Mylo128 


Mylo128 is a thrill ride into the unknown. Sanders Labs has been experimenting with genetics trying to find a cure for PTSD. The implications of this therapy for the military would be amazing. But what if you took it one step further and weaponized it to make the perfect soldier? A soldier that would be stronger, fearless, smarter, and had no remorse for what happens in battle. And what if it all went terribly wrong and the test subjects became psychopaths after getting JM128X with an expiration date of eight months after the initial therapy date? For soldiers like Mel Trask, his only hope is to find Joe Morgan in a town called Pine Creek to see if there is an antidote before he and his team die. Mel and his team will do anything to get the antidote and seek revenge on Sanders Lab for giving them JM128X. All roads lead to Grace Miller in Pine Creek and time is running out.

Le Requin

   Book Cover Submarine




Le Requin is a story about two retired brothers, one a former Naval officer and the other a former Engineer, who love the ocean and sailing. After renting a beautiful sailboat in Corpus Christi, Texas, they set out to cross the Gulf of Mexico, sailing and scuba diving along the way. Their ultimate destination is Key West, Florida, where they intend to fish, relax, see the sights, and bask in the South Florida sunshine. Not long after beginning their voyage, they encounter a group of drug smugglers who are using an old submarine and an offshore oil rig supply boat to transport drugs into the United States. The ruthless dictator from a small, Central American country is behind this operation and is not leaving any witnesses to testify against him. When the brother’s sailboat is observed near an abandoned oil derrick being used to help facilitate the drug transfer, the captain of an Off-shore oil rig supply boat destroys it, thinking its occupants are in the boat, he wants to make sure they are on their way to the bottom of the Gulf. Once back at the pier in Galveston, Texas, in an attempt to recover the $1,000,000.00 paid for their efforts, the Central American dictator has his contacts in the US destroy the offshore oil rig supply boat, killing all on board. The boat’s captain survives, only to be killed a short time later and eventually buried in the soft sandy soil outside Galveston.
The two brothers, who were able to make it safely into Galveston, witness the dictator’s two henchmen's recovery of the dead captain and are able to find the money paid to the supply boat's crew. They use this money to help finance the rest of their trip, only to come across the submarine again. This time, they are able to alert the authorities and help prevent the escape of both the submarine and the dictator’s US-based crew.

The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors

 



The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors

As the holiday season approaches, many authors may feel the pressure to promote their books to capitalize on the gift-giving frenzy. Christmas presents the perfect opportunity for book lovers and gift buyers to discover new titles, whether they're shopping for friends, family, or themselves. However, like many things in life, timing is everything. Starting your Christmas book promotion early can make all the difference between a successful holiday season and one that misses its mark. Here's why you should begin your festive marketing efforts well in advance:

1. Beat the Holiday Noise

The Christmas season is notoriously busy in the marketing world. Every brand, author, and creator is competing for attention. Starting early gives your book a chance to be seen before the onslaught of holiday advertisements fills everyone's inbox and social feeds. By the time the holiday rush is in full swing, potential buyers may already have your book in mind because you've been quietly (but consistently) promoting it for weeks.

2. Build Momentum with Time

Promoting a book isn't just about slapping a discount on it and sending out a single email. It takes time to build momentum. Early promotions allow you to create a strategy that unfolds over several weeks. You can introduce teasers, sneak peeks, special holiday editions, or bundled offers to keep interest growing. Slow and steady marketing helps your book stay top of mind as Christmas approaches, giving it the best chance to become a sought-after gift.

3. More Time for Book Reviews and Word of Mouth

If you start your Christmas promotions early, you give readers the chance to discover, read, and review your book before the season is in full swing. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations can be your best marketing tools, but they take time to build. Reaching out to book bloggers, influencers, and early readers in October or November ensures that your book will have reviews circulating by the time shoppers start making their lists.

4. Leverage Special Holiday Offers

Holiday marketing often includes special deals like discounts, limited-time offers, or exclusive content. Starting early allows you to plan and spread these promotions out to create sustained interest in your book. Rather than running one last-minute holiday sale, you can entice readers with pre-Christmas offers like Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, as well as more niche promotions like "12 Days of Christmas" bundles.

5. Create Buzz with Holiday-Themed Content

When you start your promotion early, you have more time to engage readers with holiday-themed content. Whether it's a festive short story based on your book, a holiday reading guide, or a giveaway that ties into the Christmas spirit, early promotions give you time to create content that connects with the season. You can also align your social media campaigns, blogs, and email newsletters with the holiday vibe to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your audience.

6. Take Advantage of Media and Press Opportunities

Journalists and media outlets start looking for holiday-related content and recommendations as early as September and October. If you want your book featured in holiday gift guides, interviews, or podcasts, you need to get your pitches out early. By getting ahead of the game, you increase the chances of your book being highlighted in these valuable spots, reaching readers who may not have discovered it otherwise.

7. Give Yourself Time to Plan and Adjust

Promoting a book during the holidays can be overwhelming, especially if you're juggling other responsibilities like writing your next project. Starting early gives you the time and flexibility to plan your campaigns, test different strategies, and adjust as needed. You won't feel the same pressure to rush through everything, and your promotions will likely be more effective as a result.

8. Extend the Shopping Season

Not everyone waits until Christmas Eve to buy gifts (though some do). Many people start shopping for the holidays as early as October. Early promotion means your book will be visible to these early-bird shoppers, who often appreciate getting their holiday lists checked off in advance. By starting early, you're effectively extending the holiday shopping season for your book and increasing its chances of being purchased.

9. Stay Ahead of Shipping Delays

With the rise of online shopping, shipping delays during the holiday season have become a common problem. Starting your promotion early encourages readers to purchase your book before the shipping window gets tight. This is especially important if you're offering signed copies or special editions that may take longer to fulfill.

10. Less Stress for You

Finally, starting early means less stress for you as an author. By spacing out your promotions and marketing efforts, you can avoid the last-minute scramble that often accompanies holiday sales. You'll have time to refine your messaging, test different ads, and ensure that everything is running smoothly without the pressure of a looming deadline.

Conclusion: Don't Wait, Start Today

The holiday season is a golden opportunity for authors to showcase their books, but only if you're prepared. By starting your Christmas book promotion early, you'll avoid the chaos of the holiday rush, build meaningful engagement with your audience, and give your book the best chance to become a Christmas bestseller. So don’t wait—start planning your promotions today and set yourself up for a successful holiday season!

Dangerous Bureau

  Book Cover



Murderers. Psychopaths. Pedophiles. They'll create a new America. They'll develop dangerous technology and find ways to invade private citizens' lives. They'll aid corporate America in creating elitism -- taking over its democracy and manipulating its economy.  

That's Eric Colvin's view. He runs a secretive, very powerful rogue government program. The Intellect Bureau. If criminals are super smart, Colvin will covertly save them from prison or execution in exchange for their brain power. They'll number in few, but have extreme influence.

Tara Helms, a housewife and computer whiz, learns quite-by-accident that her child's killer is in the IB. She'll team with a dying, guilt-ridden, former IB agent in attempting to destroy Eric Colvin. The fight will be an arduous, brutal one -- to the death.
