A Darkening Path
Are you sure you want your prayers answered?
Frank Smith was. At 39, he had had enough. A big house in the ‘burbs. A high-paying job he hated. Shallow friendships. A spendthrift wife. A loser son. He took his few pleasures where he found them: workouts, parties at the yacht club, liaisons with his intoxicating, cold-hearted mistress. But in his heart of hearts, Frank wanted out.
Little did he know that, in the shadows of his comfortably unfulfilling days, dark forces lurked, plotting to bend him to their purposes.
And now, years later, he finds himself trapped in a mystical realm, led by a spectral guide and forced to confront truths he’d rather forget . . . or never know.
Sometimes answered prayers come at a high price.

13 Ways to Midnight by Rue Volley
About 13 Ways to Midnight by Rue Volley
You’ll never miss the sunlight until it’s gone.
Sixteen-year-old Echo Navarri, daughter of world-famous archaeologists, Alice and Peter Navarri, had spent her life traveling from one expedition to the next as her parents unearthed lost civilizations.
On their thirteenth dig, Midnight, Echo’s twin sister, disappears without a trace. This prompts a year-long search that leaves the family nearly broken.
In an attempt to find some closure they reluctantly host a mock funeral for Midnight without ever recovering her remains.
Nearing the one year anniversary of Midnight’s assumed death, Echo is sent to live with her eccentric Aunt Luna who is the caretaker of the centuries old Navarri Estate in Port Royal, Maine.
Echo attempts to settle into her new life in Port Royal, but soon finds that she’s destined for adventure as the mystery of her family’s history, the sunless town, and its oddly intriguing people teeter on the supernatural.

Surrender to the Cyborgs
About Surrender to the Cyborgs
Wrongly imprisoned whistle-blower Rachel Pierce would rather take her chances with her court appeal than accept her place as the first Interstellar Bride destined for the Colony. She’s stubborn and determined to seek justice—and her freedom—on Earth…but her mates are not willing to risk her life or her future on a system they believe to be both primitive and corrupt.
Maxim of Prillon Prime fought ten long years in the Hive wars. Captured and tortured with his second, Ryston, they escaped only to be rejected by their own people and condemned to life on the Colony with the other “contaminated” cyborg warriors. As leader of Sector 3, it’s Maxim’s duty to set an example for his warriors and summon a bride. When she refuses transport, he can’t allow her rejection to demoralize an entire planet of battle hardened but jaded warriors. Maxim and Ryston transport to Earth where they decide she’s theirs and a maximum security human prison will not keep them apart.
Getting Rachel to the Colony is only the first challenge they will face. Convincing their beautiful mate to surrender to not one, but two dominant warriors is another. Even if they can win her love, a new evil is rising on the Colony and someone close to Maxim will be its first victim. Maxim will be its second, unless Rachel’s love and relentless pursuit of the truth proves strong enough to save him.

Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide That Never Died, by Bob Brink
About Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide That Never Died, by Bob Brink
The doorbell rings in the home of a prominent Palm Beach citizen, quickly followed by a shotgun blast that shatters a window, cracking the calm of a cool January night. Rodger Kriger falls to the floor, mortally wounded, leaving a wife and six children.
Murder in Palm Beach: The Homicide That Never Died is closely based on a sensational, real murder that happened in the posh ocean-side town in 1976. In the thin guise of fiction, the book contains shocking new information never before made public. Author Bob Brink, an award-winning journalist, was a newspaper reporter in the locale where the assassination occurred. It made media headlines for 15 years.
An ambitious prosecutor pins the deed on Mitt Hecher, a hoodlum and karate expert. At Hecher’s trial, fellow jail inmates testify that he confessed. He is convicted and sentenced to the brutal and anarchic state prison at Raiford, where a stabbing a day and a killing a week are the “mean” average.
Judges repeatedly frustrate Hecher and several attorneys working without fees to get a new trial, as investigators pursue myriad scenarios. Meanwhile, his wife contracts a deadly disease.
Was Hecher innocent, and if so, who did it? Did the sons of a wealthy Cuban kill Kriger? Were the operators of a gambling enterprise out to get him? Was a love triangle the basis for the shooting? Did a vicious underworld figure do the bidding of a criminal gang? Was a prominent politician behind the slaying? Those are the questions seeking answers amid the exploration of issues of justice and power.
Murder in Palm Beach is the saga of a battle between a man whose swagger has sent him spiraling to the bottom and powerful, sinister forces determined to keep him there. It is a story of redemption wrapped in a mystery tale reeking with power, sex, violence, and romance.

