Spring, 1916. Best friends Tulsa May Bruder and Luther Briggs are on a mission. After a very public jilting, everybody is looking at Tulsa May with such sad, sorrowful eyes. Can a pretend romance turn that pity into gossip? The plain preacher's daughter and the handsome heartthrob with the bad reputation. Would anyone even believe it?

Convincing the town requires moonlit walks, stolen kisses and a brassiere used as a fanbelt.

If faith can move mountains, what can the utter lack of faith achieve?

Major Max Bradley left his faith, along with a leg, in the sands of Iraq. Even the Marine Corps, the only thing that mattered to him, thanked him for his service and sent him on his way. Feeling abandoned, left adrift and without purpose, scotch and Oxycontin became his only friends. He lives a hermit’s life on a boat moored in a small coastal North Carolina town, struggling with addiction as well as the physical and emotional scars from a war that now seems pointless. He only just exists, caught between pain and despair, until one night his world and his perceived place in that world are turned upside down.

A call for help snaps him out of his drug laden fog and a chance midnight rescue brings him together with the woman who will pull him out of himself and will show him that he is more powerful than he has ever imagined.

But when a matchbook with a phone number scrawled inside is dropped into her “donations” box, Carol is plunged into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a mystery man who dangles a dramatically different story of Ella’s death.

“…you will absolutely not be disappointed. Highly recommended reading.” -Richard

We’ve all seen it on the news every year. A hurricane, a tornado, a tsunami, a flood. A BAD thing happens, and all hell breaks loose. Some people are caught in the chaos or become victims, others run or maybe wait for help, most sit at home watching for everything to be fixed, and a few dive in to do whatever they can.

The thing about a zombie apocalypse is whether or not you’re in that initial wave of people who get hungry and start snacking. And where you are as few turn to many. As we all know, when it’s zombies, soon many turns to most; and it’s over when most become all.

Apocalypse Atlanta follows three different people on three different paths as the zombies start eating and bring the world down around them a bite at a time. The fall of the city is not skipped over to get to the zombies, or condensed into a few pages or paragraphs. Apocalypse Atlanta starts on just another normal day, and tracks the fall as normal turns to breaking news, to crisis, to panic, to anarchy, and finally full on apocalypse.

Are there right or wrong answers when zombies are involved? Do things like morality and decency matter? Is it better to be alive to feel guilty, or dead and honorable? Who decides who’s right or wrong when a single mistake can make you dinner for a ravenous horde of the undead?

“It kept me on the edge of my seat.” -Chick Lit Central review

What if your husband had an affair with a beautiful actress?

What if you were blackmailed into impersonating someone else on primetime TV?

What if your beloved twelve year old son suddenly disappeared?

What if you fell hopelessly in love with someone you definitely shouldn't have fallen in love with?

Could you ever be happy again?

Jane Anderson has always been happy for her husband Paul, a handsome garden designer, to take the spotlight while she looks after their son Jeremy. But when Paul wins a gold medal at the world-famous Chelsea Flower Show, he catches the eye of glamour-puss Elizabeth – and it's not just his horticultural skills she's interested in. Jane's oldest friend Susie invites her to New York for a little therapeutic shopping and sightseeing, but in Manhattan Jane finds she bears an amazing likeness to TV’s Rosie Reynolds, ultra-glamorous host of the popular news and talk show Happy Hour, and that’s when her troubles really begin. After Rosie's botched face-lift Jane is offered the job of emergency stand-in on Happy Hour. But here she meets Lou, a dangerously charming man who also happens to be Rosie's husband…

For Jane, it's the hour of truth.

Centuries after a civilization-ending event, the world is a very different place. Handro's life has not been easy, and while he has people that care about him, he keeps his distance, forever searching for something he doesn’t realize he desperately needs.

But Handro may have gone too far as he sets out on a new path that quickly grows dark and twisted. Confronted with madness and betrayal, Handro finds facing his own mortality may be easier than traveling the unexplored landscape within his soul.

While HANDRO is a tale of post-apocalyptic fiction, the survival skills employed are indeed real. Hopefully, Reader, you will never have to use them.

It’s bad enough survivor Christopher Michaels scares her with claims that if one dies violently, his ghost will haunt the place that holds his name. And to top it all, one of those thousands of ghosts follows Miranda to her hotel. The only certainty is the ghost grabbing her under the covers is not Jake.

