The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet  

keeping-quietAbout The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet:

Sometimes staying silent is the biggest lie of all.

Sophomore Jolia does the one thing no one expects from the girl who has perfected the art of keeping quiet.

She joins the speech team.

Jolia can’t confess the real reason-not to her best friend, her new teammates, or even to crush-worthy rival Sam who offers to coach her in secret.

Keeping quiet might be the easy way out, but when what Jolia doesn’t say starts to hurt those around her, it might just cost her a best friend, her spot on the team, and even Sam.

But she isn’t the only one with a secret. It’s going to take words-her words-to make things right.

If only Jolia can find them.

TDG-New-CoverAbout The Devil’s Graveyards:

A handful of people from across the globe and spanning four centuries, their lives bound together by fate, are guided toward the one thing they all have in common…the island.

A sultry breeze whispers warnings through the palms as a wounded sixteenth-century settler enters the island’s dark cavern, disturbing ancient secrets. Amid intertwined tendrils of vines growing without sunlight, he finds a mysterious power source which will change his life forever. His prayers are answered until he loses the woman he loves. The gift becomes a curse as he walks the earth alone, haunted by her memory.

Four-hundred years into the future, an aging scientist loses his job, his health, and his wife. Approaching the eventide of life, he dreams of youth and yearns for second chances. When his team discovers the island on an old map, he uses an emerging technology to harness the earth’s energy in an attempt to change the past.

The island is an eternal curse for some. For others, it is a new beginning. In a world where greed is a constant threat, the love of a beautiful woman must link them together in an adventure that defies the logics of time.

One Last Time by Jan Strnad  

OneLastTime_MANOFLIGHT1bSMALLAbout One Last Time by Jan Strnad:

Grief counselor and skeptic Claire Devane finds her life turned upside down when the recently deceased begin to return from the hereafter to visit the living one last time. Secrets are revealed. Love and longing… betrayal, murder, guilt… the visitations bring them all out of the shadows and into the light. It’s a strange new world, one that threatens to swallow her whole.

Imagine a world in which the recently deceased are able to visit one person… and only one person… “one last time” for a few minutes. They visit, not as a ghost, but as a real, substantial human being. They may visit with love in their hearts, or malice. They may visit to ask a question, or to give instruction, to apologize or to accuse.

If you were such a person, now deceased, who would you visit? Your children? But what if you have two and can only visit one–which would you visit? Who would your loved ones visit? What if they chose not to visit you, but someone else?

These are the questions explored in One Last Time through the experiences of Claire Devane and the clients she serves, while her own life is turned upside down by the new phenomenon.

Author Bio:
At this point in my life, I’ve lost a number of friends and family members. Some of them passed away unexpectedly.

My mother went into the hospital in Kansas for a routine complaint, was talking and joking when I spoke with her on the phone from California that evening. Her voice was strong, spirits high. She passed away that night.

I had a pal, Mike. We didn’t see each other very often but his voice was often in my head. I learned from a Facebook friend that Mike had passed away a few months before.

And there have been others. So many passings, and so much left unsaid. What I wouldn’t give for a few minutes with each of these people, a few precious minutes to say goodbye, to tell them what they meant to me, maybe to reveal a secret, ask forgiveness, ask them a question.

I thought about writing a story in which people could do that, visit “one last time” with the deceased.

I quickly decided that it wouldn’t work. Some people–the Mark Twains of the world, for instance, the movie stars, the rock idols–would spend all of eternity visiting those who wanted to see them after they passed.

But it could work the other way around. It could work if the deceased were able to visit the living, the people they chose. And then I thought: What if they only got one? A single “one last time” visit. Who would they visit, and why? The concept seemed rich with dramatic possibilities, some of them warm and fuzzy, others terrifying or humorous. The more I thought about it, the deeper I fell in love with the idea.

So One Last Time was born.

The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky by David Litwack

About The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky by David Litwack

“…a fully imagined, gripping read….” – Kirkus Reviews

After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light-two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.

Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.

These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky. A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.

But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.

