Here’s What I’m Giving Away Today:

https://ravereviewsbynonniejules.wordpress.com/rrbc-2017-springtime-book-blog-block-party/

In case you don’t know I have three books published which constitute the John J. Cannon Trilogy.

The first of the series:

Click for Amazon

John J. Cannon successful San Francisco lawyer takes a well-deserved leave of absence from the firm and buys a boat he names My GRL. He is unaware that his newly purchased boat had already been targeted by a terrorist group. John’s first inkling of a problem is when he wakes up in the hospital where he learns he was found unconscious next to the dead body of the attractive young woman who sold him the boat in the first place. John now stands between the terrorists and the success of their mission. My GRL is priced at $.99 for the Kindle version.

Click for Amazon

The characters from My GRL continue to His Revenge (Book II) and on to Our Justice.(Book III) In His Revenge, John seeks to atone the killing of Gerry Starnes, the woman who sold him My GRL. The action moves from Port Aransas to California and on to Ecuador. His enemy Matt Jacobs has a twisted idea that John would make an excellent spokesperson for the terrorist group. He figures out a way to get John to cooperate on a plan that is designed to embarrass the President and wreak havoc on the oil industry. John must pretend to go along hoping he can create a way to get revenge. The question remains who will get the revenge?

Our Justice is the final story in the trilogy. John has been keen on bringing Matt Jacobs to justice. Matt has been keen on getting John to help him in a plot to assassinate the President. He plans to use John’s hero status to get close to the President to do his duty work. Both Matt and John feel their cause is right and both want justice extracted in their favor. We must see who in fact achieves Justice, Matt, John or neither?

Thank you so much for the visit, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the Rave Reviews Springtime Book & Blog Block Party.
