REVIEWS
Nolcha Fox -
I had some extra time, so I read The Chosen Drone. Here's my review:
The Chosen Drone is a fast-paced, international thriller/fantasy. David, a young man, must not only deal with finding a career and love, but he must also solve the mystery of the case he inherited. I read it in one sitting, and definitely give it five stars!
The Chosen Drone is a story about a young man who unwittingly gets chosen to be the bearer of a case that has mystical powers and connections to a bygone world.
I found this to be fascinating. I would like to get more of this author’s books. Interesting storyline and well-thought-through characters.

CARLOS BELTOWERS
In *Carlos Beltowers,* Eoin McDonald delivers a gripping tale of power, greed, and survival, as the ruthless Beltowers pursues control of the Case, leaving David Chen and a host of dangerous allies and enemies entangled in a high-stakes battle.
Whether it was the tension and anger amongst the mages that night or not, the atmosphere in the windowless room was electrified. As the men prayed and asked for the appearance and instruction from the Angels there was a sharp crack like that from a Bull Whip. Carlos Beltowers was startled he had never heard anything like this before. His face was taut and looked like all the blood had strained from it. He knew he was in the line of fire from his colleagues. Almost immediately there was another loud crack and a crooked strobe-like light emanating from the right corner of the room above the golden altar. The mages looked up and there scuttling about the wall was a distorted figure with limbs like a weathered olive tree, thin and a pasty green in color. The Demon had a long tail and cracked it again across Beltowers back. It stung like the sting of a scorpion and Beltowers reeled and screamed like a woman in childbirth from the impact. As Beltowers lay faint on the floor the officers around him bowed in terror, and when they looked up in fear, eyes wide open and mouths agape they couldn’t believe the manifestation before them. The officers and mages were in a cold sweat as to what to do next, their textbooks hadn’t prepared them for this. With a snarl and hiss, the creature descended to the floor near the curtained

14th October 2022
Carlos Bellowers is a wealthy man. He owns Hotels and bars throughout Manila. He is also an aggressive man and could care less about others. He takes whatever he wants. The Drone, David Chen, is hunted by Carlos and the Triads. Bridgett; she is the only good thing in his life. But she belongs to Michael; Bellowers' son. Will Bridget be able to free herself from Michael and be wife number 3 in Bellowers' life? This is a complex and unwieldy story. The reader must sort through the details. You will finally have things all sorted through when a new tangle of this complex novel appears. Join this unearthly challenge and see if you can determine who is spinning this web.

END OF A NEW BEGINNING - EOIN MCDONALD
End of a New Beginning
War blossomed around every corner of Europe at the beginning of the 1900s.
It was a time of Mystics and Mysticism.
Alexander Drummond arrived in Russel, New Zealand, with his parents; from Dumfries in Scotland. Russel at that time was the Capital City; a raggle-taggle of a place filled with hopefuls, the lost, and the leftovers. In 1896 Alex was 8 years old and orphaned, his mother had died and his father was the victim of Blackbirding.
In 1914 the Great War broke out. The war to end all wars. Alex enlisted in the Navy as a Seaman and soon moved up the ranks to become an officer. It was during this time he took possession of the Case.
Johann Holzel was connected to the administrative side of the Holy See. He was also tied in with the Great Lodge. Holzel knew of the existence of the Case and the origins of its contents. The Roman Catholic Church wanted it back
After the war, Alex met Agnes (his foster parent's caregiver), and they married and had one child. Katy was adventurous and found her husband on a trip to New York.
Alex meet his grandson David Chen when he was in his nineties. At that time he passed the Case on to him. David accepted it as an heirloom of his family and treasured it

About Author: EOIN MCDONALD
I am an adventurer. I have always been an adventurer as long as I can remember. I was always going around the corner to see what was there. Life has taught me to avoid leaping over the fence to see if the grass is better. So I have learned many precautionary tricks, like checking out the surroundings before going head first into any situation.
Anything can be an adventure. Looking into a nearby forest or taking a trip into a Country you have never experienced before, reading fiction books. I have been fortunate to have gone to many places and lived there for a short time and been able to search out the makings of their society while taking in the sights, sounds, food and culture. It has been fun and given rise to my love of writing.
Since I was a child I have loved to write . My imagination is like that. The teacher may not of appreciated this, he only commented on my grammar but I took great pleasure in telling my tales. Sort of an innermost satisfaction.
I hope I can convey to you my love for telling stories, just like I did for my children when they were growing up

The Final Position - Eoin McDonald
Sci-Fi Adventure - AUDIOBOOK
Surfieron is an inhabitable planet in the W26 area of space. It was discovered back in 2017, and it was shown to have signs of liquid water. When the first explorers arrived they found other groups of humanoid species living there. Some were primitive others had technological advancements. Soon settlers arrived with high ideals. They were Onewayers. Since then a thriving community has evolved with people coming from all over the Earth; as Earth disintegrated under meteor showers, the division and dissension of society, and plagues.
Five generations later have we learned anything?
Henriek descended from the great Teratama, the founder and Chief Herdsman of the Suotsuy nation. He knew little about his heritage, because his mother had assimilated into the Celtonic society, and as far he was aware he never knew his father. Growing up wasn't easy in an evolving society.
Thomas Tutanakye took control of the developing country of Gambolina by stealth. He was ambitious and desired to rule supremely. Piece by piece, and bit by bit he shaped the proletariat into a submissive force. That wasn't enough for him, he wanted to be a Divine ruler.
His wife, Jocelin had her own agenda. Bored of a husband who was only interested in his own ego-driven ambition, she slipped into a disposition of satisfying her own desires.

