The Devil’s Hunger  

About The Devil’s Hunger

Henry Leighton, known as the Daylesford Devil by the press and dubbed “Lucifer” by the locals, has been sitting in a prison cell for the best part of 20 years, sentenced to life imprisonment for the torture and murder of 14 women. Each one had been preyed upon by a monster that fed on the flesh of his victims, the peaceful country towns reeling from the terror that had stalked their communities. Now, on the eve of the first victim’s 20-year anniversary, a new killer has taken up where the Devil left off, his victims dying in the same horrific circumstances as his predecessor’s. The trademark signature initially kept hidden from the world has returned, announcing its horrific return with bloody consequences.

The authorities have no leads, no clues and no time as they enlist the help of the original police officer, Jim Ploughman, now a respected and sought-after psychiatrist, who felled the devil the first time. Has Lucifer truly returned, killing from behind the walls, or is another vying for his title? Only Jim can face the devil and hope to learn his secret. Together with the young and beautiful police constable, Stephanie Connor, Jim is fighting the devil, the clock and the hierarchy, to piece together the clues and end the killing before another fall’s victim.

The Devil is back, and it’s not your soul he wants to feed on.

Author Bio:
I have been writing for a number of years but only made the decision to write and publish my first novel in 2018. The idea for my second novel, The Devil’s Hunger, came to me while working in a maximum security prison unit. I was watching a notorious serial killer go about his day to day routine and began wondering what would happen if he could break out and kill again, but then get back into jail undetected. It made for a very interesting story and I am looking forward to it’s sequel later this year.
I also love the thrill of roller coasters and adrenalin-fueled activities, as well as photography when I want to escape the hustle and bustle. But above all, I enjoy escaping into some new world that lives inside my head, watch it come alive through the words on my screen, and then see the world shine in another person’s eyes.

About (Crime Thriller) Celestial Summoner: An Esoteric Paranormal Suspense Thriller

*FREE January 7th*
Death has gripped the throat of middle America

Random people are being heinously murdered, with the bodies displayed in the most horrific way.
Detective John Chandless is a thick-skinned officer from New York who had apprehended the most depraved men in the barrios. Perhaps he had underestimated the the evil in the heart of the country. Kansas shouldn’t be so harsh compared to the City, but murder has no favorite state. How could this veteran detective be stumped?

partner, Simin Khouri, was a “unique” detective to say the least. She used psychic profilers to solve her cases. Although her conviction rate was just as good as anyone else’s, John didn’t believe in her “hocus-pocus” techniques. He worked with facts until this troubling case didn’t provide any. What do you do when there is no evidence? He grudgingly asked Simin for assistance, and she was glad to give it.

Simon introduced him to Anezka Kranz, her Czech psychic profiler. Could this sweet, simple woman help his case? Although John had investigated the most perplexing cases for 17 years, Anezka showed him another way to find his predator — celestially.

Celestial Summoner: An Esoteric Paranormal Suspense Thriller Is filled with dark excitement, and begins with a whodunit situation that can only be resolved with the help of a Czechoslovakian with an ethereal gift.

This is Me!  

About This is Me!

Welcome to my story! When I was 16, I found out I have a form of Turner syndrome. Learning about
that diagnosis was like embarking on a journey that I never expected. At that point, I not only had to
continue navigating through high school but, needed to make some big decisions for myself.

I didn’t know what to expect and experienced a wide range of emotions. It was difficult to see how anything positive was going to come out of the new journey I was faced with. Twelve years after learning I have Turner syndrome, I saw some incredible growth within myself. Events that took place in my life starting in December 2017 inspired me to write everything down. My writing project quickly took off and the more it developed, the more I realized my story had a purpose.

I truly have been on a journey to empowerment and am ready to share my story with others. The journey has not always been easy but, through everything, I have become a stronger person and learned a lot. I’m extremely excited to finally be sharing this story. After all, it is time that it is told and: This is me! Don’t forget, life is a journey, not a destination.

Embrace it and enjoy every minute of it!

Marlow by Jake Moody  

About Marlow by Jake Moody

*SPOILERS*
MARIS maintains a tense-college relationship with SEBASTIAN in Virginia, often turning inward and neglecting his lover for the sake of his poetry and his pursuit to have it published. After long neglect and after Maris takes in a stray rabbit, Sebastian has had enough and confronts his abuser.

Sebastian must have a partner in this world, he relies on other’s for his well-being, so while scolding Maris for his neglect and disaffection, he demands that they adopt a child. He cannot rely solely on Maris any longer. Maris, furious, states his intention to perfect his work and his disgust with the notion of progeny: he resolves to probe into better psychiatric medication to improve his output; Sebastian withdrawals from the argument, resentful of having butted heads on an issue so central to his person.

After the explosive back-and-forth, Sebastian concocts a scheme to fulfill himself and his wish for a supportive underling: he plots to have Maris poisoned with a high dosage of psychiatric drugs and sell his poetry to fund his life with the deferred child, reveling in its irony and self-service. He convinces his uncle, Maris’ doctor, to increase his dosage by three.

