Book Description
Propulsive, compelling, and told with unparalleled realism, The Callsign brings readers new insight into the origins of Pike Logan and the Taskforce as they execute the first Omega operation in a relentless and action-packed short story. Commissioned at the highest level of the U.S. government, and designed to operate outside the bounds of U.S. law, a new counter-terrorist unit known as the Taskforce has just been formed, but not fully tested. Until now. Pike Logan has been given a team of operators drawn from the CIA’s National Clandestine Service and the military’s Special Operations Forces without any say in selecting the men on which he must depend. While executing a full mission profile exercise on U.S. soil, a target of opportunity appears before the Taskforce is deemed mission capable. Forced to execute, Pike and his team are sent to Yemen to track their first real target. The future of the Taskforce depends on their success, but when Pike is challenged by one of his own, their clear-cut mission teeters on the brink of disaster. The price of failure will reverberate much deeper than the loss of the target—straight into the presidency itself. Includes an excerpt of the Pike Logan novel, The Forgotten Soldier.

Weaving her way through the glamorous world of upper-crust Manhattan society, Yelena Vega seems to have everything any young socialite could wish for. Internationally acclaimed as a prodigy musician, she is surrounded by adoring fans and a doting family of overprotective males. But all fairy tales have secrets and horrors behind their picture-perfect facade. When the family secrets turn too dangerous, former gun-for-hire Daniel Cruz is brought in as Yelena's bodyguard. The professional relationship spans more than a decade, and Daniel eventually becomes much more to Yelena than just hired muscle. Can he withstand the painful secrets from his own past and protect both her life and her heart? Surrounded by the pressure-filled world of musical fame as the inheritress of the richest family in America, Yelena gradually finds that there are horrifying secrets even she does not know.

Book Description
Yeshua or Yahshua is the Hebrew form of the name JESUS. Yeshua means the LORD's salvation the perfect name for the Savior. Yeshua took our hard yoke of sin on Himself and He placed a soft yoke of devotion on us. He said, "Take my yoke upon you ... and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy." Real peace is linked to a yoke. To discover the secret of this paradox, one has to study Yeshua's life. He has relieved millions of their burdens and inspired them with new energy. The Yoke of Yeshua harmonizes the four gospels into one story. It shows how events followed each other and then it explains their meaning in context.
