When a world you barely dreamt existed is not only real but a part of your destiny, would you take the path unfolding before you? And how far will you go to protect those you Love?..

17-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her. Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run. Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about him. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.

This young adult book is available in both print and ebook formats.

THE AMBASSADOR’S WIFE  

Ambassadors-Wife-new-500x759-copy-2About THE AMBASSADOR’S WIFE:

“THE AMBASSADOR’S WIFE is another terrific book from a terrific writer. In the genre of crime fiction set in Asia, Jake Needham is in a class of his own.” –The Bangkok Post

“Jake Needham is Asia’s most stylish and atmospheric writer of crime fiction.” — The Singapore Straits Times

The first body is in Singapore, on a bed in an empty suite in the Marriott Hotel. The second is in Bangkok, in a seedy apartment close to the American embassy. Both women. Both Americans. Both beaten viciously, shot in the head, stripped naked, and lewdly displayed.

The FBI says it’s terrorism, but the whispers on the street tell a different story. They say a serial killer is stalking American women across Asia.

Inspector Samuel Tay of Singapore CID is something of a reluctant policeman. He’s a little overweight, a little lonely, a little cranky, and he smokes way too much. Thinking back, he can’t even remember why he became a detective in the first place. He thinks a lot about quitting, but he hasn’t. Because the thing is, he’s very, very good at what he does.

When the bodies of American women start turning up, CID gives the case to Tay. It’s high profile, and he’s the best they have. Then why is it, Tay soon begins to wonder, that nobody seems to want him to find the women’s killer? Not the FBI, not the American ambassador, not even his bosses at CID.

When international politics takes over a murder case, the truth becomes the next victim.

And from January 12-14, the Kindle edition of THE AMBASSADOR’S WIFE is only $.99!

Puzzle Trees  

PUZZLE_TREES_by_Thom_Mark_ShepardAbout Puzzle Trees:

High school freshman Joe Sheffield has only recently begun to control his obsession with all things grim and gruesome. But when two of his best friends move away, and his last best friend gravitates toward a new set of friends, Joe feels his dark fantasies and phobias returning with a vengeance, even as he is drawn to Gina, a mysterious bird-like classmate with her own dark secret.
While searching for his principal’s kitten, Joe discovers that several cats have disappeared within a single day from his principal’s neighborhood. Unable to accept a more rational explanation, he comes to believe that predatory green primates have moved among the “puzzle trees,” those decaying woods that lie between his principal’s house and his own. When Theo, his skeptical but equally troubled half-brother, pays Joe a surprise visit, they go hunting for these possibly real, possibly imaginary creatures. Their astonishing discovery opens the door to a deeper mystery, one with potentially tragic consequences, which Joe must face alone.

Jean and Rebecca, whose parents have died, journey back to France from Brazil – desolate. Rebecca has an on-board romance with an older right-wing Frenchman, Philippe Darnand.

Now Jean, taught to kill by S.O.E. and disdaining restrictions set by the French resistance, is compelled to exact his vengeance as an outsider. A ravening grudge bearer, Jean rescues the beautiful Nicole from the Sicherheitspolitzei’s clutches in Bergerac and they travel to Paris – a little stop over to bring his plans to fruition.

A Perfect Evil  

A-Perfect-Evil-CoverAbout A Perfect Evil:

Old sins leave dark and lasting scars…

Hannah Stuart thinks she’s safe within the dark and private rooms of Kenninghall, her friend Milo’s rambling and secluded Washington estate. Here she hides from the outside world, nurturing her depression, and lost in a past and painful tragedy she can’t let go. She lives her days by rote, each day the same as the one before.

But change, for good or ill, is both relentless and inescapable.

Milo dies, leaving Hannah a fortune and three letters. Letters telling of old sins and ugly lies, now tangled anew in more shocking depravities. Letters the rich and powerful will kill to suppress. Letters Hannah is driven and honor bound to expose—and time is running out.

When Milo’s long-lost relatives and former business partners start showing up at Kenninghall, Hannah doesn’t know who to trust. In desperation she turns to the mysterious Yates Lang.

Yates has the experience to help her, but he also has secrets of his own—and a compelling reason to destroy the letters.

He may be falling for the reclusive beauty of Kenninghall, but when love gets entangled in existing loyalties, bad blood, and a perfect evil, it can get you killed.

Author Bio:
I live on Vancouver Island in the moody, green, and rain-washed Pacific Northwest. So when I’m seriously story challenged (too often!) I often walk the beach and commune with the stunning and multi-talented Mother Nature. (Make that beg for inspiration!) If that doesn’t work, a few minutes thinking about the quirks and foibles of human nature usually does the trick.

