Tactical 16 Signs P.B. Landon for “Just Only Slightly”

Meet Paul Talkachev, an average guy searching for the meaning of life. During one of his nervous breakdowns, Paul discovers he has a weak telekinetic ability and then hilarity ensues.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of P.B. Landon for Just Only Slightly. Landon’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website:  https://t16books.com/. 

Just only Slightly by author P. B. Landon. Tactical 16 Publishing.In this fictional comedy, the author paints a vivid picture of the humdrum life of main character, Paul Talkachev, a down-on-his luck guy living in New Jersey who discovers he is telekinetic. He can move and change objects without touching them and this is just the beginning as Paul sets out on a path of discovery and adventure.

“I set out to create a fun, voyeuristic story about Paul’s life with its blunders, adventures, small successes, and friendships,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “This story is a dark comedy banking on nervous energy amply supplied by Paul and the interactions of a man slowly dripping into madness trying to negotiate other people’s feelings and desires.”

A colorful cast of characters surround main character Paul. Lurch and Stephens, wealthy eccentrics, are on an all-out search for other “Exceptionals” with powers to join forces and conquer the world.  O’kiki, another quirky “Exceptional,” enters the picture early on, and she becomes Paul’s partner as they attempt to fight crime, pull off a robbery, and find ways to use their power for good.

P. B. Landon author of Just only Slightly. Tactical 16 Publishing.“P.B.’s story is such a fun and entertaining read,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His main character, Paul, will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Paul is so easy to relate to, and the story is a great escape from the everyday routine into a world of fantasy and mayhem!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene. His second book in the series is in the works and will be published soon as well.

Tactical 16 Signs GT Cleveland for
“Mother’s Day:  The Courage & Sacrifice of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines”

This poignant, personal story traces the story of “Lucky Lima,” the hardest-hit unit of the Iraq War.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of GT Cleveland for Mother’s Day:  The Courage & Sacrifice of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines.

Mother's Day: the Courage & Sacrifice of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines by author Taylor Cleveland. Tactical 16 Publishing.In his debut book, Cleveland gives a first-hand account of his time with the 3/25, known as “Lucky Lima,” in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His book is one of only a handful written telling the unit’s story. Cleveland’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website:  https://t16books.com/.

In 2005, Cleveland, a Navy Corpman (medic), deployed to Iraq with 179 fellow Reservists as part of 3/25, an Ohio-based Marine Reserve unit. After five months of relative quiet, enemy forces began launching attack after attack on the unit.

By the time the battalion went home in November 2005, it had lost more men than any other single unit in the war. Forty-six Marines and two Navy Corpsmen were killed in action during the unit’s roughly nine-month activation.

Taylor Cleveland author of Mother's Day: The Courage & Sacrifice of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines. Tactical 16 Publishing.“These young men weren’t Special Operators or even full-time soldiers,” said Cleveland, who served with the battalion from 2002 to 2006. “They were Reservists who in their civilian lives worked as teachers, nurses, police officers, paramedics, and Home Depot workers. This is a story about traveling from civilian to combatant in the worst possible scenario and back. My goal is to memorialize the men that I served with:  who they were, what they did and what it cost them.”

Cleveland, a police detective in Ohio with 25 years as a uniformed officer, plans to donate all proceeds from his book to Feed Our Vets, a non-profit providing food assistance to veterans and their families.

“GT’s story is so emotional and engaging,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His story provides deep insight into what happened to ‘Lucky Lima’ in Iraq, and is a tremendous tribute to the men who sacrificed everything to defend our freedoms.”

Taylor Cleveland was born and raised in Conneaut, Ohio, a small lakeshore community outside of Cleveland that his Nine Times Great Grand Father founded in 1796. He currently works there as a Police Detective.

After September 11th, Taylor volunteered as a United States Navy Reserves Corpsman. He deployed to the Al-Anbar Province of Iraq in 2005 as the senior line company corpsman for India Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment.

 He has been married to his wife, Louise, for 23 years. They have three children. Taylor is an avid supporter of Feed Our Vets, a non-profit organization working to feed Veterans in need in Ashtabula County, Ohio. All of the proceeds from his book will go to Feed Our Vets to support their mission.

Tactical 16 Signs Spencer Anderson for “Survive The Night”

Step back in time as WWII rages and a family faces down the worst of circumstances.

Colorado Springs, Colo. – – Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Spencer Anderson for Survive the Night.

Survive The Night by author Spencer Anderson. Tactical 16 Publishing.Themes of survival, fear, loss, faith, and comradery are woven into this historical fiction narrative set during WWII as the Third Reich stood on the verge of military defeat.

Anderson’s story begins in January 1944 and follows fictional character, Gus Bodine, a 20-year-old who joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as a B-17 pilot, and Addie, his wife back home. Bodine quickly finds himself going from living the American dream to being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war forced to endure the 86-day “Death March” across Germany during the harshest winter ever recorded in the country.

SS guards tortured more than 10,000 American and allied prisoners along with concentration camp prisoners from 1944 to 1945 during a forced trek through 900 miles of mountainous forests and war-torn lowlands in Germany. POWs faced scurvy, typhus, dysentery, hypothermia, starvation and often death during the long, unforgiving trek.

“My book traces the horrendous march that took so many lives and left many families back home dreading a knock on the door,” said Anderson, an 8-year Air Force Vietnam War veteran. “Not to worry, though, the story is full of laughter, tender moments, happy outcomes, and the antics of Highway, the dog.

Spencer Anderson is a U.S. Air Force Vietnam war veteran, former pilot, teacher and counselor, and an honorary Colonel in the Commemorative Air Force. His passion for aviation and aviation history is clearly seen in his writing.  Spencer is dedicated to keeping alive the legacy of the patriots who­ chose to fly and fight for our grateful nation in its most trying times.

Spencer Anderson is married to the love of his life Carole, and they live in St. George, Utah. For more information on Spencer’s books, www.warbirdtales.com.

My fictional thriller will have many readers asking: ‘How safe is an election if people are being programmed to win?’”

Politicians, influencers, and heroes across America become part of a twisted adventure filled with murder and scheming as the story unravels with every page turn.

“KA’s story is a nonstop, fast action mystery that doesn’t let up,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “This story is gripping from the start. The story line will keep you guessing until the very end!”

K.A. Brown spent 26 years as a firefighter and recently retired to pursue his passion for writing.
