Blaze Returns

Axel Blaze Thriller Book 1

A page-turning debut thriller in the lone ranger tradition of Lee
Child’s Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp and Mark
Greaney’s The Gray Man novels. The fast-paced brutal action of Axel
Blaze, the new tough guy in town, is catching the imagination of readers of
thriller novels.

“I wasn’t expecting trouble when I pulled off the
highway.” Ex-deputy US Marshal Axel Blaze is doing what he knows best
– dealing with trouble. Ten years in the special forces and five years
in the US Marshals have made Blaze a trained investigator and expert in
combat. Blaze does not fight his opponents; he puts them down. He strikes
first. And hard. Takes them out. Fast.

Deputy Marshal Carter has gone missing in Little Butte, Nevada. The Dawsons
own the town. The Mexican cartel is moving in on their meth business. A gang
war is coming to town. Director Flynn asks Blaze to return for one last
assignment. It is up to Blaze to find Carter before all hell breaks
loose.

Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin and the Synchronous Fireflies of the Great Smoky Mountains – Blitz by @RABTBookTours

Adventures of Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin

Children’s Book

Date Published: April 6th 2022

Publisher: Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc.

What animal can hold a child’s attention better than a mischievous, cunning
penguin?! Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, is such a penguin. Despite her
small size, she can be an example to children. Size is an obstacle only if
you let it be. Penguins are some of the most entertaining animals on the
planet! Come and join Piddle Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, and her family as
they enjoy the amazing synchronous fireflies in the Great Smoky Mountains of
Tennessee!

About the Authors

Wayne A. Major and Ralphine Major both grew up in Corryton on their
family’s dairy farm in rural East Tennessee. Always surrounded by lots
of animals, they developed a love for them at an early age. Both went on to
graduate from The University of Tennessee with degrees in Business
Administration. Wayne majored in Marketing and is retired from the State of
Tennessee. Ralphine majored in Office Administration with a teaching
certification, and is retired from the Tennessee Valley Authority. Though
she has never had a journalism class, she uses her God- given talent as a
contributing writer of a weekly true human-interest column for The Knoxville
Focus ( http://www.knoxfocus.com ).

Years later, one Sunday morning Wayne was sitting in the choir at Wallace
Memorial Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, and something unexpected
happened. He was listening to a sermon about David and Goliath that was
directed toward the youth. Wayne heard a voice say, “You need to write
children’s books.” He even turned to see where the voice came
from. After hearing his story, Ralphine committed to the project as well.
While the brother/sister duo had helped teach kindergarten classes at church
and admired the children’s eagerness and willingness to learn, this
was a new venture and a step of faith.

Getting published did not happen overnight, but it was worth the wait
getting to work with Publisher Janie Jessee, Graphic Designer Tara Sizemore,
and the staff of Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc. The authors believe the great
chemistry they have with Illustrator Teresa Wilkerson is because she grew up
on a dairy farm in East Tennessee also. Wayne created the character, Piddle
Diddle, the Widdle Penguin, which is a registered trademark. Ralphine
vividly remembers how excited Wayne was when he shared about hearing a voice
that Sunday morning in the church choir. She is happy to be a part of this
adventure with Wayne and remembers well that Sunday night when they first
talked about this journey that started in the church choir! The authors are
proud to partner with two generous donors who have helped to put hundreds of
books in the hands of children. God does work in mysterious ways! Throughout
this process, Wayne and Ralphine have felt God’s hand guiding them and
realize how important it is to wait on God’s timing. They hold firm to
Proverbs 3:6 (KJV): “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths.”

Review

I’m really happy where this is going. It’s a great start, Martin A. Cullen has given us everything we need to learn about his world and then set up a great character and story line that we WANT to follow through their adventure.
I liked how quick the pacing was, I found it a quick and easy read that kept me wanting more.
Inara was a wonderful lead and that along with a fast moving plot really makes this one easy to get caught up in.

Every Third Night by Mitch Maiman – Blitz by @RABTBookTours – Publicist @MKWebsiteandSEO

Medical Thriller

Date Published: January 10, 2022

Publisher:
MindStir Media

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

“Every Third Night” is an eye-opening yet poignant story that is
set in a busy, dehumanizing and unyielding New York City residency program
in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1984. It brings the reader into the real
world of medicine at a time of limited supervision and brutal duty hours
through the vantage points of young physicians enduring stressful conflicts
and volatile relationships.

Protagonist and chief resident Jimmy Zito seemingly has it all- brilliant
clinical skills, handsome, a talented teacher, and a gorgeous girlfriend to
boot- but a troubled past and a rash of new conflicts leave him struggling
to survive in this, his last month of training. He desperately tries to
guide his fellow residents through their own personal traumas, but is not
nearly as well equipped to handle the pressure as others might think,
especially considering the toxic and exhaustive work schedule, unchecked
aberrant behavior of attending physicians, and the highly competitive and
emotional demands of Ob-Gyn.

