QUEST: THE JOURNEY by R. A. McCaulley
About QUEST: THE JOURNEY by R. A. McCaulley
Prophecies, attempted murder, kidnapping, hidden magical powers, and fated love. Keira’s life was out of her hands before she was even born. The closer she got to her 18th birthday, the more she had begun to think maybe, just maybe, all this prophecy stuff would be forgotten. But when her Uncle Shamus, the head of their village, sends her on a quest meant to fulfill that very prophecy, Keira decides she won’t just follow along anymore. She sets out to find answers – because she’s not marrying anyone without knowing the reason everyone says she is fated to be with Collin, and the reason her own aunt tried to kill her to stop it from happening.

Those Children Are Ours by David Burnett
About Those Children Are Ours by David Burnett
Jennie Bateman screamed at her daughters, cursed at her husband, packed a bag, and walked away. Twelve years later, she petitions the family court for visitation with her daughters, Alexis and Christa.
True, Jennie suffered from a bipolar disorder when she began to drink heavily, abandoned her family, and moved in with another man. True, she has turned her life around: leaving her boyfriend, returning to school, entering therapy, taking medication, finding a job, and joining a church.
But she pressed no claim for her children when her husband divorced her, and she has made no attempt to contact them in any way since then. Her daughters, now sixteen and fourteen, have busy lives that do not include her, lives that will be totally disrupted by the visitation that she requests. Their father is engaged to be married to a woman who has taken the role of their mother for a decade. Alexis remembers nothing good about Jennie. Christa recalls nothing at all.
Conflict ensues as soon as Jennie’s petition is served: her former husband does not want to share his children with the woman who deserted him; her children have no interest in knowing the mother who abandoned them, and her father believes that she is being timid and ought to demand full custody, not visitation.
The judge hesitates to grant Jennie’s request, but reluctantly agrees to order three trial visits.
If persuading the judge to let her see her children was difficult, convincing them to allow her to be a part of their lives may be impossible. What happens next tests her confidence in herself, her love for her children, and, ultimately, threatens her life, itself.

Author Bio:
We recently moved to our new home near Charleston, South Carolina. Three of my four books are set in Charleston, and I’ve always enjoyed the Carolina beaches. I now have the opportunity to walk on the beach almost every day and to photography the ocean, the sea birds, and the marshes that I love.
I love photography, and I have photographed subjects as varied as prehistoric ruins on the islands of Scotland, star trails, sea gulls, and a Native American powwow. My wife and I have traveled widely in the United States and the United Kingdom. During trips to Scotland, we visited Crathes Castle, the ancestral home of the Burnett family near Aberdeen, and Kismul Castle on Barra, the home of my McNeil ancestors.
I went to school for much longer than I want to admit, and I have degrees in psychology and education. In an “earlier life” I was director of research for our state’s education department.
Tackle by Holly Hart
The rule journalists live by?
Never become the story.
And whatever you do, don’t sleep with him!
Diana:
My life’s changing so fast I’ve got whiplash! Two weeks ago, the only reporting I did was for the website… Cute little league stuff – yeah, I was that junior.
Now I’m in Barcelona, Spain, reporting on the biggest signing in US soccer history – the tanned, ripped, and outrageously cocky superstar striker Alex Rodriquez. Suddenly my career’s not just going places, it’s flying there business class.
Fast cars, late nights and loose women? Alex is any journalist’s wet dream. He’s my one chance to show that I’m more than just a pretty face. And I’m going to snatch it with both hands, even if that means sacrificing his career to send mine to the stratosphere.
I’m supposed to be the new face of WBC Sports. But I don’t even recognize the girl staring back at me in the mirror.
Alex:
I’m more than just a bad boy. It wasn’t easy growing up in inner city LA, and I didn’t just make it out, I made it to the pinnacle of my sport – playing offense for the world’s best club in Barcelona! But that Diana b@tch is painting me out to be no better than a ghetto gangbanger!
I hate her. I want her. And I’m going to take her.

