Description Apprentice by Rick Pullen


Tish Woodward, a young inexperienced newspaper reporter, finds she is quickly out of her depth when a political assassination thrusts her into investigating the new president-elect, who himself is not ready for prime time.

She slowly learns the ways of Washington’s political insider game, but she is never comfortable trying to play the style of hardball that is served up daily.

This fast-paced thriller from the author of the 2016 Amazon bestseller “Naked Ambition,” explores how a sincere young woman gradually comes to terms with the nation’s ugly political realities. She struggles with her insecurities trying to fit into a culture she is certain she does not belong. And as she investigates the assassination, she makes a startling and embarrassing discovery that could reveal the identity of the assassin and alter the course of her life. But only if she can manage, somehow, to stay alive.

Description of Actor by Douglas Gardham


It is 1991 when Ethan Jones finally wins the role of his dreams in an upcoming, big screen movie. With the envelope holding the script clutched in his hand, he arrives at his California apartment where he can hardly wait to tell his live-in girlfriend the exciting news. But when he finds the door unexpectedly ajar, he has no idea that in just a few seconds, the life he has fought so hard to obtain will be shattered. Eight years earlier, Ethan is attending university in Ottawa, Canada.

One evening after seriously contemplating suicide, he finds his way into a club where he meets Mila Monahan, a beautiful acting student who saves him from himself. After he watches Mila rehearse a university play, Ethan catches the acting bug and decides to pursue his own creative passions, causing a collision with his more secure ideals. But when Mila suddenly disappears, Ethan vows he will never stop chasing the dream she inspired in him believing in a world entirely different from the one he is living in.

Thanks to Lauren Roberts of Smith Publicity, I am giving away one print copy of Rushing of the Brook by Kansas Bradbury.

Description of Rushing of the Brook by Kansas Bradbury


It’s 1987, and a dark shadow is about to fall upon the city of Sifton and its residents. Hayward Barry and his best friends—Joe, Davey, and Pete—are typical fifth- and sixth-grade boys, hanging out after school and getting into trouble. However, powerful urges and deep feelings have begun to grow in the boys as they approach young adulthood; for Hayward, this is his affection for Beth, a girl in his class who he fears will be swept away by another boy named Daniel. For Pete, it is a volatile temper and the desire to always get his way. When Davey is given something that Pete wants, it sets off a disastrous chain of events that strips them all of their childhood, drowning their innocence to the sound of a rushing brook—a sound none of them will forget.

As misery and happenstance would have it, the day tragedy strikes Hayward and his friends, a murderous monster awakes from hibernation in a town miles away. Getting into a stolen vehicle with bloody clothes and an unspeakable lust for violence, the nameless man drives towards Sifton, wreaking destruction and horror along the way. While his story won’t collide with the boys’ lives until seventeen years later—when they have all grown up—this man will reopen old wounds and awaken the trauma that has never healed. Hayward, now a failed artist and reluctant police officer, is left to pick up the pieces of a shattered community and solve the mystery of the event that has come to dominate his life.
