I finished my book early in the evening last night, went to bed at a normal time, and I feel so much better after having a good nights sleep. So what the heck am I doing looking for the third book in the series, just so I can stay up too late and wake up feeling horrible again?
CAPRIATI’S BLOOD (ALTON RHODE MYSTERIES Book 1)
Lawrence De Maria
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Alton Rhode is recently back from military duty, recovering from wounds, when a beautiful woman asks him to find the bank-embezzler lover who fathered her daughter and disappeared 14 years earlier. The man, she says, does not know about his child but may hold the key to saving her life. Rhode, whose private investigation business withered when his reserve unit was called up, takes the case, although it seems hopeless. If the F.B.I. can’t find the father, how can he? That turns out to be the least of Rhode’s problems, as he almost immediately becomes the target of a deranged mobster. He only survives because a mysterious guardian angel – with an automatic pistol – is watching his back. It soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems. Bodies pile up as Rhode’s search takes him from a college campus to a nursing home to a Florida orange grove. And, finally, to a revelation he never sees coming.

The Man That Time Forgot: Book One
Alan Mechem
Genre: Humor & Satire | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
History is a great big lie.
Just open any book or talk to any history professor and they’ll tell you that history is filled with nothing but glorious battles, great leaders, plagues, large fires, earthquakes, famous inventors, Egyptians and Louis Pasteur.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. History, in fact, is filled with a whole lot of nothing.
Andrew Adams knows that only too well.
He’s an ordinary man living his life in the all too abundant and mundane spaces between those great moments. Just like all ordinary men he spends much of his life wondering what the point of it all is, struggling to form meaningful relationships or find his place in society. Andrew’s life follows a daily routine much like that of many others: he wakes up, does the minimum required to get himself through the day – careful not to learn too much or create a lasting impression on anyone – and then goes back to bed.
There’s only one, ever-so-minor inconvenience that continually stands in the way of Andrew’s ignorantly blissful life
Time-travel.
Since before he can remember every time Andrew sleeps he’s randomly flung through time and space, never knowing where or when he’ll wake up. The only thing he can be certain of is that the location he arrives at won’t be anywhere exciting.
He’s a cursed man who had no idea why this happens to him, clueless to how it all started or how it can be stopped. Rarely does he find a place to fit in and, on those rare occasions that he does, he can only stay there until he loses his fight against sleep.
Andrew Adams has all but given up hope and given up on life.That is until he meets someone else like him who sets in motion a chain of events that will lead him on a journey of discovery and answers to questions that perhaps even he didn’t want to know. With the help of a mysterious and tenacious woman, an old drunken priest and a seven-foot, psychopathic assassin Andrews life is about to be given a purpose. Finally he might start to view his abilities as a gift instead of a curse and perhaps learn that there’s always something to be thankful for.
Whether he wants to or not.
For fans of Guardians Of The Galaxy, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Back To The Future and Groundhog Day type-humour. The Man That Time Forgot has been praised for both it’s British Humour as well as it’s message. An adventure that takes the reader through Rome, World War II Poland and North England and beyond, The Man That Time Forgot must be read to be believed.

Claude Bachand
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
This is a memoir about two people growing up during and after the Great Depression, their deep and enduring love, and how they coped with Parkinson’s disease.
The way that Dotty and Claude Bachand went about day-to-day living, as Dotty’s Parkinson’s symptoms steadily worsened, is the subject of about half of the memoir.In depth, you’ll learn how they dealt with problems like mobility, balance, eating, dressing, tremors, disorientation, and difficulty with talking and swallowing.They adapted.For instance, they’d sit in the back row of the movies so in the event Dotty suffered from shaking, they wouldn’t disturb the other patrons; they’d ask a waitress to bring Dotty’s iced tea with a lid and a straw in case she knocked it over; and Claude always carried four men’s handkerchiefs because of Dotty’s drooling.
You’ll be there during an hour-long session with a noted Parkinson’s specialist; be in emergency rooms, where Dotty is treated after two serious falls; and see how the couple dealt with her violent shaking (dyskinesia), which was especially troublesome at bedtime.
The memoir first takes you back to the time when the two grew up in Southbridge, a small mill town in central Massachusetts, in families where money was scarce because of the bad economic times and because their fathers spent every night in a barroom, downing highballs with a beer chaser.
In contrast with Dotty, who was quiet and well-disciplined, Claude had a relatively free rein, was a bit of a scamp, and had behavioral problems at home and in school.He frequently felt the sting of his mother’s switch and his teachers’ yardsticks.Yet, with the help of the G.I. Bill, he did surprisingly well in college.He earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism, summa cum laude, from Louisiana Tech University, where he was editor of the school newspaper for three years.Then with an assistantship, he earned a master’s degree at the University of Illinois Graduate School of Journalism and Communications. He worked as a reporter for a daily newspaper, then for United Press International, and spent most of his career in public relations and marketing.
After college, he met Dotty and the two were married and raised three children.They had a loving and happy, 45-year marriage, despite the Parkinson’s.
In 1998, Claude retired and the couple move to Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.A year later, Dotty was diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
