PROMO: Particles in the Air

 

 

A Dr. Mallory Hayes Medical Thriller

 

Thriller, Medical Thriller

Date Published: January 2023

In the wake of a natural disaster, a new pandemic is unleashed...

 

Dr. Mallory Hayes, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) medical investigator, is a committed physician and researcher quietly battling height and air-flight anxiety. When a tsunami devastates the coast of Southern California, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) establishes a camp to house the tens of thousands of people displaced by the disaster, and the Army is brought in to provide medical services.

Mallory is dispatched to the camp by the CDC to prevent the potential spread of disease from contaminated water. What she discovers is far worse than anything she could have imagined—an accelerated HIV-like virus, and a common, everyday microbe, are proving to be extremely deadly.

 

Particles in the Air is a shockingly realistic tale only an immunologist could write—a tense, high-concept thriller meant to appeal to fans of A.G Riddle, Michael Crichton, Terry Hayes, Richard Preston, and others.

 

 

 About the Author

Jenna Podjasek, MD, is an Allergist/Immunologist who trained at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

She lives with her husband, two children, and numerous pets in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.

PARTICLES IN THE AIR is her first novel (more to come!).

Compared to James Patterson and a name to watch, Packard was recently awarded for her last novel - “Counterintelligence is one of the year’s top political thrillers" by BestThrillers.

 

Buckle your seat belt and get ready for another rocket-fast thriller!

 

America’s top operative, Matti Baker, is launching an all out war in this fast-paced, psychological, political thriller.

There is one quality that is unique to the human species…GREED.

Enlisting the help of the President and her team, Matti Baker fights to defend the hope for a world without chronic illness. No more cancer, no more diabetes…if only she can stay alive long enough to reproduce her genesis. But working against her is greed in every form. While conspiracies abound, and time is short, the crosshairs are on her.

Baker is sacrificing all and doing what others are unwilling to do. She’s serving justice.

Freedom comes at a cost. And Matti Baker is ready to pay the price as she launches her own version of DEFCON.

The countdown has started.

 

DEFCON is a multi-layered, heart-pounding, thought-provoking, realistic thriller in the ongoing AESOP series.

 

About the Author

Award-winning author, Michele Packard, comes from a military family and worked as a cable tv executive before staying at home to raise her three children. She has written in both the fiction and non-fiction genres, utilizing her experiences and wit to share stories with others. Her family calls her "AESOP" as she tends to exaggerate. A lot. Packard grew up watching her father read Patterson, Child, Flynn, Clancy, and Woods and soon developed a penchant for conspiracy theories with strong protagonists in the psychological, political, and military thriller genres. Her books tend to lean heavy on sarcasm as she intertwines current and historical events for thought-provoking stories. Recently deemed as one of the top political thrillers of the year and a name to watch. She’s loving every minute of it.

She is a frequent traveler with her husband and is the primary caretaker of the family's beloved two labs.

Blog Tour: Escaping My Demons

 


Autobiography

Date Published: November 6, 2022

Publisher: Ocean Reeve Publishing Queensland Australia


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Throughout this book we learn about the sufferance of a baby boy, unwanted by his teenage parents.

This boy grew up with an aggressive and womanising father that constantly reminded him that he was a mistake that ruined his father’s life.

While been beaten and mentally abused, all he craved from his parents was love but received nothing but humiliation and sufferance from his father.

This caused detrimental trauma to the young boy, and he grew up believing that he would never achieve anything in life.

I was this little boy, and this is my story.

 

What Readers Are Saying


"Great read, very compelling, could not put it down. Read in one sitting. You are a good guy, glad that I know you!"

- Peter Healey

 

"Reading Escaping my Demons gave me an insight into how difficult Joseph's childhood was ... This would be a good self-help book for those who have had less-than-ideal family life and the proof has shown that in the end we make our own lives and can choose toe either be a victim or a winner."

-Vicki Ebert

 

"The book 'Escaping my Demons' is Fagarazzi's road map to the emotional freedom he now enjoys today."

-Kez Wickham St George

 


Excerpt

My story is about surviving domestic violence as well as mental and physical sexual abuse. It’s about living and surviving in an abusive, non-loving relationship and finding ways to overcome it by becoming a strong-minded, resilient, optimistic individual and finding ways to believe in yourself no matter  how often you have been unjustly ridiculed, mischaracterised, and discriminated against.

I hope to give my readers an understanding of my pain and suffering and to know what it was like to walk in my shoes.

I want this book to be a reminder that, even though I’m seventy years old, I still carry these scars; this book is cathartic to write, and I wish to help others experiencing what I have to find ways to overcome their pain much earlier in their lives.

 

 


About the Author

Blog Tour: Never Again Means Never Again

 


Dismantling hate groups and other musings

 

Jewish History

Date Published: October 12, 2022

Publisher: ‎SuburbanBuzz.com


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png  


To all the antisemites, racists, homophobes, and minority haters, the book you've been waiting for is finally here.

To anyone who has ever been a victim of antisemitism, racism, homophobia, etc. the book you've been waiting for is finally here.

To those who want to help themselves, their friends, and neighbors eliminate the persecution of minorities, your book is now here too.

This book provides facts and opinions on topics such as Hitler, Treaty of Versailles, Manhattan Project, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Nazis, Nobel Prize, American Jewry, Hollywood and much, much more. My writing corrects so many lies, misconceptions, untruths and more. I present the facts and my opinion in a way where everyone will understand. Furthermore, I leave no doubt about my position to anyone who wants to harm us.