The first human to be cut out of the universe, by her own choice, is a beautiful teenage girl.

Using nothing more than MRI technology, a groundbreaking physics technique claims to be able to delete matter temporarily from existence—be it a volume of space, or a human being. The best part of all: it's perfectly safe.

Eighteen-year-old Raedyn Summers has wanted nothing else but to one-up her boyfriend's infuriating younger brother, physics prodigy Gabriel Rockwell, since the day he and his punk attitude swaggered into her life. So when it comes time to test his invention, she rises to his stupid dare: prove she's gutsy enough to erase herself from existence for five seconds.

For his part, Gabriel's just glad it's not him when he seals his brother's irritatingly hot girlfriend inside their startup's prototype. But when she vanishes before his eyes and reappears five seconds later, he regrets egging her on. Even more so he regrets his own decision to do it. Because even after they come back, part of them stays deleted.

Now they both jolt awake at 3:33 a.m. every night, vomiting and muttering incoherently, just as a horned figure standing over them evaporates to smoke. Their bodies are changing, becoming addicted to the drug-like rush of being cut out of the universe. Strangest of all, they've developed the ability to move objects with their minds.

Now Gabriel and Raedyn must come to terms with their twisted, star-crossed infatuation with each other, solve a puzzle in quantum mechanics, and resist the siren-like pull of deleting themselves for ever longer periods of time—before they lose their souls to an unthinkable limbo outside the boundaries of spacetime.

Book Of The Day – The Witch Of Napoli

Today's Book of the Day is a Historical Fiction novel by Amazon bestselling author Michael Schmicker and it's 75% off for a limited time. The Witch of Napoli has a 4.3 star rating and is on sale for only 99 cents – save $3!

“The Witch of Napoli is an exciting and thought provoking novel which I can highly recommend.” Pauline – Amazon Reviewer


The Witch of Napoli
by Michael Schmicker
Rating: 4.3 Stars
Genre: Historical Fiction
Price: $0.99 save $3

 

Amazon Top 100 Bestseller and Award-Winner

Italy 1899: Fiery-tempered, seductive, medium Alessandra Poverelli levitates a table at a Spiritualist séance in Naples. A reporter photographs the miracle, and wealthy, skeptical, Jewish psychiatrist Camillo Lombardi arrives in Naples to investigate. When she materializes the ghost of his dead mother, he risks his reputation and fortune to finance a tour of the Continent, challenging the scientific and academic elite of Europe to test Alessandra's mysterious powers. She will help him rewrite Science. His fee will help her escape her sadistic husband Pigotti and start a new life in Rome. Newspapers across Europe trumpet her Cinderella story and baffling successes, and the public demands to know – does the "Queen of Spirits" really have supernatural powers?

Nigel Huxley is convinced she's simply another vulgar, Italian trickster. The icy, aristocratic detective for England's Society for the Investigation of Mediums launches a plot to trap and expose her. Meanwhile, the Vatican is quietly digging up her childhood secrets, desperate to discredit her supernatural powers; her abusive husband Pigotti is coming to kill her; and the tarot cards predict catastrophe.

Inspired by the true-life story of controversial Italian medium Eusapia Palladino (1854-1918), The Witch of Napoli masterfully resurrects the bitter,19th-century battle between Science and religion over the possibility of an afterlife.

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

The standout part of this story is Schmicker’s enviable ability to build atmosphere. I gasped when Alessandra was possessed by spirits, felt my heart sink when she lost her faith in herself, and I could practically smell the air of Naples even in my Midwestern living room. This is an incredible story about humanity, honor, belief, and the darkness inside people.

*******

This has to be one of the most engaging stories I have read in the past five years, and I have 863 books archived on my Kindle and nearly 200 on my Nook reader.While I am not a huge fan of paranormal novels I am always looking for one with the right characters and setting to pull me in. When they are well researched historical pieces, I am most susceptible to being hooked. This one is exceptional.

*******

For me personally, a measure of enjoyment in a book is how often I start and stop before finishing the book. This was a straight through read which held my interest with elements of drama, history and plain fun with each turn of the page. I hope success with this book will encourage more writings by Schmicker on the subject both Fiction and non-fiction. WELL DONE!

