About Obake Neko (Ghost Cat) A Pacific Tale by David Michael Gillespie

It begins with a disappearance…
In the waning days of World War II, the Obake Neko is the last surviving Sen-Toku—a huge secret aircraft-carrier submarine created by the Imperial Japanese Navy. As the war comes to an end, the Obake Neko sets sail back to Japan with a cargo of unimaginable value. In the chaos of Japanese surrender, the clandestine vessel and its crew vanish in the seas of the South Pacific.
Fifty-five years after the war’s end, former U.S. Navy pilot, Bud Brennan breaks into Pearl Harbor’s submarine museum in Hawaii. Bud’s son, Mike, is still raw from the death of his wife and grappling with a new career but still jumps in to help his dad.
But when Bud’s antics garner the attention of the Navy’s JAG, Mike realizes his father may possess knowledge about the near-mythical Obake Neko and its fabled cargo—knowledge that is also of great value to the Japanese Yakuza.
Now, Mike must scramble to learn the whole truth of his father’s decades-old connection with the legendary Japanese submarine and fight to defend his father from relentless military authorities and deadly Yakuza operatives.
Even decades later, the Obake Neko and its legendary cargo are still worth killing over. Can Mike discover the truth and protect his dad before deadly assailants succeed in silencing Bud forever?

About DEADLY CONSEQUENCES by Robert E. Marx

Someone … or something … is stalking the citizens of Miami.
First, the chief of the triage morgue at Dade County Hospital is strangled; the skulls of two homeless men are crushed under a highway overpass, followed by drug dealers, frat boys and workers at a local diner brutally bludgeoned.
Detectives Issy Ruiz and Andy Molinaro can find no motive, no clues and no links among the victims, just a description of four muscular young men with fixed eyes and stiff gaits as though animated by some otherworldly force.
Amidst a growing public panic and an anti-cop smear campaign by the media, with no leads, Molinaro and Ruiz turn to Dr. Robert Merriweather, one of the country’s most prominent forensic oral and maxillofacial surgeons and Issy’s old boss, for help.
With the dogged brilliance that has become his trademark, Merriweather begins investigating possible scientific explanations for this unexplained “zombieism”. Along the way, he finds links between the murderers’ conditions and his own patient, a Haitian man practiced in the art of voodoo; he also realizes there’s a much larger, more nefarious force behind the zombie murders. As Merriweather slowly begins to untangle an unholy alliance of Big Pharma, ex-military and corrupt scientists, he risks losing a dear friend—the woman he loves—and possibly even his own life.

I started writing around the time I entered grade two. It was thanks to my second grade teacher that I fell in love with writing. Ever since then I have been working on short stories and novels. Under A Crimson Sky was my first published novel. I first had the idea after as I was personally dealing with loss in my family. Besides writing in my spare time I love reading, swimming and hiking in the beauty of the world. I have especially taken my love of nature and used it to fill my world with all kind of forests, plains and mountains that at times I wish were real so that I could lay my own eyes upon them. I hope that you too will love both the world and the story that I have constructed for all to enjoy.

About Fall for Me Again

Love isn’t something I deserve. Not after everything I’ve done.

None of the women in my life were there for the right reasons.

Not my wife, who I married for convenience and to shut my father up.

And not the beautiful girl from my childhood that I used from time to time when it pleased me to do so.

Not a single one of them. I’ve burned so many bridges and broken far too many hearts.

And yet, fate has a way of fucking with a fellow.

As CEO of my father’s billion-dollar publishing firm, I’m always looking for great writers, and a new one just showed up.

My high-school fling.

Not that I expected a warm reunion, but this delicious tart is having none of it. No matter what I do to push.

I’m a different man now, and I want a love affair to fulfill my life. The kind most people only dream of.

It’s the holiday season, and I have one wish.

To find the right woman for me and my son to spend our lives with.

Crazily enough, she’s sitting across the proverbial negotiating table, looking for a job.

Little does she know, she’s got the job, the ring, the future–if she wants it.

I just need to convince her to fall for me again.

About They Never Told

What’s your secret? Don’t say you don’t have one, because you do. We all do. Sometimes our secrets liberate us internally, but sometimes they enable us. They enable us to live unconsciously in our deepest thoughts. Sometimes we tell, and sometimes we don’t. That’s the thing though, what is it that helps us decide when to remain silent or talk? That’s what They Never Told is about. Monica engages the reader by introducing you to the journey of four (4) adults who are survivors of childhood sexual assault. Each person tells a story spanning from childhood to present that introduces you to their world. To a world that others can relate to as their own. To a world that is sometimes up, sometimes down, and oftentimes reflective. To a world that contains potential answers for our future. They Never Told, is about bridging the communication and trust gaps between youth and adults. What we are finding is that the actual rate of childhood sexual assault is much higher than what’s reported. Why is that? What is keeping our children from telling a dark secret? Is it trust? Is it fear? Or is it much deeper than that? This book is aimed at making you think critically about your personal relationships with the youth and survivors in your life. This is a book for parents, teachers, grandparents, and young professionals.

About Shade

Finalist Award in the 2015 National Indie Excellence Book Awards, Young Adult Fiction Category.

Shade: Girl on a hero’s journey, going from smart-ass to badass.

Thanks to her offbeat mother, Shade’s full name is Galactic Shade Griffin. Having a name like that while being the new girl in school is pretty much catnip for bullies. The summer before Shade’s junior year of high school, her mother breaks up with yet another boyfriend and moves them once again to a new town.

This time, they move into a dilapidated old house where Shade has an entire attic bedroom to herself—at least until she discovers it’s haunted by the ghost of a teenaged boy named Brandon Yates. When Shade’s best friend goes missing, her life becomes even more complicated. With the help of Brandon who’s struggling with his own issues in the world beyond, Shade faces the question of whether or not she has what it takes to become a true hero.

Although this novel deals with a number of serious issues—drug and alcohol abuse, cutting, and disturbing world events—it’s primarily a novel about a teenaged girl finding out who she really is and that she’s capable of so much more than she ever thought possible.