Maris, however, does not die from the increased dosage: he begins suffering a rash of hallucinations. He envisions his poetry wilting into disinterest and the home he’d wanted to share with Sebastian, across the country in Los Angeles, being sold at auction. Frantic and disillusioned, he snatches up his belongings and the stray rabbit, now-named MARLOW, who, in his delusional state, converses with him and acts as a living projection of Maris’ circumstance and perspective, and flees, heading toward California.

After making several stops and shifting from one psychotic state to another, Maris and Marlow come to a rest at a hotel in Oklahoma. While resting, Maris begins to see Sebastian standing in the doorway, he seduces him and speaks with him about his regrets of fleeing, but Sebastian harbors on the notions of having a child and while he is asleep, in a fit of desperation, Maris bashes Sebastian’s covered head until blood runs. He escapes and comes to further regret fleeing and the suffering that it has caused.

In an act of repent and seeming redemption, Maris begins mutilating Marlow: shaving him, dressing him, Maris tries to turn Marlow into a child, in an attempt to right the wrong of denying Sebastian his child and of killing him. Marlow dies, and Maris resigns himself to an asylum, where he experiences electro-shock therapy repeatedly.

On discovery that Maris has been poisoned by his prescription, a callous doctor and his assistant, avoiding all chance of incrimination due to their own misdeeds, refill Maris’ prescription and release him to his closest guardian: Sebastian.

Seeing Sebastian and realizing that he hadn’t killed Sebastian, though unsure of who he had injured, Maris finds solemn relief.

They spend a day at a Californian beach, inspecting one another. Sebastian, seeing Maris in such poor shape and hysterical, expresses empathy for Maris having fled; Maris, in reaction to this kindness, is increasingly distraught knowing that he had been willing to kill the man that he loved for his work. Sebastian resolves to provoke Maris to commit suicide, to end his misery and to begin his new life with a child; Maris decides to kill himself out of pity and of love for Sebastian.

***MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!***

Maris crashes his vehicle into a guard-rail, deeply wounding himself. He hovels to the bent rail and opens his undersides on it shape edge. He crawls back to the vehicle to retrieve the manuscript of his work to offer him some comfort in his last moments. Sebastian, instead, retrieves them, having rode behind Maris out of fear of injury to the manuscript.

Maris dies, hallucinating that he may resurrect and avenge this wrongdoing.
Sebastian opens the manuscript and begins reading it. The poetry and prose begins with indescribable beauty and slowly fades into muttering gibberish as Maris had progressed into insanity; Sebastian hears sirens as aid comes to Maris, who he knows is already dead. Knowing he will be punished and that his child’s life has been aborted, he cuts his arms open and begins bleeding to death. He fades softly, reconciling his body with that of Maris’ and his child’s.

An uptight builder. A quirky travel show host. An explosive passion that surprises them both.

Six years of traveling for her television series has left host Kiley Nelson longing for a place to call her own. Spending a weekend at her girlfriend’s beach house is the perfect reprieve, especially when she purchases property to finally settle down. But her peaceful escape is shaken when she smashes into a car containing the sinfully sexy and infuriated passenger, Jeff Hammond, who immediately melts her heart.

Jeff, staying at his friend’s Montauk home to relax after a trying week of building a home for a spoiled diva, doesn’t count on sharing his weekend with the flaky, yet incredibly sexy, Kiley. He agrees to build her house, despite the tug on his heart as Kiley turns him on in every delicious way.

Passionate weekends and shared dreams begin to shape the house they start to build together. As their relationship deepens, so do the wounds from past hurts, rousing ghosts from Jeff’s traumatic past. When a summer storm rolls in at the nearly complete house, they’re forced to deal with the past before it shakes and cracks the very foundation they’ve built.

Misunderstanding and stubborn personalities threaten to rip apart the fledgling relationship until both Kiley and Jeff learn to trust one another.

Author Bio:
Bestselling author P.C. Zick describes herself as a storyteller no matter what she writes. And she writes in a variety of genres, including romance, contemporary fiction, and creative nonfiction. She’s won various awards for her essays, columns, editorials, articles, and fiction.

The three novels in her Florida Fiction Series contain stories of Florida and its people and environment, which she credits as giving her a rich base for her storytelling. She says her, “Florida’s quirky and abundant wildlife–both human and animal–supply my fiction with tales almost too weird to be believable.”

P.C. writes both sweet and steamy romances. The sweet contemporary romances in her Smoky Mountain Romances, are set in southwest North Carolina. Another sweet romance series, Rivals in Love, contains two books with four more in the works. All six follow the Crandall family of Chicago as the siblings find love despite their focus on successful careers.

Her steamy romances go from Florida to Long Island. The Behind the Love series, set in a small fictional town in Florida, feature a community of people who form bonds as they learn to overcome the challenges of their youth. Her Montauk Romances are set in and around Long Island and feature simple, yet sophisticated beach houses designed with romance in mind. The two books in this set are filled with steamy scenes as love grows and thrives.

No matter the genre of novel, they all contain elements of romance with strong female characters, handsome heroes, and descriptive settings. She believes in living lightly upon this earth with love, laughter, and passion, and through her fiction, she imparts this philosophy in an entertaining manner with an obvious love for her characters, plot, and themes.