Lucy Green Eyes
“Oh, how I wished I could’ve told her what had happened. How I wished I could’ve let go and allowed the tears to spill. But I knew that if I had cried, Mama would’ve asked me what the matter was. And if I had told her the truth, she would’ve said that I was lying. And if she thought that I was lying . . . well, you know the rest.
Still, I wonder . . . did she know?
Did anyone know?
Didn’t everyone know?”
Lucy Green Eyes is a true story depicting actual events in the life of a young girl, Merlene McDaniel, who was given away at birth to be raised by her grandmother. As Merlene grows, she has to learn to deal with the stains of her illegitimacy, abandonment, and molestation, all while maintaining a lying grin to uphold her brave facade. A captivating and soul-tugging account of the emotional and physical endurance possessed by an innocent child.
In the end, Lucy Green Eyes is an emotionally cacophonous narrative of a young girl whose inner strength allows her to ride on the wings of endless hope. And we, as her readers, can’t help but ride along.

Author Bio:
I was born in South Carolina but moved to New York when I was three years old. I went to Professional Children’s School in NYC where I was exposed to the arts. Although I loved writing from the time that I was eight years old, the passion was fueled after I got into high school and college where I majored in it.
Once I was old enough to hold a pencil correctly, I began writing stories about getting the baby sister that I so badly yearned for. I’d write every night before bed until one day my mom told my older brother and me that she was going to have a baby. We were both beyond ecstatic, although my brother cried when we learned that the baby was a girl. I screamed for joy because I finally had my sister. Then about a year later, my mom gave us a little brother. Four years after that, we got another baby sister and two years later, another sister. Moral of the story: Be careful what you write for.
The idea for Lucy Green Eyes came into thought in 1997. My mother would always talk about what her life was like as a young girl having to run from her strict grandmother’s switches, and dodging dirty old men in the cotton field, outrunning trucks that’d be in hot pursuit and finding ways to become invisible to her molester. Then one day my sister and I said, “Hey Ma, your life can be a book.” Hence the birth of Lucy Green Eyes.

Creative Visualization: Mojo’s Wiccan Series by Monique Joiner Siedlak
About Creative Visualization: Mojo’s Wiccan Series by Monique Joiner Siedlak:
The principles behind visualization is numerous and varied. Learning how to visualize goes mutually together with learning to focus, building self-discipline, and meditation, developing and controlling an active mind, astral projection and dream working – which are all important aspects to the development of magickal ability. Visualization is the foundation of a form or image within the mind and the holding of this pattern or picture while projecting it as a visual knowledge.
By learning to visualize, you will find that your rituals are more enhanced, focused and consequently more successful. This holds true for all types of rituals. Visualization of the goal achieved, combining with the path of the magickal energy, will channel more energy, thus achieving a more effective ritual.

Author Bio:
I’ve always wanted to write, but being a single parent to five, finding the time to write was difficult, especially when working two jobs at a time and some days working 18 hours. But I did what I had to do. After given the opportunity to leave my job and my youngest graduating, I’ve decided to dive in head first into writing full-time, and haven’t slowed down yet. My husband (remarried almost five years ago) says I work more now than I did punching the time clock. I never needed anyone looking over my shoulders while I worked (even thought someone probably did). I just know what needs to be done and push myself not to get ahead, but to stay ahead. Just because I’m home doesn’t mean there isn’t work to be done.
Crimson Psyche
Bloody, Sexy & Funny . . .
Denver Psychologist Kismet Knight counsels vampires. Her life changed forever when she discovered a preternatural underworld and became involved with gorgeous eight-centuries-old Devereux, the powerful leader of a vampire coven.
Still adjusting to her new role as an expert on all things paranormal – as well as her unexpected notoriety and new clientele – Kismet schedules what she believes is simply another radio interview. She couldn’t be more mistaken. Not only does the radio host behave very strangely, but an ominous on-air call from day-walking vampire Lyren Hallow turns Kismet’s world upside-down – again.
Shortly thereafter Maxie Westhaven, a tabloid newspaper reporter in search of a juicy story, befriends Kismet, leading her into a bizarre world of role players, lost souls, and death, while events conspire to cause Victoria Essex, Devereux’s building manager and resident witch, to disclose a startling secret of her own.
Meanwhile Luna, Devereux’s hostile femme fatale personal assistant, recognizes a perfect opportunity to throw a wrench into her boss’s blossoming relationship with the human psychologist and, to complicate matters further, Kismet’s old boyfriend, self-absorbed Psychologist Tom Radcliffe, shows up with his own outlandish request.
And don’t forget the ghosts, witches, psychics and wizards.
Immortal insanity, anyone?

“Sex, murder, mystery, vampire powers and thrills and chills make Crimson Psyche one of the most interesting paranormal/urban fantasy reads this year. Highly recommended.” – SciFiGuy. ca
