Shadows of Tehran: Forged in Conflict:

From Iranian Rebel to American Soldier

“When you find yourself at the gates of Hell, keep walking.” —Churchill 

Raised in Tehran but torn between two worlds, Ricardo’s young life is thrown into chaos when his American father abandons the family just as the Islamic Revolution of 1979 breaks out. As fundamental human rights are washed away in a tide of religious, anti-Western fanaticism, Ricardo’s mother remarries, introducing a stepfather with a dark secret.
At only 14 years old, Ricardo vows to take back what was stolen under the oppressive, authoritarian rule. He quickly becomes a rebel leader, earning himself renown as the Shadow Rider of Tehran. When his name is leaked and an execution order issued, he must flee the only country he has called home. But the fight is not over. Blessed with an indomitable will and unbreakable spirit, Ricardo becomes a US Special Forces soldier, and in a surprising turn of events, lands right back where he started.
Spanning continents and infused with heart-pounding action, Shadows of Tehran is more than just a story of war. It’s an exploration of one man’s refusal to break under abuse, abandonment, and loss—an affirmation that we, not the events in our lives, determine whether to be a victim or survivor. Based on a true story, this is an astonishing tale of resilience, rebellion, and the enduring human spirit—one that will inspire anyone facing their own shadows to keep pushing forward.

EXTINCTION WARRIOR:

One Girl's Round-the-World Quest to Find Her Parents

and Save Endangereds

In this thrilling blend of 'Spy Kids' meets 'Zootopia' with a dash of 'Jurassic Park' intrigue, join clairvoyant 12-year-old Luki Sloan, her arctic fox Mig, and the android Tuk on a quest against the Red Dragon gang to rescue her scientist-detective parents from the clutches of the notorious animal trafficker White Wolf! Set in the year 2155, this inspiring fantasy sheds light on the perils of climate change and the extinction crisis while shining a hopeful light on a seemingly insurmountable situation. Luki's parents are scientist-detectives for World Endangered Animal Police Protection (WEAPP), and go missing while hunting White Wolf and his gang in the Bering Strait. Once Luki activates Tuk, there is only one thing to do—masquerade as traffickers to try and find them and White Wolf. They lie to Luki’s adoptive Indigenous grandparents and set off from their remote home in the Arctic to travel the world, collecting a diverse assortment of endangered animals to entice the Red Dragon leader. They eventually locate White Wolf and gain access to his superyacht where disaster strikes. Their travels take Luki, Tuk and Mig from a cyclone in Tahiti into the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico; they face an attack by an Eagle owl in Russia, a porcupine attack in the Transylvanian Alps, the stinging bites of driver ants in the Serengeti, and the possibility of pirates in the Mozambique Channel before they make their way to White Wolf's superyacht in the Bay of Bengal near Myanmar— where they confront a series of shocking discoveries. As the story unfolds, readers learn about Partula snails, Puerto Rican crested toads, cinereous vultures, African wild dogs, radiated tortoises, pangolins, tarsiers and a variety of other animals while gaining insight into indigenous Arctic culture, diverse environments and acquire a greater understanding of world geography from maps throughout the text. A story for all ages, but an excellent choice for kids ages nine to fourteen, this story weaves real science with a fantastic vision of a future world in which a 12-year-old wrestles with friendship, loneliness, fear, loss and her own strengths.

Le Requin.

   

 Le Requin

Le Requin is a story about two retired brothers, one a former Naval officer and the other a former Engineer, who love the ocean and sailing. After renting a beautiful sailboat in Corpus Christi, Texas, they set out to cross the Gulf of Mexico, sailing and scuba diving along the way. Their ultimate destination is Key West, Florida, where they intend to fish, relax, see the sights, and bask in the South Florida sunshine. Not long after beginning their voyage, they encounter a group of drug smugglers who are using an old submarine and an offshore oil rig supply boat to transport drugs into the United States. The ruthless dictator from a small, Central American country is behind this operation and is not leaving any witnesses to testify against him. When the brother’s sailboat is observed near an abandoned oil derrick being used to help facilitate the drug transfer, the captain of an Off-shore oil rig supply boat destroys it, thinking its occupants are in the boat, he wants to make sure they are on their way to the bottom of the Gulf. Once back at the pier in Galveston, Texas, in an attempt to recover the $1,000,000.00 paid for their efforts, the Central American dictator has his contacts in the US destroy the offshore oil rig supply boat, killing all on board. The boat’s captain survives, only to be killed a short time later and eventually buried in the soft sandy soil outside Galveston.

The two brothers, who were able to make it safely into Galveston, witness the dictator’s two henchmen's recovery of the dead captain and are able to find the money paid to the supply boat's crew. They use this money to help finance the rest of their trip, only to come across the submarine again. This time, they are able to alert the authorities and help prevent the escape of both the submarine and the dictator’s US-based crew.

Corruption was expected from drug cartels, but could it reach even deeper?

Set against the beautiful yet perilous landscapes of South America, Mendacity unfolds as a riveting journey into the dark underbelly of drug trafficking and corruption. Brayden Smith, a resilient US Special Forces operative, leads readers through an intricate web of deception.
