Tommy Morris was medically discharged from the US Air Force after numerous tours in the Middle East as a decorated Pararescue turned sniper. Overcome by nightmares and PTSD he seeks counseling and on his road to recovery, takes a clandestine job as a Finisher for the Harris County DA's office. The adrenaline and fantastic money lead him directly into the dark folds of Houstons human traffickingTommy Nguyen Morris was raised in a deeply structured Catholic home for boys, hating every minute of it and as soon as he was able to leave, he joined the Air Force. Rising rapidly through the ranks, he is commissioned as an officer and completes the three year program to become a pararescue officer and due to his exemplary marksmanship earns the coveted sniper badge.Born of a Green Beret Special Forces black father and a half-Caucasian/ half Vietnamese mother, both of which died when he was very young, he is often mistaken as to his race. He has a long, muscled, and much bullet-scarred torso and with his naturally peculiar looks attracts attention from women wherever he goes.Seeking help to deal with his nightmares from Iraq and Afghanistan, he enlists the help of the Veterans Administration and is assigned a retired female Army Colonel. In the interest of mending his broken mind, she suggests he find employment with an old friend of hers who is the District Attorney for Harris County, Texas and also a ex-Special Forces soldier.The money is very attractive to the ex-pararescue Captain and the mission he is offered is taking the fight to the Human Traffickers who operate with near impunity. Each completed mission reaps incredible sums of dirty tax free money and being briefed about his targets makes killing them almost a public service. The trouble with operating outside of the law is the distinction between right and wrong becomes blurred. It is an almost near perfect life for Tommy. Almost.
"In the dark we found them..."The Roots grow into the Earth. Unseen conduits of Power, growing through the darkness of the void; walkways for malevolent, eldritch things to travel, connecting their dead worlds to ours. In this collection of nine short stories and novelettes, you will find tales of unfathomable predators, cosmic gods, dark magic, and the people who cross their path: from archaeologists, long on the search for the find of the century, ensnared by a being beyond their understanding, to a man who notices a detail on a wall in his house for the first time, unwittingly inviting the attention of a malefic force from beyond the stars.The Roots Grow Into the Earth consists of nine of Bert S. Lechner's previously published works, including three stories available as standalone eBooks on Amazon Kindle: Interstate, the Wall, and Joanne's Vault.
From 2011 to 2020, Bert S. Lechner was emotionally and psychologically abused by a romantic partner. This is the collection of poems he wrote to help him navigated the guilt, shame, anger, and loss that he encountered after escaping that relationship. It is a journey of survival, healing, and, over time, thriving after an extended period of trauma.

With drop dead gorgeous Jasmine from Laguna Beach you never know what will happen next and every date is truly an adventure. Funny as hell with characters that feel completely real and you won't read a better coming of age story about teenage angst and first love than this one. What readers are saying: "Great Story...I really enjoyed this book. It pulled you in from the first and kept you interested through out. It was well written and made you feel like you were there. The story and the characters were great too. I recommend this author and this book to all." "Stayed up until 3 am reading this...I SO wanted to finish the book last night but only made it until 3 am. It's hard to believe that this is the author's first novel, it's that good. I thought the character development, in part using their taste in music, was enjoyably clever. Reading about Colin's struggles brought back a lot of memories of college. First loves, betrayals, loneliness, friendship, happiness and growing through adversity are such big parts of the those years of our lives...Great book "

When Joe Polito was a kid growing up in Somerville, it was a blue collar, family oriented and insular kind of town. It had it's own set of values - some good, some not so good. But if you were brought up here, for better or worse, they became part of you. In high school Danny Donohue had been one of Joe Polito's best friends, but Joe hadn't seen him or spoken to him in 15 years - not since an arson fire killed Danny's mother and he ran from the horror to a new life in California. When Danny walks into the Old Town Tavern and asks Joe to help him find whoever set that fire, Joe cannot say no. But, even after 15 years, Joe knows Danny. He can tell that Danny's not right; he's hiding something. Danny says that solving the 15 year-old mystery will free him from his tragic past, but Joe knows that's only part of it. Solving the crime will mean nothing unless Joe can uncover Danny's secrets and help him redeem his future. In Somerville, that's what friends do.
Laura had touched many lives as she was living her dream, but she had lived it alone, and voices were now reminding her that even bigger dreams might lie just beyond the horizon. Robert's own dreams had been shattered, and he found himself lost and alone in the darkness, a darkness which he did not understand and from which he could not escape. From their very different lives and from inspirations as unique as the worlds from which they had come, their searches for purpose and light lead them to the Rhine. On an iconic journey through the heart of Europe, they pass castles and cathedrals, and deep valleys and hillsides covered in vineyards: truly a fairy tale setting. But their journey is no fairy tale. Each tributary along the way and bend in the river brings magnificent vistas and even greater opportunities, but also brings conflict and choices. Which fork to take? Stay in the smooth water or risk the rapids? Beneath the quiet surface of the water lay real life, and Laura and Robert find more on their voyage than they could ever have imagined...or dreamed for. Their voyage of discovery reveals the truth that always lies beneath: Whether our journeys are marked by smooth sailing on calm waters or we have found ourselves blown far from our intended course, we never take those journeys alone.

I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others-First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, 14:19 (NASB) For nearly 150 years, scholars have puzzled over a mysterious artifact found in the ruins of Pompeii. In The Secret Gospel of Jesus, Bert P. Regan reveals the true origin and meaning of the five Latin words inscribed on the 2,000-year-old artifact. The Secret Gospel of Jesus is a compelling nonfiction book about an enigmatic artifact known as the Sator Square, the Rotas Square or the Magic Square. The author maintains that the artifact contains a direct and authentic message from Jesus himself, and that the inscription on the artifact embodies the heart of Jesus' teaching.The Sator Square is perhaps the earliest Christian document ever produced. Is the Catholic Church, or any other Christian denomination, aware of the Sator Square? Can the artifact and its message be found in the Bible? Why is the inscription written in Latin? Was the meaning of the Sator Square lost over time, or was it deliberately concealed?Bert Regan spent more than a decade rigorously poring over archaeological records, the Bible, and ancient Christian documents written by the early Church Fathers.Regan's research suggests that the enigma of the Sator Square has been carefully concealed under secret rules, from the time of the apostles to the present day.Regan is convinced that his shocking discovery deserves to be shared with the general public, especially as fear and division are so prevalent in the world today. The author also holds that the artifact features in St. Malachy's end times Prophecy of the Popes-a prophecy that the Roman Catholic Church apparently takes very seriously. The Secret Gospel of Jesus will appeal to those with an interest in Biblical archaeology, secret codes, unsolved mysteries, prophecies, Christian mysticism, and religious and spiritual books. It will deeply resonate with Christians of all denominations. After reading Bert Regan's explosive book, you may never view Christianity and its foundation the same way again.
