    EXCERPT:

    “Something has already happened to Akamai. And what— we’re to trust this, this Lili Mele in his place?”

    Mele bristled, but tempered herself with a glance to Akamai, finding his eyes staring dead into hers. To her surprise, he tapped his lips. A gesture on a list he wrote. It meant she was allowed to speak freely. Mele burst from her seat and pressed her hands into the table. “Lili Mele? I am not the one who sold myself to the council of nobles in exchange for a good word with the emperor. Don’t fool yourself, Lili Takaahae, this is not the world we used to live in, and I am the most valuable asset you sniveling council of cowards has. What choice is there but to wait for now? Min needs the energy when he returns. I’d imagine tracing the edge of the land has drained his stores far lower than any of ours. Now I’m begging to return to our plans for when the search parties return. My brain has been decaying with every syllable that exits your mouth.”

    Author Bio:

    An LGBTQ, Black-Latino young adult, Paul Williams has struggled with his identity, eventually leading to mental illness. However, with support from his siblings, he gained new confidence to express his inner emotions through art and writing. At age seventeen, he published his first book. He is now working endlessly to carve a place for himself among the creative professionals and pave the way for other talented ‘students’ of art and literature.

    The Walk-On Tour Base Book Tour PLUS A Giveaway!

    Commercial Fiction

    Date Published: February 23, 2023

    Publisher: Acorn Publishing

     

    photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

     

    In the twilight of his NFL career as a middle linebacker for the Chicago
    Storm, Mike “the Steelman” Stalowski masks his physical pain and
    mental anguish with alcohol and painkillers. The fan favorite has a rebel
    image and a notorious reputation, and he plays a violent gridiron game
    fueled by inner rage. 

    While estranged from his wife and living in the fishbowl environment of
    professional sports, he unexpectedly meets the fresh-out-of-college Kim
    Richardson. She sees through Mike’s star persona to who he really
    is—a kind guy from the Southeast Side of Chicago who has never
    forgotten his humble blue-collar roots. The lives of the star-crossed,
    seemingly mismatched couple collide during a whirlwind romance that
    culminates in a tragic series of events.

    The Walk-On is a timeless tale of love and loss that explores the
    consequences of personal decisions and the rewards of faith, redemption, and
    hope.

    Inspiration for my writing – Richard Podkowski – Guest Blog #2

    My inspiration for writing mostly comes from my life experiences. Often I get nuggets of ideas from who, or what I see on the street, in a store, while shopping or walking, or sitting in my car stuck in traffic or at a stoplight. Sometimes I feel like it’s spontaneous combustion, where a theme or plot point explodes and swirls in my head, refusing to stop.

    Inspiration comes at different times of the day or night, in chunks, or a very specific thought when I least expect it. I need to quickly make a note to myself so I don’t forget. Usually, I “see it before I write it.”

    Once my mind’s eye has a snapshot or reel of events, I try to layer the past, present, and future of relatable characters in realistic settings. I need to balance the use of foreshadowing and incorporating unexpected twists and turns to keep readers engaged. Inspiration comes from songs and lyrics, nature, and everyday urban life. Local history, neighborhoods, especially the grit and the glitz of big cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and NYC are particularly interesting to me.

    People in general inspire me, regardless of their particular age, profession, economic or social status. I’m intrigued by unlikely heroes and those who live in the shadows of others.

    Although I can’t remember where I left my keys, I do recall conversations, social encounters, scenery, and even specific objects (like Mike Stalowski’s 1970 Chevelle Super Sport) that may find their way into my writing. I tend to look for good to overcome evil, although darkness, violence, and tragedy don’t frighten me.

    Writer’s block is real and I’ve suffered through it more times than I care to think about. But ultimately, a person ahead of me in the grocery check-out lane, a sad or salacious news story, or simply sitting in traffic on the 110 gets my creativity flowing again. Stressed and eager to get to my final destination, I never know which song on the radio, scene outside my window, or vehicle merging onto the freeway or suddenly cutting across four lanes to exit will be my next spark of inspiration.

     

    Early Reviews

    “An interesting read where star linebacker Mike Stalowski confronts the inevitable challenges every NFL player faces as they transition to their post-football life. His experiences may seem exaggerated, but they are still very real.”

