30+ books for you to check out — Part 1

This is the first of a multi-part series. I'm cleaning out my list of Amazon Shout Outs because I'm going to redesign the sign up process. There's more than 30 books that I haven't featured yet. Here's the first set (10 of them); they are in the order in which I received them. For this clean-out series I am not bothering with genre.

New Beginnings


For Megumi, her happy life was destroyed when she was a small child, violence leading her into more violence until she was saved by the Zogone, alien race.

But after a space battle that leads to them being taken hostage by a goddess, Megumi starts to think of what her life of violence cost her and fears she may never see Earth again much less the man, her one true love, that she left behind.

Smart Shield


Only two people of stature and authority respect Don Milkey, private eye. One of them is murdered, and the other one did it. Tracking down the killer is the job of Donald Milkey and Associates, a business enterprise that is a work of fiction in its own right. A less-than-professional staff, an absence of a business office, a budget supplemented by his part-time security jobs, all appear to be limitations to the Milkey and Associates investigation. But, for Milkey, he has sufficient resources for the job.

The cousins realized that the couple was eccentric, but they were harmless…or were they?
