Book Description
Some people can’t stay out of trouble. Happily married, the parents of two precocious nine-year old girls, and comfortably off, Max and Sally Brown should have it easy. Not yet; that’s where the little girls come in. The twins maneuver their parents into a dangerous treasure hunt through abandoned gold mines. As Max forewarns, “the closer you get to the treasure the more competitors show up, some of whom don’t play by the rules.” The competitors in this case are seven Klansmen who believe that the object of the treasure hunt, a large cache of Confederate gold, is theirs to finance a second rebellion. Set in northern Georgia, the couple combat bears, snakes, and the Klan to protect those they love. Their most cunning and committed adversaries, though, turn out to be their own children.

Smartass sociology professor Maxwell Smythe Brown IV thought he had it made. He had lots of money, a wonderful woman, Sally, and no responsibilities.

Set on a small island off the coast of Holland, this, the second installment chronicling Brown’s travails, finds him questioning his value and his values. Drawing on rusty skills, he tries to protect himself and those he loves from a determined and vengeful gang who torture and behead for sport.

How I Made $3,200,000 from My Hobby: Cutting to the Chase
Author: Michael Bernhart
Publisher: Hough Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
Maxwell Smythe Brown IV is a smart-ass by design. To counter the ridicule his fancy name attracted, Brown the child became the point person in pranks, taunts, and mischief that kept him in hot water with teachers, principals, clerics and coaches. As he grew older, he added irreverence to mischievousness and his circle of victims and antagonists expanded to include military commanders, bosses and colleagues. When his clever speech and picaresque ways help him win the hand of a stunningly beautiful woman, it goes wrong; she’s dismally unsuited for marriage and makes his life miserable. There are occasional bright spots: his disregard for authority and convention helps him survive the Vietnam war. But his inability to keep his mouth shut and his fly zipped costs him his university sinecure and he’s exiled to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Three hundred years earlier the great Moghul Khan Shaista abruptly abandoned his post in the same city. The Khan’s youngest and favorite daughter had succumbed to disease and the grief stricken Khan fled the country, but not – it is believed – before burying a treasure as a memorial to her short life.For three centuries fortune hunters have searched for the rumored treasure but Brown has an advantage. As an accessory to a pretentious name he’s taken on a pretentious hobby: collecting antiquarian maps. Initially unaware of the importance of the information on one of his old maps, Brown sets in motion events that bring him closer to the treasure, but also attract the competitive attention of six brutal castoffs of an Indian intelligence service. Before the dust settles, two men have been beheaded, another skinned, a bystander strangled and two more fatally shot. With wit and irreverence, the book chronicles the journey of a man whose outward self-assurance and brashness mask wavering self-regard. As Brown acknowledges, it’s a full time job keeping up appearances. But he’s not without depth. A continuing theme is his quest for the true nature of a compassionate God who, paradoxically, presides over a universe of undeniable evil.Throughout, Professor Brown is our acerbic guide to: an unholy war, college campuses in the 70’s, a university exhibiting signs of tenure-induced rigor mortis, a Thai brothel, the watering holes of Europe, and life in the bottom-most percentile of the third world. This edition (Cutting to the Chase) is an abridged version of the original book. Several readers said they would like to move more rapidly through the character development sections to the fast-paced thriller when Max takes up the treasure hunt in earnest (and the corpses stack up). Out of respect for that feedback, the novel was extensively revised to provide this – a more conventional – thriller.

Fourteen years after their (mis)adventures in the US Max and Sally are comfortably settled in Geneva and both wondering if their lives of comfort and privilege don’t require they make a contribution.

Magic Rising: An Elemental Witches Paranormal Romance
Author: Elsa Jade
Publisher: Red Circle Ink
ISBN: 1941547508
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Enter a secret world hidden within our own, where elemental witches once wove the energies of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air into an ancient artifact of power that changed humanity. The Sundered Chalice was buried for a millennia, but it’s about to be found again… I’m Evalith Azarra—an Earth witch with broken magic. When I lost control of my magic, I was banished. Luckily, in Iceland no one minds a few earthquakes. But plagued by nightmares of an elemental apocalypse, I’m forced back to the West Coast alchemancers. My sister is in danger as she ascends to rule House Azarra—a place that would’ve been mine. I don’t belong there anymore, and with my Earth magic twisted by chaos, I bring more trouble than answers. Now I’m stuck with my sister’s bodyguard. He’s buff, badass—and a disbeliever, with no magical awareness…until me. I’m Van Asher—just a bodyguard who never had to believe in magic. The gold flecks in her eyes are too rich for my blood, and the fairy tales she tells too impossible to imagine. But when this barefoot witchy princess literally rocks my world, I have no chance: we’re bonded. Evalith claims she has no power, but she does…over me. Not a problem, since the explosions she triggers and bone-deep desire—also her fault—will probably kill me. Weirdly, there’s no place else I want to be, even if this bewitching Earth becomes my grave. We seek the Sundered Chalice—a long-lost elemental relic that might save our world…or unleash the shockwave that destroys it. Magic is rising, and whispers of upheaval threaten to unbalance House Azarra. We must unite the alchemancers once again. But our quest will compel us together too—too close, when every touch risks shattering the separation between magic and disbelief that’s protected both our worlds. And we’re not the only ones searching for the Sundered Chalice… *** MAGIC RISING is the first book in a new contemporary paranormal urban fantasy romance series from Elsa Jade (ExCap Files, Masters of the Flame, Big Sky Alien Brides) with three Gen Z witch sisters finding the right place—and love—for themselves while fighting to bring magic back to our everyday world. For fans of magic, action, adventure, plus kissing—and more! Happily ever afters, guaranteed.
