The Veil: Testament I and II by Joseph D’Lacey  

About The Veil: Testament I and II by Joseph D’Lacey

Some call it The Long Silence, others The Hush. Whatever it is, the world has gone quiet. No electricity, no engines, most of the people gone. There are survivors, small groups enduring as best they can in a seemingly abandoned world.
At night, the landscape glows with unnatural light. The stillness is broken by the desolate cries of the lost population, returning now to search for…no one knows what. What is certain, though, is that those they drag into the shadows do not return.
The Veil contains the final testaments of two disparate groups; a band of survivalists barricaded into a single block of an American city, and a young family hiding in a remote part of the English countryside.
But there are enemies among the survivors too, using the cataclysm to serve their own desires. If the end of the world can’t cleanse the human heart, what reason can there be to continue?

Author Bio:
I grew up in a large family number ten out of eleven children, eight of them being older brothers. Quickly I developed a great sense of humor, mostly out of necessity. One of my greatest joys is sitting on the porch where we all were raised and hearing the stories from years gone by. Quietly I laugh to myself, as I notice how they embellish the stories more and more each year.
Storytelling was passed down from my grandfather and mother. I caught the bug at a very young age. If my head wasn’t in a book, then I was off somewhere with a notebook, jotting down stories of what I would write if one day I became an author. Although the notebook may have vanished, the stories are still vivid and waiting for the right time to be told.
Despite having an amazing family, there have also been some sorrows in my life, including the loss of loved ones. Over the years, I have spent countless hours volunteering for different organizations and acting as a caregiver to those dearest in my life. As a result, supporting the elderly became of utmost importance.
As I approached a milestone birthday, I decided to take my passion for writing and blend it with my desire to continue to help others. As I write my stories, I hope they touch someone’s life. Within the layers of the romance, the foundation remains throughout and is one that is dear to me make a difference in someone’s life each day!
In 2016 I met someone who encouraged me to push myself even further and try my hand at spicy intrigue. One year later I have four books in this new series, and each one is pushing my limits just a bit further.
Like the wind, my life changed directions several times over the years, yet one constant remains: my desire to one day start a non-profit organization to help families who are affected by Alzheimer’s and to leave this Earth a little better than when I entered it.

Trapped in the Cracks  

About Trapped in the Cracks

Struggle is the only thing that’s guaranteed. But how much struggle would we consider to be obscene?

Working a legitimate job in construction to steer clear of his drug-trafficking past, Nick Bernard makes the daring decision to conspire to commit one last illegal act, one intended to change the trajectory of his life and give his family an immediate opportunity to relocate and start a new life of entrepreneurial independence.

While devising a devious plan for a risky heist, an unexpected and heart-wrenching tragedy sets Nick on a quest to settle a score before moving across the nation to solace and safety.

On the surface, Trapped in the Cracks is the gripping story of Nick Bernard’s pledge of vengeance for his brutally battered sister–hospitalized by the ruthless kingpin of one of the city’s most notorious organized crime syndicates. Methodically peeling away layers of the characters’ entangled lives, the author exposes the contrasting journeys of struggle of several men and women through the gritty criminal underworld. From the complex challenges of their inner-city upbringings to the serendipitous crossings of their corrupt paths, their intertwining tales are laced with desperation, violence, malice, and hope.

Who is Nick Bernard?
*Devoted Husband
*Loving Father
*Frustrated Criminal
*Unwavering Vigilante

Trapped in the Cracks is a riveting crime novella for readers who love the brilliant and rich writing of authors like Toni Morrison, Stephen King, James Baldwin, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Edgar Allan Poe, but who also enjoy thrilling cult classic dramas in the vein of Pulp Fiction, Training Day, Boondock Saints, The Usual Suspects, and Taxi Driver.

Author Bio:
Though Trapped in the Cracks is my first complete work of fiction, I have been an ardent writer of prose and poetry for many years, and an avid reader, of everything from comics to classics, most of my life.

