Congo Terror
James leaned over toward Julia, grabbed her hand securely, and exhaled deliberately. He felt sorry that his cocky attitude almost got him killed, and in front of Julia.
Julia and James, former high school sweethearts, meet up thirteen years after graduation in Eastern Congo. Julia is a volunteer nurse and James is a Special Forces soldier. The reunion is a surprise, but romance quickly begins to rekindle.
A trip to a Congolese friend’s garden turns terrifying when James and Julia are abducted by a group of notorious rebel soldiers bent on using their captives to leverage a broader control of the Masisi region. Their early love, dormant for more than a decade, blossoms amid the horrific conditions of captivity in a rebel encampment. The two become a beautiful, unified team as a hope for a successful escape moves from a plan to a riveting reality.
Congo Terror offers horror, hope, and simple love in one of the deadliest places on Earth.
Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth Bennet’s first encounter with eligible bachelor Mr. Darcy leaves her put off by his arrogance and conceit. He appears indifferent to both her beauty and her spirited wit. The brilliant comedy of manners that follows is a lesson about the folly of making judgments based on first impressions and a lovely observation of the friendships, gossip and pretension of rural England’s early-nineteenth century middle-class life. Originally published in 1813, Austen’s novel is one of the most beloved pieces of English literature of all time and is a welcome first installment in the new “shining a light on the classics” series from Shine-A-Light Press.
The Gift of Tyler
In 1972, a stranger revealed a prophecy to a teenager named Flower in Seattle, Washington. The mysterious old woman told the girl that she would have a son one day who would be a gift to the world.Alone in the Metal
Alaric and his older brother, Leroy, were orphaned at a young age. While they spend their days busy and making bets for sweets, what they want more than anything is to find their parents and, with that reunion, hope to learn the reason for their abandonment. Unfortunately, so far, they have no leads because no one in the orphanage will admit to knowing anything about their family.
The night before Leroy’s seventeenth birthday, everything changes when he eavesdrops on a conversation between Mrs. Winters, the headmaster, and one of the instructors. Leroy is left stunned to learn that every child in the orphanage is an android, stolen from their families and made into weapons for the military.
Leroy malfunctions and leaves all he remembers in a journal hidden under his mattress. Alaric finds the journal, which leads him down a dark road of questions and anger.
As memories of horrific acts that he has unwittingly committed in the name of the military come flooding back to him, he decides to embark on his most difficult mission yet: fighting for his own freedom.
