Johnny Tregalis leaves home the minute he turns eighteen, but he's the only one who knows why... Arriving in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Johnny has nothing-not even a plan. Local veterinarian Jackson Everett notices the boy, who reminds him of his own teenage son, and offers him a bed for the night. Meeting Jackson's wife Graye, his son Jared, and four-year-old daughter Bryce, Johnny sees a family he could never imagine. He'd been raised by his abusive father after his mother disappeared with his younger brother, and he's sure he'll be packed off to a shelter in the morning. He can't believe it when he's invited to stay indefinitely. Johnny refuses to discuss his traumatic past as he attempts to fit in... The Everetts try to help the profoundly troubled teen, but he seems to be at the mercy of his own mind. He's held captive by flashbacks, excruciating night terrors, and a mounting inability to distinguish delusion from reality. How can he possibly recover, go to school, have friends...have a life? Physical scars only hint at deeper psychological devastation... As the shocking truth comes to light, Johnny struggles to overcome years of abuse, poverty, and despicable horrors to become part of a real family, but is he strong enough to defeat his demons? The Everetts realize Johnny's journey is now their own, but they face a daunting task. How much sacrifice is too much when all you can hope for is keeping the tarnished?

Espionage was nothing new to Captain Larry McGraw and the crew of the USS Charlotte, a Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine. But this mission certainly was. Docked onto the hull of his sub was the new, state-of-the-art Advanced SEAL Delivery System, complete with 16 highly trained SEALs. Orders from the White House were simple, yet clear. Penetrate the Bo Hai Bay--a mere hundred miles from Beijing--and linger while the SEALS conduct nighttime missions. Simple, as long as they weren't detected. But if spotted inside the shallow bay, the orders were clear. McGraw couldn't let the Charlotte or the ASDS fall into Chinese hands, even if it meant destroying both. Time Bomb Ticking is Book 1 of the Die-Hard Patriots, a Political Thriller Series.
