Third Time's a Charm: Vol. 3 Stone-Government Agent

by Ruth Ford Elward

THIS IS A NEW EDITION OF THIS ITEM Stone - Government Agent 'Third Time's a Charm' Stone was on his knees in front of a man who had orders to shoot him in the head and dump his body in the sewer. He didn't think his life could get any worse than this. He'd been locked in what could be described as a dream that put him in Los Angeles in 1937, where he was shot at by loyal members of the United States Army and cornered in a room full of nerve gas canisters. Then there was the mock-up of the Oval Office and being on the wrong end of four heavy machine guns stitching tracer bullets through the night sky. What could all of this possibly mean? As if that wasn’t enough, his boss then sends him on a suicide mission to rescue the United States from death and degradation, less than 2 hours after being married. Stone at least had a chance to say goodbye to his new wife, knowing she'd be a widow before the week was out. But this is what Ernie Stone does for a living. He's a former Ranger with three tours of duty in Afghanistan and a huge number of black op missions behind him. He'd never before fought to protect a prize as valuable as the freedom of the entire Nation.

My greatest joy is to be able to lose myself in my writing and give my readers an array of suspense filled Mysteries and Thrillers. These include plots against a government, solving crimes, creating black op missions, finding a long lost artifact that could change the world or thwarting a plot to regain a kingdom. A variety that will satisfy the most discriminating palette for mysteries.”

After years in the business world between managing a division for an international financial printing company, modeling in her spare time and later to performing esthetic and laser treatments, Ruth found her real passion lies in the world of writing for which she does full time.

“Writing keeps the mind sharp and gives me the opportunity to exercise my imagination to engage the reader,” offers Ruth, who lives in Colorado and enjoys biking, golfing and ballroom dancing in her spare time.
