OUCH! It starts out with a bug bite. And, it’s all downhill from there.
Casey is the environmentalist type, so it is no surprise finding her working for the Green Swamp Zip Line Adventure and Camp. It allows her to keep a close eye on the Swamp.
Doctor Phillip Edwards was trying to control the mosquito population by sterilizing them, then releasing them to compete for the females, hopefully limiting reproduction.
Cody is a cop, her brother, AND a major dick!
A hurricane. A chemical plant. Flooding in the Swamp. Mosquitoes. Horseflies. All of monstrous proportions. All viscous and hungry. What could possibly go wrong? LOL
Is that buzzing I hear? Did something just poke me? Is that a creepy crawlie making itself known? Shivers run up and down my spine as I read.
A swamp is already a dangerous, creepy place and Green Swamp only becomes more so as the days pass. And, we do have a surprise or two in store for you, so don’t be complacent. There is more than meets the eye going on.
Want to go on an adventure? Come on in. I dare ya.

Book Details: Book Title: Revenge by George Lockie Category: Adult Fiction, 178 pages Genre: Thriller Publisher: Austin Macauley Release date: December 2018 Tour dates: January 6, 2019 to January 17, 2020 Content Rating: PG-13 – M: This is an action thriller involving special forces military. There are scenes of violence, including torture.
MY REVIEW
It all starts with Achmael. His life was with his goats. He is lucky to be alive. Usually anyone handicapped is put to death because of their harsh life in Ghat, a remote and isolated village. He is club footed.
The soldiers had been told to dump the bodies in a pit, but did a lousy job of it, which was good for the survivors, which Achmael found.
The British were not going to let their torture go unpunished. Rory would be leading the team to get their revenge. But, it won’t be easy.
The training they go through is brutal, yet amazing. Pain suppression. It is highly secret, even to MI5 and MI6.
The Sultan is not one to be crossed and believe torture is the order of the day.
They make their first move and through they have blended in with their environment, I feel something terrible is coming their way. Will the Sultan catch onto their plan? Would he set a trap for them? If so, will they survive? Can they accomplish their mission and get out…alive?
If you read George Lockie’s biography, you will see he has military experience to draw on, making his characters, and the world they live in, come to life. The bond formed is one of respect and loyalty, working as a well oiled machine to accomplish a common goal. His research pays off and showcases the characters in a realistic way.
I loved Revenge and the characters that stuck together through thick and thin, no matter the danger they faced. To get an inside look at how they operate makes me appreciate what those in service sacrifice for us, that sit comfy, cozy going about our daily business.

Rory Glassen is selected to join an elite SAS cell. They are sent to
Libya to seek retribution for the near-death torture of two of their SAS
troopers, at the hands of a medieval-run empire led by a despotic
Sultan. What was to be a milk-run operation turns sour, as a battle of
wits to survive soon develops between two warring factions. Sultan and
Rory lock horns, trying to outwit each other and prevent any more
deaths. It is only when a most unexpected ally emerges from Rory’s
distant past, and offers the cell information, that a solution appears.
Like worms, they burrow into the catacombs of the old Roman Fort on
which the Sultan’s Palace is built and seek their revenge.
Meet the Author:
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1941. Married in 1964 in Edinburgh,
Scotland. Wife’s name is Avril. Has two children, Darren (52) and
Vanessa (47). Enjoyed six years’ service in the Parachute Regiment in
the British Army from 1960 to 65, mainly in the Middle East and Europe.
Migrated as a family to Australia, in 1965, seeking new challenges and a
different lifestyle in a more exciting environment. Traveled
extensively worldwide whilst employed by a major Australian
International Packaging Group, as National Operations Manager, a senior
management role from 1986 to 2003. Started writing in 1995, as he felt
that the Army relationships and strong emotional bonds that are created
in life-threatening experiences in the field, had not been exposed, or
described adequately, in the novels he had read. His first novel tried
to cover that. It takes place post-WWI through to post-WWII. The second
novel, a follow-up military story, again covers a subject not exposed as
a problem before. His third novel covers a criminal gang and its unique
way to produce huge profits from the saddest moments in human life; yet
a boon to the medical world. The fourth exposes the world of computer
hacking, with a clever killer achieving his aim of executing a crime
boss in revenge for his wife’s death at his hands. 1st: Eye of the
Hunter (Thriller, suspense.) 2nd: Chameleon (Suspense, thriller, crime.)
3rd: Miracle Cure (Military, Crime, Police.) 4th: Furtive Shadows
(Military, SAS, MI6) All novels are linked by a common major character,
Rory Glassen – a ruthless, dedicated soldier with extraordinary senses
and physical attributes gleaned from his childhood upbringing alone in
the Scottish Glens.
I would grab From The Deeps for the cover alone. Isn’t it fabulous? I love water creatures and grab any books that contain them and From The Deeps looks like it has something special to offer.
Just looking at the cover for From The Deeps by Skye MacKinnon and Laura Greenwood, my imagination was captured by the creatures and myths from the water and this supernatural world that rang new to me, taking me on a wild ride of earth, wind, fire, water, lightening, ice and air that left me wanting MORE!

