A little girl is born into Hitler’s home for the Lebensorn. She is torn from her mother’s arms and thrust into a treacherous world where the very people sworn to protect her are not what they seem. Reichsfuhrer Himmler himself christens the child and names her Katja. Then Kaja is given to an SS Officer and his wife to be raised as a perfect Aryan child for the ‘New Germany.’. But, as Hitler’s Third Reich begins to crumble, the world becomes a dangerous place for Katja.

Author Bio:
I am an American author. My father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, When I was very young I learned about the Holocaust. I couldn’t understand how something like this could happen. So, I began to research and learn more. I met with survivors. I even met with children and grandchildren of SS officers. But I still had no answers. I cannot say that I have all of the answers to all of my questions even now. But what I do know is that soon all of the survivors will be gone. Their message must be remembered, the sacrifices that they made must not be forgotten. And so I humbly and with the utmost humility try to tell their stories. It is painful, but I must convey the darkness and horror of the time, but I also want the world the know and celebrate the unsung heroes. Because there were many ordinary people who acted in heroic ways. I realize that writing these books is a great responsibility. I pray every day that I am able to do this correctly. I am trying to reach out and touch many people, not with the message of the horrors but with the promise of hope. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my work. It is an honor that I never take lightly.

 



Ten Years in Italy, Three Weeks a Human – A Memoir  

About Ten Years in Italy, Three Weeks a Human – A Memoir:

Bigotry, still a plague in the 21st century. Some people don’t even know how prejudiced they are. Every person born on this planet is human. There are no superior or inferior births. The world is a perfect mosaic of nations, and we are all equals. However, many think they have the right to consider themselves superior just because were blessed by geography.
Some of us have to leave everything they know in the pursuit of a better life.
Italy, one of the most beautiful countries in the world, was a dream that turned into a nightmare.
Slavery at the end of 20th century, exploitation, tears, solitude, abuses, are the key points of this poignant real story of survival. Many immigrants or emigrants will relate to it.
“When everything and everyone is against you, what do you do?”
“I give up.”
“No, you don’t! You fight, change strategy, adapt, work harder than before.”

Night Break by Carey Decevito  

About Night Break by Carey Decevito

She’d give anything to be what he needs.
He wishes she would see what he does when he looks at her.

On the eve of a new mission, Dalton Kippers gets the surprise of his life when the cyber angel he’s been in pursuit of, shows up out of nowhere.

A threat to his life, Devolin Taylor rushes to Dalton’s rescue to share the information she’d dug up. After all, his accepting the case had been her fault in the first place.

Persuaded by Dalton’s implicit trust in her abilities, Devolin joins his taskforce at Nightshade Securities. Only, working in close proximity to the man seems to be a detriment to both their sanity. Anything less than an arm’s length and her brain short-circuits just long enough for trouble to lurk. And when that trouble comes knocking, it might be too late for them to get over their hang-ups and embrace the blistering chemistry they share.

In the attic of his dilapidated family mansion, Greg builds an army of reanimated fetal pigs, stoner lunkhead servants, flying piss-monkeys, and raccoon bodyguards. Greg has taken all that he can stand. The villagers want him and his family gone. It’s all headed for a savage, gore-splattered showdown between good and evil in small-town Ohio.

Zane (The Flames of Vampire Passion Book 1) by Elaine Barris  

About Zane (The Flames of Vampire Passion Book 1) by Elaine Barris:

SET YOUR NIGHTS ABLAZE WITH THE FIRST BOOK IN THE FLAMES OF VAMPIRE PASSION SERIES

London Beckley (aka Lindy Beck):

“Human life is short. A flicker of time, and then it’s over. Live it while you can… With me.”

Those were the outrageous words Zane said to me the night I attended the adult convention to try to network and sell some books.

I had left my husband to pursue my life on my own terms rather than put up with one more word of insult. Once I arrived at the event, I was startled to find someone already at my table, Zane, claiming to be my assistant for the night. As the event progressed, amidst his antics of reading excerpts to chittering ladies, and flashing what I thought were fake fangs, he made his intentions towards me crystal clear.

