Take A Wild Leap

Brendan Murphy nearly died fighting for his country. Now he’s trying to stop a war.

Five years ago, alien ship appeared in low orbit all around the world and stayed there, waiting. A highly advanced alien race known as the Sabia lingered with little contact with humanity, and the worlds’ governments have been eager for answers – and access- for years.

When combat veteran Brendan Murphy is wounded stopping an attack on a Sabia diplomat, he finds himself whisked aboard one of their ships and given medical aid. This rare opportunity finds him walking a tenuous line between burgeoning friendships and secret agenda that will test his loyalties and sanity in ways he can’t begin to imagine.

Penny Nicols sees death coming. Literally.

When creepy omens and eerie songs start playing , someone dies within 24 hours.
It’s not a gift — it’s a curse with lousy timing and worse clues.

New in town and desperate for a fresh start, Penny lands a job at a cozy café… just in time to predict her boss’s death. Now she’s racing the clock, following bizarre signs, and reluctantly teaming up with paranormal podcasters (don’t ask) to stop a killer.

Armed with a psychic streak, a sarcastic side, and a very snarky cat, Penny must face the secrets of her past — and the danger stalking her present — before the Raven of death strikes again.

“Kiss a stranger.”

Those three words started off a series of events I could have never predicted.

Fresh off graduation, I have my entire summer planned out: European vacation with my cousins, college courses, and picking up shifts at work. But then my mom calls and drops the bomb: she’s getting married to the rumored head of the Irish mafia.

Even though I’ve been looking out for her for most of my life, we haven’t lived together in ten years. So when she invites me to stay with her for the summer, I don’t hesitate. And I make a new summer plan: skip the vacation, take online courses, and dig up dirt on Mom’s new fiancé.

What I didn’t plan for was Wolf Fitzgerald–and his brothers. Dangerously good-looking with tattoos and bad attitudes.
And my new stepbrothers.

Life-Changing Journey… but this is NOT a typical blah-blah-blah memoir
Planning is for sissies. A solo bike ride across the country will be filled with sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and 80 degree temps every day, right? Not so much. The Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, an alkaline desert, and the Sierra Nevadas lay miles and days ahead. Disappointment with unrealized potential, and the thirst for what’s next drew farther away in the rotating wide-angle shockproof convex rear-view mirror.
I will ride my bike down a never-ending ribbon of asphalt wearing a backpack.
Cory Mortensen began his bike ride across the United States from Chaska, Minnesota, to Truckee, California, without a route, a timeline, or proper equipment. Along the way, he gained more than technical skills required for a ride that would test every fiber of his physical being and mental toughness. Ride along as he meets “unusual” characters, dangerous animals, and sweet little old ladies with a serious vendetta for strangers in their town.

Humor. Insight. Adventure. Gratitude. Peace.

From long stretches of road ending in a vanishing point at the distant horizon, to stunning vistas, terrifying close calls, grueling conditions, failed equipment, and joyous milestones he stayed the course and gained an appreciation for the beauty of the land, the genius of engineering and marvel of nature.
