In Johnny Spicer's fourth novel-length caper, H. P. Oliver's irreverent Hollywood private eye goes to war. Days before the US enters WWII, Spicer is called back to active duty with his old outfit, the Army's Military Intelligence Division.But Major Spicer's war isn't being fought in Europe or on remote islands in the south Pacific. No, his war is on homeland soil against enemies who don't wear uniforms or wave flags. There are no tanks rumbling through the streets of L A or ships lobbing shells at the Golden Gate from 20 miles out at sea. Still, Spicer knows full well his war is just as deadly as the battlefields of France or the Philippines.Spicer's assignment: Hunt down a pair of Nazi espionage agents before they can deliver a top-secret Navy gizmo they've stolen to the Fatherland. Succeeding at his mission will save thousands of lives. Failure could help Hitler win the ultimate victory in Europe.Desperate to get out of the US with their prize, the Nazis spies lead Spicer on a wild ride from Los Angeles' sprawling harbor to a tiny, secluded bay on California's rugged northern coast. Along the way Spicer flies smackdab into history aboard a B-17, takes a harrowing voyage with the US Coast Guard, and helps sink a German submarine from a Navy blimp. Yeah, a blimp.S.N.A.F.U.* is a well-crafted mystery/thriller that puts you squarely in the thick of things and keeps you guessing whether or not Spicer can outsmart the evil enemies of democracy-a page-burner to the very end.*S.N.A.F.U. is a World War II military acronym for "Situation Normal, All Fouled Up."

First book in the S.O.S. series: Bri's voice remained steady. "I'm pretty sure I've seen enough TV and read enough books to know you bounty hunter types tuck blades into your boots." "Bounty hunters?" Del's face registered amusement. "Is that what you think we are?" He took a few steps forward. "I hate to correct you, but search and rescue is our job," he told her. "We find and we save. Period" "Well pardon me for not wanting to be found and saved," she hissed. "She's got you there." A blond, unsmiling giant planted himself next to Del. "And," he pulled up his pant leg to reveal a knife, "she's dead on about the blades." *** Tequila shots left him murky. Did he bed the beautiful stranger or pull an epic fail? He'll find out. She's kidnapped, and Del's been hired to find her. Brina Capadella knows all about rich, entitled men. Even if Delancourt Songen doesn't fit the stereotype, can he be trusted? What if he's part of the plot against her? She could easily turn up, dead.

Diplodocus Press
2013
nidottu
S.P. Somtow's novel The Stone Buddha's Tears was inspired by a real-life incident in 1991 in which the city of Bangkok, about to host an international conference, decided to throw up a corrugated iron fence around a slum in order to conceal it from the passing delegates. In this fantasy novel of innocence and hope, the lives of two boys from opposite ends of the social spectrum intersect because of the wall. The protagonist, a beggar known only as "Boy", meets a novice monk whose father, a corrupt politician, has sent him to a monastery in order to provide a picture-perfect photo-op for his election campaign. Between them the two boys concoct a team of street kids, tazi drivers and elephant herders in a wild plan to bring down the adult world's dark alliance between organized crime and politics. The Stone Buddha's Tears is a powerful story about friendship, class and society, and the power of children of speak the truth in a world in which adults have forgotten how.

A story of redemption and unconventional love.Leighlin Plantation offers Edward Ketch a new life, an opportunity to forsake his violent, troubled past and become a man worthy of respect and trust. But when a slave named Isabelle arrives, Ketch is drawn into a turbulent relationship that threatens the very peace he has struggled to attain.Isabelle has her own desires for a fresh start, but scurrilous gossip about her past undermines those hopes. She struggles to be accepted by Leighlin's other slaves and hopes marriage to a popular man will aid her cause. But her situation worsens when her husband becomes abusive. She discovers, however, one unlikely ally-Ketch, who is as much an outcast among Leighlin's white population as she is among her people.A stranger to love, Ketch cannot recognize the true feelings that draw him to Isabelle. To rescue her from the dangers of her marriage, he risks losing not only his position at Leighlin but the affections of the woman he strives to save.Set against the backdrop of 17th century Carolina, The Driver's Wife explores the lives and relationships, from Big House to slave settlement, of those who labored upon the wilderness plantations near Charles Town. Rice cultivation and the task system of slavery provide a much different landscape from the aristocratic Old South of cotton plantations and gang labor familiar to most modern-day readers. The Driver's Wife is a tale of the transcendent power of love.

Inspiring, Motivating & Thought Provoking. Greatness lies within many of our fellow brothers and sisters. The problem is we tend to find ourselves incarcerated before we discover this greatness. Our thought patterns and consistent inability to think on a positive level leads us straight to prison. Thought is a critical component to one's success, failure, and survival. Every decision we make on a daily basis requires thought. If not, many actions will be done through impulse, emotion or fear. And impulsive behavior tends to bring about situations from which one needs to be rescued. Think of a preteen, teenager, or young adult, all of whom can possess the impulsive behaviors of children. If the impulses are not tamed or controlled, the behavior patterns will present themselves in each stage of life. Maybe this is the reason many 40-year-olds can be seen with a lack of self-control or the ability to deal with some of life's simplest problems. They cannot face situations from a professional, calm, and diplomatic standpoint. S.T.O.P. was written as a self-help guide to help promote a greater positive thinking process - a thinking process I believe will slow down the recidivism rate within our communities. This will mean that more fathers will be available in the household, more parents around to pass down the guidance that will enable young boys to become men. Men who will stand accountable for their decisions and the direction of their community. As a man, I ask all men to join together and help rebuild what many of us helped destroy. It starts with you. It starts with me. No outside force can aid this cause until the aid is given from within. A better future is literally in our hands. It is my intent that the following ten chapters will provide enlightenment and force all of us to S.T.O.P. - Start Thinking Outside Prison
