Dear Reader, Love P.K. Eden

 

Dear Reader,

As a child, as you read or listened to those wonderful tales of princesses in towers, fairies bringing gifts to the new baby or princes fighting to save his one true love rom dragons, witches, or ogres, have you ever wondered what it would be like if all those wonderful and magical things in the fairy tales really did exist? I know I did. This is why when I decided to write fantasy I chose to write about some of the artifacts in the fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm beginning with Snow White’s Magic Mirror.

But I knew I needed help to properly tell a story that would combine the world of today with the world the Brothers Grimm wrote about in their famous but also rather bleak and often gloomy stories. I asked a wonderful fellow writer, Patt Mihailoff, to help me blend today’s facts with yesterday’s fiction. Fortunately, she agreed, and P. K. Eden was born along with the first book in a three-book series about the Primogen Sentinels. The Sentinels defend the magical objects from fairy tales and folklore across all seven continents from discovery by mankind and from falling into the hands of Taltos, a rogue splinter group with followers who were once Primogens who want to use the objects for personal gain.

In book one, The Mirror, Snow White’s Mirror, has activated and predicts a major catastrophe if Dr. Ben Michaels gets into the cab at Penn Station, New York that is hit by a city truck and explodes. It becomes the calling of Siene Dower, a direct descendent of The Brothers Grimm and one of the Primogen Sentinels, to stop him and find out who wants him dead. She suspects it is the head of Taltos but needs Ben to help her discover why. The answer takes Ben and Siene, along with her brother, Reed, Sentinels from two continents, and both Lina, Thumbelina actually, and Shard, a piece of the Magic Mirror, in a race to find the answers before Taltos gains control.

After reading The Mirror, I’d like to ask you this question - Fairy Tales – Fact or Fiction. You decide.

I wish I could speak with you personally and hear your thoughts on this fantasy romp the blends love, betrayal, and commitment into the story Patt and I envisioned from page one. We both hope you enjoy The Mirror and hope to hear from you in the future.

All the best.

P. K. Eden

What if you found out the artifacts from the fairy tales you loved as a child were real and one of them just predicted your death? That’s the dilemma Scientist Ben Michaels faces when Siene Dower, descendant of the Brothers Grimm, tells him that Snow White’s Magic Mirror sent her to stop him from getting into the cab that crashed and burst into flame right before his eyes at the intersection at Penn Station, New York City. Does practical Dr. Michaels dismiss everything he knows about reality and science and follow the curious and beautiful woman who just saved his life?

The Mirror is available at Amazon.

Dear Reader, Love Virginia Barlow

 

Dear Reader,

I wrote this book for you, and I couldn’t do it without you and your loving support. I put words together from the depths of my heart to transport you to another world where true love conquers all. Where true heroes exist.

Heroes who listen, understand, and love the way every woman should be loved. As her unique self.

I believe that we are all created perfect, and we should be loved for who we are and not who we can be changed into.

My daughter’s best friend had a boyfriend who told her he would introduce her to his parents when she changed into someone his parents could accept. This was not a religious, ethical, or orientation problem. Just a man who did not see the worth of the beautiful female before him.

My thoughts were, that this is unacceptable.

If there is anything I wish to portray in my stories, it is acceptance, love, and gratitude for every perfect person we encounter. 

Thank you for choosing my book and taking the time to read the words I put together so lovingly for you. You make my world perfect, and I hope I bring happiness and love into yours.

If you have not read one of my stories before and you have one in your hand, thank you.

I find fulfillment in the words and stories I create, and I hope to entertain you. To bring tears to your eyes, to tug at your heartstrings, to make you laugh, and to give you hope.

If I have succeeded in one of these, I am grateful. 

I could talk about crazy times, finding world peace, politics, religion, sports, diverse backgrounds, generational gaps, and what is wrong with the world at large, but truthfully, I would rather write and know that I brought a smile to your lips, or a new dream to your heart.

I have researched my work and portrayed the times to the best of my knowledge and hope you can see the scenes as clearly as I do when I write.

