Debut novelist Max Bain propels to the suspense fiction arena with a tour-de-force that will surely take your breath away. Set in fun in the sun Key Largo, Florida, LOSER’S SERENDIPITY is a nail-biting thriller. 
Jack Porter is what most would consider being the luckiest man alive. At age 18, he won $74.3 million in the Florida Lottery, the biggest jackpot in history. Now eight years later, at the ripe age of 26, Porter has amassed a fortune making him one of the richest men in South Florida. Loved by everyone, at least until yesterday, Porter bides his time between a bar he owns and collecting valuable watches. 
Porter has arranged to acquire the first wrist watch ever made—valued at over $18 million—but more than that, the watch is desperately wanted by people who would do anything, including murder, to get to the secret it holds. Porter makes a deal that involves the watch and laundering money for his drug-dealing best friend. With the FBI on his trail, and Russian mobsters wanting him dead, Porter must turn to the people he trusts most—his closest friends. But there’s a traitor among them, and it’s Porter’s mission to uncover who has betrayed him. It’s a race against the clock, and as his life spins out of control, Jack Porter, the winner, has now become a LOSER’S SERENDIPITY.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said to His disciples:  The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few: Pray ye, therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest. (Matthew 9: 37, 38)    Best selling Mystery/Thriller novelist Jeff Pate crosses over to the Christian Fiction genre with Calling of the Twelve, the first installment of an exciting and revealing new series concerning the Great Harvest: The Last-Day Apostles.    Pastor Roger Ingram has all the Lord?s blessings?at least he believes he does. On his way to visit relatives on Thanksgiving Day 1985, Roger?s life changes forever. Dead at the hospital after a car accident, Roger?s spirit journeys beyond the worldly realm where he experiences fascinating revelations. His journey ends at the Throne of God where he comes before the Lord Himself. Confident and bold of his salvation, Roger quickly experiences the terrifying wrath, and also the incredible mercy and grace of God. He learns that he has been chosen to embark on the most important mission mankind has ever witnessed: to prepare the world for the Great Harvest and Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.   Sent back to earth to wait for the mission to begin, Roger?s ministry takes a 180-degree turn, igniting a fire for the truth of the Gospel. Forewarned of future persecution as a result, Roger and his wife Carolyn are commanded by an angel of the Lord to flee their Virginia home to Pilot Mountain, North Carolina where they continue preaching the Truth.  Move forward to April 2003: eighteen years after his incredible near-death experience, and just three days after the unexpected death of his wife, Roger is visited by an angel named Boethos.  Called Bo, the angel was sent to help the pastor gather the remaining eleven last-day apostles. After being given the new name of Stephen, the spirit-filled pastor and spry angel set out on their mission.  Donning the full armor of God, the missionaries begin in New York and travel across the country facing insurmountable forces of Satan?in both spirit and flesh?that will stop at nothing to destroy God?s plan. But Stephen and his growing band of apostles remain steadfast in their mission, despite incredible dangers?only to be delivered from the depths of destruction.   Calling of the Twelve marks the fictional beginning of the end of this age, and the dawning of incredible events to come when the world will witness the omnipotent authority of God. Much like the twelve original disciples, the last-day apostles begin as a band of lost sheep from every conceivable walk of life and generation, but under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, they become the most powerful messengers of God the world has ever seen.

The Last-Day Apostles: Calling of the Twelve

Pate, Jeff

According to island legend, the Judas Bird is a mysterious, seldom-seen resident of Roatán Island that makes itself known to precious few in the first light of pre-dawn. Following each infrequent visit this illusive bird vanishes, with its mournful call never heard in the light of day. To hear the bird is an unusual event, but to actually see it is incredibly rare – an experience that foreshadows change, usually bringing good luck for the observer. 
Until recently Roatán was a little-known Caribbean island but now an evil has descended. A small gang of murdurous, modern day land-pirates abruptly becomes the law, terrorizing the island’s once peaceful population. Francisco Downer, an old man with a mysterious ability to see into the past is about to lose his family’s land to these pirates. To thwart this frightening evil now confronting the Downer family, the old man turns to Todd Wilson, a young, prior Peace Corps volunteer who, during his tour of duty on the island once lived in Francisco’s home. After an absence of five years, Todd returns to find the delicate fabric of the island’s peaceful culture under immediate threat, devastated by a cascade of rapid changes that leave terror and murder in their wake. 
Meanwhile, Colleen Kennit, a young woman residing on a small Scottish island, finds herself living a surrealistic dream, suddenly becoming the heiress of a quiet mountain estate on a tropical island in the western Caribbean she has never heard of. Upon arriving on Roatán, she immediately falls in love with the estate and the local people, but soon she discovers that all is not well. She is trapped as a pawn, wrapped into a dark, diabolical web of greed that threatens her new home. 
Desperately wanting to rid the island of the evil and fear that now grips it, Todd puts a clever but complex plan to work. Guided by the old man’s secret "memories" into the past, Todd uncovers the key to an ancient Spanish legend regarding a secluded cove and the location of a treasure, buried there over three hundred years before. Digging deeper into this incredible mystery, Todd struggles with his growing love for the beautiful Colleen and his crucial mission—one that could potentially cost him his life. 
With his plan seemingly crumbling and a hurricane bearing down on the island, Todd finds himself in a race against time. As everything goes tragically wrong his only hope lies with a belief in his interpretation of the ancient Spanish legend and the faint, mournful call of the illusive Judas Bird. 
The Judas Bird quickly captures its readers, wrapping them in the age-old human dramas of intense greed, murder, and romance. David K. Evans crafts a tight plot with charming prose and gentle glimpses of the turbulent years of the 17th century, a time when the island was the primary rendezvous for the "Brethren of the Coast," the lusty, hard-living buccaneers and pirates sailing the Western Caribbean. Blending the majestic with the mundane and using the intricate characterization of colorful islanders and his knowledge of island dialogue and customs, the author paints a beautiful and exciting portrait of life on a small island that was both isolated and unknown until but a few years ago.
