#SaturdaySpotlight: @HLWegley and #TripleThreat

Good Morning!

Today's post is late but I promise you won't be disappointed. HL Wegley returns to share with us his latest release and book 4 in his Genius series, Triple Threat.

H. L. Wegley has been a USAF Intelligence Analyst, a Weather Officer, and a research scientist, where he published in the scientific literature. After earning an advanced Computer-Science degree, he developed computing systems for 20+ years, then retired to write. He has a contracted 4-book, Christian-thriller-series with Pelican Book Group. The 4th book, Triple Threat, released in November 2014. He’s currently finishing his 8th novel, a political thriller.

Find out more about HL by visiting his Website, Facebook page or at GoodReads.

Brilliant, beautiful, 21-year-old Katie Brandt, PhD candidate and woman of faith, detects a deadly conspiracy. Suspecting it's only the tip of an iceberg, she dives in, pulling fellow grad student, Joshua West, with her into a high-risk investigation of a cyber-terrorist plot. Damaged by the foster-care system, Katie takes huge risks to win acceptance and love. But when she risks Josh’s life, an agnostic, who isn’t prepared to die, she fears her mistake might have eternal consequences for Josh, a mistake that could break Katie's heart, a heart rapidly falling for Josh.

Will Katie and Josh survive the investigation? If they do, can they ever span the chasm of divergent worldviews that separates them? How can they awaken a dozing nation to a three-pronged danger that threatens its very existence?

Triple Threat, an adventure that spans the Pacific Northwest from the shores of the Olympic Peninsula to the mountains of Whistler, BC, a conspiracy you might read in tomorrow's paper, but pray you never will.

“I need to be in the building while he’s online. I’ll sniff his computer to locate the room, then we can—”

“That’s going too far, Kate. It’s risky enough just walking through the building. But going into a terrorist’s room…”

“He doesn’t have a clue who we are. We could…” Kate’s eyebrows rose and her blue eyes lit up. “We need a cover story. Let’s see…it’s June. We can pretend to be there on our honeymoon. That’s perfect because you’re…well…and I’m, uh—”

“You must really want me dead. Even if we survive Whistler, your granddad will find out about our fake honeymoon and kick my head off. Then your mom will shoot me.”

“Shoot you? Mom’s a karate expert, too.”

“So I noticed out behind Key Arena. Will you tell them about us going to Whistler?”

“So you are coming?”

“Yeah. I’m coming.” He let out a blast of air. “Kate…you know, no girl…uh, woman has ever talked me into as many things I didn’t want to do as you have in the last couple of days.”

“Consider it good preparation for marriage.” Kate’s grin morphed to a smile, a smile that highlighted the features on an incredibly beautiful face.

She didn’t seem to be the manipulative type, nevertheless he felt manipulated. Probably by his own right brain. “Kate this is a pretend honeymoon, isn’t it?”

Kate burst out laughing. “What do you think?”

“Doggone it, Kate. You throw so much baloney at me I’m never sure what you really mean.”

“The baloney isn’t the wurst.” Kate’s crooked smile gave her an impish look.

Bad puns and all, life with Kate Brandt, no matter how long or short it turned out to be, would never be dull.

She hooked his arm with hers. “Come on, Josh, we’ve got a honeymoon to plan.”

Triple Threat can be purchased at Amazon (Kindle), Pelican Book Group, Barnes and Noble and ChristianBook.com!

Saturday Spotlight: Moon Over Maalaea Bay by HL Wegley

Good Morning Friends!

It is my pleasure to bring to you the latest release by Pelican Book Group author HL Wegley, Moon Over Maalaea Bay.

In this story, we continue the journey of Lee and Jennifer (introduced in On the Pineapple Express) through the horrors of human trafficking. But first a little about Harry.....


H. L. Wegley served in the US Air Force as an Intelligence Analyst and a Weather Officer. He is a Meteorologist who, while working as a forecaster and a research scientist in Atmospheric Physics, published extensively in the scientific literature. After earning an MS in Computer Science, he worked more than two decades as a Systems Programmer at Boeing before retiring in the Seattle area, where he and his wife of 47 years enjoy small-group ministry, their grandchildren, hiking beaches on the Olympic Peninsula, snorkeling Maui whenever he gets a chance, and where he writes inspirational thrillers and romantic suspense novels. Besides his scientific publications, he published one non-fiction work, Colby and Me: Growing up in the '50s, a humorous collection of the childhood adventures of an early baby boomer.

In an instant the honeymoon of Lee's dreams morphs to a nightmare when Jennifer disappears on their wedding night in Maui. An international trafficking ring Jennifer crippled weeks earlier seeks revenge by selling her into slavery. But a more sinister organization wants to buy Jennifer for other purposes.

With the clock ticking toward Jennifer's impending sale, Lee, accompanied by foster daughter, Katie, and Jennifer's grandfather, begins his own search. As the search by Lee, the Maui Police, and the federal government intensifies, beautiful Katie ends up in the cross-hairs of the traffickers.


Can Lee save both his bride and his future daughter? What if he has to make a choice? 


If Jennifer is sold, could she kill herself to avoid a life filled with degradation and unspeakable horror? If she did, would God forgive her?