Onesimus: A Novel of Early Christianity  

Onesimus-front-cover-large1About Onesimus: A Novel of Early Christianity:

Onesimus is a novel of historical fiction in the tradition of James Michener or Stephen Lawhead: an engaging story grounded in sound historical research. The reader is transported back to the Roman empire and the life of a slave. From the back cover:

Onesimus chafes at his life. Born into slavery in a Roman province of the first century AD, educated by his kind master to assist with his trading business, Onesimus is nonetheless unfulfilled and sullen. He believes he could be so much more. The only bright spot in his life is Turia, a beautiful household slave. Together, they have a plan.

The thirst for freedom and power can make a person do terrible things.

Onesimus’ journey is one of betrayal, revenge, and danger—but also wonder and unexpected good fortune. He faces the power and the decadence of the Roman world, but he must also face the contradictions and decadence of his own soul. Should he seek the dangerous path of freedom into the unknown, or should he do the honorable thing and conform to society while hoping for the best?

Or, perhaps, there is a third way…

Through his journey of discovery, Onesimus unwittingly becomes part of one of the most charming and moving stories in human history.

After two years of brutal captivity, Portia Lamont has escaped and returned to her family’s Vermont horse farm—only to find her parents gone to New York to try an experimental treatment for her mother’s cancer, and her childhood friend Boone Hawke running the farm.

Like the rest of her family, Boone has never given up hope that Portia would return. But when she turns up battered, skinny as a twelve-year-old boy, afraid of everything and unable to talk about what happened, he does the only thing he can—try to help her heal. He summons the town doctor and Portia’s parents, and sets out to put this beautiful, broken woman back together again.

Through her family’s love and Boone’s gentle affection, Portia gradually comes back to herself, and starts to fall for her old friend in a whole new way. But one thing threatens her fragile hope for recovery: The man who took her promised that if she ever escaped, he’d kill her. Slowly. And someone is definitely watching her…waiting to make his next deadly move.

About Capturing The Marshal’s Heart by Linda Carroll-Bradd

Jazzy Morgan is set on building a respectable future with the money earned in Miss Veronica’s Pleasure Emporium. Polite society aboard a westbound stagecoach is more taxing than she’d thought, but imagining the fee she’d get from the handsome stranger is irresistible. Discovering the marshal in her boardinghouse room, she can’t resist a little playacting that leads to a sexy night. Jazzy loses a tiny bit of her heart to the man who tenderly considers her needs. The next day, bandits attack the stagecoach and the women are kidnapped. Jazzy is crushed at leaving a beaten Slade behind but plans an escape against huge odds.

Boarding a westbound stage in San Antonio, US Marshal Slade Thomas realizes three of the female passengers resemble the wanted poster for the bank robber he’s tracking. The audacious behavior of one woman draws his attention and his suspicions lead him to search her room. Caught by her return, he can’t resist her playful nature and a rousing night of passion ensues. Then bandits attack, steal the valuables and the women, leaving the marshal badly injured. When Slade tracks down the kidnapped women, he must choose between hunting the bank robber and saving Jazzy. A choice between his duty and his heart.

Lost Dogs by Kenton Kilgore  

Final coverAbout Lost Dogs by Kenton Kilgore:

When our world ends, their struggle begins!

Buddy–a German Shepherd–and Sally–a Beagle/Basset Hound mix–are the beloved pets of Rob and Gennifer Bennett and their young daughter Audrey. Their home is Kent Island, MD: a beautiful, peaceful place, good for raising a family, good for having dogs.

When unearthly beings strike without warning or mercy against humankind, Buddy and Sally lose the ones they love and the lives they knew. Now they must band together with other “lost dogs” to find food, water, and shelter without their owners.

But survival is not enough for Buddy: he holds out hope that Rob, Genn, and Audrey live. And that he can find them before inhuman forces ensure that man is never again Earth’s master.

Author Bio:
I’m on a mission to reinvent young adult fantasy and science fiction. To offer an alternative to the cliches and the tired tropes. To present something besides the rip-offs and the retreads and the “trendy.” I create characters you can care about, and worlds you will get lost in. I tell tales that keep you turning pages, fill you with wonder, and make you think.

The self-perpetuated rumor that my biological father is Robert Plant is, alas, untrue. Or so my mother asserts. I was manufactured in Germany in 1966, and shortly thereafter, was exported to the United States. I invaded and made semi-permanent base camps in Illinois, Indiana, Texas, and Arizona before being forcibly exiled to Maryland in 1979.

