Author Dave Young

Dave Young has survived his fair share of violent attacks, including witnessing a home invasion first-hand as a teenager when two burglars broke into his home. Fortunately, his family was okay, but the terrifying experience motivated him to dedicate the rest of his life to helping others survive life’s dangers. Now a seasoned veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and police force, Dave has packed this book with everything he’s seen and learned about home invasions. This life-saving information will turn chilling “what-if ” scenarios into planned strategies to protect your loved ones and belongings from any threat.

Dave uses practical, everyday language to help you view your home from a criminal’s perspective, identify weak spots in your defense and correct them―effectively scratching your home off their target list. He uses real-life examples to teach how to recognize a threat scouting your neighborhood or home. Plus you’ll get detailed instructions on using unconventional weapons of opportunity placed smartly throughout the home and so much more. This book is for everyone―whether you own a firearm or not― because in reality, you can’t depend on a gun to save you in every situation. What will truly keep you safe is a better sense of awareness, the ability to recognize danger and the knowledge of what to do when you can’t avoid it, all of which you’ll learn here. Don’t let another day go by when your family could be at risk―start your proactive family defense strategy today.

book_cover_regular
WINNER OF THE 2016 READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARD IN FICTION-DRAMA
WINNER OF THE 2016 PACIFIC BOOK AWARD FOR CRIME FICTION

Say good-bye to the era of godfathers. The Chimera Group has put a new face on organized crime.

Mob boss Bernie Banks and his associates—John, Ben, and Jerome—differ from your ordinary Sicilian and Irish mob families. Two white, two black, they style themselves after the Rude Boy culture made popular in Jamaica.

Operating as a shell investment company supported by illegal activities, the Chimera Group hopes to become as powerful as other crime families and gain respect from the Cosa Nostra. Bernie, a war veteran of Jewish and Greek descent, begins his business in his apartment and grows it into a multimillion-dollar empire. He and his crew resemble a more sophisticated subculture of urban street gangsters with their Ray-Ban sunglasses, loafers, and debonair style. But they want fear and admiration.
Their efforts draw the attention of the rival Ambrosino family, and they face internal strife when one of the associates begins dating a former Playboy Club waitress who wants in on the group.

Will they make it to the top, or will they fall?

BunnyWine:

book_jacket__regular
John LeBlanc’s ready to end his lawbreaking ways, but he can’t escape the reach of the crime family he used to lead.

Victoria Bolton’s back with BunnyWine, the sequel to Rude Boy USA. Bolton revisits John and the murderous Chimera group as its members leave more bodies in their wake.

John, who creates a wine based off of Playboy Club Celia “Bunny” Jones’s rise to crescendo, moves to Jamaica and marries Bunny after their company becomes successful. He gives up his life as a mob boss to become a respectable businessman and market BunnyWine as Bunny adjusts to not getting the life of a gangster’s wife she was expecting.

John may be gone but he’s not forgotten, and ambitious criminal prosecutor Mario Pasquale, whose goal is to rid New York City of the mob, strikes a deal with jailed Chimera member Ben Berardi to let him out of jail in exchange for any information he can get on John. But when Ben falls into old and dangerous habits, the body count starts to rise.

Can John and Bunny escape the life they used to live?

The Tide is High:

cover4_brighter_jpeg
In this third installment of Victoria Bolton’s Rude Boy USA series, we rejoin John and Bunny LeBlanc upon their return to his hometown of New York City, where John has big plans on the political scene. The Chimera group has been resurrected with John at its head, and the Dixon-Rhodos Foundation is alive and well.

However, among those who dare stand in the way of the infamous John LeBlanc and his friends is the prosecutor who tried John for murder and lost—Mario Pasquale. Mario, John’s opponent in the race to become mayor of New York, realizes the public has taken a shine to John—to an extent Mario hadn’t anticipated. In light of this disturbing development, Mario decides to fight a little dirty. 

In a quietly engineered backroom deal, he enlists the help of up-and-coming journalist Paul Aaron, an ambitious man seeking to build his professional reputation on exposing the criminal underpinnings of the Chimera group. After all, who would want a former mobster for mayor?

Then again—crossing John could cost the duo much more than an election and a sensational news scoop. Is it worth the risk?

Where do you turn when there’s no one left to trust…? 

At sleepy Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, the Commanding General’s wife Bunny Harris has been murdered, her head decapitated, and the Arabic word for “dust” scrawled in blood over the bed. 

Jack Garrett, a Los Angeles lawyer and former special ops soldier who is grieving after the recent death of his wife, starts working on the case with Cameron Wells, a beautiful, ambitious attorney who began her career in military intelligence. 

