The Demon Signet
AN ANCIENT RELIC. A SECRET ORDER. AN INFERNAL HUNTER. AND FOUR FRIENDS ON THE BACK ROADS OF HELL...

When a plane on its way back from Canada has to make an emergency stop in the middle of the mountains of upstate New York, Heather, Ashley, Ian, and Marcus decide to make the drive to Maryland rather than wait for the plane to be repaired. All they want is to be home for Christmas.

Little do they know, however, that their rental car has come with a surprise, and that just living through another Christmas might be a miracle too big to hope for.

As an ancient puzzle is constructed along their path, and a blood-thirsty demon hunts them for what he believes is his, the four friends will find themselves caught in the midst of an age-long battle between Good and Evil, ultimately coming face to face with the darkness hidden deep within their own hearts.

Foreign Enemies And Traitors (The Enemies Trilogy)
Foreign Enemies And Traitors" is set in the near future in an America that is creeping steadily toward socialist tyranny, in the midst of the second Great Depression. A year after earthquakes have devastated the Tennessee Valley, survivors are resisting demands by the federal government to relocate to FEMA refugee centers. United States National Guard units have proven ineffective at forcing these survivors out of the earthquake-damaged regions, due to their reluctance to employ deadly force against fellow Americans. As a result, the president has invited so-called foreign peacekeeping battalions to do the work of forcibly relocating the holdouts. The novel follows a small group of determined survivors in their resistance to the foreign enemies, and the American traitors who are their allies.

The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Armada
OPERATION ARMADA MISSION BRIEF

June 14, 1940. Naval Intelligence operative Commander Ian Fleming a.k.a. '17F' is parachuted into occupied France with two million pounds in gold. His mission: to negotiate the purchase of sixty battleships from the renegade head of France's Navy, the mysterious and charismatic World War I legend Admiral Darlan. Fleming is assisted in his quest by the French Resistance led by the beautiful saboteur Denise Astier. Plans go awry and 17F is forced to improvise when German Army Group B, led by the sadistic General Bock, makes a run for Admiral Darlan's ships. Hitler needs France's battle-cruisers and destroyers to mount 'Operation Sealion,' his planned invasion of Great Britain. Ian Fleming has four days to get to Darlan before the French fleet is annihilated by the Royal Navy. With General Bock on his heels, and a traitor close to home, 17F finds himself in a race with the biggest stakes imaginable.

The field-tested techniques, carefully explained and illustrated, will help trappers make sets that deliver maximum results.

Adopting The Minimalist Mindset: How To Live With Less, Downsize, And Get More Fulfillment From Life
Living With Less

Adopting The Minamalist Mindset
* Wow! Over 5,000 copies downloaded! Join the crowd and download now!
A new revolution is currently taking place, one that looks set to change how we view ourselves and the objects around us. This new, groundbreaking revolution is the practice of minimalism. In a society consumed by debt, greed, and envy, this new trend looks to change the way we think about everything in our lives. We spend our entire lives chasing happiness by chasing our peers, consuming, and collecting goods. But with depression and anxiety at all time highs, this trend is clearly not working.
This Book Will Discuss:
The benefits of minamlism
How to practice minamlism
How to organize your home and your life
How to remove your ego from purchasing decisions
The habits of highly effective minamalists
How to cut your bills
Over 50 tips saving money, cutting bills, and spending time on your true passions
Much, much, more!
 This has led to the rapid rise of a new age of living: living simply. The minimalist focuses more on time and presence then on objects. Happiness, helping others, and self-fulfillment are at the top of minimalists’ priorities. They realize that happiness does not come from consumption, but that true happiness comes from within. Spending time creating memorable moments is a much better experience then spending time on a new object.

Tornado Valley: Huntsville's Havoc
Touchdown! Folks in Alabama don't know whether to cheer or run when hearing the expression. Touchdown could mean that we've just won another football National Championship or it could indicate that a tornado is on the ground.  I could never be a storm chaser. I'm the one the storm chases. Funnels circle around me like shark fins as I bow my head in a school hallway, kneel down in a convent, or give birth to a newborn baby wailing in unison with the tornado sirens.  I huddle with toddlers in showers and beg for shelter in a McDonald's freezer. I remain a sitting duck in a second-floor apartment, and find myself in the wrong place at the wrong time while in the emergency room with storm victims.

