(Book 2 ANNIHILATORS Now Available) The last sentence she heard was "Goodbye, Joyce Allison Jackson, hello B L Seven Forty-Two." Poor Joyce; on top of having a father who despised her, the day she leaves him she's abducted. Her captors are drawn by her beauty. They are not rapists, at least most aren't. No, they are a dangerous group dealing in human trafficking. Joyce, their latest acquisition, is the seven hundred forty-second blonde to be branded, trained, and sold at auction. Redheads and brunettes fall into their own numerological categories. It depends on what this small syndicate sees as marketable potential or what their clientele of super-rich have asked. For over a decade they've been in business. Thousands of people have either been killed or sold. Their methods are frighteningly successful. An association with a genius surgeon holds the key. During his human experiments in search of an age restoration inoculation, he discovered a lethal drug that reverses brains to an embryonic level. When used during perilous hypnotic sessions, it assassinates personalities thus allowing the switching of victims into sub-human slaves. One of the unwanted side effects is memory dreams, dreams of actual living experiences. Joyce's hard upbringing is shown through them. She endured her father by developing a strong will to survive. Her fierce resolve to be free led her to leave without divulging her plans. On her first night of celebrating, she chooses the wrong bar in a faraway town. Without warning she's hauled into a terrifying world that strips people of their clothes, dignity, and finally, character. It's a nightmare from which no captive has ever escaped. The leader used to be the best paid killer known as "The Eraser". His formidable talent came from strategic planning, which he incorporated into this venture. All his customers pass by a chilling reminder of the assassin he used to be as a warning against betrayal. Although no victim has ever recovered, he placed deadly safeguards in strategic locations. Remote-controlled lethal shock collars coupled with hidden activators in walls, booby-traps, electrified hallways, and dangerous creatures lurking about all guard the only exit. Even with the help of two other captives, will she be able to regain herself and get away or will she become another manufactured slave obeying all commands?

Kelley is reluctantly recruited to find Carrillo's murderer.

But not only does Kelley discover an insidious plan of corruption of Venezuelan and US politicians, but also uncovers the Venezuelan subsidiary of China's national oil company attempt to acquire a contentious oil lease site in the jungles of eastern Venezuela. Kelley soon finds that both the Metillo cartel and the Chinese are trying to kill him before he discovers too much.
When Denise Roessle became a mother at 45, her long-held dream came true. She felt as if she were 19 again, the age at which she got pregnant out of wedlock and relinquished her newborn son for adoption. Suddenly, he was back - this stranger she had given birth to - and he wasn't just searching for his roots. Joshua was looking for a mom. Eager to embrace the second chance she had been granted, Denise leapt wholeheartedly into the role. "It's a BIG boy," she announced to her family and friends, setting free her twenty-six-year secret. But Joshua was not a boy. He was a grown man, with a history that fell far short of what she had envisioned for him when she'd been assured he would be "better off" without her. His adoptive parents had essentially given up on him at age thirteen, sending him away with only an eighth-grade education. He drifted through a series of institutions and group homes, and ultimately onto the New York City streets, where he fell into drugs and crime. When an early marriage failed, he and his young wife surrendered an infant and toddler to adoption. By the time Denise and her son reunited, he was in his second marriage to a teenaged runaway who was six months pregnant with their first child. Despite her disappointment and his obvious problems, Denise was determined to restore their severed bond and give him the unconditional love that had been lacking in her own childhood. At the same time, she struggled with her parents' adverse reaction to her reunion and their refusal to acknowledge their grandson's existence. The shameful event that they had worked so vigorously to bury was back to haunt them. They could not accept their daughter's happiness at having found her lost child. Still reeling in the overwhelming mix of joy and grief, gratitude and guilt triggered by reunion with her son, Denise received a letter from an aunt she never knew existed. Aunt Mabel revealed some startling information about Denise's mother, who had claimed to be an only child raised by a kindly couple after both her parents passed away. In truth, she was one of nine siblings tossed to the winds by their mother after the death of their father in 1929. As she got to know her new-found aunts, uncles and cousins, Denise became obsessed with understanding how her grandmother could desert her children and how her mother, who so clearly bore the scars of abandonment, could then force her own daughter to give up a child. A year into their reunion, after Josh's wife left him with their ten-month-old daughter, the rage that he had initially denied surfaced. Denise went from feeling like a new mom to the frustrated parent of an out-of-control teenager. In the face of his angry outbursts and threats to cut her off, she remained intent on "fixing" him, believing that, in time, she could heal his wounds. Once more, she put her own pain aside and stood by him as he married twice more and fathered another child. Only when Josh and Denise reached an impasse in year five, did she recognize how emotionally shutdown she had been since relinquishing her son - and how she had let her fear of losing him again hold her hostage. In the silence of their estrangement, she began the hard work that ultimately allowed her to resolve her own issues, reclaim the young woman she had left behind after surrendering what turned out to be her only child, and make peace with the past. She found acceptance and forgiveness for her mother, her son, and ultimately herself.

This book makes the perfect gift to send to any soldier, whether in active duty or retired. Nelson Peregoy was born in 1938 to a 70 year old coal miner father and a 30 year old mother. After graduating high school at l 7, he enlisted into the Army. The first week he was told he had a genius IQ. The second week he was put out of the Army because he was under age. Peregoy returned to the Army at 27 after a successful sales career and became a highly decorated combat pilot flying 336 low level, night combat missions in Vietnam. A near death experience left Peregoy with chronic PTSD. Self medicating with alcohol to control the nightmares, he soon became an alcoholic. Peregoy continued life as a highly functioning alcoholic and hid his PTSD for many years. He mastered, and soon became fluent, in 9 foreign languages and left the Army as a two-star general. During the next 15 years, Peregoy reunited with his second wife, stopped drinking and became ultra wealthy. Even with three company jets and homes on three continents, his unlimited money couldn't keep Peregoy sober. Soon he was drunk, broke and homeless and had lived the life of a derelict. He lived under a bridge in Austin, Texas, for three years and panhandled for enough money to buy his next bottle of wine. Embarking on his next venture, he partnered with homeless vets in the counterfeiting of their veteran's checks for greater sums of money. He was soon arrested and served 35 months in a federal psychiatric prison hospital in Houston, Texas. Peregoy says his 161 IQ was far more of a curse than a blessing. With the hope of possibly saving just one person from a life of the hell he has lived, Nelson Peregoy, now in his 70s, has exposed himself and told his incredible story. This tale stretches the belief system of anyone strong enough to cope with the incredibly emotional ups and downs.
