Drained by Monique Singleton
Detective Liam Grady was stumped.
Never in his long years as a New Orleans Homicide Detective had he encountered a serial killer who literally drained his victims.
The mummified shell of a once beautiful student was the first sign this case was extraordinary. Within days she was joined by a high-class call-girl and a frumpy housewife. All died in the same sadistic manner.
What did they have in common, besides their strange demise?
Things are not as they seem. The victims have dark secrets, and tales of Haitian malignant spirits offer a slim lead. But it mean Liam has to ditch everything he believes in and open his mind to a conjecture that defied logic.
As he struggles with his own demons, Liam joins forces with a pretty student and a Mysterious Vodou witch doctor to stop whatever it is that holds New Orleans in its bloody grasp.
Time is of the essence.
The bodies are piling up.
And now the monster has Liam in its sights.

The Fallen Guardian by Anthony Chaveleh
The Fallen Guardian by Anthony Chaveleh
The most powerful and ancient evil resurfaces. The only way to stop it from destroying civilization is by freeing the five original, immortal dragons. Reth and Calig may be the key to their freedom, but letting the dragons loose may have consequences. Is there another way?
Reth and Calig don’t know of each other, and they have vastly different backgrounds and skillsets. In fact, Reth doesn’t even know his skills. He has no memories. All he knows is he needs to find an amulet, and he needs to find it soon. Each person Reth meets on his journey reveals more of his past and his destiny, but not everyone can be trusted.
Calig, on the other hand, holds one of the most powerful and prestigious roles: protecting the realm from dragons. So when a dragon escapes a presumably inescapable barrier for the first time in a thousand years, Calig must chase it down and discover the cause. On the way, though, he realizes the dragon’s escape may herald something much worse. A stray dragon is the least of his concerns.
Somehow, Reth and Calig’s fates have been intertwined. Something pulls them to the same place. To the same goal. As they make their separate journeys, the people they meet reveal more of the bigger picture. Of course, not everyone is who they say they are…

MANUS DEI: Harbinger: Book One of the Khamsa Chronicles by Edmund A.M. Batara
About MANUS DEI: Harbinger: Book One of the Khamsa Chronicles by Edmund A.M. Batara
Updated 2021 Edition.
The former Light-Bringer’s time to rule is coming. And there’s nothing humanity can do about it. Yet the Devil is prophesied to lose everything in the end. Destiny or not, the fallen Archangel has other plans.
Thus the tumultuous last stages of a conflict as old as time. Fought in this world. With the weapons and science of humanity.
But though the time of the Apocalypse is nearing, Heaven waits. In preparation for the final conflict, the minions of Hell have started infesting the world. Corrupting humanity and stealing the heavenly spark that connects mortals to God. Unless stopped, when the end comes, most of the divine power that exists in every person will belong to the Adversary. The Serpent has no plans of losing again. With enough heavenly power, he believes that even a divine prophecy can be broken.
Against the forces of Hell, it falls to the shoulders of a few good men and women at the side of diminished angels to delay Armageddon. A retrograde action against the forces of darkness.
One of them is Keith A. North, SEAL E-6, left for dead in the sandbox. Recruited by the secretive Khamsa, an organization almost as old as recorded history, he learns how to fight against nightmares made real. Limited by rules as ancient as the struggle against Hell.

Fantasy and science fiction have always been my favorites. Especially those from the era of dime novels and genre magazines, the time when both were still deemed fringe. Those stories spark the imagination and bring a reader to worlds and concepts beyond his reality. Though I have to admit, reality is fast catching up with science fiction.
Mary Magdalene – Beloved of the Bridegroom
About Mary Magdalene – Beloved of the Bridegroom
You think you know me. You may think you know my story.
But you don’t.
There have been many things said about me, about my life–things that have been taught and touted as truth, lies that have been received and then retaught as fact. It is a human weakness to accept writings of antiquity with assured certainty, never questioning the validity of said writings. As a result, the tangled web that is woven ensnares the mind and heart, leaving no room for question. Nor room for God’s answers.
To the world, my life is a mystery–a fabricated one, but a mystery, nonetheless. Only a precious enlightened few know my heart. And only they possess the gift of discernment to know what is real.
As for the rest, allow me to humbly set the record straight. Some hearts may not be open to my words. But no matter. Hidden truths will always be brought to light.
And my story has been suppressed long enough.

