A young man discovers an ancient Egyptian amulet, unleashing his own hidden power while unwillingly fighting a celestial war

Jen Drapp announces her return into the publishing scene with the release of “Eye of the Falcon: Book 1 of The Protectors” (published by Archway Publishing), the story of a young man who discovers an ancient Egyptian amulet, unleashing his own hidden power while unwillingly fighting a celestial war.

It is said that someone will one day uncover the Eye of Horus and harness its powers, tasked to protect it until its celestial owner claims it. For centuries, Protectors have been searching for the Eye and the one who is destined to return it, bringing peace to the world of the gods. But there have been many Protectors, and many who have found the Eye, all to be hunted down and killed before they could fulfill their purpose.

When 17-year-old Re Fuller discovers an ancient Egyptian amulet, he unleashes a buried power within himself, inciting the help of Kamilah and her family of Protectors. Together, Kamilah and Re must return the artifact to its rightful owner before it destroys Re from the inside out. In doing so, they are thrust into the midst of a celestial war that leads down a path of danger and the discovery of Re’s true identity — an identity that many would kill for in order to keep it buried forever.

“This story is full of action and adventure, but has threads of Ancient Egyptian history weaved in. it’s a fun story that will allow readers to escape the realities of everyday life,” Drapp says. When asked what she wants readers to take away from the book, she answers, “I want them to be enthralled in the adventure and fall in love with the characters enough to continue reading about their journey in future installments.” For more details about the book, please visit https://www.archwaypublishing.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/844424-eye-of-the-falcon

“Even at the tender age of thirteen, excuse me, thirteen and four months, Athena sees injustice and cruelty in the human world below as well as her beloved Olympus. Mythological creatures are being treated horribly, and many have already disappeared from existence.

“After discussing her plans with her father, Zeus, Athena and Owl, her constant companion, set out to rescue these poor creatures. She hires the greatest architects, builders, artists, and craftsmen in all Olympus and the human world below to build a giant carousel to house her creatures.

“Quickly, she realizes that many of those creatures she wishes to save must be somehow transformed for safety and camouflage. Each one will need special attention in order for her to fulfill her dream.”

Patrick’s spellbinding narrative takes a new and unique approach in re-imagining classic characters of Greek mythology to create an exciting tale full of surprising twists and turns.

Recent release “Ghosts from the North” from Page Publishing author Cleighton MacGregor is a compelling book that introduces John, who is determined to find answers following the death of his wife, who died in an explosion as head of a dive team surveying an eighty-year-old WWII submarine wreck.

Cleighton MacGregor has completed his new book “Ghosts from the North”: a gripping and potent work that tells the story of a man who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth about his wife’s death.

An Islander archeological team on a routine dive off the coast of New Jersey dies from an explosion while surveying an eighty-year-old WWII submarine wreck. Shelly Islander, head of the dive team and wife of the founder of the Islander Foundation, is one of the casualties, and her husband, John, searches for answers. In his search, John determines that the explosion that killed the team was deliberate and that a mystery ship had been keeping watch on the dive. John recruits members of the salvage crew and his wife’s staff, whom she affectionately referred to as the girls, as they chase the mystery ship until it disappears near the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

Further evidence leads them to Havre-Saint-Pierre and a subversive military group that has been infiltrating Canada for eighty years in a plan to overthrow the government. Canadian RCMPs move in an operation requested by the United States State Department to apprehend the group responsible for the death of the American archeological team. The plan backfires and plunges John and his team into an international incident that rocks Canada to its core. Both countries call for investigations, while Canadian candidates prepare for their elections and American politicians fight for political ground.

John and the Islander Foundation pit themselves against two enemies armed with the latest military armaments in a race against the clock. The opposing forces unleash their plans for world domination with a mushroom cloud rising over Pearl Harbor.

Author Cleighton MacGregor writes, “Two German guards made their rounds through the darkened town. Their German shepherd guard-dog strained at the leash while the soldiers made their way through the new home of the 33 Unterseeboots Flottille (Thirty-Third U-Boat Flotilla). The grand admiral sensed the end of Germany was at hand. He had done everything possible that a good German military leader could do and more than most would attempt…just days earlier, he had moved his naval headquarters from Berlin, now besieged by the Russians on the east and north and the soon-to-be arriving Allies in the west. He had argued with the Führer, to escape but to no avail as did the rest of the German High Command. The Führer wanted to ‘defend Berlin to the last man.’ Dönitz knew that this was futile and unrealistic.”

Published by Page Publishing, Cleighton MacGregor’s engrossing tale invites readers to discover how the story unfolds as Canada and the Eastern United States plunge into sudden darkness and John and his team intervene.

Readers who wish to experience this gripping work can purchase “Ghosts from the North” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “The Dark Tomb” from Page Publishing author K.L. Dempsey is a riveting novel introducing Jake Nelson, a private detective whose encounter with an impossibly elderly woman from his past sets him on a collision course with his own demons and a stunning revelation.

K.L. Dempsey, a Detroit native and US Army veteran who worked in marketing and sales for the aviation industry before taking early retirement and presently makes his home in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, has completed his new book “The Dark Tomb”: a gripping and potent thriller that keeps the pages turning until its dramatic conclusion.

“The Dark Tomb” is K. L. Dempsey’s seventh thriller in less than three years and proof that he’s fast becoming a recognized master of this particular style of mystery.

Jake Nelson, the current owner of the Warren Detective Agency located in Warren, Michigan, watched in disbelief as the old woman walked out of the woods while he had been vacation-fishing in Minnesota. It had been more than a shock to see her since this sighting would not have been possible unless she somehow had beaten her expiration date on earth. At the time of their first meeting, he had been twenty-seven years old, working for Eastern Airlines, and she eighty-six when she had joined him and a group of other travel agents on an airline-sponsored familiarization trip to New Orleans. Propulsive as a jolt of adrenaline, “The Dark Tomb” features a storyline that deals with finding out how this sighting could have been possible and the reasons why it is happening now. As the investigation deepens, Nelson calls upon one of the new employees that had just joined the firm to help him solve this mystery and at the same time force him to face his own demons.

Published by Page Publishing, K.L. Dempsey’s engrossing book is a superb choice for avid mystery fiction readers.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “The Dark Tomb” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