Little did I know how drastically my life was about to change with Zane’s entrance into it.

Zane took me from my colorless world, and immersed me into his vibrancy.
Soon, he was inside me in almost every way possible.
My conflicted mind.
My hidden walls protecting me.
My damaged heart.

The immediate and undying intensity between us was both an awakening of my true self and an overwhelming rush ripping me apart. I wasn’t sure if I would survive the ways he made me feel in my body, heart and soul, much less the salacious, climax-inducing visions he could send directly into my psyche.

After a night of interrupted intimacy, and another of heated exchanges between Zane and my mother, I threw away my inclination for sanity, and accepted his invitation to take a walk on the wild side with him for the next few weeks.

Life had served me enough bitterness in the day. For some reason, it had decided to reflect its loving moonlight, and I wasn’t asking any questions.

Still, I wondered if he would survive my mother.

Zane:

Forever is a long time.

When you’re as old as I am and you find the person you want to be with, you go for it, and don’t look back.

I discovered London through reading her books, recognized my heart’s counterpart, and looked her up to interact with her on social media. Once she announced the convention she planned to attend, I decided that was the time to go get her, and forbade my friend Jen as well as London’s other vampire fans from going. I needed London’s full attention on me, and knew how to get it.

London is sex all bottled up and I’ve got the corkscrew to pop her open. But more than that, she’s funny, kind, tenderhearted yet damaged in ways I long to fix. The woman sets my dead blood on fire. To Hell with anyone or anything that gets in my way, whether it be a former love interest who dares to threaten her, or anyone else who tries to separate us.

Our passion is a flame that will not be extinguished.

Zane, Flames of Vampire Passion Series, Book One, contains steaming, wickedly hot scenes of vivid intimacy, laugh out loud humor and depth of heartfelt connection between Zane and London of real emotion.

Can their passion for each other survive a jilted lover, and heart-stopping intimacy? Even more worrisome, can it survive London’s domineering mother?

$0.99 for a limited time!

There is no denying destiny.

Sixteen-year-old Tasia Wren was born with the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. She knows a thing or two about the supernatural, but she’s mostly like any other teenage girl—even when it comes to boys. She’s in love with her best friend Rynne, the boy every girl wants to date, but she doesn’t know how to tell him. Just when she works up the courage to act on her feelings, her life starts spiraling out of control.

Tasia may know things most people don’t, but that doesn’t prepare her for the darkness the demon named Arsen brings to town. He’s not your average demon either. He’s the son of the most infamous demon ever known. The night Tasia meets him is the end of her life as she knows it. She faces death, confusion, and no option to ever turn back. She and Arsen share an inexplicable attraction as well as a much deeper connection, a soul binding connection.

She never thought she was anything special, even with her gift, but greater forces are at work. Even the people she knows aren’t who they seem. Nothing is a coincidence. Vampires, werewolves, demons, angels… Everything Tasia has ever heard of is much more than a fairy tale, and she has to face it all.

Blue Baby  

About Blue Baby:

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…

At the heart of every human being is the need—and the desire—to be happy. For many, happiness is elusive, but for one killer, it’s something to be created. But it’s not as easy as it seems at first, and this “creator” is determined to get it right at least one more time, no matter how many tries it takes…

It’s been exactly a year since Cheryl Bradley was found dead in her bathtub, dressed in a wedding gown with her ring finger severed. With no leads and no more evidence, the case had gone cold. That is, until another young woman is found murdered and posed in the same fashion.

Now, FBI agent Brandon Fisher and his team have been called in to catch the killer before another innocent life is taken. As Brandon begins to pull at every possible loose thread, the idea that the killer’s method of operation is all that connects the women begins to unravel. This serial killer isn’t just out for blood; this is a murderer on a mission.

But the closer Brandon thinks he’s getting to a resolution, the more evident it is that the killer is losing control and slipping up, making the trail even more difficult for the FBI to follow. And unless Brandon and his team can catch up to the killer, the bloodbath will continue to overflow.
