   Author Bio:
   A survivor of sexual abuse, I have recently written the true account of my childhood, titled: Life After Hell: Surviving Sexual Abuse. I have tried to convey what happened to me as well as my journey to finally getting justice.

   A lot of my own experiences have gone into my fictional works, especially my first book The Man of My Dreams. I created a vigilante vampire that rescues women and children from rapists and child molesters……

   I’ve loved Vampires and the paranormal ever since I can remember and always envisaged myself writing a book or two on the subject! I have written 5 books in The Dream Series so far: The Man of my Dreams, Be Careful What You Wish For, The Chosen One, Succubus: An Erotic Companion and A Match Made in Hell. All Paranormal Romance novels with Vampires(of course) as well as a bit of blood and gore thrown in and the 4th one is slightly on the erotic side! These characters are very close to my heart and I hope you will come to love them as much as I have.

   I’ve also written my first Contemporary Romance trilogy which will be released in July 2014. The “Someone to Love Me” series will consist of 3 novellas: Undeserving, Unforgiving and Understanding. I hope you enjoy them.

   I recently published a short story (Why Won’t Someone Help Me?) about my health issues and the trouble with getting diagnosed or treated for invisible illnesses.

3. The Warrior

   About The Warrior:

   A man with no past
   Nobody knows much about Zeb Carter. He doesn’t do romance, avoids friendships… and when asked about his work, says he is a security consultant.

   A man on a mission
   The ex-Special Forces operative has seen it all before. But when he witnesses barbaric acts in the Congo, he can’t simply walk away. Plagued by the scale of the unspeakable crimes and its victims, Zeb breaks the rules – both his own, and those whom he works for – by seeking his own brand of justice.

   A man with no future
   With a maverick intelligence analyst, Broker, along for the ride, Zeb finds himself up against an adversary who is more than a match for his skills.

   From the rainforests of the Congo to the concrete jungle of New York, Zeb enters a shadowy world – a world where he alone is interested in justice. Everyone else wants the affair buried… and Zeb along with it.

   The Transcender Trilogy is a fast-paced, action-adventure-paranormal romance series beloved by fans of science fiction, fantasy, and young adult.

   In TRANSCENDER: First-Timer, Seventeen-year-old Jaden Beckett is plucked from her quiet Connecticut existence and dropped into a post-apocalyptic alternate earth where the surviving population resides in enormous domed cities. Agent Ralston of the Inter-Universal Guidance Agency befriends Jaden and helps her assume a new identity while promising to find a way to get her home safely. But in her new life Jaden’s a princess, and she has her mother back–a dream she never imagined possible. So when she finds herself falling for the darkly compelling Ryder Blackthorn, all thoughts of returning home quickly vanish. Will IUGA force Jaden out? Or will she discover the truth–she’s a Transcender and capable of traveling among parallel worlds at will.

   In STREAMING STARS, Jaden returns to Domerica for an opportunity to choose her ultimate destiny. Agent Ralston sets out three paths open to her: She may remain with her loving family in Connecticut, resume her alternate life in Domerica with the man she loves, or embrace her astonishing gift and join the Transcender community permanently. Jaden believes she knows where her destiny lies, but her mother’s grave illness, Ryder’s confusing actions, and a scheming uncle who has his eye on the throne complicate her decision. Will Jaden finally follow her heart? In the end her decision is anything but simple.

8. The Littlest Cowboy by Maggie Shayne

   About The Littlest Cowboy by Maggie Shayne:

   Baby on his Doorstep!

   Sheriff Garrett Brand has raised his entire brood of siblings single-handedly, and he’s done his best to teach them some values, to mold them into honorable, responsible, and trustworthy human beings. So when a baby lands on the doorstep of the Texas Brand, his first question is which younger brother is in for a butt-kicking? But the little fellow isn’t named after Ben, or Wes, or Adam, or Elliot. The little feller is named after him–Garrett Ethan Brand–according to the note his mama left behind.

