Jack Fuller,<i> </i>a character created by author D. James Then, is a retired
Air Force investigator-turned-novelist who transforms his real-life cases into
page-turning fiction.<br />
<br />
<i>Fate’s Revenge </i>explains a complex case investigated by Jack Fuller in
the mid-1980s. The novel is<i> </i>the final installment in the author’s <i>Fate
Trilogy.</i><br />
<br />
In <i>Fate's Revenge, </i>Fuller tracks down<i> </i>a brutal female Nazi war
criminal named Erika Becker who committed many murders during the war. Becker
was once a lead guard at the Langenstein-Zwieberge Concentration Camp in the
heart of Germany. Using a pseudonym, Becker has lived a carefree and prosperous
life on American soil for 40 years.<br />
<br />
David Gale, a famous historian and former WW II Army intelligence officer,
helped liberate the Langenstein-Zwieberge camp in 1945.<br />
<br />
Forty years after the liberation of the concentration camp, an unexpected
letter from a man named Aaron Levi arrives at Gale’s residence. Levi, a
survivor of that camp and the Holocaust, served as Gale's personal interpreter
at Langenstein-Zwieberge in 1945, before the war in Europe ended.<br />
<br />
In his letter, Aaron Levi reveals that his wife Rachel owned a <i>one-of-a-kind</i>
peacock brooch, which she hid on her person throughout her incarceration—a
brooch she carried into the Langenstein-Zwieberge camp.<br />
<br />
A pre-war photograph of Rachel wearing the brooch accompanies Levi's surprising
letter. Levi describes how a heavy-set female guard at Langenstein-Zwieberge
stomped his wife to death and stole her peacock brooch.<br />
<br />
Forty years later, through an act of fate, Levi recognizes Erika Becker—thinner
and older—wearing Rachel's one-of-kind peacock brooch. He saw Becker’s face and
the brooch in a photo display in a popular American magazine.<br />
<br />
Immediately, he knew the woman was Erika Becker; however, he did not know
Becker’s pseudonym or her place of residence. Levi included the magazine
clipping with his letter to Gale. Levi’s conclusion: the brooch could only be
Rachel’s; the woman in the magazine photo could only be Ericka Becker.<br />
<br />
Levi contacts Gale because of their past relationship. Levi believes the
historian has the power and influence needed to enact justice against a Nazi
war criminal like Becker.<br />
<br />
Sadly, the 82-year-old Gale has a bad heart and realizes he no longer has the
strength to bring down the former Nazi. However, he knows a White House <i>mover
and shaker </i>who can, his good friend Mick Stephens.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Gale dies of an aneurism while leaving Stephens a jumbled voice
message. However, the message has enough allure and intrigue to make Stephens
seek the help of Jack Fuller, the best investigator he knows.<br />
<br />
Thus begins <i>Fate’s Revenge</i>, an engaging mystery with memorable
characters, filled with twists and turns and a variety of enticing personal and
historical perspectives, including a secret Nazi program commissioned by Rudolf
Hess, Adolf Hitler's second-in-command.<br />
<br />
Key to the story is Evelyn Gale. Evelyn, David Gale’s daughter, is a former
opera star, and a dynamic and forceful woman, as are all women in novels by the
author. Gale works with Fuller to solve the case and an intimate relationship
ensues.<br />
<br />
<i>Fate's Revenge</i> is equal parts intrigue, romance, and discovery. The
novel filled with memorable characters, offers settings and dialogue that are
realistically informative. The novel has a compelling and a surprisingly
creative and informative ending.<div><br /><div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fates-Revenge-Jack-Fuller-Mystery-ebook/dp/B0CYQMZGX5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17YUSEM7EAV4N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.CgWTslwHiUgDxB6FGNU6XQ.0ZbzoisDzo4Z0HImDbVbHqNj_SDCWviwIiEdBvjrtJ4&dib_tag=se&keywords=fate%27s+revenge%2C+a+jack+fuller+mystery&qid=1711204691&sprefix=fate%27s+revenge%2C+a+jack+fuller+mystery%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Purchase at Amazon</span></a><br /><o:p></o:p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p></div></div>D.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">U.S. military action in Laos was an active and deadly part of the Vietnam conflict. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Everything in fiction</b> has roots in fact. It provides greater interest and is more credible!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
Every piece of fiction should be rooted in truth. The scenes you develop, the dialogue you create, every last detail must be based in fact or feeling or observation...turn over every stone and find the jewels. Write with passion, write from experience, write about your ups and downs, about what goes right and what hasn't, about love and loss. The story resides in what you see and feel!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>That Tender Light</i> is a magnificent story that touches the heart, captures the imagination, and explores the redemptive qualities of love and faith. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJDD2HMMWOgPn7YJ8ecsvSTqLxQyiLPsJSbKBVjHz6m-7Ii1iJPPi7IHfSWygj8PwoYb3GoE0n2x4NJL5nsM-T7YAmLTgNZnLzhRQN0k1m8b3XG9TfihDMXkU2fU-lb1H8esVEvJK1wLO/s1600/BookCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyJDD2HMMWOgPn7YJ8ecsvSTqLxQyiLPsJSbKBVjHz6m-7Ii1iJPPi7IHfSWygj8PwoYb3GoE0n2x4NJL5nsM-T7YAmLTgNZnLzhRQN0k1m8b3XG9TfihDMXkU2fU-lb1H8esVEvJK1wLO/s1600/BookCover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The nation’s best investigative reporter, Lockwood McGuire, is asked to find missing novelist Jack Taylor, a Medal of Honor recipient, who disappeared in 1986 without leaving a clue as to his whereabouts. McGuire’s search leads to a farm in Indiana where Missy Lee, a 98-year-old woman, lives with and protects mysterious secrets. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
