The world was turned upside down by the swift and brutal attack of a dictator known only as Zodiac. Planting flash bombs in every major city across the world, he detonated them simultaneously, sending the survivors into chaos and anarchy.In the wake of the destruction, Zodiac unleashed the dreaded Seekers, a group with the ability to radiate an aura of intense fear, which would complete the enslavement and extermination of humanity.A former vigilante, turned government super soldier experiment, emerges from his self-imposed exile to challenge the new status quo. Can Vincent Black, with his makeshift team of unlikely allies, overcome the demons of his past to help preserve the future of humanity?Author Mike Saxton resides in Vernon, Connecticut, where he works as an independent consultant for Information Technology. This book is the first of three in the 7 Scorpions series.

 

The war against the Grand Army raged for over a year and a half. Despite their valiant efforts, the rebels of Militia 28 are losing. With dwindling supplies and eroding hope, they have one last chance. The recent discovery of a weapon long thought lost rekindles their ambitions of eventual victory. If only they can get to it before Night Viper’s past comes back to destroy them. With his massive Ziggurat almost complete, the dictator Zodiac is poised to unleash his “final solution” upon the shattered remnants of humanity. The pawns are maneuvered into place and secrets will be revealed that will change the face of the rebellion forever. Who is Zodiac? What was the purpose of Project Scorpion? Most important, will the war ever end? 7 Scorpions: Revolution is the sequel to the award winning 7 Scorpions: Rebellion.

1 The Accidental Bride

 

Shay Brandenberger is raising her daughter in Moose Creek, Montana, on her childhood ranch, nestled against the Yellowstone River. Despite the hard work, she can't seem to keep her head above water-and now the bank is threatening to foreclose. She prays for a miracle, but the answer she receives is anything but expected.

Having agreed to play the bride in the Founders' Day wedding reenactment, Shay is mortified to be greeted at the end of the aisle by none other than Travis McCoy, her high-school sweetheart-the man who left her high and dry for fame and fortune on the Texas rodeo circuit.

Then the unthinkable happens. Thanks to a well-meaning busybody and an absentminded preacher, the make-believe vows result in a legal marriage. But before Shay can say annulment, Travis comes up with a crazy proposal. If she refuses his offer, she may lose her home. If she accepts, she may lose her heart.

Shay isn't sure if the recent events are God's will or just a preacher's blunder. Will trusting her heart to the man who once shattered it be the worst mistake of her life? Or could their marriage be the best accident that ever happened?

 

 

Many of us that are not yet married or even those who have always dreamed of their dream wedding in one aspect or another but I don't think that most of us have never thought  we would be married in circumstance  that are out of our own control. That happens to  Shay though an d she has to decided whether or not she should she it as a blessing  or maybe just chalk it up for what it is a accident. 

 

Although, in the Accidental Bride  Denise Hunter is talking about marriage I feel that this book teaches us to  learn how to take things that happen in our lives as little blessing or even big ones. We need to learn how to let God work  in our loves the way that he wants to.

0 UGLee Pen Review

If you are anything like me you are always looking for a pen, there never seems  one to be around when you need one or better yet  when you do find one it's either ourt of ink  or it hurts your hand to write more then a sentence or two.

Well, ladies, gents and lkids alike I was able to review a pen that is so comfortable you will want to write till the cows come home or the pig's fly. It's the UGLee pen.

I have to say that  it honestly lives up to it's name, This pen is not going to win the crown and the USA pageant of pen's . That being said though  it's one of the mmost  comfortable pens that I have written with. All those years in college  I could have used a pen like the UGLee pen. The comfort grip of the pen alone is well worth it!

If you would like to order the UGLee pen go to http://www.ugleepen.com

 

I got the UGLee Pen free for review from http://www.ugleepen.com. to give my honest opionion.

3 Heros & Hounds By Bill Miller

 

 

 

 

Casey is 11 years old and lives with her grandfather on a 200-acre Virginia farm while both parents serve in the military overseas. She loves the farm, and befriends all of the animals including a sneaky red fox that stalks her grandfather's prize chickens. Her best friend is her pony, Monroe, who shares her enthusiasm for adventure. Carly's constant dream is to ride with the Riverdale Hunt Club that passes through her grandfather's property. On one particularly rainy Saturday, Carly watches from her front porch as the finely dressed ladies and gentlemen ride to the hounds. Later in the day, Carly finds out that a young hound named Hampton has become lost and Carly is determined to find him and by so doing endear herself to the hunt's Master; perhaps to be asked to ride Monroe in an upcoming meet. Carly enlists the help of her friend, Freddie, but the adventure is just beginning. Carly, Monroe, Hampton and the red fox have no idea what dangers await them.

 

I just loved Hero and hounds by Bill Miller that I wanted to know what Bill Miller wanted his readers to take away from m Hero and Hounds  So i had him do a blog post for me and this is what Bill miller had to say.

 

 

There are lots of hidden messages in Heroes and Hounds and people are free to read

into these as much as they like. I am never one to preach to the audience. In fact, some of my

reviewers have found messages that I either hadn’t intended or didn’t even realize myself. There

are a few that I would like to point out.

 

First, things aren’t always what they appear to be, whether it’s a person, an animal an

event or an idea. I hope my young readers get this point. That one should never be too quick to

judge before knowing the facts, listening and learning. And that sometimes what one thinks in

the beginning will be a whole lot different when all the information is on the table.

 

Second, I really like the non-verbal communication that goes on between Carly and the

animals and also Carly and Strange Willie. Often times, words can be misleading or they can lead

us astray and it’s often the time that gestures, a nod of the head or even a silent command can be

more to the point. It seems with the internet, television, radio and texting, our natural ability to

communicate on an inner-level is being lost.

 

And last I want the readers to know that helping others is not something you do because

you want to be noticed yourself, or be the most popular or the “hero” in your friend or parent’s

eye. Helping others should come from the heart. In Heroes and Hounds, almost every character

at one time or another is the “hero” of the moment, but it is fleeting and like yesterday’s news

is gone like the wind. Neither Carly nor Hampton set out to be heroes and don’t even realize

it until someone else points it out. Strange Willie doesn’t want to be a hero but it’s something

that lives deep within his soul. Despite his outward appearance he’s got a heart as big as the

Virginia landscape he calls home.

 

And Carly learns the hard way that telling the truth is what really matters especially when

it nearly costs the life of her best friend.

 

I just love that story teachers   the reader how to be a friend to others I highly recommend that parents have the children read Hero and Hounds. Plus it also  takes it readers on a adventure of a lifetime!
