Intense new mystery thriller - A Man Who Can See The Future by W.J.Lane. My name is Bill and I can see the future. It’s a gift, a curse, and also a career. It’s my day job to read peoples futures and then desperately try and tell them something positive about it. See, people think the future will be a lot better than current evidence would suggest. People think they will be happier, more successful, richer and more content - people think the future holds all the answers and that their dreams will come true someday. I can see the future and this is rarely the case. Then one day I see a bomb site - I see corpses - I see hundreds of innocent people slaughtered in a shopping mall using a huge homemade bomb. I see all of this in the future of Phillip Green; the middle aged, mild mannered, overweight and balding insurance manager. I see all of this but I can’t tell anyone because nobody believes you when you claim to see the future. So it’s left to me, my loyal canine companion, and my on / off again girlfriend to stop him - or at least convince somebody to listen.

The Man Behind the Uniform does not seek your sympathy. J.C. Hall asks that you simply try to understand that going from death and destruction, violence and confrontation to humor and even boredom will affect the soul, and he endeavors to explain how.
The only heroes in The Man Behind the Uniform are the wives and spouses of the police officers and their children, who are being raised by people trying to be normal parents after spending a shift bathed in someone else's blood, trying to put their two-year-old to bed after carrying another into the morgue only four hours ago.

I grew up in several small towns across the middle of England as I moved a lot when I was younger. Even though being a writer requires you to be imaginative and creative I'd never really considered myself a person like that until I tried. I've spent the majority of my being not just self deprecating, but believing myself when I put myself down. Most English people just stop at being self deprecating. In my late teen years I started a blog which is how I entered the world of writing. At first I just wrote non-fiction and posted about things I had done and theories I had on things. People enjoyed them and encouraged me to write some fiction. I gave it a shot, and things went well from there. I've had some ups and downs since then but overall I'm glad I began writing. I've only given in to peer pressure once and that made me start writing. So that can't be all that bad can it?

"A funny, passionate and heart-warming tale of one football fan's mission to win respect for the lifeblood of the game" - Brian Reade, The Daily Mirror
Peter Farrell is a passionate football supporter who thinks nothing of spending every last penny on following his team to the end of the earth, until one day, whilst queuing outside an English Premier league ground, he witnesses something he's not supposed to see. He is so incensed by what he considers to be a disrespectful and insulting laugh at the expense of football fans everywhere, he decides it's time for the fans to have a laugh back, unaware that by doing so, his whole life will never be the same again.
In this truly incredible and defining moment, he embarks on an amazing protest by simply refusing to pay into any more matches until football fans are given the respect they deserve. This enormous challenge, filled with highs and lows, tears and laughter carries many daring risks, but he is determined to go through with it as a matter of principle. What unfolds is a remarkable adventure that has to be read to be believed. With no prior experience, nor the faintest idea how to do it, this protest is brilliantly executed. The grim reality is, the tourists are now more welcome than the real fans, as they plan our extinction - let them watch it on TV, they are no longer needed.
This book aims to stop them.

Sal Kramer is thinking of reversing his medical ethics. It tears at his mind.
The Dressler twins share everything, including a lethal kidney disorder.
When only one survives their flawless transplant operations, the Seattle
pediatrician is devastated. Sal can't understand why Zeke is dead.
Zack can tell him--he claims to be in contact with his twin. His
brother's friend Garth asked him to give his kidney back, Zack explains,
and he did. The four-year-old makes it sound like a minor squabble over
a toy truck. Sal doesn't need another helping of crazy: he's already
stressed from placating a wife who yearns to leave him and his
high-maintenance tomcat. Still, he wonders how Zack could know the
deceased donor's name. Things are peculiar at the hospital, too:
patients who should be dead are not dying. The only other fatality
recorded in recent days is a suicide--yet another recipient unlucky
enough to score one of Garth Blodgett's organs.
Sal Kramer's lifelong faith in science is soon demolished. While heaven and hell are
infinite, Sal learns, purgatory is not. Pushed to its temporal limit by
the increasing number of souls waiting for their donated organs to die,
the afterlife is locked down like a recalcitrant computer in need of a
reboot. Garth Blodgett is that reboot. Unless Sal helps him find the
rest of his missing parts and soon, no one is going anywhere.
Give It Back is a chiller--a supernatural horror feast of the machine gone
wrong, far enough off the rails to satiate the worst Luddites lurking
among us. This medical supernatural thriller is packed full of thrills and chills for the discerning reader.
"A pleasingly creepy premise" -- Publisher's Weekly ABNA 2014 Quarter Finalist review.
Horror is now and always will be my undying love. Arthur Machen and Michael McDowell, as well as less obscure writers like Stephen King, all masters of situational and horrific suspense, are my own personal favorites. I am, myself, not loathe to throw in a bit in a bit of blood and black humor. Check out my blog at mrstorie.com if you really want to know how I think.
The Dressler twins share everything, including a lethal kidney disorder.