One of those secrets is Taylor’s final, unpublished novel which describes his love affair with Lee’s niece Lily Veronica Hall, includes the story of a Canadian woman he loved and lost in Laos, is an account of his secret mission to assassinate several men in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and reveals for the first time his torture and escape as a POW.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
From a fateful meeting to a tortuous parting, the union between Lily and Jack is lyrical and touching. Lily is reticent to fall in love. Hurt once in an abusive marriage, the English professor fears losing the qualities that define her as a passionate, intelligent, independent, successful, and decisive woman. Jack Taylor fights his own demons and fears providence will destroy anyone he loves as retribution for the rapture he felt when killing in war.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<i>That Tender Light</i> blends the push and tug of human interaction with mystery, romance, adventure, and redemption. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Kindle and print versions are available by clicking <span style="color: red;"><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/That-Tender-Light-adventure-redemption-ebook/dp/B01DR2QPHE/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8"><span style="color: red;">HERE</span></a>. </b></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span></span></span><br />

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">The
Heart by Which We Live </span>is a story of
murder and revenge, of love lost and love found, of money missing and money
recovered, of tragedy and rebirth, of the importance of human interaction.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the depths of winter and
personal despair, Jack Redding, a lonely and grieving man, travels across the
country with his dog, Bailey, on a pilgrimage to avenge the death of his wife, Jill,
and retrieve nearly $400,000 stolen by the crooked cop who killed her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Police had labeled Jill
Redding’s death accidental, her missing money as an unfortunate loss. However,
a mysterious letter and memory card from a stranger’s cell phone reveal a different
story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Redding is a former Army
Ranger—a tough man with a big heart—who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
He has the temperament and the skill needed to kill another man, having learned
how to do so fighting drug wars in South America. The result: Jack takes
matters into his own hands and, along the way, discovers a new life and new
love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In his travels, Jack meets
people—old friends and new—who touch his life magically, people who help him
remember the joys and pains of lost love and the importance of new romance.
However, murder, mystery, and revenge are never far away in his jumbled life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Flashbacks and introspection
reveal key parts of Jack’s life. He ultimately visits a friend in Las Vegas
where new love blossoms with a woman named Emma Cassidy but death and revenge
threaten that relationship, too. <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">THE HEART BY WHICH WE LIVE </span>blends the push and tug of human interaction with mystery, romance, adventure,
and redemption. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>McToon's Final Shot</b> is a bawdy, funny tale of golf and human passion. The Hillview Club in Morris, Indiana, is the setting and it is the
toughest course in the world. Hillview was built by an Italian
landscaper for a mega-rich Lothario who earned billions from a hot-dog
fortune. In McToon's Final Shot, Killer Jackson, the world's number one
golfer, stops by for what he thinks will be a friendly round of golf
with Hillview's head professional, Dubs Roberts. Killer and Dubs were
teammates in college. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgUhQj0kn9iHoEN-Py73zb0X9Q7VEmke3eXb67JuYBTJ95FhzQc81VUSn_4cRbaIuuaLsOoIDeGWfyURKpv4cql2q-7qLkvduVSYxFRGCfEtV_4ts8pvMP6Y4PKDT6bJMkx6s-2xZTWwwm/s1600/McToons+Final+Shot+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgUhQj0kn9iHoEN-Py73zb0X9Q7VEmke3eXb67JuYBTJ95FhzQc81VUSn_4cRbaIuuaLsOoIDeGWfyURKpv4cql2q-7qLkvduVSYxFRGCfEtV_4ts8pvMP6Y4PKDT6bJMkx6s-2xZTWwwm/s1600/McToons+Final+Shot+Cover.jpg" width="247" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Killer is stopping to visit before a trip to
Indianapolis to play at Twisted Stump in the U.S. Open. Through a
series of circumstances, they play a match against 64-year-old Mac
Tanner and 86-year-old Angus McToon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Angus is a native of Scotland and
an irrepressible character. By the time they finish, the match is worth
upwards of a million dollars, it is being carried live across the world,
and the readers have met all the 'loonies and toonies' who make Morris,
Indiana, such a novel place to live. This is not just the story of a
golf match, it is a story of the personalities who make Morris one of
America's best kept secrets. McToon's Final Shot will make you laugh, it
will thrill you, it will surprise you, and it will make you proud to be
a golfer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You will come to appreciate a golf course of monumental
dimension, you will become friends with the oddest array of characters
to ever grace small-town America, and you will meet the number one
golfer in the world and understand all his quirks. As told by Sanford
Trap, this is a feel good story where the little guy rises up and makes
his mark. If you have ever dreamed of
walking in the shoes of giants, this story is for you, The characters
are rich, the story is funny, the town in great, the golf course is
diabolical, and the adventure borders on the mythical. </span></div>