Like a weary horse to water, in times of despair, I have always found my way back to the banks of a clear flowing stream of woven words. As a young kid attempting to grow, seemingly in the midst of a storm, I sought distraction from the disheartening circumstances in which I was born. To maintain calm within as my world was whipped with wind, I wrote. I jotted drafts of short stories, and filled callouts with the dialogue of my imagined and illustrated characters in my own amateur comic books. As a child, outside of completing one of my many absorbing drawings, I rarely found a sincere reason to smile.

My adoration of beautifully crafted prose and poetry prompted me to sculpt my own inspiring works of art from the expressive clay of boundless words. When I unexpectedly won an essay contest as a sophomore, my potential for writing was realized. However, seldom truly restful, my youth was stressful. And, as a young adult, hastily penned poems became the therapeutic medicine that kept depression and stress at bay, as I repeated the lie that everything would be okay.

Though it is purely fiction pulled from my imagination, Trapped in the Cracks was greatly influenced by the experiences of friends, family members, neighbors, and myself, while growing up in Gary, Indiana in the ‘90s. This was a particularly dismal decade for the city. Through distribution, addiction or imprisonment, nearly every family was touched by crack cocaine or heroin. Some were rocked in all three ways, by both drugs. Ensuing gang struggles over territory and profit skyrocketed Gary’s per capita murder rate—at times exceeding that of major U.S. cities. My most enduring memories of this bleak period are of nights when the sheer volume of gun-fire was mind-bogglingly senseless; and seeing addicts—who to me, at a young age, looked like metamorphosing zombies—seemingly strewn like litter up and down stairwells, spilling in and out of homes and aimlessly drifting down dreary streets.

Besides spending much of my youth in the ghettos of Gary, other life experiences that influenced this work include three proud years of service in the U.S. Army; nearly two years of justly warranted, but definitely not regretted (For the many lessons the isolation and quiet allowed me to evaluate and learn about myself, life, and the world, at a time when, unbeknownst to me at twenty years of age, I actually understood so little.), incarceration; and nearly eighteen total months living in NYC homeless shelters. Through it all, I read.

Authors who have had a profound influence on me over the years include James Baldwin, Miguel de Cervantes, Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, George Orwell, James Patterson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Charles Saunders. Some of my favorite books of fiction are Don Quixote, The Pillars of the Earth, Invisible Man, Beloved, Home, Tar Baby, Sula, Animal Farm, 1984, Imaro, Kiss the Girls, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Coldest Winter Ever, The Alchemist, Angles and Demons, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Stand, Giovanni’s Room and Crime and Punishment, amongst many others.

My obsession with intricate rhyme schemes and alliteration came from reading the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and General George S. Patton and listening on repeat to the verses of 2pac, AZ, Big Daddy Kane, Big L, Big Pun, Canibus, Common, Dead Prez, DMX, Eminem, Immortal Technique, Jadakiss, Kool G Rap, Nas, Papoose, Rakim, Scarface, The Notorious B.I.G., T.I. and Young Jeezy.

I was born and raised in Gary, Indiana. After seven years in the borough of Brooklyn, I relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I currently reside.



To Die a Thousand Deaths  

About To Die a Thousand Deaths

Timothy Dark discovered human teleportation only to immediately condemn it.

After the first and only human trial, conducted on himself, he sabotaged his machine, resigned from his position at the Scientific Agency for Genetic Exploration, and demanded the destruction of his life’s work. His superiors appeared to acquiesce, and so he vanished.

Now, one year later, his machine has been stolen. Facing a personal loss that has left him reeling, Dark is forced to return to SAGE in order to recover the Helix and confront his demons. Reuniting with those he left behind, he’s forced into a race against time, where he and the SAGE team must reclaim the stolen machine from a terrorist group bent on destructive world change – or risk ushering in a new world order. But his misgivings remain, and his reason for leaving still looms large:

The Helix broke him, and it will break anyone else who tries to use it.

