Free: Within: A Memoir of an Inner Alchemist

Within: A Memoir of an Inner AlchemistWe’ve undoubtedly heard many times that the greatest journey is within. Above and beyond this truism, however, how many of us have been able to successfully navigate the world of consciousness and emerge with the capacity to guide others on the same journey?

Alex Kroll is just such a guide. Within is a story that points us toward the source not only of healing, but awakening. To arrive at this source requires that we embark on our own hero’s journey, the archetypal seed of which is present in all of us. Alex depicts, with candor and vulnerability, the trials he had to face along the way, as well as the moments of enchantment and beauty that await inside and call us to continue seeking.

From the sun-washed vistas of Ibiza, to the untamed countryside of India, the deep jungles of South America, and beyond, Alex shows us the steadfast commitment to discovery as well as the joy and adventure that come in its wake. Far from contemplative isolation, Alex’s turn inward connects him, and us, to the world and to each other in ways we may not even believe possible.

More than anything, Alex’s story points the way forward and reminds us that the limitless world of consciousness is within reach. Free on Kindle.

The Tales of Zren Janin boxed set

Three strangers race across two countries with only one goal: to survive.

Kerek, Matasi, and Vikland are three countries squabbling like quarrelsome siblings. The Kerek King has allowed banditry against anyone with a different language or skin color, and the Vikland Empress has had enough of her travelers injured and killed outside of her borders. Matasi has also suffered from Kereks brutality but has the money and power or so the Triune Council believes to break Kerek without bloodshed.

In a war of words and weapons, who will win? For when blood is shed, it is always the young and the poor who pay the greatest price.

The Tales of Zren Janin are stories of adventure, political intrigue, soldiers, spies, and bravery where no one is safe, promises are casually broken, and justice demands a price.

For readers who like great world building in a South Pacific setting, heart-pounding escapes, stories about spies, saboteurs, and survivors when the odds are never in their favor.

A deliberately paced work, but one with an expansive and ultimately engrossing setting. Kirkus review

Third Wheel

Third Wheel

Las Vegas, 1982. Brady Wilks, a teenage transplant from the Midwest, navigates life in the dusty suburban outskirts of an aberrant 24-hour town built by the Mob. Outcast as a newcomer, Brady forges a brotherly bond with an older teenage neighbor, Mick, and his friend, Brett. But when Brett unexpectedly moves away, Mick invites a new kid into their pack, squeezing out the last remnants of their childhood in favor of a new world laced with cartel-supplied drugs and the deal of a lifetime.

Third Wheel is a powerful novel about belonging, betrayal, and breaking away from paths laid out by others, even when it means grasping at an uncertain future. It is the story of a boy trying to find his identity without the benefit of a role model by taking chances on random and fragile relationships forged in the predawn hours of a future boomtown.

Desolate and gritty, Third Wheel is a triumphant debut novel, and Brady Wilks is remarkable as a transformative protagonist. Four-time award-winning author Richard R. Becker shares his unique insight into the human condition. $2.99 on Kindle.

Tempting Max

 

Gus
I am in my ‘New Gus’ era. I am learning to love myself again. I am rediscovering me after the dumpster fire of an almost marriage. I am…living with my great aunt until I can afford to get my own place.

But that requires a job. And lucky for me, I score one on my first interview with the grumpiest, hottest, bear-sized man I’ve ever had the pleasure to irritate. He’s at least twenty years older than me and I’m positive that he forgot how to smile right around the time I was born. But there’s something about the pain behind his eyes that I want to ease.

All too soon I’m dreaming of his strong hands on my body and his lips against mine. But I can’t. I shouldn’t. There’s no way my heart is ready for another fall.

Max
Opening Redpoint Brewery with my brothers is not our passion project or something we ever imagined we would be doing. But it’s our last chance—with our last cent—to make something of the Sutton name after losing our birthright.

I expected the normal ups and downs of a new business. I expected this mid-life about-face to be difficult. But I didn’t expect my brand-new employee—Gus—to turn me completely upside down with her copper-colored hair, delicious curves, and smartass mouth.

I want her. But I can’t even think about it. She’s too young. I’m too broken. And I won’t make the mistake of losing everything by falling for an employee. Again. $0.99 on Kindle.

How can you find the best qualified caregiver?

Pretend With Me

Pretend With Me

One phone call was all it took to upend my entire life in completely unexpected ways.

Whoever said that you can’t go home again was a lair. After the senior year from hell, I had spent a decade trying to avoid Beacon Hill and its residents. My luck came to a sudden end after daddy had an incident with a rotted floor. In and out, I promised myself. I was just there to help my parents for a week or two tops.

Things in Beacon Hill hadn’t changed much since I’d been home last. Mama still worked at the hub of gossip known as Trixie’s, Mrs. Thomas still made the best chicken salad in all of Georgia, and my sister was still the devil in a pushup bra. And of course, the St. James family was still local royalty. Our very own version of the Kennedys.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only is my sister back in town after a failed modeling career, she’s also engaged to Macon St. James. The golden boy of Beacon Hill, and the star of every single one of my teenage fantasies.

The biggest surprise of all was Holden St. James. I thought he would be one of the villains in this story, but I was learning that I had been wrong about a lot of things. And Holden just might be worth coming home for…. $4.99 on Kindle.

Katherine McKenna’s red-eye flight to Dubai is off to a rocky start before the plane leaves the ground. Yet it’s the salty storm of subterfuge prepared to reign upon her landing that warns of the desert’s true threat.

A dangerous accelerant to her chronic insomnia, Katherine’s jetlag further compromises her safety and judgment, but her Middle Eastern second family has her back. When a quondam ghost is suspected of colluding with the ‘family’ who should be protecting her, the suspicion that past sins have returned to haunt protagonist and antagonist alike remains shrouded.

For Dr Jon Markston, the energy spent to pursue the evolving leads to his stolen microchip is rivaled only by his pursuit of Katherine’s heart. Despite the miles temporarily between them, the couple remotely engages in a rail of provocative banter, but their inaugural virtual date leaves the professor blindsided by a dangerous revelation—a common intersection. Now aware of the grave danger Katherine is in, Jon diverts all resources to ensure his UK reinforcements keep her safe, yet must keep his involvement in the situation a secret from Katherine.

Tragically, Jon’s clandestine scheme to remotely exorcise Katherine’s possessive ghost inadvertently exhumes another long-buried body. Now the romance and the redemption dangled in Conflict of Intrigues could be irrevocably derailed. Free on Kindle.
