Yesterday vs. Tomorrow by Angel Gelique
About Yesterday vs. Tomorrow by Angel Gelique
Amy Leighton has always been a sensible, confident woman. That is, until her thirty-fourth birthday approaches, engulfing her in doubt and insecurity. With a nagging mother and a happily-married, pregnant best friend, Amy grows increasingly anxious about finding her soul-mate.
Then, as though fate steps in to offer guidance, she discovers that her incredibly handsome new coworker, Grant, is single. But fate can be cruel. Grant is six years younger and seems hopelessly out of her league. Despite lingering doubts, Amy dares to believe that she might have a chance at capturing Grant’s attention. But Valerye, the flirtatious, young blonde receptionist with the perfect body, thinks otherwise.
Realizing that Amy might interfere with her own plans of conquering Grant’s heart, Valerye warns her that she would be foolish to try and pursue Grant since she is way too old for him.
“Why would he want you when he could have me?…I’m your yesterday and you’re my tomorrow.”
At first she succeeds in shattering Amy’s remaining self-confidence. But the more Valerye viciously preys on her insecurities, the more it strengthens Amy’s resolve until she agrees to accept the challenge: Yesterday vs. Tomorrow, in a bitter fight for Grant’s affection.
Only some battles are never meant to be fought….

Author Bio:
I am a mother, wife and attorney from Long Island, New York. I love being a wife and mother…but an attorney?What was I thinking going to law school?!? It truly is my one regret. I wish I’d spent all that time and energy writing books instead of legal briefs and memoranda of law.
However, I’ve discovered that it’s never too late to pursue your life’s passion and true calling. I’ve been having fun making up for lost time. So far, I’ve written five full-length novels. My first book, “Mother,” is a young adult novel about a volatile mother/daughter relationship. It’s an emotional roller-coaster ride that explores the self-destructive behaviors of a dysfunctional single-parent family.
My “Hillary” trilogy is a lot darker. It is a deeply disturbing series that contains intense scenes of graphic violence, gore and subject matter that many find offensive. Please heed my warnings!
I have two short stories, “Christmas Shopping,” and “Crazy Old Lady,” (which appears in the extreme horror anthology called “Carnage”) and a novella entitled “Omerion.”
I am delighted to announce that I have just completed my first chick lit novel, which will be released on Valentine’s Day. Next up, a long overdue horror novel called “Expulsion” about an abortion gone very wrong. This year, I also intend to release another horror novella, entitled “Love You to Pieces” and a young adult novel about bullying.
No matter what the genre, I think it’s important for everything I write to leave a lasting impression upon readers. I strive to create memorable characters combined with deep and thought-provoking storylines.
If you’ve ever considered writing a book then I urge you to do so, without fear of failure, without fear of what others may think, without any fears whatsoever except the fear of not fulfilling your goals. Just do it. Live your dreams and don’t let anyone ever hold you back.
Bumping Off Fat Vinny by Dennis N. Griffin and Morgan St. James
About Bumping Off Fat Vinny by Dennis N. Griffin and Morgan St. James:
Fat Vinny is on top of the “Hate List.” He’s a bad guy and deserves to get whacked. But trying to get the job done is another story, and that will keep you laughing.
In this funny crime fiction story obnoxious publisher “Fat Vinny” Vitali rejects the authors’ final manuscript and threatens to “put it on the shelf.” Nothing they try changes his mind, and as a last resort they turn to murder! Every clever murder plots seems to go wrong. Shocking twists at the end result in crime fiction bordering on mystery. Definitely a funny crime caper that will keep you turning the pages.
Laugh out loud when Mob wife Maria Mancuso, and best-selling coauthors Danny Garrett, a former FBI agent, and Margaret Stanton, a wealthy divorcee, decide their only choice is to murder the publisher from Hell. “Fat Vinny.” Vitali, tops the scales at 400 pounds. They were under contract for Maria’s memoir–the one she came out of hiding to write–but novice publisher Vitali really wanted (and thought he was getting) an investigative Mob book that named the killer of Maria’s late husband, Tony “The Nose,” head of the notorious Mancuso crime family. The hit on “The Nose” was an unsolved crime, and entrepreneur Vitali, new to the publishing business, pictured becoming King of True Crime books. Never once in the year-and-a-half it took to write the book did he think to mention that, although he sat in on most of the development meetings.
Vinny doesn’t know about a pending movie deal, so the only way they can get their book published is if Vinny has a one-way ticket to the Happy Hunting Ground. When their perfect murder plots turn out not to be perfect, this crime fiction book will keep you on your toes..
Unfortunately for them, Vinny seems to have 9 lives. Every diabolically clever murder scheme backfires. Trying to bump off Fat Vinny is like hiring the “Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight” .