    Gary Fencik, Chicago Bears, Super Bowl XX Champion

     

    “Despite his NFL fame and bad-boy attitude and antics, I empathized with the humble guy from a blue-collar background fighting painful emotional and physical demons. . .Ultimately, The Walk-On is an incredible story of love and loss, with faith and mentorship fostering hope for the future.”

    Bill Rancic, Author of the New York Times bestseller, You’re Hired

     

    “Just like the protagonist’s very fast sports car, The Walk-On will leave you, from the very first paragraph, just a little breathless as you navigate all the sharp turns that come fast and furious at the reader. . .”

    Jean Becker, Author of the New York Times bestseller, The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H. W. Bush’s Post-Presidency

     

    “The Walk-On is a fascinating story of self-sabotage and redemption. A page-turner!!!!” 

    Mary Pat Kelly, Bestselling author of Galway Bay, Of Irish Blood, and Irish Above All

    The Atropos Maker Virtual Book Tour

    Political Thriller

    Date Published: June 17, 2022

    Publisher: Mindstir Media

    photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

     

    “Over my dead body would I ever leave him and return to the
    agency.” Norma remembers those words that now prove to be untrue as she
    rejoins Atropos-a covert government organization-after so many bloodless
    years. She has just carried out her first mission back, suspiciously without
    her team. Something tells her things are not what they seem and betrayal is
    imminent.

    It turns out a devastating weapon created by the agency may soon be
    decommissioned, and things need to change. Norma is beginning to speculate
    that it isn’t her skill set that the agency wants, Instead, accepting her
    back was their way of gaining access to a more lethal successor.

    Is her gut feeling right? Will the agency soon turn on her? Norma must
    escape the clandestine smoky mirrors of Washington DC and see clearly before
    it’s too late.

    From CHAPTER 1 

    World Renaissance Hotel, Washington, DC 

    April 8, 2009, 12:52 a.m.  

    At one time her team would be huddled, waiting impatiently as Otis crept loudly down the steel shaft. Moans and groans sound from exhausted bodies that have felt less painful days. She can hear brags about whose bullet discharged faster or more accurately and whose knife was stuck decisively between the eyes of his or her dead target.  

    Yet tonight, wounded, she stands alone.  

    Where are they?  Norma thinks, knowing they have been briefed and are impatiently awaiting her return. The sight of their excitement days earlier near her father’s gravesite was confirmation for Norma that she had officially returned and that they are exultant to have their warrior back.  

    Where the hell are they?  

    With a painstaking breath, she steps into the elevator and suddenly stops for a second to observe the differences from days past.  

    The floor, once egg-shell linoleum, is now polished ivory marble; and as she scans upward, she takes note that the old oak panels have been replaced with shiny, stainless-steel, and mirrored glass. Her head shakes as she’s taken aback.  

    “Un-fucking-believable,” Norma says, observing the copious amount of red-, white-, and blue-collar money that has been spent for such lavish renovations.  

    First, there are the imported marble floors, which were laid seamlessly under an immense crystal chandelier, which dangles from a masterfully carved ceiling in the foyer. Then there is the hall way she just passed and a richly carved mahogany desk at check-in. Now this brilliant steel elevator shaft?  

    Ridiculous 

    She gags over the speculated cost. Talk about a gross hybrid of splendor and security. I’ll swallow security,   but this, she thinks. She could expel a few profane words to describe such a waste of American tax dollars.  

    Norma would commend that every wall and window in this hotel be the absolute best in its class… bomb resistant, bullet resistant. Hell, she’d even go for the thermal cloak from an eye planted firmly against a sniper rifle from someone pining to spill her blood all in the name of, in her opinion, misguided vengeance. After all, this “hotel” she is in houses some of the world’s finest in their class. Agents belonging to covert teams which begin with letters that sounds off like the Alphabet Song, C, D, E, F,… 

    Stop! Go back to the letter that starts the song and why she is here… A.  

    Atropos, a government agency name that is certain to never be heard streaming through a digital broadcast, through radio waves, or read from any book. Face or not, it would nevertheless not be seen on any big screen coming this summer to a theater near you. You can be certain you will never see some A-list actor reading a deathly blood-riddled script to portray an assassin member of this A-team. Their story and their saga are to be forever protected by a code, a vow to protect their identity at whatever cost. And now, after renewed vows, Norma is part of the Atropos team she formed so long ago.  

