JD Middleton, a stressed-out chef, reluctantly embarks on a vacation
offered by The Fantasy Maker. On his application, he’d requested
solitude in a tropical paradise. He’s shocked to be left on a desert
island. It seems he’d have his solitude, but the island, though
tropical, was no paradise. Nothing but ocean, sand, and jungle. No place to
get a beer or a bed. What had he gotten himself into?

When a beautiful woman, Sara Sinclair, appears unexpectedly, how will he
cope? She’s tenacious and has a job to do. They both have secrets but
join forces making good use of their opposing interests and skills as a
romantic relationship builds. Will there be fireworks? When confronted with
life-threatening circumstances, who will survive?

The Fantasy Maker Series, Book 2

 

The Fantasy Maker strikes an agreement with Clay Washington. All he has to
do is escort a young woman around Denver for five days and he will receive
his own fantasy vacation. What’s the catch? He must pretend to be
someone he’s not.

Winn, a gal who’s never left Yuma, Arizona, is thrilled to be the
recipient of a fantasy vacation. She’ll visit a big city and experience snow
for the first time in her life. But when her escort shows up late, then gets
into a fistfight, second thoughts creep in. What had she gotten herself
into? He harbors a phobia; she hides a secret. In spite of their
differences, they cannot deny the passion that ignites as their relationship
deepens.

Her fantasy week almost over, Winn Wahlberg needs to get home for Christmas
… but fate intervenes, more than once.

They journey to a horse rescue near Telluride, Colorado, but their
adventure is soon eclipsed by danger. Is their enemy Mother Nature or
something far more evil?

 Excerpt

 

As JD watched, Ben unfolded, with exaggerated ceremony, a sheet of
glossy-colored paper, cleared his throat, and read the words out loud.
“The Fantasy Maker is Looking for a Few Good Men.” The guys
stared at JD. Apparently, the ball was in his court, but he had no idea what
game they were playing.

Eyebrows raised, JD shook his head and poured himself another beer.
“So? What does this have to do with me?”

Ben explained that his girlfriend had found the advertisement in a travel
magazine and thought of JD and his workaholic ways. Curious, JD was willing
to play along. “Okay, but who is this fantasy maker and what would the
good men be expected to do?

“We don’t know, but we want to find out. There’s a phone
number you can call for more information.” Ben’s enthusiasm had
prank written all over it. “Come on, JD. Make the call. Let’s
check it out.” Three out of four heads nodded their agreement.

Although JD was skeptical, he was also intrigued. Was this a job
application? An escort service? Was what they were doing legal? Could it be
something like the old TV show, Fantasy Island? That would be too good to be
true. His buddies kept egging him on to make the call. When the second
pitcher of beer was empty, Chuck dared him to do it . . .

Sara loved the surprised look on his face. She’d been amazed the
first time she’d rounded the sudden curve of the land and saw this
picturesque ridge of rocks forming a small cliff and overlooking a dark
blue, water-filled cove.

“Come on,” she called impatiently. Not waiting for him, she
began her ascent. The climb wasn’t as difficult as it appeared. JD
could do this easily. His strength and physical fitness was obvious. He
might even enjoy himself, which was her sole purpose for bringing him to
this spot.

He arrived at the top moments after Sara did. They sat gazing at the view
of nothing but blue. Blue water, blue sky … and three dolphins! Could this
day get any better? No doubt about it, he was smiling now. Not at her, but
that was all right. She didn’t need his smile for herself.

Sara stood up ready to have some fun. She hoped he’d watch and follow
her lead. JD tilted his head to the side to look toward a screeching noise
that came from the palm trees to their left. Sara saw him turn back as she
jumped from the cliff. Surfacing, she looked around expecting to see a
splash in the water. The splash never came, but within seconds, JD arrived,
wide-eyed and breathless, at the cove’s edge.

75 million people in this country, or half of the working population, would
change jobs or careers in a heartbeat if given the choice. Are you one of
them?

Why are we so unhappy in our work lives? Do you feel like you are just
trying to survive the daily grind during the week, just so you can get to
the weekend? Is it hard for you just getting out of bed so you can get to a
job that seems like sheer drudgery? How do we find the spark that seems to
be missing in our lives?

We all want more energy and want to be excited about our jobs and the
things we are spending time and energy on, but yet it seems clear that there
is a pervasive lack of enthusiasm, drive or energy in the people around us
at home and in our jobs. People seem to be going about their lives unplugged
and unengaged in the spiritual power and unique energy given to each and
every one of us. Power and energy lie within our unique, God given
passion.

