New Historical Novel by David Huntley Captivating Tale of Post WWII Espionage

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Death Watch Beetle” by David E. Huntley.

This new book released by Dog Ear Publishing is a thriller set during the Cold War, featuring a young man who finds himself deep in trouble when he accidentally finds a secret message hidden in a hymnal.  Donald Harvey travels internationally as he seeks to determine the meaning behind an encryption that could put his life and the lives of those he knows and loves in danger. 

Donald Harvey is happily occupied as an employee at Trandect Engineering Ltd. in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. Donald, the star of this new novel, entertains himself with his sweetheart, a young Polish immigrant named Alijca, and he skirts the edges of danger with a lucrative black market business. His idyll, however, comes to a sharp halt when Donald unwittingly involves himself in international espionage. Some misplaced apple juice uncovers invisible ink on a stray piece of paper in a hymnal, and Donald quite naturally becomes curious. The strange series of letters is clearly a code, and Donald takes it to a cryptographer friend.

The cryptographer, Roger, is intrigued, and takes it to his contacts at MI6. The agency and their American counterparts in the Air Force brief Donald, and they bring him into their plans to apprehend a Nazi war criminal responsible for the death of thousands, as well as heading up Hitler’s super weapons projects.

 Can Donald uphold his end of the task and bring the notorious criminal to justice? Can he maintain his life as he does it, including his burgeoning romance with the beautiful Alijca, who has her own history of suffering at the hands of Russian and Nazi occupation forces?

“Death Watch Beetle” is an engaging story, creating an authentic narrative. Filled with action, adventure and romance, author David Huntley’s novel becomes an intriguing puzzle for amateur cryptographers and fiction fans alike. Huntley, a survivor of the London Blitz in WWII, now a semi-retired international businessman, lives in Texas with his French wife, Sophie, herself a survivor of Nazi occupation. Huntley has tremendous respect and admiration for the soldiers and sailors of the U.S. and Allied Armed Forces who “helped save Europe from tyranny,”  and has dedicated this book to WWII veterans. Many of their names & service are recorded for posterity in the books’ final pages.

New Memoir Shares Couple’s Journey Spanning Continents And Decades “On The Way Home”; New Book Released By Lenore De Pree

Dog Ear Publishing releases “47 Houses On the Long Journey Home” by Lenore De Pree.

Author Lenore De Pree tells the adventures of her globetrotting family in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Eager to experience life on a deep level, Lenore and her husband, Gordon, choose to move away from the American Midwest and follow their hearts and their curiosity around the world, from Hong Kong to Saudi Arabia and all points in between. 

When Lenore De Pree welcomed her young husband home from Korea, she was eager to begin a normal life together at last. Gordon was happy to be with his wife, but he wasn’t quite ready to settle down to life in America. A seminary graduate, Gordon was drawn toward reaching out and expanding his view of the world. The couple applied for a posting overseas, and after a brief stop in New Mexico, where twins were born, they moved on to Hong Kong, thinking they would be back to live in the U.S. soon. Soon turned out to be twenty years.

It is during those years spent learning Chinese, living in a fishing village on the South China Sea and aboard an ocean-going Chinese junk in a typhoon shelter, that the De Prees find what they have been searching for – a deep sense of what it means to be a human being and a citizen of the world. With the family of four children growing up and needing to be repatriated, the De Prees return from their long Hong Kong sojourn to live in the US.

But after a year and a half in New York studying, the chance for one more deep adventure and a major salary bump to educate their growing family took the De Prees to the Middle East. Challenged by the region’s culture and Persian art, inspired by the desert and the Arabian Gulf, Lenore found she was stretching herself creatively, writing and painting with new inspiration while Gordon taught in the Professional Language center of Aramco oil company. With the coming of the Gulf War, their time abroad came to an end, but they were still casting about for a place that truly felt like home. Would they settle in the city of Lenore’s family, Chicago, or Michigan, where Gordon had grown up, or in a place neither of them had known? How about the mountains of North Carolina? Why not? And so they began a new American adventure, in a place where they could live out what they had learned, on truly American soil.

“47 Houses on the Long Journey Home” invites readers into the lives of a couple that has adventure in their souls, and it reveals the triumphs and hardships that naturally occur over the course of a decades-long family life.

Author Lenore De Pree has published three books in New York with Harper & Row and five in the Midwest, and she alternates between oil painting and writing. She and her husband, Gordon, live in West Jefferson, North Carolina, where they work in an art gallery.

New Fiction Release Latest Installment in Artemus Newton Thrillers by Roger Blakely

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Knight” by Roger Blakely.

Unlikely action hero Artemus Newton is in the midst of yet another action-packed adventure in this new book released by Dog Ear Publishing. Retired from the U.S. Army, Newton is a newly published author who finds himself saving a stranger’s life in the most unlikely of places: during a book signing at his local bookstore.

Retired Army Warrant Officer Artemus Newton, newly published author, is sitting at his lackluster book signing when he sees a shopper accosted by would be-assassins. Relying on his military instincts, Newton quickly defuses the situation, earning the gratitude of the assassins’ target, a wealthy businessman named Dieter Epping. Epping, grateful to Artemus for his quick thinking, extends an invitation to his castle in Austria.  Artemus Newton accepts the all-expenses-paid trip with alacrity, but little does he know that his rest and relaxation will be short-lived.

