Once Susan began writing she was instantly enthralled with the process.

Author Bio:
Erik Sturm grew up in Plumstead, South East London, on what he asserts is the right side of the Thames. He escaped to the City, via University, and was made unemployed in 2008, just as it was the height of fashion. Using his redundancy, he went in search of himself around the far east, but all he discovered about his true self was that he was broke. So, taking employment in first the middle east, then Brazil, he finally washed up in Bristol, UK, where he now works as a computer scientist. He attended a writing group in which a middle-class author from the home counties presented a Disney-Dickenson version of South-East London, distant from anything he recognized. Annoyed by the lack of veracity and with an ear for the poetry of ‘chav’ English, he was inspired to write ‘Up and up’, his first novel, a gritty crime-noir set in the London of his upbringing.

BloodGifted  

About BloodGifted

A serpent ring, a cursed legacy, and a vampire of her own, isn’t exactly what primary schoolteacher, Laura Dantonville, wished for on her birthday.

What would you do if you learned you were responsible for freeing your family from an ancient curse, especially if it involved getting dangerously intimate with a hundred-year-old vampire?

Just because he’s a jaw-dropping vision of male hotness doesn’t make it any easier.

Or does it?

Thrown into a violent underworld ruled by mystery, magic and murder, where rival vampire clans battle each other, primary school teacher, Laura Dantonville, must choose a guardian, one favoured by her powerful family.

Alec Munro looks forward to his independence, but with five years left in servitude must bow to his sire’s wishes to act as Laura’s guardian … or risk slavery forever.

He accepts, but getting Laura to willingly accept him is another matter.
He has three days to win her over before she makes her choice.

Torn between two worlds, Laura must decide to which world she belongs – human or vampire?

But as a white-hot sizzling attraction grows between her and Alec, the choice becomes even harder.

Can she survive long enough to make the right one?

Or will her fate – and that of her family – be decided by another, unexpected source?

Author Bio:
A former ancient historian and archaeologist, Tima Maria Lacoba accidentally smashed a 3,000 year-old Egyptian vase while on her first dig. Her supervisor made her glue it back together again. It took a week. From there she went on to specialise in Late Romano-British archaeology and the military forts along Hadrian’s Wall, because buildings don’t smash as easily. Now she’s combined her love of history with another passion – storytelling – to create a dark tale of Roman soldiers who’ve been waiting nearly two-thousand years to be released from an ancient curse.

Tima has always been a storyteller, but it wasn’t until five years ago that she seriously ventured into writing. The result was BloodGifted and Laura’s Locket.

In 2011 BloodGifted was shortlisted in the Atlas Award and eventually came fourth place.

In 2012 it was listed among the top ten in the Choclit Search for an Aussie Star Contest.

In 2013 Tima was offered a publishing contract but declined in favour of going indie, preferring to be in charge of her own creative work.

In 2017 BloodGifted was nominated for the Golden Stake Award in the International Vampire Film and Arts Festival.

Laura’s Locket, BloodGifted, BloodPledge and BloodVault, are the first four books in the Dantonville Legacy Series.
Book 5, BloodWish, is due for release later this year.

She also intends to satisfy her fans’ requests by writing individual books on the other characters who feature so prominently. Terens, Cal, Jake and Sam will each have their own story.

Currently, Tima lives on the Central Coast, an hour’s drive north of Sydney, in Australia.
Between bouts of writing, she can be found in the kitchen baking her favourite chocolate recipes, or in her garden pulling out yet more weeds.
These activities are responsible for forming more gothic, paranormal romance stories in her mind for future books.



Dead Cold by Jennifer Chase  

About Dead Cold by Jennifer Chase

What happens when one California community has a disturbing spike in homicides? It catapults cops into a deadly game of murder. Frozen human body parts hideously displayed at the crime scenes offers a horrifying interpretation that only a sadistic serial killer could design—and execute.

On the hunt for a complex serial killer, vigilante detective Emily Stone must face her most daring case yet. Stone’s proven top-notch profiling skills and forensic expertise may not be enough this time.

Young and ambitious, Detective Danny Starr, catches the homicide cases and discovers that it will test everything he knows about police work and the criminal mind. Can he handle these escalating cases or will the police department have to call in reinforcements—the FBI.

Emily Stone’s covert team pushes with extreme urgency to unravel the grisly clues, while keeping their identities hidden from the police. With one last-ditch effort, Stone dangles someone she loves as bait to draw out the killer. She then forces the killer out of their comfort zone with her partner Rick Lopez, and with help from a longtime friend Jordan Smith. A revelation of the serial killer’s identity leaves the team with volatile emotions that could destroy them.

