Author Bio:
Steven Sheiner is an optometrist turned published author, proving that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams!

He began his college career as an accounting major, and then proceeded to change his major three times. He had no idea what we wanted to do professionally, but always loved writing. His parents told him what most parents tell their kids when they want to pursue their dreams: “You’ll never make any money at that!” So Steven went the “safe” route, and became an optometrist. But twenty years later, he still regretted not pursuing a writing career, and decided it was about time. At forty-five years old, after having been an optometrist for twenty years, he decided to write his first book.

Steven Sheiner lives in South Florida with his wife and two boys.



Memories Lost in Time by JJ Harlyn  

memories lost bookAbout Memories Lost in Time by JJ Harlyn

Ben laughed when his friend Hope told him about her theory on time travel, dismissing the idea as pure fantasy. But, when his family’s financial problems threaten to derail his plans for the future Ben is forced to reconsider the possibilities. Now a junior in a very expensive college the possibility of graduation seemed to be slipping away.

Ben’s photographic memory made him the perfect candidate for Hope’s dangerous experiment. Risking everything, he and his roommate William hatch a plot for Ben to travel back two days into the past where he could acquire the money they both desperately need.
But, when the time-travel experiment goes awry, Ben wakes up in his freshman dorm, just as a naked woman emerges from his roommate’s bed. To make matters worse he’s traveled back to the one day missing from his otherwise perfect memory. Will Ben’s visit to the past alter his current reality? Or, is the “Butterfly Effect” nothing more than a device used by movie makers to create drama? Join Ben on his journey back in time where he must once again face the roommate from hell. And who is that mysterious young woman that will rock his world. Enjoy this coming of age story told through a unique variation in time-travel. “Memories Lost in Time” is a captivating page turner you won’t be able to put down.

Author Bio:
At the age of 71, JJ Harlyn is an unlikely first time author. Still working part-time as an engineering consultant he was inspired by a friend who had written his first book after retiring from a long and successful career. His novel, “Memories Lost in Time,” uses the concept of time-travel to create a compelling “coming of age” story. Set in a mid-west college, the story follows three friends as they conduct unsanctioned experiments to further their academic careers while at the same time tackling some significant money issues.
The idea for his time-travel story emerged from a dream that recurred for several nights. Once the story’s framework was created, the author developed the rest of his narrative based on personal experience, people he knew and his grandchildren. The main female character, for example, very much resembles his granddaughter in every way with one significant exception. She’s not a brilliant physicist but rather a sixteen year old high school girl who hopes one day to become a speech therapist. His youngest granddaughter’s request to be a dog, in the book, was most challenging. It required nearly half a chapter to explain why the hero’s little dog was named Emily.
“Memories Lost in Time” is a refreshing variation on the typical time-travel, science fiction novel. It’s light reading that will take you on a journey with Ben and his friends as they challenge the very foundation of time, as we know it. Several twists and turns at the end of the book are a welcome surprise, providing the reader with a most satisfying ending.



Waves  

About Waves:

“The only thing to be done with this country is leave it, once and for all.” Ángel could never have pictured himself in a situation like this — hungry, tired, and unsure if he’ll live to see tomorrow. But no price is too high for his family’s future. Waves plunges the reader into a world of dominoes, rum, cigars, sex, drugs, boleros and sharks, while weaving together three episodes of Cuban mass migration to the United States. A book about Cuba which doesn’t side with left or right but with ordinary people suffocated by circumstances. A tribute to migrants, their hopes and sacrifices.

Perfect Storm (The Exes #1)  

About Perfect Storm (The Exes #1):

Jace
Dark. Dangerous. Messed up. Yeah, I may be all of those things, but with her I’m not. She taught me how to love, how to be a one woman man. Except now my woman wants to leave me, ‘cause I can’t promise her forever. I know I’d never want anyone else but she wants the ring to prove it. Not to mention the baby. But if she knew about my past she’d run far and fast. Then I’d have no choice but to chase her, ‘cause I can’t let her get away.

Cory
I hate him. I love him. I want him. I need him. I hate myself for being weak and caving every time he touches me. But I can’t help myself. He’s just that good. I can’t get over him if I’m always under him, but he’s not letting me go without a fight and you’d have to have an iron will to resist this man.

THE SOUND OF CRYING

John and Helen Kramer are an average married couple living in rural Cambridgeshire, until their four-year-old twins, Edward and Jamie, are kidnapped and brutally murdered. Just when it seems that the Kramers can see retribution in court, the killer’s lawyer leaves the judge with no choice but to throw the case out due to two technicalities and a cluster of police procedural errors. The final nail in the Kramer boys’ coffins is the fact that their killer is a local priest.

John Kramer tries desperately to move forward with his life, but his wife, Helen, cannot, not until she avenges the deaths of her beloved boys.

DS Rhodes of Cambridgeshire CID soon discovers that this is not a regular kidnapping/murder case and all is not what it appears to be.

Helen Kramer has dropped off the grid and is nowhere to be found and the priest is as free as a bird, and alive, but for how long?

What ensues is a deadly game of cat and mouse between Helen Kramer, the police and the priest. Can DS Rhodes unravel the truth and find Helen Kramer before she unleashes her own special brand of punishment on her boys’ killer?

Could you forgive the man who killed your children?

I went in to lay down the law – but all I can think about is handcuffing her to my bed and serving her my own kind of justice.
A dangerous job like mine isn’t ideal for a single dad.
So I took a high profile undercover gig that would help keep me off the streets.
There’s just one problem: my cover is working as a bartender for Starla Jones, the sexiest woman in the city of Chicago – and I can’t tell her my true identity.
I wonder how she will react after she finds outs her brother is one of the guys I’m busting.
Those sexy bedroom eyes, full luscious lips and delicious curves have me wanting to abort mission, and pursue an entirely new end game.
She’s yearning for the punishment I have in store for her – and I’m more than willing to oblige.
I’m trying desperately to stay focused on the matter at hand, but all I can think about is taking her out back and ordering her to ‘spread ’em’ for Officer Daddy.

As much as I’d like to show her the big baton stick I’m packing, I need to stay focused on the mission- or I could lose everything.