There, I infiltrated several establishments of so-called “higher learning,” and absconded with a number of documents that fraudulently allege to my education. In 1988, I was sentenced to life imprisonment with my Most-Favored Concubine, code-named “Joni.” In 1993, we released Daughter 1.0 (code-named “Elizabeth”), with version 2.0 (“Ally Jane”) released in 1999.

In 2012, I published my first literary crime, DRAGONTAMER’S DAUGHTERS, to worldwide indifference. I am currently confined to Scenic, Convenient-to-Nowhere, MD, the largest island in the Chesapeake Bay. I am indentured to a federal government agency of disappointingly non-sinister bent. My family and I live with too many dogs and cats.

When behavioral constraints upon me are lax, I enjoy riding motorcycles; playing Warhammer 40,000; and cheering the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Cause  

TheCauseAbout The Cause:

The year is 2022. America is on the verge of economic and social collapse. The government has made individual freedom its enemy. Hacker Isse Corvus enters a black-ops training camp. He discovers the leaders are revolutionaries seeking to return the U.S. back to its Constitutional roots. Soon the camp fractures. Who is traitor? Who is patriot? And at what point can justice only be paid for in blood?

The Cause takes many of today’s issues to the next logical level: government surveillance and the growing violation of privacy, the militarization of the police force, financial depression and corporate corruption, and the inefficacy of the public vote – painting a very real future in which a revolution could be––or perhaps, must be, born.

The Very Awesome Adventures of RuRu & Rudy  

Screen-Shot-2014-11-23-at-6.08.29-PMAbout The Very Awesome Adventures of RuRu & Rudy:

About:

The Very Awesome Adventures of Ruru & Rudy is an enchanting Holiday tale of an imaginative young girl and her magical iron deer. The two set out on top-secret adventures every Christmas Eve, with one aim, to spread holiday joy.

Written by Janique Muckelvene, JaTawny Muckelvene Chatmon and Jamecia Muckelvene Jackson; three sisters intent on inspiring young children everywhere to use their imagination, dream and wonder. The Very Awesome Adventures of RuRu & Rudy is a story that is sure to become a holiday favorite for families throughout the years. Original story & concept by JaTawny M. Chatmon & Myrna Kresh.

Background:
This book was created in dedication to their father, James “Rudy” Muckelvene. When he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, JaTawn’y daughter (who her father nicknamed RuRu after himself) & her grandfather built a very close bond. The two were inseparable. Each of his grandchildren had their special moments and times with him throughout the years and this time it was RuRu’s turn. Unfortunately, on December 20, 2010, he lost his battle to Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Prostate.

A year after his passing, JaTawny and her mother happened upon a magnificent deer in the Free People©showroom in Tyson’s Corner Mall. Being collectors of all things awesome, JaTawny insisted that she must own this yarn wrapped, brightly adorned, iron deer. Her mother encouraged her to purchase what was once a display piece in the store that now had a “for sale” sign around his neck; and before you knew it, the 150 lb. deer was hers! Without thought, she named him Rudy. With deer in tow, JaTawny now needed to come up with an “excuse” to give her husband as to why she was bringing home yet another “exquisite” treasure! During their 45 minute drive home, she thought up the idea to create a project using RuRu (her daughter) and Rudy. She didn’t know exactly what the project would be about, she just knew it would be something about RuRu & Rudy going on adventures! She spoke to her photography rep at the time who came up with the idea that it should be a Christmas book! And so it began…

JaTawny & her children created each backdrop using cardboard paper and various arts and craft supplies as her agent came up with first parts of the original story. They began pitching the story to a few publishers with no great offers and after some time, the two split ways and RuRu & Rudy was shelved.

JaTawny began to grow tired of chasing photography jobs for pay and decided to focus on photography projects that meant something to her. In the midst of it all, for extra cash while following her dreams, she sold Rudy the deer on craigslist. Shortly after, regret set in. She decided she wanted to move forward with completing this project in dedication to her father and enlisted her two sisters to help her create a new story to go with the images she’d created of RuRu & Rudy!

The sisters finished the story, got it published and are hoping this will become a holiday favorite for families year after year!

Author Bio:
JaTawny M. Chatmon-
Children’s Fashion Photographer and Author JaTawny Muckelvene Chatmon has earned a reputation for taking captivating and ethereal images of free spirited children (usually under the age of 12). She’s hopelessly fascinated by capturing “what is real”, and “what is surreal”.

