happiness.

songs on the Billboard Top Ten. With sold-out concerts everywhere

Unfortunately, all she can think about is her loneliness. But all
of that is about to change when Elia is invited to return to a
house she has spent the last twenty years of her life running away
from. Elia arrives at the House of Pearl, a Victorian home built on

music or at least take a break from her busy career-and soon
encounters a dashing yacht captain named Paul Hamilton. As she
comes to terms with a family history haunted by ghosts and
betrayals, she and Paul begin a passionate affair, fueled by both
the devilish spirits that roam the house and Elia's desperate need
for love. The tragic tale of the house slowly unfolds, and Elia
recounts a story of love and unfaithfulness to Paul that only fuels
the spirits' plans to threaten her newfound happiness. In this
romantic paranormal thriller, two lovers must survive a ghostly
onslaught or else find themselves doomed to become part of the
tragic history that lurks in the shadows of The House of Pearl.
Author John Barber brings adventure to every bookshelf as he
releases through Xlibris the first installment of the Mole Trilogy.
Readers are taken to the most dangerous zones of Vietnam as they
follow one man's exploits in First Mole. Captain John Baker aka The
Mole has put himself in danger. After deploying himself to operate
alone as a forward observer, he has been the target of all the
local Vietcong units. The attention to detail of all his movements
is very critical to his continued existence. A young man in his
twenties, Baker has with him a good record of commendable
achievements while in the military. He has exterminated a good
number of Vietcong units with his artillery and kept almost all of
his allied units from running into ambushes during the last six
months. He got his nickname not by the many impressive feats he has
but by his habit of digging a six-foot-long foxhole shelter to
sleep in every night, and of course, his cunning and alertness even
in the dark. Now, all by himself in his chosen special mission,
Capt. Baker believes what he is risking his life for will atone his
shame and guilt from a "friendly fire" incident that resulted in
the deaths of two of his soldiers. Amid threats, traps, and
espionage, he takes on the challenge only to discover that what
appears to be a highly complicated task is just in fact the
beginning of a more tumultuous ride. Propelled with humor, action,
and romance, First Mole will leave readers entertained from the
first to the very last page. For more information on this book,
