About Obsessed:
Elijah
I kill people for a living, but I’m really not a bad guy. At least I don’t think so. I’m just taking out the trash; the fact I get paid to do it is a happy coincidence. Normally I’m a pretty unemotional guy. I fear nothing and no one and I get things done without regret or ever looking back.
But like Superman, I have my own kind of kryptonite and her name is Sidney Lopez.
She never remembers me when she looks at me, but we had a past together. She’d freak if she knew that I know everything about her. She dominates my thoughts, but I know I’m just one of millions of people who adore her and I won’t lie, I’m obsessed. So even if I wanted to, I won’t stop … I can’t stop, until she’s mine.
Sidney
People look at me, but they only see the product of the media and what they think they know is just an illusion. They don’t know the real me. They don’t know that my life is falling apart.
Just when I hit my scariest low, he steps into my life and he saves me.
Elijah’s handsome with an edgy charm and he seems to understand me when no one else does. He’s the hero I always dreamed about. But he’s also incredibly intense and I can’t shake the feeling there’s more to Elijah than he’s letting on.
What are the secrets he keeps so tightly guarded? I’m torn, do I give him my heart, or do I run in the other direction?

Betrayal: A Tall Pines Mystery
About Betrayal: A Tall Pines Mystery:
Marcella Hollister realized a lifetime of hopes and dreams when she was given custody of a child. A cousin of her half-Seneca husband, Quinn, the baby’s mother was murdered in a political plot—and Marcella, who’s never been able to have children of her own, formed an instant bond with little Kimi.
Then a distant relative comes forward to claim Kimi—and Quinn, who Marcella thought understood her pain better than anyone, allows them to take the baby without a fight.
Confused and deeply wounded, Marcella takes off for Tall Pines, their secluded Adirondack cabin. She hopes the peace and natural beauty of the mountains will help clear her head and decide whether to forgive Quinn…or leave him.
But the situation at Tall Pines is anything but peaceful. Her high school lover, Sky, arrives to help out—and Marcella discovers her old feelings may not be as distant as she thought. Worse, a serial killer is stalking young women in the area. And when a teen girl whose mother works with Sky goes missing, Marcella and everyone she cares for wind up dead center in the killer’s sights.

Ashes of Autumn by Maria Grazia Swan
About Ashes of Autumn by Maria Grazia Swan:
Is it even possible for someone to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time? It is if you’re our favorite Italian import, Mina Calvi. This time around, Mina suffers growing pains. Child to woman is never easy, and for Mina the lesson is harder than for most as nearly every aspect of her life is in upheaval. People wander through her life like shoppers at a flea market, raising Mina’s hopes for love and friendship–but in reality they’ve only stopped to browse before moving on. What the girl needs is stability and a place where she can put down roots. She takes aim at that lifestyle, but even this target may not work out. And that thing about being in the wrong place? Let’s just say what she sees or doesn’t see, what she knows or doesn’t know thrusts her into a scenario so dark, Mina isn’t the only one it threatens. Maria Grazia Swan has once again brought us characters that leap off the pages into our lives, action scenes that make us breathe harder and turn the pages faster, and situations that draw emotion to the surface like water in a well bucket. I was spent after this one, but in a good way. Book Countdown from 12/11/14 to 12/15/14 $0.99

About A Familiar Problem:
Natalia Stokes is a loner, a demon loner with some strange ideas about life and, well, death. Banished from Hell for being a trouble maker, would you believe, Natalia is condemned to walk the earth with no one to communicate with. You’d think that wouldn’t bother her but even loners get lonely.
Everything changes when a chance meeting brings her to Lauren, a witch in trouble, and she sticks around long enough to help her in the guise of her familiar. The problem is, she then realises she doesn’t want to leave. She quickly learns, however, that life doesn’t always go as planned and she is forced to make a decision that will affect her for the rest of her…let’s call it existence.
If she can ever figure out what good is, she’s sure she’ll hate it. But that was before Zerachiel turned up, a hot as Hell angel with a naughty streak a mile wide. To complicate matters even more, a demon arrives in the form of the mighty Abaddon, the subject of a childhood crush. The question is, will she choose good or will she choose evil?
Decisions, decisions…

Then Misty took up kick boxing and gave Frank a good kick in the goodies.

