Have the vampires really stopped chasing the Mackies? Robert Mackie
hopes so. After the events in Lajitas, the vampires were more than
happy to let him and the children, Alyson and Jason, leave West
Texas for their home in Pensacola. At least, that's what Robert
believes. He has no idea that Brian, the vampire Jason doused with
holy water in Lajitas, is more interested in payback than
forgiveness. And Brian knows where the Mackies will go next. Robert
has other things on his mind. The men who tried to kill him several
years ago while he was undercover for the DEA are waiting for him
in San Antonio. Running away will only delay the inevitable
showdown and leave the children in potential danger for years to
come. Robert must turn the men's trap against them, and his plan
seems simple enough-especially after having killed dozens of deadly
vampires in the Guadalupe Mountains and another handful in Lajitas.
Meanwhile Vargas, the oldest vampire of all, finds himself alone
and without purpose. Reluctantly, he takes on the task of trying to
stop Brian before his actions bring unwanted awareness among the
breeders that vampires are real. The action comes to a head in San
Antonio, where every exhilarating moment is filled with fight,
flight, and pursuit right through the final chapter.
It was the perfect day to test the recently overhauled engines: an
almost cloudless sky and just a light chop in the Gulf of Mexico.
However, before the run at full throttle could even start, Jeff
Warne, Chuck Hill, and David Michaelson found a not-so-abandoned
cigar boat. They came away rich and terrified, because as long as
the owner Pablo Padilla remained alive, their lives were in danger.
So, they hired someone to hide the treasure and waited for Padilla
to die.
Around the time Padilla's obituary appears in the newspapers
twenty-six years later, Patrick Kingrea stumbles upon a torn piece
of map with "Cave, Ledge above entrance, 3 shares in packs" written
on the back. A circled "Ribbon Falls" on the map is the only clue
he has of where something valuable might be hidden.
After Jeff and Chuck lose interest in pursuing the loot, David
decides to challenge Patrick for full ownership - after Patrick
retrieves the "3 shares in packs."
All Rob wants to do is take Alyson and Jason home. Sixty children
have been freed from the vampire lair in the Guadalupe Mountains of
Texas, and all the vampires in the caves have been killed. The hard
part is finally over. All that's left for Robert Mackie to do is
get his niece and nephew home safely to complete the rescue. After
receiving assurances of safe passage from Lisa Kaes-the de facto
head of the West Texas vampire family who ran the living blood bank
in the Guadalupes-former DEA agent Mackie makes a detour to
Lajitas, Carlos Santiago's hometown. He'll give the old man's
family and the Guardians a full accounting of what happened in the
mountains, and with a final farewell, he and the children will be
on their way east-putting the vampires behind them for good. But
when you're dealing with vampires, nothing is ever that easy.
Unbeknownst to Rob, one of the vampires killed during the rescue
was the father of a dysfunctional family from Detroit...and several
members have traveled all the way to Texas to exact their revenge.
This gripping sequel to Guardians is a genre-bender of exceptional
quality-a paranormal thriller that will leave you wanting more.
Everyone Wants What Patrick Kingrea Has-and They're Willing to
Kill for It
Who else knows about the diamonds? That's the question Patrick
Kingrea wants answered, but not until he hikes out of the Grand
Canyon with the stolen gemstones. The bad guys, however, have other
plans. It's not exactly what Patrick was expecting when he made off
with the diamonds-a treasure born of murder, greed, and sheer luck.
The countless carats were supposed to herald a life of leisure and
ease-not endless paranoia and certain peril. But ill-gotten gains
have ways of catching up to you. Now, Patrick struggles to keep
ahead of the game with his pursuers hot on his trail, and they're
not in the mood to share. With death lurking around every turn,
Patrick enters a world where he can't be sure of anything, and life
revolves around one central question: Who else knows about the
diamonds? The thrilling sequel to Ribbon Falls, this tour de force
follow-up offers even more high-octane adventure and psychological
drama as one man fights off a worthy group of adversaries who don't
know the meaning of playing nicely.
Peace Has Existed Between Humans and Vampires for Centuries... But
Everything Comes to an End. For hundreds of years, Los Guardianes
de la Paz - the Guardians of Peace - have enforced an uneasy truce
between humans and vampires. When vampires kill two Mexicans on the
Rio Grande, everything changes. The vampires must now find a new
place to live - and a reliable, clean food supply. Meanwhile,

