Some Dark Holler by Luke Bauserman
About Some Dark Holler by Luke Bauserman
Ephraim Cutler has blood on his hands and a hellhound on his trail.
When his mother forces him to kill an innocent man, Ephraim’s quiet life in the Appalachian Mountains is thrown into turmoil. With a bounty on his head, Ephraim flees to the hills and hollers, where he discovers that his crime has drawn more than the law’s attention – the Devil’s in town with his eye on Ephraim’s soul. Desperate to escape, Ephraim is torn between two clashing figures: an outcast granny doctor rumored to be a witch – and the local preacher. As the line between grim reality and the supernatural disappears, Death rides the ridgetops on a pale horse, and the Devil’s hound haunts the backwoods. Ephraim must decide who to trust, evade the hangman’s noose, and find redemption.

Jerry Pociask has led an eclectic lifestyle. His love of nature, his interests in Native American spirituality and Celtic lore often conflicted with his need to work within the constraints of the corporate world. Eventually, he found a satisfying balance. Leaving the corporate life, he rekindled his desire to help others see and achieve their own greatness.
A Life Coach with over 10,000 hours, Jerry worked with the developmentally disabled and returning Iraq/Viet Nam military veterans. His experience taught him some of the simple things which bring meaning to one’s life.
A term as Chairman of the Board for the Grand Traverse Boys and Girls Club in northern Michigan allowed him an opportunity to work with local native tribes, fueling his affinity for native spirituality. It was there he was honored with an Ojibwa name which translates to, “He who sees clearly.”
Jerry’s first book titled, “Call Me Grandpa,” explored reflections on being a father and then the prospect of being a grandfather. “Grandma, Me and Tree,” expanded these thoughts on Native and Celtic lore beliefs and the defining connections between man and nature.

Cobra Z
One thing that is lacking in much of the zombie fiction I have read is a detailed description of how the zombie outbreak starts and how society collapses. The bulk of this novel is based over the events of one day, and follows the release of a virus manufactured by religious fundamentalists who unleash it on the unsuspecting city of London. We see how the virus is released, and follow the various characters as they struggle to survive and escape the contagion that rapidly spreads throughout the city’s population. We also see the UK governments hopeless attempts to stop the spread, and witness the rapid break down in society as a city of ten million people turns upon itself.
The main character is Major David Croft, a special investigator and trouble-shooter for The Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, a sub section of MI5. He first encounters the virus when he is called to deal with an earlier outbreak in a high security government laboratory, an event which introduces several other major characters and sets the book up for its apocalyptic events. We learn why the virus was released, but not the ultimate goal of its creator.

Book 1 of the “necropolis Trilogy” published by Severed press
Tampa Two
It was a decade ago when P.I. Burnside arrested Judy, a teenage runaway, for prostitution. He tried to help her, but she betrayed him and he paid an enormous price — losing his LAPD job, along with his honor and reputation.
But Judy is back in L.A. again, and is now desperate for Burnside’s help. Her life is in danger, and she tries to persuade Burnside to accompany her into a dangerous situation. While Burnside isn’t fooled this time, she still manages to rope him in, and he quickly finds himself to be a person of interest in a grizzly Santa Monica homicide.
The story showcases Burnside at his wise-cracking best, exchanging quips with an assortment of fascinating characters. This well-crafted novel is the embodiment of the classic Southern California noir mystery, set against a Los Angeles backdrop, a city that many think they know, but few really do.

Grace for Amateurs
I had tried everything: therapy, medication, meditation. Everything except God.
Lily Burana was in crisis. Desperate for rescue from her depression and anxiety, the punk-rock-girl-turned-writer feared she would die. She was down to her remedy of last resort: faith.
A lapsed believer who had drifted away from the church and into a life on the margins during her young adult years, Lily had long believed that Christianity had nothing to offer her. Then an unmistakable sign from above led to her unexpected decision to let God in—just a little bit. But how could she come to terms with a religion she had dismissed as hostile and intolerant?
In this collection of linked essays that chronicle her spiritual recovery, Lily explores what it means to embrace “a faith of surprisingly Jesus-y shape.” Lily navigates her own unique path toward a trusting relationship with God as she addresses topics as diverse as coming out as Christian to your non-Christian friends, the intersection of faith and motherhood, and what it means to confront your history of mental illness and trauma.
Whether recounting her history as a “baby Goth,” extolling the healing power of glitter, or wrestling with God for control over her life, Lily proves that you don’t need to have a flawless faith in order to experience God’s grace in action.
“Grace for Amateurs is that rare Christian book packed with humor, depth, kindness, intelligence, and inclusion. If you yearn to return to the heart of faith—boundless, agenda-less love—sit down with Burana. She’ll make you laugh and restore your hope.”
—Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior

Awakening – The Morrigan Chronicles by N.A. Montgomery
About Awakening – The Morrigan Chronicles by N.A. Montgomery
The Morrigan – Celtic Goddess of War, Fate and Death.
I am a warrior of the Tuatha de Danann. History writes us as a supernatural race in Irish mythology that battled demons and the Fomorians – a race similar to ours and our rivals.
The last thing I remember, I fought alongside King Arthur and his men to defeat the Fomoire and an evil God. Then… I remember nothing.
I am Morrigan, but I am no Goddess and no myth. The world has spun on for centuries without me and my people. The only traces of us existing in legend. There are mysteriously few demons and new creatures I’ve never encountered, vampires and werewolves, that roam the world. The Gods are back to playing their twisted games for power and threaten to end the entire realm.
There is little hope until – we are awakened.
