About A Bond of Venom and Magic

A breathtaking fantasy romance, the first in a sensational new series by British author Karen Tomlinson.

Magic awakens. Darkness stirs. The Wraith Lord is hunting.

The war raging in the South seems a remote danger for seventeen-year-old Diamond Gillon until her home is brutally attacked by the Wraith Lord’s monstrous hunters. Catapulted into a terrifying new world where legendary beasts arise, magic is condemned, and half-blood fae like her have no rights, Diamond is inexplicably drawn to her saviour. But Commander Hugo Casimir is a ruthless elite guard owned by a cruel, immortal fae queen who will murder her own people for magic.

As she sinks deeper into Hugo’s world, Diamond’s circumstances become ever more perilous, for the Queen desires her magic and covets the very same prize as the Wraith Lord. To discover who she truly is, Diamond must escape the Queen’s clutches—before her fate, and that of The Eight Kingdoms, is sealed in shadow and chaos.

Will Hugo prove to be her friend, her protector, or an enemy not worthy of her trust?

A Bond of Venom and Magic is an epic fantasy tale, ideal for mature Young Adult readers. Fans of Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo will love to discover this spectacular new world steeped in dragons, monsters, and armoured winged warriors.

About Up on Game: From Robbing Banks to Stacking Bitcoin, My Involvement with Gangs, Bank Robbery, Prison, and Success in the Business World by Richard Stanley

In a crazy twist…Bank Robber Turns to Bitcoin and No Longer Needs Banks

The “Skinny Bandit”—a whiter-than-cocaine kid from the gang-filled streets of Otay in San Diego—who robbed banks to eat ironically no longer needs banks because of his steady success in Bitcoin trading and other cryptocurrencies.

Meticulous and calculating, Richard Stanley continually evaded capture and grew brazen with each additional bank heist in the early 2000s.

The robberies continued, and it appeared that the FBI would never catch the elusive yet polite robber who went from teller to teller saying, “Put the money on the counter…” and walked away with thousands in cash in a clear plastic bag.

Upon his sudden arrest, the shocking truth was finally revealed when this criminal mastermind who repeatedly outwitted authorities turned out to an eighteen-year-old kid from the Hispanic gang-filled streets of Otay in San Diego.

Why Did He Rob Banks?

The first time was for cash to buy a Taco Bell grande meal.

Today, the Skinny Bandit is a successful entrepreneur, in legit business in the adult marketing world and escorts and exotic dancers, and a day trader in Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Richard Stanley did his time—seven-plus years in Donovan, a rough Southern California prison, where he hustled to stay up on game and where he experienced the real Orange Is the New Black—and where he witnessed the worst horrors of the prison system, from guards killing inmates to rampant drug use and the lengths desperate people go to get what they need (such as snacks, drugs, cell phones, and warm clothing).

WARNING to readers: This book contains offensive language and graphic descriptions of criminal activity.

The Story of the Neighborhood Struggle

Richard Stanley recounts his tumultuous childhood of growing up in the dangerous neighborhood of Otay, surrounded by gangs, drugs, violence, and poverty.

His crimes started with petty shoplifting before graduating to bank robbery. After a short time, Stanley had perfected his craft and hit multiple banks. Each time, he and his crew evaded capture, but one critical mistake cost him everything. The FBI finally tracked him down, and Stanley was sentenced to hard time in one of Southern California’s worst prisons, but his story was only beginning.

Stanley details his time in prison and how he sold drugs from behind bars. He also illustrates what daily life was like in jail, his interactions with the other inmates, and the dark side of the correctional officers whose jobs are to maintain law and order. He wondered just who the criminals were—the guards or the inmates. Maybe both.

Making the Case for Prison Reform

After his release, Stanley learned the ropes of—and became very successful in—adult online marketing with exotic dancers and professional escorts where he was introduced to Bitcoin as a form of payment.

He schooled himself in Bitcoin trading and other cryptocurrencies. Although he doesn’t say he’s an expert, he’s moved up in the world to swanky Newport Beach, where his business is based, and where he lives a life far from the hellhole of the two-man prison cell at Donovan. [This book contains bootlegged graphic photos of prison life taken by the cellies behind bars.]

With his degree in “business” from one of California’s finest institutions where he was given a free ride in their eight-year program (with a seven-month sabbatical in solitude), Richard Stanley graduated from bank robbery to stacking Bitcoin as a legit entrepreneur and shares a vital message: People can change.

Author Bio:
Richard Stanley was raised in a lower income area of South San Diego. Although he was a high school dropout, he obtained a business degree as a serial entrepreneur—in bank robbery.

As acknowledgment of his work in the banking industry, he was graciously accepted into an institution of higher education operated by the California state prison system to further his studies in the criminal justice field with a full-ride scholarship for no less than seven years, out of a possible eight.

During his tenure at the Donovan campus, he specialized in a course in hustling and earned an informal degree in procuring life’s necessities and wilderness survival skills. For his efforts, he was rewarded with a sabbatical of sorts and was allowed seven months of personal time in solitude for reflection to just appreciate life. He was off the grid, so to speak, and not allowed cell phones, laptops, or even eating utensils at times. Although Stanley initially declined the retreat time, the institution insisted he spend time in a remote part of campus.

Because most employers would not recognize his degree in higher education, Stanley found it difficult to obtain employment in any field once he left his educational institution. He eventually became an ironworker until he was sidelined with an injury. Using his entrepreneurial skills and exclusive state-funded education, he developed more conventional ways to hustle and currently serves as a consultant to business leaders on the adult marketing world and is co-owner of the online classified website, freevurse.com.

He also has become a day trader in Bitcoin and Litecoin because he has vowed to never rob a bank again, and now with cryptocurrency, he will never need a bank again.

