TODAY'S AUTHOR at INDIE BOOK SOURCE http://carternovels.com/author-jerry-morton.html Jerry grew up in a Coast Guard family who moved quite a bit, with the result that he attended 8 different public schools. These circumstances provided him with some unusual experiences and insights into the many subcultures that exist in the northern and midwestern states. Experiences in the south began for him when he attended Centre College of Kentucky. During that time he worked as a deckhand on an ocean going dredge boat off the Texas coast for two summers. This work provided him with additional cultural interactions with a large number of Hispanics and people from "Louisiana Bayou country". Upon graduating from Centre, he pursued an M. S. degree in school psychology at Miami University of Ohio. Within days of graduating from Miami U. he was experiencing basic training in the U. S. Army.

Reluctant Lieutenant: From Basic to OCS in the Sixties is his memoir of that experience. Upon being commissioned, he was assigned to the JFK Special Warfare Center, Ft. Bragg, N. C. The army gave Jerry additional opportunities to work with many individuals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. When he completed his military obligation, he worked for two years as the only school psychologist in seven inner city schools of St. Petersburg, Florida, which were being integrated for the first time. His many experiences with diverse cultures served him well during that stressful time... . Read more at LINK above.

Before they started out, all three made a choice - to forget they share a single soul. In tech-ruled post-Crack Earth, where magic doesn't officially exist, project manager Ali's humdrum life under the crumbling Melba Dome is becoming weirder by the day. Her fingers keep glowing, a snarky dragon takes up residence in her head, and people she thought were her friends keep trying to control, kidnap or assassinate her. To top it off, she can't figure out why her previously perfect memory is suddenly full of holes. Meanwhile, on Heavens Gate, where magic and science have forged an uneasy alliance, research analyst Merindah is desperate to save her dying planet. What she lacks in magical ability, she more than makes up for in ambition, which comes in handy as she navigates family politics and feral deities. But when an impatient and not-so-extinct dragon begins to help her solve the puzzle of the Yarran journal, she realises her magic might not be as weak as she'd thought.

But the reviews were in, and it was too late. She'd already fallen for leading man James Bayer who, simply put, is not a good actor. Although critics from across the globe had ripped apart his wooden superhero turn in Clan of Justice, he'd somehow convinced her--a federal agent-turned-yoga instructor--to travel to Africa and fight against a highly-armed, rebel militia of ivory poachers: Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army. Enter Iblis, the supernatural demon who's been haunting her late husband's family for generations. He tempts Lauren with an offer. She can either remain on her current path that results in the death of her beloved James OR she can ask Iblis to save him. Unable to bear the thought of losing yet another man, Lauren sets a new chain of events in motion. Events that spur a parallel adventure in Africa with the promise that James will indeed make it out alive. Alive, yes. But at what cost to her? http://carternovels.com/author-leah-downing.html .

For Ildi, it meant that success best happens when it is not built alone. Through a fierce and colorful past that began in South Africa, followed by part of her life in Hungary and then tiny Socorro, New Mexico, Ildi's greatest philosophies were to listen to your gut, build a culture you believe in, and maintain a posture that promotes further enrichment. She now translates those life lessons into her Tribal Abundance™ program, where the concept of collaboration and connection is taught as a framework for ensuring success through interpersonal networks. She designed the program herself, basing the concepts on the anthropological research of Colin Turnbull, who studied two very different tribes and how their approaches to abundance and scarcity resulted in two very different mindsets, usage of resources, and consequences. .

