Stopping in a charming smalltown seems like the perfect place to catch her breath and find herself. It’s too bad a certain fireman with a crooked grin and kind eyes could have her plans of self-discovery going up in a puff of smoke.

Trevor Mays is at a crossroads—figuratively. Still grieving the loss of his father, he was unceremoniously dumped by his fiancée, who quickly rebounded with his work rival. Just as he thinks things can’t get worse, he loses the captain’s promotion—to the man who stole his ex. He’s about to give up on ever smiling again when a curly-haired beauty with curves for days stumbles into his hometown.

With some help from the residents of Pinegrove, this pair will discover that much like the perfect fireworks show, love only needs a spark.

Book Blitz The Belmont by Anthony Cocco

Fiction

Date Published: February 28, 2025

Publisher: MindStir Media

The Belmont is a tale of a young man's struggles with a heartbreak he cannot get past, set against the backdrop of a bacchanalia-filled weekend centered around the 1998 Belmont Stakes horse race, which ended with a Triple Crown bid thwarted by a photo finish. During a long "weekend" spread out over six days and in three different states, a weekend fueled by alcohol and sexual tension, but also filled with reflective, heartbreaking, exhilarating, hilarious, and heartwarming moments, Tommy Cippolini embarks on a journey of self-discovery, experiencing just about every single human emotion along the way. In between episodes filled with anger and frustration, anticipation, anxiety, disappointment, sexual arousal and temptation, binge drinking, daringness and trepidation, hilarity and debauchery, and longing and sadness, Tommy confides in good friends, casual friends, strangers, and family members about his feelings and past trials and tribulations.

About the Author

My name is Anthony Cocco.  I’m 59 years old and a native of Malden, Massachusetts, but I’ve spent most of the last 21 years living about 20 miles north of Boston. Since 1997, I’ve worked in the financial services industry (some asset managers and some retirement services providers), in various roles, and recently started my fifth different job in that industry in February of 2025. Prior to that, I worked (out of college) in the health insurance field, mainly in customer and provider relations (three different companies in two different states—Massachusetts and Florida).

I am the fourth (and final) child born to the late Morris and Dorothy Cocco. I have two living (and one recently deceased) siblings, one brother and one sister (my eldest sister passed away suddenly in July 2024 at age 72).

I have no children of my own and have never been married, but I do have five nieces and nephews (3 of the former and 2 of the latter), two of which are the daughters of my late sister. Since I’m the only one of our parents’ kids to have remained living (for the most part) in Massachusetts, the rest of my family (except for some cousins) is somewhat spread out across the country.

I attended the State University of New York at New Paltz from 1984-88, where I earned a (largely unused) degree in Journalism (I wanted to be a sports broadcaster but got sidetracked when someone convinced me I needed to be a sportswriter instead). It wasn’t long before I realized that vocation wasn’t a good match for me, but my years at New Paltz weren’t entirely wasted because it was during that time when I met one of my lifelong friends, the guy who introduced me to the “Belmont Stakes crew”—his friends from his youth and from his undergrad college years. One of the main characters in my book is based on him, and all of the characters that make up the entire Belmont “tribe”, as I call it in the book, are based on his friends and other acquaintances.

Amber Macklin’s world is cruelly shattered when she loses her baby girl three months after her husband’s sudden death.

When Mike, a college friend of Bryce’s, stops by to visit, Amber senses a deadly secret behind his nice guy persona. She has a frightening dream that Mike is trying to kill her and recurring sleepwalking episodes where she draws detailed pictures of him torturing her. Deeply troubled, Bryce uses his ability to astral travel to investigate Mike and uncover his terrifying past. Mike has had his eye on Amber for some time, and when he learns that Bryce and Amber have become lovers, he is furious. Mike abducts Amber and takes her to his rural Georgia hideaway, and Bryce must rely on his astral abilities to track her down. But will he be too late?