*******

I thoroughly enjoyed The Witch of Napoli and found it to be a delightful blend of both interesting characters and well-paced plot set in a rich historical place and time. Schmicker succeeds in his first fiction novel following two masterful non-fiction products. Bravo Mr. Schmicker. You clearly also have a talent for fiction. Now, get on with your second!

*******

Michael Schmicker draws on all his gifts as a journalist, student of the paranormal, and storyteller to make The Witch of Napoli—a novel about a nineteenth-century Italian medium named Alessandra Poverelli—captivating and compelling. I read it quickly, in three nights, and then started to read it again, savoring the story—and admiring Schmicker’s skill—more the second time.

About The Author

Michael Schmicker is an investigative journalist, nationally-known writer on scientific anomalies, and author of the Amazon Top 100 historical fiction novel “The Witch of Napoli.” Michael began his writing career as a crime reporter for a suburban Dow-Jones newspaper in Connecticut, and worked as a freelance reporter in Southeast Asia for three years. He has also worked as a stringer for Forbes magazine, and Op-Ed contributor to The Wall Street Journal Asia.

Michael is the co-author of “The Gift, ESP: The Extraordinary Experiences of Ordinary People” (St. Martin’s Press, hardcover, paperback, e-book (USA); Rider/Random House (UK). His first book, “Best Evidence,” has emerged as a classic in the field of scientific anomalies reporting since its first publication in 2000.

Michael’s debut novel, “The Witch of Napoli” (January 2015), is historical fiction with a paranormal twist, set in Italy and England in 1899. On March 6, 2015 it made the Amazon Top 100, ranking #41 in paid books out of 3.3 million books available in the Kindle Bookstore. That same day, it hit #1 in both the Historical Fantasy and Victorian Historical Romance categories in three countries – the U.S., Canada and England. It has since earned a 2015 BRAG Medallion (Historical Fiction); a combined 178 five-star reviews from Amazon and Goodreads readers, and high praise from critics: Kirkus Reviews calls it “Impressive…an enchanting and graceful narrative that absorbs readers from the first page.” Huffington Post Books calls it haunting: “…science and the supernatural collide in a burst of passion you won’t soon forget.” The San Diego Book Review praises it as “One of a kind…a deeply moving novel you can’t put down,” while the Historical Novel Society finds it “Utterly absorbing…Highly recommended.” And the Literary Fiction Book Review calls it “Meticulously researched…a riveting tale of 19th century Europe and its obsession with the occult.”

Michael has been a featured guest on national broadcast radio talk shows, including twice on Coast to Coast AM (560 stations in North America, with 3 million weekly listeners). He also shares his paranormal investigations and writings through popular webcasts including Skeptiko, hosted by Alex Tsakiris; Speaking of Strange with Joshua Warren; the X-Zone, with Rob McConnell (Canada); and he even spent an hour chatting with controversial, spoon-bending celebrity Uri Geller on his program “Parascience and Beyond” (England). He reviews books for the Journal of Scientific Exploration; is a contributor to EdgeScience magazine; serves on the Board of Advisers of the Rhine Research Center; and is a member of both the American Society for Psychical Research as well as England’s venerable Society for Psychical Research.

His interest in investigating the paranormal began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand where he first encountered a non-Western culture and people who readily accept the reality of ghosts and spirits, reincarnation, psychics, mediums, divination,and other persistently reported phenomena unexplainable by current Science. Before joining Peace Corps, he studied documentary film production at New York University and the British Film Institute. He spent his first year in Bangkok teaching English to middle school students at the royal Buddhist monastery of Wat Bowonniwet, and the subsequent two years writing and producing with Thai colleagues a Sesame Street-inspired educational television series for the Thai Ministry of Education.

He lives and writes in Honolulu, Hawaii, on a mountaintop overlooking Waikiki and Diamond Head crater. And yes, the sunsets are spectacular. (He posts his Hawaii photos on www.google.com/+MichaelSchmicker).

He’s also an active member of the Goodreads online book lovers community.

Thank you for considering today’s Book Of The Day – Michael Schmicker and ENT appreciate it.

When Defense Department protocol is turned on its head and Mark is sent to Iberia at the behest of his cryptic boss, Mark figures there is more than patriotism at play. Prison Ana begins to suspect that, too. But when the Basque terrorists who are holding her threaten her life for the exchange of one deadly secret, will the Americans come through? Or is Ana truly a worthless Spanish-American pawn?
