The Westwood Company is expanding. Leading the charge is Wyatt Westwood, and he’s as determined as ever to see it through. His dedication, work ethic, and commitment to his career have propelled him through the ranks of the company, where he now sits just one notch shy of CEO.

Unfortunately, one small problem has brought the expansion to a grinding halt, and it’s up to Wyatt to fix it.

Rhea Marks is a woman some might call a spitfire. She wasn’t always that way, but life taught her to be hardworking and determined, and to never let anyone take advantage of her.

That’s why she’s prepared to fight to death to save her family’s farm, even if it means going up against Wyatt.

Wyatt and his family might have money, but money isn’t everything. Rhea’s got a lifetime of memories to preserve, and she’ll do whatever it takes to hold onto them.

It’s a battle of wills between the pair, and Wyatt is as frustrated as he is captivated by Rhea’s heart. The more he’s around her, the more Wyatt starts to think that perhaps the legacy he’s fighting so hard for can be hers as well.

As the only hedgewitch in Blackthorn, Massachusetts―an uncommonly magical place―Aziza El-Amin has bargained with wood nymphs, rescued palm-sized fairies from house cats, banished flesh-eating shadows from the local park. But when a dark entity awakens in the forest outside of town, eroding the invisible boundary between the human world and fairyland, run-of-the-mill fae mischief turns into outright aggression, and the danger―to herself and others―becomes too great for her to handle alone.

Leo Merritt is no stranger to magical catastrophes. On his sixteenth birthday, a dormant curse kicked in and ripped away all his memories of his true love. A miserable year has passed since then. He's road-tripped up and down the East Coast looking for a way to get his memories back and hit one dead end after another. He doesn't even know his true love's name, but he feels the absence in his life, and it's haunting.

Desperate for answers, he makes a pact with he’ll provide much-needed backup on her nightly patrols, and in exchange, she’ll help him break the curse.

When the creature in the woods sets its sights on them, their survival depends on the aid of a mysterious young necromancer they’re not certain they can trust.

#BookBlitz: The Queen of Intelligence by Harvey Havel @RABTBookTours #Giveaway

 

A 9/11 Conspiracy Novel

 

Historical Fiction

Date Published: 05-12-2023

Publisher: Workbook Press

 

As early as December of 1998, the CIA reported that Osama Bin Laden and his Al-Queda organization prepared for direct attacks against the United States using hijacked aircraft, prompting the FBI to place Osama Bin Laden on its Ten Most Wanted List.

In an effort to recruit the best possible Operations Officers to take on these dangerous terrorist organizations, the CIA approaches a young, intelligent, and exceptionally beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed Sherry Aspen and sends her into Afghanistan to locate whatever terrorist cells are hiding there and report these locations back to Langley. But as Sherry soon discovers, she is but a mere pawn in a much larger game of intrigue and espionage.

Despite all that she has to give up to obtain the most relevant information to protect the United States, the CIA turns a deaf ear to what she finds in the Middle East, except when she learns of a terrorist plot to attack the Twin Towers in New York City just months after she is deployed. As a result, Sherry is on the run, not from any of the terrorists in the Middle East who may want to kill her, but by the CIA itself.

In this exceptional work of historical fiction, Harvey Havel outlines a conspiracy theory in the form of a novel that questions whether or not the tragedy that took place on September 11th, 2001 was really based on the actions of only one man and not more powerful forces at work, such as the CIA. By following Sherry Aspen on her mission through such places as Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Israel, Havel takes us on a thrilling ride that uncovers what may have been the real reasons behind the 9/11 attacks in which nearly 3,000 innocent American civilians perished. For anyone interested in alternate perspectives of what might have caused the 9/11 attacks as well as those who crave high-caliber literary fiction, this important and carefully-crafted novel is a still very timely and a definite must-read.

#BookReview: Wildblood by Lauren Blackwood

Synopsis: A thrilling new fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blackwood!

Eighteen-year-old Victoria is a Wildblood. Since she was kidnapped at the age of six and manipulated by the Exotic Lands Touring Company, she’s worked as a tour guide ever since with a team of fellow Wildbloods who take turns using their magic to protect travelers in a Jamaican jungle teeming with ghostly monsters.

When the boss denies Victoria an earned promotion to team leader in favor of Dean, her backstabbing ex, she’s determined to prove herself. Her magic may be the most powerful on the team, but she’s not the image the boss wants to send their new client, Thorn, a renowned goldminer determined to reach an untouched gold supply deep in the jungle.

Thorn is everything Victoria isn't - confident, impossibly kind, and so handsome he leaves her speechless. And when he entrusts the mission to her, kindness turns to mutual respect, turns to affection, turns to love. But the jungle is treacherous, and between hypnotic river spirits, soul-devouring women that shed their skin like snakes, and her ex out for revenge, Victoria has to decide - is promotion at a corrupt company really what she wants?

A fierce, lush fantasy by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blackwood, Wildblood tells the story of a girl who must find the strength to defeat the demons of the jungle as well as her own to find where she truly belongs.