JaTawny was born in Japan and grew up an ‘army brat’. Upon returning to the United States, JaTawny immersed herself in her aunt’s local theater company. It was during those impressionable years that her passion for the arts developed. Deep within her soul she came to love the stage, set design and theatrics as a whole. Shortly after her twenty first birthday, her love for photography began to blossom. At twenty five and a new mom, she began to appreciate the beautiful concept of being able to capture the entire life story of an individual with the click of a camera shutter.

“I find it spiritually fulfilling photographing real life moments and things that mean something.” says JaTawny. “In 2010 after documenting my fathers battle with cancer and ultimately losing one of the most important people in my life, I stopped chasing after commercial jobs simply for pay and began working on projects that meant something to me. Watching my father’s life pass before my eyes (while I captured his last moments with my camera) was the single most painful thing I’ve ever been through and the hardest life lesson I’ve ever been forced to learn. This life is not forever. I now wish to spend my life focusing on my book and photography projects (usually with the help of my children) and molding my career around my life with no self-imposed limits. I want to leave something important behind. I want to use my camera to capture and create work capable of touching the souls of others.”

JaTawny also spends her spare time photographing homeless families and donating clothing, food and prints through her photography project “Project Altruism”.

Her work has been featured in British Vogue, Vogue Bambini, Babiekins Magazine, Babytalk Magazine, Parenting Magazine, YMCA, National Education Association, National Center for Missing and Exploited Kids, Until There’s a Cure Foundation, Warriors Fighting For His Cure and more.

Jamecia Muckelvene Jackson-

Jamecia Muckelvene is a self-styled freelance writer based in Bowie, Maryland. Jamecia draws inspiration from her family experiences, most poignantly her Army veteran father’s struggle with prostate cancer which later evolved into a rare strain of cancer classified as Sarcomotoid Carcinoma. Her first published work, The Very Awesome Adventures of RuRu & Rudy, was written in collaboration with her sisters and dedicated to their father’s memory. Jamecia’s early years were spent traveling extensively due to her father’s postings in Asia, Europe, and across the U.S., experiences that provided her a unique worldview and continue to inspire her creative pursuits today. Outside of the written word, Jamecia’s passion for shedding light on prostate cancer led her to found the non-profit Warriors Fighting For His Cure in 2010.

When away from the writing table, she finds herself at the centre of her family – with her husband and two children named, naturally, for her parents Pearline & James.

Janique Muckelvene-
The First LoveChild, born on Labor Day of 1972 to my loving parents James and Pearline Muckelvene.

Privileged to live an open minded lifestyle as an Army Brat, head enriched my sense of diversity by my travels to Japan, Virginia, Georgia and Germany during my Elementary, Middle School and High School years.

After High School I became an Assistant Manager for Things Remembered, got married and eventually was blessed with my 4 children: DeAndre, ShaiNeace, AbryAnna and DeJean.

During my Divorce process I recommitted myself to my passion for words and began writing again, thanks to some encouraging words from my sisters Jatawny and Jamecia.

The Rose Master  

trm-revealAbout The Rose Master:

The day Anne Tinning turns seventeen, birds fall from the sky. But that’s hardly the most upsetting news. She’s being dismissed from the home she’s served at since she was a child, and shipped off to become the newly hired parlor maid for a place she’s never heard of. And when she sees the run-down, isolated house, she instantly knows why: There’s something wrong with Rosewood Manor. Staffed with only three other servants, all gripped by icy silence and inexplicable bruises, and inhabited by a young master who is as cold as the place itself, the house is shrouded in neglect and thick with fear. Her questions are met with hushed whispers, and she soon finds herself alone in the empty halls, left to tidy and clean rooms no one visits. As the feeling of being watched grows, she begins to realize there is something else in the house with them–some creature that stalks the frozen halls and claws at her door. A creature that seems intent on harming her. When a fire leaves Anne trapped in the manor with its Master, she finally demands to know why. But as she forces the truth about what haunts the grounds from Lord Grey, she learns secrets she isn’t prepared for. The creature is very real, and she’s the only one who can help him stop it. Now, Anne must either risk her life for the young man she’s grown to admire, or abandon her post while she still can.

