Dark Angels Prey
Signs and wonders can deceive …
Devastated by a heartbreaking loss, empath, Joe Ross accepts a strange, hypnotic priest’s invitation to convalesce at a Quebec monastery. When Joe admits he heard voices as a kid, directing him to save a child in a place called Marion Lake, the priest says, “I will bring you to Marianlake Dominican Monastery. A child lives nearby, a child who’s waited a long time to meet you.”
Inside a world of supernatural confrontation and demonic cutthroats, an engaging cast of characters draw Joe closer to the discovery of a lifetime: the mystical child, Alain Duprielle; Dina Amodeo, the softhearted rocker with a dissociative identity; Carol Ann Page, love of his life, a woman capable of destroying them both; Maggie Page, the great catalyst, the artist whose horrific drawings lead to a long-lost friend and a world-rocking document.
Below the cover of darkness and above a mantle of light, Joe faces a showdown with an old demonic enemy. In a land more inscrutable than Marianlake, he uncovers the startling secret behind three soul-saving paintings. And when events explode in a surprising climax, Joe Ross finds his destiny—and a gift for humanity. But he must outwit the forces of Hell to get it.

Author Bio:
In the early eighties, nervous novice writer, Elizabeth Genovese attended a taping of Toronto’s Front Page Challenge where a friend introduced her to icon historian, Pierre Berton. After Mr. Berton said he was interested in reading her novel, Elizabeth said she ‘just happened’ to have a manuscript in the trunk of her car. “I’ll warn you, if I don’t like it I’ll say so,” he said, “I will not embarrass myself by submitting a bad manuscript.” Two weeks later at 7:00 a.m., the phone rang: “Elizabeth! Pierre Berton here. I think you’ve got yourself a book.” After several re-writes, that book became The Astral Shore.
Elizabeth’s books combine supernatural suspense, mystery, and time travel with recurring themes of love obsession and idol worship. Dark Angels Prey is a supernatural tale of suspense and adventure. The book’s companion, Frankie G’s Miracle, highlights the life of a character briefly portrayed in Dark Angels Prey. Though the novella introduces DAP’s main characters, they can be read and enjoyed as standalone books. Frankie G’s Miracle is free on Elizabethgenovese.com. Elizabeth lives in Napanee, Ontario. You can email Elizabeth at liz@elizabethgenovese.com.

But Duncan left town to become a Navy SEAL.
A cruel text was the last I heard from him.

My V-card.

A nightly ritual of him watching me behind the curtains was our dirty little secret…

Privately Yours: An Erotic Collection
About Privately Yours: An Erotic Collection
From the deepest corners of desire, comes Privately Yours, a collection of molten hot, surprisingly engaging, and unrelentingly raunchy erotica from some of the rising stars of the erotic romance genre. In this erotic anthology, you’ll find such stimulating treats for the flesh and the mind as:
“Brynlee and Mr. Sexy” by D. Onyx Maple and Beverly DeSunsett –
Brynlee had never been more humiliated and angered when she learned her boyfriend of a year, had been cheating on her. To find this out on her one year anniversary, made things all that much more difficult for her. Realizing, she needed to focus more on herself than relationships, she vowed to make sure she never let a guy walk all over her like that again. That’s when Desmond, aka Mr. Sexy, walked right into her life.
He was the man that all women drooled over, but to Brynlee, it was a surprise when she learned that he might not be after just any woman. Could it be her that has caught his eye? Certain that he’s only being smooth because that’s the type of guy he is, she tries to build up a wall that no one can break through. No one except Mr. Sexy of course. A game of pool, mixed with some high-stakes bets, just might be the thing she needs to open herself up to him. After all, it’s clear that he wants it, so what would it hurt to give him a little and leave him begging for more? The truth is, it might just be the thing she’s been looking for since her breakup. Will Desmond be the one person to tear down her wall? Or, will she simply have one night of sex, just to test the waters? Either way, you’re in for a rocky ride.
Three short stories by the ultra hot Kat Savage –
“Meet Me” – What happens when a night of role play goes EXACTLY as planned
“On Her Own” – Witness good girl Shelby’s sexual awakening

“He’s the Boss” by Blair Priestly –
For Gracie McAllister, things couldn’t be going worse for her and her life. After losing a promotion and her boyfriend all in the same week, she was eager to accept a friend’s invitation to go out and just have some fun. What she didn’t plan on, was meeting Matthew Parker. He was the epitome of gorgeous, the perfect guy that was willing to give any woman exactly what she wanted. Gracie seemed to be just that woman, at least for the night. Expecting that it was only a one night fling, they both set out to forget about each other. That’s easier said than done, because when Matt shows up at Gracie’s work, as the new boss, everything is out the window. How can she forget him, when she’s forced to see him every day? Will she forget about her silly fantasies? Or, find herself willing to succumb to his needs, because that’s the one thing that feels right?

By Kat Savage:
What Sets Me Apart in the Crowded Erotica Scene: My intelligence. I don’t write for the lowest common denominator. I write the type of compelling, explosive, intelligent, and sometimes dark erotica that I, as a smart, independent, and sexually confident woman would want to read. I believe that you don’t have to produce thoughtless, dumbed down, or poorly written sex scenes to push someone over the edge.