Intern Henry Deluca grapples with the consequences of a horrific surgical
complication that he feels responsible for. Co-chief resident Greta
Greenberg struggles with her personal dilemma in a busy abortion clinic.
Best friend Mike O’Rourke is driven to madness by an unreasonable superior’s
callousness concerning a dying patient with ovarian cancer. And Kim Clark,
Jimmy’s occult but obvious love interest, is at wits end after constantly
being tortured by her sadistic Chairman. Jimmy’s ultra-needy girlfriend and
stubborn father do not make things any easier. The intertwined subplots all
mesh together and come crashing down when an unexpected, dramatic and
haunting mishap leaves the program reeling and Jimmy’s life forever
transformed.

About the Author

Dr. Mitchell Maiman became a physician at age twenty-four and is now
retired. As a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology and sub-specialist in
Gynecologic Oncology, he has had a distinguished academic, clinical and
research career in medicine and served as both a Director of Gynecologic
Oncology and Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology at major New York City
based university hospitals. He has been recognized for his numerous
educational contributions in the field and his devotion and commitment to
the teaching of residents and fellows.

Mitch lives with his wife, Dr. Judy Levy, in Long Island, New York and is
an avid tennis player and practitioner of yoga. They first met during their
residency training. This is his first novel.

Carly, Maddie, Pilot and Cornelious have been waiting forever for their Seniors Only Cruise. After three years of solving crime in their small town, this trip is the relaxing break from Asbury they need. Dreaming of all the fun and drama-free adventures in store for them, the gang settles in for a calm summer cruise.

Soon after departing, things don’t go quite as planned. With strange, new additions to their itinerary, Asbury’s favorite sleuths detect something is amiss. When violence breaks out, Cornelious turns to the captain who quickly reassures everyone aboard. After all, what reason would the crew have to mess with a group of teenagers? Adding to their troubles is Cornelious’ cousin Dane, whose feelings for Maddie have only grown stronger.

Excited to be away from his father and finally dating Maddie, Cornelious tries to ignore his cousin as his insecurities fester. After a stirring revelation from Dane, Cornelious retreats from his friends and finds solace in the ship’s jolly Captain Dex. At the same time, Carly, Maddie and Pilot begin to suspect the crew, believing there’s more than meets the eye with this cruise. Frustrated by Cornelious’ withdrawal, the gang doubles down on their efforts to discover the crew’s motives. Pulled into a dangerous game of who to trust, the gang is determined to find the truth—and mend their friendship.

With relationships called into question and stunning secrets exposed, the gang faces their biggest obstacle yet—trust. Can Cornelious trust the captain more than his friends? With their peers placing blind trust in the crew, can the gang convince them otherwise, before it’s too late? Or are Pilot, Carly and Maddie just overreacting? With constantly changing itineraries, a scheming crew lurking behind every door, a happy-go-lucky captain refusing to dig deeper, and lifelong relationships put to the test, can the gang rekindle their relationship with each other and figure out what’s really going on?

Policing Bodies by I. India Thusi – Blitz by @RABTBookTours – Publicist @MKWebsiteandSEO

Law, Sex Work, and Desire in Johannesburg

 

Nonfiction / Law

Date Published: December 21, 2021

Publisher: Stanford University Press

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Sex work occupies a legally gray space in Johannesburg, South Africa, and
police attitudes towards it are inconsistent and largely unregulated. As I.
India Thusi argues in Policing Bodies, this results in both room for
negotiation that can benefit sex workers and also extreme precarity in which
the security police officers provide can be offered and taken away at a
moment’s notice. Sex work straddles the line between formal and informal.
Attitudes about beauty and subjective value are manifest in formal tasks,
including police activities, which are often conducted in a seemingly ad hoc
manner. However, high-level organizational directives intended to regulate
police obligations and duties toward sex workers also influence police
action and tilt the exercise of discretion to the formal. In this liminal
space, this book considers how sex work is policed and how it should be
policed. Challenging discourses about sexuality and gender that inform its
regulation, Thusi exposes the limitations of dominant feminist arguments
regarding the legal treatment of sex work. This in-depth, historically
informed ethnography illustrates the tension between enforcing a country’s
laws and protecting citizens’ human rights.

About the Author

I. India Thusi is Professor of Law at Indiana University Bloomington Maurer
School of Law, with a joint appointment at the Kinsey Institute. She has
worked with the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, the Center for Constitutional
Rights, and The Opportunity Agenda.

About the Author

I grew up in Estes Park, Colorado, and spent my formative years among deer,
coyotes, and beautiful blue columbine. I could see snow-capped peaks in
almost every direction. Living on the boundary line of the Rocky Mountain
National Park I could wander in by stepping out the backdoor of my childhood
home.

Today I am a full-time author writing Sweet Romance, Westerns,
Women’s Fiction, and Romantic Mysteries about cowboys, teachers, the
great outdoors—even Alzheimer’s. So far, there is a wonderful
dog in each of my novels. (I love dogs and horses too.)

Prior to full-time writing, I was an actor, a singer, an audio/video
producer, a classroom teacher, and a school principal. I claim to be an
eclectic reader and, therefore, an eclectic writer who loves to hike, cook,
read, and write.
