DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe extraordinary, touching true story of Smoky, the smallest--and arguably bravest--dog of World War II In February 1944, as Japanese military advances threatened to overwhelm New Guinea, a tiny, four-pound Yorkshire Terrier was discovered hiding in the island's thick jungles. A total mystery as to her origins, she was adopted by US Army Air Force Corporal William "Bill" Wynne, an air-crewman in a photo reconnaissance squadron, becoming an irreplaceable lucky charm for the unit. When Smoky saved Wynne's life by barking a warning of an incoming kamikaze attack, he nicknamed her the "angel from a foxhole." Smoky's exploits continued when she jumped for the unit in a specially designed parachute and famously joined the aircrews flying daring sorties in the war-torn skies. But her most heroic feat was running a cable through a seventy-foot pipe no wider than four inches in places to enable critical communication lines to be run across an airbase which had just been seized from the enemy, saving hundreds of ground-crew from being exposed to enemy bombing. In recognition of her efforts, Smoky was awarded eight battle stars. Smoky the Brave brings to vivid life the danger and excitement of the many missions of World War II's smallest hero.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK'Then we were up in the air; I tried to move around but was restrained. I really was special - they even took me flying!' William certainly was a special goat and here he tells his story of the time he spent looking after his boys of 609 (West Riding) Squadron of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force from 1941-1945. With a little help from Brian Waite, who interjects here and there to fill us in on some of the details, we get an amazing picture of what this special, morale-boosting creature experienced as the official mascot and the highest ranking officer to serve with 609 (West Riding) Squadron. Brian Waite was born in Grantham and was educated at the local King's School and at Loughborough College of Physical Education. Following a decade teaching in Kent, he was commissioned into the Royal Air Force. He commanded 609 (WR) Squadron as a Reservist, where he 'found' William. He is married to Louise and lives in North Yorkshire.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA bored Ravenswind witch is a dangerous witch, indeed. With Amie and Opie away at a bounty hunter seminar, and Arc working crazy long hours at the firm, I'm left to my own devices. And just for the record, I totally should have been going to that event too. Not that I'm bitter about that or anything. Well, not too bitter, anyway. And wouldn't you know it, but not just one but both of our bonds agencies were fresh out of work. Or at least, that's what they told me. Personally, I think Amie had a bit to do with that. Like I can't handle chasing down a bond runner on my own or something. So there I was, with three whole days to myself to fill up, and absolutely nothing to fill them with. Until I found out that my good friend, Mabel Morgan, was being blackmailed. Now I'm on a case all by my lonesome. I'll show them that Ruby Ravenswind is a witch not to be messed with. And one that could handle herself just fine, thank you very much. I'll show them all. Yorkie Doodle Dandy is a short Gemstone Coven Paranormal Cozy Mystery Novella. No murder. Just a light, fun, how to prove they done it kind of mystery, starring none other than Ruby Ravenswind and her faithful familiar, Yorkie Doodle.

Now I have to spend an entire week helping her restock her shelves with spell bags and potions. The timing was actually good, though, because there were some weird things going on at Mom's shop. Things moving around in the middle of the night, my little sister Nancy acting strange, and a new scraggly-looking mutt hanging around the back lot. A whole lot of weird. Okay, so maybe the dog wasn't really weird. All that, coupled with my faithful little Yorkie Doodle not being quite himself... well, I was more than a little stressed out. Then I started wondering if all the weird things weren't somehow related. If they were, then all things kind of pointed at Nancy as the center.

Yorkie Doodle Sweetheart is book two of the Yorkie Doodle Mystery Series. A fun-filled adventure with not a single dead body! Please note this is a short novella, not a full-sized novel. Just a quick, fun read to brighten your day!