Book Blast In Search of Recognition by Jim McAllister

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Jim McAllister will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

In Search of Recognition: The Story of Search and Rescue in British Columbia provides background on why and how organized volunteer search and rescue became a reality in the province, and how search and rescue evolved over many years to meet the increasing demands of finding lost people and rescuing those injured outdoors. The primary focus of the thousands of volunteers is to save the lives of persons lost or injured outdoors; training and fundraising for equipment and other costs also require time and energy. Through personal involvement and references, the author provides insights into how funding and other support for the volunteer service was achieved, through government, responsible agencies, organizations and individuals working together to find ways to assist those who strive "so others may live."

Read an Excerpt

As long as people have lived together, there has been some form of search and rescue. Family and community members would go looking for someone overdue from a hunting/gathering trip. A community member would be lost or injured in the backcountry, and the local sheriff would form a posse to search for and rescue the individual. Mariners would respond to sinkings and vessels in distress to save lives, long before maritime laws required such. With the advent of flight, pilots would keep their eyes open for missing persons or aircraft, and respond to pick up and transport injured people as the fastest way to get them to medical attention.

About the Author: Jim McAllister has been involved in search and rescue for over 45 years, starting as a volunteer member in the Rocky Mountains in 1977 with Golden and District SAR and then Cranbrook SAR. He became the SAR specialist for the Province of B.C. in 2002. In 2008, Jim retired from the provincial government as a director with Emergency Management British Columbia and became a volunteer director for special projects with the British Columbia Search and Rescue Association. Jim has been involved with many major projects: the establishment of Avalanche Canada, the updating of volunteer reimbursement rates, the establishment of health and safety guidelines, the formation of a joint health and safety committee, Swiftwater Rescue standards, sustainable funding for search and rescue and the establishment of the British Columbia Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial. Jim wrote a book on the last project, titled A Monument to Remember, and one on incidents, titled One Week in August: Stories from Search and Rescue in British Columbia.

Review of Last Tour At Sulphur Creek by Paul Avery Tindol

 

The Sulphur Creek Manor holds lots of secrets. Since it was built back in 1924 by a ruthless entrepreneur, the building has been a witness to countless crimes, controversies, and deaths, landing it with the reputation of one of the most haunted locations in the state of Oklahoma.
When paranormal investigators Andrea and Wes embark on the ghost tour led by the manor's obsessive owner and reluctant employee, they soon learn that something much darker than its history lurks behind the manor’s walls.

MY REVIEW:

ANDREA AND WES ARE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS WHO LIKE TO INVESTIGATE HAUNTED PLACES TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THEM. THEIR LATEST ADVENTURE TAKES THEM TO THE SULPHUR CREEK MANOR WHICH HAS MANY SECRETS. SINCE THE MANOR WAS BUILT, THERE HAVE BEEN ALOT OF CRIMES, CONTROVERSIES AND DEATHS. ANDREA AND WES ARE TAKEN ON A GHOST TOUR BY THE OWNER AND RELUCTANT EMPLOYEE.  WHEN STRANGE THINGS START TO HAPPEN, ANDREA AND WES GET REALLY CURIOUS AND START TO INVESTIGATE ON THEIR OWN. WILL THE SULPHUR CREEK MANOR REVEAL ITS HIDDENS SECRETS? WILL EVERYONE SURVIVE?

LAST TOUR AT SULPHUR CREEK IS A VERY CREEPY AND SCARY READ THAT HAS YOU LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER. PAUL AVERY TINDOL DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB IN DESCRIBING THE SPOOKY HOME.  I FELT LIKE I WAS REALLY THERE AT THE MANOR AND I WAS SCARED. I LOVE AUTHOR PAUL AVERY TINDOL'S WRITING AND LOOK FORWARD TO READING MORE OF HIS BOOKS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REALLY SPOOKY READ, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ LAST TOUR AT SULPHUR CREEK. YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP WITHOUT YOUR LIGHTS ON AGAIN. 5 STARS.
