I get up pretty early every morning, around 3:45am. I like to get a lot of my work done while the house is quiet. My sweet hubby has programmed the lights in the house to turn on at 3:30 every day, so I don’t have to wake up to a dark gloomy house. Very cool. During the Christmas season he sets up the Christmas trees to turn on as well. It is such a wonderful way to wake up on those cold December mornings. I absolutely love all the twinkling lights. What I am trying to figure out is how to enjoy the holiday lights year round. I can’t have a Christmas tree in my living room all year, but maybe a ficus? I have no idea. I gotta figure this out, because it is so pretty and I don’t want it to stop.

Nevada’s mining district, 1901. At once a sweeping love story and a harrowing account of the harshness of the American Old West, this is the tale of a prostitute who gains an unlikely ally in her struggle for physical and emotional survival.

No longer young or fresh, Tempa is staring face to face with the whore’s unholy trinity: alcoholism, drug abuse and suicide. While her best friend, Belle, has chosen laudanum, Tempa finds escape in literature, which she shares with the illiterate prostitutes in a book club-like setting at the cribs. Forced into prostitution as a girl after losing her family to yellow fever, Tempa also retains a sense of self-worth by using her knowledge of herbs to heal others.

When she nurses Henry — an idealistic, young German immigrant on the run from a man who has reason to want him dead — Tempa discovers a future she longs for but cannot allow herself to claim. So when the noose tightens around Henry’s neck, she ransoms her life for his.

The Seventh Carrier (Seventh Carrier Series Book 1)
by Peter Albano
4.3 Stars (264 Reviews)
Genre: Fantasy | Thrillers

FREE for a limited time

It is the first day of December, 1983. Ted ‘Trigger’ Ross is a very long way from his past as a World War II hero, as forty years later he travels aboard the steamer Sparta, through the Bering Sea.

Then, as if from nowhere come Japanese aircraft, Zeros, World War II vintage — and nearly four decades after that war ended, they are heading straight for Sparta.

As they undertake their strafing run, destroying the blood-soaked Sparta and killing most of her crew, Trigger Ross is hurled out of calm normality and back into the horrors of war.

Because for the crew of the carrier Yonaga, World War II has not yet ended.

The crew of the carrier Yonaga are samurai, and that means following orders, even to the death.

And the crew of the Yonaga have orders to attack Pearl Harbor. Orders that have never been revoked, and which must therefore be carried out.

As Ross, a prisoner on board the Yonaga, finds himself carried back towards his homeland, he draws upon all his inner strength and understanding — of Japanese culture, and of warfare — in a desperate bid to avert disaster.

Meanwhile the American authorities, baffled by repeated reports of ships attacked by Zeros, search for answers.

Brent Ross, Trigger’s son, believes his father lost at sea. Having heard tales of Japanese ‘holdouts’ many years after World War II, Brent suspects that something similar may be afoot.

Brent is right. But how long will it take his superiors to realise that?

As the Americans seek answers, and Brent seeks support for his theory, the Yonaga travels on, relentlessly, getting ever closer to Pearl Harbor.

The original attack on Pearl Harbor was made by six Japanese carriers: now the seventh is on her way. And the Americans, for whom World War II ended almost forty years previously, are completely unprepared for any attack.

Will the Yonaga reach her destination?

And if she does — what then?
