What people are saying about THE 9TH HOUR:
"Tense action and complex psychological motivation is woven into a wonderfully satisfying novel." ~ Kristin Gleeson - Author of the Celtic Knot Series
"An intense, superbly crafted reading experience. I guarantee you'll go on reading well past the ninth hour." ~ Jim Pingelly, Kingdom Writing Solutions
The 9th Hour cometh! Despite - or because of - knowing so many writers, I still feel the magic when a book comes out that makes the hairs on my arm tingle because I think it's GOOD. I read MANY books and I only review and recommend those I really like, so of course this shows my taste as a reader. If you like modern detectives, think Ian Rankin set in New Mexico, you'll love this. A new detective walks the mean streets of my bookshelves - Temeke. The 13th Sign Publishing.
"Gripping, innovative, brutal and yet redemptive. This is crime fiction with a serrated edge and a brilliant sheen." ~ Marco Storey, author and speaker
"An assured page-turner that leads inexorably to a satisfying conclusion. I can't wait for Detective Temeke Book 2!" ~Jean Gill - The Troubadours Quartet

ULTIMATE ENDING!
During an age of dwindling energy resources and greedy corporate expansion, Earth receives a warning from a not too distant star system: We are aware of your existence. We will end you.
The colossal mining vessel Ambition undergoes a militarized refit and is sent to confront the alien threat of Pegasi 51. Catastrophic events along the way stretch a seventy year voyage into a seven century odyssey. All communication to and from home has been severed, and the civilization waiting ahead has remained ominously silent.
Captain Ly Sulafat, Ambition's 30th - and likely last - commander, leads this final generation of weary travelers into a hostile star system, ill-prepared, and far too inexperienced to confront what awaits them.
The seven hundred year journey has ended. Time for war.

As the last descendant of a long line of witches, Lauren is the victim of a four hundred year old curse. Her life depends on her surviving a challenge set down by three damned souls, a challenge that will take her to hell and back. Literally. And Satan doesn't do tea and scones!

"Stay away from her, Nathan. That girl isn't good for you."

"Yes," I snapped. "I wouldn't die for her."
Chris turned around to stare at me, her mouth hanging open.

Through all of her efforts, she had come pretty close to perfection, if she didn’t say so herself. She had fled the cold winters in New York for sunny California, found a job that she loved and lived in the same town as her sister, and best friend, Kate. The one area of perfection that had always eluded her was her love life. No matter how hard she tried, she always ended up with a broken heart.

When Louis mentioned marriage before Sydney even knew his favorite color, she was more than tempted to reach for her running shoes. Will she be able to put her fears aside to follow her heart?
