About American Blasphemer

Would you dance with the Devil at a rock and roll show?

Even if she wanted to kill you?

American Blasphemer is the story of a lovesick writer named John who moves to NYC to escape his dysfunctional family after getting dumped by his girlfriend.

An epic literary novel written in the tradition of Denis Johnson, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, each chapter delivers new characters and unforgettable experiences – a knife fight with a sex addict, psychedelic family Christmas, a Cathedral burning in Manhattan, a midnight visit to Elvis’s grave, and more.

This harrowing journey through American carnage culminates in a showdown with a tattooed witch and warlock who try to get John to join their coven after meeting him at a concert in Times Square.

“This is a book that I could not put down. This book is crude, grotesque, vulgar, and brutally honest…I think every person claiming to be a Christian should read it.” – NetGalley Review

Author Bio:
At ten years old, John Matthew Gillen was sent to a Christian summer camp. Campers were allowed one elective activity.

Out of four hundred campers, John was the only one who chose Storytelling. The camp director asked him to choose another class so they wouldn’t have to offer Storytelling that year.

John refused.

Since then, he has been fired for writing poetry at work, cussed out by the Chief Clerk of the United States Supreme Court, and has spent over $10,000 on tickets to Bob Dylan concerts.

In addition to writing and directing short films in New York, John’s work has appeared in literary publications including The Laurel Review, Storgy Magazine, and The New Guard Literary Review.

His favorite authors include Jorge Luis Borges and Hank Bukowski, and he harbors a deep reverence for Martin Scorsese.

Manhattan is his home.

About Little Bram

A 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist. It’s the fall of 2002, and Skyler Bram is bracing herself for another year of torture from her half-sister Kina Dunlap. But when a family emergency strikes, the girls are forced to live under the same roof. Instead of drawing a line down the middle of their bedroom and letting the war wage on, Skyler and Kina make what they believe to be the mature decision to call a truce and put their past behind them. Together, they’ll break each other out of their comfort zones, rise through the ranks of a secret society, and…lose friends along the way?

Turns out, their decision to play nice has ramifications for all of their closest friends.

Little Bram is a comedy about the bonds we form, the friends we lose, and what we’ll do to get them back.

Missing: A Suspense-Filled Mystery for Young Readers by Makenzie R. Casseday

When everything she knows is ripped away…

After coming to terms with the loss of her mother at a young age, Lola’s biggest struggle has been keeping the peace with a stepmother who doesn’t seem to get Lola for who she really is. Thankfully, Lola has her sister Bonnie (who she sometimes gets along with — that’s normal, right?), her best friend Sophia, and her doting father to support her while her love of the outdoors, flowers, and stars tend to ease her through.

Overall, Lola is a pretty ordinary girl living a fairly ordinary life, even with the occasional annoyance of being told to do something she doesn’t want to do. She goes to school. She does her chores. She does all the things that a normal kid her age would do, until everything is turned upside down! What does a girl do when everything she knows is ripped away? The people she counts on, the safety of her home, the truth that she’s always known, all suddenly torn from her grasp!

Makenzie R. Casseday’s debut novel is a suspense-filled adventure of loss and discovery for young readers. Robbery, abduction, lies, and even murder ensue as Lola sorts through the mystery of whom she can trust, makes peace with the truth of her past, and decides to move forward focusing on what is available to her now.

HOW FIRES END by Marco Rafala

A dark secret born out of World War II lies at the heart of a Sicilian American family in this emotional and sweeping saga of guilt, revenge, and, ultimately, redemption.

After soldiers vacate the Sicilian hillside town of Melilli in the summer of 1943, the locals celebrate, giving thanks to their patron saint, Sebastian. Amid the revelry, all it takes is one fateful moment for the destiny of nine-year-old Salvatore Vassallo to change forever. When his twin brothers are killed playing with an unexploded mortar shell, Salvatore’s faith is destroyed. As the family unravels, and fear ignites among their neighbors that the Vassallo name is cursed, one tragedy begets another.

Desperate to escape this haunting legacy, Salvatore accepts the help of an Italian soldier with fascist ties who ushers him and his sister, Nella, into a new beginning in America. In Middletown, Connecticut, in the immigrant neighborhood known as Little Melilli, these three struggle to build new lives for themselves. But a dangerous choice to keep their secrets hidden erupts in violence decades later. When Salvatore loses his inquisitive American-born son, David, they all learn too late the price sons pay for their fathers’ wars.

Written with elegiac prose, How Fires End delves into the secret wars of men; the sins they cannot bury; and a life lived in fear of who will reveal them, who will survive them, and who will forgive them.

Author Bio:
I’m an inveterate reader, fiction or non fiction, but as a writer, I was drawn to the crime genre. There’s more open space and unsettled country there, fewer gatekeepers. Crime hooked me. Not so much for the whodunnit aspect, but more for the way I could take on morally ambiguous topics with their shades of gray. I was free to write whatever I wanted, as long as I delivered a good story with a beginning and end, and a reason for being. Narrative drive rules. I can understand writers chafing at the constant demand to go forward, but for a reader there are some positives, such as weeding out preaching and creating a page turner by keeping the story on track.

Author Bio:
Elle Sweet is the pen name of mystery author Laina Turner.

I started writing ten years ago, and it was always my intent and desire to write romance. However, in my first book, someone died. It just happened and turned the romance into a mystery.

Twenty-some books later, and I decided enough was enough. I was going to do what I’d initially set out to do at the start of my writing journey. Write a book where no one died (It’s not as easy as you think).

I can’t tell you how much fun I had writing Finding Rachel and the three others set in the small town of Moonshire Bay. Finding Rachel is out now and Ari’s Adventure will release in spring of 2020 with the third book set to follow in the early summer of 2020.

How did I come up with my pen name? Elle for the “L” in Laina and Sweet was my grandfather’s last name. I wanted something that had a story. I originally wanted to call myself LuluBell after a pet cow I once had, but the family shot that one down.

Born and raised in the midwest, I live in Indiana with my husband, three amazing children, and our dogs Duke and Macy.

About Adoring Aveline

My name is Aveline Montgomery and my life is less-than exciting. I work, go to my classes, sleep, repeat.

There’s nothing that’s going to make my life amp up in the excitement department like going backpacking—ahem, wine tasting— through Europe.

At least, that’s what I thought until Ethan Hart comes to town.

Everyone remembers him, everyone worships him, everyone wants him.

But for some reason my charming self captures him and he can’t help but be completely infatuated by me…

What can I say? I’m adorable.

So what if I get in a car accident, give myself third degree burns and basically make a fool of myself every time Ethan is around?

And so what if being associated with him makes me a target for a dangerous man who, well, wants me dead?

It’s fine.

Everything’s fine.
