No Hiding in The Open: A Journey in Professional Golf
FREE | Golf Memoir | by John Hoskison ⛳
John Hoskison dreams of making it as a successful golf pro on the European PGA Tour. When he meets Seve Ballesteros for the first time and makes the cut in the Martini International he looks set for success. 🏆 Then reality kicks in at Royal Birkdale in the PGA Championships. 😰
This is a true story of how someone has to deal with life’s ups and downs. 💔
With confidence in tatters John Hoskison sets out on a quest to find a golf swing that will work and stand the ultimate test of playing in The Open. But there are no psychologists or coaches to help. Like the rest of the young pros, he has to find the solution himself and no stone is left unturned. 🔍
From trying crazy superstitions to simply copying the top players like Tom Watson and Nick Faldo, this book shows the difference between the modern day tour pro and the young men who went into battle with blindfolds on. ⛳
The account of John Hoskison’s life on tour is funny, sad and brutally honest. This book will be a fascinating read for any keen golfer or sportsman and the sting in the tail will surprise everyone who reads it. 😮
What drew me in: This isn’t your typical “I won the Masters” golf book—this is about the guys who almost made it, who met Seve Ballesteros and made a cut and thought they had it, then reality crashed down at Royal Birkdale. 💥 Hoskison’s honesty about trying “crazy superstitions” and copying Tom Watson’s swing out of desperation is painfully relatable for anyone who’s chased a dream. The phrase “went into battle with blindfolds on” captures the era before sports psychology and proper coaching—these young pros were figuring it out alone. The “sting in the tail” promises a surprising ending. Perfect for golfers, sports fans who love underdog stories, or anyone fascinated by the mental game of professional sports. This is Tin Cup meets The Greatest Game Ever Played but real. And it’s FREE! 🏌️
New York Minute: The Green Berets: Will Kane #1
FREE | Military Thriller | by Bob Mayer 🗽
How far can a good man get pushed? Who has the deadly skills to stand up against evil? 💪
The last time former Green Beret Will Kane was involved in killing someone it made the cover of LIFE Magazine. Eight years later he’s getting pushed to the edge of that precipice he vowed never to go over again. 😤
New York City, summer 1977. The Bronx is burning. 🔥 The twin towers of the new World Trade Center loom over the skyline. Son of Sam. Star Wars. Studio 54. The Five Families. The city faces bankruptcy and unrest seethes. On the dark streets of a city the rest of the country believes is going down the toilet, Vietnam vet Kane’s life mirrors his hometown. 🏙️
Carrying a past cratered with death and tragedy, Kane has been working as a ‘fixer’ for a high-priced lawyer since returning to New York in disgrace. But is he really fixing anything? 🤔
He operates out of a diner in Greenwich Village where he starts each day. It begins when he takes a compromising picture as part of the job. As the long hot summer boils, so does Kane as the mob, the CIA, the IRA, and other forces are brought to bear on him. What they all seem to have forgotten, and Kane wishes he could, is that he is a highly trained and experienced warrior. ⚔️
A skilled killer. 💀
This is important because: Mayer captures 1977 NYC at its grittiest—Son of Sam hunting, the Bronx literally burning, the city bankrupt, Studio 54 partying while Rome burns. 🎭 Will Kane is a Green Beret trying to stay on the right side of the line, working as a “fixer” for a lawyer, when his past catches up. The detail that his last kill “made the cover of LIFE Magazine“ tells you Kane’s capable of serious violence but haunted by it. When the mob, CIA, and IRA all converge on him, they’re about to remember why you don’t corner a trained killer. This is the first in the Will Kane series. Perfect for fans of Jack Reacher or anyone who loves 1970s crime thrillers with historical authenticity. The Greenwich Village diner setting gives it Taxi Driver vibes. FREE! 🚕