They were created with you in mind, dear reader.

Thank you for your support and love,

Love, Author

Dear Reader, Love Jörg H. Trauboth

 

Dear Reader,

You see the cover, read the back  and think: "Oh my God. Why should I read something by an 81-year-old author? Old men are almost always negative!  Who is this old man from Germany anyway, and what qualifies him to call himself a writer?"

Thank you, dear reader, for making it this far. Because this gives me the chance to say who is really sitting behind this typewriter. I truly believe that I have had a somewhat unusual journey, and it has shaped me to my core. 

I was born in 1943 during a bombing raid on Berlin by British and US bombers.  It was quite close, as I welcomed the world in an air raid shelter while explosions and fires raged outside. Perhaps this has left its mark in my genes. From then on, believe it or not, I lived in permanent crisis management:

My girlfriend Martina had a child at 18 with me, I was 19. Not easy at all. We had no money for a family. So I joined the German Air Force, climbed the ranks, made a career, flew 2,000 hours in Phantom and Tornado fighter jets and survived three critical flight accidents. My guardian angels really did a great job. By that time, I had also learned how to deal with personal and political crises, as I represented German interests in NATO in Brussels. But then I became curious about the world outside and left the military as a colonel in general staff service at the age of 50. 

You want to know more about your author? Okay. I then was trained in London as a special agent for kidnapping and extortion, build up my own company, helping people in crisis situations with my task force in over 300 cases. I sold the company and became a crisis counselor for people confronted with sudden death in the family. Pure crisis management, and now not for pay, but out of love for humanity. I love people. 

Meanwhile, I  processed much of my experiences in political thrillers that made me well-known in Germany. Readers say I am the German Tom Clancy. I find that a bit exaggerated, but I feel honored. My books all have a current political backdrop and always end well. I want my readers to be able to sleep well after a page-turner.

I myself couldn’t sleep well when I witnessed how, 500 miles east of me, Putin invaded Ukraine just to annex a country he believes belongs to him. After two years of war, I thought about how to solve the problem in new book.  So, I researched in Kyiv, Moscow, and flew with my plane to the Baltic States and Poland, where people are even more afraid of a Russian attack than in Germany. It took about six months, and then I was ready for the plot of my new thriller:

A group of oligarchs led by Alexei Sokolov wants to overthrow the Russian President Ivan in Moscow. Just as Brutus and the senators did with Julius Caesar in Rome on the Ides of March. The plan is clever, but Alexei has a problem. He is having an affair with Yulia, the partner of the Russian President. Both are under pressure, as Ivan knows something. On the flight to Moscow  the plane with Alexei and Yulia on board is hijacked. The Ukrainian hijacker demands the release of his brother from Russian captivity. When the Russian President refuses, a drama unfolds in the skies over Europe. The hijacker shoots the crew. The plane is without pilots and is programmed to crash into the Berlin Reichstag. The German government considers shooting down the passenger plane, which is legally forbidden. Crisis management between Berlin, Kyiv, and Washington is under enormous time pressure, as the plane is running out of fuel. The former elite soldier Marc Anderson and his family are also on board. They are invited to a wedding celebration in Vilnius. Marc’s wife, Jelke, pleads with her husband, a hobby pilot, to save them all. He and Alexei go into the cockpit and try to take control of the ailing Boeing 737-300. Their chances are extremely slim.Will they manage to fly and land the plane? What will happen to the Russian President, who knows of his partner's betrayal?

At this point, I have to stop. But you can be sure: the ending is spectacular. By page 180 at the latest, you’ll want to know how it continues. Otherwise, you won’t be able to relax. At least, that’s what the readers of the German novel say.  

The book contains all the elements that my readers love: an exciting story against the backdrop of the current political situation, featuring the hero Marc Anderson, who suddenly wavers but then rises again, with love, sex, and plenty of flying. So, it's a thriller from real life. My life.

By the way, I’ve been married to the young girl from back then for 60 years. We have two wonderful sons and three grandchildren. And my next Marc Anderson thriller is already in the pipeline. 