Life in the Rocket City is a thrill ride which is not for the faint of heart, this I know. So brace yourself for a front row seat on a ride through Tornado Valley! Alabama is the home of the world's deadliest twisters, and Huntsville is in the heart of the arena. Our space history is out of this world, but our tornado history will blow you away.

Take a rollercoaster ride through the history of Alabama tornadoes before plunging into the gripping story of the Day of Devastation. Witness the stars falling on Alabama in 1833. Then get ready for the sky to fall! The plot twists as Huntsville's torrid tornado past comes alive in the 1974 Super Tornado Outbreak. The rollercoaster corkscrews as it encounters an unexpected twister in 1989 that slingshots the reader into the angry vortex on Airport Road.

The ride cruises before taking another gut-wrenching dive that catapults its riders into an inverted twist from yet another Anderson Hills tornado in 1995. The town turns upside-down but Huntsville survives, revives, and thrives. But the worst is yet to come. Another tornado season is just around the corner. Beware of the month of April, especially on a Wednesday.

The warning sirens wail, we're bombarded by softball-sized hail, and an EF3 tornado slams into the jail. It's just another day in Alabama, but the countdown clock is ticking. The next tornado warning could be "the one." Our voice drops to a whisper when we mention an EF5. We realize life is too short. The coaster accelerates. Can you feel the torque? We have no idea what's around the next bend.

Suddenly, the nightmare comes true as the ride zooms out of control, this time in a free-fall on April 27, 2011. Alabama is bombarded by a record 62 tornadoes in one day. Abruptly, the ride comes to a screeching halt. The adrenaline rush subsides. You've just experienced Huntsville's Havoc. Immediately the passengers ask one another, "Do you want to ride again?" Some will and some swear, never again.

The Inner Circle (Comet Clement series, #1)
[1908... Siberia... A tiny comet rips through Earth's atmosphere and explodes above the Tunguska region of Siberia, instantly engulfing thousands of square acres of the mostly desolate region. The explosion is heard for hundreds of miles, the light of the comet seen halfway across the globe. Had the comet hit a few hours earlier in a more populated area, millions would have been killed...

A century later, another comet - this one hundreds of times bigger and more powerful - encounters a black hole in deep space and is pushed onto a new, deadly course leading straight to Earth...

A small group of humans - including the President of the United States, a former astronaut and a middle school science teacher - discovers the existence of this potentially deadly comet and keep its existence hidden from the rest of the world. Although the group - which calls itself the Inner Circle - has twelve years to deal with the problem, they will need every second of that time. Not only must they figure out a way to avert this crisis, they must also start to make plans in case they can't avoid a catastrophe that could annihilate humankind..

Paleo Cookbook for Athletes - Lose Weight And Get Muscle Quickly And Easily With The Paleo Solution
PALEO COOKBOOK FOR ATHLETES: LOSE WEIGHT AND GET MUSCLE QUICKLY AND EASILY WITH THE PALEO SOLUTION by Marc Holden provides practical insights and solutions for using the Paleo diet.

The Paleo diet is based upon eating wholesome, contemporary foods from the food groups which our ancestors who were hunters-gatherers ate. It is referred to as the Paleo diet because these ancestors who thrived on such a diet lived 10,000 years ago in the Paleolithic era. Their diet was composed of fresh free range grass-fed meats like:

beef
pork
lamb
poultry
game meat
fish
other seafood.
In addition, these healthy ancestors gathered fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and healthy oils like:

olive
coconut
avocado
macadamia
walnut
flaxseed.
The Paleo diet avoids things like dairy products, cereal grains, legumes, refined sugars and processed foods which were simply not part of our ancestors'diet.

So Why The Paleo diet?
Simple! The Paleo diet is not just a fad like so many other diets. It has undergone decades of research by such noted scientists as Dr. Loren Cordain.

It has demonstrate repeatedly that hunter-gatherers as a civilization did not suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases that have plagued our modern society.

Our ancestors did not have rampant obesity. There were no cases of cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease or other diseases that we find common today.

