Editorial Reviews Review "If only Brandon were around to write this when I was a teenager, he would have been too old to be the assistant director for the movie we worked on together. Thankfully, he wasn't. But thankfully for you, he's not old and dead. This book will save you a lot of time and heartache, which often go together." - Thor Ramsey Comedian, Actor, Author, Pastor "The lasting message in my head is "don't let life discourage you from dreaming." Things are going to happen, you'll have doubters, you might be alone in your ambitions, the things you drea, of achieving may be bigger than anything your parents or anything your family members or friends have ever achieved...but you CAN do it!" - Gregg Wayans - Benson Actor/Wayans Brother

Book Description

The story of Brian Tally is one of sacrifice, failure of our system, gross neglect, selflessness, dishonesty, manipulation, and ultimately perseverance against all the odds. As you read the story about my brother's journey, I hope you can find inspiration that no matter how bad your situation is there is always hope, people who love you, and a chapter yet to be written. Brian and I started this journey when we were told by the head of the Veterans Affairs Legal Department that his case wasn't the first, won't be the last, and if you want to change it go ahead and contact your political representative. The arrogance, deflection, lack of sympathy, or desire to fix the problem spring boarded Brian and me into this eye-opening journey. I charged Brian with changing the law. I said, "We will change the law and call it the Tally Bill." Brian was completely set up by the VA to fail; there's no way he should have been able to do what he accomplished. My mission was to change the subject for him and keep him busy and focused on something that he could control. His new mission was to right the wrong, change the narrative, and forever change the way our veterans are provided for in our country. My mission was to keep him occupied; never did I imagine that he'd see it all the way through and what it would morph into. I couldn't be prouder of my brother, who he is, who he has become, and the relationship he's created with God. Enjoy the journey you're about to go upon, and watch how a gung-ho Marine veteran went from running a successful landscaping company to walking the halls of Congress. Brian never served in overseas combat; Brian's combat came in the tune of walking the halls of Congress, countless phone calls and emails, and years of pain that continues today, all while fighting to make sure this never happens again. His combat mission was fought on US soil against the tyranny of our government systems, and he succeeded. Sometimes you choose a calling in life, and sometimes a calling chooses you. I love you, brother, and I'm so proud of you and everything you have accomplished! Respectfully, Scott Tally / USAF Combat Veteran

Katherine Laster was born January 22, 1966 in Nassau, The Bahamas to a single mother, Martha Grant.

She never lost Hope or Faith in God despite her many trials. She gives God praise for taking her through these various tribulations triumphantly and conquering the enemy.

Katherine now lives in Albany, Georgia and is a member of Sherwood Baptist Church. She has two wonderful sons, Kyhiel and Anthony, "Kylie".

Book Description

Bryan Walsh is a killer for hire. He is haunted by those who have fallen by his hand. He will stop at nothing to avenge his brother’s death. When a lifetime of bad karma finally lands on Bryan’s doorstep and leaves his brother dead, he must survive long enough to find the killers and get his revenge, but as the path only grows bloodier, Bryan may not be able to handle the steps he’ll need to take against his enemies. As he becomes more unstable and his past crashes into his present, Bryan must decide if vengeance is worth becoming the monster he always denied or if he could find a another path; one that could lead to something like redemption. Praise for HELL CHOSE ME: “Angel Luis Colón’s knack for writing colorful, compromised hooligans for whom you can’t help but root has garnered him a loyal following, and his debut novel, Hell Chose Me, more than delivers on the promise of his short fiction. Equal parts profound and profane, Hell Chose Me is a damned good read—a vividly imagined pulp nightmare best read through splayed fingers.” —Chris Holm, Anthony Award-winning author of The Killing Kind “Fueled by revenge and unapologetically bloody, Hell Chose Me contains all the violent, morally conflicted elements you hope to see in a classic hitman tale. However, this is not your parents’ noir. Angel Luis Colón levels up in his first full-length novel with superb writing and a voice that seizes you from page one. A dark, dirty, gritty delight.” —Jennifer Hillier, author of Jar of Hearts “Buckle up, Buttercup. Angel Luis Colón delivers a gut punch that stays with you.” —Shaun Harris, author of The Hemingway Thief “Colón’s voice pulled me along like a tidal wave.” —Sara J. Henry, author of A Cold and Lonely Place and Learning to Swim

Eva has no desire for romance. She's a self-reliant, celibate Christian who, despite a truly bad marriage, has successfully raised two college-aged sons. Adam wouldn't mind being in love, but women seem to be too much trouble-they just have too many expectations. As a recent cancer survivor, he just wants time to heal, write his books and poetry, and work on his spirituality. But when Eva and Adam unexpectedly meet, their attraction to each other is immediate and undeniable. Struggling with their doubts and seemingly insurmountable pain, they will start to let down their guard-and share a love that only God would understand.

Someone who will make her face the past she has run from for so long.Emerson creates an intricate web in this intense psychological thriller whose high energy and fast-pace will have you racing towards the climactic conclusion. Perfect for fans of The Girl Before.REVIEWS‘I read this in two days. Fast-paced, dark and unsettling, this is an intelligently written, edge-of-your-seat thriller. A compelling pageturner with a satisfying ending and a late twist that I didn’t see coming’ Susan Elliot Wright, author of The Flight of Cornelia Blackwood‘She Chose Me is a cleverly constructed, elegant page turner that will hook you from the very first line. An enormously enjoyable read’ Louise Dean, award-winning author of Becoming Strangers‘If you enjoy tension, suspense and surprise, She Chose Me, Tracey Emerson’s brilliant debut novel is your next favourite read. Emerson ratchets up the suspense from the first page and never lets it go. Dignified by deft and ingenious plotting, forensically insightful characterisation and impeccable prose, this psychological thriller delivers on all levels’ Lesley Glaister, award-winning author of The Squeeze ‘She Chose Me is an accomplished debut that despite being tightly plotted manages to retain a really refreshing rawness... The fastpaced story kept me guessing until the end and raised many thought provoking questions about family, motherhood, rejection and mental health. I do love a story that intrigues as much as it provokes, and to this end Tracey Emerson has scored on both counts. Very well done’ Cath Weeks, author of Mothers‘A great read. I loved the two female protagonists, particularly the brilliantly chilling anti-heroine’ Sarah J. Naughton, author of Tattletale‘Moving, compelling and beautifully written. It deserves to fly off the shelves’ Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child
