The Wolves Within, A Mesmerizing Psychological Thriller By Bijou Entertainment, Will Be Available At No Charge In Ebook Form June 10 Through June 12, 2024, At Amazon


Set against the backdrop of the 1980s Iran-Contra affair, this gripping narrative takes readers on a riveting journey through the clandestine world of CIA black ops, subconscious conditioning, and espionage.

J Bartell and Ginger Marin of Bijou Entertainment have announced that their latest psychological thriller, 'The Wolves Within,' based on a true story, will be available in ebook form at no charge from June 10 through June 12, 2024. The new spy drama takes readers deep into the waters of subconscious conditioning and its harrowing repercussions. Unlike many in the genre, the book is based on a true story, making it a must-read for fans of spy thrillers. Because it is produced by Bijou Entertainment, it is a story that will create a movie in the minds of readers.

After an expert in subconscious conditioning is recruited by a CIA black ops unit, during the 1980s Iran-Contra affair, his ordered world descends down a dark path leading to sanctioned kills and questioned loyalties, forever altering his concept of self & country.

'The Wolves Within' unfolds the tragic descent of Nick Bryant, a brilliant therapist whose innovative subconscious mental conditioning techniques ensnare him in a perilous web of international espionage and intrigue in the volatile 1980s. Recruited by the enigmatic William Kearney, ostensibly for the CIA, Nick's talents become instrumental in manipulating geopolitical events, from high-stakes missions in Morocco's royal corridors to entanglement in the notorious Iran-Contra affair. As he spirals deeper into this shadowy realm, employing his psychological expertise for harrowing ends—orchestrating assassinations, enduring brutal torture in Nicaragua, and extracting classified information—Nick is estranged from his beloved fiancée, Kate, ultimately losing his identity and the life he once cherished.

Ultimately, the book is a compelling exploration of the duality within us all, asking the poignant question: which wolf do you feed? The book’s depiction of Nick's tragic unraveling is both riveting and deeply human, offering a profound commentary on the cost of lost redemption and the price of loyalty. For aficionados of psychological thrillers and spy dramas alike, this spellbinding tale is an absolute best in its genre, blending suspense, intrigue, and emotional depth in a manner that is as gripping as it is unforgettable.

Author Gary Paul Corcoran Brings The Struggle For Women’s Rights in Afghanistan To Life In His Compelling New Novel, "Afghan's Lipstick Warriors: First Chronicle", Now Available In Paperback And Kindle


With a band of lipstick warriors cornered and a swarm of Taliban soldiers preparing to launch a lethal offensive against them, one CIA operative, aided by his Kabul station chief and their crew of behind the scenes techies, go completely off the reservation in an effort to save them.

The fall of the Afghan government has brought Taliban barbarism to the forefront of media headlines worldwide once again. Summary executions, schools and infrastructure destroyed, women oppressed and the page turned back on human rights. But the resistance lives on. A recent piece in the Washington Post by Ezzatullah Mehrdad titled “Anti-Taliban fighters claim victories as first stirring of armed resistance emerge,” paints an inspiring picture of their defiance.

The atrocities of this militant organization have long been catalogued, and now to this mix arrives the unique perspective of Gary Paul Corcoran’s recently released novel, 'Afghan's Lipstick Warriors: First Chronicle'. If the sudden and complete collapse of the Afghan Army has reinforced anything, it is the very premise of Mr. Corcoran’s novel. The women of Afghanistan have only one hope. Defend themselves. The men will not do it for them.

'Afghan's Lipstick Warriors' revolves around the life of Saarah Khalil, born in a secluded mountain village, in the shadows of the Hindu Kush, and having come of age mostly unaware of the endless wars and tribal strife going on beyond her sheltered world. Then one day, the Taliban came and everything changed. Faced with the prospect of a forced marriage to a Taliban warlord, Saarah flees to a women’s shelter in Kabul, where she is confronted with a simple truth. Her hopes and dreams, and those of every woman in Afghanistan, will be meaningless if the Taliban are able to retake power. And so a decision must be made. Will she lie down like a dog before them? Or take up arms and fight?

This sweeping tale of love and war and personal destiny is played out against the backdrop of an American government at war with itself, with the CIA doing everything in its clandestine powers to support this fledgling band of women warriors while the State Department, at the direction of a new president, appears determined to stamp out what the administration views as upending their neat and orderly withdrawal plans. The setting for the tale is several months before the stunning collapse of the Afghan government, when the thought of the Taliban imposing their strict interpretation of Sharia upon Afghanistan was yet unthinkable, when Afghans still held onto their frail hopes of a better world. 'Afghan's Lipstick Warriors: First Chronicle' not only champions those hopes, but presages its soon to be published sequel, 'Afghan's Lipstick Warriors: Darkness Falls, in which a determined movement of both men and women shake off the grim reality of their defeat and rejoin the fight for freedom.