Excerpt: 
In light of recent events, she should be dead. Jennifer Akihara should no longer exist.
And now she doesn't.
The thought brought a smile to her lips.
Nearly nine hours ago, in another world three thousand miles away, Jennifer Akihara became Mrs. Lee Brandt. "Jennifer Brandt," she whispered. It sounded right. It was right. And the dangers that nearly prevented her from taking Lee's name were gone, either locked away in a federal prison or dead.
Spending her wedding night with Lee in a tropical paradise would be the perfect start to their life as man and wife. But the perfect start had been delayed.
In the fading twilight, under a purple sky, Jennifer glanced up at Lee's brilliant, blue eyes as he walked beside her in his cargo shorts and muscle shirt, looking she hated clichés, but there was simply no other word for him but “hot.” Tonight, on this island, extremely hot. And the warm, humid trade winds, which caressed her skin and ruffled Lee's hair, cooled nothing.
Lee seemed unusually quiet. Maybe he was disappointed about their room not being ready.
She moved close to him, gently brushing against his side with each step as they strolled through the menagerie of colorful Kihei shops. The fragrance of pineapple, mango, and coconut mingled with those of cloves and cinnamon near the kiosks selling soaps, candles, and lotions.
She looked up at him, wondering what was on his mind. It was time to probe. "If someone hadn't broken into our room just before we arrived, right now we would be?”
"We'd be watching the moon over Maalaea Bay out that big window. I know."
"If someone hadn't insisted on that room, maybe we could've gotten another room, and we could be."
"I know, sweetheart. But when you see the sunset from our room tomorrow evening, you'll understand. That room is special. We can eat dinner here at the shops, and by 7:30 our room door will be fixed and the electronics that were stolen will all be replaced, just like the manager promised. And we get a free night for our inconvenience."
"Inconvenience? That's hardly the word for what I feel." She met his gaze with love and longing in her eyes.
Thoughts of being alone with him filled her mind. She touched her face. Like Lee, it was hot.
He smiled at her. "You should see your cheeks, Jenn."
Her hand jerked back to her face.
"Didn't you overdo the blush a little?" He looked down at her and grinned.

His grin told her he was back from wherever his mind had wondered, and he knew exactly what she was thinking. Lee was an expert at reading her mind, and he loved to tease her, especially when the teasing turned her permanently tan cheeks a rosy red.

Looks like our former AF Intelligence Analyst and a Weather Officer has a romantic side J
Moon Over Maalaea Bay is available now in Ebook & Print!

Something to think about!

Today is is my pleasure to welcome my friend and fellow PBG author, HL Wegley to our spotlight with his brand new release, On the Pineapple Express.

In one of the most beautiful places on earth the ugliest of crimes holds young, innocent lives in its evil grip. An intercepted cell-phone call from a remote area on the Olympic Peninsula tells beautiful, brilliant NSA researcher, Jennifer Akihara, a group of girls will soon be sold into slavery by human traffickers. She enlists her fiancé, Lee Brandt, to help find the holding location and convince the FBI to intervene. With the clock ticking off the last few hours before both the sale of the girls and the arrival of a deadly storm, and with international criminals pursuing them, can Jennifer and Lee save the girls, or will their wedding plans be cancelled ... permanently?

Excerpt: 
Olympic Peninsula, Saturday, November 2, 11:00 AM

Jennifer Akihara’s SUV slid sideways on Highway 101 when she turned in at the Lake Quinault store. She jerked the wheel left, tapped the brakes, and coaxed the vehicle into a parking spot. Huge raindrops assaulted the windshield like bullets trying to blow holes in the safety glass. The wipers slapped out their liveliest rhythm, but her heart thumped even faster as she hit Special Agent Peterson’s speed dial number on her cell. Lee Brandt, her fiancé, sat silently in the passenger seat, but his foot tapped out a tempo somewhere between andante and presto. She pushed the speakerphone. Lee needed to take his fair share of the coming abuse. “Peterson, this is Jennifer Akihara.” 

“How is my favorite NSA sleuth on this miserable day?” 

“I stumbled across something near my research site on the peninsula…something you should know about.” 

"Is there a little smuggling going on along the coast?” 

“You could say that. Drugs smuggled in, young girls smuggled out.” Peterson’s end went silent. “This morning I analyzed the data downloaded from my wireless scanner near Forks. Nearly thirteen days ago, it recorded an encrypted cell-phone conversation.” 

“Cell-phone conversation? You chose that location for your testing because there’s no cell service. But you need to—” 

“You mean no legal cell service. When I had a colleague from Fort Meade decrypt the call, I heard traffickers selling girls.” Silence again. 

“Can you get the unencrypted conversation to me today?” His usual booming voice of authority had softened. 

“I’ll e-mail it from my cell when we’re finished talking. But, Petersen, the next exchange of girls is set for tomorrow night. Can you move quickly enough to stop it?” 

“You intercepted a private call. That raises some legal issues we—” 

“Legal issues? There’s nothing legal about that call, and what they’re doing is worse than illegal.”

On the Pineapple Express is available now in Ebook & Print and is the sequel to H.L's novel, Hide & Seek (also available in ebook & print)

Find out more about H.L.'s titles by visiting his Amazon Author Page.

Well Friends, hope you enjoyed this week's spotlight. Stay tuned next week as my Tuesday Treasure focuses on titles from Tina Gayle's "Egg-cerpt Exchange" which I am participating in again this year!

Until later...take care, God Bless and remember.... Life is a gift that's why each day is called the present.