The Paleo diet encourages replacing unhealthy foods with ones that are good for you.

Wide Variety of Foods Everyone Loves
Paleo Cookbook for Athletes provides dieters with a wide variety of foods they should regularly eat while removing negative foods.

For example, acceptable foods include: fish and seafood; grass-fed meats; eggs, nuts and seeds, healthy oils, and non-starchy vegetables while deleting cereal, dairy, potatoes, refined sugars and oils, and all processed "junk" foods.

It promises to make changes in eating easier to integrate into your life.

50 Paleo Recipes for Athletes
With fifty starter nutritious and appealing recipes like: Beef & Turnip Scramble, Chicken and Eggs Casserole, and Bacon and Kale Frittata and Roasted Chicken and Root Vegetables, you're sure to enjoy your favorite and scrumptious foods while still being on a diet!

REALLY SIMPLE COLD SMOKING, BBQ AND SALT CURING AT HOME (REALLY SIMPLE HOW-TO BOOKS)
Like gourmet smoked and salt-cured foods? Parma hams? Cold-smoked salmon? Pancetta and other "real" bacons? Spare ribs and brisket?
Want to make them at home? With all the taste, authentic flavour and trimmings of the store-bought items, but at a fraction of the cost?
Everything you need is right here. Equipment, tools, accessories and recipes, and a whole range of new techniques and methods to home-smoke, bbq and dry cure delicacies like prosciutto hams, cured bacons, salmon, spare ribs, biltong, jerky, brisket – to name just a few!
Over 500 pages, generously illustrated, and written in simple language, "Really Simple Cold Smoking, BBQ and Salt Curing at Home" is actually three books in one – at a price that would be a bargain for just one of them!
In this definitive book you'll discover
- the little known secrets of the pros for making up your own rubs, pastes, marinades, mops, bastes and sauces;
- the unique characteristics of different woods and fuels used in the food smoking process, and which are best for different applications;
- a range of smoked foods which could, for many readers, represent new and exciting food territory; – foods like smoked and salt-cured fruit, nuts, dairy products (cheeses and butters), molluscs and other seafoods which are – quite simply – delicious!;
- how simple, and how comfortably within the capabilities of most people deli-style cold-smoking, or dry-curing really is!;
- survival secrets of "emergency" food smoking for hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen and survivalists, who would like, while still in the wild, to smoke any bounty collected from the outdoors, but who frequently don't have access to conventional (or any!) smoking equipment to do so;
- how-to build your own food smoking and dry-curing equipment at home – partly as a low-cost alternative to the (undoubtedly excellent, but often fairly expensive) commercial equivalents, and partly for the good, warm feeling of accomplishment it brings!; and
- Illustrated charts showing the major cuts of meat from each of the main animal groups – pork, beef, lamb and venison.... and the list goes on!
Readers of How-To Instructional books (like this one) fall somewhere between two extremes. At one extreme are those who want to know "Why?" before they learn "How?" At the other extreme are those who simply want a clear-cut set of instructions.
The publishers in this book unravel the Gordian knot – and satisfy both classes of reader by covering both the "Why" and the "How" in the first half of the book, while limiting the second half to just the "How".
Whatever your current level of expertise and skill, there'll be something in this book to expand and enrich it. Get it now!

Mushroom in the Sand
An Iranian-born physicist living the American dream, Dr. Ross Shaheen is at the top of his game. Between his internationally-recognized nuclear weapons research career at the prestigious Berkeley Lab and his picture-perfect family in the San Francisco suburbs, it's a good life that can only get better - until he is lured into lecturing before an elite group of scientists in his home country.

The 7000-mile trip takes Shaheen back to the land of the lion and the sun, yet it also delivers to Iran's very doorstep an important American citizen with Top Secret security clearance. Taken captive in a subterranean plant by Amir Meshkin, head of Iran's secret nuclear weapons program, will Shaheen be forced to provide him with the access needed to successfully advance the Iranian nuclear agenda?

The answer lies in the twisting plot of espionage and survival, putting to the test not only Shaheen's secret knowledge but also the very core of his allegiance. If he lives, he could walk away a hero for his country. The question is - which one?

