https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0767KHC6X/       Book 1 in the Possum Hollow Series Jimmie Joe Johnson has spent years living up to his hound dog reputation. If he can’t have the one female he truly wants, then any female will do. When he isn’t off diddlin’ some female, he’s practicing for pool playoffs, determined to get his pool team to Vegas. Not only for bragging rights, but for the free trip to ‘Sin City’ and cash prize that comes along with it. Baylee Jean Brown has never gotten over her first and only love, Jimmie Joe Johnson. So when she discovers the truth about why he really ended things with her all those years before, she sets out to get her man back. And no other thigh-parting female is going to stand in her way. She just has to find a way to make him take notice of her, considering he’d been avoiding her since that day her spell-threatening aunt (yes, she does come from a long line of witches), threatened to place his man-parts in a jar on her windowsill. Avoiding Baylee Jean Brown in a town the size of Possum Hollow is hard enough, but all of the sudden she’s dressing sexy and aiming all that female heat in his direction. He tries to convince her that she’s better off without him, but how can he expect her to listen to reason when his own heart and body refuse to? Now his man-parts are in a whole different kind of danger. Not because her aunt might still carry through with her threat to pickle them, but because he knows no other woman will ever do. "Irreverent, bawdy, laugh out loud funny.

We're All Gonna Die: Musings on the Human Condition

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1387238272     

We’re All Gonna Die: Musings on the Human Condition Now Available in Paperback and Digital eBook

For Immediate Release – Raleigh, NC – Derek Levandowski, offer of the popular 2016 collection Musings of a Human and 2017’s illustrated “children’s book for adults” Pinchy the Creepy Crayfish, has released his latest effort.  The book, which attempts to take a humorous and logical look at death and human mortality is titled We’re All Gonna Die: Musings on the Human Condition. 

“I wanted to tackle a delicate subject,” said Levandowski. “I wanted to sort of take the teeth out of the beast. We live in a world with so much uncertainty, where death is always on our mind. I wanted to take on the subject because it’s something that every single one of us must face, and it’s something that we all need to wrap our minds around.”

Despite the deep subject, Levandowski insists that the book is not religious in nature. It tackles larger subjects such as whether or not belief in a higher power is warranted, and lighter ones – such as the weirdest ways in which people have died.

“I am not a religious man. I consider myself agnostic, so I guess you can say this is written from the agnostic perspective. I wanted to keep it somewhat light but also provide something that will inspire those who read it to think deeply about what they believe,” said Levandowski.

Levandowski says this book is a true follow-up to his popular 2016 book Musings of a Human.

“Really, I feel like this is some of my best work.  A lot of people told me that the chapter (in the first book) that dealt with mortality was their favorite. And I realized there was a lot more to say on the subject.”

We’re All Gonna Die: Musings on the Human Condition is available now on Amazon.com and wherever books are sold.  The initial pricing for the paperback is $9.99, while the Kindle and eBook versions are available for free. “I didn’t write this book to make money,” said Levandowski. “Especially with the tragic events that have happened recently, I wanted to make this available to people who may be struggling with the thought of death. If you have a Kindle, it’s free. Just enjoy it and let it inspire some deep thought.”  For press inquiries, please contact Derek Levandowski at (919) 412-8858.

Between the Pages: Where trials become TRIUMPH!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073VP4S48/      

Nationwide (October 10, 2017) – Nicknamed the young Oprah - entrepreneur, motivational speaker and author, Thaïs Sherell J pens one of her finest works, Between the Pages, during a time when women need it most. Between the Pages examines the plight of women in society and suggests a path for a better tomorrow. To offer a new vantage point, Thaïs accounts the life of HIV/AIDS advocate and artist, Joyce A. McDonald, as she transcends from a life of low self-esteem, drug abuse, and prostitution to celebrated celebrities and political figures, to a world-celebrated artist, New York State chaplain, and renowned speaker. Recently released to Amazon.com, Between the Pages: Where trials become TRIUMPH! is destined to become the most talked about book in circulation.