Unfortunately, Epping’s enemies are still after him, and things quickly come to a head at the castle. Before dinner begins, the guests find themselves under siege. Between the efforts of Artemus and Epping’s butler, Alfred, a former member of the Special Air Service, the small group of terrified people do their best to fight off the mysterious intruders. Can Artemus Newton survive yet another surprise attack, and can he keep the people who are depending upon him safe? “Knight” is a thrilling page turner, and Artemus Newton is not an ordinary action hero; brave, literary and ready to take on any bad guy who crosses his path, Newton’s latest adventure will be eagerly met by fans of the previous adventures in the series.

Author Roger Blakely, an Army Chief Warrant Officer Four, serves with the Army Reserve 88^th Regional Support Command at Fort McCoy, Wis. Blakely has spent his entire adult life serving in the military, and his experience shaped his star character, Artemus Newton.

New Fiction Release by Avery Mann Action-Packed Thriller of Witches and Unlikely Terrorists Set in a Coastal Village of Marin County and Salzburg, Austria

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Angel Landing” by Avery Mann.

This new novel published by Dog Ear Publishing is the story of Angel Landing, a composite Marin coastal community whose newest resident is a retired government agent, Mark Jamison. Seeking respite from his health and marital problems, Mark quickly finds himself embroiled in adventures that threaten everything he has come to accept in his life and career.

Mark Jamison is a former government agent and think tank director, seeking a change in climate to deal with his breathing issues. Angel Landing, a beautiful coastal community in California, seems to be the ideal location for his health and relaxation, and it provides the distance he needs to reassess his longtime marriage to his wife, Sarah. As this new novel reveals, however, this cozy town is anything but restful, and Mark is quickly pulled back into intrigue.

Mark’s neighbors are, to say the least, unusual, and his natural curiosity overcomes his need for relaxation; soon, Mark is targeted by a sect of Wiccans seeking a method of reproduction that does not require the use of males. In the middle of this adventure, the government reenlists its old agent to investigate nuclear devices that they fear might have passed through the Golden Gate. Mark’s nose for trouble lands himself and Sarah into life-threatening danger, and Mark fears this might be his last exploit after all. Will Mark be able to reach his contact to inform her of the potential nuclear crisis? Will it be the final end of male dominance or mutually assured destruction of all? Can Mark and Sarah escape to save themselves and the planet?

“Angel Landing” is a riveting yarn filled with adventure, intrigue, and romance, and a lot of original thinking about some the biggest issues facing the world. Mark Jamison is a man whose inquisitive nature lands him into trouble, and Mark’s propensity for trouble will keep readers wanting more.

Author Avery Mann’s lifelong experience as a think tank director, diplomat and advisor to the government provides him with ample fodder for his fiction work, part of his new series of Mark Jamison adventures.

New Fiction Release Features the Latest Exploits of Two Young Adventurers and Their Mentor; Book by Paul Maguire

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Professor Atlas and the Jewel of Enlightenment” by Paul Maguire.

This new fiction release published by Dog Ear Publishing picks up with Tyler Gerard and Brandon Giles as they embark on a new quest with their mentor, Professor Fielding Atlas.  In this new installment, the two young men must use their brains and the training they received in their prior adventure to retrieve an ancient mystical jewel that could change the life of its holder.

Tyler Gerard and Brandon Giles are not typical 7^th graders.  While their peers spend their days hanging out with friends at the mall, these boys have taken up with renowned explorer Professor Fielding Atlas, ensuring that their lives will never lack adventure again.  Their last exploit sent them to the Middle Ages, but their newest mission is no less action-packed.   Upon their return to 21^st century England, Tyler, Brandon, and Professor Atlas learn that their presence is required in Japan, where they are to reconnect with the wizard Mercastus.  However, as they contemplate how they will make the long trip without any money or means of transportation, they find themselves in peril once again.

Kidnapped by an old enemy, the trio of heroes find themselves en route to a mysterious, but certainly deadly, location.  Soon, the course of events that follows requires them to use their heads to infiltrate the Tiger of Alecto, a terrifying sect of extremists headed by the bloodthirsty Vijay Verma.  Verma has stolen the Jewel of Enlightenment, a powerful amethyst that could wreak destruction upon humanity now that it has fallen into the wrong hands.  With tactical support from the jewel’s most recent owner as well as help from a long-lost friend, the trio set about preventing potential annihilation. Will the three heroes be able to complete their most dangerous quest yet?  Will Vijay Verma and his followers manage to harness the jewel’s magnificent powers for their most horrific goals?

Professor Atlas and the Jewel of Enlightenment is a rip-roaring tale of action and intrigue, with nonstop thrills and narrow escapes.  Tyler and Brandon’s rollercoaster of an adventure will keep readers turning the pages and hoping the tale will never end.  Author Paul Maguire worked on the New York Stock Exchange for more than two decades before deciding to embark upon his lifelong dream of writing. He lives in New York with his wife and three children. This is the second book in Maguire’s Professor Atlas series.
