Author Bio:
I came to fiction late-ish, publishing my first novel in 2015 at age 36. I swear, if I’d grown up in the smartphone age, I’d have started writing early. I had ideas for stories as a kid, but I was always too embarrassed to carry a notepad and pencil. So I forgot them all. Never let self-consciousness get in the way of your dreams.

But I got a whole lot of life experience along the way to 36. Just look at the wrinkles in my picture. That’s a dermatological record of law school, hospitalization, marriage, parenting, practicing law, getting a divorce, getting out of practicing law, single parenting. Etcetera.

That’s okay, because stories are about people. A burning car is a spectacle. A burning car with a person trapped inside is a tragedy. And you only learn about people – yourself and others – through hard-won experience.

Like escaping that burning car.



The Exiled Prince  

About The Exiled Prince

A secret masquerade hookup leads to complications with Rourke’s new boss.

Rourke: As a celebrity personal assistant, I pride myself on professionalism. When a mysterious stranger offers to show me the wonders of a clandestine sex club at the masked ball, I jump at the chance. Because no one will know me, right? One night. No names. No faces. It should have ended there. I had no idea that the handsome, enigmatic man would turn out to be my new employer.

Roman: After the masquerade, I searched for the girl who’d crashed my party, only to find her in my office a few months later. I can’t fire her because she’s the best assistant I’ve ever had, but I can’t stop wanting her in my bed either.

If you like tension, angst, and a good dose of sexy, then this book is for you.

HUSK  

About HUSK

It’s the all too near future, and eternal life is a commodity only available to the ultra-rich. Billionaires pay top dollar to exist in a virtual world once their bodies have failed them. However, this foray into immortality is not all it’s cracked up to be. Anyone who cheats death only wants to live again, itching to interact with the real world.

Young and handsome Rhodes is a Husk renting himself out to the wealthy who pay to inhabit his body while his consciousness sleeps. During these sessions some clients indulge in hard drugs, promiscuous encounters, and dare-devil behavior, all to feel the rush and pleasures of being alive again. Husking is a highly illegal and guarded secret, relegated to the black market. The penalties are severe, but the money and perks are extremely lucrative.

After repeatedly Husking for one particularly demanding client, Rhodes begins to suffer the mental toll for losing himself in his work. When strange schizophrenic visions and panic attacks start, he tries to get out of his cast-iron contract, but his employers won’t relinquish their asset. As the body counts rise, disturbing questions emerge, leading to grisly clues about his whereabouts while on the job. Finding himself pursued by the police and shadowy operatives, Rhodes begins to search for answers. It isn’t long before he learns the true cost of Husking…

John Ignatius Rigoli’s experiences as both a cradle Catholic and former US Naval officer informed his world view in a rather unexpected manner, opening his eyes to the proposition that those who seek power are the last people who should hold it. John is an unabashed social justice advocate, outspoken liberal, and a patriot -and he sees no dichotomy in this. As a talented and inquisitive amateur historian, John became interested in the stories of the earliest women in the Church.
Diane Cummings is a California girl, a UCLA alum, and is currently sweating in Atlanta, Georgia, with the world’s smallest Persian cat. Diane has worked as a radio reporter and a TV news director. Deciding that truth was too much stranger than fiction, she turned in her microphone and press pass and set about applying her passion for writing and editing to the world of literature. Diane has edited or ghostwritten more than 50 titles – and now she wants her name on the cover. The Vatican Chronicles Trilogy has encompassed six years of research and writing, and she hopes you enjoy Book 1 – The Mystery of Julia Episcopa as much as she has enjoyed writing it.



Midsummer’s Bottom  

About Midsummer’s Bottom

The Midsummer Players stage an outdoor version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream every year. The actors are dreadful and audience members almost never attend more than once. Except for…

…the fey folk!

All of the fairies named in the play are obliged to attend every performance, due to a deal that they struck with a mischievous Master Shakespeare. In an attempt to break up the Players on the eve of their twentieth anniversary, Oberon and Puck hire a human agent of chaos to infiltrate the actors’ ranks and set them against one another by focusing on secret attractions and grudges that have been lying dormant up to now. Sparks will fly, and everyone will come to blows, but it’s all executed with a wink and a grin, and there will be more smiles than tears by the end. At least, that’s the plan…

This comedic fantasy is for lovers of Shakespeare, chaos and fairies everywhere.

Killer Moves  

About Killer Moves

Everyone has a secret. Aisha Khatri has many!

Aisha’s life is seemingly mundane on the surface-she writes for television and takes care of her niece Kiara and her retired father. But when Kiara’s life is threatened during a modeling assignment for the famous Kabir Rana, once a suspect for his wife’s murder, the only way Aisha can save Kiara is by accepting the unique ability she has aggressively resisted all her life.

But Aisha is not the only one with secrets. There are others who have secrets and will kill to keep them. Aisha is determined to protect Kiara even if it means placing herself in the crosshairs of a depraved killer who butchers beautiful girls and leaves them as grotesque displays.

Is Kiara a target of a serial killer or is the killer closer to home–and Aisha’s heart?
Who is Kabir Rana? An elusive and moody fashion photographer burdened with a dark past or a murderer who got away?

How will Aisha save Kiara from a killer who is several steps ahead of an entire city’s police force? When the dead come calling, will Aisha answer?

From the bustling streets of Goa to the beautiful palaces of Sirsa, Killer Moves is a fast-paced, gripping, romantic suspense tale with strong thriller and supernatural elements.

Author Bio:
Abraham Luckey is an author, artists and musician from the United States. He began writing at the age of 13 and he published his first original novel, “Inner Sanctum: Reality,” at the age of 18. His goal is to provide young tweens and teens with exciting and adventurous novels that are clean and have positive messages of hope and overcoming life’s struggles through Jesus Christ.

Abe Luckey has this to say about his work with Inner Sanctum:
“I started writing the ‘Inner Sanctum’ series because, as a child, my parents had a difficult time finding something decent for me to read. It seemed everything that was geared toward boys always seemed to have crude humor, foul language or other types of inappropriate content. It was a shame because my mom and dad never had a hard time finding something clean for my sisters to read. Apparently people think that they need to put a bunch of disgusting jokes in a book in order for it to be considered a ‘boys’ book.
“Then I had a dream that changed my life. Needless to say, it was very strange and didn’t make much sense, yet at the same time, it inspired me so much that I knew I had to do something with it. I immediately wrote down the dream after I had it and started developing characters and story plots. It was originally going to be a movie but I eventually started making it a book instead. Over the course of the next three years, the story changed drastically from what it was originally…and I mean literally EVERYTHING changed. I now plan on using the original ideas that I had for the story as a prequel to the first novel.
After five years of writing, proofreading and LOTS of editing, the book was completed in late 2016. There was a company that was interested in publishing it, but we decided to go the self-publishing route instead.
“This series has changed my life forever. I have bonded with the characters and their storylines, to the point where they almost feel real to me. More than anything, my desire for the Inner Sanctum series is for it to help people who are hurting. I want people who are going through things like depression, anxiety or fear to read it and realize that they can overcome every struggle that comes in their way. As someone who has gone through a lot of personal battles myself, I want them to realize that they are not alone and that they can experience true victory as long as they ‘Don’t Stop Believing!'”
