The Murder Gambit

A Brown & McNeil Murder Mystery Book 1

by Frank Lazarus

Genre: Murder Mystery, Crime Thriller

An unexplained death in a nursing home. A man falls from a balcony. A hit and run in the middle of a city street. An execution in a home. A woman collapses dead after a date.

Five murders. Five methods. Five police jurisdictions.

What’s the connection?

Philadelphia-area detectives are under pressure to solve the murders, while dealing with their own issues.

Speeding like the lead car at Talladega towards a shocking conclusion, is The Murder Gambit a Shakespearean tragedy or a sinister reality?

The Phenom

A Brown & McNeil Murder Mystery Book 2

Even before he has played his first game in high school, it would seem nothing can stop Bo Campbell’s meteoric rise to stardom in the basketball world. In Philadelphia, people are already comparing him to his Overbrook High School predecessor, Wilt Chamberlain.

But his dreams are suddenly shattered when he is arrested for the murder of his best friend, Sherman Claxton.

Detective Vernon Brown, and James McNeil, his friend and Bo’s grandfather, search for the truth, but James goes rogue, and soon finds himself in the dangerous underbelly of the Philadelphia drug sub-culture, where the stakes are high and it’s hard to tell who’s friend and who’s foe.

Dogmatic:

Featuring Dusty Rhodes, the K9 Kid & the Doberman Who Didn’t Like Doughnuts

by Gerry Burke

Genre: Humorous Short Stories 

Every morning I take my constitutional along the beach path in the suburb where I live. The early risers are already there with their dogs, every conceivable breed.


All of the canines have a story to tell, so I thought I might like to speak out on their behalf. You will be surprised with the extent and nature of their adventures. In fact, these humorous dog tales are unbelievable.


We already laud our heroes in the form of Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Snoopy. I hope these captivating stories will now shine a light on the likes of Baloo, Atticus, and William, the Wet Nose Wonder. In the meantime, give your dog a bone.

Citizen Vain:

Stories From Down Under and All Over

by Gerry Burke

Genre: Humorous Short Stories

Stories from Down Under and all over! Humility is not a common virtue among the rich and famous. The protagonists in these narratives come from all parts of the globe, and have experienced the dizzy heights of fame and fortune. These are people who have let vanity overcome wisdom. Tall poppies need to be cut down to size, and plotting their downfall has been my pleasure.

My Book of Revelations:

Stories that Burst the Bubble of Believability

by Gerry Burke

Genre: Humorous Short Stories

History, heroes, horror, and Hollywood! Every story with a sting in the tail. Lady Godiva; The Charge of the Light Brigade; The Borgias; and Tales from the Old West: stories that never happened, but should have. Plus the heroes of today; crime-fighters, patriots, and protagonists of purpose. No wonder the villains never win. Of course, you can’t blame them for trying.

Laugh, smile, snigger, snicker, snort and giggle! The author’s revelations will be hard to believe, and harder to forget. There’s always a bubble to burst.

Gerry Burke received a Jesuit-inspired education at Xavier College in Melbourne, Australia, where he still lives. Before commencing his long career in advertising, the author was employed by an international mining company, which included a three-year stint in New Guinea. He also dabbled in the horse-racing industry, as an owner and breeder, with some success. Being a former accountant and advertising creative, no one expected Gerry to become a published author, but he embraced this initiative to stave off dementia.

He has since penned six novels, seven volumes of short stories, and two offerings of commentary and opinion relating to politics, entertainment, sport and travel. The PEST pseudonym was subjected to a sea change with the introduction of popular discount detective Paddy Pest to booklovers everywhere.

Most people see the garrulous gumshoe from Down Under as a cross between James Bond and Maxwell Smart, and he has been the protagonist in a number of the author’s humour-laden publications. In recent times, there have been diversions into Science Fiction and absolute fiction, all of which have won enthusiastic acclaim.

Mr. Burke’s credentials have been well established, with twelve of his books featuring as a winner or finalist in a variety of international literary competitions. Three volumes have received multiple citations.

Gerry is single and lives with photographs of his best racehorses.

#BlogTour Its a Wonderful Dog By Keri Salas @rabtbooktours #bookpromotions #bookblitz

A Christmas Tail

   

  Animal and Holiday Fiction

  Date Published: November 16, 2023

  Publisher: Acorn Publishing


   

   

  It’s Christmas Eve in western Kansas and a snowstorm is gaining

    strength as Bear Bailey, a devoted Great Pyrenees, tries to comfort his

    beloved owner Mary. She’s in hot water with the local business

    villain, and Bear’s earlier altercation with this miser only seemed to

    make things worse. When Mary blurts out that she wishes for a different

    life, Bear blames himself for her despair and runs away.

  Meanwhile Jiff, a Labrador patiently waiting for his own human to meet him

    at the Rainbow Bridge, sees Bear shivering alone in the blizzard. Knowing

    Bear won’t survive the night without intervention, Jiff agrees to act

    as Bear’s guardian angel on Earth. He is determined to show the Great

    Pyrenees what the lives of the humans around him would have been like

    without his presence over the years.

  A holiday “tail” for those who love the season but feel the

    deep loss of loved ones (both furry and human), It’s a Wonderful Dog

    shines a light on the power of love and community, and reminds us that

    miracles do exist.

  About the Author

Keri Salas grew up a small town girl with a sense of grand adventure. After

    marrying her childhood sweetheart and starting their first business on a

    shoestring budget, she went on to spend the last two decades as a life coach

    helping others reach their dreams.

  The greatest joys in her life are exploring London, snuggling with her dogs

    (past, present, and future), and spending time with her husband David.

    Though not necessarily in that order. She believes that people will knock

    your socks off with their kindness, and life is filled with miracles and

    serendipitous events to rival any great fictional book.

#BlogTour Sub Tales Four By Charles Hood @rabtbooktours #bookblitz #bookpromotions

 

Poopie Suits Series, Book 4

   

  History – US submarine Force

  Date Published: 09-08-2023


   

  Sub Tales 4 is the latest offering by brothers Charles and Frank Hood in

    their prolific output of nonfiction books about the US Submarine Force. Like

    the three volumes preceding it in the series, Sub Tales 4 offers a detailed

    recounting of some of the most pivotal and poignant moments in the rich

    history of the Silent Service. Arranged as an anthology of individual short

    stories, the book covers many subjects with prose, photographs, maps,

    schematics, and other illustrations to complement the narrative.

  About the Author

Charles Hood is a Physician in South Carolina. He is the principal author

    of 7 of the 8 books in the Poopie Suits Series of True Stories, not fiction,

    from the US Submarine Force. Covering decades and wars and the Cold War,

    these stories offer insight into the severe world of the men (and now women)

    living inside a steel tube designed to sink.  What were the pressures

    they faced, the close calls, the unique encounters in ports, how did their

    families cope?  These subjects, and a whole lot more are covered in the

    Poopie Suits Series.

  Frank Hood served on a nuclear submarine from 1968-1972 and his story

    “Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots – Tales from a Submarine Officer

    During the Height of the Cold War”  was his story.  Surviving

    an odd interview with VADM Hyman G. Rickover was the first test.  His

    story interweaves with the culture of the time, the Vietnam War, campus

    protests, the race with the Soviets to build deeper diving, quiter

    submarines, and a lot more.
