About Spark Bond Ignited by A.M. Proctor

Book one of the Spark Bonded Series
A fated mate, rubenesque, elf shifter, paranormal, fantasy romance set in the balmy tropics of Florida.

There’s one universal law in the Fae Realm: No humans allowed.

Morgan has always been a nice girl, a yes girl, a ‘go with the flow’ girl. While it really hasn’t worked out to her benefit in the past, this time it’s landed her in a world filled with fae creatures that reject her, no matter how nice she is. This twenty-five year old, Florida native is used to being used and manipulated by others. What’s derailed her is the injured, elf prince she discovered in the woods. His intense blue gaze and smoldering body has her wanting more even though she doesn’t feel pretty enough for him.

While Chaistolf may seem perfect to Morgan, he’s downright dangerous and perfectly cursed. As he realizes that a rare and precious bond has ignited between them, he’s torn between doing the honorable thing and risking everything for her. In the fae realm where it’s law to kill humans on sight, is he truly thinking about completing this bond? It’s a perilous path that could cause an uprising among his people, his family to turn against him and even start a war.

Chaistolf has never been one to back down from a challenge but the only challenge our horse loving girl has ever faced is no stirrup November and she usually puts the stirrups back on her saddle before month’s end. Will she have what it takes face this new challenge and discover who she truly is? The rewards could be amazing, the risks might cost her everything.

While book one and two in this series isn’t as dark as the Ride Series which is set in the same realm at a future date, book three and four of the Spark Bonded Series does have some dark elements but Morgan ends up with a reverse harem and a few delicious kinks. A.M. Proctor won’t leave you hanging at the end because there isn’t one cliff in all of Fae or Human Florida.

Author Bio:
The person behind the pen name is Alisha McGinnis. It’s no secret. My pen name honors my mother who had a dream to become a published author but was taken from this earth before she had the chance to fully realize her dream. Alisha McGinnis Proctor. I take no shame in the smut I write.

I live in Florida with two dogs, four cats and two angry backyard hens. I own three horses that I board in Pinellas Park and whom I teach younglings to ride on. It’s also no secret that I never grew up even if my body ages.

I met my muse when I was twenty-two. Nursing a broken heart and raising my son alone in the used bookstore my mom owned, a fae creature started visiting my dreams. He showed me an amazing fae realm and the sensual creatures that lived there. I promised to tell his stories but then life got in the way. Good thing he’s patient. It took me twenty-five years to actually start putting my first book together.

I hope you enjoy the stories and characters that have taken life. They are their own individuals and they now tell me what they want. I’m just the slave who writes the novels now.

The Memoirs of a Modern Day Slave  

About The Memoirs of a Modern Day Slave

The Memoirs of a Modern Day Slave is a collection of entries written by author Jerard Shannon. In this book, the author gives his philosophies and details of his very own life as a civilian growing up in the inner city. Like many minorities growing up in an urban community, Jerard deals with the plights and challenges of a young black American. He hopes to challenge the mind of his readers by offering solutions on how to overcome the daily obstacles faced by today’s Afro American. Jerard does this by using his past experiences in which he promotes the importance of education, travel, and history. He also indulges in short fictional stories to help evoke the mind of the reader. Once you begin to read the Memoirs of a Modern Day Slave, Jerard asks that you remove the shackles from your brain. So you can, as he elegantly likes to put it, “Free your mind.”

BLEECKER STREET by Ted Lampron  

About BLEECKER STREET by Ted Lampron

“A DARK PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER THAT TAKES YOU INTO THE MIND OF A TRANSGENDER KILLER.”

As a young, aspiring writer for the New York World Newspaper, Emma Gilder is determined to succeed as an investigative journalist. However, she finds little chance to move ahead in a male-dominated newsroom. That is until she is given the assignment to cover the murder of a merchant seaman.

One assignment leads to another and Emma soon finds herself working relentlessly to cover a growing number of homicides in Lower Manhattan. As she vigorously investigates her story of a mass-murderer, the real killer begins to stalk her.

To make life more difficult, Emma angers the New York City Police Department with a newspaper exposé about police corruption. As a result of her writing, she becomes the target of a crooked policeman, who is hell-bent on revenge.

While caught up in the challenge of investigative journalism, Emma’s personal life begins to suffer from the demanding pace of her work. Still, she manages to find time for romance. Emma stokes her burning desire to learn more about a handsome, young store owner, whom she is strongly attracted to, and possibly in love.

Emma is not the only person in danger. Her dear friend and mentor, Victor Titus, a suave, sophisticated journalist for the National Police Gazette, is being stalked by an escaped lunatic, called the Mad Hatter. The madman is possessed by a haunting conspiracy theory that dates back to the Civil War when he and Victor were assigned to capture John Wilkes Booth.

The violent eruption of murders come to a head when a Manhattan woman is brutally butchered in the same manner that London’s Jack the Ripper murders his victims.

Victor and Emma will each be lured into a death trap by psychotic killers. However, there are more than two murderers on the loose, or are they all the same person?

Bleecker Street delves into the primal settings of Manhattan nightlife during the Gilded Age when deviant behaviors infested the streets and backrooms of seedy nightclubs and saloons. It opens the curtain and reveals the wretched life of a poor female immigrant and the destitution of women struggling to survive alone on the mean streets of New York City in an age of growing upper-class wealth.

“The strong sub-plots make this much more than a historical tale; however, this well-written novel has it all. The dynamics of relationships, revenge, corruption, and the pain of losing someone you love. The twists and turns to the plot throughout were superb, and I thought I had guessed the killer, but the revelations at the end really came as a surprise.”
Highly recommended and reviewed by Readers’ Favorite – FIVE STARS
