Flights of Angels : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: This is the third installment of in the Exit Unicorns series and will take you on a epic journey through Ireland and Russia.

This book will leave you wanting more, just as you did with the first two books, and maybe even more

Book Description: This is the third book in Cindy Brandner's well written Exit Unicorns series continues the story of Casey and Pamela Riordan, Pat Riordan and Jamie Kirkpatrick. Jamie struggles to find his way in life after tragic events and unfortunate circumstances. Pamela and Casey Riordan try to forge a normal life even with lies, betrayal and a silent struggle that costs more than blood.

Readers who enjoy Diana Gabaldon will enjoy FLIGHTS OF ANGELS.  

Author's Inspiration:  A long time ago someone, referring to the long conflict in Northern Ireland, asked me the question 'The Irish, do they even know what they are fighting about?" These books are my answer to that question.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Colin Farrell, though I'm partial to a young Liam Neeson as well.

From the Book: We begin over a great sea, the western ocean on the rim of the world. Only stars light our way, for it is still night, though our travels will take us toward dawn. This is an ocean of great storm-tossed waters and strange, still latitudes where things disappear, never to be seen again. At its surface, it is a bowl of tears—of loss and new hope and of families left behind. Below the surface it is a place of mystery as unfathomed as the very universe. A place that is as much home to such as we as the waning of the moon or the whispering heart of the forest.

Cindy Brandner

  

Ireland is one of the grand passions of my life, writing is another, so when the time came to get serious about my life's work the two things were a very natural fit. I wanted to tell the story of Northern Ireland though, and for whatever reason it was the modern era of the Troubles that called to me most strongly. The characters have been with me for a long time, and feel like family to me now. A reader once said to me that these characters felt so real to her that she was certain they had existed somewhere, some time and had chosen me to tell their story. I often feel that way myself, I just get out of the way and let them tell their story through me. 

These books are Irish history, yes, but they are also the story of people who live inside that history, with all the foibles of humanity--love, hate, revenge, joy and sorrow. They are the story of marriages, friendships and lives lived out under the weight of an extraordinary history in an extraordinary country. 

These books will appeal to anyone with Irish ancestry, I believe. I get many letters from around the world telling me that the reader had no idea about Irish history before, I also get a lot of letters telling me the characters feel like family or very dear friends now, which is my favourite compliment.

Ollie's Cloud : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: A fork in the road will determine a friendship's fate in this compelling novel. 

If you only read one historical this year, make it this one.

Book Description: During a time when a new "heretical" religion is emerging in the Middle East amidst enormous turmoil and persecution, a Muslim boy is abducted from a small village in Persia and Christianized by a wealthy family in Regency England. What could possibly go wrong?

Those who enjoy Ken Follett will like Ollie's Cloud.  

Author's Inspiration:  The true history of the birth of a new religion in the nineteenth century, and how its development paralleled that of earlier faiths, including intense persecution of its Founder and early believers.

From the Book: Standing on the rough deck, Ali can make out a dark scuff that mars the otherwise featureless fog into which the Prince Regent sails. From the pointing fingers of passengers all around him, and the excited cries of England! England!, he knows that his voyage is almost over. Dressed in English clothes purchased for him in Bombay, he looks like an English child with a tan. His mother stands behind him, her frail arms wrapped snugly around his chest to protect him from the damp air.

Hamfist Over The Trail: The Air Combat Adventures of Hamilton "Hamfist" Hancock : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: Daring dogfights in the air over the Ho Chi Minh trail are contained this riveting tale of combat, loss and love from G.E. Nolly! 

It was over before I was ready for the book to endam looking forward to more adventures with "Hamfist" Hamilton.

Book Description: Air Force pilot Hamilton Hancock has volunteered for Vietnam, and soon finds himself flying over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the slowest, smallest aircraft in the Air Force inventory - the O-2A. As he battles an enemy gunner with a deadly record, he must also battle his personal demons, as his friends are lost in combat. His life finally starts to take a turn for the better as he discovers his soul-mate while on R&R. But first, he must make it home from Vietnam alive.

Readers who enjoy Mark Berent, Stephen Coonts, James Michener will like HAMFIST OVER THE TRAIL.  

Author's Inspiration:  This novel was inspired by my experiences as an O-2A Forward Air Controller (FAC) in Vietnam, flying over the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Most of the stories in the book are based on actual events.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Jake Gyllenhall

From the Book: There were a few letters from cousins and other relatives. The Mortuary Affairs Officer told me that, under no circumstances, should I be the person to inform any relatives of Mitch's status, so I just put the letters in the box with his clothing, to later send to his next-of-kin.

There was a letter from a girl, I couldn't tell if it was his girlfriend or just a friend from college. I sent the form letter of notification to her, along with my contact information.

