About The Heart’s Journey Home: A Layover in Doppelganger-ville, by Nikki Jackson:

Picking up where The Heart’s Journey Home: California Blend Summer Vacation leaves off, book two in the series follows seventeen-year-old Tori Logan as she and her best friends, AJ and Kalea, accompany Tori’s archeologist father to Israel.

Tori Logan is used to her life looking a little different from the lives of other girls her age. She’s also used to having plenty of adventures, so when she and her best friends see an excavated quarry in one of Jerusalem’s most famous archeological sites, they waste no time checking it out for themselves. Adventurous and fiercely independent, Tori leads her friends into the quarry where they happen upon what appears to be a secret passageway. As the trio laughs and jokes, small rumblings turn into big quakes and the walls start to crumble around them. Kalea and AJ escape, but the site collapses before Tori can find her way out.

When she regains consciousness, Tori realizes she’s traveled back in time to ancient Jerusalem. With her quick wit and drive to survive, she concocts a story about why she, a foreigner, is there and finds shelter with a widow woman named Judith – who looks exactly like her father’s live-in girlfriend, Rachel.

As Tori encounters other people who are spitting images of loved ones back home, she must reconcile truths about herself with the hard realities about the situation in which she finds herself. But will these lessons last once she’s back at home?

Will she even make it home?

Ever since she was young, Nikki Jackson has loved reading and the way books allow you to journey on wonderful adventures without ever leaving the comforts of home. She loved the adventures that took her out of the bottom bunk of her bed (her favorite reading spot) and had her soaring across the clouds to lands filled with wonderful and diverse people. It was then and there Nikki decided she wanted to be a writer – she wanted to have the same effect on people reading books had on her. The Heart’s Journey Home Series is the result.

Frank Roderus says:

“I am truly blessed to be able to make a living doing what I love so very much to do.
I wrote my first story – it was a western – when I was five. It was really awful, as might be expected, but my mother kept that typed and spell-checked (my mother again) short story tucked away until the day she died.

Later I became a newspaper reporter, thinking that books are written by authors which I most assuredly was not. I kept trying to write though, eventually did it wrong enough to learn how to get it right. That first sale, a young adult novel published by Independence Press, was more than thirty years and a good many books ago and I have loved every day since.”

As a journalist, the Colorado Press Association awarded Frank their highest award, the Sweepstakes Award, for the best news story of 1980,and the Western Writers of America has twice named Frank recipient of their prestigious Spur Award.

About The Grass Sweeper God:

Sixteen-year-old Smiley Hanlon is a young woman trapped in a young man’s body. In the 1950’s Appalachia coal fields of Solitude, Virginia, Smiley is placed in the “Mentally Retarded Class” because he is effeminate and wears a blouse and saddle shoes to school.

Smiley is backed by his best friend, Lee Moore who protects Smiley from a father and many townspeople who hate him. Smiley has dreams of becoming an entertainer. Raised by his aunt in a juke joint, as a child Smiley sings and dances on the Formica bar top into the wee hours.

The triumph of the play and his dream is sabotaged by his father and classmate bullies culminating in a tragic and horrific moment that changes both Smiley and Lee, forever.

Smiley and Lee flee to NYC. They learn that prejudice is prejudice whether in the coal fields of Virginia or on the streets of NYC. Smiley suffers at the hands of his real mother who is a religious zealot. She tries to change who Smiley is because he is a boil on the body of Christ.

Author Bio:
DOUG HOWERY has been writing both fiction and essays since 1990. His essays and familial stories have appeared in The Blue Ridge Lambda Press.
In many of his stories, as in “The Grass Sweeper God,” Mr. Howery’s true lode, his font of inspiration is in the passion and suffering he has experienced. Author, Doug Howery penned the novel with insight into his own struggle for sexual identity and personal tragedy. His mother committed suicide in 1982, blaming her two sons’ sexual identity in a letter and declaring herself a martyr for intolerance and social bigotry. She referred to her own sons as “Gutter Rats that Could Rot in Hell” and represents the hate and mistrust that have plagued society.
Suspense author, Maggie Grace, with the North Carolina Writers’ Network writes about her cohort Mr. Howery: “What I like is the riskiness, the cutting edge of the narrative voice we hear. The moments when he lapses into descriptions of the moon, of the horse, etc. are true poetry that offers some relief from the coarseness of the story, and he places them well. He has an ear for the rhythm of the story, a natural sense of when to end–hangs fire with a new way of looking at someone or something, turning the entire chapter on its ear. I like the way he makes it impossible for the reader to stop reading at the end of the chapter.”
Mr. Howery lives in Virginia with his partner of 31 years where he is at work on his next novel.

