Meet Nathan McBride Nathan McBride, #1  KindleAmazon Audible   Ten years ago, a botched mission in Nicaragua ended covert ops specialist Nathan McBride’s CIA career. Now he utilizes his unique skill set in the private sector—until the night Frank Ortega, former director of the FBI, calls in a favor.

Within days of accepting the assignment, McBride finds himself trapped between a ruthless adversary hell-bent on revenge and a group of high-ranking federal officials who will stop at nothing to reap their own brand of justice.

Have you ever experienced déjà vu?  It’s a French expression that translates as “already seen.” If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s when you suddenly have that sense that,  “holy smokes, this has happened before, exactly like this.”When it happens, it always throws me off kilter. I have this recurring vision where I’m standing on the street corner in Chicago back in the 1930s. In this vision, I’m about 22 or 23, and I can see my short hair and the clothes and hat I’m wearing.I have the feeling I was on the way to work in a light brown gabardine dress, the shirt type that buttoned up the front and had a belt. My hat was a similar color and I wore it canted just off center.This vision has come to me many times.  It’s always left me with the strong sense that I was close to the end of my life at that time.  Like maybe I…

2013—Not Just Another Year by NYT Bestseller Dianna Love Do you start a new year anticipating big things, changes or new directions only to find by the end that you’ve just checked off another year with nothing remarkable that happened for you personally? Some years back, I decided that it shouldn’t have to be that way, and came up with a method to keep myself focused and move those changes I was after from dreams to reality.  As an example,  I’ll share what I did to make 2013 different. I’m constantly in motion, so my world moves along quickly because of me more than anything else, because I like to be busy and productive.  But I wanted to do even more in 2012.  In particular, I wanted to write more.  That meant I had to make changes in my schedule since I tend to be on the road a LOT every year. Change doesn’t happen by accident, especially when we have busy lives.  We have to be willing to give up something to get what we want. To write more and to spend time with my very supportive husband, I had to say “no” to speaking invitations, even when I…