Author Bio:
Ryan Stevenson was born in Abilene, Texas, in the early 1980’s, and currently resides in the state of New York, where he began taking a more serious approach to writing. As an author, Mr. Stevenson has gravitated towards stories that deal with the human condition. Many of his stories, as well as poems, have been inspired from moments in the lives of people he has met along the way on his own life’s journey.
His latest publication, A Life Awakening, finds its main character, Ethan Elliot, at a crossroads in his life, while his spirit guide, William, attempts to steer him in directions that he never would have considered on his own. If you have found yourself in a similar state of indecision, A Life Awakening will offer you the opportunity to review your own life, and assist you in making those decisions that inevitably move you along the river of life.

Earth Vs. Aliens by T. Jackson King
About Earth Vs. Aliens by T. Jackson King:
Jack Munroe grew up in the Asteroid Belt and learned to never take anything at face value. In space, you assume, you die. So when Aliens show up in the distant Kuiper Belt, out beyond Pluto, asking for a First Contact ‘chat’ with his crewmates on the comet hunting spaceship Uhuru, he warns his captain not to trust words but to get the heck away. His evolutionary biology studies have taught him that bright skin colors, shark-like teeth and talons mean these Aliens are star-traveling predators! But that violates the ‘feel good’ society promoted by Earth’s Unity government. A bloody fight ensues and Jack realizes these Aliens are keystone predators aiming to add Sol system to their home territory. Jack leads a battle to ensure Humans will never be slaves to Aliens. If someone has to die to make space safe for humanity, then those dying will be Aliens! This story explores evolutionary biology as it may apply to Aliens and Humans in a First Contact event. Also, there is a nice romance for the Jack Munroe character. Finally, a supporting character is Maureen, 78, a grandma space battle veteran who becomes vital to Jack’s efforts to kick Aliens out of Sol system!

Author Bio:
T. Jackson King (Tom) is a professional archaeologist and journalist. He writes hard science fiction, anthropological SciFi, dark fantasy/horror and contemporary fantasy/magic realism–but that didn’t happen until he was 38.
Before then, college years spent in Paris and in Tokyo led Tom into antiwar activism, hanging out with some Japanese hippies and learning how often governments lie to their citizens. The latter lesson led him and a college buddy to publish the Shinjuku Sutra English language underground tabloid in Japan in 1967. That was followed by helping shut down the University of Tennessee at Knoxville campus in 1968 and a bus trip to Washington D.C. for the Second March on Washington where thousands demanded an end to the Vietnam War.
Temporary sanity returned when Tom worked in a radiocarbon lab at UC Riverside and earned an MA degree in Archaeology from UCLA. His interests in ancient history, ancient cultures and journalism got him several government agency jobs that paid the bills, led him to roam the raw landscape of the Western United States, and helped him and his wife Leslee raise three kids.
A funny thing happened on the way to normality. By the time he was 38 and doing federal arky work in Colorado, Tom’s first novel STAR TRADERS was a stage play in his head that wouldn’t go away. So he wrote it down. It got rejected. His next novel was published as RETREAD SHOP (Warner Books, 1988). It was off to the writing races and Tom’s many voyages of imaginative discovery have led to 14 published novels, a book of poetry, and a conviction that when Humans reach the stars, we will find them crowded with space-going Aliens. We will be the New Kids On The Block! This theme appears in much of Tom’s short fiction and novel writing.
Tom lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA and hangs with a group of smart and tolerant Westerners. Divorce has taught him to smile a lot and to work at being a Nice Guy. Still, he is pretty weird. Has been since fourth grade when he began reading SciFi. Since then, he and Authority have rarely been in agreement.

