The Web of Spies

 

Espionage / Thriller

Date Published: 9/17/24

Publisher: FJK-KW Press

 

 

Former SOE operative Luba Haas and MI6 agent Natalie Jenkins secretly enter
Poland in 1948 to meet with a sleeper agent and anti-communist insurgents,
not realizing their mission has been compromised by a mole deep inside
British intelligence. Hunted by both Soviet and Polish security services,
they attempt a harrowing escape, not knowing whom they can trust as they try
to outrun their pursuers.

Inspired by the true events of Poland’s anti-communist insurgency, the
Cambridge Five spy scandal, and a covert British operation to roll back
communism to the borders of the USSR, Operation Nightfall: The Web of Spies
sheds light on a lesser known story of the Cold War and immerses readers
into the shadowy world of spy-versus-spy operations.

The Fortress, Book 1

 

A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller

Date Published: August 29, 2023

 

 

We are the fortress, and the fortress is us.

 

Sim was a teacher in his old life. Now he’s the savior of orphans.

He isn’t their father. God knows he has already failed in that role. But he
is their guide. And the kids? They are his penance. His redemption.

For three years Sim has prepared his orphans for the hard realities of life
after the plague that wiped out most of the global population. Theirs is a
life without laws or creature comforts. He has trained them to forage and
grow their own food, to be vigilant, and to protect themselves and each
other by any means necessary. In building a fortress of brick and mortar,
they’ve become a fortress of flesh and blood.

These allegiances and ideals are put to the test when a man named Zagan,
who believes himself to be on a mission for the devil to bring about the
destruction of civilization’s remains, gathers hundreds of marauders and
confronts Sim and his orphans in a merciless siege.

Will the fortress hold… Or will it collapse under the pressure of
evil?

It’s bigger than Magic Kingdom.

“It’s our fortress, indeed.”

“Is that what we’ll call it?” she asked. “Not a kingdom?”

“A kingdom sounds a lot bigger than what we have here. That we have

here is just a small part of a kingdom. Maybe from here we can build a

kingdom. Anyway, there is an expression I remember from all the reading

I used to do.”

“I like to read too,” Elizabeth said. “Next time we go out we have to find

more books for the library.”

Come Away with Me

Day 1: Let Him

 

The Shulamite: Let him (her invitation, her surrender) smother me with kisses—his Spirit-kiss divine. So kind are your caresses, I drink them in like the sweetest wine! Your presence releases a fragrance so pleasing—over and over poured out. For your lovely name is “Flowing Oil.” No wonder the brides-to-be adore you. Draw me into your heart. We will run away together into the Kings cloud-filled chamber.

The Chorus of Friends: We will remember your love, rejoicing and delighting in you, celebrating your every kiss as better than wine. No wonder righteousness adores you!

The Shulamite: Jerusalem maidens, in the twilight darkness I know I am so unworthy—so in need. (Song of Songs 1:1–5a)

 

In your faith journey with God, you may find yourself burnt out from serving and hearing the same old sermon. Devotion turns into an empty routine—well, this is, after all, what is expected of me. Exhausted from pouring out, you long for a touch, for time away from the pressures and stress—time away from your circumstances, your toil, your suffering, your pain. You wonder, “Is this religious duty or a relationship? Does God really love me? Does He care? Does He see me? Is He even listening? I’m doing all the things I’m supposed to be doing—church attendance, tithing, yada, yada—so why do I feel so crunchy, salty, tired? What’s missing?”

Maybe you remember when you were first saved and accepted Him into your heart. You felt so free, so alive, so loved. I know I did. I felt a thousand invisible bricks fall from me. I love how this book of Songs starts out with a representation of this exact concept. Here we find the Shulamite woman recollecting on her once-upon-a-time relationship with the Lord. As she recants what His love is like, her friends chime in and encourage her with their recollections as well. She tells her friends how she is so over it, so burnt out, so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I can hear her now. “Why am I going around this same mountain again?”

