'Gun Games' is a riveting and thought-provoking thriller that takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the streets of Los Angeles. In the shadow of personal tragedy and a city on the brink of anarchy, a pacifist Los Angeles City Councilman breaks his own code, rallying a covert team of military friends to wage a secret war against the relentless gangs terrorizing the streets.

Readers are plunged into the gritty underbelly of Los Angeles through the eyes of Javier Rico, a dedicated city councilman and former Marine whose world is shattered when his daughter falls victim to a fatal gang drive-by. Rico, once a staunch pacifist advocating for social programs to curb violence, finds his beliefs systemically dismantled. Fueled by heartbreak and a thirst for justice, he unites with Mair Carling, a fiery former Marine, now stuntwoman and film studio weapons expert, and a handpicked team of loyal, skilled companions. They forge an audacious plan to dismantle the city's corrosive gang networks from the inside.

As Rico's covert war intensifies, he faces violent turf wars, climaxing in a perilous face-off at the gang stronghold, the ‘Alamo’. The stakes escalate when Rico confronts personal demons and explosive truths, navigating a maze of betrayal, vengeance, and redemption. Amidst a spectacular showdown that razes the gang's fortress to the ground, Rico emerges battle-scarred but resolute, his journey culminating in a poignant homage to his lost daughter and a renewed vision for his city's future. 'Gun Games' weaves a visceral tapestry of action, moral dilemmas, and a city's desperate cry for healing, promising to grip viewers until its electrifying end.

Cold War Immigration, The Reagan Years And Immigration Today - David Michael Palladino's 'Quest For Freedom' Provides A Stunning Look At Immigration

David Michael Palladino writes inspirational fiction for young readers. His works teach important ideals and values. He utilizes engaging works of fiction to accomplish that goal

The subject of immigration is one of the hottest political issues today. On one side are those who want to build walls and fences, require stringent background checks and deport illegal aliens. On the other side are those who would open the doors wide. Why such a disconnect today? Who is correct?

Both sides are right.

The real question is not whether immigration is good for the country or bad for the country. The real question is the intent of the immigrant. It is a subtle point, and one that is very easy to miss.

Immigration and defection to the USA used to be about people's desire to live in freedom, escape repression, and the aspiration to improve the lives of themselves and their families. For some immigrants, that is still true today. But there are others whose only desire is to qualify for handouts or to perhaps accomplish a terrorist agenda.

“I wrote Book I, ‘Quest for Freedom’ in dedication to the great President Ronald Reagan and to those who were his children; the U.S. Special Operations personnel of 1980 through 1988," Palladino stated. "He loved us and we loved him back.

"I’ve written Book II, ‘Western Odyssey’ in dedication to all of those who, in 2016, have taken action and elected a new president who may give us, as a nation, one last surge to greatness. Here's to one more chance. May we never again take it for granted.”

David Michael Palladino, author of 'Quest for Freedom', writes inspirational fiction for young people. He teaches, through his works of fiction, important ideals and values. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, former High School Phys-Ed & Health Teacher and Coach, and founder of “Palladino Martial Arts”, he understands the significance of instilling these all-important ideals and values in young people. 'Quest for Freedom' helps communicate freedom's true meaning to a younger audience. For this reason it will appeal to parents, grandparents and educators and those who are old enough to remember what America used to be. Palladino deftly paints a picture of America as she really was during the Cold War. He shows us clearly why American freedom and American values held such appeal for many oppressed people in other parts of the world.

'Adriana Corderu - Quest for Freedom' is the first book in the series. During the first Cold War the world revolved around the conflict between the theologies of communism and democracy. The two main protagonists in this conflict were the United States in the West, and the Soviet Union in the East. As Eastern Bloc leaders began to tighten restrictions in the lives of their people, commensurate with their increase in power, there began to emerge, in the East, a group of young people, hard and idealistic, adventurous and courageous. These would become the heroes of the movement of their time. These were the brave young souls who, with inspiration from President Reagan, began to break down the Iron Curtain. The escape from Soviet Communism and the quest for freedom is the theme of 'Quest for Freedom'. Set in the Cold War era, the book is the engaging story of Adriana Corderu and her quest to obtain freedom by escaping the Iron Curtain.

'Adriana Corderu - Western Odyssey' continues where the first book in the series left off. In the second book, readers will come to know a whole new cast of characters as Adriana continues her journey as she experiences the refugee camps of Italy and comes to know Italian culture with a new family even while under the yoke of the Romanian Securitate, which is still trying to abduct her and bring her back to Eastern Europe. Readers will go with her into the cauldron that was New York City where the only safe place to be was where the Italian Cosa Nostra ruled and will then experience the wonder of the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the rugged big-hearted people who live there.