There is a disconnect between economics and ecosystems that continues to be unresolved by theory and by public policy discussions at the highest levels. Nearing graduation, Briana must decide whether to accept an offer from Parkus Corporation, a company that seems leading edge, but may be engaging in questionable environmental practices. As Briana starts to understand the truth about Parkus Corporation – aided in large measure by Jack – she realizes the 21st-century economy may have different rules than the ones baby boomers followed. She begins work on a mathematical model – an entropy model which incorporates variables economists have failed to consider – in order to make more accurate predictions. The first wave of environmental anomalies begins, which briefly increases public awareness about the unsustainability of lifestyles in the United States and the developed world. However, when the events cease unexpectedly, people go back to business as usual. While garnering some attention, Briana’s entropy model needs more work. Years later, after completing their doctorates, Briana and Jack secure federal government research positions tracking environmental incidents and establishing the first comprehensive system of national accounts to fully allocate costs across industry sectors. Briana uses her model to fill in the missing link between economics and ecosystems. Briana’s work brings her and Jack directly into conflict with the Federal Reserve, the White House and the economics’ establishment. Once again, environmental anomalies begin to reoccur throughout the world. This time, as they increase in frequency, the stakes get higher. The clash between economics and ecosystems, between economic theory and public policy are taking place in real time, and the stage is set for the next great transition of the human species – whether for good or ill. Time is running out, and Washington doesn’t want to hear about it, despite the fact that the bubbles keep getting bigger, and the crashes keep getting worse. As financial systems and ecosystems approach a simultaneous peak, will anyone listen before it’s too late to stop the collapse? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D474Y7B . Read more at LINK above.

I took my first taste at age thirteen. I didn't really start drinking regularly until I was fifteen. Like many others my age, we drank on weekends and during special events. It was fun, we laughed and thought we were very grown up. However, as time passed, alcohol became a daily refuge for me. While I was in college, I always seemed to have alcohol on hand. Beer inthe car, drinks in a bar or at lunch, drinking with friends after work became ritual. Sometimes I snuck booze into the student union so I would not be away from my best friend for long. Yes, booze was becoming my best friend. . Read more at LINK above. Promotion by Carter Novels: http://carternovels.com/indie-author-promotions.html Ray Lewis

TODAY'S AUTHOR

TODAY'S AUTHOR at INDIE BOOK SOURCE Kiersten Hall Author http://carternovels.com/author-kiersten-hall.html Kiersten Hall has been writing stories all her life… in her head. She is finally taking the time to put those stories down on paper for others to read. Kiersten is planning on publishing one book per year, or at least, that's the goal. Most days, she can be found at 'Command Central' (her beloved desk.) It's 7' x 7' with lots of storage, yet there's only 1 square foot of space (on a good day) available for her to utilize due to all the stacks of 'things to do' when she has the time; which could literally be years from now. Command Central has been an integral part of Kiersten's 'Master Plan' for taking over the world, which is currently going on 20 years. It's seen a lot of work get done, and a lot of stories written. Kiersten is also a firm believer in the fact that 'duct tape fixes everything,' since that is what's helping to hold her desk together, at the moment. When Kiersten is not sitting at Command Central, busy at work, she can sometimes be found jockeying for rations of food in the kitchen with her two teenage sons who live with her in small-town America. She does admit to having a plethora of hiding spaces for edible contraband (candy and other snacks which shouldn't be consumed with a sedentary lifestyle), in the 49 square feet of her beloved desk. However, she also has her suspicions that her kids know where those hiding spots are, and patiently wait until they are sure Kiersten has completely forgotten about the hidden treats, and claim them for their own. .

TODAY'S AUTHOR

TODAY'S AUTHOR at INDIE BOOK SOURCE Ellie Douglas http://carternovels.com/author-ellie-douglas.html I’m Ellie Douglas, and like you, I love horror, everything about horror, the goriest and most gruesome of horrors is the ultimate. I can’t get enough. So much so that I write horror. That need to be graphic, and explicit with my horror scenes makes me stand out. I give what I want to read to others, so now they can enjoy a true horror story. I’m not all about just being graphic, I also build characters that the readers will love and or hate, so they can feel pulled right inside of the story that they are reading. It gives me so much enjoyment when I hear remarks like, ‘You made me want to puke,’ ‘I have nightmares every damned night –thanks,’ and ‘Quentin Tarantino and Steven King made a baby, YOU!’ when I hear comments like that, I know then I’ve succeeded, that also pushes me into writing more and becoming even better. I’m fun loving, generous and very mysterious. I enjoy spending time with my family, and have four children to keep the horror writing alive. I enjoy helping others and volunteer my services to help Autistic children, I love cosplay and the chance to dress up as a monster, zombie or some other gritty character is fun, oh so much fun. .