I dislike cooking.
I dislike nosy people.
I dislike too many rainy days in a row.
I dislike snakes.

And the only word I hate is hate.

I love reading, writing, my sons, my sister, my twin granddaughters, my Rhodesian ridgeback puppy, Boon–and most of all my first and last husband, Tim.

LIVE TO TELL A Suicide Survivor’s Struggle with Depression and Anxiety By Ben Schwipps and Shelia Merkel  

12-06smerk123_coverAbout LIVE TO TELL A Suicide Survivor’s Struggle with Depression and Anxiety By Ben Schwipps and Shelia Merkel:

Did you ever wonder why someone would commit suicide? Have you been touched by a suicide in some manner? Did you ever wonder how everyone missed all the warning signs?

Only a person that has lived through this harrowing event can explain why they did it. Suicide is not logical and difficult to understand. It is a hush, hush topic that no one feels comfortable talking about. Very few people live through a serious suicide attempt and can actually talk about it or want to share the darkest moment of their life.

Ben is different. He had the courage to write and share his story to the world within three months of his attempt to take his own life. Within the pages, you will find out why Ben took deliberate action to end his life by pulling the trigger in his living room after making a phone call.

This book breaks all the rules and the social stigma around depression and suicide and will give you an inside personal view on what it is like to battle depression and anxiety. We will talk about it candidly in a way that is easy to understand. We will have to warn you that some parts of the book are disturbing. It reads like a fiction novel, but the story is 100% true, raw, and very personal.

Ben was the happy-go-lucky, normal guy to the outside world, but inside he was a broken man teetering on the edge of the precipice. He pulled the trigger. He regretted it. He died. He was revived. He died again. He was revived the second time.

After the attempt, when he awoke in the hospital, he recalled a burning desire to make things right again. This book is Ben’s attempt to make things right. He wants to help people who are struggling, who are at the breaking point.

This amazing story will give you a new perspective or may even change your life:
You will have a greater insight into depression and you will be better able to help someone who is struggling with this disease.
You will gain more compassion and understanding for people who are struggling, not just with depression, but with other life struggles.

You will be more confident to intervene and take action if you know someone who is threatening suicide or is heading down the rabbit hole.
You will developed a greater awareness of the evil twins, “depression and anxiety.”

If you are a depressed individual, you may see yourself in the story and you will know that you are not alone in your fight. Ben’s story will help you to see what others do not understand. Consider Ben to be your friend and supporter. He will share all his thoughts and insights.

For anyone battling depression and even negative thoughts, healing and recovery is not an overnight process. We are not alone in this world for a reason, although for someone who is battling depression, it can feel like you are alone in your fight.

When someone gets so low, it is hard for them to get up by themselves, so you will need to be there, if possible, and extend that helping hand. This book will also provide some valuable tips on how to talk to someone who may be suicidal.

There is no doubt that you will benefit by reading a personal account of Ben’s story. Enjoy this read and then take action to reach out and help someone who may be struggling. You never know who is hurting inside and who is at the end of their rope… literally.

Book is currently at 4.99. I can discount to 2.99 on the day you run your promotion. Just let me know if this will Ok or if best to discount lower on your site.

Author Bio:
These bios are generally rather dry, so I thought I’d shake up the format a little bit. Here are ten not-so-interesting tidbits about me:

1. I despise whipped cream. There, I admitted it in writing. Let the ridiculing begin.
2. Even though I have lived as far south as Key Largo, Florida and as far north as Maine, I landed in the middle.
3. If I don’t make a conscious effort not to, I will drink nothing but tea morning, noon, and night. Hot tea, sweet tea, green tea – I love it all.
4. There doesn’t seem to be much in life that is better than coming home to a big dog who is overjoyed to see me. My other family members usually show significantly less enthusiasm about my return.
5. Singing in my bestest, loudest voice does not make my family put on their happy faces. This includes the big, loving dog referenced above.
6. Yes, I am aware that bestest is not a word.
7. Dorothy was right. There’s no place like home.
8. All of the numerous bottles in my shower must be lined up with their labels facing out. It makes me feel a little like Julia Roberts’ mean husband from the movie ‘Sleeping with the Enemy,’ but I can’t seem to control this particular quirk.
9. I love, love, love finding a great bargain.
10. Did I mention that I hate whipped cream? It makes my stomach churn to look at it, touch it, smell it, or even think about it. Great – now I’m thinking about it. Ick!