   He’s still racking his brain to figure it all out, when a woman shows up at the ranch in the dead of night, spitting, fighting mad, and accusing Garrett of murdering her sister and stealing the baby!

   Chelsea is confused, heartbroken, and too mad to think straight, and the same trouble that found her poor sister is right on her tail. But of all the places she and the baby could’ve wound up, Garrett thinks this ranch is the best one.

   Because this is one family that knows how to pull together and trouble doesn’t stand a chance against The Brands of Texas.

9. The Feeder by Mandy White

   About The Feeder by Mandy White:

   Brutal vigilante justice…

   A killer stalks the streets of Los Angeles. Victims of the butcher known as ‘The Feeder’ are mutilated while still alive, with parts severed and inserted in their mouths.

   When Camille places a drunken birthday phone call to her twin, Sammie becomes worried about her safety and flies to Los Angeles to bring her home. After finding the aspiring actress-turned-prostitute slaughtered in a hotel room, grief-stricken Sammie steps into the role of copycat killer. Suspecting that the killer is Camille’s abusive boyfriend, Sammie embarks on a bloody quest for revenge, copying the modus operandi of a brutal serial killer known as The Feeder. Walking the streets disguised as Camille, Sammie resolves to lure the real Feeder out of hiding. Sammie seeks out drug dealers, pimps, rapists – all men who caused harm to Camille. The men are found disemboweled, force-fed their own organs and carved up like human Picassos. The bloodbath will not end until Camille’s murder has been avenged.

   Can Sammie return to a ‘normal’ life after committing such unspeakable acts?

10. The Story of THE RAG!

    About The Story of THE RAG!:

    In the short course of less than one year, a small-town newspaper which was run on a shoe-string was featured on the front page of two major newspapers and on network news, all due to covering the news with loud flashy headlines that ‘shouted’ the news rather than boring its readers to tears. In short, the news made news.

    That was just the beginning, before long the newspaper would be the target of an organized effort by a county sheriff and his deputies and a candidate for states attorney to clean the paper off newsstands the night before an election and resulted in a landmark First Amendment case which is now the law of the land.

    Author Bio:
    And sure enough, as the deputies had expected, the paper carried a front-page headline declaring “Fritz Guilty of Rape,” referring to the candidate’s guilty plea to a charge of carnal knowledge of a 15-year-old more than 30 years earlier, along with a story about a complaint filed against Voorhaar over his handling of a sexual harassment claim.

    Rossignol filed a federal civil rights suit a year later, claiming that the officials had violated the First, Fourth and 14th Amendments, as well as state law. A federal district judge threw out the suit, finding that the deputies had not acted “under color of state law” when they bought the papers, but as private citizens. And because no “police action” occurred, Fritz and Voorhaar got off, too.

    The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals saw it differently. In a unanimous opinion by Chief Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, a three-judge panel ruled in January that the deputies’ conduct amounted to a “systematic, carefully organized plan to suppress the distribution of St. Mary’s Today” because they disagreed with its viewpoint, and to “retaliate against those who questioned their fitness for public office.” That’s exactly the “kind of suppression of political criticism that the First Amendment was intended to prohibit,” Wilkinson observed.

    Just because the deputies were acting outside their normal working hours didn’t mean they weren’t using the power of their office to carry out their plan, the court found. Like law enforcement officials who conspired with Ku Klux Klan members to intimidate former slaves, “the conduct here…cannot be absolved by the simple expedient of removing the badge,” Wilkinson wrote.

    If the deputies disagree with what St. Mary’s Today had to say, they are free to denounce the paper, Wilkinson suggested. They can even sue for libel. But as he concluded, “to summon the organized force of the sheriff’s office to the cause of censorship” “belongs to a society much different and more oppressive than our own.” One where the government, not the citizen, decides what is the truth and what are “outright lies.”