Stanley lives in Newport Beach, California, with his girlfriend and her daughter. He enjoys the finest marijuana and excellent Southern California red wine.

About Reversed: A Memoir

Nicholas was once labeled:“He’s the worst child I’ve seen in 20 years of teaching.”
Destination: Oxford PhD.
Can a child’s fate be sealed by the age of seven?
Every parent has high hopes for their children. When Lois Letchford learns her son has been diagnosed with a low IQ at the end of grade one, she refuses to give up on his future.
After thorough testing, Nicholas proves to have no spatial awareness, limited concentration, and can only read ten words. Although discouraged, Lois knows things have to improve. After all, her son is young, and every child learns at their own pace.
But once Nicholas is labeled “learning disabled,” a designation considered more derogatory than “dyslexia,” the world of education is quick to cast him aside.
Determined to prove them all wrong, Lois temporarily removes her son from the school system and begins working with him one-on-one. She has no formal reading education herself, and no one to guide her. But she has hope and the strength of will to persevere. And sometimes that’s all you need.
What happens next is a journey—spanning three continents, unique teaching experiments, never-ending battles with the school system, a mother’s discovery of her own learning blocks, and a bond fueled by the desire to rid Nicholas of the “disabled” label.
Reversed is a memoir of profound determination that follows the highs and lows of overcoming impossible odds, turning one woman into a passionate teacher for children who have been left behind. Nothing is impossible when one digs deep, and looks at students through a new lens.

Author Bio:
Lois Letchford specializes in teaching children who have struggled to learn to read through numerous commercial programs. She has worked with students of all ages in Australia, England, and Texas. Her creative teaching methods vary depending on the reading ability of the student, employing age-appropriate, rather than reading-age-appropriate, material. Lois writes poetry, empowering her students to see themselves as authors. When her students have been exposed to a wider range of texts, she returns to existing conventional material to re-engage students, who become active, involved learners ready to re-enter the traditional classroom confidently. Several of her most challenging students have eventually gone on to graduate from college.

Her non-traditional background, multi-continental exposure, and passion for helping failing students have equipped her with a unique skill set and perspective. Originally a physical education teacher, she later completed a Master’s in Literacy and Reading from the State University of New York at Albany. Lois has presented her work at The California Reading Association, Michigan Summer Institute, and New York State Reading Association conferences. She is co-president of the Albany City Reading Association and a member of the Australian College of Education.

Lois continues to work with students to provide education and support to their teachers. While she continues educating teachers and parents on how to teach struggling readers, she has also recently finished Reversed: A Memoir, the story of her son’s—and her own—learning disability.

About Silicon Burning

Dark Skies. Streets bathed in digital light. Figures of flesh and steel shuffling through the shadows. The stench of corruption and greed in the air. A new breed of terror has been born and is stalking the streets of London.

The year is 2045. Nearly thirty years have passed since a devastating nuclear terrorist attack that changed the world forever. The population of Britain is kept in-line by Mother Mind; an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Virtualife Corporation. Machines have become more humanlike, and humans more machine-like. The gap between rich and poor has grown ever wider, resulting in a split in the species into humans and cybernetically-enhanced Transhumans.
Hatred for the transhumans has created a monster; Jack-21. A serial killer, dissecting cyborgs for their implants. But his latest victim is not just another street rat, but rather a member of the renegade hacker group; Spiritform. The ones responsible for a cyber attack on Virtualife that has sent shockwaves throughout the corporate world. The secret he was murdered for lie within a collection of stolen files. Now the race is on to uncover those secrets.
Two corporate police officers from competing companies work together to hunt down Jack-21. Meanwhile, Virtualife hires a private investigator to recover their stolen data before the surviving members of Spiritform decrypt the files and reveal the truth.

About Bloodhunter by Laken Cane

First he tried to kill her. Now he’s obsessed with her.

Six years ago Trinity Sinclair was the victim of a brutal vampire attack. The assault changed her into something she has only recently begun to understand, and connects her in unimaginable ways to her attacker.

But the dominating vampire who attacked her doesn’t want to kill her. He wants to keep her alive.
Unfortunately, keeping Trinity alive won’t be easy when nearly every vampire in existence wants her dead.

As a Bloodhunter, she is one of the very few humans in the world who can give a vampire his true death–and there is nothing worse or more terrifying to a vampire than true death.

Luckily for Trinity, she doesn’t have to fight alone. She has a special sword and six protective people at her back– The vampire master who attacked her, a mysterious hunter, and four incredible–and hot–supernaturals.
And she is as passionately drawn to them as they are to her–emotionally and physically.

Her unquenchable thirst for blood is matched by a primal, undeniable lust, and Trinity realizes she is in more danger of losing her heart and soul than she ever was of losing her life.

About Dodge By Dodge Carter by Trevaris Anderson

Dodge Carter always wanted to be a writer like his mother—inspiring the world with, both, his weekly columns in The Gainesville Sun and his award-winning novels. But after graduating from university in 1927, he decides a change of scenery is what he needs and moves to New York to be closer to his aging grandmother. Living just outside of New York City in Mount Vernon, he, immediately, falls in love with the beauty and atmosphere of the surrounding countryside—away from the commotion on the other side of the Broadway Bridge. During this time, he grows closer to his eccentric Grandma Florence, finds work at a local construction site, and begins adjusting to his new life. It doesn’t take long, however, for the style and corruption of the Roarin’ Twenties to make itself known across the bridge. While living in Mount Vernon, Dodge Carter meets a gorgeous woman from the city—Ms. Vivienne Chambers—and feels for her the rush of a new love. As the two become acquainted, Dodge Carter is forced to leave behind his new home, and its tranquility—due to some unforeseen events—and take up residency in the fast-paced New York City. From there, the drama continues, and Dodge sinks deeper and deeper into turmoil.