Terrific Read
Aroha's Cowboy is a wonderful read. The author manages to pull the reader into the story right from the start. It’s a love story but more than that, it is a story about human frailties and heartbreak. The Protagonist, Peter, is a complex but vulnerable character. The reader is taken on a journey from the United States to New Zealand, to “Down Under” and eventually returning to the United States. The author’s description is fantastic, you feel like you are there experiencing it all, just like Peter. The pace of the narrative is quick and holds the reader’s interest from beginning to end.

Review by Pamela-Anne Reinert
This book is what science fiction is all about. McDonald causes the reader to be transported to a whole new world. He brings the characters to life, as he penned this amazing story and created his characters. I was entranced by this story. The writing was fast-paced. This book is a real page-turner. You won’t want to put it down, so clear your schedule, get comfortable, and settle in for a treat.
Dan Davidson - R. Marcano
We must never remain silent in the face of bigotry
Society is unchangeable. As decade after decade passes, one thing remains sadly the same, human nature. Modern inventions improve our lives, but many people's behavior stays the same. Bullying, racism, and antisemitism remain firmly in place. This story examines those same behaviors during the decade of the 1950s.
Teenagers were exposed to this daily, and each teen handled it their way. There were victims and villains: the helpless and the heroes. "So Gently Goes the Hummingbird" will do everything possible to break your heart and joyfully heal it. It's a story that will bring tears to your eyes and remind you, no matter what your age, of your first love and the wonderful feeling it gave you.

Author Interview with Dan Davidson
D. Davidson was born in New Jersey. In his early years, he grew up in Sunnyside, Queens, N.Y., and attended P.S. 150. Dan moved to Long Island in 1955 (the year the Brooklyn Dodgers finally won a World Series). He enjoyed his teenage years growing up in the small town of Farmingville. After high school, at age 17, Dan enlisted in the United States Air Force. He met his co-author, R. Marcano, while stationed in South Korea in 1963. After returning home, their lives moved in different directions. By chance, they found each other again via the Internet and met in Las Vegas in the summer of 2012. After going down memory lane, they wrote the book "Butterfly Wish." Although it's a work of fiction, it's based loosely on some incidents they encountered or heard about while serving in South Korea. They pull no punches in telling the story. It is brutally honest but not intended to be offensive to anyone. D. Davidson has been writing stories for years as screenplays "a tough industry to crack." He decided to turn some of his scripts into novels. He and his co-author write primarily historical fiction because they believe understanding history makes us all wiser and better human beings. The second novel, 'Twice Upon a Time," is a paranormal narrative about time travel and going back to the past. Their third book, "Soul of Jubie Walker," is a Paranormal/Reincarnation story, and their newest novel, "So Gently Goes the Hummingbird," is a coming-of-age story about teenagers in the 1950s. There are several more historical novels on the horizon. Dan and Rich look forward to sharing many other great stories with you. Presently D. Davidson resides in San Tan Valley, Arizona, with his wife of fifty-seven years, Kathy. The couple has three sons, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

THE IMMIGRANTS WIFE - J B HARRIS
"The Immigrant's Wife is a vivid and haunting novel told with great precision and heart. You can't help but root for Charles and Anna, two star-crossed strivers making their way in an unforgiving world. JB Harris has written a transporting debut." —Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men
Not all men who abandon their families are scoundrels. A story of love and perseverance set when consumption ravaged America. Anna Patrinos is deserted by her husband. What she doesn’t know is he anonymously exiled to a TB sanatorium to protect her and their unborn baby from the deadly disease and the ruinous cost of his care. Anna’s battle with ostracism, starvation and assault to keep herself and her child alive interweaves with Charles’ fight to survive and return home to his family, which is complicated by his one night of indiscretion. Reunited, Anna and Charles confront what it means to belong and whether love is enough to heal their devastated lives and start anew. Harrowing but ultimately hopeful, The Immigrant’s Wife is a compelling story of self-sacrifice, resilience and devotion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J B Harris is happily married to her husband of 27 years, mom to three teenagers and two rescue dogs. She loves books, chocolate, wine, and traveling. A graduate of Emerson College's MFA program, she went on to teach fiction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels before publishing her short fiction in such publications as Boston Literary Journal, The Beacon Street Review, Puckerbrush Review, and Grasslimb. She was recently named a finalist in both the 2022 Hal Prize in Fiction and the WOW Spring 22 Flash Fiction Contest. The Immigrant's Wife is her debut novel and is based on a family history mystery that she promised her grandmother she would look into. Although The Immigrant's Wife is very loosely based on what information she could find, it is completely fictional. Still, she regrets that neither her grandmother nor her father survived to read it. Jennifer is currently working on her second novel touted as Still Alice meets Olive Kitteridge.