Thaïs proclaims, “Throughout many civilizations, women have endured much in silence. They dare not utter a word about their hardship, discomfort, or even abuse. After all, many would argue that women have no voice as they are inferior beings. Therefore, with lips pressed tight, many women scream within and breathe when told. They stifle tears in the darkness - prisoners by memories they dare not share.  So, these women – our mothers, our daughters, and our sisters – walk among us daily. They smile politely when spoken to, parading the outside pages of their existence - those happier moments. Inside however, between the pages, are the darkest lines - lines that should shame society, but rather shames she who endures.”

In order for justice to begin, Thaïs advocates for the allowance for wound healing as “Healing is a needed process if women, and society, are to progress “…because when [a] wound is suffering from infection, the whole process will restart and it will be[come] more complicated.”’ (WoundCareSociety.org, 2015) She believes that in tapering the stories of those who have been victimized, we give more power to those who seek to make victims out of others. So, to repair these women, we must first unbandage their hearts and allow it to be cleaned properly. We must give them a place to kick, rant, and cry; they have every right. For they need to know that they are not alone, but among a newer society that will no longer watch them be stigmatized and victimized. For we can no longer accept the fallacy that God made women lesser than our counterparts; that is a lie passed down throughout the ages. If it were true, He would have never sent the Savior of humanity to be born through a woman.

Leading the movement, Between the Pages: Where trials become TRIUMPH! gives a face to the issue and delves between the pages of Joyce McDonald’s story. Thaïs declares, “There will be much darkness indeed, but more than that, you will learn how wounds are cleaned and how lives can be transformed to the highest degree.”

The Raid on Troy (The Orfeo Saga Book 7)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYK6M2Z/      The Greek raid on Troy is chronicled in the Iliad and the Odyssey. These poems are pillars of ancient literature and continue to be carefully studied. Homer, who lived in the 8th or 7th century BC, is credited as the author. The actual conflict has been dated from 1260-1180 BC or even earlier. The question is, how close is Homer’s account to real history?In the Orfeo Saga volume seven there are some familiar characters from Homer. Their motivations, as well as their history, can be radically different. Memnon is a self-made man and a petty king who craves the fabled gold of Troy. His brother Menas is king of Sparta. They assemble a coalition to sack the city. Telemon, not eager to join the expedition, is moved to act after his daughter Elena is taken. He seizes the city of Mycenae and goes to Troy. Odysees might not be as clever or brave as the man described in Homer, but he joins the expedition out of greed. He soon meets Orfeo’s son, who is in search of his first real adventure. Orfeo is on the Trojan side, and has to face the assembled military might of Greece as well as Odysees cunning plans. The Greeks have Ajax, who they count on to defeat any foe in single combat. Can Telemon - now an old man - defeat the greatest Greek warrior and recover his daughter? The Raid on Troy might not be any closer to real history than the ancient poems, but it does offer insights into what might form the basis of the stories.

Deadly Straits (A Tom Dugan Thriller Book 1)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0057AMO2A/      Three massive terrorist attacks! Three separate locations! All planned to bring the world to its knees! One man can prevent the carnage, but the authorities won't listen. They're too busy trying to kill him.Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) are all around us, hiding in plain sight, if you just know where to look. But when a cabal of international terrorists engineers not one act of terror, but three, part-time 'spook turned CIA scapegoat' Tom Dugan is the only one with a clue.Pursuing a lead on his own and without official authorization earns Dugan a reputation as a loose cannon, a status that quickly morphs into 'person of interest' and then 'wanted fugitive' when the terrorists successfully implicate him in the first bombing.Thus begins a non-stop thrill ride, as Dugan races around the globe in a desperate attempt to prevent the next bombings, just one step ahead of his former colleagues.From London streets to the Singapore docks, to the decks of the tankers that slake the world's thirst for oil, with stops along the way in Panama, Langley, Virginia, and Teheran, Deadly Straits is, in the words of one reviewer, "fast-paced, multilayered and gripping."
