Two top notch thrillers
If you're using the Kindle App, you can download my two thrillers.
In SEVEN DAYS FROM SUNDAY, a beautiful young Iraqi woman, kidnapped by a terrorist, escapes his clutches and goes to the Americans inside the Green Zone for help. But instead of protecting her, they ask her to go back to the terrorist and do as he asks. Why? Because they know he is planning a devastating attack in the next few days and time is running out on finding out what the attack is and stopping it.
That, and the fact that all is fair in love and war. And we are at war.
Here is what a customer recently wrote, giving it a 5-star review: "I can highly recommend this book. It is well constructed, very timely and hard to put down. It is written as a thriller (and meets that goal), but it includes lots of content from the perspective of contemporary Iraqi civilians and presents what appears to be a revealing view of life in the post-Saddam world. Well worth the time."
In the sequel, THE SHOT TO DIE FOR, a photograph results in a kidnapping. A U.S. soldier's murder results in the discovery of a hidden computer flash drive. The consequence of these two events? A deadly game cat and mouse game between the CIA team and a fanatical terrorist group. At stake? The complete collapse of Iraq's banking system.

VICTORY COVE - Danger and Romance on Maine's Coast
May I dip my toes in the water?
I don't know if anyone loved those Victoria Holt gothic romances as much as I did, but that's pretty much what you get with me.
Danger. Romance. Dark cliffs. Sinister house. That's generally my formula.
Of course that same formula was used in Scooby Doo.
WIDOW'S TALE -
Every night Serena stood on the deck of O'Flanagans Tavern, searching Maine's rugged coast for a sign of her husband's body. Though he was pronounced lost at sea, Alan Murphy still haunted her as only his malevolent spirit could. If she could just find his body, surely this torture would stop.
It had been ten years since Brett Murphy saw his sister in-law, although the separation was by design, to avoid temptation. Now Brett was in Victory Cove, not to declare his feelings for Serena, but to discover the truth about his brother's death. In doing so, he must battle Serena's ghosts, both real and contrived.
VICTORY COVE -
Megan Summers thought that she was safe in the remote coastal village of Victory Cove. For a year she hid in seclusion, preparing for the battle ahead by building her own target range and practicing adaptability in the darkened halls of Wakefield House. But, today a stranger appeared on her doorstep. Was he it? Was he her executioner?
For Jake Grogan, his trek to Victory Cove started out with a cryptic letter from a woman who after thirty-five years of silence identified herself as his mother. He was told to locate Wakefield House, the home of his grandmother. Jake found the sinister residence on the outermost crag of the ocean, but the woman who answered the door was not elderly. She was young, attractive, and looked like she would do about anything to get him off her doorstep.

The Ezekiel Code - "2012 is coming...Or is it?"
"The plot is intriguing and interesting to the point of being bestseller material."
-- Red Adept's Kindle Book Review Blog
I'm pleased to announce my debut novel, The Ezekiel Code, is enjoying its 28th week as an amazon.com "Best Seller" in "Occult" and "Religious Fiction" as of the date of this posting! Thank you, readers!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's all here in one puzzling page-turner of a novel: conspiracy, codes, prophecy, secret societies, UFOs, ancient mysteries, esoteric lore, the prophetic Mayan calendar end-date of 2012, alternative interpretations of Biblical events, mystifying metaphysics, good guys, bad guys, murder most foul, a touch of romance and a trace of sci-fi. All of this, and more, is intricately woven into the multifaceted storyline of THE EZEKIEL CODE
Gary Val Tenuta - former contributing writer for Fate Magazine (U.S.) and Beyond Magazine (U.K.) and a guest on numerous radio programs (including Dreamland, hosted by best selling author Whitley Strieber and The X-Zone hosted by Rob McConnell) - has crafted a provocative mystery novel with an esoteric edge that may upset certain segments of the population while at the same time enthralling others with it's alternative perspective on reality and its vision for the future.
From its cryptic prologue to its dramatic climax, THE EZEKIEL CODE blends fact and fiction into a tale of mystery, adventure and high strangeness:
Zeke Banyon is a handsome Catholic seminary dropout who now runs a homeless shelter in Seattle's old waterfront district. Angela Ann Martin is an attractive young widow who just wants a simple part-time job at the shelter. But a single twist of fate turns their simple lives upside down when together they stumble onto a mysterious code and a rumor about a lost scroll penned by the prophet, Ezekiel, thousands of years ago. They soon find themselves tumbling down the rabbit hole into a world of secret societies, metaphysics, mystery and murder as they jet across continents in a race to understand the code that will lead them to an ancient artifact of profound importance. Dodging rogue Jesuit priests at every turn and unaware that the Illuminati are ever-present in the shadows, Zeke and Angela soon discover it's not just their own lives that are in danger but also the lives of everyone on the planet.
Is Zeke Banyon the Chosen One of an obscure ancient prophecy? And if so, can he successfully accomplish the mission fate has in store for him? Nothing in seminary school could ever have prepared him for this.
2012 is coming... Or is it?
The clock is ticking…The code must be deciphered…And only one man can save the planet...If he can just figure out how...Before it's too late.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gary Val Tenuta gives Dan Brown a run for his "Lost Symbol" money with The Ezekiel Code."
– Laura Faeth, author of "I FOUND ALL THE PARTS: Healing the Soul Through Rock 'n' Roll"
"The plot is intriguing and interesting to the point of being bestseller material."
- Red Adept's Kindle Book Review Blog
"Entertaining and enlightening. A course in high strangeness."
– Jay Weidner, documentary producer and co-author of Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye
"High-concept fiction. An unforgettable book."
– Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands
"An impressive feat."
– Peter A. Gersten, editor, PAG eNews
"Highly Recommended!"
– Michael Tsarion, internationally renown divination scholar, author and lecturer
THE EZEKIEL CODE, an EVVY Award nominee, is available in paperback and Kindle.