mission: ferret out the turncoat who had blown his cover as a
dedicated employee of a notorious East Coast drug lord. Through a
twist of fate, however, his quest for justice ends up putting his
niece and nephew in grave danger. Suddenly, the children are thrown
into the mix of an enormous vampire family in the higher reaches of
the Guadalupe Mountains in West Texas. One of the children there,
13-year-old Greg Pike, is about to find himself the star attraction
in the vampires' version of a fox hunt - unless he can escape
first. Now Carlos Santiago, the eldest of the Guardians, must find
the help he needs to put an end to the violence and set things
right with the world again. But nothing is as it seems, and death
lurks around every corner. Combining elements of the thriller,
mystery, and the occult, Guardians is a fast-paced and thoughtful
look at a collision of cultures both human and otherwise.

A Guide to Resilience: The Second-Greatest Principle in the World
Christian Moore is convinced that each of his readers has a power
hidden within them, something that can get them through any kind of
adversity. The power is resilience, and according to Moore, it's
second only in importance to love.
In "The Resilience Edge," Moore delivers a primer on how anyone can
become more resilient, whether facing financial troubles, health
setbacks, challenges on the job, or virtually any other problem. He
argues that we can all learn how to use these adverse events and
circumstances as potent fuel that helps us overcome life's
hardships.
Moore, a sought-after speaker who addresses over one hundred
conferences and workshops each year, brings the concept of
resilience to life through engaging, real-life stories. His own
experiences, which he shares with brutal honesty, establish him as
a credible guide--one who's had his share of hard knocks but
flourished anyway. He reveals the four sources of resilience and
imparts resilience-building tools readers and organizations can
start using today. The book's ideas are fleshed out with
thought-provoking questions and "resilience boosters" at the end of
each chapter.
Anyone who looks around and sees a chaotic world, full of
increasing instability, mounting business challenges, and narrowing
opportunity, will be heartened by Christian Moore's passion for
helping people tap into the resilience inside.

It is a dark time. For centuries after the first seedships spawned
human civilizations on countless planets, three worlds - the
Triumvirate - reigned supreme. But now the Triumvirate stands on
the brink of collapse after a brutal decades-long war. As empires
crumble, a small group of people make a discovery that could alter
the course of the war and forever change humanity. Hammer of
Amahte, first volume of the Triumvirate Trilogy, introduces a
richly imagined universe on the cusp of change and shows the
personal struggles of men and women trying to keep afloat as tides
of history wash away all they have known.
THEY'VE WAITED DECADES TO GO AFTER BURIED TREASURE. NOW, IT MIGHT
BURY THEM.
On a boat in the Gulf of Mexico in 1977, Jeff, Chuck and David
happened across the scene of a grisly murder and nearly get killed
for their discovery. Yet in a remarkable twist of fate, the men
outsmart their assassin and learn of hidden riches beyond their
imagination. Still, one man stood in the way of their cashing in,
and for decades, what happened in this chance encounter remained a
secret as the men bided their time, waiting for Pablo Padilla to
die. Finally, an obituary in The New York Times means the men can
claim what has remained buried for twenty-six years. But doing so
will be harder than they imagined when an interloper gets wind of
the cache. Now, it's a race against time to put the pieces together
and determine where the riches are stashed. In the process, these
very different men will confront the question of how far they'll go
for money even if it means killing for it. Ribbon Falls reveals
profound insights into the human condition, our darkest urges and
basest needs. Part buried-treasure mystery, part psychological
thriller, it will keep you guessing right up to the thrilling fi
nale.
