The Jefferson Allegiance: # 2 Nationally Bestselling eBook. I will post an excerpt every Friday. The first book in my Presidential series. The Kennedy Endeavor will out on 14 November 2013
The 4th of July 1826. As Thomas Jefferson lies dying, he gives his part of his Jefferson Cipher to Edgar Allen Poe, with instructions to take the disks to West Point. In Massachusetts, John Adams entrusts his part of the Cipher to Colonel Thayer, the superintendent of the Military Academy. As Thayer rides away, Adams utters his final words: "Thomas Jefferson survives."
In the present, Green Beret Paul Ducharme has been recalled from Afghanistan after the 'accidental' death of his best friend, the son of one of the Philosophers. While Ducharme is visiting his friend's gravesite in Arlington, an old man is executed by a member from the Society of Cincinnati know as the Surgeon, who is seeking to gather all the pieces of the cipher. In a nearby restaurant, former CIA and now Curator at Monticello, Evie Tolliver, waits anxiously for her mentor to arrive, but he's killed by the same assassin at the Zero Milestone. His heart and the Philosopher's head are displayed as a grisly message on top of the stone, echoing Jefferson's famous head-heart letter.
Ducharme and Tolliver, the unknowing heirs to become the next generation of caretakers of the Jefferson Allegiance, team up and must battle the Surgeon to assemble the Cipher and find the Jefferson Allegiance, a document that has kept the balance of power in the United States for over two centuries.
The story is a race back through history and the founding of the country.
This is the first book in a new series: The Presidential Thrillers, each novel based on a historical puzzle left behind by a President.

Eighteen years ago, Logan and Patton Croft's lives were... well, they weren't good. Within the span of a few months, the summer of XX28, Patton killed ten people and lost his brother after his ex-boyfriend went and stabbed him in the neck. Logan found out, and then Patton was told of all that Logan had done and who he himself had murdered back in XX18. Of course, now? That ex-boyfriend was long dead, a knife plunged into his gut, Patton only being left with a bad shoulder and half-fluency in American Sign Language to deal with his Deaf ear. That was all eighteen years ago. The couple had a son now, and their past was truly in the past. But when their soon-to-be seventeen year old son learns about a certain Remy Cafe- a serial killer that lived in their town eighteen years ago- in school, how long is it until everything else that happened before he was born is revealed to him? And what happens when he meets the ghost that had been on his mind one foggy night on the side of the road? But... no, that wouldn't happen. Ghosts aren't real, and Joe Croft was meant to remain in the shadows about his parent's screwed up life forever. ... Well, that last part wouldn't be a lie if his long dead uncle had never gotten involved- but let's just say this uncle may not be exactly who you think he is... •~~~~• BOOK ONE - Mine BOOK TWO - Yours [ BOOK THREE - Ours ] BOOK 3.5 - Theirs TWs: ⚠️Character death, near character death, mentions of character death, background divorce, ghosts, blood, gore, mild sexual humor/references, crying, betrayal, deadnaming of a transgender character, transphobia, homophobia, cursing, caps-locked words, food⚠️ BEGAN: February 14th, 2021 ENDED: June 13th, 2021 This book contains sixty-two chapters.Complete
Presidents, Spies, and Boys, Oh My!
What if you one day fell in love with a boy you weren't supposed to? What if that boy was your employers son? Seventeen year old Ember Rhinehart has been raised to become a CIA operative. Training ever since she could walk, she knows sixteen languages and has black belts in mixed martial arts, karate, and jiu-jitsu. She never knew her parents. Being enrolled into the CIA's top-secret operative development project (called Project N), she was taken from her parents due to the unstable household they ran...or so she is told. She doesn't know much about them. Not even their names. She's trusted the CIA her whole life. The agency sent her to one of their designated foster homes for more agents-in-training enrolled in Project N. Fed her. Protected her. Educated her. Cared for her. But, when Ember is assigned to keep watch on the First Family, she has to deal with so much more than being caught on a mission. With a spoiled teenage daughter and two sons (one of which is addicted to sex and alcohol), the McGallen's aren't the picture-perfect family America believes them to be. But, one day, Ember falls in love with President McGallen's mysterious third son that nobody knew about from a past relationship. He shows up at the White House and is immediately brought into the family, but his appearance is surrounded by scandal that could ruin the McGallen family's campaign for good. With a second election on the horizon, will Ember be able to help the McGallen's clear their name? Or will she lose everything, including McGallen son #3?Complete

The Silver Fighter | ✓
"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends.