What Happened to Paul Carter? VOL I
About What Happened to Paul Carter? VOL I
Non fiction Psychological Thriller. Not for the faint hearted, ‘What Happened to Paul Carter VOL I immediately immerses you into the very graphic and true story of Katherine De Bois. Being hunted by a hired hitman, and still on the run.
At first glance it appears a decadent love story, but when you add the word hitman, it is no longer just a romance.
In 2014, after her much loved fiance disappears before her eyes, Katherine is forced into a complex and confusing world of deception, betrayal, hitmen and thugs. Written through the fog of being ill, her memories morph the past and present, (reminiscent of a Quentin Tarentino film), but she is determined to find the truth and ensure her safety.
Don’t be fooled by the romantic packaging as there is a constant sinister undertow as Katherine takes you with her, as she falls in love, only to lose it all, in a totally unexpected way. Just when everything is perfect, it disappears, and then you realize the ending is, in fact, only the beginning.
Leaving you to piece the truth together, and wonder, exactly what did happen to Paul Carter?
VOL II, ‘Collateral Damage’ is the second and hopefully, closing chapter in Katherine De Bois’ being on the run.
Beginning in 2014, as a wonderful love story, it quickly turns dark, and now continues, as she tries to comprehend the colossal changes in her life, when the man she adores disappears, and love is replaced with a hit on her life, forcing her into the dark underbelly of society.
At times, questioning her sanity and the depths of the threat, Katherine shares her fears, and struggles, as her life becomes genuinely twisted and extreme; confronting and offensive. She perseveres through the obstacles, which take her from Australia across international waters, determined to find the truth; the answers, that will hold those guilty to account, securing her safety, and life.
An inspiring story of determination and strength, when all seems lost, and all you have to rely on, is your wits and writing to defend yourself.
Why is she wanted dead? What just happened? Where is Paul? Who are all these people contacting her? Who does she trust? How could any of this possibly have happened? How could this possibly be a true story?
But it is. It’s all true, and it happened because no one stood up and spoke the truth.
This suspense romance story needs to be told and shared. By doing so, hopefully, her experience, will provide solace, strength and hope to others, and ultimately, help Paul be found and brought home.
None of this is what she thought her life was going to be. How could there be so much collateral damage, and seriously, what happened to Paul Carter? Read it, piece it together and help find the answers.

Author Bio:
Michael Lauck was born into a land of adventure where his people lived peacefully with dragons until an evil wizard and his robot army destroyed them all. Left alone, Michael grew up among beasts of the wasteland…
No, not really. Actually Michael was born and raised in the midwest, where he dreamt of wizards and robots armies and beast filled wastelands. He really grew up watching Star Trek and Space 1999, reading old pulp magazines, practicing magic tricks and drawing. At a very early age he saw Tom Laughlin in Billy Jack and something clicked.
A couple of decades later, Michael is taller, teaches kung fu, writes about magic for the website iTricks and still watches Star Trek and Space 1999. He tries his best every single day to be a good husband and father, but still has a tendency to leave Lego sets and half empty cups laying around the house.
A Drop of Paradise by Alex L. Michaels
About A Drop of Paradise by Alex L. Michaels
The only thing Jessica Slade wanted was some peace and quiet, and to finally finish her book.
So, a place called A Drop of Paradise was supposed to do the trick. With its stunning sandy beaches, crystal clear, aquamarine waters and tropical sunsets, it was supposed to cure more than a writer’s block. But, when an unfortunate series of events leaves her stranded on a remote island with an overbearing, arrogant, roguish, but ruggedly handsome stranger, her life starts to seem much more like the romance novels that she writes about.
Broad-shouldered Mike Stone is irresistible, sexy and cooler than a mojito in your hand, and maybe even a perfect, muscled ideal for the cover of her next novel, but not all the imagination in the world could prepare her for what can happen between two strangers on a spit of sand, when sparks start to fly and anger turns to lust.
