For soldier of fortune and Aussie knockabout Lachlan McKnight, his new contract with Great White Global Risk Consulting was supposed to be an easy way to make some sweet cash, catch up with old mates and hang out with hot European chicks.Unfortunately, when you're a drunken womaniser, your best mate is a lying, sexual deviant and your contract is in Afghanistan, life doesn't always go according to plan. In fact, for Big Lachy, trouble always seems to be just around the corner, whether it's a professional Rugby League player with a score to settle, an Amazonian Marine trying to seduce him, or an online troll trying to destroy him.In this first of many 'Lachlan McKnight Adventures', the action never ceases, as Lachy mixes it with the Green Berets, takes it to the Taliban and makes it home in time for medals and movie night.If you don't mind a good yarn, a good laugh, a good old-fashioned fistfight or two and a few gunfights thrown in for good measure, then join Lachy McKnight as he shoots, roots, drinks, fights, laughs and loves his way from the pubs of Cronulla to the Badlands of Afghanistan and back.

Book Description

Otto Preminger was one of Hollywood's first truly independent producer/directors. He sought to address the major social, political, and historical questions of his time in films designed to appeal to a wide public. Blazing a trail in the examination of controversial issues such as drug addiction (The Man with the Golden Arm) and homosexuality (Advise and Consent) and in the frank, sophisticated treatment of adult material (Anatomy of a Murder), Preminger in the process broke the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist. He also made some of Hollywood's most enduring film noir classics, including Laura and Fallen Angel. An Austrian émigré, Preminger began his Hollywood career in 1936 as a contract director. When the conditions emerged that led to the fall of the studio system, he had the insight to perceive them clearly and the boldness to take advantage of them, turning himself into one of America's most powerful filmmakers. More than anyone else, Preminger represented the transition from the Hollywod of the studios to the decentralized, wheeling and dealing New Hollywood of today. Chris Fujiwara's critical biography--the first in more than thirty years--follows Preminger throughout his varied career, penetrating his carefully constructed public persona and revealing the many layers of his work.

Book Description

Josiah Benton was born and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona, home to the beautiful San Francisco Mountain Range and the vanilla scents of the Ponderosa pine forest. Our world would consider his life most unfortunate with the challenges he faced at birth. Not to be fazed by the palsy affecting the left side of his body, Josiah makes the most of life in his forty-seven years on earth. A childhood friend by the name of Caleb Barnes keeps him busy with their favorite games, sleepovers, and a fishing caper, which lands them in hot water with family members who so easily forgave them. Trapped one night in a deer stand, freezing to death if not for the body warmth of his best buddy, Caleb, Josiah sees into his past and the future with the help of an angel. Five key events are shared that set the course for his life. He sees them all in the same vision. One event from the past, he understands. Four events are yet to be revealed. In our lifetimes, there are four to five events each of us experiences to make an impact on the kingdom of the Lord, our families, and our own lives. The impact can be positive, or the impact can be negative. Take a journey with Josiah and see where these future events lead him. See if the world becomes a better place after Josiah takes his last breath. You will meet the love of Josiah’s life, Rebecca Adsila. The origin of their relationship is unique to say the least, and oh, do they have so much in common. Three great adventures await them spanning two and half decades. Their final act of kindness and conviction for the masses is one for the ages. The story is narrated by Josiah Benton himself as he rests while taking in his last breaths in bed. The same bed his beautiful wife, Becca, died in just six months prior. Now, it is Josiah’s turn. No bother to him. He is more than ready to go home and be with his Becca. He is fortunate to be surrounded by his two children and four grandchildren, or is he hallucinating and confused? Clues along the way reveal the truth about Josiah, but the challenge will be piecing them together and solving the puzzle, only to be revealed right at the very end.

Following in her mother and aunt's footsteps from the Pike series, Max takes her turn at matchmaking, or meddling as everyone else dubs it. Max uses a party in the loft to bring two people, Tracy and Alice, together who have been admiring each other from afar. But she's continually distracted in a way she's never experienced before, when a punk rock princess, cosplaying as an elf from her favorite book series steps unexpectedly into her life, making Maxine question everything she ever thought she knew about her own life.

