I don’t know why I torture myself. I came across an article this morning titled “Five Expert Tips for Surviving a Shark Attack,” and decided that it would be okay to read this article before my morning coffee. Spoiler alert! It wasn’t smart. I mentally can’t handle much in the morning before coffee, and seeing the words “Prey” and “Chum” were enough to put me over the edge. Number 1 – Don’t Panic. Yaaa… I won’t be able to not panic. What else ya got? Number 2 – Try to Maintain Eye Contact With The Shark. Now this I can do. I really think I wouldn’t be able to look away even if I tried. In fact, I think I might stare at the shark so much I would make it uncomfortable, like… very awkward. Number 3 – If A Shark Attacks, Fight Back. Again, I don’t think that would be an issue because I am certain my arms and legs will be doing all sorts of flailing around. Number 4 – If a Shark Has Bitten Your Arm, Keep It Over Your head. I’m just going to say okay to this one. It seems reasonable. Lastly number 5 – Whatever You Do, Try Not to Look at the Wound. You know darn well if someone tells you not to look, you going to look. I looked at my arms and legs right after I read that sentence just to be sure. Gave my limbs a little wiggle.. yup, still good. So now I am a little smarter, and I am armed with knowledge. Knowledge that I will never go in the ocean.

Genre: Thrillers | Literature & Fiction | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
A suicide bomber
A funeral
A new beginning
Captain Rayna Tan had served with Canadian Armed Forces for six years – three in General Forces and three with the secret elite Special Forces JTF2. A combat veteran in Afghanistan and Iraq, she had nineteen kills to her credit. Any jackass trying to force himself on her soon experienced Rayna’s black belt skills in Judo, Wushu & Tae Kwan Do.
When Islamic terrorists took four US and Canadian forward air controllers hostage during a blistering battle in Iraq, the Canada United States Expeditionary Targeting Force tasked American Navy SEAL Captain Jonathan Rogers to head their rescue mission. Jonathan had instructed Rayna in jungle warfare in the Philippines and was pleased she was on the team.
A murderous assault ensued as they entered the house containing the hostages. Jonathan sacrificed himself to save Rayna, tackling a young girl with a suicide vest and driving the two of them out a window as she detonated the charges.
When Rayna attended Jon’s memorial service in California, Jon’s billionaire father asked if she would take the position designated for Jon – covert operative in his shadowy vigilante organization, Fidelitas…
If you’re a fan of action heroes like Russell Blake’s JET, Brad Thor’s SCOT HARVATH, Vince Flynn’s MITCH RAPP, Mark Dawson’s BEATRIX ROSE or Tom Clancy’s JACK RYAN, Rayna’s action thrillers will keep you captivated long into the night.
Let Rayna take you on her explosive missions with their heart-stopping twists, fascinating locations and richly developed characters.