“I feel as dark and dry as the dessert tents of the wandering nomads” (Song of Songs 1:5c). She had lost herself. Maybe she was in a season in life and realized, “This is not what I signed up for. This is not what I was expecting or what I had planned.” Maybe she had broken dreams, broken expectations. Was she depressed, anxious, fearful? She was willing to recognize her need, her longing. Her reminiscing was where we find her. Let Him. She recalls His kindness, His Spirit kisses, and His presence. She has known intimacy with Jesus.

Date Published: November 15, 2024

 

 

Michael has enrolled at The Familiar Training Academy to be paired with the
familiar who’ll be at his side for life. Only, the Academy has chosen
to put him with their problem child. And he’s supposed to teach her
obedience?

Danine hangs out with wild raccoons and has no intention of taking orders.
But Michael makes the bond so sweet, she has to stick around for more. When
a class project gets her lost in a charmed forest, will he find her?

Danine paperback

 

 

EXCERPT

 

For some reason, the administrator was nervous. As a brand-new student,
Michael Bedford should have been the anxious one. After all, he was entering
the Familiar Training Academy as a rank amateur sorcerer. The coursework
would test even the brightest students, and he’d have to take charge
of a familiar.

As of right now, he had no idea what sort of person they’d linked him
to. And not just person. His familiar would also be a shifter… able
to change into an animal. She could be any species at all, and within
minutes of meeting her, he’d have to bond with her physically.

No pressure there, right? Wrong. He was going to have to perform with a
perfect stranger. He’d never had a problem in that area, but this was
different. In fact, he’d been looking forward to it ever since
he’d received the acceptance letter from the Academy. How they got
along now would color the rest of their time together, probably until one of
them died.

“Um.” The administrator cleared his throat. “We’ve
sent folks to find Danine. She should be here any minute.”

“Can you tell me more about her?” Like what kind of creature
he’d be taking to bed as soon as she arrived.

“Danine is… well… special to all of us,” the
administrator said.

“How special?”

“Bear in mind, our selection was based on quantitative measures of
your personality and needs,” the man said. “Highly
scientific.”

Something was definitely off here. The man was dodging Michael’s
questions. Had their measurements paired him with something truly
unpalatable? Maybe a banana slug or dung beetle. Maybe something dangerous
like one of those frogs indigenous people used to make poison for their
darts. If he licked her at the wrong time, he might end up dead. Or stoned
out of his mind.

“Let’s try this another way,” Michael said. “Is she
animal, vegetable, or mineral?”

“Ha-ha. Good one.” The man fidgeted with his pen.
“She’s definitely animal.”

Brother. At least they were narrowing it down. “Mammal or marsupial?
Feline? Canine? Ungulate? She’s not venomous, is she?”

Laughter again, this time high pitched. “Not at all, and she’s
had all her shots.” The man continued to laugh, this time at his own
joke. It hadn’t been all that funny.

“Then, we’re talking mammal,” Michael said.

“I must stress that you are the sorcerer here and she the familiar.
She needs to obey you. Obedience in all things.” Michael had never
expected a woman to obey him. If he was lucky, a woman might agree with him,
but in his experience, trying to boss a woman around was only asking for
trouble.

“Oh, my.” The man checked his watch. “She knew she was
supposed to meet you twenty minutes ago. Where is she?”

“Maybe I should come back at another time.” And miss out on
bonding, at least for now. Damn it. He’d counted on settling into his
rooms here with some really good sex. As long as he didn’t have to do
it with a banana slug.

Finally, a scratching came at the window, like claws against the glass. The
administrator looked in that direction. “Well, here she is
now.”

Michael glanced over to find a raccoon balanced precariously on the
windowsill. It continued to swipe at the glass with its paws. The
administrator got up, went to the window, and opened it with some effort.
The buildings were old here, and no doubt things got stuck.

“Where have you been?” the administrator demanded.
“Bedford has been here for a good fifteen minutes.”

“Twenty,” Michael corrected, although his watch said it was
more like twenty-five. The raccoon sniffed a bit, sampling the air
for… what? Human scent? Michael’s? Raccoon faces didn’t
give much away. Then, it climbed down into the room and approached the chair
next to Michael’s. It left a trail of dirty paw prints all the way
across the floor.

“Danine, this is Michael Bedford, your new master,” the
administrator said.
