The Hunt for the Peggy C by John Winn Miller


About Featured Book: The Hunt for the Peggy C by John Winn Miller

This gripping novel full of action and suspense, a semifinalist in the Clive Cussler Adventure Writers Competition, introduces Captain Jake Rogers, a hardened smuggler transporting contraband through the U-boat-infested waters of the North Atlantic in the beginning phases of World War II. Rumored to have fled America because of a murder before beginning his career at sea, Rogers takes on cargo few other captains would be willing to carry—if the price is right.

But after witnessing the oppression of Jews in Amsterdam, Rogers agrees to take on the most dangerous cargo he has ever transported: a Jewish family fleeing Nazi persecution. Pursued by Oberleutnant Viktor Brauer, a brutal U-boat captain who will stop at nothing to send Rogers and his crew to the bottom of the ocean, the normally aloof Rogers finds himself drawn in by the family’s warmth and faith, and increasingly willing to do whatever it takes to get them to safety.

A thrilling, beautifully written story of adventure and compassion in the time of an unforgiving European world war, “The Hunt for The Peggy C” not only creates a fascinating, believable, and visual world of its own but keeps readers on the edge of their seats from page one through the shocking, unpredictable end.

The Diseased by SM Thomas

About The Diseased by SM Thomas

What would you do if you woke up to the question “Where is your husband?”

As you lay in a hospital bed, unsure of how you got there, would panic or denial hold you in that moment? And what if the people asking you that question repeatedly were Government Agents who should have no interest in your missing spouse?

All of this is faced by Paige Hanson when she wakes up in hospital after an accident she can’t remember. Her husband Leo hasn’t been seen since the night before and try as she might, she can’t remember their last conversation.

Having had a photographic memory since early childhood, Paige now finds her memories hazy, unpredictable and confusing, and yet is willing to do whatever it takes to find Leo and bring him home – even if that means turning to the one person she swore never to rely on. All she has to go on is her gut instincts and the last two words that Leo secretly left behind.

But as Paige comes to terms with what is happening around her, she is suspicious of those interested in Leo and his disappearance.
In order to protect Leo, Paige is determined to uncover the truth and find out why this message had to be hidden. But once she starts on this murky road, is it too late to turn back or will it change the course of her life forever?