The killer continues to taunt and expertly manipulate the police, as well as Stone’s team, and as they run out of time—they leave behind everyone and everything—in Dead Cold.

The Enemy Inside Me by Brandi Benson  

About The Enemy Inside Me by Brandi Benson

Brandi Benson had only recently come into her new life as a soldier in the U.S. Army when she was sent to wartime Iraq, just months after basic training. She forms a mental picture of the threats she might face, composed of M16s, hand grenades, and land mines. Her first encounter with a dangerous threat comes during an airplane ride to a hospital in Germany and ironically propels her toward an internal battle that leaves her reeling in shock. To Brandi’s surprise, this threat does not appear in the form of men with machine guns, but on a medical scan that reads, Ewing’s Sarcoma. Once a vibrant 24-year old wearing the picture of fitness and perfect health, Brandi faces a different type of war that requires new weapons: hope, faith, and strength.

The Enemy Inside Me is a poignant, yet true account of a young soldier’s fight with cancer, that begins miles away from enemy lines. Her journey is a gripping reminder that every moment is a gift and every breath is a blessing.

Why Tell the Truth: An Introduction to the Basic Ideas of Jordan B. Peterson  

About Why Tell the Truth: An Introduction to the Basic Ideas of Jordan B. Peterson

Having more than 300 hours’ worth of lectures online makes Peterson’s work a mountain so large that the climb seems impossible, save only for the fervent. Why listen to a man many have already labelled a charlatan, a self-help guru, or worse, an alt-right prophet? One reason is because most have not placed his popular teaching in the context of his own work. This is an introduction to Jordan B. Peterson’s ideas for the average person.
Based on the article shared and recommended by Jordan B. Peterson himself, Why Tell the Truth: An Introduction to the Basic Ideas of Jordan B. Peterson outlines, explains, and connects the basic ideas of Jordan Peterson in seven chapters:

THE PROBLEMS BEFORE US
PETERSON AND THE REVIVAL OF PRAGMATISM
OUR MAPS OF MEANING: MYTH, SCIENCE, AND HIERARCHY
THINKING CLEARLY ABOUT RELIGION: A PRELUDE TO PETERSON’S IDEAS ABOUT GOD AND FAITH
THE LIFE THAT JUSTIFIES SUFFERING
CULTURAL CONTROVERSIES: POSTMODERNISM, MARXISM, AND SPEECH LAWS
FINAL REMARKS

This book significantly revises, updates, and expands the original essay and includes new references in light of recently released interviews, debates, and articles. The reader will be introduced to how Peterson understands science to be based on a motivational understanding of reality; the ideas of chaos and order; his ideas concerning postmodernism, Marxism, hierarchies, religion, and more!

From the Foreword:
“Peterson’s huge popular appeal can easily be chalked up to his charisma, a ‘black box’ or occult entity that names his draw without really explaining it. Here again, however, attention to his understand- ing of truth proves instructive. As Lovins demonstrates in this book, Peterson’s more pragmatic understanding of truth maintains a tight connection between thought with practice. It is from the embodied manifestation of the power of this connection in Peterson’s teaching that much of the forceful appeal of his position arises. People, accustomed to encountering ‘truth’ in anaemic and enervated forms, are startled to attention when they see someone declaring truth as something vital and powerful, as something that is profoundly integrated into and animating of the life of its bearer.

While a weak notion of truth may serve us in our partisan ideological and political squabbles, faced with the reality of suffering, it will prove insufficient to sustain us. It is not accidental that Peterson’s vision has been forged in large measure upon the brutal anvil of totalitarian political forces in the twentieth century. In facing the problem of suffering, Peterson is not merely addressing the concerns of contemporary social and political discourse that tend to revolve around the maintenance of the complacency of a shallow consumerist comfort, but is unearthing dark corners of the human soul and emphasizing the need for self-mastery if we are to become people of integrity, people who can survive and overcome the worst that life and society can throw at us. Not content with encouraging persons to be well-adjusted members of a materialistic modern society, Peterson desires to equip us to withstand the sort of radical personal and social evil witnessed in communist and fascist countries over the last hundred years of history.

It should come as no surprise that a great many people who have been seeking direction and strength to endure personal suffering have found rich spiritual sustenance in the teaching of Peterson. As an alternative to the dry morsels of bread afforded by mere ideology, words of genuine truth prove life-giving and empowering.”