Who knows what ascends from the Deeps…
Macey is really quite ordinary, if you ignore that she’s a kelpie princess living on land. Still, her life is boring until she gets kidnapped by a man who doesn’t quite know why he kidnapped her. Try and figure that one out.
Thankfully, he and his two companions are prepared to help her find out why she can’t return to Earth from their house in the Mists. Now the only problem is that Macey keeps getting distracted by the three mysterious and very sexy men…
A reverse harem romance drenched in Scottish mythology.
Dakota Burn by D V Berkom reads like a true story. Frightening.
From the hot temperatures of Africa to the cold tundra of North Dakota, Derek follows his mission in life, but he can’t do it alone. Sooooo, he calls Leina Basso for help…and here she is.
Few understand their brand of justice, but sometimes rules need to be broken for the better good.
Jinn…saved and mentored by Leine, I so wanted her character to grow and be shared in one of Leine Basso’s stories. It’s like you read my mind, D. She is such a firecracker, I am happy to hear she is doing great.
Even in Hansen, North Dakota, population 1500, scum sucking sex trafficers are alive and well…until…they meet Leine.
I see a character named Sherry and I love it. Whether it was intentional or not, it is rare when I see my name in any book. I am a victim, one of the trafficked girls, and I am so glad that Leine is on the case.
“How do you do it? You can’t save everybody.”
“No, but I can sure as hell try.”
I think that describes that strong, determined character. She does not hesitate to put her life on the line for what she knows is right, regardless of the consequences.
WOW! I love an author that does their research and D V Berkom makes this read like a true crime story with the depth and details bringing to life the terrified tear stricken young girls and the guns blazing, bullets flying battles.
Strong characters are a must in D V Berkom’s novels and I love the Leine Basso series, about a former government assassin that has no problem sharing the limelight with other memorable characters, like Jinn and Chloe…and Derek.

A kidnapped girl. A ruthless criminal who preys on the innocent. Two killers who will stop at nothing to bring him down.

Instead, she’s in North Dakota in the middle of a brutal winter, helping ex-poacher Derek van der Haar track down and eliminate a deadly group of criminals hell-bent on providing young girls to the highest bidder.
The closer Leine and Derek get to the organization, the more dangerous the mission becomes. Soon, it’s evident that the traffickers are playing for keeps—and don’t care who they kill.

ABOUT DV BERKOM
DV Berkom is a slave to the voices in her head. As the author of two
popular thriller series (Leine Basso and Kate Jones), her love of
creating resilient, kick-*ss female characters stems from a lifelong
addiction to reading spy novels, mysteries, and thrillers, and longing
to find the female equivalent within those pages.
Raised in the Midwest, she received her
BA in political science from the University of Minnesota and promptly
moved to Mexico to live on a sailboat. Many, many cross-country moves
(and several years) later, she now lives just outside of Seattle,
Washington with the love of her life, Mark, an ex-chef-turned
contractor, and writes every chance she gets.

The Devil and Dayna Dalton by Brit Lunden is my fourth story in the Bulwark Anthology. This cover really caught my ‘eye’ and I was excited to return to the small town of Bulwark, George and get the lowdown on Dayna.
WOW, The Devil and Dayna Dalton by Brit Lunden is the best of the Bulwark Anthology…so far.
Dayna Dalton is a small town reporter in love with someone she can never have. She is considered white trash, just like her mother. She is relegated to writing fluff stories for the paper but dreams of that big story that has some meat on its bones.
I love when she ripped off the T shirt….LOL And that was at 10%, so I am really looking forward to reading on.
Don’t tell her not to do something, because that only makes her more determined to do it.
Hmmm…who is that caped man?
Mrs Sweetpea, well I have a weird feeling about her.
There are strange happening in this small town, but no one is sharing the secrets. It’s all hush hush, so when Dayna hears someone calling her, luring her into the woods, she follows. Now…that can’t be bad, can it?
I love Dayna Dalton. I feel she has been treated unfairly and now that some of my questions are answered everything starts to come together and I can see some happiness on the horizon.