The Sigian Bracelet by George Tome  

About The Sigian Bracelet by George Tome

On a beautiful summer morning some 1,250 years before the start of our story, the fleet of an advanced civilization arrived on the Antyran home planet. It wasn’t a pleasant encounter – at least not for the Antyrans, because the aliens burned their ice cities to the ground and locked the whole star system inside a space distortion that held them captive ever since, hiding the stars.
After such an awesome display of destruction, they went back to where they came, but not before investing an Antyran, called Baila I, as the ruler of the world.
Despite the constant barriers imposed by the long string of Bailas, and the ever-hotter wall of fire created by the light of the star trapped in the distortion field—which reminded them of their pledge of obedience to the sky masters—the Antyrans progressed. After they developed their first fusion engines, they built colonies on the other two planets inside the distortion.
And then, on another beautiful day, the discovery of a few fragments from an ancient spaceship buried in a ravine on one of the recently colonized worlds will open up the chest of madness.

Gillabrian, or Gill, as friends use to call him, is an Antyran archaeologist. After stumbling upon the terrible secrets of the alien visitors, he finds himself in the unenviable position of being hunted on all the Antyran worlds, and not only there.
The path laid before Gill forces him to change, to discover that he has the strength to overcome his fears and make the right choices even against overwhelming odds. But beyond that, he is compelled to explore the meaning of being alive, to glimpse the fine line between life and death, and find how technology would eventually blur their boundary.
Being thrown in the river of madness, he will reach the point where any choice is a bad choice, when defeating a foe could open the path for an even greater evil, when the light at the end of the tunnel is the hideous grin of a technological singularity bent on assimilating everything, its tentacles as long as the Universe.
Will our hero prevail and find a way to keep the secrets of the Sigian Bracelet?

The novel is an action-packed space opera with plenty of space battles, adventures, and virtual fights taking place in ancient times—the players being Antyrans connected to a virtual world of game islands floating in the sky of a giant planet.

Being a perfectionist, it took George Tome some twenty-five years to create the Antyran world, the last ten of which spent on the fifth (and final) iteration.

The novel was officially released in 22 Dec 2017 with a FREE Promotion on Amazon.
After two days, the eBook skyrocketed from around #100.000 to #44 in the Amazon FREE Best Sellers Rank, even reaching #1 in the Sci-Fi Best Sellers! Thousands of book readers downloaded it in the FREE days.

If you want to discover more, visit the book’s website www.thesigianbracelet.com where you can see the story’s prologue, illustrated by Adam Kuczek, a very talented concept artist who works on some of Hollywood’s blockbuster movies.

For a limited time, the eBook is only $0.99!

Author Bio:
Ever since graduating the university, I dreamed of becoming a writer. I started writing a sci-fi novel some twenty-five years ago, but being a perfectionist, I had no intention of publishing it before it became really interesting.
I started from scratch again and again, until ten years ago when I embarked on the fifth (and last) iteration. A new world was born, and this is “The Sigian Bracelet” – my debut novel.

I’m a science geek. I love all aspects and wonders of the world, but most of all astrophysics. I also like to travel a lot, each time to a different place and country if possible.
My background is in IT; I took part in some large government, banking and retail projects as a consultant and software architect.
I’m married and have two smart kids. The older one, a boy, loves science and never misses an opportunity to ask a million questions, until his father begs for mercy. He even likes reading instead of playing on the smartphone. My small girl’s dream is to become a fearless warrior and loves competitions – mainly bike, swimming, and ski, in which she already won an impressive hoard of shiny medals.

About Relativity (Suspended Animation Book 1)

Be A Hater: A Polemic on the Hater Mindset  

About Be A Hater: A Polemic on the Hater Mindset

What do Taylor Swift, Cognitive Psychology, Gucci Mane, Dissent, and The Most Dangerous Person Alive have in common? The answer is the “Hater Mindset”. In “Be A Hater” Dr. Parham examines the emergence of the “Hater Mindset” in contemporary culture. This book delves into a subtle and subconscious cultural shift in the concept of a “hater”. The shift from viewing a “hater” as someone trying to hold you back or stop you from succeeding, to viewing a “hater” as anyone who disagrees or dissents from your opinion. This shift while subtle has strong implications for critical thinking, the value of relationships, an individual’s happiness, cognitive entitlement, and more. In “Be A Hater” Dr. Parham brings this subconscious shift to the surface and equips the reader to counter its effects by challenging them to “Be A Hater!”
