Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the scorching hot first book in a thrilling new series featuring four warrior brothers who have the power—and the curse—of immortality. For centuries, Dethan has been trapped in a fiery inferno for defying the gods and snatching the power of immortality. Condemned to have his battle-hardened body licked by flames only to regenerate and be consumed all over again, Dethan has lost all hope—until the Goddess of Conflict appears. She will release him from torment—if he’ll use his power and strength as a warrior to raise an army and defeat a fierce enemy faction of gods. Free to live as a man once again, Dethan meets Selinda—heir to the throne of Hexis—and his thoughts quickly turn from the conquest of cities to the conquest of this headstrong beauty. Betrothed to a cruel, calculating powermonger, Selinda needs a champion, and so Dethan enters into another bargain: If she will share her bed—and her body—with him, Dethan will save her city from destructive forces within and without. As the lovers ignite a searing passion, Dethan will risk all—even the wrath of the Goddess of Conflict—for a chance to make Selinda his forever.

Book excerpt: "Supernatural suspense at its finest . . . It will scare the pants off you." —The New York Times Book Review Evil is invisible, and it is everywhere. That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of a little boy have driven the isolated travelers to the brink of madness. Though they dream of what awaits them in the West, long-buried secrets begin to emerge, and dissent among them escalates to the point of murder and chaos. As members of the group begin to disappear, the survivors start to wonder if there really is something disturbing, and hungry, waiting for them in the mountains...and whether the evil that has unfolded around them may have in fact been growing within them all along.
Download or read book The Yanks Are Starving written by Glen Craney and published by Brigid's Fire Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two armies. One flag. No honor. The darkest day in American history. "[A] wonderful source of historical fact wrapped in a compelling novel....will both teach and entertain." -- Historical Novel Society Former political journalist Glen Craney has enthralled readers with novels set during the medieval crusades and Scottish wars of independence. Now the award-winning author brings to life the little-known story of the Bonus March of 1932, which culminated in a shocking clash between thousands of homeless veterans and U.S. Army regulars on the streets of the nation's capital. "[A] vivid picture of not only men being deprived of their veterans' rights, but of their human rights as well.... Craney performs a valuable service by chronicling it in this admirable book." — MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA "Craney has written an outstanding social and military historical novel of the United States." — MARINE VETERAN JOSEPH SPUCKLER * * * Foreword Book-of-the-Year Finalist Historical Fiction * * * * * * indieBRAG Medallion * * * * * * Chaucer Award Finalist * * * Mired in the Great Depression, the United States teeters on the brink of revolution. And the nation holds its collective breath as a rail-riding hobo leads 20,000 fellow World War I veterans on a desperate quest for justice to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. This timely epic evokes the historical novels of Jeff Sharra as it sweeps across three decades with eight Americans from different backgrounds who survive the fighting in France and come together again, fourteen years later, to determine the fate of a country threatened by communism and fascism: — Herbert Hoover, the beleaguered president. — Douglas MacArthur, the ambitious general. — Pelham Glassford, the compassionate police chief. — Walter Waters, the troubled leader of the Bonus veterans. — Floyd Gibbons, the war correspondent and famous radio broadcaster. — Joe Angelo, the Italian-American who serves as George Patton's orderly. — Ozzie Taylor, the street musician turned Harlem Hellfighter. — Anna Raber, the Mennonite nurse. We follow these men and women from the Boxer Rebellion in China to the Plain of West Point, from the persecution of conscientious objectors in the Midwest to the horrors of the Marne in France, and from the Hoovervilles of the heartland to the pitiful Anacostia encampment in the bowels of the District of Columbia. Here is an alarming portrayal of the political intrigue and government betrayal that ignited the only violent conflict between two American armies under the same flag. "One of the best and most memorable books I have ever read." — MARINE VETERAN NATHAN MERCER "Craney combines the visual imagery of a screenwriter and the objectivity of a journalist with the passions of a writer... [E]ssential reading for those who found truth and beauty co-existent in the works of John Steinbeck and John Dos Passos." — LINDA ROOT, REVIEW GROUP UK "[I] know of no other fiction writer who has made this brave, tragic protest movement the main theme of a novel, until now. Glen Craney deserves praise for recognizing the significance and dramatic potential of the Bonus Army story." — THE COMPULSIVE READER START READING THE YANKS ARE STARVING TODAY.
