For John and the other residents of Willow Creek Drive, the breakdown of social order throws them back to the 1800s. As the community tries to come together, a powerful outside force appears that threatens their survival. Will John's years of military and prepping experience be enough to keep them safe?
Mixing tons of useful prepping tips into an action-packed story, Last Stand: Surviving America's Collapse, is a must-read for any fans of survival fiction.

The Girl From Hanoi, by Tom Myers
About the Author
Traveling the world in the US Air Force during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the war in Vietnam meant landing in many exciting locales--some great, some not, and some almost too exotic to survive.
I used the GI Bill to graduate from university with a degree in English and History.
Following graduation, and as always looking for excitement, I moved to Tehran, Iran to work as an analyst focused on the Middle East. When the Shah of Iran's flag started to droop, I returned to the United States to find employment with a major international air carrier. That led to much more travel and enough excitement to satisfy me.

Known Afterlife (The Provider Trilogy), by Trey Copeland
10,000 years ago, the deagrons reigned supreme. If left unchecked, the alien creatures’ insatiable hunger for the life giving Source was certain to obliterate the Provider. Forced to the brink of extinction, man discovered the power to shift the Source, spawning the first race, known then and now, as Guardians. Emergence of the Guardians turned the tide in the fight for survival, vanquishing the Deagron Maker and its spawn, ending thousands of years of unabated carnage. Or so it is believed, for it is recorded in the Deeds.
In the 6,000 years that followed, Citizens attained enlightenment, reincarnating as one of the four races- Guardian, Shifter, Healer or Mystic- and living the Certain Way as decreed by their beloved deity and planet: the Provider. As a present day Guardian, Steffor's role in society remains that of protector, defending Citizens from, while mundane in comparison to the deagrons, the inherent dangers associated with life in perpetual wilderness, coexisting with a myriad of lethal predators. When not serving as a resident hero, Steffor spends his time training for the Dive. Having finally qualified for this year's championship, manifesting his future fame is close at hand. That is, if it were not for the events, long in the coming, manifesting a different future for Steffor and his peaceful society. A future in direct lockstep with destiny.
On Antium, a world ruled by the ancient and merciless Church of Salvation, humankind has all but lost the will to grow, to dream, to aspire for a transcendent existence. Armed with the motive, the technology and the capital means, Stalling Alterian and his cadre of gifted conspirators lead a fertile insurrection against the global theocracy. Committed to saving their society, or die trying, the crucial and final phase of their clandestine mission only moments away from completion, Stalling discovers a fatal error in his calculations that threatens to destroy it all. Absenet of any solution and the enemy rapidly closing in, can Stalling impose his technological miracle onto humanity before the noose pulls tight?
Stalling and Steffor inhabit different worlds, yet they are connected. Together, but unbeknownst to one of them, they race towards an inevitable, if unimaginable collision.
“...grow in spiritual faith while entering the strange and fascinating worlds he has paired, parried and opposed…a heady start and a book with more of a profound level of meaning than we read in other novels in this genre.” Grady Harp, Amazon.com Top 50 Reviewer, Vine Voice, Hall of Fame Reviewer

The Floating Man, by William Crawford
When ‘burned out’ investigative reporter John Hill returns home to take over the Beaufort Sentinel from his friend and mentor, James Campbell, he finds that his friend has literally fallen onto the story of a lifetime. The headline from 1830 screams out at them: Floating Man from France to perform Aerial Stunts this Saturday.
Who was Henri Richaud? An early hot air balloonist . . . or something else? How did he end up on a plantation run by Harriott Pinckney Horry, one of South Carolina’s most famous women? As John and James begin their search for this mysterious friend of Napoleon and protégé of Pierre-Simon Laplace—one of the greatest scientists of all time—they find that virtually all historical references to him have been deleted.
John and James soon enlist the help of John’s former investigative partner, Sheila Jefferson, now a staffer on the National Security Council. Big mistake. While romance ensues, alarm bells go off in a deeply embedded rogue cell of America’s labyrinthine intelligence apparatus. They soon find out that their search for Henri Richaud and the memoirs of the Sentinel’s founder, Robert Campbell, has deadly consequences. For Sheila, an erotic obsession turns violent as agents from the “Program” are dispatched to keep tabs on our trio.
Join John, James, and Sheila, along with a cast of historical characters that includes Napoleon, Andrew Jackson, Chief John Ross of the Cherokee Nation and Harriott Pinckney Horry and the slaves of Hampton Plantation as they try to stay one step ahead of their pursuers in both the past and present.
Floating Man Author Bio
A graduate of Northwestern University, William Crawford began telling stories at the age of five to his cousins late at night while on family vacations in the Great North Woods. This quickly progressed—if you can call two decades quickly progressing— to political satire. In 1996 the author created a parody on the OJ Simpson saga. My Search for the Real Killer, not by OJ Simpson became a minor cult classic. The author’s real ambition was to become a novelist. Over the years he developed several storylines. Once he retired from his safety position in government he turned that ambition into reality. The result is the Floating Man: a mystery thriller that takes place in both past and present.