Book Description

Enjoy the fourth book in this completed series of five lighthearted, fast-paced, twisty paranormal cozy mysteries today Appearances can be deceiving. Amber Blackwood, Edgehill’s secret resident witch, recently found her parents’ grimoires and the powerful time spells within. The malevolent Penhallow clan has been ruthlessly seeking the grimoires so they can travel back in time to undo their clan’s cursed magic. Because the Penhallows will stop at nothing, Amber must find an impregnable hiding place for the grimoires, though she has no clue where to start looking. When her cousin Edgar suggests the game of Magic Cache, a magic-infused version of geocaching played by witches all over the world, Amber agrees to learn how to play. After all, a weird plan is better than no plan. When the magical search leads her to the neighboring town of Marbleglen—“the safest town in Oregon”—Amber assumes her only problem will be dealing with its snooty residents. Instead, she gets caught up in a murder investigation where one man is dead and a second one framed for the crime. To complicate matters, the framed man’s condescending daughter, Bianca, wants Amber’s help—and Bianca just happens to chair Marbleglen’s Floral Frenzy Flower Festival Committee, the rival to Edgehill’s own Here and Meow Festival Committee. The two women are thrown into an uneasy alliance. Joined by her new frenemy, her growing inner circle, and Edgehill’s Chief Brown, Amber works to unravel the mystery to ensure the right culprit ends up behind bars and Marbleglen’s safety is restored. But Amber knows that even if Marbleglen’s mystery is resolved, a bigger danger lurks in the shadows. If the Penhallows claim the grimoires of Amber’s late parents, they’ll use the books’ time-reversal spells to try to stop the curse from ever having poisoned their clan—and, in the process, possibly rewriting history. ----- KEYWORDS: paranormal cozy mystery series, paranormal cozy mystery, paranormal cozy books, paranormal cozy authors, cozy paranormal authors, witch cozy mystery, witch cozy mystery series, cozy witch books, cozy witch, best witch cozy mysteries, cozy mysteries, cozy mystery series, cozy mystery books, cat fiction books, cat fiction, cat fiction series, witch series books, cozy mystery, paranormal cozy mystery, paranormal mystery, cozy witch mystery, cat mystery, cozy murder mysteries, cozy murder mystery, witches, small town mystery, small town murder mystery, quirky town

Book Description

FLAMES OF FREEDOM is an American Gothic horror tabletop role-playing game, based on the award-winning ZWEIHÄNDER RPG. It is the dawn of the American Revolutionary War of 1776. A tangled web of conspiracy spans North America. It does not matter what your creed, color, culture, faith or gender is—all stand together in the war for survival. Every Rebel patriot holds Thomas Paine’s Common Sense aloft as they take up arms against the British Empire. The city of Boston is occupied by the Red Coats, surrounded by Rebel militias. But as the revolution has begun, something far more mysterious stirs. Agents of the occult entreat both the Continental Army and British Empire. Freemasons conspire in the City of Brotherly Love. Maryland is in the throes of a witch hunt by the Knights Templar. Amid the chaos, other grim fairy tales have emerged. Ghouls have been tunneling beneath Boston. There are sightings of witches in the Great Dismal Swamp. Indigenous sachem speak of devils who walk among the living. The Leeds Devil haunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. And worse still, a shadowy collective called “The Mandoag” seeks to consume all, Loyalists and Rebels alike. In this game, most people have either chosen to deny the supernatural or rationalize it away. A rare few accept it for what it is to act. You are among those heroes and destined for greatness… or death. This alternative history game includes most of what you need to play: a player’s handbook, a game master’s guide, a bestiary, and an introductory adventure set in Boston. All that’s left are a few friends, pencils and a handful of dice. FLAMES OF FREEDOM is an American Gothic horror tabletop role-playing game, based on the award-winning ZWEIHÄNDER RPG.​