Enjoy My Misery: Trapped Inside My Mind
About Enjoy My Misery: Trapped Inside My Mind
The story begins in 1973 with a young girl named Maria Vareno. Not only is Maria’s family poor, but her father suffers from mental disorders. After he’s laid off from his job, Maria often comes home to find her father “screaming and crawling on the floor from his hallucinations.” Later, Maria finds some comfort in a relationship with the muscle car-driving Clint Michaels. The couple are barely out of school when they have their first son, James, in 1985. After having their second son and marrying, the two set out on their own. As the young family moves to a larger living space, the narration shifts to James. A talented athlete at a young age, he has great hopes for his future. Popular with girls in middle school and a top sports prospect in high school, he feels greatness should be well within his reach. As his parents’ marriage falls apart, however, he begins a downward spiral that seems to have no end. From smoking a few cigarettes with a group of bad kids to becoming a full-blown burnout (“Fuck school,” James says to himself), he seems ready to hit rock bottom. Quick paced and concise (“Very addicting; I usually couldn’t move from the relaxation,” James says of his experience with Percocet), the story mainly focuses on James and his many misadventures with drugs and the police. While his transition from regular kid to public menace is certainly swift, it is nevertheless believable. Much of James’ introspection leans toward the obvious (in the throes of his drug use, he wonders, “Why was I such a depressed young man—will this feeling ever go away?”). But he remains as real as any like-minded troubled youth in any American town. Absent any moralizing, Roberts’ tale leaves readers to draw their own conclusions about the unfortunate turns a life can take and the willingness (or lack thereof) individuals have to overcome them. Readers who see in James a familiar face are likely to find themselves following his story to its conclusion.

Author Bio:
Most people would look at James Roberts and see an accomplished author and successful businessman. However, he is far from perfect. Not only did James drop out of high school, but he also stumbled into deep depression early in his adolescent life. Although he had been an all-star athlete, he was far from happy. He ended up making regrettable choices in order to feel a sense of belonging and worth, especially following his parents’ separation. Through it all, James knew that one day he was going to share his ‘misery’ with the world. James wanted to prove that you don’t need to be a college scholar or a perfect writer to put your heart on paper. (Just hire a good editor). He writes from the heart even when it is hurting the most. James’ experiences have inspired him to tell his story in order to reach young readers suffering from insecurity, sadness, and addiction. He hopes that one day a stranger will walk by, pick up his books, and understand and relate to how he felt through his words. James published his first book at the age of 30. He continues to write as an emerging author, hoping the world can comprehend his pain. He tries to make up from past mistakes by being the best son, brother, and person he can be to those around him. Maybe, in time, people will understand him, but until then, “Fuck it.” “Don’t judge me based on my past errors; judge me based on my growth from them.” -James Roberts

State of Mind by Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.
About State of Mind by Lawrence W. Gold, M.D.
FROM FIVE STAR REVIEW: This is the brand new (just published 1/21/15) novel by my favorite author of medical mysteries/drama. Lawrence W. Gold. MD now author extraordinaire will keep you captivated with the story lines in all his novels. I have read every one of his novels so far. You don’t have to worry about reading this series in order–they are all stand alone. Dr. Gold, with his vast knowledge of the medical profession writes about timely topics within a fictional setting. State of Mind is about research and the ethical problems that can arise–especially when dealing with psychiatric problems.
Dr. Kimberly Powell, a Ph.D. in neuropsychology, works in a research lab trying to understand the roots of violence by stimulating the brains of aggressive rats to reduce their savagery.
Her successes lead to phase I safety trials in volunteers and prisoners, and then to phase II and III studies in patients.
Soon it becomes clear that Kim’s brain stimulating techniques, besides controlling aggression, offer the potential to cure a number of medical problems including Parkinson’s disease, depression, PTSD, and many others.
When the court instructs her to treat a psychopathic killer, she’s appalled. What would such a killer, if cured, still owe to his victims and to society?
The ethical implications of the research and especially its application on humans are substantial, but so, too, is her altruistic desire to help.
Where is the balance and how far and how fast should these trials proceed—and, at what cost?

Bio:
I was born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, moved to Queens, and then my family ascended to the Island.
After graduating from Valley Stream Central High School, I went to Adelphi, a college then, a university now, and then to medical school in Chicago.
The war in Vietnam interrupted my postgraduate medical training with a year in Colorado Springs and another as a Battalion Surgeon in Vietnam. I spent seven months in the Central Highlands with the 4th Infantry and five months in an evacuation hospital in Long Binh outside Saigon where I ran the emergency room.
I returned intact in 1968 to complete my training in internal medicine and diseases of the kidney, nephrology.
I worked for twenty-three years in Berkeley, California in a hospital-based practice and served as Chief of Internal Medicine and Family Practice and as an active member of the quality assurance committee.
We retired in October 1995 before fate could intervene. We sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge for a life at sea in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Four years later, exhausted from repairing everything on board, (often many times) we sold the sailboat and within a year took the lazy man’s out; we bought a Nordic Tug trawler. We motored around Florida, the Bahamas, and the entire East Coast and Canada.
I’ve written fifteen novels, ten in the Brier Hospital Series, and one non-fiction book, I Love My Doctor, But…, a lighthearted look at the patient/doctor relationship.
I write primarily to entertain, but I can’t help but pass on to readers observations and beliefs culled from years of practice, and yes, my biases, too. In fiction, I strive for realism in portraying the medical scene that is gripping without being melodrama or gimmicky.
With even a minor degree of success in writing novels, comes responsibility to readers. I attempt to produce honest material that reflects my beliefs. Exposing these beliefs to the public through my writing requires courage, stupidity, or both. My fans have been generous, and although nobody enjoys criticism, I’ve learned much from that, too.
The novel that expresses most clearly my candor, and my bias, is For the Love of God. The novel reflects my attitudes toward those who are willing to sacrifice the lives of their children for their personal religious beliefs.
We live in beautiful Grass Valley with 3 year old Wesley, a rescue, and a new member of our family, Billy the Kid, a 19 month old Yorkie.