81 is not old, right?

Enjoy The End of the Kremlin Czar by a German bestselling author. 

 

Jörg H. Trauboth, born in 1943 near Berlin, logged over two thousand flight hours as a Weapon Systems Officer Instructor in the Luftwaffe, flying PHANTOM F-4F / RF-4E and TORNADO fighter jets, and over 3000 hours in light aircraft. At the age of fifty, he left the service with the rank of Colonel in the General Staff. He received training as a Special Risk Consultant from the English Control Risk Group and served as Managing Director Germany, dealing with extortion and kidnapping cases in South America and Eastern Europe. Shortly thereafter, he founded his own consulting firm, quickly establishing an outstanding international reputation. Trauboth protected his clients with a 24-hour task force during product extortions, product recalls, kidnappings, and image crises. He was the first President of the European Crisis Management Academy in Vienna and President of the American Yankee Association.

He is known as a respected expert in the media on security-related topics. He volunteers as an emergency counselor and is a member of the Crisis Intervention Team (KIT Bonn) of the German Foreign Office. He is a private pilot, married, with two sons and three grandchildren.

In 2002, Trauboth wrote the now out of print standard work “Crisis Management for Company Threats”.

In 2016 the follow-up work was published with Jörg H. Trauboth as editor in collaboration with five authors: “Crisis Management in Companies and Public Institutions”.

Terror expert J. H. Trauboth presented his debut novel in 2015 with the Germany thriller “Three Brothers”. (Available in English). In 2019 “Operation Jerusalem” followed and in 2020 “Omega”. The trilogy is about the former elite soldier Marc Anderson and his team. With these three self-contained thrillers, Trauboth is rated by many readers as the “German Tom Clancy.” The trilogy is available as a printed edition, eBook and audio book.

His first detective novel, “Jakobs Weg” (German), followed in 2021. The highly explosive topic of “sexual abuse of children” is processed sensitively in a scenario on the Way of Saint James and at the end offers contact options for those seeking help.

In 2022, the novella “Bonjour Saint-Ex” was published (German) in which the passionate pilot Jörg H. Trauboth turns the last flight of the legend Antoine de Saint Exupéry into an exciting literary event.

Readers wanted a sequel to the Marc Anderson series. In 2023, ZarenTod – Das Ende der Präsidenten was published, a highly topical political thriller. The Russian president and new tsar, Ivan Pavlenko, suddenly shows his true face during the war in Ukraine. He wants the old Soviet Union back. The world is on the brink. The influential oligarch, Alexei Sokolov, wants to prevent Ivan’s megalomaniac plans and is planning a fundamental new beginning for Russia. To achieve this, the Russian president must be removed. But the plan goes awry. Ex-elite soldier Marc Anderson intervenes. Will Czar Ivan die? What will become of Europe? The book 8/ 2024 in English „The Death of the Kremlin Czar” is the fourth political thriller in the Marc Anderson series.

Dear Reader Love George Almond

 

Dear Reader,

Being a serial adventurer myself, I was immediately drawn to the story when Lord Hunt and Norgay Tenzing (the first man to successfully climb Everest) revealed how they had examined aerial photos taken by the pilots in 1933 to identify the best routes to the top.  Due diligence came no higher! 

After spending time on square-rigged ships, I was impressed that the heroine of my story, Lucy Houston, had bought the beautiful steam yacht Liberty which had been built for Joseph Pulitzer, one of Americas's enduring and prominent leaders. 

My lawyer in Century City advised me write the story and then Oscar winner screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) added valuable impetus because his relative had led the 1933 expedition.

Once I started my archive hunt, there was no stopping me.  I went to all the original locations: Houses of Parliament, Westland aircraft factory, RAF Museum, Kinrara (Lucy Houston's priceless estate in Scotland), the Maharaja of Jodhpur's hunting lodge, the Terai jungle and then the foothills of Everest itself. In the photographic archive of The Times in London, I found a box of precious photographs which filled in the rest of the story. 

