1. God’s Memory

   About God’s Memory :

   President Charles Taylor enjoys a life of wealth and privilege after the unprecedented terrorist attack carried out by people in his own retinue.

   Aaron Rothfeld, the head of a mighty financial clan, uses the President as a pawn in a grandiose game for the ultimate power.

   Rich, talented Zoe Stafford is blinded by the desire to avenge her mother, who was killed in the attack.

   Zakhar, Zoe’s father and a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan war, is living out an empty, pointless life in which only hatred and violent reflexes remain.

   Four different lives. Four strong, unconventional people. Their paths are destined to cross, leading them into a bloody war whose outcome could change the world.

   Author Bio:
   I was born in Moscow in 1975. Although I speak English, Hebrew, German and a little Ukrainian, Russian is still my native language, so please cut this bio some slack. Unlike my book, it wasn’t proofread by a professional translator:).

   It took me about three years to write God’s Memory, because I actually have a full-time job, which is extremely time-consuming. I work as a creative/art director for one of the biggest game development companies in the world. I love my job, it has allowed me to travel the world, speak in front of thousands of people, and develop as a person. It has also taught me a lot about writing, as all games have to have plots, characters, and trailers. But there is one thing that I have always dreamed of doing in addition to that:

   Writing a real book.

   Personally, I am not a big fan of cliche, predictable plots, dragons, wizards, or superheroes who can survive a nuclear blast, or outsmart entire governments. I know it sells well, and that’s what people enjoy reading, but there are a lot of other people doing that, and doing it so well, that I don’t think there is any room left on that market for someone like me. And anyway, I am rather a fan of classical literature, of writers like Maupassant and Tolstoy.

   So I decided to leave my comfort zone, and write not about aliens, monsters, mutants and Special Forces, but about something more relevant to our everyday lives. About something that might actually make people think, not simply entertain them. Because I believe that literature is way too powerful to be used for… well, for whatever it is used for these days.

   And since I have always been very interested in conspiracies, mass manipulation, and economy, I decided to base the plot of God’s Memory on the events of 9/11. I always wanted to know WHY. Why would the world’s leaders commit sucha terrible crime? There is no way that they are simply evil, bloodthirsty people. The world is not black and white. I wanted to imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes. How do they perceive us regular folks? What would they tell us if they had no choice but to answer our question? How would they justify their actions?

   The answers, or at least my heroes’ version of them, are in the book. Please read it, and leave comments and feedback. If you wish to contact me, please go to my facebook page:

   In this breakthrough new book, The 12 Laws Of Success They Don’t Teach At School…

   Personal development expert Dr. Asoka Selvarajah finally shatters the web of secrecy concealing what it takes to achieve super-success in any field. He reveals, in clear, simple and actionable language, exactly how to achieve the super-success you long for, but which has eluded you for years.

   Through the use of illuminating stories, analogies, examples and quotes, this dynamic self-help book reveals critical success concepts you must know and practice to create immediate and enormous advances in your life, business and relationships.

   Achievement and success in life are never taught at school. In fact, the successful in all fields of endeavor achieve their extraordinary triumphs through the use of jealously guarded secret laws, known only to the elite. These laws are either discovered anew in every generation, by individuals struggling to succeed, or are handed down from master to student.

   The good news is…

   You can shortcut this entire process and jump to the front of the queue. You can get this essential success information working for you, in your life, starting now.

   Dr. Selvarajah is a Ph.D in Nuclear Physics and former Investment Banker. He distils more than fifteen years of painstaking research and work within the personal growth arena, and presents you with the essential concepts needed to achieve your dreams.

   Unlike with other self help books…

   Dr. Selvarajah gives you thorough details on how to actually integrate these powerful personal development principles into your daily life so that they actually work. This is not theory. You are shown precisely what to do.

   You need all twelve laws in action to achieve super-success and make your dreams come true. But thanks to this landmark book, all the self help principles revealed are easy to understand and use.

   And when you apply The 12 Laws Of Success They Don’t Teach At School, outrageous success must surely follow, as night follows day.

   After all, it’s the Law!

   Author Bio:
   Curiosity may have killed that feline fur ball, but she or him learned a lot before exiting number nine. I too have been curious, wondering why we, I or they acted this way, looked or did it that way or were otherwise human.

   But curiosity is such a casual word, and the truth is my desire to know was almost desperate. There were times in life that I felt angry when there was no one around, unhappy when life was just fine, times I had trouble with relationships for seemingly no reason, times I felt sad when…well, you get the idea.

   That desperate curiosity, along with forty years of inner work, has lead to some interesting answers and some surprising books.

   Also, I love talking with those courageous people who are going for a positive change, and I live to see that eye-widening moment of understanding.

   Besides curious, I am also a writer who began with a column in the San Jose Mercury News, nationally syndicated. My current project is this book series, “Things That Make Life Better.”

   So from the central coast of the North American west, I submit these curious jottings of curiosity to be browsed by those who will hopefully find them just as helpful as they might have hoped.

7. The Quarterback

   About The Quarterback:

   On the night of the league championship game, after NFL quarterback Sonny Wade leads his team to a berth in the Super Bowl, he and his fiancée vanish into the night and no one has seen them since.

   Homicide detective Mike Gallagher, the last person who saw Sonny Wade teams up with colorful Detective Leo Cannoli of the Los Angeles Police Department to find out if the league’s MVP is alive or dead. As Gallagher and his partner investigate, they soon realize there are several individuals who have a reason to kidnap or kill the popular athlete.

   These people include, a mafia crime boss who has placed millions of dollars in wagers against Sonny’s team, Wade’s ruthless agent, the ex-girlfriend who wants to stop Sonny’s upcoming marriage, the backup quarterback who has no hope of playing as long as the superstar is on the team, the team owner who wants revenge for his violated daughter, his future father-in law who does not want Sonny in his family and Wade’s jealous older brother who is resentful of all the attention Sonny receives from his adoring parents.

   In addition, Gallagher must consider the possibilities that Wade voluntarily disappeared or that he took his own life. There is no easy solution here.

   “The Quarterback” is not a football story but a tale of power, jealousy, greed, revenge and evil. As a read, it is a page-turning and a plot twisting mystery with unpredictable characters for readers who love clever endings.

   Author Bio:
   Tori Minard wrote her first story in pencil, sans paragraph breaks and quotation marks, for a third-grade class assignment. It was the dark and moving tale of a Halloween pumpkin. Unfortunately, the details of this gem have been lost to time. Her next story featured a large black dog who was really a demon in disguise. Apparently, Tori was born in paranormal mode.

   Three years later, it dawned on her that she didn’t have to wait for the teacher’s permission to write fiction. She spent the entirety of her peculiar adolescence writing weird and romantic stories which embarrassed her parents and got her in trouble at school. Unfortunately for her ego, the teachers merely thought she was writing letters to friends.

   Letters to friends! C’mon, this is dark, creative proto-Goth girl. Why would she write letters to friends when she could bring forth post-apocalyptic romances instead?

   After a long detour for such grown-up pursuits as working boring full-time jobs (State of Alaska, U.S. Postal Service), getting married and having a child, she returned to her first love—storytelling. She was born and raised in Alaska, and now lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, son, and micro-dog. Her novels include The Amaki series, about sexy fae, and a vampire romance series, Legends Of A Dark Empire.