About the Author
Nadejda Rozanova practices an ancient healing art known as Reiki which she learned in her Russian homeland. Dr. Rozanova has a PhD in Biological science and is also a cancer researcher at the University of California Santa Cruz.
Dr. Rozanova explains that she used something called catalytic therapy on cancer cells in the labortatory, applying extracts of herbs followed by ascorbic acid and copper sulfate. Her work demonstrated that following the introduction of these substances into the cells, a natural process of cell death occurred in the cancer cells, leading to tumor suppression. "After two or three treatments 100 percent of the cancer cells will be dead," says Dr. Rozanova. Next, Dr. Rozanova decided to try using Reiki on the cancer cells in the lab. She gave daily Reiki treatments for two weeks and saw the same process of cell death take place. She believes that both catalytic therapy and energy therapy have a promising future in the fight against cancer. Her latest research had been published:"Catalytic Therapy of Cancer with Ascorbate and Extracts of Medicinal Herbs"
http://ecam.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/nem159and "Catalytic therapy of cancer with porphyrins and ascorbate."http://www.cababstractsplus.org/abstracts/Abstract.aspx?AcNo=20073257408
As a scientist and researcher, she has discovered what many are beginning to take seriously: our health and well being are not only dependent upon what we eat and drink and how much we sleep. Our health and well being are affected by our thoughts and feelings--the mind/body connection.
Another component of this mind/body connection is the electromagnetic field, the life force energy running through and around our bodies. Some call it the aura. In the 1940s another Russian, Semyon Kirlian, developed a technique to photograph this energy. Dr. Rozanova and doctors like her understand that a disruption in the energy field will cause a breakdown in communication between the brain and the body and will cause weakness and disease to have a chance to take hold. Using Reiki, Dr. Rozanova helps to restore the energy to its full potential and can help people's bodies to heal themselves naturally.
Dr. Roznaova explains that Reiki is completely compatible with Western medical treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and medications in general. Reiki supports and enhances all medical treatments. She has worked with cancer patients to reduce the side effects of chemo and has even worked on people whose tumors were diminished by using Reiki prior to their surgeries. She can apply Reiki to any kind of illness, emotional problem or life challenge and clients receive a positive benefit. One advantage to working with Dr. Rozanova is that her clients can learn to use Reiki on themselves and enhance their healing experience.
In this mind/body connection, our life force responds to our thoughts and feelings. Negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves, conscious or unconscious, can disrupt and diminish the energy field and reduce the life-giving functions all the way down to a cellular level in the body. Many people have used affirmations--positive words and thoughts--to re-program their thoughts in a more positive direction. This takes a long time to achieve a good outcome. Dr. Rozanova says that using Reiki, the negative thoughts and feelings are removed very much faster.
About herself, Dr. Rozanova says, "this energy therapy started with my self treatment because I was very ill and I did a lot of conventional therapy, medications. I had a thyroid problem. I tried herbs and homeopathy and then the Russian method of energy therapy. As a scientist it was hard for me to believe this, but I tried it and it worked beautifully. The next step was for me to learn Reiki and I used it on myself and my family. I also used Reiki in my research with cancer cells."
In her Reiki practice in Soquel, Dr. Rozanova offers clients a chance to try a treatment and see if they want to have more. She gives special pricing for people who want a series of sessions and she also teaches self-healing. On occasion she will use a flexible fee structure for those in need. Nadya Rozanova has a strong passion for helping people, for alleviating suffering, and for bringing her skills to more people. She brings the intellect of a scientist and the compassion of a healer to her work and invites people to call her, ask questions and open their hearts to restoration, relaxation, deep healing and a peace.

