KICKED OUT OF THE SAS, HARRY BAUER IS SENT HOME AND TOLD TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE...BUT HE'S NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE...

What do you do when the only skill you ever learned was how to kill, when you’re among the best of the best, but they tell you you can’t do that anymore? What do you do when they send you home from Afghanistan and tell you to get a job, like everybody else?

But you’re not like everybody else.

After eight years as a trooper in the SAS, fighting the secret, untold wars in the deserts and the jungles of the world, Harry Bauer has been kicked out for attempting to assassinate Mohammed Ben Amini, the Butcher of Al-Landy. He’s been sent home, to New York, where he was raised an orphan ‘til he was old enough to split and join the special forces.

Now he’s back, and unemployed; until Russian Mafia boss Peter Rusanov offers him a job wiping out the Albanian Mafia. It’s a job he figures could make him rich, until Colonel Jane Harris shows up, takes him for a ride to Pleasantville, and tells him about Cobra…

Then all hell breaks loose.

The rich and handsome Mark Walters discovers that love is neither the preserve of beauties nor an affliction of females.

With fashion models as his normal girlfriends, he reluctantly, and rather shamefacedly, begins moving around in the company of a rather plain young girl.

She becomes his best friend, but he has a policy of hiding her and keeping her at a distance, as she is just an average girl, expected to fall in love with him.

And then, when it becomes time to let her know that he is moving on, and will be partnering with a stunning model from the next day, he gets a mighty shock to find his own world unexpectedly turned into ashes.

Of course, the plain female companion leaves him to himself, but the loss is unbearable, and he hunts madly for her, knowing he is guilty as hell, and praying she will give him a second chance.

He cannot even imagine the circumstances under which he might meet her again, as she has disappeared into her own not-so-wealthy world. But he also at last knows the insecurity that comes with love, as he discovers that true love is a game of equals, and that nothing gives either party the upper hand.
 
She has taught him the lesson he needed to learn, but his life is to remain ruined unless she forgives his countless transgressions.
Will she?

Everest Not Everest: A Dramatic Photo Essay and Plea for Honoring the Indigenous Naming Traditions of the World’s Tallest Mountain by Jeff Botz

This book is a classical photo essay about the Himalayas but even more than that it is a love letter to those mountains, the people and culture of the land surrounding the world’s tallest mountain. This is not another collection of travel, documentary or adventure photos but a personal, poetic visual response to one of ther world’s most dramatic landscapes.

The photos in the collection were made with the same large format film technology that was used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century to illustrate the untamed American west and other remote lands around the world. Unfortunately that Era of Exploration photography could not access the Himalayas because the borders of Nepal and Tibet were closed to all foreigners so the classic photos were never made. I started this photo mission using the 35mm color format but found it too reductionistic to capture and express the majesty and grandeur of the mountains or the aura of spirituality which has characterized the area since time immemorial.

Working particularly in the style of Ansel Adams using black and white film and the clunky 8x10” film camera, I have strived to create landscape photographs that transcend documentation and travelogue. Like the great masters of the two dimensional mountain imagery, Caspar David Friederich, Albert Bierstadt, Frederich E. Church and Ansel Adams, it is my intention to invoke associations and metaphors of inspiration, personal challenge, struggle, achievement and self realization as well as suggest these mountains as forget-me-nots of the Creator /Universal Life Force.

Vampyre Hypothesis - Elizabeth Ramsey, MD Series Book 1 by Tammy Battaglia

https://www.amazon.com/Vampyre-Hypothesis-Tammy-Battaglia-ebook/dp/B0D4MVVM4J

Dr. Beth Ramsey is at home in the morgue. As a medical examiner, dead bodies are part of her nightly routine at the graveyard shift at Midwest University Hospital.

But tonight is different, because tonight the corpse on her table is bleeding, healing, and sporting a sharp pair of fangs.

After much debate about whether she should turn the supposed-vampire over to her colleagues who would most certainly treat him as a lab rat, Beth decides to secretly remove him from the morgue and take him home. She nurses him back to health and studies him without harm—all while hoping not to be his next meal should he wake up from his comatose state.

Beginning to feel a bond and attraction to the vampire as she talks to him day in and out, what Beth doesn’t know could kill her.

Not only is he dangerous, but her patient has become an enemy of an ancient and very powerful vampire. Keeping him by her side will put her right in the middle of a centuries-old feud.

Will her search for answers be worth the cost?

If you like strong female leads, sexy vampires, slow-burn romance, and a little mad science, this dark urban fantasy book is a must-read.