Frank O’Connor is charged with the rape and murder of Bunny. 

He denies the charges, but admits that they did have an affair. 

O’Connor requests that Garrett defend him. 

The CIA brings in Phillip Rubie and his daughter Simone, who kidnap Garrett’s son and then release him with a message to Garrett to back off the case. 

Evidence points to the General’s involvement in war crimes, killing Iraqi POWs with a nerve agent called “dust.” 

When a reporter tells Garrett that he believes Bunny was killed with this same nerve agent, her body is exhumed and she melts out of her casket… 

During the trial, the prosecutor receives a CD showing Bunny and O’Connor at an S and M club, where O’Connor appears to cut off her head with a machete. 

O’Connor is offered a deal, but refuses, citing his innocence once more, meanwhile Simone believes she has evidence of O’Connor’s innocence. 

With everyone harboring dark secrets, Garrett isn’t sure who he can trust. 

And when his son makes a shocking discovery, the case, and Garrett’s entire life, are turned upside down.

Black History Month Paperback Release: Black Ice by John Gallagher and Val James

February 8, 2017-

51jqcnoinl

Title:  Black Ice: The Val James Story

Author: Val James and John Gallagher

Genre: Non-Fiction/Sports Bio/Hockey

Format: Paperback Release

Publisher: ECW Press

Publication Date:  January 10, 2017

Synopsis:

Val James became the first African American player in the NHL when he took to the ice with the Buffalo Sabres in 1982, and in 1987 he became the first black player of any nationality to skate for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Born in central Florida, James grew up on Long Island and received his first pair of skates for his 13th birthday. At 16, James left home to play in Canada, where he was the only black person in junior and, often, in the whole town. While popular for his tough play and winning personality, the teenager faced racist taunts at opposing arenas, and the prejudice continued at all levels of the game. In his two NHL stints, James defined himself as a smart team player and opponent, known for his pugilistic skills.

Black Ice is the untold story of a trail-blazing athlete who endured and overcame discrimination to realize his dreams and become an inspiration for future generations.

As featured in a Fox News Black History Month documentary, on NHL.com, NPR’s Morning Edition, ESPN’s Olbermann, and in Newsday, the L.A. Times, and the New York Times, Black Iceis the untold story of a trail-blazing athlete who endured and overcame discrimination to realize his dreams and become an inspiration for future generations. This edition includes a new afterword that explores James’s legacy.

Review

“Val James’ story is compelling, and surprisingly, not widely known. It’s a story that deserves to be told and appreciated. And now, here it is.” ― Bob Costas, broadcaster for NBC and MLBN

“Black Ice is an engaging read that sheds some important light on the subject of racism in hockey. James is an entertaining narrator, and his story is certainly one worth spending some time with.” ― Winnipeg Free Press

“James may have been the first African American to play in the NHL, but that’s just a small part of his fascinating story.” ― PuckJunk.com

About Richard Marcello:  

img_4294
Rich is a poet, an accomplished songwriter and musician, a creative writing teacher at Seven Bridges’ Writer Collaborative, and the author of three novels, The Color of Home, The Big Wide Calm, and the forthcoming, The Beauty of the Fall, due out in 2016. Previously, he enjoyed a successful career as a technology executive, managing several multi-billion dollar businesses for Fortune 500 companies.

The Color of Home was published in 2013 by Langdon Street Press, and melds together honest generative dialogue, poetic sensory detail, and “unforgettable characters who seem to know the complete song catalog of Lennon or Cohen.” The Big Wide Calm was published in 2014, also by Langdon Street Press. The US Review of Books stated, “Marcello’s novel has a lot going for it. Well-written, thought-provoking, and filled with flawed characters, it meets all of the basic requirements of best-of-show in the literary fiction category.” The Beauty of the Fall will be published in 2016. Faulkner Award Winner Mark Spencer commented, “Few novels are as intelligent and relevant as The Beauty of the Fall. Almost none is as eloquent, compelling, heartbreaking, and ultimately, uplifting.”

As anyone who has read Rich’s work can tell you, his books deal with life’s big questions: love, loss, creativity, community, aging, self-discovery. His novels are rich with characters and ideas, crafted by a natural storyteller, with the eye and the ear of a poet.

For Rich, writing and art making is about connection, or as he says, about making a difference to a least one other person in the world, something he has clearly achieved many times over, both as an artist, a mentor, and a teacher.

Rich lives in Massachusetts on a lake with his family and two Newfoundlands, Ani and Shaman. He is currently working on his fourth novel, The Latecomers.