    Upon a closer look into the elevator, she notices the likeness of design and material used. It resembles the one constructed in her home. Her mind wonders, who contracted this?  As her gut identifies her trusted engineer’s blueprint, which was designed for her a few years back. To be exact, if she were to take away the obvious prying mirrors, it would be identical. She sighs.  

    Not the time says the watch on Norma’s wrist as it pulsates that it is time to get moving. She struggles with the years that have noticeably lapsed. Fuck, two decades, two bloodless decades, and now here I am 

    All that has changed is definitely notable, remarkable indeed. Still, for Norma this hotel, this elevator, the spring DC air, which is stirring about with scents of cherry blossoms and cab exhaust, bring on a sense of familiarity that can be described only as eerie to her, as if banshees rush through the cold breeze that’s been stalking her since she left the agency. They whisper to her of days past. Sssshhhh—she wishes to silence such raucous ghosts— nor is it the time for you.  

     

    Reviews

    “‘The Atropos Maker’ is a fast-paced and expertly plotted
    two-fisted political thriller focusing on corrupt international and domestic
    organizations, secret weapons, and conspiracies,” wrote IndieReader in
    their 4.8-star review.

     

    “Stylishly written,” wrote Joe Kilgore – The US Review of Books.
    “This is an engaging read that pushes the envelope of the thriller
    genre. Author Lujan has chosen to steep her tale in an intensely
    introspective tone. Burrowing deeply within the psyche and soul of her
    protagonist, she paints a harrowing picture of how one individual musters up
    the fortitude to go from victim to survivor to ruler of her own
    fate—but not without the toll the harshest of life’s injuries
    often inflict.

     

    “The suspense in the book is irresistible,” wrote Pacific Book
    Review in their Starred Review. “The author knows how to entice
    readers by introducing subplots which increase one’s focus to finish
    the book . . . ‘The Atropos Maker’ is a great read for those who
    fancy thrillers, drama, conspiracy stories, military fiction and a great
    plot.”

     The Atropos Maker II: A New Order

    Atropos, an American black-ops agency, is on the hunt for a missing boy named Charlie. He has been kidnapped, disappearing deep into a child trafficking ring. Norma, the director of Atropos, quickly learns that someone they know is tied to the terrorist that are in the center of this ghastly ring of missing, innocent children. So begins the hunt as Norma takes the lead of Atropos once again to trot the globe, from Iraqi Kurdistan to the mean streets of urban America to search harrowing tunnels and bunkers in order to find Charlie before it’s too late? In the end, who will pay the ultimate price in order to complete their mission, and will the cost be too much?

     

    The Atropos Maker III: The Awakening 

    “Since I am an actress, I absolutely love to find books that I can see
    visually in my mind… Step on this ride with me… The Atropos team is
    exciting and fun and you are sure to enjoy the journey as much as I
    did.”

    – Mariel Hemingway, Oscar-nominated actress and author, and granddaughter
    of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Ernest Hemingway

    What is more terrifying than a covert mission to North Korea? Try raising a
    12-year-old girl.

    Elina struggles with the countless rules in her life, especially when they
    keep her from a mysterious new boy who arrives at her school.

    What is Alexander Veurr to do?

    As the leader of Atropos-one of the government’s most elite tactical
    teams-Alexander assigns retired agent Xavier to guard his budding daughter.
    With Xavier’s skills and agency resources, what could possibly go
    wrong?

    A lot, it turns out. Elina goes missing and Alexander is exiled from the
    agency. Two things become clear.

    One- Someone in the agency is as crooked as a dog’s hind legs.

    Two- Elina may be someone’s unwitting secret weapon.

    The fate of Atropos is in the hands of a father and daughter in this epic
    novel of parental fear and adolescent wonderment.

    ROUGH JUSTICE by Burt Weissbourd NERD BLAST Plus A Giveaway!

