The Cure
Zoya Palseck was raised with all the conveniences her father’s vast fortune could purchase, but she was cursed to live without the love she desperately craved. Her mother was felled by a drunk driver when Zoya was but a child, and years later her father perished in a mysterious plane crash in South America. She has spent innumerable years shut off from the prying eyes of the world, hiding behind computers and the walls of her heavily secured home. When her father’s company is in jeopardy of being sold by an internal group seeking their own agenda, she assumes her rightful place and stops the mutiny in progress. That decision, along with a gift her father left for her kept hidden since his demise, will change her in ways she could never have imagined. The wild chase that ensues where everything she once held as truth will be revealed as a tangled web more dangerous than any she could conceive.
Jonathan Lange has served as Zoya’s bodyguard, legal counsel and guardian ad litem since her late father’s demise. He will do anything to safeguard her, help keep the secrets of her family and ensure the success of the Palseck family company, Viztec. Unfortunately, forces outside his control are out to right old wrongs, and Zoya is the last member of her family whose blood can provide vengeance and immortality of sorts. As a trail of bodies begin to stack up on Zoya’s doorstep, Jonathan will enlist the help of some shady security forces and any means necessary to stop those pursing Zoya. In the end the best weapon of all, will turn out to be Zoya herself and a secret “cure” that will change all the rules.

Author Bio:
My name is Angela K. Naff and I am a current resident of Stillwater, Oklahoma (go OSU Cowboys) and write under the pen name of Angelica Kate. I have written for more years than I can count, but only started publishing my work as an Indie author in the Spring of 2014. My favorite genre to write is contemporary romance featuring current societal issues such as foster care, child abuse, drunk drivers, domestic violence etc. and heroines/heroes that overcome the odds to not only survive but thrive. Additionally in 2015 I have published my first full-length novel in the science fiction/mystery mixed genre titled THE CURE, and followed it up with a psychic thriller entitled DISCORD. I enjoy stretching my skills by penning stories that don’t fit in a single style or genre and help me grow as an author.
When not working at Oklahoma State University as a Program Coordinator or writing I enjoy working out, keeping up with my two biological college kids activities, and keeping pace with my elementary aged foster children. As a family we enjoy traveling, a myriad of sports, binge watching our favorite shows and entertaining the never ending stream of visitors and relatives to our home.

Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Sword Princess by Suzette Hollingsworth
About Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Sword Princess by Suzette Hollingsworth:
Victorian Romantic Mystery
The Great Detective has more in store for his landlady’s niece than washing jars and labeling specimens: pistol shooting, fencing, boxing, and Jiu-Jitsu. This she can master, but Mirabella Hudson must face the greatest horror of all: Miss de Beauvais’ Finishing School for Distinguished Young Ladies.
Sherlock Holmes gets more than he bargained for when he hires his landlady’s young ward to keep his laboratory in order. She might be clever, but Mirabella Hudson is insubordinate, talks too much, is an accident waiting to happen—and, worst of all, is distractingly pretty.
Unfortunately, ‘pretty’ is just what Sherlock Holmes needs.
Sherlock is a master of disguise, but pretty he is not. The Great Detective requires a female operative to go under cover at London’s premier finishing school where Princess Elena Petrovic-Njegos of Montenegro is a client—and the target of an assassination plot. If the inexperienced Miss Hudson and her employer do not succeed in saving the princess, there is trouble brewing across the globe that could potentially lead to war on a massive scale. Montenegro is a small Serbian country, but She has among her allies the Mother Russia.
One unsuccessful case could ruin this young detective’s career before it starts. Above all, Sherlock must have work—and he must be in pursuit. Work is the blood in his veins. Work is life.
The game is afoot! And there can be no greater puzzle than what he receives in the form of one Mirabella Hudson—who might stump even Sherlock Holmes.
“A Sherlock tale with Hepburn and Tracy flair . . . It had the feel of a classic old Hollywood mismatched romantic comedy to me…. Hepburn and Tracy. It was charming and would really appeal to people who love the idea of a kind of Jane Austen meets Conan Doyle mash-up.” – RaynaRed, Audible reviewer

Author Bio:
Suzette is little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll with a passion for all things Jane Austen. She grew up in Wyoming and Texas, went to school in Tennessee (Sewanee), lived in Europe two summers, and now resides in a Bavarian theme town with her cartoonist/author husband Clint, Captain Jack the tuxedo cat, and a dachshund named Tinkerbelle. Suzette enjoys opera, ballet, theatre, snorkeling, and tropical vacation tv shows about people who move to Hawaii. Visit her website at www.suzettehollingsworth.com. You can read an biographical comic about her life at www.startingfromscratchcomic.com
Suzette’s writing style combines wit with elegance and can be described as “A Jane Austen and Robert Downey Jr. meet on the African Queen type of Historical Romance”. Her goal in writing historical fiction is to engage the reader in a magical journey of time travel.
The author is passionate about her current Sherlock Holmes series in which Mrs. Hudson’s niece is a potential love interest amidst this Victorian mystery. Sherlock Holmes is a great, fun hero to write because he is liked from the get-go despite being pompous and insufferable (or perhaps because of it!), something which might result in an unsympathetic hero in another narrative. The series draws on the imagery surrounding the beloved Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (in particular, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law), incorporates the witty banter into the relationship between Sherlock and Mirabella, and lends itself well to Steam punk, blending the “Age of Invention” with something old-fashioned, elegant, and slower-paced.
