Book Description
Jon Catlett, a misanthropic literary obsessive, is facing the loss of the only thing in the world he loves; his used bookstore, a haven for fellow weirdos, outcasts, misunderstood geniuses and malcontents. Jon has several other problems, the least of which are his love affair with a bi-polar femme fatale heiress to a thriving northern steel company or the exponentially growing opiate habit he has developed. When Jon, during a deal gone wrong, accidentally kills a fellow drug addict, getting away with murder turns out to be the least of his worries. The steps he and Paul, the obsessive-compulsive manager of Jon's store, must take to cover up the killing result in the two cornering Louisville's blossoming heroin trade. From West End gangbangers to dirty cops and crusading narcotics detectives, Jon and his unstable partner in crime must dilute their morals and thicken their skin if they are to have any hope of surviving the lucrative but deadly life they've stumbled upon. Praise for THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS: “Poetic, down trodden and nihilistic, Jonathan Ashley treads through parts of the human psyche that others fear for one black tar mind-f**k-ride of a novel.” —Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook “Ashley breaks our hearts, he breaks all the rules and, most importantly, he breaks our expectations of what a simple crime story can be. He shatters it, in fact, leaving readers craving another deadly taste—much like the lost souls in this chilling, amazing story.” —Patrick Wensink, author of Broken Piano for President “We live in a capitalistic society, yes, but nobody said doing business is easy or even enjoyable. Jonathan Ashley makes this point quite well in The Cost of Doing Business. Of course when the business is the heroin trade, the stakes are life and death, but is the suspicion, the betrayal, the plotting and scheming, all that different than what goes on in the corporate world? Louisville bookstore owner Jon Catlett leaves his used volumes of Yeats behind to get into the drug trade and make some real money, and the result is blood-filled mayhem. He never loses his sense of literate irony, though, taking us through a fast, unpredictable novel with equal parts darkness and humor. A very confident debut.” —Scott Adlerberg, author of Spiders and Flies

Book Description
The true story of the U.S. Army’s 240th Assault Helicopter Company and a Green Beret Staff Sergeant's heroic mission to rescue a Special Forces team trapped behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War, from New York Times bestselling author Eric Blehm. On May 2, 1968, a twelve-man Special Forces team covertly infiltrated a small clearing in the jungles of neutral Cambodia—where U.S. forces were forbidden to operate. Their objective, just miles over the Vietnam border, was to collect evidence that proved the North Vietnamese Army was using the Cambodian sanctuary as a major conduit for supplying troops and materiel to the south via the Ho Chi Minh Trail. What the team didn’t know was that they had infiltrated a section of jungle that concealed a major enemy base. Soon they found themselves surrounded by hundreds of NVA, under attack, low on ammunition, stacking the bodies of the dead as cover in a desperate attempt to survive the onslaught. When Special Forces Staff Sergeant Roy Benavidez heard their distress call, he jumped aboard the next helicopter bound for the combat zone. What followed would become legend in the Special Operations community. Flown into the foray of battle by the 240th Assault Helicopter Company, Benavidez jumped from the hovering aircraft, ran nearly 100 yards through withering enemy fire, and--despite being immediately and severely wounded--organized an extraordinary defense and rescue of the Special Forces team. Written with extensive access to family members, surviving members of the 240th Assault Helicopter Company, on-the-ground eye-witness accounts never before published, as well as recently discovered archival, and declassified military records, Blehm has created a riveting narrative both of Roy Benavidez’s life and career, and of the inspiring, almost unbelievable events that defined the brotherhood of the air and ground warriors in an unpopular war halfway around the world. Legend recounts the courage and commitment of those who fought in Vietnam in service of their country, and the story of one of the many unsung heroes of the war.

Book Description
Seven Lives of the Devil's Spawn: From Destruction to Salvation - A True Wild Cat Story provides an inside look at some of the most fascinating cultures in the world, ones that we will never see with the intensity of this wild cat deep hole driller. Michael Francis McMonagle's amazing biography tells the true-life story of a nobody. He's not the president of a country, a sports star or a member of a rock band. Instead, follow along with this humble kiwi (New Zealander) as he details his wild cat drilling career in exotic locales. McMonagle's life in the drilling industry pulls no punches, from seeing the tribal wars in the Papua, New Guinea highlands to crashing a chopper and being only one of two survivors, to living with headhunters and viewing cannibalism firsthand. His death-defying adventures take him from Africa to Antarctica. He was held hostage in the Philippines, where he suffered horrendous abuse and nearly died, and he's met and worked with Osama Bin Laden. Warning: Nothing is held back from this heart-stopping and gritty memoir. Its language may be offensive to some, but the story is unforgettable. Michael Francis McMonagle lives with his wife, Tina, in New Zealand, and is currently writing the sequel. "When I was taken hostage in the Philippines, I thought I was going to die. I told myself if I survived, I'd write my true life story. This I've done." His goal is to live life to the fullest and to have a loving family. http: //SBPRA.com/MichaelFrancisMcMonagle
