trying to sway the solider away from his violent lifestyle? That is, since he has killed every single man with whom he has dueled? Or – and, as the soldier also begins to think – is God only besetting him with these current, horrible things to finally destroy him in the name of justice? Whatever's happening, will Monsieur d'Avaloy turn away from his life of violence and accept a life of priestly robes – since he feels that this is the real reason for his brother's visit? Or, will he end up dying by the sword, since he has been living by the Sword? ... Even though the priest assures him that his visit is only to give him peace within his heart (because, since his youth, the soldier has suffered horribly from deep depression – a result of the daily thrashings from his supposed Christian father), and to tell him that by accepting faith in God, and of stopping all the violence, that it will finally set him at liberty ... But, after everything is said and done, what will the end results be? Will the swordsman, through all of these events, find out that these circumstances, which have finally caught up with him, truly are the results of his life of the sword as opposed to a life of faith? Or, rather, the difference of having peace in one's heart who wears the priestly robes, as opposed to the violent, disturbing lifestyle of those who fiercely wield a blade? In other words, perhaps his has been a life of a sword against the robe!

Outcast (Wiltshire University Book 1)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Winning her class's full ride scholarship to Wiltshire University was supposed to be a game changer for Cali. After all, Wiltshire is the college to get into; made even more so by being the only college that no one has been able to buy, er donate, their way into. A degree from Wiltshire guarantees the recipient open doors to virtually anything, so Cali was beyond stoked when her admission letter arrived; you know, after a call to the registrar to make sure she wasn't part of a Punked reboot, and even if attending Wiltshire meant leaving behind her two best friends, Sawyer and Zane, whom she had all but been attached to at the hip since pre-pre-K.

That was before Cali's only friends were the ladies who swiped her ID card in the dining hall, if you could call conversations that consisted of "Next." "Hi! Me. Sorry, I had my ID just a second ago. Really hot out there today huh? Ok, well, thanks. Have a nice day!" friendships. Before Cali was lying to and avoiding her oldest friends. Before Cali some how managed to get herself evicted from her dorm. Before someone started leaving her taunting voicemails on her ancient land line and creepy 80's doll trading cards stashed around her room. Before she ran into Tanner in the isolated underground tunnel of Wiltshire's historic bell tower during a messed up scavenger hunt on a night that would change everything.

Outcast is the first book in the new Wiltshire University series; a New Adult/Young Adult slow burn reverse harem.

WAND is a revolutionary new medical tool that cures diseased tissues in human beings without the use of drugs or surgery. Ten years in design and production, the technology has a 95% success rate in curing most forms of cancer in animals and human beings. 

The brainchild of 48 year old Harvard Medical School graduate, Clyde Daniel, WAND (Wave-Altering-Nanoparticle-Disrupter) is going to move the profession of medicine out of the dark ages and into something that closely resembles science fiction. That is, unless the pharmaceutical industry, which stands to lose billions of dollars in lost drug revenues, can intervene with its hired assassins and destroy the technology and its team of creators before it ever has a chance to see the light of day. 

The Target List is my most recent novella. Published in June, 2019, the story was written to entertain its readers, but also to educate them about certain issues affecting all healthcare consumers worldwide.

https://www.amazon.com/Target-List-Dr...

The Target List is scheduled to be released as an audiobook on Audible in September, 2019. Free promotional copy codes are available to readers interested in providing an honest review.

Today is World Teacher Day, and it is only fitting that we take a moment to appreciate Cali's Latin Professor, Professor Bábka:

"Professor Bábka chuckled, his chocolate brown eyes sparkling with amusement. I couldn’t help but notice he was attractive for an older guy. He wasn’t old-old like some of my professors. If I had to guess, he was in his late twenties or early thirties with a lean build and sprinkles of grey through his mousy brown hair. He was cute in that academic sort of way, not that I was checking him out; being my professor and all that would be totally wrong, and I totally hadn’t noticed his attractiveness. Nope."

To read more about Professor Bábka and see how he fits into Cali's life pick up your copy of Outcast from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Google Play Books.

Author Post:
I just released the 2nd book of a series about Egypt during the life of Cleopatra. She's only 15, and Caesar doesn't show up for another 6 yrs, so it's not velvety romance. Historically, this is when she starts to rule.

The books are humorous historical fiction in a world where men do the grunt work and women call the shots. Ancient Egypt is perfect for this, since women enjoyed more control of their lives at that time than women up until the US 1950's.

54BC:
Cleopatra is wrestling with a bankrupt empire, in large part due to her father. She drafts two talented scribes for a mission to Kush, 2000 miles up the Nile, manipulates an embezzling Roman tax collector, bends the loyalties of 2500 Roman soldiers, and, anticipating a Roman civil war, reaches out to Caesar in Gaul ... playing both sides of a diplomatic game. She's got her own issues as well. It's not a cakewalk for her scribes either.

There's a lot of serious stuff going on, but it's not "Game of Thrones" ... it's more like "Scrubs". No larger-than-life heroic figures, just real people stumbling into comic situations just trying to get by.

53-52 BC:
Cleopatra got some temporary operating funds, but the empire is still struggling just to find operating expenses, leave alone the tremendous debts her father incurred. She re-institutes state sponsored tombing robbing, while meddling in Roman domestic affairs and marriages, hoping to establish diplomatic support. Take a tour of some tombs in the Valley of Kings, while you witness the possible foundations of organized tourism, fast-food franchises, sports betting ... and the chicken dance.

Not for the kiddies, not "young Cleopatra" ... adult situations and humor.

Don't commit. "Look Inside" butchered my indentation. Download clean .pdf's of the same text from my website. Pass them around. Please? I didn't want to break posting rules, but my website is easy to find. Just Google my complete name.
