About La Chanson de l’Observation

It’s never a good idea for sociologists to fall in love with someone they’re studying-especially if they’re alien sociologists.

Node AR1x40 lives his life on Earth as human Javier Flores, observing and reporting on human behavior as part of The Commonality’s sociological study. When he meets Theo Zedek, a pastry chef and owner of the La Chanson Cafe, Node AR1x40 violates the main parameter of the experiment–he falls in love. And their love may ruin far more than his career.

Told in the style of a scientific research paper, La Chanson de l’Observation is the third in The Space Within These Lines Collection of romantic magical realist, fantasy, and science fiction stories exploring memory and loss in an effort to show that which connects all people, the power of love.

This Science Fiction Romance was first published in Issue 8 of A cappella Zoo, was chosen by guest editor Gina Ochsner for Issue 10, The Best of A cappella Zoo: A Five-Year Retrospective, and in Issue 15 Queer & Familiar: the trans, gay, and lesbian collection.

About Survival of the Sparrows

In the near future, an army of half a million Russian, North Korean, and Middle-Eastern soldiers launch a coordinated offensive, invading the United States with unparalleled precision.
They call themselves the People’s Liberating Army ­­–– the PLA.
May and Winston Sparrow live on the route that the PLA is taking on its way to sack Atlanta. The Sparrows, married for fifty years, don’t intend to flee the imminent invasion. Like many others in the tiny town of Johnsonville, Georgia, they dig in and make preparations. Winston, a structural engineer by trade, devises a simple strategy ­­–– build a false wall in their small barn and wait out the offensive inside the tiny, hidden space. They have enough supplies to last two weeks, more than enough for the enemy to pass through Johnsonville, but to Winston and May’s horror, instead of just passing through, the PLA chooses the Sparrow property as its headquarters. Their secret sanctuary becomes an unwelcome front row seat to the atrocities of war.
When they run out of food and water, Winston has no choice but to leave the spurious safety of the barn and escape the PLA’s fortified defenses. Outside, he finds a new world­­ –– sometimes exciting and invigorating, more often brutal and devastating ­­–– where he encounters adversaries from near and far.
While he is away from May, Winston must defend himself, help those more vulnerable than he, bring closure for old friends, and in an unlikely turn of events, he even befriends an enemy soldier. When things can’t possibly get any worse, and the threat of large-scale annihilation looms, the U.S. Army presses Winston back into military service, forcing him to rely on the skills he honed during the Vietnam War, or risk losing it all.

About The Anchor is the Key by Linda Anthony Hill

Celeste leads a quiet life as a psychic in a small town. That is… until she is drawn in to a haunting murder investigation. A sweet little old lady client has started spreading the word that Celeste is not only psychic but she is also a healer. She has no desire to be a healer, but now her phone is ringing non-stop. And to top it all off, she seems to have adopted a ghost who has no idea how long he has really been dead. From the author: This is really a light, fun read. Celeste gets into some tight situations, but the book is not some kind of horror book. It’s an enjoyable ghost story with a few twists and turns to keep it interesting. I own a haunted house called Hill House Manor with my husband, Del Hill. A lot of my stories are inspired by tales from paranormal investigators who’ve had experiences at the house. The Anchor is the Key was built around the haunted house I own and the haunted town I live in. I hope you enjoy it. Available for free download on Sat. Feb. 10th only.

Author Bio:
Linda was born in Sanford, Florida. Her family moved to Daytona Beach before Linda started grade school. It was a wonderful city to grow up in and Linda had the opportunity to meet people from around the world. She was a published poet before she started High School. Writing took a back seat to travel and then family until she was in her fifties when she decided to publish a book about her and her husband’s haunted house. “Hill House Manor: The Guest Book” is available on Amazon.

Then she was inspired by her grandson, who was afraid of ghosts at the time, to write a ghost story for children age 8 to 12. You’ll find “Branden’s Ghosts” for sale here on Amazon.

Her next venture was inspired by a village in Africa in the country of Kenya. This village is a three hour walk from fresh water. They have no electricity. When her freind, Catherine told her about the village and the school she was helping to promote, Linda was compelled to write a book for the children in that school. This was a labor of love and all profits go to the school. You can find the book here on Amazon as “Sirere’s Calf”.

In 2014 Linda decided to get serious. She joined a writers club and was challenged to write over 20 ghost stories. She found an audience on Facebook. She was further challenged to write a novel incorporating ghost stories with the paranormal and psychic to evolve into a murder mystery. “The Anchor is the Key” is available here on Amazon in paperback and Kindle version.

Linda lives in Texas with her husband Del. She is retired from Dental Technology and spends her time working on her next book “The Spider House”, and enjoying her 3 grandsons and, of course, giving tours of the infamous Hill House Manor.

About Meditation: How To Guide Your life and Reach Your Goals

Have you reached the stage in life where you feel stuck? Perhaps you have a nice home. Perhaps you even have a job that you like, but life still seems to be letting you down. The problem is that you may have all of the material things, but unless you are happy in yourself, all of these things count for very little. That’s where meditation comes in. When you learn to step off the roundabout and take enough time daily to meditate, you change the course of your life.

Transformation may sound a little grand, but it’s actually easier to achieve than you may have imagined. When was the last time that you relaxed? How about the last time that you actually looked forward to doing something just for you? We go through our lives and often a lifestyle is a series of compromises. Along the way, we lose track of the goals that we once had, because life gets in the way. We stop seeing things clearly because there are too many responsibilities piled upon our shoulders.

