Finalist in the international Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2015. Two teens are caught in the cross hairs when they discover a government conspiracy that could destroy their country in this timely, fast-paced thriller. Eighteen-year-old Tommy Bailey had no idea his dad was a Resistance operative who'd discovered an explosive secret: the government orchestrates terrorist attacks to keep its citizens frightened and compliant. After his parents perish in a car accident, both the government and the Resistance assume Tommy will continue his father's crusade, and the hunt for him is on.But which side will get to him first? Tommy would have been easier to neutralize if he'd followed the rules, but he defied them for a girl... Tommy's dad wasn't able to expose the government's treachery before the next bogus attack, so Tommy, like everyone else, believes he has to take the Counteractive System of Defense antidote to protect himself from the toxins in the atmosphere. But when he defies the safety protocol during the "emergency" to come to the aid of Careen, an intriguing and complicated college student, together they discover that the Office of Civilian Safety and Defense, which is supposed to protect the people, is actually behind the attacks. Can Tommy and Careen help the Resistance break the OCSD's grip on the nation?

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Hallmark movies will love this "incredibly compelling" tale of love. (ScreenCraft) "If you love Historical Fiction with a bit of Romance you NEED to read this book!" --Reagan S., Amazon reviewer Fear made him hide. Hope brought him back. A lot has changed in the world in the many decades since Peter, a Holocaust survivor, settled into his new life in America. But meeting Peter, you'd never know it. The same furniture, the same black-and-white TV, the same rotary phone. Hidden away in the same tiny apartment in the same broken-down New Jersey neighborhood, Peter is just fine with the nothingness of his life. And then the dreams begin of his boyhood sweetheart, Mira, clear as the day he last saw her. Right before she disappeared without a trace from the camp at Theresienstadt Ghetto. It's as if she is beckoning him to come find her. Begging Peter to venture out into a world he has hidden from all these years, to save her from a mysterious, dark force threatening to overtake her. And as his dreams become more real, and Mira's danger more imminent, Peter sets out on a most unusual adventure to save her and to re-engage with a world that has passed him by. An old Chinese proverb states that lovers, destined for each other, remain connected through space and time by a red thread. As Peter is led across the globe in search of Mira, he'll finally confront the mysterious force that is closing in on her. "Readers of Cecelia Ahern and Amy Tan will enjoy this book." --Laren R., Amazon reviewer "Incredibly striking. The emotion within these pages is palpable." -- ScreenCraft "[A] a beautifully written, extremely powerful, and heart-rending love story of Holocaust survivor, Peter Ibbetz, and his life of yearning for his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life, Mira Schloss." --Sheila E., Amazon reviewer "A good choice of gift for any Hallmark movie lover!" --Christy H., Amazon reviewer

After her experience being raised under the care of a guardian, Anna vows to move heaven and earth to keep her children from suffering the same fate.

Answering Liberty’s Call: Anna Stone’s Daring Ride to Valley Forge: A Novel

Fidelis Publishing

Since ancient times, people used mills to process grain, and a mill was often the first structure planned and built in a new community. At the close of the American Revolution, it was believed that every village and town in the United States had access to a water-powered mill. 
Hundreds, if not thousands, of mills once dotted the hills and glades of what is now West Virginia. Though the vast majority are gone, towns all over the Mountain State bear the names of the mills that put them on the map. 
History buffs, nature photographers, and outdoor enthusiasts, you are invited to come along on an adventure: hit the Country Roads in search of fifty-three historic water mills built between 1735 and 1976. 
Together, these structures tell the story of West Virginia’s agricultural and industrial past. A few are still in operation. Some are in ruins. Many are preserved in their original state, and still others have taken on roles as private residences, shops, and museums. 
Whether operational or abandoned to decay, the historic mills of West Virginia stand in testament to the ingenuity and independent spirit of those entrepreneurs who were millers, but also bankers, economists, and mechanical engineers. 
This book features over one hundred illustrations, regional and county maps with the mill locations marked, and QR codes that give instant access to driving directions.

The government uses fear to control you. Show no fear, and they will destroy you. Still raw from the death of his parents, eighteen-year-old Tommy Bailey isn't sure if he wants to live—until he meets complex and intriguing Careen. He comes to her aid during a terrorist gas-strike, sharing his last dose of the government-mandated antidote that, they've been told, is key to their survival. Without enough antidote, the teens expect to die. Instead, they discover the terrorist attack wasn't real, and the antidote was never meant to protect them—it was meant to dull their thoughts and make them easy to control. As he and Careen search for the truth, Tommy learns that his parents were operatives in an underground resistance group that's fighting to overthrow the government. The Resistance expects him to continue his parents' crusade. The government's hunting him down. Which side will get to him first?