This book is a serious wake-up call to my fellow Jews. We have a lot of work to do, NOW.

Remember…Never Again MEANS Never Again.


 



Excerpt

“I have never woken up and thought about any of you. Why would I? I have enough of my own issues. You and your groups are so far down my “care list” that by the time I may think about you, I’m already asleep. What is so important or lacking in your life that you would risk going to jail for someone you’ve never met, talked to, exchanged emails with, etc.? I’m confident on day two of being jailed, you will not only be distraught but highly distraught at yourself over anything senseless you did. You do not need to live like this. Again, we’re not harming you or thinking about any of you. You really shouldn’t be harming us or thinking about us either.”

 

About the Author

I have probably watched every episode of “First Time Watching Schindler’s List” on YouTube. I got hooked on the viewers’ changing emotions throughout the movie and still get extremely mad, disgusted, horrified, etc., by the end of each showing. That’s how I wrote "Never Again MEANS Never Again." Angry, angry, angry.

However, I also watch the credits of each viewing in anticipation of the movie watcher’s reaction as they see the real, live, living Jews from "Schindler’s List.” These survivors smile and confirm to each new viewer that we are a tough, smart, and proud people. I’m not sure I want to know someone who doesn’t shed a tear at those ending scenes.

That’s how I wrote "Never Again STILL MEANS Never Again" — an edgy, straight forward, honest book that should be required reading by most. In this version, I refrain from the dark humor, foul language and hardcore insults in the first book. Otherwise, all of the topics, subjects, storylines, facts, etc., etc. etc. haven’t been changed.

I had to write the first book exactly how I would discuss it with someone who wants to injure my family, my friends and those who can’t defend themselves. Furthermore, I watched, read and listened to so much murder, torture, rape, medical experimentation, starvation and on and on. I was constantly writing in anger. Outside of a couple of chapters, I was perpetually pissed.

Anyway, from that book came the second one and diplomatic way in which I normally speak to others.

I stand by everything written in both books, but "Never Again STILL MEANS Never Again" is the book that anyone from anywhere can read, and I hope they do.

PROMO: Repo Madness

 

 

A Simpleton's Guide to the Street's Wicked Ways

Date Published: January 4, 2022

Publisher: ‎ Lulu.com


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Our monetary system is insane! That’s the premise of Repo Madness, a book not meant for scholars, analysts but for you, the person who has been kept in the dark about the shadow banking system. Understandable and informative, this book is also irreverent, never missing an opportunity to underscore the absurdity of it all. You will learn how shadow banking evolved into what it is today, an out-of-control massive system that sucks the lifeblood out of our economy. You will bear witness to participants who in rare moments of candor admit the system is broken and comes at great cost. Years of research have resulted in the most compelling evidence you will find anywhere that the shadow banking system does not benefit society. Solutions of comparable size and scope are out there! Remedies that empower all of us in determining our financial lives and in turn, serve the greater good.


About the Author

M.E. Tuthill was born and raised outside of Boston, Massachusetts. A graduate of Boston College with a BA in American History she went on to earn two master's degrees, an MA from the University of Maryland in American Studies and an MS from Syracuse University in Communications. A self-described “perpetual student,” she worked for ten years as a radio news anchor and reporter. Family obligations precluded her moving to advance her career. It was time for a change.

For the next 13 years she would work as a financial advisor also penning a financial planning column for the local paper. Eventually the rough and tumble of the securities business took its toll and she embarked on a third career as a full-time financial writer. Her employer was iMoneyNet, the go-to place for money-market mutual fund data. Over 11 years she wrote hundreds of stories for the firm’s flagship publication, “Money Fund Report.” She also wrote for other publications, all related to money market funds.

Hired in 2006, initially the work was uninspiring. What can you say about money-market mutual funds? Then came the financial crisis and everything changed. What had been a job writing about sleepy money-market funds turned into a journey deep into the recesses of shadow banking. For money-market funds played an integral role in the financial meltdown that dwarfed all others.

Tuthill was hooked. She wanted to learn everything about shadow banking and as the days, weeks, months, and years passed, amassed hundreds of articles, scholarly papers, marketing material from the banks and government reports. Laid off in 2017, Tuthill found herself with boxes and boxes of material. Her first task was to organize it by subject. Then, she continued to pursue her research. The result is “Repo-Madness: A Simpleton’s Guide to the Street’s Wicked Ways.”

In addition to her writing experience, Tuthill is also a poet. Authoring a book titled, “The Linen Man & Other Poems.”

Recently, Tuthill left her home state of Massachusetts, moving over the border, she now resides in South Windsor, Connecticut.

The Honest Reality of Entrepreneurship

 

Nonfiction / Entrepreneurship / Business Management

Date Published: ‎August 11, 2020

Publisher: ‎Mindstir Media


photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Man...F@#K! shares the honest and often unspoken reality of entrepreneurship while serving up a large dose of much-needed hope and inspiration to all business owners and entrepreneurs trying to take their companies to the next level. Unlike most other books on business, this book clearly defines the difficulties of life and the challenges of managing and building a brand from virtually nothing into a potential global company. It also accurately illustrates the struggles of working with a family business and the expectations of starting in a small market and what it takes to overcome those challenges and achieve personal and professional goals on a larger scale.

It's a fun, yet realistic story of what it takes to keep your head up in times of trial - when all you can think is Man...F@#K! out of frustration - in order to ultimately make your dreams a reality.
