With rising cost of health care and medications Fall of The Citizens left me chilled to the bone. A fantastic psychological thriller." -- Sherri A. Wilkinson, Amazon reviewer

They set the price at $60,000 per shot, putting the vaccine out of the reach of all but the wealthiest of Americans.

He sets to work at gathering a talented, highly motivated group he calls "The Citizens" and tasks them with recruiting all those who feel like the world stopped being on their side a long time ago. Together they record a message to the American people with Max's moving words - "I refuse to be your slave. I refuse to let you distract me with fear and promise me a tomorrow that will never come. I refuse to let you drain me of hope so that I am docile, broken and clinging to the absolute minimum. I refuse to live my life as a reaction to your choices."

The Storm Without (the first Doug Michie crime thriller), by Tony Black. (Still free?)From the author of six critically-acclaimed crime novels comes this 170-page novella. Yours free today!
"A gripping, riveting read which is wonderfully written, you can understand why Tony Black is deserving of the accolades he has garnered. And I think I fell a little bit in love with the poetry-quoting Michie, hard on the outside but softer on the inside than you might think thanks to his narration. I really look forward to more." -- KTK, Amazon reviewer
Still recovering from the harrowing case that ended his police career, Doug Michie returns to his boyhood home of Ayr on Scotland's wind-scarred west coast. He hopes to rebuild his shattered life, get over the recent failure of his marriage and shed his demons, but the years have changed the birthplace of the poet Robert Burns.
When Doug meets an old school-days flame, Lyn, he feels his past may offer the salvation of a future. But Lyn's son has been accused of murder and she begs Doug to find the truth.
Soon Doug is tangled in a complicated crimeweb of corrupt politicians, frightened journalists and a police force in cahoots with criminals. As he uncovers illicit smuggling activities at the town's port and falls firmly on the wrong side of eastern European ganglords, the problems he left behind in Ulster are now the least of his worries. Only Burns' philosophical musings offer Doug some shelter as he wanders the streets of Auld Ayr battling The Storm Without.

After a toxic marriage Sarah has run off leaving Viola in need of a store keeper. She offers her services and returns to the coast. That's when things get really weird. It seems there's much more to mermaid legend than shiny scales and pretty girls. Only one thing is certain on Tippany Ridge - if you're sighted as a mermaid, well, then you're definitely dead.

Unexpected trials will always be a part of life - a lost set of keys, the stress of a botched work assignment, or the heartache of a full-blown health or relationship crisis. If we can accept that it is unrealistic to deny or run away from life's inevitable challenges, we're left with the only question that really matters, how we will choose to view adversity - obstacle or opportunity.
Try to imagine for a moment what it could mean to the quality of your life, if you were able to redefine your view of adversity - from the perspective of an unfortunate victim, to that of an empowered individual, confident in your ability create your own life experience? This is the power of resilience, the characteristics that help us deal with sudden and unexpected obstacles, as well as those we anticipate and cannot avoid.
The good news is studies show that we all have at least some natural resilience characteristics, however - much like unused muscle - if we don't exercise and strengthen these skills, eventually they become weak and far less resistant.
You don't need to be facing a major change or obstacles in your life to decide you want to become stronger and more confident. When we make the choice to not be defined by adversity, to look at all experiences as stepping stones for growth and greater long-term resilience, we are able to approach life on a whole new level, and in the process realign ourselves with what is really important in our lives.
Stepping Stones to Greater Resilience will help you identify the areas that need attention, and show you the way to cultivate greater resilience in life than you ever thought possible.