From a junkyard for old RAF aircraft, we found the wreck of the only surviving biplane which is helping us finalise manufacture of a new Everest-enabled biplane (Lucy2). For this associated venture, I am supported by highly experienced professional British and American pilots who agree, like many of the world's 500,000 pilots, that touring the Himalayan peaks in a single engine open double winger riding invisible currents as wild as Hawaiian surf is no place for scaredy-cats!

Along the fascinating turns on my journey, many significant film professionals have urged me to continue. Sadly I'm no natural author. I did not study English when I was at Oxford University so the finer points of literature may be missing in my text, but hopefully the story will give great credence to those who can admire the 35 men under Lucy Houston's patronage who created a unique moment in Everest's history.

 

George Almond, the grandson of a Wyoming horse rancher, enjoys revisiting great adventures. Born in London and educated in France and Oxford University he has ridden horseback 1500 miles across Europe, worked for Calgary Stampede's Champion Chuck Wagon driver,  sailed two oceans with the world's most experienced square-rig sea captain, taken the Flying Scotsman steam train from Boston to Houston where he was hired by Neiman Marcus. These days Almond makes his home in Europe, working on other books, including one about Jack Rackham and his two lady pirates who formerly sailed the Caribbean, preying upon merchant vessels. 

 

EVEN HIGHER THAN EVEREST is a vastly entertaining, fact-based, yet dramatized story of a London cockney heiress who, in the 1930s, sent a small fleet of double winger biplanes on a daring and remarkably dangerous mission to fly over Mt. Everest and film the world’s highest and most famous mountain peak.

Author George Almond met the Himalayan heroes (Sherpa Tenzing and Lord Hunt), who explained how the first aerial photographs, taken in 1933, assisted their heroic ascent of Everest in 1953. Captivated by this dazzling and little known tale, the book - Even Higher than Everest - is a dramatized recount of the tenacity of the heiress Lucy Houston and her team of prestigious aviators whose five aircraft flew to the world's highest mountains.  A short 1930s film from footage of Houston’s flight, titled Wings Over Everest, won an Oscar in 1936 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_Over_Everest 

Commenting on his work, author George Almond says: “Inspired by true events of that first flight over Everest, the novel Even Higher Than Everest follows skilled personnel in finance, diplomacy, media, filming, engineering and aviation, all aiming for a shared objective. How these characters blended successfully, overcoming constant setbacks and challenges, was in itself a major accomplishment. I have followed the truth, tweaking just a few elements, in recounting the event.”

PRAISE:

“Yay, George Almond! You DID it! You delivered a fine story- -and a fun story- -with your Higher Than Everest dramatization. I loved many aspects about this book. You had me on the edge of my seat with the actual flights over the Himalayas. I could SEE the mountains in my mind's eye and could feel the tension and the dangers they faced.” - Amazon (Marla Bray)

Dear Reader, Love Terese Luikens

 

Dear Reader,

First of all, thank you for choosing my book to read. Even though you may not have experienced the personal tragedy of a parent’s suicide, I believe you will still find this book to be relatable on mutiple fronts such as growing through insecurities, surviving challenges in marriage and raising children who don't grow up to be exactly as you imagined. It is a very human story that bumps up against some form of the eternal question, "Why does God allow bad things to happen?"

One of the things I worried about when I began writing this book was, “What will my siblings think?” After all, I am the sixth of seven kids and birth order does count. The lower down the ladder you are, the less likely your words count for much. Besides, no one else in my family had written a book before. Who was I to think I could do such a thing? And to write about our dad’s suicide. Wasn’t that a private matter? 

Yet, the story, I believe, had to be told because silence only compounds our anguish while speaking up has a mysterious way of helping us to heal. 

While writing the book, I spoke to my siblings about it. I needed their help in getting dates, events and names correct. During those conversations, I learned that I was not the only one who’d wrestled with mistrust, anger, shame and confusion as a result of our dad’s suicide.  

