About Blank Check: What if you were asked to help reinvent public schools?

Inspiring young adults to reimagine public education, Blank Check is a novel about young people and a generation that is prepared to step in and re-engineer public education.

The problem with gathering the forces of educators and businesses to advance the process of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) with Career and Technical Education (CTE) education is not that it is unworthy of their attention.

It’s not that it’s unimportant to the future kids coming through public schools.

It’s not that people do not get cheered when they champion new standards.

It’s ALL of these.

STEM and CTE education need a story. Today’s culture advances things through storytelling. It needs a context. That’s what happens when there is allowed incremental advances to nonchalantly lead the way. It fails to inspire. Blank Check is that story. It’s a fictional tale grounded in pure reality. It is an intriguing, inspirational Young Adult novel that takes place on a fictional U.S. island, but the story that evolves could help reshape public schools in America. So here, for the first and hopefully not the last time, there is a tale offered that can inspire people because when the destination can be seen in the distance, it quickens one’s pace.

About Blood Therapy

How silly of me to think this would be a blood-free nightmare . . .

Denver psychologist Kismet Knight and the dark world of the vampires are back in this thrilling, sexy sequel to the wicked romp, The Vampire Shrink.

Still reeling from the so-called vampire murders around Halloween, Kismet is trying to adjust to her new otherworldly clients and her unique relationship with drop-dead gorgeous nightwalker Devereux. She can’t deny her attraction to him, but is his intoxicating hold on her a loving embrace or a vice-like grip? And while Devereux has been clear about what he’ll do to any immortals who dare to lay a fang on her, Kismet is still being stalked by Lucifer, the obsessed bloodsucker targeting therapists for death. With Kismet scheduled to make a presentation at the American Psychological Association’s New York conference, handsome FBI profiler Alan Stevens feels it’s too risky to let her go without him. Not only is he concerned that the conference is a psychologist smorgasbord too juicy for Lucifer to pass up, but there is also some unfinished business with Kismet to be settled.

Can Alan – or Devereux – track down the elusive Lucifer, or is Kismet destined to confront him herself?

About The Marvelous Ms. Medium

My name is Zoe Lane, and I see dead people.

I thought I was getting pretty good at this whole medium gig … until today. Have you ever been kissing the man of your dreams when his dead ex-girlfriend appears?

No?

I have, and let me tell you it’s a total mood killer.

Her name is Vanessa Tobin, and she’s a journalist with a passion for truth and justice and self-help books. The last thing she remembers is investigating the disappearance of twenty-year-old Lux Piefer. She was close to solving the case. Too close.

Now we need to find Lux and catch Vanessa’s killer. Helping us is my new partner who can see glimpses of the future. You’d think this would be useful, but the thing about the future is it’s ever-changing. The more we dig, the more things change, and the more things change, the more we realize that we’re not dealing with a missing person case and a homicide. What we’ve got is a serial killer on our hands with a list of victims that is growing by the minute.

Did I mention we have twenty-four hours to figure this all out or one of us will die? Considering one out of three of us is already dead, chances are high that it will be me.

If I survive today, I’m going to need a long ghostless vacation.

About Ties That Bind (Ruthless Sinners MC)

Hawk was a man who knew what he wanted, and he wanted her.

Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best Seller L. Wilder invites you to meet the Ruthless Sinners MC–a group of bikers who will stop at nothing to claim the women they love.

Trust.
Loyalty.
Family.

These are the ties that bind. As a Ruthless Sinner, I live by those words–all the brothers do. We’re family, our bonds stronger than blood, and as their sergeant at arms, my loyalty has never wavered–until the night they brought her to the clubhouse.

The red-headed beauty didn’t belong there.
It was her brother who’d betrayed us, but there she was, atoning for his sins.

I didn’t want to hurt her.

I wanted to protect her, claim her as my own, but as secrets started to unfold, I was left with an impossible choice.

The ties that bind often come at a price–some more costly than others.

This is Hawk’s story- Book 1 of L. Wilder’s new Ruthless Sinners crossover series. Ties That Bind is a standalone MC romance with a group of bikers who will take you on a hell of a ride. They’re foul-mouthed, possessive alphas who will do whatever it takes to protect their women. No cheating and a HEA.

About Life with No Belly Button by M. Kloud

“Hear! Hear My hammer! No! It is no myth! For here! Here I am the world’s word smith!”

The Word Smith!
This book is a collection of epic poems and individual ones that tell stories that I have longed to craft. These are the fantasies, adventures, love, death, and Halloween tales that I have toiled to write and dreamed of writing since I was a kid. I am ecstatic to share them finally! These stories work together to tell the story of my journey, a Word Smith, through life. I also weave this fictional version of me, the Word Smith and his tale throughout the book. As his tale is of him writing this book and all the triumphs and failures that go with chasing a dream!
I have also included background story on the writing after each poem and epic. In these backgrounds I give you my perspective on what they mean, the details of the story, why I was inspired to write them and I also give you a little bit about me. I have organized this book into acts and parts to give a flow of the stories here. A whole lot of me you will learn through my poems and stories, more so than any straight autobiography I could write.
You will meet Tyler the ghost, the Pumpkin King, a dream seeker, the crazed Krumple, and many more!! You will also learn the meaning of the title and why it is a huge part of me!

I have a overwhelming love for words. For words can paint the most beautiful emotions. They can take you into worlds full of color, magic, love and of course tragedy. Here in this book you will see me paint with my words, paint wondrous adventures, and grand dreams. Epic tales of fantasy!
Now, I’ve decided it was time for me to follow my dream and write this book, share my stories and hope that through them they might be able to convey the same kind of emotion that all the great stories, songs, and poems of the world do.

I hope you enjoy!!

This is volume one in the collection of my epics and poems called: The Kloud Epics. This first book is 237 pages long and has 3 parts with 9 acts total.

Author Bio:
I was born in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. An absolute secluded desert! Seriously, cactus and tumble weeds would be all I would know for 15 years! Oh, usually 125 to 130 degree summers. Yet I would go and play outside for hours in the heat…..not anymore hahaha. I was also born with a ton of medical problems, one that led to me living life with no belly button! Not a scar left, just pure smooth skin.
I would eventually move to Payson, Arizona for high school. Where there were trees, and snow! No more desert for me, I had trees! Trees and snow! It was so wonderful to finally have winters and fall. Living in the mountains and the forest was a dream come true. Once I got a taste of the mountains, I have sworn I'll never live in a desert again!

It was from Payson that I would then go on and enlist in the Air Force as a network engineer! While I have been in, I have seen and experienced some life long dreams! I was a pro wrestler, I became a Jiu-Jitsu grappler, I lived in Japan and Korea, and I would vacation in China!

I grew up with my head into books. From comic books to epic fantasies, I was always reading! As I grew up I started creating stories in all forms of media. From flash animation, stop motion, poems, short stories, and game design. Now I am pursuing my true passion in life, Writing!!
