The Brown Sahebs tells the story of India as it put on the clothes of a democracy while its body and soul remained a colony’s.

The novel depicts the final phase of India’s freedom struggle, the opulent but troubled lives of rulers, the emergence of Oxford and Cambridge-educated leaders who were friends with the British, the new capital of India which came to be known as Lutyens’ Delhi and life in India in that slow-paced time. It also brings to life the influence India’s leaders had over the uneducated and impoverished masses who created a groundswell of popular resistance against British rule. Among these great men was Gandhi who finds a special place in the novel but was consigned to be a portrait on the walls of free India. ….

Jason Bradshaw has had a passion for adventure, history and writing for most all of his life; culminating in the writing of his first novel “Beneath Creek Waters.” Besides writing numerous articles for various newsletters and publications, Bradshaw is currently completing his second installment to his novel series, titled series “Beneath Gulf Waters,” after which he will begin work on a new series, “The Hobbyist” expected to be completed in 2015. Bradshaw has also co-written two screenplays with Todd Rodgers titled “Red Eye” and “Shadow Ops.” He is an avid diver, and enjoys flying, hiking, surfing and has a general love for the outdoors. Jason currently resides in Texas with his wife and two young sons.

 

Jason Bradshaw, brings the adventure to Texas!

jasonBradshawbookIn 1845, 200 gold coins were minted to commemorate Texas’ entry into the United States. Slated to be given to all major players that helped Texas into the Union, the coins were loaded onto a wagon on a rainy night, near Dallas, Texas and never seen again. Over a century later, traces of the coins resurface, after a couple of kids stumble upon what appeared to be one, in a Southeast Texas creek.

News of the find reach Parks Leslie and Stan Atcher, treasure hunters and historians, always looking for their next big find, and long-time seekers of these coins. Parks and Stan’s interest proves to be an unexpected journey, tangled with blood history ties, new friendships and near-death experiences, calling for sacrifices no one could have predicted.

The Guardian of
Genghis Khan’s Tomb

by Michael B. Hickland

Available on Amazon

 

The wisdom of Genghis Khan was manifested in all his accomplishments. He came from one of several nomadic tribes occupying an area of Central Asia plagued by drought. Game had become scarce and farming almost nonexistent. Before becoming the Great Conqueror, he was namedTemujin. His father had been a chieftain of the Kiyad and was murdered by another clan. Temujin recognized early on that the ongoing conflict among the tribes would end badly for all. Strong and ruthless, he was a brilliant military strategist who made the necessary alliances to build a small army. With it he set about conquering each of the warring tribes and bringing them under his banner.

 

In 1227 the Great Conqueror died. Since then, finding the Tomb of Genghis Khan has been the obsession of tyrants, adventurers and treasure hunters alike. All have failed. It is a Genghis Khan fact that, looking at a map today, he had conquered a geographic area which would include 30 countries and 3+ billion people. The legend says that, in order to keep his tomb’s location secret, Genghis Khan slaughtered hundreds if not thousands of his captives after they had been forced to dig his burial site. He had amassed untold wealth with enormous quantities of jewels, gold and silver from his conquests which is believed to be buried with him.
So why hasn’t his crypt been found in almost eight hundred years? In Michael B. Hickland’s The Guardian of Genghis Khan’s Tomb, the Great Conqueror extracts a sacred oath from a special advisor. It binds both this trusted counselor and his family forever to protect the tomb and the most immense treasure ever known…….
