CRYSTAL BIRCH by Jessie A. McPeeke

Marty McPherson wakes up a prisoner under interrogation after a top-secret mission goes horribly wrong. As he suffers through long days of torture, and is eventually sent to work in a foreign country as slave labor, the only thing that keeps Marty sane are the strange, fleeting visions he has of his wife. Having never been sure their psychic connection was real, Marty doesn't know whether to believe Katy is communicating with him, or if he is only seeing what he so desperately wants to see---the beautiful face of his loving and faithful wife, waiting for him to come home.
When Marty is unexpectedly rescued and brought home to Alaska in secrecy, the couple is reunited, but their troubles are only beginning. Disturbing questions plague them about Marty's rescue, and they have every reason to believe someone may want both of them dead. To make things worse, the faithful couple now struggles with understanding the suffering that Marty has gone through during his imprisonment, and are having a hard time coming to grips with the realization that they may, indeed, have a psychic link---one that can do far more than just allow each other to visit their dreams...

REDTAIL HEART: THE LIFE AND LOVE OF A TUSKEGEE AIRMAN by Kenneth W. Williams

Chris’ search for meaning leads him directly to his expatriate uncle, Roy Lankster, a decorated member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Nearly 50 years earlier, Roy’s P 51 Mustang fighter plane crashed in France in the lead up to WWII’s D-Day invasion. Broken, battered and barely alive, he’s rescued by Marie Renoir, a member of the French Resistance'. Their courage in the face of the ever present danger of capture is only overshadowed by a love between them so powerful that it rivals the first and greatest love in human history. The raging war, synthetic insanity, and the unassigned immoral forces of the universe conspire to tear them apart.
Chris, through Roy’s writings, relives his uncle’s relentless struggle to reunite with his love for the ages, and embarks himself on a personal journey of love and redemption.

BALKAN SPRING by John Dargo

Once settled on flight, the three embark on a journey to save themselves while the Nazi stranglehold tightens on their ever-diminishing homeland.
At the same time, on the fells of southern England, another warrior readies for battle. Reluctant to echo the misery his family has felt on others, Ian Langford knows he must carry the war to the heart of the enemy in order to end it. When his mission carries him over the spring fields of Yugoslavia, he must reassess exactly what he is fighting for, and decide if his actions are to be those of a hero, or just those of a killer.
Balkan Spring is a tale of ordinary men and women caught up in extraordinary times. Sometimes they rise to the occasion, but other times falter and give in to lower natures, only to rise again with the absolution that only courage can bring.
This is a tale of our better selves.

Wow, that is a great selection of books. Very nice to see other genres being spotlighted. I love historicals as well as paranormals.
ReplyDeleteThe book Lord of the Cats looks very interesting, how did you come up with the idea for that one?
I'm heading over to check out Wild Child Publishing now, thanks for the introduction!
Nice array of books. I am especially interested in the book by John Dargo and my first question is for him.
ReplyDeleteHow much research did it take you to write this book? And how long did it take you to write it?
I have a question for all the authors celebrating here today, what drove you all to write?
Thanks for telling us about these new books, I haven't seen them before!
Love the selection of books. Congratulations to all of auhtors. Good luck with your release!
ReplyDeleteFirst let me say what an interesting collection of books. As an avid fan of books of all genre's I was very pleasantly surprised to see books that my father would enjoy, especially when I consider that he introduced me to the world of Westerns and Military/spy thrillers.
ReplyDeleteSecond, my first set of questions, are for Wild Child Publishing...
I'm surprised that I haven't heard of you, how long have you been publishing books? Where can I find submission information?
hauntedangel@att.net
We have been publishing ebooks since 2006. Wild Child has been on the internet, first as a magazine, since 1999.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, we are closed to submissions until September 15, 2011, due to the length of our editing queue.
By the way, Christiana, I think it's more difficult to find some of these other genres any more, but we are certainly interested in them when they are well-written and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteBest,

What a great collection of books. I love that they are all different genres.

There IS certainly something for everyone. BALKAN SPRING leapt out as WWII is a period in history I find fascinating.

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteThe title Lord of the Cats popped into my head one night while i was watching my cat Cookie (featured on the cover) interact with 2 other cats. they got on well and seemed to be discussing feline issues, so i thought, what if...
Congrats to all authors with new releases. They look like a great bunch of books. I'm convinced my cat can talk. Where did you get the idea for the book Ilan?

ReplyDeleteFirst off, let me apologize for not responding sooner, I didn't realize this was a question and answer forum. As the lingo goes today "my bad".
To answer your question as to the amount of research I did, I would say a moderate amount. I'm a history buff anyway and my father's parents emigrated from southern Europe, so I knew a good deal about the subject matter already. But there were plenty of details to be learned and I tried to be accurate with the historical facts. Then there were many weapons and machines which required some time, but I was able to find most of the information I required on the internet. BTW, the plane on the cover is an actual photo of a working bomber featured in the book. As a matter of fact, this very bomber model flew over the Royal wedding of Kate and Andrew.
As to how long it took to write, I'd say just over a month. But then there was lots of editing and then waiting and then more editing again. But the actual writing time once I'm immersed in a book is fairly short (though I'm not writing Mitchner length novels!). Thanks for your interest and I hope you enjoy the book!