Give It Back is a chiller--a supernatural horror feast of the machine gone wrong, far enough off the rails to satiate the worst Luddites lurking among us.

Wales is the latest addition to Footprint's celtic nations. The capital, Cardiff, is undergoing a renaissance and has become a great shopping city with loads of lively bars and restaurants together with the best stadium in the country. But Wales has much more to offer: a fabulous coastline espcially around Pembrokshire; splendid mountains with Snowdonia dominating the north; huge castles reminding the visitor of Wales' turbulant past. Then there are the towns, Victorian Tenby, Britains smallest city at St David's; the Wells towns, spas in Central Wales; and the Italinate Portmeirion. Add to this great wildlife, rugby, music eisteddfods and the Welsh cultural tradition and you have one of the most visited areas of Britain.

Time-traveling gamer, Max, embarks on a harrowing journey through the Wild West of 1881! After a huge fight with his parents, Max tries to return to his love and his best friend, Bero, in medieval Germany. Instead he lands in 1881 New Mexico. Struggling to get his bearings and coming to terms with Dr. Stuler’s evil computer game misleading him, he runs into Billy the Kid. To his amazement Billy isn’t at all the ruthless killer history made him out to be. Trouble brews when a dying Warm Springs Apache gives Max a huge gold nugget to help his sister, Ela, escape from Fort Sumner. Shopping for supplies Max attracts the attention of ruthless bandits. Before Max can ask the Kid’s help, he and Ela are forced to embark on a journey to find his imaginary goldmine. This is book 2 in the Escape from the Past trilogy.
"What a fun summer read! The Kid is an artful combination of science fiction and historical fiction that come together in a fantasy that is believable enough that the suspension of disbelief is possible and make the reading truly enjoyable. What a wonderful way to bring history to life, re-imagine the past, and imagine the future all at the same time!" --Patrice W. Hallock, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Education, Chair, Educator Preparation & Psych-Child Life, Utica College
"Escape from the Past: The Kid is a magical fictional mystery interwoven with historical facts and exciting adventures. The reader experiences the twists and turns of the story while gaining a greater appreciation of the challenges of life in the Wild West during the late 1800's. It's a thoroughly enjoyable experience you will not want to miss." --Richard Rafes, Ph.D., J.D., former President of East Central University
"As an English teacher of 43 years and as a life-long student of the Wild West and Native Americans, I found Annette Oppenlander's, The Kid, to be an accurate, well-researched and thoroughly entertaining novel for young readers. Ms. Oppenlander has a keen eye for detail, and her ability to create cliffhanging situations of high suspense makes for a great read. I strongly recommend this novel for any imaginative young reader who likes to have one foot in fantasy and one in reality." --Bill Hays, English AP/Honors Teacher, Retired, Bloomington North High School
Growing up in Europe, I have always been fascinated with the Wild West. So when it came time to decide where and when "Max Nerds" may travel into history, the tragic figure of Billy the Kid alias Henry McCarty came to mind. After reading several books about Billy and trying to decide at what time Max should meet him, I learned about Warm Springs Apache Chief Nana who, during the summer of 1881, embarked on a vengeance war against the U.S. Army.
Chief Nana was nearly 80 years old and took a dozen warriors 3,000 miles across New Mexico, never to be caught. Naturally, I wanted Nana in my story.
In the spring of 2015 I spent 10 days crisscrossing New Mexico to travel in the footsteps of my protagonist and the story's main characters. I visited Fort Sumner, Lincoln, Chloride, Silver City, explored the Rio Grande and spent one entire day, driving 48 miles across the Gila wilderness, the former home of the Warm Springs Apaches or Red Paint People.
I hope you'll enjoy the story as much as I did writing it.
Annette Oppenlander writes historical fiction for young adults. When she isn’t in front of her computer, she loves indulging her mutt, Mocha, and traveling around the U.S. and Europe to discover amazing histories.