Guarded by the Marshal (In Clear Sight Book 1)
FREE | Small Town Romantic Suspense | by Kennedy L. Mitchell 🔐
A single bad decision trapped me behind guarded gates until the FBI raids the cult’s compound setting me free. I thought the worst was over, little did I know the men who kidnapped me won’t stop until I’m dragged back into their cruel world. 😱
Witness protection is my only option for a chance at freedom, a chance to start fresh. ✨
Then the too attractive to be a US Marshal walks into the courtroom shattering my plans to leave this life behind. 😍
After everything I’ve been through I shouldn’t want his touch, the comfort of his protective arms. But I do. 💕
And after a steamy kiss neither of us expected, we can’t stop wanting more despite the evil hot on our heels. 🔥
He’s years older, arrogant and just as broken as me. 💔 Our attraction is undeniable despite knowing it can’t last. ⚡
When I’m called back to the town where it all started we know it’s a trap. 😰 Though nothing could prepare us for the lengths the cult will go to drag me back to hell. 👿
Here’s the thing: Mitchell delivers exactly what romantic suspense fans crave—a traumatized heroine escaping a cult, witness protection, and a hot US Marshal who’s supposed to keep things professional but absolutely cannot. 🔥 The “too attractive to be a US Marshal” line is chef’s kiss, and the age gap plus “just as broken as me” creates perfect damaged-souls-healing-together energy. The dual POV means we get both sides of their attraction fighting against protocol and danger. When they’re called back to where it started and walk into a trap together, stakes couldn’t be higher. This is the first in the In Clear Sight series. Content warnings: past abuse, kidnapping, attempted SA (not by hero), PTSD.

FREE | Space Marine Science Fiction | by J.M. Wight 🚀
Not long from now, in our own Milky Way… 🌌
The name’s Sam Kletchka. Perhaps you’ve heard of me: captain of the Star Runner, military contractor for Earthfleet, and interstellar privateer. 💫 But before all that, I was a hired gun, freelancing across the galaxy one gunslinging job at a time. 🔫
This, my friends, is how I went from being stranded in the armpit of the galaxy to becoming the luckiest human being in the universe. ✨ Not that it was easy, of course. I’ve looked death in the face so often, he’s practically an old buddy of mine. 💀 But when all your worst enemies are immortal, that’s a buddy you want on your side. 😎
Stay frosty, my friends. You never know what you’ll find at the next star. ⭐
What makes this essential: Sam Kletchka’s voice is pure Han Solo meets Firefly’s Malcolm Reynolds—cocky, self-deprecating, and immediately likable! 😄 “Stranded in the armpit of the galaxy” and “death is practically an old buddy” tells you this is space opera with humor and personality. The “immortal enemies” hook suggests this isn’t just ship-to-ship combat but something darker and more complex. Wight writes accessible military sci-fi that doesn’t get bogged down in technical details but delivers on action and character. This is the first in the Gunslinger Trilogy.

While this fantasy adventure is a distant prequel to The World of Godsland Epic Fantasy Series, and a great place to start the series, it can also stand alone. 📚
Here’s why you need this: “Dragon Airways” as a concept is immediately brilliant—think dragons-as-transportation meets sibling adventure! 🐲 Emmet can sense ancient magic, making him valuable to BOTH sides of a war, which means nobody’s safe to trust.

Whisking Up Murder (The Enchanted Whisk Book 1)
FREE | Magical Bakery Cozy Mystery | by Poppy Windham 🧁
What’s worse than inheriting a business you know nothing about? Inheriting a MAGICAL business you know nothing about. ✨
Sage Thorne’s carefully planned life just exploded. 💥 One minute she’s a burned-out corporate lawyer microwaving sad dinners in Boston, the next she’s inherited a bakery in the impossibly whimsical town of Moonbridge Hollow—complete with a talking cat who has opinions about her baking skills. 🐱
Did we mention the cat talks? Because Basil definitely talks. And he’s not impressed. 😼
Turns out Great-Aunt Rosemary left Sage more than just a business. She’s now a kitchen witch who can bake emotions into cupcakes—which would be amazing if she had any clue what she was doing. 🧙♀️ Instead, her magical muffins are about as predictable as a caffeinated squirrel. 🐿️
But when a vicious food critic drops dead after eating her “perfectly harmless” comfort cupcakes, Sage becomes the prime suspect in a very magical murder. 😱 Now she’s got 48 hours to master abilities she didn’t know she had, solve a crime she didn’t commit, and figure out why the devastatingly handsome local veterinarian keeps growling at people. 🐺
This is important because: Windham’s voice is DELIGHTFUL—”magical muffins are about as predictable as a caffeinated squirrel” is comedy gold! 😂 Sage is a burned-out corporate lawyer (relatable) who inherits a magical bakery and a talking cat named Basil who judges her baking. The concept of a “kitchen witch” who bakes emotions into food is brilliant, and when her comfort cupcakes kill a food critic, the stakes get real fast. The “devastatingly handsome veterinarian who keeps growling” is obviously a shifter, adding paranormal romance to the cozy mystery. This is the first in The Enchanted Whisk series. Perfect for fans of Bailey Cates’ Magical Bakery Mysteries or anyone who wants Practical Magic meets The Great British Baking Show! FREE! 🎂