    Publisher: Rare Bird Books (October 11, 2022)
    Language: English
    Paperback: 240 pages
    ISBN-10: 1644283093
    ISBN-13: 978-1644283097

     
    Praise for ROUGH JUSTICE

    “Burt Weissbourd is a master of the Amateur Sleuth/Crime Thriller genre and his newest story, Rough Justice continues to demonstrate his genuine flair of originality.” —Midwest Book Review

    PRAISE FOR BURT WEISSBOURD

    “These books transcend the expectations of genre fiction to become literature.” —Jacob Epstein, writer and executive story editor of Hill Street Blues, and writer of LA Law

    “Weissbourd’s writing reminds me of the great Raymond Chandler mysteries.” —John McCaffrey, KGB Bar Lit Mag

    “One of the most accomplished elements of this highly entertaining novel is the way that the action hinges on the emotional and interpersonal arc of the story rather than the plot twists themselves…it’s Callie’s relationships with the central figures, particularly Cash…that give the story its realistic and heart-stopping impact.” —Readers’ Favorite

    “Weissbourd delivers a polished page-turner about terrorism, money laundering, and the price of sins rooted in avarice…Tart dialogue, explosive set pieces, and a dexterous narrative style that favors velocity over exposition add to the book’s appeal…Thrillers may be a dime a dozen, but memorable characters deserve a longer half-life, so here’s hoping Callie and Cash make a welcome return soon.” —BlueInk Review

    “A Woman gets in touch with her inner action hero in this bracing thriller…as one character toasts, ‘Bravo, Callie James.’” —Kirkus Reviews

    “An inventive thriller whose unconventional heroine learns how to live again.” —Foreword

     
    “His skill as a writer is obvious and there’s a level of polish present in these pages you don’t find with less experienced authors…Danger in Plain Sight sets the stage well for Burt Weissbourd to have an impressive run with this character, and he will undoubtedly attract a growing audience with each new additional entry in the series.” —Hollywood Digest

    For fans of Scott Turow, Lee Child, and Raymond Chandler.

    Callie and Cash are back!

    “When you get out of jail, don’t ever come back here.”

    Callie James thought those were the last words she’d ever speak to Cash Logan. Two years later, in Danger in Plain Sight, Callie and Cash become an improbable team taking on lethal adversaries.

    Now, in Rough Justice, Callie and Cash are back, and their world is about to explode.

    It’s been a year since they saved her ex-husband’s life and faced unexpected, terrifying adversaries. During that process—confronting kidnapping, murder and the destruction of her restaurant—they came together, and against all odds, fell passionately in love.

    The smooth sailing abruptly ends when Sara, a twenty-five-year-old, half-Algerian woman, unexpectedly shows up at the restaurant and insists on telling them her shocking, unbelievable story. Someone has stolen her identity, and they’re trying to kill her. Sara needs their help now, and she has a stunning, life-changing secret to tell.

    Again, Cash and Callie assemble their unconventional ragtag family—including peg-legged Andre, and Itzac, “the Macher.” Together, they go to war with formidable adversaries to save Sara and ultimately their own lives. The fierce global battle leads them to Cuba, where they launch an audacious offensive that shocks even them…and will absolutely take your breath away.

    With Rough Justice, Burt Weissbourd elevates not only his deeply rich and complex characters, but the entire thriller genre.

    You can purchase Rough Justice at the following Retailers:

    town. Get ready for some horsing around in the fourth book of the Rocky
    Mountain Romances series.

     

    What happens when nosy reporter Paige catches wind of a kiddo named Leslie
    getting adopted by local Rancher Paula—who everyone knows has a heart
    dripping with icicles? Paige moves in for the feel-good story of the year,
    grabs the exclusive interview, then sets off a chain of events that threaten
    to upend the peace and quiet in Independence Junction.

    It turns out, Leslie has to go in and testify against her past foster
    parents. The question is, will this lead to a better life for this
    kid’s uncertain future? And what happens when she brings a furry
    friend with her?

    Meanwhile, love is in the air. Rancher Paula and the local veterinarian,
    Nate, begin to hit it off. The next thing we know, Paige and the fire chief
    also start making sparks. On top of that? A cast of four-legged friends help
    their humans in unexpected ways—saving the day time and
    again—proving that even the coldest hearts can be thawed in a Rocky
    Mountain Romance.

Players, playing simultaneously, shout out words that fit the category and place one of their stacking pieces on the corresponding letter card. When time’s up, the player who has their colored stacking piece on the top of the stack scores for that card. The more pieces under their piece, the higher the score!InsertCardHere Large 2.jpg (504×504)The great game of Insert Card Here™: Things move fast as the high and low cards in play change quickly throughout the game.
