You can find CACHE 72 by clicking on the author name above and navigating to Richard C Haleā€™s Amazon Author page**Interview With The AuthorQ - So, what makes the Jaxon Jenningsā€™ Thriller Mystery Series so special?A ā€“ Jaxonā€™s not your typical hero. Heā€™s flawed, and that makes him entertaining. As a reader, I want to be entertained and thrilled. Iā€™m a fan of the Action & Adventure and Thriller genres, so it was natural for me to write in them. Iā€™m also a lover of things that go bump in the night and I add a little creepiness just to make things interesting. Not only will you want to keep reading late into the night, the pace and action keeping your nose in the page, but when you finally close the book, youā€™ll probably keep the light on as well.ā€œHelp meā€¦ā€Q ā€“ With the main story focusing around two younger characters, is Frozen Past written for adults?A ā€“ Itā€™s definitely an adult book. With a Thriller, a certain amount of violence and adult material is expected, and Frozen Past definitely fits into that category. Younger readers are not the target audience of the Jaxon Jenningsā€™ series.Jaxon is introduced to the reader in Frozen Past, and though it is not really a prequel, he shares the spotlight with Luke and Ellie, two teenagers who find themselves thrust into a killerā€™s world for seemingly no reason at all. I feel the divide between the adult world and the kidsā€™ world makes the story that much more enthralling.Q ā€“ Should the series be read in any certain order?A ā€“ Each book is a separate story and I wrote them to be enjoyed in any order. If you find you like to stick to a chronological timeline, Iā€™d suggest following this sequence:- Frozen Past- Cache 72- Father FigureJaxon Jenningsā€™ Mystery Thriller Series eBook Categories:- Crime Thrillers- Mystery Action- Mystery Adventure- Thriller Books- Detective Thrillers- Murder Fiction- Serial Killer FictionThank you for reading!

  • The Other Side of the Wall: An Eyewitness Account of the Occupation in Palestine

    Richard Hardigan

    language (Cune Press, Feb. 3, 2018)
    The Other Side of the Wall is an account of the author's experiences in Palestine, where he worked on the front lines of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the International Solidarity Movement, a prominent organization of peace activists. He witnessed and recorded the suffering and injustices imposed on the Palestinians, such as violence meted out by both soldiers and settlers, long waits at checkpoints, travel restrictions, home demolitions, theft of natural resources, unfair economic practices, arbitrary detention and arrest, long prison sentences, and countless other forms of humiliation. The background during his stay in the West Bank, which often pushed its way into the foreground, was provided by two momentous events: the collective punishment visited upon the population of the West Bank by the Israeli army for the kidnapping of three teenaged Jewish settlers, and the subsequent military assault on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 Palestinians.

Praise for Richard C Haleā€™s books: ā€œWhat a fantastic read. I highly recommend it.ā€ ā€œNEAR DEATH is a fast-paced, romance-laced, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining novel with an intriguing premise. Hale doesn't shortchange his readers on character development, either. The characters were well-defined, realistic, and had me simultaneously rooting for and against them. Terrific read!ā€ ā€œBlew me away! An approach that I never saw coming. Well Done!!! I Can't wait to read your next book!ā€ ā€œWow, what an awesome read. I have not come across a book I could not put down like this since "The Firm" or "A Time to Kill".ā€