In the second book of the Authentic Self series, Discover Your Passion,
Release Your Power, Dr Cavazos guides us onto the next leg of this exciting
journey forward to our Authentic Self. One critical aspect of this path
towards discovery and fulfillment is the absolute requirement of finding and
releasing the power of passion. In this book, you will:

 

1. Identify the essentials of your unique passion

2. Unlock the power of self-motivation

3. Uncover your own personal drive to thrive

4. Begin to use focus and determination to reach critical goals

5 Harness the skills of goal management for well-being, joy and
fulfillment

6. Find the value, protection and guidance that passion and purpose
bring

7. Learn why millions of people abandon New Years resolutions within 6
weeks

8. Discover the 18 sources of physical and spiritual power available to
each and every one of us

 

Drawing examples from inspiring leaders and people who have been successful
in business, music, science, sports and the arts, Dr. Cavazos will help you
examine your own life and experiences to enlighten you on this captivating
and invigorating trek to releasing the spiritual and physical power that is
bubbling within you, waiting to be released and unleashed.

 

If you truly believe that you have a unique God given purpose, but you are
having a tough time finding that purpose or the energy or drive to fulfill
that purpose, then this is the book for you. There is an exciting,
empowering and spell binding adventure waiting for you that will bring
peace, joy and a sense of fulfillment and well-being that you had no idea
even existed. Discover Your Passion. Release Your Power. You won’t regret
it.

Brave The Wave

The Authentic Self, Book 1

Release Date: April 2019

Publisher: Deaf Dog Publishing

 

Anxious? Stressed? Confused? Looking for Solutions?

As a practicing physician for twenty years, that is exactly the situation
that Johnny Cavazos was in. What stunned and shocked him the most was one
inescapable fact. He didn’t know what he didn’t know.

As he describes it, “The best analogy I can offer is that it’s like taking
your car to the mechanic to replace a faulty fuel pump and he hands you the
keys to a brand new Mercedes Benz and says, “take it, it’s yours.” (That’s
how Elvis used to give away cars.) There is more value here than a new
Mercedes.”

In this poignant and riveting account of his decade long journey of
discovery, you will be entertained while gaining valuable insight to help
you understand and actually appreciate the waves, trials and storms that we
all encounter in our lives.

This inspiring narrative of personal experiences will reveal useful and
practical approaches to help increase joy, clarity, love and personal peace
in your life. This book makes for a fascinating, powerful and uplifting read
that can inspire each of us to reach for heights we never thought
attainable.

With brutal honesty and humor, Johnny uses short vignettes from the medical
world and from the captivating world of near-death experiences to take us on
a journey that is spell binding, powerful and life changing.

Writing in a comfortable and warm style, Johnny takes us on this trip into
spirituality, faith and the near death experience as he unpacks ideas that
will open up an experience of clarity and vision you didn’t even realize
existed.

Brave the Wave will share valuable insights that will have a personal and
powerful impact on every relationship you have, bringing benefits to you and
everyone around you.

Release Date: July 10, 2020

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

THE DARK THAT DWELLS is a debut space opera novel featuring an
unforgettable ensemble cast, planet-hopping across an expansive galaxy on
the brink of war.

The story unfolds through the viewpoints of four characters: SIDNA ORIN, a
mercurial young arcanist, striving to gain the lost knowledge that could
save her people. FALL ARDEN, honorable sword-for-hire, working as a guide on
a dangerous expedition into an unexplored frontier. BAN MORGAN, disgraced
marine wielding high-tech weaponry, chained by remorse and the ghosts of his
past. TIEGER of WESTMARCH, fanatical zealot, empowered with the seemingly
divine technology of his overlord and a starship feared across
generations.

THE DARK THAT DWELLS holds virtual worlds lost in crystal relics, visceral
close-quarters combat, mysteries of the divine and the arcane, companionship
and bittersweet romance, insidious deception, and the looming threat of a
horror who hungers for the souls of mankind.

This story is essential for readers craving robust, character-driven
adventures on fantastic alien worlds, bullet-ridden spaceships barely held
together, and the expansive infinity of space-time itself.

 

 

About the Authors

Matt Digman is exactly one half the creative force behind the epic fantasy
space opera novel, The Dark That Dwells. Born and raised in Arkansas, he
spent his free time studying Star Wars technical manuals, searching for his
next favorite RPG, and watching his Star Trek: TNG VHS tapes until they fell
apart. Basically, he was nerdy when nerdy wasn’t cool. He currently
works as a pediatric emergency medicine physician in Alabama and writes when
he ought to be sleeping.

Ryan Roddy grew up across the southeast, chasing her dream of becoming a
professional actress. Though she eventually traded the stage for a
stethoscope, she never gave up her love for great storytelling—or for
playing dress up as an adult. Now she works as a pediatric emergency
medicine physician to afford her cosplay and Disney obsessions. She loves
the characters she’s written for The Dark That Dwells with her husband
almost as much as she loves him and their four dogs.
