Powerballs: Be careful what you wish for.
by Jimmy Clifton

A sudden windfall – and the money to make every dream come true…

With finances and marriage strained to the breaking point, Rose and Henry Ball dream of new lives filled with romance and adventure. Then Fortune takes a hand. Against all odds the couple win a record Powerball lottery. The sudden windfall is the answer to all their prayers. Or not.

Helpless to resist the sirens’ song, the Balls leap feet first into the intoxicating world of the super-rich. Henry drifts into treacherous waters on a mad Russian oligarch’s yacht, while Rose throws caution to the wind and rushes headlong into the arms of a beautiful, dangerous stranger. The Balls are in way over their heads by the time Fortune reveals her capricious nature. A swashbuckling investment banker entrusted with their wealth has rolled the dice and lost. Now, money can’t save Rose from a terrible fate. It’s up to Henry to come to her rescue.

The pleasures and perils of sudden wealth spring to vivid life in the rip-roaring POWERBALLS, where wealth and security are illusions – and only love endures. 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JIMMY CLIFTON was reported lost at sea in the early morning hours of June 7, 2020. His crewmates on the fishing boat Miss Rosie Mae remember his prodigious capacity for rum and a gift for spinning yarns that helped captain and crew endure those tedious stretches on the open water. He left a loaded .45, an old photo from better times, and several manuscripts as the only clues to a life well lived.

But the tale doesn't end there.

The task of curating the Jimmy Clifton series and bringing this gifted writer's intriguing novels to light has been left to MICHAEL HAYES, Clifton's only known living kin. As a longtime ad man, Hayes shares Clifton's talents for weaving tall tales and stretching the truth.

This first one’s called POWERBALLS. A cautionary tale if there ever was one about the perils of sudden wealth, and what the almighty dollar can do to a man’s, or woman’s, soul. In the immortal words of Jimmy Clifton: Be careful what you wish for.

We think you’ll like it.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!”     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...