"In the course of human history, there is no greater miscarriage of justice than the one perpetrated by men upon women," Corcoran stated. "And so the hour is long overdue for every woman in this world to embrace and hold aloft this simple truth, for it haunts the mind of every tyrant, despot and dictator. A tiger is only tamed for so long as it accepts the whip."

In keeping with the purpose of this novel, the author, along with his collaborator, Rob Williams, an Iraq and Afghanistan Wars vet, are dedicating 50% of all royalties to the aid organizations, No One Left Behind and Women For Afghan Women, in order to assist both the people fleeing Afghanistan and those who have been left behind.

Gary Corcoran is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at gpcorcoran@yahoo.com. 'Afghan's Lipstick Warriors' is available at Amazon and other book retailers. More information is available at his website at http://www.garypaulcorcoran.com.

About Gary Paul Corcoran:

The product of an Irish/Italian family, Mr. Corcoran was transplanted as a boy from the clapboard New England of his youth to the cookie cutter, stucco subdivisions that began to litter the disappearing ranches and orange groves south of Los Angeles in the 1960s.

True to his rebellious nature and the folk music/coffee house idealism that helped shape his early worldview, Mr. Corcoran chose to resist the Vietnam War, was a man without a country for several years and can count incarceration in a Mexican prison as one of his many colorful experiences during that era.

Having pursued a love of reading and writing in various forms all his life, Mr. Corcoran finally took this passion seriously around the turn of the millennium and has dedicated the remainder of his days to authorship.

The author of eight previous novels, Mr. Corcoran’s rough and tumble early experiences animate all of his literary works, from his Michael Devlin crime series to his special forces adventures to his tales of romance. Mr. Corcoran is currently working on a sequel to Afghan’s Lipstick Warriors and expects to publish it by the end of 2021.

In completing the karmic circle, the author recently returned to the New England of his youth and now resides along the coast of Rhode Island.

Author Tony Attanasio Announces Free Ebook Download Of Samples From His Most Popular Reality Based Action Novels

Attanasio's reality based action novels are based on his personal experiences with the NYPD, the DEA and the CIA

Author and Islamic Terrorism Consultant Tony Attanasio has announced the release of a free e-book sampler with excerpts from three of his most popular works: 'A Silent Star', 'The Iranian Connection: Code Word Orchid' and 'Kenny O'.

Unlike many other authors who write reality based action novels, Tony Attanasio writes from direct personal experience. Tony was seriously injured in a line-of-duty incident that ended his career with NYPD. He subsequently served ten years with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), where he served as an Intelligence specialist. During his tenure he served in Miami, Europe and New York City. Both in Miami, Florida, and Europe, he served as liaison with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and traveled to CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he presented a course on International Organized Crime.

'A Silent Star': Subsequent to the attack on the USS Cole in October of 2000, British intelligence reports pinpointed bin Laden's location in a safe house outside of Abyan, Yemen. A top secret project, code named, Perfect Justice, was carried out by a team of highly-trained CIA operatives, two male and two female, in a commando-style raid. It was to be a Black operation, one that would be conducted in absolute secrecy under the cover of official deniability. If unsuccessful, it would in effect, never be acknowledged by the CIA, or any other governmental organization, to have ever taken place.

'The Iranian Connection': Relates the actions of Iranian and Hezbollah operatives who planned to detonate a nuclear device in New York City in order to weaken The United States’ support for Israel in post September 11 months. Initially US Federal law enforcement assets work at odds with one another. Eventually the groups work together to thwart the explosion. The storyline highlights the non-cooperation among law enforcement agencies in the United States that made the Office of Homeland Security a reality.

'Kenny O': During the 1970s New York City was a Mecca for heroin and cocaine usage with addiction a major health concern. The majority of these drugs was trafficked and sold by traditional organized crime families such as the Gambino, Bonnano and Genovese LCN clans. One location where these groups planned, trafficked and sold these drugs, affectionately called Boy for heroin and Girl for cocaine, was in the Bronx. A special unit was put together to gather information on these groups and subsequently dismantle their networks. This unit of NYPD, under the auspices of the Organized Crime Control Bureau was able to accomplish this through many hard working hours and the assistance of an informant - KENNY O.

Attanasio's real world experience flavors every page of his works. Tony has had a long career in investigating organized crime, money laundering, and radical Islam. His previous two books have received national acclaim and five star reviews. Tony has consulted for Robert DiNiro in establishing authenticity for his film ‘Ronan’.