The first cowboy to fall…

Best Selling Harland County Series Prequel Novella
Jen & Brock

Accounting major Jen Dalton has one more year to earn her Masters before she graduates and moves out of Harland County to find a corporate job and maybe a good-looking businessman to boot. Cowboys were handsome and fun, but they didn’t stick. Neither did ranch hands. Experience has taught her they come and go, and some took a piece of her heart with them. Well, no more handsome, sexy, cowboys. She wanted a stay around, stable, lifetime type of guy.

Then she returns to the family ranch after a ‘hurrah to summer’ weekend with friends to discover Brock, the hot, one-night stand she’d given herself permission to enjoy, is the new ranch hand. And dang it, she’s just as drawn to his sexy grin, gorgeous green eyes and quiet strength. As the summer ends, classes resume, and the holidays near, the handsome, alpha cowboy has her rethinking her future. So does the unborn baby she’s carrying. Maybe sticking around Harland County isn’t so bad—if she could get Brock to stay, and break out of the ‘leave Jen and move on to another ranch’ mold.

Every 20 years, the Shadow Pack arrives in the small desert community of Bleed City, Nevada. To honor the pact made 150 years ago with the werewolves, the town offers up their eldest daughters for the Choosing–a ceremony where the shifters pick their virgin brides.

Like most werewolf packs, the Shadows need human females for mating and breeding so they can replenish their werewolf bloodlines. Arabelle Winton considers the entire process somewhat barbaric, but as the oldest female in her family, she must take her place among the other women. What she doesn’t expect is to catch the interest of Alpha Greyson Burke.

Yes, Grey can have her body any way he wants… but Belle will never give her heart to a werewolf.

Some people are born boring. Some live boring. Some even die boring. Fred managed to do all three, and when he woke up as a vampire, he did so as a boring one. Timid, socially awkward, and plagued by self-esteem issues, Fred has never been the adventurous sort. One fateful night – different from the night he died, which was more inconvenient than fateful – Fred reconnects with an old friend at his high school reunion. This rekindled relationship sets off a chain of events thrusting him right into the chaos that is the parahuman world, a world with chipper zombies, truck driver wereponies, maniacal necromancers, ancient dragons, and now one undead accountant trying his best to “survive.” Because even after it’s over, life can still be a downright bloody mess.

He graduated from Texas Tech with a B.A. in English, because evidently he’s not familiar with what the term “employable” means. Drew has been called one of the most profound, prolific, and talented authors of his generation, but a table full of drunks will say almost anything when offered a round of free shots. Drew feels kind of like a D-bag writing about himself in the third person like this. He does appreciate that you’re still reading, though.

Drew would like to sit down and have a beer with you. Or a cocktail. He’s not here to judge your preferences. Drew is terrible at being serious, and has no real idea what a snippet biography is meant to convey anyway. Drew thinks you are awesome just the way you are. That part, he meant.

Private Lines by Emma Gates  

PrivateLInes_r11_amazon_redoAbout Private Lines by Emma Gates:

FREE on KINDLE December 2-4 2014:”A business-driven debut thriller, laced with romantic entanglements.

Gates’ novel, set in 2003, is split into two interlocking parts: One is set in Milwaukee, the other in France. Tyler is a handsome, brash international executive for a major American telecom company, GlobeAll, looking to close a substantial deal in France. But Delphine, the chief negotiator for the French company, FranceFon, resists signing on the dotted line. Their tug of war becomes more complicated when their attraction threatens to blossom into something more than professional friendliness. She eventually discloses the source of her discomfort with the deal–she strongly suspects Tyler’s company of deeply unethical and illegal practices. Later, back in Milwaukee, Carly, a GlobeAll regional executive, hears swirling rumors about her company, and she soon makes Tyler’s acquaintance. They struggle to process the revelations about the company they love and discover that they share a crackling sexual tension. The artful prose effectively captures the sensual dynamism that underscores the entire narrative…The author also does a credible job of educating readers about the complexities of the telecom industry without burying them in confusing jargon or gratuitous detail. (Gates is an international telecom expert and even went to the same business school as her protagonist, Tyler.) She also nicely juxtaposes the jagged cynicism of big business with the tenderness of the love stories. A light, entertaining tale of love and commercial intrigue.”
