- Right To The Top
1
Right To The Top is the second of two novels of historical fiction based on unique first-hand experience in Port Hope Simpson, Labrador, Newfoundland, Canada that tells the continuing story of Richard Ap Meurig’s action adventures. Join him in his escapades as he seeks to right the wrongs of the past. The underlying lesson in both books is how you can come to terms with something that really bothers you whilst simultaneously gaining great personal satisfaction and benefits along the way. The best of both worlds! Or, looked at in another way, how you can endeavour to resolve a series of coincidences, puzzles, mysteries or most grave, serious issues in such a way that your work will maybe benefit others.(Disclaimer This book is a work of historical fiction and is not to be taken literally. If the reader sees similarities between characters in this work of fiction and people in real life, they should be thought of as merely coincidental.)

- Missed Landing
This book is inspired by the transatlantic solo ballooning/sailing efforts of the 1960s and 1970s. In this alternative history recast at some uncertain future date, the "crossing curse" is still in effect and no one had been successful yet in completing this feat. The three Calvez brothers try to reach Europe as part of fulfilling their parents' dream. However, when success is in their grasp, they disappear in broad daylight never to be heard again. What happened to them is an intensive investigation to separate the myths of family stories with the dark secrets of the elusive truth. A tale of adventure, mystery, daring, and trying to succeed against overwhelming odds.
- Killing Thoreau
Hallett German's tenth and most imaginative book about time travel is out. The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of eight students and two professors shortly after their last class of Organic Synthesis and the Transcendentalist Movement. "The Seminar" was no ordinary class and often reached cult-like fervor. To bring them back, three men decide to go back to Walden Pond to end Thoreau's life. Will they be successful doing so and rewrite history as we know it? Along the way, we learn more about Henry David's Thoreau's life against an unfolding battle between dueling genius inventor-scientists. From start to finish, we are taken on "one heck of a ride" using a dash of history, humor, and romance. A reserved seat to this adventure is waiting for you. Also includes three chapters from Selene Gracham.