Finally, there was a letter from his mother. It had been written on December 28th, three days after we left for Vietnam. It was written in real ink, not ballpoint pen, with the kind of careful cursive script that indicated the letter had meant a lot to the author:

“My Dearest Son,

Words can't describe how proud your father and I are of you. You were always the one we counted on whenever we needed anything. I know it wasn't easy for you to help us on Second Lieutenant pay, and we really appreciate it.

Your sister really feels bad about the way she treated you right before you left. I don't think she really meant all the things she said, I think her boyfriend put some of those anti-war ideas in her head. Right after you left, she got in a big argument with him and broke up with him, and I heard he ran off to Canada. Good riddance, I say. She's better off without him. She said she's planning to write to you soon. She wants to send you some cookies she's planning to bake, but she's worried they might go stale before they get to you. What do you think?

We love you very much. We think of you every day, and we pray for your safe return every night. Please stay safe!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy”

I put down the letter from Mitch's mother and cried uncontrollably.

G.E. Nolly

  

George Nolly served two tours of duty in Vietnam, the first flying the O-2A featured in this book, the second flying the F4 Phantom II over North Vietnam. George served 11 years in the Air Force, then became a pilot for United Airlines. During his 5-year furlough from United, he spent another six years as an Air Force pilot. After his retirement from United, he flew B-777s for Jet Airways in India for three years. He has Master of Science Degrees in Systems Management and Education, and has a Doctor of Business Administration Degree, specializing in Homeland Security. He is currently a Flight Instructor in the B-777 and B-787.

Favorite Food: I'm not a vegetarian, but I avoid most meat. Basically, I don't eat anything that knew its mother - lamb, cow, deer, pig, etc. I eat lots of fish and poultry, as well as vegetables.

Favorite Place to Write: Most of my writing is done in my head while I walk my dog, Rocky. Then I sit down for several hours and it all spills out, thousands of words at a time. I wrote the second sequel to this book in 29 days. I just let the story percolate inside me until it has to come out. Writing the Hamfist Trilogy has been very cathartic. At some point I'd like to return to Vietnam and put some ghosts to rest.

Favorite Music: My favorite music is oldies from the sixties and anything by Frank Sinatra.

Favorite TV show: Television-wise, I'm a news junkie. Most of the time I'm home I'm watching either the news channels or financial shows. In the evening I love to watch reruns of King of Queens and Frasier.

Mrs. Tuesday's Departure: A Historical Novel of World War Two : Free Kindle Book

Editor's Note: This novel is wonderful accompaniment to a soft chair, a cup of tea, and a drizzly Saturday afternoon. 

This is the story of incredible love and selfless sacrifice in the face of tragedy.

Book Description: This is a historical novel set during World War II and relates the story of two sisters who hid an abandoned child. Spanning fifty years and two continents, this story takes the reader on adventure that seeks to redefine love and family loyalty.

Author's Inspiration:  My mother's Hungarian heritage was the start and then I began to find different threads, from news stories and actual historical figures, that told the story of each character. Finally, like most stories, it found its energy in the universal question: What would you do if...?

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Leryl Streep would play Natalie, Mila Kunis would play Mila

From the Book: The old woman dropped the unopened package onto the edge of the sofa. Pausing for a moment, she looked around the room, at the opulent mahogany armoire and card table, the tall windows whose heavy brocade curtains always stood open so that she could enjoy what little light came into the room. She was glad that she would soon leave the weight of it behind forever.

The Mummifier's Daughter : Free Kindle eBook

Editor's Note: This book is an awesome blend of historical mystery, thriller, romantic suspense, and is all painted with amazingly vivid descriptions of ancient Egypy!

A fun and intriguing Egyptian historical mystery- with a twist!

Book Description: Neti-Kerty is an unusual thing in ancient Egypt because her father taught her the art of embalming and preparing bodies for mummification and burial. She is familiar with biology and anatomy, and being a bright girl she grew into an apprentice for her beloved father. Her skills drew the attention of Shabaka, a Nubian police man sent by the Pharaoh to uncover the mystery behind some dodgy things going on in the busy city of Thebes.

Readers who like John Maddox Roberts, Stephanie Dray or Ken Follett will like  THE MUMMIFIER'S DAUGHTER.

Author's Inspiration: I've always been fascinated by the mystery and magic of ancient Egypt.

Actor Who Would Play the Main Character: Megan Fox.

From the Book: Neti-Kerty and Shabaka ascended the steps leading to Thebes’s largest Per-Nefer chambers. The high-roofed building with its impressive pillared entrance, festooned with hieroglyphics honoring the gods, was divided into a series of chambers: where individual embalmers set about their work whilst training up the next generation of embalmers.
Their entrance was greeted by the familiar smell of burning spices: the smell originating from the lamps lighting the main chamber, all being filled with a herd infused oil. The smell, although overwhelming, could not completely dispel the stench of dead bodies.