The end of the world one day at a time
In
this new apocalyptic zombie series from the author of They Come at
Night and Human Flesh, we follow events day for day as the world slowly
but surely decends into mayhem as the zombies take over. Don’t miss the
thrilling ride!
For fans of The Walking Dead, The Orphans Book and World War Z. How it all began:
Three teenagers find themselves trapped in a stuffy, warm basement. The old lady who used to own the house is now dead. She’s also standing right on the other side of the basement door, scraping and moaning, trying to get in. Patiently. Tirelessly.
How did they end up here? Just a
few hours ago, all three of of them were sitting in Thomas’ car,
sweating and listening to music, not a care in the world. They were
almost done with the paper route when they came to the old lady’s house.
And that’s when everything turned to chaos.
ABOUT NICK CLAUSEN
Born 1988 in North Jutland,
where I still live with my wife, who also happened to be my earliest
childhood girlfriend. From 2017 I have lived as a full-time writer. Up
until then, I had different jobs beside the writing. I have been
studying as a carpenter for three years, and have also read two years of
psychology at Aalborg University. It turned out that the writing had a
much more powerful pull on me.
I decided early on that I would be an author when I grew up. In fact, the decision came to me already when I read my first book, Snevampyren by Dennis Jürgensen. My first “real” stories I wrote at 14-15 years of age. They were rejected by the publisher, but still got praise. There were some years when I was busy with being a teenager and trying to get an education before I suddenly remembered that I should be an author.
That day I made a promise
to write 1,000 words a day until I got a book published. I sat down and
started writing. I continued to write every single day for a year and a
half. I sent the finished manuscripts to different publishers, and the
rejections piled up. Twelve of them by the end. But each time I could
feel it was a little bit better. The criticism became more positive. The
thirteenth story was called Tidevandet, and it was adopted by the
publisher and came out a year later.
I have always enjoyed writing, although in the beginning I put a lot of pressure on myself. My approach to the process has become much more free over the years. For example, I no longer plan my stories. That way, I feel that I’m experiencing the story while writing it and the characters feel like real people. I do not know where the ideas come from, but I’ve never had trouble finding them.
Eventide by Mae Clair is the third book in the Hode’s Hill series. Do you believe in monsters? No? Maybe, after reading the Hode’s Hill series, you will change your mind.
Madison knew about tending graves and was not bothered by the three in her backyard. She would tend them as if they were her ancestors.
Her welcome was creepy and I’m not sure it’s a good thing.
We flip from past to present, learning the history of the house.
Uh oh, me thinks they better not touch that stone lid.
Madison has a gift…empathy. But, since the death of her husband, where she felt his death as if it was her own, her gift had left her. She wanted her independence after the time it took to recover from her husband’s death, and now she has it. Knowing Madsion, if anyone can uncover the mystery of the house, it’s her.
Dante…OMG…I’m freaking out for him, yet he’s as cool as a cucumber.
Mae Clair writes a wonderful gothic novel filled with creepiness, eeriness, and subtle menace. I have my thoughts on where the story will go and I am eager to see how close I come. We have danger, ghosts, friendship, love, rage…We have plenty of supernatural goodness, creatures from the beyond and things that go bump in the night. BEWARE:
“Dusk is the perfect time.”
“Or in the old vernacular – EVENTIDE.”
“At EVENTIDE, the veil between worlds grows thin.”

The darkness is coming . . .
The old house near Hode’s Hill, Pennsylvania is a place for Madison
Hewitt to start over—to put the trauma of her husband’s murder, and her
subsequent breakdown, behind her. She isn’t bothered by a burial plot on
the property, or the mysterious, sealed cistern in the basement. Not at
first. Even the presence of cold spots and strange odors could be
fabrications of her still troubled mind. But how to explain her slashed
tires, or the ominous messages that grow ever more threatening?
Convinced the answer lies in the past, Madison delves into the history
of the home’s original owners, only to discover the origin of a powerful
evil. An entity that may be connected to a series of gruesome attacks
that have left police baffled. No matter where she turns—past or
present—terror lingers just a step away, spurred on by a twisted
obsession that can only be satisfied through death…
ABOUT MAE CLAIR
Mae Clair opened a Pandora’s Box of characters when she was a child and never looked back. Her father, an artist who tinkered with writing, encouraged her to create make-believe worlds by spinning tales of far-off places on summer nights beneath the stars.
Mae loves creating character-driven
fiction in settings that vary from contemporary to mythical. Wherever
her pen takes her, she flavors her stories with conflict, romance and
elements of mystery. Married to her high school sweetheart, she lives in
Pennsylvania and is passionate about writing, old photographs, a good
Maine lobster tail and cats.

