An intense, timely, and topical political thriller, The Hornbrook Prophecy poses an all-too-plausible question: What would happen if the US government suddenly went bankrupt? Protagonist Henley Hornbrook, an independent US Senator from Washington, fights against unscrupulous President Winston Dillard until a nationwide tax revolt threatens to plunge the country into chaos. As tensions escalate, the power-hungry President blames Hornbrook for the national crisis. Hornbrook, his aide, former Special Forces Major Eagle McCall, and their neighbors soon find the sanctuary of their quiet rural valley homes shattered, and their very lives at risk, at the hands of an angry, violent, mob army.

A panicked President Dillard escalates the calamity with desperate executive orders, pushing the teetering democracy to the brink of collapse. But when a dramatic bipartisan twist thrusts him suddenly and reluctantly into the White House, Hornbrook unveils a stunning plan that will forever change the nation and preserve its destiny.

In this taut, tense, uncompromising novel of suspense, author Robert V. Wickes deftly blurs the lines between fiction and reality leaving readers to wonder whether The Hornbrook Prophecy is fiction, or prediction. From its ominous Prologue set in ancient Rome to the shocking final scenes in the nation’s capital, The Hornbrook Prophecy reveals an uncomfortably and terrifyingly-real plot that will leave readers captivated until the final, explosive pages.

Addicted at 10 by Derek Steele

How I Overcame Addiction, Poverty and Homelessness to Become a Millionaire by 35 by Derek Steele

 About the book ~

 

Derek Steele, suffering from parental neglect and abuse, was eight when he got drunk for the first time. His story goes downhill fast from there: he was addicted to pot by age 10, dealing drugs by 14, hooked on meth and crack cocaine by 16, arrested for felony forgery by 19, unemployed and living out of a car at 20. Then, after a moment of clarity – and with aid from God, mentors and twelve step programs — he turned his life around just as dramatically. By 35, he was a multi-millionaire, happily married, with two beautiful children.

His inspiring story, told fully in Addict at 10, serves as a model for others seeking to overcome the pains of the past in order to find joy and fulfillment in the present and future. The book also educates readers about addiction; the road to recovery; and the importance of God, twelve step programs, therapy, and service to others.

About the author ~ 

Derek Steele was eight when he got drunk for the first time. His parents thought it was funny. By the age of ten, coping with abuse and neglect, he was addicted to pot. He began dealing drugs in junior high, and by 16 he was also hooked on meth and crack cocaine. He dropped out of high school, landed briefly behind bars and by 20 was homeless, unemployed and hiding from a violent dealer he’d swindled.

Then, during what he thought would be the biggest drug deal of his life, Derek had a moment of clarity. He vowed to change. With the help of God, mentors and a twelve step program, he conquered his addictions, came to terms with his parents’ neglect, and began a new life.

Now Derek, who’s founded several companies, is a highly successful businessman and a loving husband and father. Since achieving financial freedom with the sale of his third enterprise in 2007, he’s pursuing his life mission – sharing his experience, strength and hope as a speaker and author.

Derek hopes Addict at Ten will help readers understand how to keep pains of the past from impeding fulfillment in the present and future. He also hopes to educate people about addiction; the road to recovery; and the importance of God, twelve step programs, therapy, and service to others.

Derek is a volunteer for Covenant House and a board member of Teen and Family Services. He lives in Missouri City, Texas, with his wife Becky and their two children.
