He is subversive. He also likes to write about car chases, guns and things blowing up.

About The Nutcracker Reimagined
A MASTERPIECE OF HOLIDAY STORYTELLING…
Imagine, if you will, that it is Christmas Eve.
The candles are guttered, one by one, and a hush falls over the grand parlor. The children have gone to bed, and a tall, gloriously decorated Christmas tree looms in the shadows of the hearth’s dying embers. Beside the tree a nutcracker stands guard, its broken jaw cradled in a kerchief tied about its head. All is quiet in this dark, peaceful scene until the long case clock chimes. Dulcet tones form a gentle symphony, and the parlor comes to life.
Now, the magic happens.
Lose yourself in The Nutcracker Reimagined, a collection of eleven Christmas tales based on the most treasured characters from the famous holiday ballet, The Nutcracker. Sugarplum fairies will dance in your head, as armies of mice and legions of dolls do battle, and a wounded nutcracker and his lady fair become the stuff of which legends are made. From Arabian dancers to living flowers and hosts of angels, enjoy these tales as reimagined characters from the beloved Christmas tradition find their own happily ever after.
And as the clock’s chimes signal the approaching sunrise, you’ll awaken from these magical stories to discover it has all been a beautiful dream of a retold Christmas classic.

Amidst the horrors that descend upon the city, a police officer indulges in a romantic liaison with a beautiful receptionist who might just be the next victim.

Mark Dysan is a pseudonym born out of an anagram of the author’s real name. He is a software engineer from Hyderabad, India. Writing was never on his mind until he won the first place for an English essay writing competition at high school. Since then, he enjoyed writing poems and short stories, mostly for his friends, just to make them read something out of the ordinary and to get to know different perspectives.
The Evil Trance is his first novel.
Kings of Paradise
Ruka, son of Beyla, is a monster. Single-born, twisted, and ugly, Ruka has the bright, golden eyes of a wolf. But his mind is as vast as the open sea.
Born in the frozen, snow-covered wasteland of the Ascom—the land of ash—Ruka was spared from death at birth by his mother’s love. Now, he is an outlaw, and dreams only of vengeance. But can a broken genius find redemption? Can he fulfill his mother’s dreams, and use his gifts to change the world? Or once he has it in his grasp, will he simply break it apart?
Across a vast sea is the white-sand island paradise of Sri Kon.
There, Ratama Kale Alaku is fourth and youngest son of the island monarch men call the Sorcerer King. At sixteen, Kale is a disappointment. His father has sent him away to the navy, perhaps in hopes of salvaging a once-promising child, or perhaps just to get rid of him.
Now Kale must prove his worth – not just to his father, but to himself. He must become more than just a wastrel prince, and quickly, or else lose all hope of purpose, or love.
And though Kale does not yet know how or why, he stands on the cusp of discovery. For his path, his ‘Way’, is perhaps the only hope for his family, his people, and as the storm gathers across an unknown sea, maybe the world itself…

About Free – A Black Ops Romance by Riley Edwards
He was my first love…
I wanted him to follow his dreams. I wanted him to escape the life he hated. I thought I was doing the right thing by not telling him how I truly felt. Until it was too late, and my silence turned into my biggest regret.
Twelve years ago, Shane Owings died, taking my heart with him. I was left devastated and broken hearted. Time didn’t heal, as the years went on I only missed him more.
She was my best friend… the only woman I ever loved.
When I ran off to join the Army, I left behind everything I had ever loved. I thought I was doing the right thing, but my good intentions quickly turned into my biggest regret.
Every year on the anniversary of Shane’s death I watched as Lillian Nelson visited Shane’s grave and spilled her secrets to a dead man. Each year I hoped she wouldn’t be back, that her heart would finally heal and she would move on. But year after year she was back. So many times I wanted to reach out and comfort the beautiful woman, but I knew she would never forgive me. It was my fault Shane was dead.
Until… A terrorist shows up looking for revenge.
I had to come out of the shadows and protect the one woman I had no business falling in love with.

About Aerisia: Land Beyond the Sunset
The mystery of other worlds is not one Hannah Winters ever thought she’d solve. However, the day she spots a brown-robed stranger with a magical staff in a neighbor’s field is the day she also discovers Aerisia, a magical land beyond Earth’s sunset. Here in Aerisia, Hannah is believed to be the Artan, a legendary heroine prophesied to deliver Aerisia from the Dark Powers. Plenty of people, including the Simathe, a race of immortal warriors, and the Moonkind, people of the Moon, are willing to help her discover her true identity, but Hannah’s just an ordinary girl from Earth. She doesn’t have any latent magical abilities and she’s not the Artan. However, her allies aren’t seeing it that way. Neither are her enemies. In fact, Hannah’s life is in jeopardy nearly from the moment she arrives in Aerisia. And becoming the Artan may be the only way to survive…

Before Evil by Alex Kava
About Before Evil by Alex Kava
International bestseller Alex Kava delivers a stunning prequel to her critically acclaimed Maggie O’Dell series.
From her small Quantico office, Special Agent Maggie O’Dell has profiled serial killers using Polaroids, faxed copies and scraps of evidence provided by homicide detectives from across the country. She’s gained a reputation for successfully profiling killers and solving crimes without ever stepping foot at a real crime scene.
Then comes Albert Stucky, and nothing will ever be the same.
Stucky is a sadistic madman who enjoys his twisted games as much as he enjoys the kill. Pieces of victims start showing up in takeout containers, strategically left for unsuspecting bystanders to find. Sometimes the body is dumped near by. Others are never found.
Maggie is tasked with profiling the murders. Despite all her skills and talents nothing has prepared for this. For the first time in her career she’s seeing the gruesome crime scenes firsthand, because this madman has chosen the backwoods of Virginia as his killing grounds.
When Stucky discovers an attractive female FBI agent is part of the task force to stop him, he begins to taunt Maggie. He leaves notes and bits and pieces as if they were clues for a morbid scavenger hunt. Each step of the way he’s daring Maggie to catch him if she can, all the while planning to make her his next prey.
Let the chase begin.

Yoga: The Beginner’s Ultimate Guide – Using Ancient Exercises To Improve Physical Health And Psychological Well-Being
About Yoga: The Beginner’s Ultimate Guide – Using Ancient Exercises To Improve Physical Health And Psychological Well-Being
Did you know that physical inactivity is one of the leading causes of death in the world today?
In 2012, the Scottish Government conducted a health survey that discovered that physical inactivity had contributed to 2,500 deaths each year. Another study by the World Health Organization in 2002 also suggested that physical inactivity is a leading cause of death. The study discovered that a lack of physical activity was responsible for an estimated 11% of breast cancer, 12-13% of strokes, 16-17% of colon cancer, and 22-23% of coronary heart disease cases, which are all life-threatening diseases that lead to death.
The modern man is facing a serious physical health crisis.
On top of this, the modern individual also faces a wider variety of complex psychological phenomena than ever before. More than anyone prefers to admit, a tremendous amount of the problems that we face are a direct result of the way in which we think; that is, the blame can very often be put right at the feet of the individual. Thoughts can be said to be just as addictive, if not more addivctive than modern day drugs and alcohol.
In this short, yet eye opening read, the author brilliantly explains how to execute the following through Yoga:
• Enhance Clarity
• Expand Consciousness
• Engage in Mindfulness
• Detatch From Negative Emotion
• Improve Well-Being
