Michigan Author Solease M. Barner Releases New Mystery Book 'Awakens', Second In The 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' Trilogy

The new mystery book is the second in the trilogy. The book follows in the tradition of espionage novels such as 'The Bourne Identity' with a unique twist - the protagonists are female assassins

Author Solease M. Barner has released 'Awakens'. The new mystery book is the second in the 'Secrets Of The Ghosts' suspense trilogy. The new thriller, like the first, is a work incorporating suspense, fantasy, espionage and murder. The books, written in the tradition of 'The Bourne Identity', center on a group of sisters who are female assassins.

The protagonist in 'Awakens', Holiday Towley, is a wife, mother, wedding planner and secret government assassin. Holiday’s life was complicated enough when all she had to do was plan weddings and kill people. Now with her daughter threatened by the people she should have been able most to trust, and her marriage threatened by the handsome and enigmatic David, she faces the ruin of all she has worked for.

"This book," stated Ms. Barner, "continues the story of Holiday. It will give readers more of an insight into her childhood and her special gift. In 'Awakens' readers will really be able to connect with Holiday. I really enjoyed writing 'Awakens', as readers really get to see the sisters in action more and that was fun to write."

Holiday is now facing more than just a mother who has betrayed her. She is now facing truths about herself including love, family and her biological mother. Holiday learns more about her bloodline and how she is different from others. The second installment answers many questions from 'The Sleeper', while creating even more mystery in anticipation of the third installment.

"This book had to be written", Barner continued, "to help explain Holiday and where she comes from. 'Awakens' provides explanations for many of the things that take place in 'The Sleeper'."

Solease M. Barner follows in the footsteps of her favorite authors - John Grisham, Terry McMillian, and Stephanie Meyer. Underlying her storylines is a message - when adversity arises it is family who will be there in times of need. Readers will more deeply appreciate their own families after reading her work.

Both titles are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, Kobo, iTunes, Smashwords and All Romance-Omni Lit. Both are available for Kindle, Nook, iPhone and iPad.

Author Adrianne Sainte Eve Releases 'Horizontal Collaborator', Female Spy Novel Set In Europe during WWI

Sainte Eve’s newest novel, set during WWI, details the story of Violette, a rare female spy who becomes a double agent for France

Author Adrianne Sainte Eve has released ‘Horizontal Collaborator’. The novel tells the tale of Violette, a rare female spy who engages in espionage for France during WWI. The main character in the new novel is reminiscent of Mata Hari. Adrianne Sainte-Eve is considered to be one of today's best spy authors and this newest book gives readers the opportunity to vicariously live the end of the Golden Age as the storyline follows female spy Violette on her journey from Madrid to Budapest and through the great Austro-Hungarian Empire.

“I wrote this book,” stated Sainte Eve, “as during WW1 the French and Germans regularly used women as espionage agents, thinking they had a natural talent for seduction and deception. It is a little known fact that some of the best spies were women. This is proven by the reality that we know very little about them; most of their true identities were never discovered.“

In a review of ‘Horizontal Collaborator’, Allister Lang of All Books Considered stated, “Her characters are full of life and well thought out. Both bizarre and sublime, Sainte-Eve’s characters are geographically spread yet tightly connected. She seems to have gone to great lengths to research the social mores and class structures of that time period, which adds to the richness of her work. This novel was a pleasure to read. I’m looking forward to Sainte-Eve’s next book."

“Fans of female spy novels will enjoy this book,” stated Ms. Sainte Eve, “in that it is an insight into the personalities of the major players in the biggest drama of the century. We see that they are really just ordinary people who lived during the fall of the golden age and were driven by their circumstances, whether they are aristocrats or ordinary peasants.”

Adrianne Sainte Eve is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sainteeve@yahoo.com. More information is available at her website. ‘Horizontal Collaborator’ is available at Amazon.com in hardback, paperback and Kindle formats.

Profile:

Author Adrianne Sainte-Eve was born in Budapest Hungary, and spent her childhood in, Quebec City, Quebec, Regina, Saskatchewan, and Vancouver, B.C.

She is a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned her MBA from Northern Illinois University. Adrianne currently lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Author John Meikle Releases 'Daughters Of The Outback' A Sweeping Tale Of Adventure and Romance In The Australian Outback

John Meikle's personal familiarity with the Australian Outback region lends a sharp touch of realism to his debut novel featuring survival, romance, wealth and international intrigue

In his deftly written debut novel, John Meikle spins an engaging story involving the daughter of a controlling father who desperately seeks her independence. Her journey leads to the largest station in western Australia, Naringa, where her story highlights intrigue, conquest and endurance in the brutal but majestic expanse of the great Australian Outback.

Mr. Meikle relates, "I wrote this book to memorialize the notable characters that were integral to my early adventures in the Australia Outback. The barren outback culture, the copper mines, the colorful people and the famous whaler horses were inspirations for “Daughters of the Outback.” As a firm believer, once you’ve visited the Outback, it will forever become a part of your soul.

The story further evolves around a charismatic disillusioned priest, a dynamic dashing rancher who steals the heart, a family member murdered in New York City, a NYPD homicide detective and guitar-playing inner city priest, all figuring into this remarkably enticing story that, despite the global scenery, is always close to the Outback.

'Daughters of the Outback' is skillfully narrated by the reclusive Mrs. Abernathy, as she returns from many years of living abroad to bury her husband's ashes, she’s confronted by a gutsy novice reporter who courageously wins the exclusive rights to her personal story intertwined with the history of Naringa, her two million acre Outback station.

This finely constructed story spans almost five decades from 1953 to the present, its characters are highly engaging and relatable; dialogue is natural and completely uncontrived, descriptions of the people and environment absorb the reader into another time and place. The readers will love this story of happiness, sadness, and spirit captured in the intrinsic strength and grace of this hard-scrapple society.

John Meikle is available for media interviews and can be contacted at john@johnnymeikle.com.

‘Daughters Of The Outback’ paperback books can be ordered on the website at DaughtersOfTheOutback.com, as well as downloadable Kindle and Nook eBook readers.

Profile:

As a New Zealander, John Meikle experienced the Outback as a young man working in the copper mines of Mt Isa. It was a young man’s adventure and a way of making a living, but many years later while raising his family in Rye, New York, his love of the Outback and the people who called it home remained powerful. As the years passed, the Outback mystically called him, inspiring visual earthbound images of those years.

After completing 'Daughters of the Outback,' Meikle was surprised to discover Henry Lawson’s poem, written in 1897 and now included in the foreword of his book. The poem astoundingly reflected the identical impressions in Meikle's 'Daughters of the Outback' written 114 years later.