Tempesta’s Dream – A Story of Love, Friendship and Opera by Vincent B. “Chip” LoCoco
About Tempesta’s Dream – A Story of Love, Friendship and Opera by Vincent B. “Chip” LoCoco:
INSPIRATIONAL HISTORICAL FICTION NOVEL OF A YOUNG, ASPIRING OPERA SINGER GROWING UP IN ITALY
“The author’s contagious love of opera and his faith in human decency sing through this loveable page-turner of a story.”
-Susan Nicassio, Author of Tosca’s Rome
“An intelligent and entertaining lyrical journey . . . A rare, beautiful story with passion and opera pulsating through each page. LoCoco has woven a unique novel with exceptionally developed characters, realistic dialogue and a well-balanced narrative.”
-Penn Book Review
Tempesta’s Dream is a novel by New Orleans writer, Vincent B. “Chip” LoCoco. It is the story of an aspiring opera singer coming of age in Milan; a tender and moving love story; a testament to the bonds of friendship; and, at its core, a tribute to the beauty, majesty and miracle of opera.
Giovanni Tempesta always dreamed of becoming an opera tenor and one day singing from the stage of the La Scala Opera House in his hometown of Milan, Italy. But with no real training, his dream has little chance for fulfillment . . . One day, he meets and immediately falls in love with Isabella Monterone, a dark-haired beauty, whose father, a very rich and powerful Milanese Judge, refuses to allow his daughter to date a penniless musician . . . At the lowest part of his life, Giovanni comes upon the Casa di Riposo, a rest home for musicians established by the great opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi . . . It is at the Casa Verdi that Giovanni meets Alfredo del Monte, a blind, retired opera singer with a secretive past who gradually becomes his mentor . . . Could Alfredo be the one person who could assist Giovanni in finding the break he needs? Or is Giovanni destined to be on the cusp of reaching his life long dream, only to find failure? . . . Tempesta’s Dream, at its core, is an Italian opera love story. The author tells the story simply and swiftly with an ending that is both an emotional and poignant moment of both “amicizia e amore” (friendship and love.)

Chip LoCoco was born and raised in New Orleans. He is an attorney, with an emphasis on estate planning.
He graduated from Jesuit High School in New Orleans, and pursued a BA degree in History at Loyola University of New Orleans, graduating in 1990. In 1993, he was awarded his JD degree from Loyola, and went into the private practice of law with his father. He has been a practicing attorney for over twenty years now. Chip has been named as a Top Rated Lawyer in Trusts and Estates and is rated as one of the Top Lawyers in the New Orleans area.
He always loved reading novels, with his favorite writer being J. R.R. Tolkien. Chip was a history major, and really never imagined writing fiction. However, when his son was just a few weeks old, the idea of a story came late one night to him. Those notes that he wrote down that night in outline form were the basis for Tempesta’s Dream – A Story of Love, Friendship and Opera, his first novel. That novel’s story concerns a young boy pursuing a career as an opera tenor.
A lifelong lover of music, Chip’s passion for opera dates back many years now. He has an extensive opera collection, which survived the devastation to his home by Hurricane Katrina. He has seen operas all over the world at some of the greatest opera houses. Chip has been asked to give talks on opera as well as the Sicilian-American culture of New Orleans.
After the birth of his daughter, Chip set out to write a second novel. That work, Bellafortuna, has been nationally recognized, being named a Short List Finalist in the William Faulkner Writing Competition. A date for publication has not been set yet for his second novel.
Chip is married to his wife of 15 years, Wendy. They have two children, Matthew and Ellie and a beagle, named Scout. They reside in their beloved city of New Orleans, where if you try to find them on a Sunday in the Fall, they will be somewhere rooting on their Saints.

About The Road to London:
A boy is about to fly to his freedom to London, or is he jumping out of a window to his death? His life flashes before your eyes, starting as a normal story, yet, growing up in a ‘grey city’ that does not allow him to be ‘different’, he finds refuge in his lies, to others and to himself, in his dreams and in hallucinations…
The journey from self-denial to self acceptance takes you through his encounters with love and friendship (sometimes confused), sexuality, discrimination and the great experience that is growing up, in an honest, no holds barred narrative, which is both literary yet enjoyable to read. In the meantime, letters addressed to his (imaginary?) great love, My Dear, come from the (possible) future of the boy, in a gay club in London.
Mixing prose and poetry, music and art, ‘The Road to London’ is a journey into the subconscious and a cry for freedom and the right to be different.
Poignant, intense and at times funny, quirky, dark but in search of light, ‘The Road to London’ is a journey from self-denial to self-acceptance and love suspended between different worlds.
This is a novel with a protagonist who happens to be gay, not just for LGBT readers, but for anybody with an open mind, in Author Roger Hardy’s words, ‘this novel is gay like the Bible is for Jews,’ (Roger Hardy Literary Blog).
‘…a brilliant short novel.’ – San Francisco Book Review
‘…a modern-day classic!’ – Self Publishers Showcase
