1. Corvette Nightfire by Daniel Wetta

   About Corvette Nightfire by Daniel Wetta:

   Can just one dance change destiny? Only the Queen of hearts knows!
   As Corvette Nightfire approaches the casino in Las Vegas, the doors burst open to the sound of gunfire. A beautiful woman rushes to him and thrusts a heavy bag into his arms. Instructing him in Spanish, which he doesn’t understand, she runs past him to a waiting car. A professional poker player in town to play in the Final Nine in the World Series of Poker, Corvette soon discovers that he is inexorably connected to Valentina, this exotic woman who has just put his life into a tailspin. He disappears into an international vortex of intrigues, a complex world of ordinary heroes and heinous cartel thugs, in a desperate race to find and save her.
   They can’t speak each other’s languages, but on the romantic evening on which they meet, Valentina tells Corvette her story through dance images. She portrays an animal spirit, an amber-eyed black jaguar that Corvette must ride to find the woman he inexplicably loves. His heart reveals that the millions of dollars in prize money in the tournament mean nothing compared to Valentina’s life. Not understanding what is guiding him through the vortex, Corvette comes to an unexpected destiny, one of reconciliation to generations of family sins.
   A five-star crime thriller set in Las Vegas, Monterrey, Mexico, and Barbados, Corvette Nightfire straps the reader into a exhilarating ride!

   Author Bio:
   I lived in Mexico in 2009 and 2010 and suffered the murder of a young friend who was kidnapped, tortured, shot, and left in a vacant field in his home city of Monterrey. Israel was a bright and handsome college student. The mistake that cost him his life was to meet the wrong person at a party: She was the estranged wife of a drug cartel leader in Monterrey, but she didn’t tell Israel. Their flirtation put an end to his life and the dreams for him of all who loved him. I was aware of the violence in Mexico when I arrived and tried to stay alert. After I came to make friends and saw that they courageously lived their lives in a world abundant with daily horrors and impunity, I realized how safely we lead lives in the United States. I learned that we know so little about how we contribute to problems in the country to the south of us.

   Israel’s murder began to haunt me a little more each day. I couldn’t forget him. I spent two years researching and understanding the violence of organized crime, especially that of the drug cartels throughout Latin America and the United States. I found out that on the demand side, the people in the United States purchase the majority of drugs coming from the Mexican cartels. On the supply side, our country is the biggest supplier of illegal weapons used by these cartels. These weapons have been responsible for at least 100,000 deaths in Mexico in the past seven years. Even the casual marijuana enjoyed in social gatherings in our country arrives to us with a lot of blood on their leaves. We don’t think about that at all.

   The result of my time in Mexico is the publication of two novels that honor the ordinary heroes who fight crime: The Z Redemption and its sequel, Corvette Nightfire. Working with the editor and story contributor, Robert Selfe, I have tried to write novels that are hard to put down, that explore the psychology of the characters, and that are just plain fun to read. In other words, the kind of books that I enjoy reading.

   As for my bio, I am a retired Certified Public Accountant who spent most of my career in the health care field. For twenty years I was the CFO and then CEO of a Virginia hospital and nursing home in a large healthcare company. I wrote short stories as a young man, and at the College of William and Mary I really learned to write. I received my undergraduate degree in History there. Later I went to graduate school at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I got a post-baccalaureate certificate in accounting and then my Masters in Business Administration from the University of Dallas. I am a life-long lover of Corvettes, Las Vegas, and living on the edge. I am in love with my family, and I am passionate about United States and Mexican history, the Spanish language, and using social media.

4. Partners In Crime by Ian David Noakes

   About Partners In Crime by Ian David Noakes:

   MILLY CLOUD’S husband did the dirty on her, using her credit card for hotel rooms, restaurant bills and sharp suits; NOAH SMITH has tried to better himself and quit his job – but failed to tell his wife when he couldn’t get another and turned to a credit card to cover it up; HARRY HOLMES thought he had a formula for winning the national lottery – he may be smart when it comes to Affidavits and Cross Examinations at University, but borrowing from a loan shark to purchase 5,000 lottery tickets wasn’t his brightest moment.

   All three lives collide when Harry attempts (and fails) to take his own life in the park, but when a drug dealer pulls up selling drugs to kids they take it as a sign – rob the undeserving!

   Are Milly, Noah and Harry just as bad as the people they steal from, or can they justify it by balancing a life of crime with good deeds and worthy targets?

Detective Ray Stone, Sophia’s live-in boyfriend, is assigned the case and is more distressed than usual over the hideous crime, but he won’t say why.

   As a former cop, Sophia is suspicious by nature. She may have left the force after getting shot, but she kept her independent outlook, keen mind, and adventurous nature–and she kept her sassy attitude, too. At odds with Ray over the secrets he keeps, Sophia investigates and ends up face-to-face with a murderer.

Fifteen years into his career as a self made entrepreneur, he decided to go back to his first love, writing contemporary erotic romance. In 2012 he published his first novel, The End of Summer, hoping that it will be the beginning of a long and exciting literary adventure.