Raven’s Lore
About Raven’s Lore
Most girls curl up with a pint of ice cream and a good movie after a crushing heartbreak. Anaïs ends up wishing on an ancient relic and summoning a man of forgotten lore.
Being a New Orleans native, Anaïs is no stranger to superstition and myth, but she’s never taken it seriously—until one day she notices a peculiar raven outside her window, watching her with intelligent eyes. Then, as she walks her university campus, she’s stalked by a flock of black birds. Surely an ominous sign. Or, is it?
The mysterious, handsome, dark-haired Rovidious steps into her life, bringing with him a newfound passion that Anaïs had only dreamed of. But with her new relationship comes new challenges, and even danger.
Rovidious knows summoning him should have been impossible. He had fulfilled his debt to the human race, but now after centuries of isolation the raven was called. Mankind is unruly and fickle, their hearts impenetrable—yet when he’s with Anaïs, he is in paradise, moved by a desire that will either prove to be his salvation or damnation.
However, his dark past taunts him, and the truth may send Anaïs running in the opposite direction. She must decide if their relationship will stand the test: against her family’s disapproval, her former crush, and even darker forces on the horizon.

About The Mass of Men
WINNER OF THE FLORIDA AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION SILVER MEDAL PRESIDENT’S AWARD IN GENRE FICTION.
An IndieReader Approved Book.
How are firefighters made? What does it take to enter a burning building and risk your life to save another? The cadets of Class #64 are about to find out.
Under the stern supervision of their instructors, the students struggle against the relentless pace of their training. As each makes the transition from novice to professional, the relationships they develop take on dimensions of their own.
Sam is headstrong and driven, but as the only female in the group, she has the added burden of fitting in. Her situation is further complicated by the deep platonic bond she shares with a fellow cadet and an evolving connection with their commanding officer.
Ty grew up under the heavy hand of an abusive father. But he comes into his own at the academy, in large part because of the friendship he shares with Sam and the mentoring he receives from a most unlikely source.
And Matt Daniels serves as a rigid disciplinarian over the cadets and staff, yet everything changes when he allows himself the emotional freedom to bond with his students.
Sam, Ty, and Daniels must now navigate an emotional triangle, all the while being bound by the rank structure that defines them.
The Mass of Men takes the reader inside the grueling training of firefighters, revealing the drama, humor, and intensity of an academy. The punishing physical demands are only part of the challenge as the cadets overcome fears and wrestle with conflict, knowing they will one day be responsible for the lives of others.

The White Field
About The White Field
The White Field is a fast-paced journey of a man, Tom, fresh out of prison and trying desperately to rebuild his life. But he is caught by mysterious, unseen forces beyond his knowledge or control. After his release from prison, he is dropped back into the world in the wastelands of the city. In the menial work afforded the underclass, he begins his new life among characters at the edges of society, dwellers of the netherworld such as Raphael, a former cop from Mexicali singing Spanish arias in the mists of the industrial night among drug addicts and crooked cops; Tony, a stoner scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of history based solely on the intricate study of rock and roll; and Larry, the bloated, abusive manager trapped as much as his workers in a world of tedium and repetition and machines. Think, The Three Stooges on acid. Unable to reconnect with what’s left of his family, Tom embarks on a criminal path more harrowing than the one that led him to prison in the first place. Lured in by the nefarious, Thane, he slips into a plan that will leave him with no way back. And with no place left in this world to go but prison, he makes one last run for freedom. Will he escape?

About Beckoned: Hearing God’s Call to Deeper Faith by Stephanie Lape
In Beckoned, Lutheran pastor and comparative religions teacher Stephanie Lape documents her lifelong spiritual journey. Beginning with a heritage of shame-based religion, she winds her way into, and often out of, five Christian denominations with ever increasing knowledge, trust, peace, and joy.

Beckoned is a travelogue of one who hears God’s voice, and follows it, into the realm of spiritual community as well as deep into the inner world of the soul. It inspires the reader to ask: “How am I beckoned? What do I understand about God, myself, and the church? Am I willing to grow even deeper?”