Author Interview with Richard Wickliffe: "Tropical Windfall"
A Conversation with Richard Wickliffe,
Author of "Tropical Windfall"
 |
| Featured Author, Richard Wickliffe "Tropical Windfall" |
With his second novel due in late 2013, we spoke to Florida-based author Richard Wickliffe to discuss his first crime-thriller, “Tropical Windfall,” which is still a top beach read.
What gave you the idea for "Tropical Windfall?"
My story is about newlyweds who discover cash off the coast of Key West. With the lure of greed, they decide to keep most of it, infuriating the dealers who lost it. In reality, I heard a news story of a couple who found a bag floating off Key West. The “real couple” did the right thing and turned it in. Police were so impressed with their honesty, they allowed them to keep the money if no one claimed it in 90 days. My thought was: wouldn’t the individuals who lost it be angry?
What audience would be attracted to your novel?
I filled the story with things I’m attracted to: Underdogs who find wealth, monstrous bad guys (who the reader would love to see die,) and dark humor. And of course a backdrop of the islands, boats, and at least one hand-shaken margarita shows up in the tale. As for audience? I’d say anyone who enjoys the above, though some scenes and language wouldn’t be suitable for kids. I guess my book would be “Rated R.”
Rated R, like a movie? Do you always think of your writing in terms of movies?
My first love is writing screenplays. “Tropical Windfall” began as a screenplay. In fact, my second novel (due in November) titled “Memories of Holly Woode” is based on my screenplay that was chosen as a nominee on HBO’s Project Greenlight out of 5,000 projects. I guess if I had a choice of careers, it’d be closer to a screenwriter. But any way my story can get out is okay with me.
Have you ever had a screenplay sold as a movie?
One project titled “Storm Crashers” –about hi-tech thieves who attack during hurricane evacuations– has been acquired by 20th Century Fox. A talented screenwriter, Sean O’Keefe, was brought in for the screenplay (now targeted to be titled “Riders on the Storm”) and we have our fingers crossed it’ll be green-lit to be filmed. I own the novel rights and I hope to have Storm Crashers published as we await the movie outcome.
As a Florida Author, you describe very unique locations in “Tropical Windfall.” Are they real places?
Absolutely –one of the many reasons my book is set in the Keys. From Hemingway’s favorite bar, to Blue Heaven that used to have cockfights, to an abandoned bat tower. Even “No Name Key,” which is a real island with no electricity that has been inhabited by dubious residents.
Do you have a unique background that helps with your writing?
Fortunately yes. For nearly 14 years I’ve managed a team of investigators who examine unique white-collar crimes in Florida. Sadly, our state has no lack of outrageous characters and creative crimes. We’ve worked hurricanes, exposed theft rings, even schemes organized by Russian mafia and human smuggling between Miami and Cuba. We have contacts in law enforcement who enjoy discussing the bizarre things they see. I enjoy giving lectures to law enforcement about these schemes, including Navy NCIS and two presentations at the FBI’s InfraGard Counterterrorism seminars. There’s no shortage of colorful stories out there.
*********
Synopsis:
by Richard Wickliffe
A young couple finds a bag containing a fortune off the coast of Key West. In a panic, they report it to authorities -but only half. They're told they can keep the money if no one claims it in 90 days. Confident that dealers will never claim the money, they make plans for their fortune. The furious dealers send assassins to reclaim their money. The couple can't run to the police because they concealed half. The suspense builds as villains create a nightmare for the couple in their supposed paradise.
Imagine every crime cliche turned upside down: The crime boss is the opposite of a typical drug lord. Our intelligent hero is the wife, not her insecure husband. The cops aren't fearless and the good guys have uncertain ethics. The refreshingly-different novel has villains reminiscent of Thomas Harris's "Hannibal Lechter," balanced with satire in the style of Carl Hiaasen. The book depicts criminal violence with mature language and themes.

Author Interview with Garrison Davis: 87 and 8
A Conversation with Garrison Davis,
Author of "87 and 8"
 |
| Featured Author, Garrison Davis "87 and 8" |
Why did you feel you had to tell this story?
For me, it’s almost like I don’t have a choice. The characters and the story and situations stay in my head until I get them out on the paper. For this story, I wanted to tell a superhero story that was not a superhero story. It has characters with abilities, but none of them are “heroes”. They are eight guys, who besides being born in the same year, and having nightmares about roughly the same thing, are all complete opposite. This is not a run to save the day kind of story. It is really like Seven Samurai, plus one, and in modern day Las Vegas.. And that’s something I had never really seen or read before…at least not in a setting like this.
Where do you get your ideas?
Music seems to be the biggest influence to me. The right lyric, rhythm or beat stirs my imagination. That with photographs, a line from a newspaper, or something from the headlines, and the story starts to come.
Do you ever experience writer’s block and how do you overcome it?
The worst form of writers block I have is that I cannot move to the next story I have thought of because I have to finish the one I am currently on. Staying with one idea all the way to the end is a little harder than it would seem. At least to me.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers on the writing and publishing process?
This is a wonderful time. Those ideas of yours can be literally shared with the world. First, you just have to write it. Nobody will read your story unless you write it. Write. Write. Write.
How do you market your work? Have you found some avenues to be more successful than others?
This is my first self published story, so its all experimental. My degree is in film, so the next step is to make a book trailer or short of it.
If your book was made into a movie, who do you picture playing each part?
This story was originally a screenplay, and really reads like a script in some ways, so I’d be lying if I hadn’t thought about some people to play in this. All the characters are around 25-26. Adam Levine of Maroon 5, now being an actor, could really do the main character justice. Armie Hammer, Steven R. McQueen, Ryan Reynolds (though he is older). Donald Glover or Bow Wow. Rapper Wiz Khalifia could definitely do something with it as well.
