The Cthulhu Child by David Brian
About The Cthulhu Child by David Brian
It was eons ago that the Great Old Ones withdrew from this realm, choosing instead a continuance at the center of the universe. Nevertheless, it is often whispered by those who claim knowledge of such things, that a number of these Elder Gods – the lower rank and file, if you will – decided to hold this ground, so enamored were they by the cults that danced and spilled blood in their names.
But, as Bob Dylan so eloquently points out, the times they are a changing – and now, even ancient deities must adapt in order to survive.
Abandoned space gods, an unfaithful husband, a sociopath rapist, and a broken society with a social welfare system that presents horrors of its own, and lastly, though by no means least in this eclectic collection of stories, a flash fiction homage to James Herbert, featuring his most lethal creation.

Some friendships are meant to last a lifetime.
Book Two in The Gift Saga: The continuation of Evanthia’s Gift…
In 1961, five little girls moved into a suburban neighborhood and became inseparable, lifelong friends. They called themselves the ‘Honey Hill Girls,’ named after the street on which they lived. As teenagers they shared one another’s ambitions and dreams, secrets and heartaches. Now, more than thirty years later, they remain devoted and loyal, supporting each other through triumphs and sorrows.
Evanthia’s Gift follows the life of Sophia Giannakos. In Waiting for Aegina the saga continues from the perspectives of Sophia and her friends as the story drifts back and forth in time, filling in the gaps as the women grow to adulthood.
Naive teenage ideals are later challenged by harsh realities, as each of their lives takes unexpected turns. Now nearing their fiftieth year, Sophia, Demi, Amy, Mindy and Donna stand together through life-altering obstacles while they try to regain the lighthearted optimism of their youth.
Through triumphs and sorrows the bond between five lifelong friends cannot be broken as they stand together to overcome life-altering obstacles while trying to regain the lighthearted optimism of their youth.

Instead, she worked in the optical field for 40 years and is the proud mother of two accomplished young women.
Her debut novel, Evanthia’s Gift, is a women’s fiction multigenerational love story and family saga, influenced by her Greek heritage, and the many real life accounts that have been passed down. She continues to pick her father’s brain for stories of his family’s life in Lesvos, Greece, and their journey to America. Her interview with him was published in a nationally circulated magazine.
Evanthia’s Gift: Book One in The Gift Saga was a 2016 award finalist in the Readers Favorite Awards in the Women’s Fiction category. Waiting for Aegina: Book Two in The Gift Saga is Kammenou’s latest release.
Effie Kammenou is a first generation Greek-American who lives on Long Island with her husband and two daughters. When she’s not writing, or posting recipes on her food blog, cheffieskitchen.wordpress.com, you can find her cooking for her family and friends.
As an avid cook and baker, a skill she learned from watching her Athenian mother, she incorporated traditional Greek family recipes throughout the books.
She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts from Hofstra University.

Someone asked me why I wrote The Deadly Caress. A newspaper article captured my attention and I started to thinking… what if a person was to discover that the woman she thought was her mother wasn’t. How would she feel?What if this mother was murdered? What would this person do? Then there’s a scary scene with Amanda driving down a mountainside and that comes from my memory banks. I grew up across the road from a very bad intersection and every weekend there would be at least one horrific accident. Some of these were youths speeding or chasing each other. Others were drunks or drivers who had miscalculated the sharp turn and careered into an oncoming car or the nearby light post. My dad would run over to see if an ambulance needed to be called. He’d take blankets over if the person/people was badly injured and I would help him. I find my characters everywhere and nowhere.

The first book I purchased was Voyage into Nowhere by James Wood. This got me hooked on reading fiction. Later I read horror books about Dracula. I ventured to Science Fiction & Fantasy, reading books by Robert Heinlein, Jerry Pournelle, Piers Anthony, and many others. I have read thousands of books, by many authors over the years.
As well as becoming an avid reader, I was also enthused by aircraft. I joined the USAF at 17 and became an aircraft mechanic. I worked on the F-4 Phantom II, the T-38, the F-16, and the F-117A. I am a veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm. I separated after 11 years with a knee injury. I couldn’t rely on my knee to give me the stability to walk on the odd angles and narrow ledges, of the aircraft I loved to work on any longer.
While in college, I use to torment my English teacher. I found out she had an avid fear of death and turned and twisted all of my writing to that subject. Anything she told me not to do I did, just to show her I could. I spent two semesters tormenting her and got top grades and praises from her. While in college I found another passion. I loved ancient history, especially concerning ancient civilizations.
After reading what must amount to be thousands of books, I decided to turn my hand to writing. I am currently working on writing my fifth novel and enjoying every minute of it. I have Ideas for several more adventures and I am eager to bring them to life.

Tales from the Red Caboose by Joseph M. Erhardt
About Tales from the Red Caboose by Joseph M. Erhardt
Why is that big cat smiling?
Booze shelf—second from right—that’s not a bottle!
What is an alien doing in a book of train stories?
Stash is the Red Caboose’s resident raconteur. He trades tales of his railroading adventures for beer and Caboose-owner Laughing Crow’s occasional dinner “specials.” When a stranger arrives and takes more than an ordinary interest in Stash’s stories, it becomes a question as to which of the raconteur’s tales are fable, and which—if any—are true.
Tales from the Red Caboose is a linked collection of five train stories, each of which goes off the rails just enough to make the SF reader want to come along for the ride.
Promo! Discounted Friday, 6/30/2017, to 99 cents and Saturday, 7/1/2017, to $1.99 before returning to the eminently reasonable regular price of $2.99.
