  The November sun that had been red and threatening all day, slowly disappeared behind a cloud bank. The wind that had held steadily to the south for a week, now shifted suddenly to the northeast, coming as a furious blast. In a moment, it seemed, the mild Indian Summer breeze was changed to a fierce winter gale. 
  	The little schooner yacht that had been riding in the bay not more than a half mile from the jagged, rocky shore line, began dancing about like a cork. For a swell had come driving in from the ocean just as the wind changed, and now the two tall masts waved back and forth, bending in wide sweeps before the gale. Unfortunately for the little craft the change of the direction of the wind exposed it to the storm’s full fury. 
  	The captain, a weatherbeaten old Yankee who had sailed vessels of his own as well as those belonging to other people for forty years, was plainly worried. With a glass in his hand he scanned the shore line of the bay in every direction, occasionally giving a sharp order to the four sailors who hurried about the deck to carry out his commands. 
  	The only other persons on the yacht were a man and a boy who had been sitting together beside the forward mast when the wind changed. The man was a tall, straight figure, with the erect carriage that sinewy, muscular men who are accustomed to hard work retain well into old age. His face, with its leathery skin, which contrasted sharply with his iron gray beard, was softened by a pair of deep blue eyes—the kind of blue eyes that can snap with determination on occasion, in contrast to their usually kindly expression.

  When independent travel journalist Sophie Harper accepts a once-in-a-lifetime assignment to cover a luxurious, secluded island owned by the reclusive billionaire Ethan Caldwell, she expects serene beaches and inspiring stories—but not the secrets that lie beneath the surface. 
  As Sophie navigates the island’s opulent beauty, she quickly realizes that every corner hides intrigue: shadowy figures, cryptic messages, and a web of deception connected to Ethan’s past. Ethan, scarred by betrayal and loss, struggles to trust anyone—especially someone as determined and fearless as Sophie. 
  Amid tropical storms and escalating danger, Sophie and Ethan must rely on one another to survive an unseen threat bent on destroying both the island and Ethan’s empire. Secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and hearts are tested as Sophie uncovers truths that will change everything. 
  The Billionaire’s Island Escape is a suspenseful, emotional journey of healing, trust, and love—a story of two wounded souls finding courage and hope on an island where escape means more than just leaving the world behind.

  Mars the Warning 
  Book 4 of 6 – the martian uprising 
  This fourth story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
  As the Martian revolt reaches its climax, Dr. Lin Mei witnesses humanity's desperate last stand at Outpost Alpha. Crystalline warships emerge from Mars' soil, dismantling human defenses with terrifying precision. General Drake's military forces are crushed at Olympus Mons, while Martian weapons systematically destroy terraforming equipment across the planet. When Martians breach the command center, their leader delivers an ultimatum through fractured translations: "Leave or perish." Drake insists on fighting, but Lin negotiates a fragile truce—humanity will abandon Mars in exchange for safe passage. As evacuation orders spread, the Martians reveal their planet's wounded ecosystems through holograms, forcing humans to confront their destructive colonization. In the shadow of crystalline armadas, Lin broadcasts the retreat, acknowledging Mars was never humanity's to claim. The uprising ends not with annihilation but a bitter lesson: coexistence requires respect, not conquest. As ships lift off, Lin glimpses a future where humans may return—not as conquerors, but as humble guests to a civilization far older than their own.  
  I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and its only $3. 
  the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm as the next episode will see them emerge to do battle, 1 minutes plus.  
  The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