About Nightmares in Analog: Three Supernatural Tales:

Nightmares in Analog is a collection of three supernatural, page-turning novellas – stories that test the boundaries of lust, vanity, and sacrifice.

Video is Dead

The fading memories Jacob has of his deceased mother are buried on a few VHS home movies. Recently haunted by recurring dreams of her, he sets out to pick up a used VCR and finds one at a local yard sale.

However, this is no ordinary VCR. According to the owner, this particular model not only plays movies, but it allows one to communicate with the dead.

Fueled by curiosity, Jacob takes it home and soon discovers that what he possesses opens a doorway to darkness, death, and lust.

Energy Drink

Miller is frustrated.

Hours at the gym and nothing to show for it. But once a coworker introduces him to RECRÜT, a sports energy drink that guarantees results, the gains come quick.

It isn’t long before Miller attains the godlike physique he’s always wanted. Unfortunately, these twelve little ounces come with a side effect – a high price he never expected to pay.

And the more RECRÜT he drinks, the more his world begins to unravel, uncovering a sinister side of himself he never knew existed.

The Saltwater Marathon

For the past six months, Bryan Combs has been consumed with guilt. He cheated on his wife, Sirena, and fell for the seductive charms of his boss, Carmela.

The adultery proved too great for Sirena to handle, so she hopped in her car and drove it into the ocean. Her body was never recovered.

While the fling may have ended, the remorse remains, and now Bryan buries himself at work, opting for late night shifts at the mall, often drinking himself to sleep in the back office of his once beloved job.

But everything changes the morning they show up…

Strangers at his office door… screaming, pleading and begging him to open the door because they’re being pursued and desperately need somewhere to hide.

As he awakens from his drunken stupor, he begins to wonder if this some sick joke put on by Carmela? Retribution against him for ending their torrid affair?

Bryan wouldn’t be sure until he let these strangers inside.

However once he does, he soon witnesses for himself what has these people so afraid, so panicked, that he finds it impossible to stay caught in his spiral of self-loathing.

Author Bio:
Jonathan Chateau grew up on a steady diet of Stephen King novels and over-the-top action movies from the 80’s & 90’s. In college he studied business, discovered his love for sarcasm and wrote screenplays on the side.

However, once he started writing novellas & novels, he was hooked, as they allowed him much more “literary legroom.” And it’s no surprise that he’s often told that his work reads like a movie – to which he takes as a compliment. His goal is always to write the kind of stories that he’d want to read, but ultimately hopes you’ll enjoy reading them as well.

When he’s not writing, he’s practicing air-guitar solos, painting Warhammer miniatures, wandering the aisles of Home Depot aimlessly until a DIY project calls out to him, or he’s spending time with his girlfriend (who just so happens to have a black belt in sarcasm herself.)

He resides in Tampa, Florida and is one of the rare Floridians who enjoys when the weather drops below 60 degrees.

About Forefathers & Founding Fathers:

An Adventure, a love story, a tale of great perseverance; the characters in the book fought against all odds to maintain their beliefs. Some were killed for those beliefs, while others were beaten and banished – repeatedly. One hundred fifty years before Jefferson and Adams, these were the first American pioneer/patriots and their struggles shaped what would ultimately become our great democracy.

A lost and forgotten piece of history that has waited nearly 400 years to be written, Forefathers & Founding Fathers tells the tale of the founding years in the American colonies. It was a time of extreme turbulence during a period known as the Great Migration. The Puritans that came to this New World in the name of religious freedom actually created the opposite. Boston was a theocracy that oppressed any idea that didn’t adhere to a staunch Puritan viewpoint. It was an intolerant environment that created an atmosphere ripe for the killing of Quakers and the Salem witch hunts. As the story unfolds, you will re-live banishments, hangings, and other atrocities committed against our main characters, who refused to conform. This tale revolves around the personal lives for those four founding pioneers who were determined to create what we now know as the American Democracy.

When we think about the founding fathers of the United States, we envisage Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Washington, and many others in the late 1700s. In the Boston or Plymouth colony of 1640, any one of those founding fathers would have been banished, whipped, or killed for their beliefs. It is a difficult image to reconcile: those sweet Pilgrims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Indians, banishing Thomas Jefferson for the radical ideas of freedom of religion, separation of church and state, or civil government!

This is the exciting tale of four individuals, all of whom are considered founders of the Rhode Island colony. From that smallest of colonies, they opposed slavery, fought for freedom of religion, democracy, and equal rights in the mid-1600s. For those beliefs, they were ostracized, banished, whipped, and killed, but in that process, they planted the seeds that would spout and be used by our founding fathers to grow this great democracy. Against all odds, those forefathers never gave up, and ultimately, their ideals spread across the American continent. This book tells the story of a few of the significant forefathers to our founding fathers.