Adriana experiences heartbreaking loss and the wonders of new love. Readers can learn with her as she remembers her sister’s revelations about America’s regular military, to include units like the 82nd Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 101st Air Cavalry Screaming Eagles. Readers can then witness the heat of her emotions when she, for the first time comes into contact with men of the US Army Ranger Battalions. Adriana comes to know these hard men and learns from them of the dramatic differences and contrasts between the US regular military and the units of the US Special Operations Command and Joint Special Operations Command. Readers will be fascinated with units such as the Army Rangers and Green Berets, the Navy SEALS, and other units that make up the US Special Operations Division to include units from the Air Force and Marines. Readers will learn what really happened during Operation Urgent Fury on the island of Grenada in October, 1983 and of the US Military of the “Reagan Era.” The story of Adriana’s Western Odyssey will not only entertain, but will also educate and uplift.

'Quest for Freedom' has received rave reviews. One reviewer stated, "More native born Americans need to know this story and more importantly appreciate our country as she did." Another said, "The readers become engrossed immediately in Palladino's dynamic effervescent style."

Watch for Book II, Adriana Corderu: Western Odyssey, scheduled for release in June, 2017.

Clyde Hoch, Author Of 'Tracks: Memoirs Of A Vietnam Veteran', Chosen As One Of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'

Hoch was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors who appeared on The Authors Show Radio in 2012. In his interview he discusses the release of his debut novel, 'Tracks: Memoirs Of A Vietnam Veteran'

Clyde Hoch, author of 'Tracks: Memoirs Of A Vietnam Veteran', has been chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading'. Winners will appear in this year’s edition of the book. Hoch was chosen as the result of his appearance on The Authors Show Radio.

“I was thrilled to death about being chosen one of the '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2012 because I am not educated; writers are educated. To me it was like proof - you are a real writer.”

The book tells the tale of a young man, from his entry into USMC boot camp in 1965 to becoming a tank commander in Vietnam during the years of the heaviest fighting of the Vietnam War. Hoch describes hitting a large land mine with a tank and of having his tank and crew abandoned on the battle field. He felt he would never return home alive. He talks of day to day life during the 1965 to 1969 time period - what it was like to come home from Vietnam and how he was more content in Vietnam than his own country. If the United States never lost a major battle in Vietnam, how is it possible the US lost the war? The answers to this and much more can be found in Hoch's debut book.

“The last thing I ever expected to do in my life," continued Hoch, "was to write a book. I was mowing my lawn a few years ago. An elderly neighbor stopped by. After he left I thought about what an interesting story he had just told me. ‘When he's gone his story is gone’. I realized everyone has a story. I thought about my military experience. I felt I would put it down on the computer in chapter form as it came to me. As I did this I sent the chapters to people I served with in Vietnam to make certain I had my stories straight. I sent chapters to my daughter Tina Simmons to proofread. She said, 'Dad you have to make this into a book.' If it were not for her it would never have made it to print.”

Clyde Hoch is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at hochclyde@yahoo.com. 'Tracks: Memoirs Of A Vietnam Veteran’ is available at Amazon in soft cover and Kindle versions and at Barnes and Noble.  More information is available at Hoch’s website at http://www.clydehoch.com.

About Clyde Hoch:

Clyde Hoch is a Vietnam Veteran. He lectures about Vietnam and attends book signings at high schools, libraries and for veterans groups such as Vietnam Veterans of America, The Lehigh Valley Council for Veterans Affairs, The Pennsylvania Military Museum, The Schwenkfelder Museum and others.

Hoch is currently working on a new book, 'A Tribute to Tankers'. The new book will provide a description of a type of tank and will follow up with stories of men who served in that type of tank in previous conflicts, beginning with WWI and ending with Iraq.

Multiple Deployments Tear Military Marriages Apart: New Book Offers Tools To Help Save Families

The often overpowering stress of serving in the military can tear families apart. The ever increasing number of stress related disorders suffered by veterans is only part of this tragic story. What can be even more heartbreaking is the number of families destroyed by the strain of serving in the military. Now a new book offers real, workable solutions to a problem that can tear these families apart.

Written by military advocate Michael Schindler, Operation Military Family: How to Strengthen Your Military Marriage and Save Your Family highlights successful military families and many of the key resources and programs the government makes available to families in an effort to strengthen military marriages.

The book follows several activated Reserve and Guard families from pre-deployment through the families’ reunification and how they dealt with the emotions, the issues surrounding finances and children as well as several other circumstances brought on by deployment. It also follows these couples back to their reunion and reunification and specifically details what each family did to get reacquainted.

The book includes the latest government research and studies on military marriages and highlights how families are taking action and what the government and the military are doing to strengthen military marriages and save the military family.

Four Star General Tommy Franks (ret), former Commander-in-Chief U.S. Central Command says of Schindler’s work: “Freedom is not free…and no one knows it better than military men and women and their families. Mike Schindler does a great job of giving practical, “how to” pointers to help them strengthen their marriages. A great resource!”

Mike Schindler is an author, speaker, military advocate and Director to the President at Families Northwest. The difficult issues facing today’s military marriages prompted Schindler, a Navy veteran, to take action. He is the Founder of Operation Military Family, an organization committed to developing road maps and tools to strengthen relationships while revealing the many available government resources. Mr. Schindler is available for interview at the address below. He can also be heard on The Authors Show Radio at www.TheAuthorsShow.com