Meditation is a way to get all of those goals back on track. It helps you to see life for what it is, to enjoy the moment that you are in and to work toward those things that matter to you. With clarity of mind and determination, you can get your life back on track and it’s really much easier than you may suppose. The only thing that it requires from you is the commitment to making this a part of your daily routine. After a while, you won’t even notice that you are putting aside 20 minutes of your time per day for meditation. It will just happen. That’s how habits are formed and among the potential habits that people can incorporate into their lives, this is one of the most productive.

In that moment when you are able to meditate, you allow your mind to reach to new heights. You may have experienced something like meditation and not been aware of the similarity although this book will explain that, so that you recognize when you are gaining from your practice, instead of feeling that you are not learning in the early stages of meditation. The trick is to accept your state, rather than try and change it. You will understand more about that as I walk you through the steps that take you into meditation and a better understanding of self.

The way that your mind works has relevance as well and I will use a quote in the early part of this book that may help you to see what mindfulness is all about and its relevance to meditation. Although many people practice mindfulness as a separate thing, it plays a part in meditation because being in the moment means that you are better able to discipline yourself and feel that you are progressing.

I have been studying meditation techniques now for the past 10 years and within my practice we incorporate easy meditation ways to learn to quiet your mind. These techniques truly helped me to tap into my sub conscious and find who I really was and helped to guide me through this maze full of distractions that we call life.

I am passionate about helping others and found that most people I spoke to were curious about meditation and self-help. With all the distractions that we have today I decided to write a book to see if I could reach more people and in turn help them to see the way through simple meditation techniques.

I am a mother, wife, avid yogi and now published writer. I am truly grateful for all I have.

There’s a lot of propaganda out there based on lousy research paid by financial interests. Like you, I believed some of the nonsense being sold. The more I researched to verify some of these claims, the more frustrated I became.

I had enough knowledge to stay fit and lean. Because of this, a work colleague asked for help in losing weight and I told him I’d sent him everything explained in an email. I thought writing a succinct, straight to the point, message would be easy. But because I wanted the science to be on my side this led me to find a bottomless pit of endless misinformation.

What if I told you nothing here is what it seems? What if I told that you don’t need to count calories? What if I told that if you’re eating the right foods you will feel full and not overeat?

Now, do you want to take the blue pill… The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe, and just like everyone else you regain your weight.

Or, you take the red pill… You stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…

About RUTHLESS

Four years ago Rebel ruined Ginger by claiming her to keep them both alive, and then she disappeared. Bike Week at Daytona Beach brings them back together. He’s a dangerous nomad. A ruthless killer. But he’s her addiction, and she’s his. Can they keep the past where it belongs and move forward, or is it too late?

Excerpt –
I grabbed Ginger by the hand and pulled her out of the room, down the hall and to the bathroom. Her resistance was futile, her fear unimportant. I knew what I had to do, and if she were smart, she’d realize it, too. If she wanted to live. I opened the bathroom door and yanked her inside, thanking fuck that I found it empty. It was filthy, but better than nothing, and it had a shower that everyone used when they felt the need to be clean, which wasn’t often.

Ginger spun around when I shut the door, the look of a trapped animal in her pretty blues. I ignored her growing terror, steeling myself for what I had to do. Even behind closed doors I had to make it real, had to be convincing that I was an unfeeling bastard. I saw her swallow, could see her tits rising and falling rapidly as the fear of the unknown overwhelmed her. She was expecting the worst, preparing herself to do whatever she had to do to survive.

“Take off your clothes.” I kept my tone harsh, indifferent to her growing panic.

She shook her head vigorously and stepped back, slamming hard against the cracked porcelain sink. A nervous cry escaped her, and her eyes were wild as she took in her surroundings and realized that there was no escape. Her gaze touched on the door behind me before meeting my eyes.

“Please‒”

“Take off your fucking clothes,” I said in an uncaring, demanding tone. “You’re filthy, and not in a way that gets my dick hard. Now undress.” I removed my cut and the t-shirt beneath it. “In fact, I think I’ll join you.” Her eyes nearly popped out of her head at that. “If you’re not undressed by the time I’m out of my clothes, you won’t like the consequences.” I kicked off my boots as my hands went to the front of my pants.

As I’d expected she would, Ginger’s small hands began to unbutton her blouse. Slowly she began to expose enticing, creamy skin to my wandering eyes. I undid my pants. She lowered her gaze to the floor and turned around before reluctantly removing the garment. I let her have her moment of modesty before I looked into the mirror in front of her. Fuck. My dick took notice of her perfect tits and rosy nipples. Hard nipples. Surprising.

About Them Rabbit Foot Blues

An ultra-unreliable narrator with a fetish for drugs must identify the killer, locate the girl, and identify himself, all while writing his first novel. The searches plunge this combat veteran into a netherworld of bizarre citizens, revolution, assassins, and superstitions.

A cleverly diverting narrative that remixes folklore, pop culture, multiculturalism, gender roles, history, sci-fi, noir aesthetics, and urban decay. This misadventure with literary ambitions challenges notions of society and self. At once a freshly voiced, compellingly enigmatic, utterly poignant, and darkly comic novel.

About Internal Damnation by David Rutter

Survival isn’t instinct…dying is.” – Alexander Marks

In this heart-wrenching tale of drugs, violence, and betrayal, Alexander Marks is a shattered man who desires nothing more than to be forgotten. His closet is painted with the blood of those he’s harmed (and protected).

Just released from federal prison after almost a decade, Alexander returns home to Ocean Park, Massachusetts, finding nothing of the vibrant city he once knew. Little does he know how significant his prior choices were, setting in motion a deadly series of events which forever changed his city, his friends, and (unbeknownst to Alex) himself.

As two vastly different victims of his past resurface upon hearing of his return, Alex’s true battle between sanity and lunacy commences as he must choose between what feels right…and what feels natural.