Dead Drunk: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse... One Beer at a Time
Charlie Campbell was your average, balding, thirty-year-old alcoholic with a dead-end job and a penchant for shambling through life one mistake after another. However, none of that mattered following the sudden arrival of a mysterious sickness that brought with it infected mobs of zombie-like creatures thirsting for the flesh of the living.

Trapped in a Chicago apartment the morning after a raucous bachelor party, Charlie and his old fraternity buddies must battle for survival against the cannibalistic horde, a military invasion and their own rampant stupidity.

With supplies, common sense and brain cells dwindling by the hour, the motley crew — including a racist cop, a Sri Lankan used car salesman, a stoner landlord and a pet raccoon — must pull out all the stops to avoid joining the ranks of the dead.

If you like zombies, action and humor, crack a beer, pull up a barstool, and prepare for one wild ride.

The Devil's Grin (Kronberg Crimes)
At the turn of the 19th century, bacteriological research has made a tremendous leap. When epidemics were still untamed and claimed thousands of lives, Pasteur and Koch isolated deadly bacteria to develop vaccines. Biological warfare was but a small step away...

In Victorian London's cesspool of crime and disease, a series of murders remains undiscovered until a cholera victim is found floating in the city's drinking water supply. Dr Anton Kronberg, England's best bacteriologist, is called upon to investigate and finds evidence of abduction and medical maltreatment. While Scotland Yard has little interest in pursuing the case, Kronberg pushes on and crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes. The detective immediately discovers Kronberg's secret - a woman masquerading as a man in order to practice medicine - a criminal deed that could land her in prison for years to come. But both must join forces to stop a crime so monstrous, it outshines Jack the Ripper's deeds in brutality and cold-bloodedness.

The Devil's Grin is the 1st book in the bestselling Kronberg Crimes series

Warning: This book contains foul language, non-explicit sex-scenes, explicit dissection scenes, violence, and considerable female power.

The Cana Mystery
In this gripping mystery adventure, Ava, an MIT graduate student and expert in ancient languages, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from an old friend, Paul, with a baffling request: Could she fly to Yemen immediately? He’s found something important and needs her help.

Paul’s subsequent coded e-mail alludes to what he and his boss, Simon Demaj, have found: the lost jars of Cana—the very jars that Jesus used at the wedding at Cana—and a puzzle to be solved. Are the jars authentic, and is there a prophecy somehow hidden in them?

At the same time a shocking global announcement is made: “. . . Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will resign for the good of the church . . .”

Is there a connection? Ava and Paul set off on a deadly global adventure to Yemen, Egypt, Malta, and Rome searching for answers. Every step of the way they’re chased by Paul’s unscrupulous billionaire boss, a drug lord, and corrupt officials.

A thrilling mix of historical and contemporary intrigue, The Cana Mystery keeps the reader wanting to know more.

Indisputable Proof
Named as one of the “Best Fiction Books of 2012” by Rosa St. Claire of the Miami Examiner.

“Dan Brown better look over his shoulder – Williams and Knerly are here for his crown. Indisputable Proof is an edge-of-the-seat thriller with great storytelling backed by brilliant research.”
– Greig Beck, bestselling author of "This Green Hell" and "Dark Rising"

With his father in a coma, CIA operative Samuel Tolen may have found a way to answer mankind’s greatest question: Is there life after death?

When the Sudarium of Oviedo—the venerable cloth that once covered Jesus Christ’s face on the cross—is stolen from a cathedral in Spain, it sparks a series of grisly murders. Each victim is killed in a manner resembling the form of execution of one of the Apostles. American CIA operative Samuel Tolen, Spanish inspector Pascal Diaz, and British archaeologist Dr. Jade Mollur embark on a journey to reclaim the Sudarium. Their search takes a surprising turn when a 2,000-year-old clue from Joseph of Arimathea suggests a far greater secret is within reach; a startling discovery that would forever change humanity.

Embroiled in a deadly hunt that takes them from the grounds of Harvard University to the coast of Costa Rica, from a hallowed Greek Isle to an exquisite Spanish cathedral, and ultimately to the doorstep of mankind’s greatest civilization, Tolen, Diaz, and Mollur will search for the ultimate truth in the midst of unspeakable deception. But is it a truth mankind was meant to discover?