A Thin Slice of Heaven by P M Terrell is a ghostly love story in the haunted lands of Ireland. P M Terrell infuses a bit of her history into her historical fiction making it all seem possible…if you believe in ghosts.
I have been loving P M Terrell’s work since I read my first book of hers, Vicki’s Key. Her ability to spin a tale of magic and mystery never fails me.
A freak snowstorm is always a good start, then add a haunted castle in Belfast, and Charleigh, who is supposed to meet her husband there for their anniversary. Everything about the book makes me eager to dive in.
“What you see a’fore you there is my Thin Slice of Heaven.”
Immediately Charleigh is thrown into a world of parallel universes, traveling between the past and the present…and he is there at her side, feeling familiar, yet something is off.
As the story unfolds, the characters come alive, drawing Charleigh deeper into the past and as the twist is exposed, the pieces all come together. A love story that surpasses time, eternal.
As reenactments of the past unfold before her eyes, I feel the terror and horror of the townspeople, and the family that inhabits the castle who feel responsible for all of them. I love the P M Terrell incorporates so much history in many of her novels, whether it’s ghosts of esp. Her research is topnotch.
Do you believe in ghosts? Reincarnation? Love that crosses all boundaries of time?
I do love to get lost and let the author take me where they want to, so that I can walk in a character’s footsteps and P M Terrell’s novels allow her stories to come to life right before my eyes.

I found Pamela Fagan Hutchins through an Amazon freebie, Saving Grace and I loved it. When I got a chance to read Switchback, I had to grab it and it turned out to be so much more than I expected.
Switchback by Pamela Fagan Hutchins is so much more than I expected. It’s not just a western, it’s an adventure into the back country of Wyoming and I loved it.
We first meet Doctor Patrick Flint when he is awakened with an emergency hospital call…and the adventure begins. His patient is a far cry from what he expects and I almost burst out laughing when I found out who she is. But that is a surprise you will have to find out for yourself.
In the small town of Buffalo, Wyoming, he is called on to perform double duty.
Uh oh. Patrick and the kids are heading out for a camping trip. Will they be the hunters, or the hunted. I am immediately hooked with a feeling of impending doom. The underlying current of suspense keeps me reading, making me have to know what happens next. Pamela Fagan Hutchins takes it even further than I anticipated and I love it.
Susanne, Patrick’s wife, wasn’t into hunting and stayed home, but her instincts made her feel something was wrong. And she was right to worry.
Meanwhile, Patrick is having flashbacks to Susanne, feeling something isn’t right and the visitors to their campsite only enhances those feelings. He is foolish to ignore them, but none of us think bad things are going to happen to us, do we? It’s always someone else, until it isn’t. I keep yelling at him to GO HOME, but he doesn’t hear me. LOL
“Courage is when something scares you and you do it anyway.”.
You may think, by looking at the cover, that this could be a simple western romance, so I want to tell you to buckle your seatbelt and hold on tight, because this is a wild ride.

From USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins.
A doctor with a taste for adventure. A doomed mountain vacation with his family. In the midst of a million acres of wilderness, Patrick Flint is about to discover that not everybody loves the new town doc.
All Patrick Flint wants is a peaceful getaway in the Wyoming mountains for his rare days off. He’s grown weary of the bicentennial celebrations, the angry families of patients, the rash of campers coming down from the mountains high on speed, and the midnight call-outs to cover for the town veterinarian. When his wife Susanne balks at the trip just as they’re walking out the door—leaving him to go it alone with his lovestruck teenage daughter Trish and eager-but-adolescent son Perry—Patrick is wounded but determined, despite the news of a cop murderer escaping custody on the other side of the mountains.
After two days of rain-soaked horseback riding to hunt and fish, Patrick’s gotten nothing but weird encounters, wet socks, and a whiny daughter. So, on the third day, when Trish begs to stay behind at their campsite to read, Patrick is secretly relieved.
Meanwhile back in town, Susanne’s had a rough time of it herself. A break-in, a wreck, and a premonition that something is terribly wrong with her family. Unable to ignore her growing fears, she enlists the help of a Wyoming-tough neighbor, and the two women make for the mountains.
When Patrick and Perry return to camp, Trish has vanished, along with the horses, the truck, and the trailer. Clues point in opposite directions. Did she run off with the boy whose note Patrick found at the camp? Or was she taken—as the tire marks over their destroyed tent suggest? Whichever it was, the tracks lead into the mountains, not out of them. With help too far away to make it before Trish’s trail is washed away, Patrick and Perry embark on a desperate trek into the wilderness to find her, with Susanne not far behind them.

With downloads of nearly 2,000,000 for the What Doesn’t Kill You world, readers seem to enjoy my smart, sassy female sleuths—I think they have exceptionally good taste. {insert silly grin here} Lots of them follow my podcast, too, where I fangirl my favorite authors and interview them for your listening pleasure.
If after all that you still want to learn more about my books, my podcast, or me, then God Bless Ya, and do drop in on my website, http://pamelafaganhutchins.com.
