Book excerpt: Contracts By: Phoenix Maverick No longer a Master Chief Navy Seal, Alex Jenson is approached by a man named Xavier who offers Alex the opportunity to make money working as a mercenary with five contracts needing fulfillment. These five contracts require Alex to assassinate several individuals who have wronged Xavier and his employer, Mr. X, in some manner. With his girlfriend, Alicia, at his side, he accepts the offer and the two begin their work with Xavier. Alex and Alicia soon realize what the contracts are truly intended to accomplish, causing the pair to rethink their actions when it is revealed that Alex’s former fiancé is added into the mix. With only the knowledge of a single contract at any one time, Alex is forced into making a difficult decision: does Xavier find out that he knows about his former fiancé and break the contracts, or does he continue to work with Xavier and give him the impression that he knows not about her? Inspired by true events, including dreams, that occurred in his life, Phoenix Maverick has carefully taken an interesting approach and placed those events (with changed names, of course) within the world of Contracts to create an intriguing and powerful backstory-heavy driven work.

Download or read book Interference written by Michelle Berry and published by ECW/ORIM. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An immaculately constructed page-turner that is also, miraculously, a redemptive meditation on loneliness and community” (Carrie Snyder, author of Girl Runner). The inhabitants of Edgewood Drive in the small Canadian town of Parkville seem to live simple, peaceful lives, but as the children attend elementary school and the senior ladies play Leisure League hockey, secrets and hardships and menaces lurk not far from the surface. This suspenseful novel takes us into a community and reveals the life and happiness—as well as the fear and sorrow—of those who call it home. “Interference is a terrific page-turner, but it’s also a haunting, powerful look at the way families and friendships entangle us all. Berry is a sharp-eyed, engaging writer, and she deftly captures the terrors, ruptures and intimacies of one seemingly ordinary neighborhood, always finding a precarious beauty in her characters’ lives. This is a book that is terrifying, startling, and very hard to put down.” —Rebecca Godfrey, author of Under the Bridge “Interference is tightly plotted and neatly executed, very nearly perfectly paced, and satisfyingly complex—but it is also escapism in its purest form, and a sheer delight to read.” —The Winnipeg Review