We’d all been left to work through our own grief on our own. Mom was physically present, but emotionally absent and suicide was not a topic that anyone discussed. Though we’d each longed for a helping hand, a wise word of advice and trustworthy intimacy, none of us knew where to find what we needed. As a result, we’d all learned how to survive, but it took many of us a long time to know how to thrive. 

Talking about the past with some of my brothers and sisters gave me insight into their struggles as well as my own. Sharing our common sorrow brought us closer together. 

I really did not have to worry about what my siblings thought about me writing my book. Even though I am the sixth of seven, to them, my words counted!

 

Terese Luikens has been married for forty-four years to the same man, although she is on her third wedding ring, having lost one and worn out another. She lives in Sandpoint, Idaho, enjoys being mother to three grown sons and grandmother to her much-loved grandchildren. She is the author of A Heart’s Journey to Forgiveness, a Memoir of her inspiring journey of emotional healing from her father’s suicide. She facilitates retreats and workshops focusing on forgiveness, and publishes her own blog, Why Bother?

For Terese Luikens, a picture-perfect childhood it was not. Frequent cross country moves, an emotionally absent mother and an alcoholic father who ends his life by suicide when Terese is just thirteen years old. 

The sixth of seven children, Terese grew up in an unstable and chaotic household–invisible to her mom yet cherished by her father. 

This heartfelt memoir documents the chain reaction of a tumultuous family history. From her stormy childhood to the far-reaching effects of her father’s suicide, Terese shares her inspiring journey to escape the shame of her past, find healing and live, learn to trust, and discover faith in a real and personal God.  

A Heart’s Journey to Forgiveness is available at Amazon.

 

 

 

 

Dear Reader, Love Nancy Golden

 

Dear Reader,

I am thrilled that you have chosen to read the Ring of Rosin! I wanted to share with you why I write what I write. If you check out my website, nancygoldenbooks.com, you will find that my tagline is “Light in the Darkness.” I believe there is way too much darkness in the world. We are all going through so many trials and tribulations. To pick up a book is a terrific opportunity to take a break from all of that and be transported to another place where you can forget your troubles for a while. You can have some breathing space and refresh before you must enter the fray again. That is my heart’s desire for you, Dear Reader. When you pick up one of my books, you will find yourself entertained and you are able to forget your troubles for a little while. There will be challenges and many obstacles that must be overcome in this epic fantasy and you will be reading a well-crafted story. And when you are done, you will feel better, rather than worse, after reading my book.

So, let’s talk about Ring of Rosin a little bit. It’s the second book in my fantasy trilogy and I am so excited to have launched it. It is a stand-alone in that you can go ahead and read without reading Book 1, Sword of Fate, but if you do read Book 1 first, you will have a richer comprehension of the characters. Knowing their back stories will make the journey more enjoyable but it’s not necessary to understand what’s going on with Book 2. I’m very excited about the new characters that I introduce and the elements of cross-cultural interaction inherent in Ring of Rosin. I had a lot of fun throwing together characters from very different backgrounds and documenting their struggle to understand each other and get along.

One of my favorite reviews from Amazon says:

“The Ring of Rosin is a great book for young and old readers alike. The story is a fantasy adventure of young leaders trying to find their way and coming together, in spite of or because of their differences, and forming a powerful bond for good. Character development, including their companion animals, makes The Ring of Rosin an entertaining and inspiring read!”

If you like dragons and other magical creatures you will enjoy those aspects in my books. If you, like me, love horses, then you will also enjoy the three horses that I introduce into the Ring of Rosin. Each one has its own personality and has a role in the story.

Will the Ring of Rosin’s power on the Day of Questioning help Rugal defeat the foreign threat to Elayas, or will it be used to destroy him?  

Read along and see!

My mission is simple: to write quality stories that speak to the hearts of my readers and to provide positive messaging, leaving them feeling better when they are done. My books will brighten your day. Thank you for choosing Ring of Rosin, Dear Reader. I am so glad you are joining me on this fantasy adventure as King Rugal faces his greatest challenge since ascending the throne of Elayas.

Darkness may descend, but light shall overcome it.

~Kargolith Proverb
