About Hard Place

When your day starts with a close friend stopping by and trying to kill you, you know the rest of your week could only get better. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Jacob’s hatred had turned into a hard thing, a rock in his heart he couldn’t put down. It weighed on him, every minute of every day, and Clyde was there to remind him of the mistake he made, his deal. But what if the deal he made wasn’t what he thought it was? What if everything he knew to be true was all a lie? Around him, death stalks and friends will die. His world soon would be coming apart, unravelling.

Matt had only just begun his career as a detective, but already he had a trench coat and an impossible case. Along the path, he would fall in love and realize that the world was far different than he knew.

When Mr. White and The Judge meet at the crossroads, Jacob and Matt could lose everything.

If you liked American Gods, Constantine, or Steven King’s Needful things, you will enjoy HARD PLACE.

Merit: Vayden’s Valor 

About Merit: Vayden’s Valor

I tucked jealousy in my pocket for far too long.

Telling myself, it was easier to bite my tongue and get over it instead of the busted knuckles’ worth of backlash.

Olallie deserved better than a best friend.
And I deserve better than playing second best.
She was once my angel with blue eyes, but she stands by the devil’s side. Lawson may have been Olallie’s warped savior. But he was still my enemy.

I am angry from feeling underestimated. Too late to back down now, I wasn’t born a bad boy, but it doesn’t mean I haven’t been observing the cruelty. They wanted me to obey, but I’m ready to rebel. They called me baby brother, but I wonder what they’ll think when I lift my head to fight back this time.

If I am going to burn, I might as well laugh along the way. My new flame mocks the patriarchy, and I can’t be caught quiet.

It’s hard falling out of love with your best friend, but I only hope the wild girl can make me forget the tamed lamb.

I’ve courted a new bride, and this time, the spitfire is all mine.

MERIT: Vayden’s Valor is a Multicultural New Adult Romance Book, the 10th in the Mum’s the Word Series

Killing Time in the Catskills by Kevin Owen 

About Killing Time in the Catskills by Kevin Owen

“Killing Time in the Catskills” is a true account of one of America’s most dangerous women, Lizzie Halliday. Within this compelling narrative Kevin Owen provides a complete biographical timeline of her life, outlining the most accurate account of Lizzie Halliday’s disturbing criminal career available to date, while correcting misinformation of the past. The author provides the reader with not only a detailed expose on Lizzie’s crimes but also provides a comprehensive biography, the result of years of investigative research which revealed that Lizzie, in her late twenties, left behind a trail of failed marriages, bigamy, horse theft, arson, insurance fraud and multiple murders, many having been committed in Sullivan County. After her sensational trial in Monticello, NY, Lizzie became the first woman in the world sentenced to die in the electric chair, and although locked behind bars, she managed to continue her reign of terror.

Author Bio:
Kevin Owen is an aficionado of anything true crime related in print, podcast and the current news. Living in a deeply wooded area of the Catskills close to Burlingham, NY, the location of Lizzie Halliday’s crimes, resulted in a long period of intense research into her misdeeds and life history. Having found various inconsistencies and missing information led the author further down a rabbit hole of exploration and forensic research into this crazed killer. What was amassed from this research was compiled and led to the book, “Killing Time in the Catskills”, not only a detailed expose on Lizzie’s crimes but also providing a biography of Lizzie Halliday, her victims, acquaintances and her sordid life.

About Eastside Hedge Witch By T.J. Deschamps

Release Day – October 31st!!

Twenty years ago, I stole something that could win the war between Heaven and Hell. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no do-gooder. I wanted to rule everything with the King of Hell. However, I have serious qualms with killing 8 billion people in order to get what I want. He didn’t. Irreconcilable differences, right?

So, I did what any witch would do. I faked my death and hid out in the Seattle suburbs, living as a mundane. Stay at home moms are practically invisible here!

I had a good thing going until a hellhound showed up on my morning run. Guess you can’t thwart the devil’s machinations and get away with it forever. Time to come out of the supernatural closet and save the world. Again.

Overcome the Fleshly Nature 

About Overcome the Fleshly Nature

The human flesh is perhaps the most subtle enemy of humanity.
In all ages, many are those who have fallen victims to their flesh than those by the devil.
Even, many things, for which the devil has been accused, are nothing other than the works of the flesh.
Stop pointing the accusing fingers at the devil; rather learn to master your fleshly nature.
Until you do this, you will remain an irresponsible Christian.
Overcoming the fleshly nature will empower you to master your flesh and be free from the works of the flesh.

Gunny Mac Private Detective Trouble in Chinatown by Steven Walker 

Gunny Mac Private Detective Trouble in Chinatown by Steven Walker

No one writes like this anymore, but Walker does… As Raymond Chandler would say, “He talks like a man of his age talks – that is, with a crude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for a sham and a contempt for pettiness!”.

Walker’s story is based on true historical fact. In 1942 Roosevelt felt certain that Guadalcanal would fall to the Japanese. He instructed an Army general to collect and burn all the money in Hawaii and replace it with bills with Hawaii written across the back of each bill so the money would be useless to the Japanese.

Walker masterfully weaves a thrilling story about four wounded veterans, discharged because of their wounds suffered on Guadalcanal, become private detectives in Chinatown and get involved in thwarting anyone who is someone from stealing the money.

Gunny Mac, Navy Cross winner eighteen years a Marine and forced to become the one thing he hated, becoming a civilian.

Gunny Wojohowitz a Marine who came from the coal fields in Clymer, Pennsylvania and harder than woodpecker lips… Mac’s best friend.

Lt. Alan Burke, spoiled Harvard graduate and Naval officer sent to the Marine Corp for punishment as a naval gunfire forward observer seeks the one thing we all need…redemption!

Padre McCaffery the Jesuit priest assigned to the Marine Corps First Division, wins the Navy Cross and suffers a head wound…now he is different, but he shows the world how much he loves his God, his Marines, his bourbon and cigars.

Together they form a bond no one can never break… to fight one last battle for their friends, their country and their Corps.

The Story Seer by Amanda Dew 

About The Story Seer by Amanda Dew

They tell me he’s dangerous. His memories tell me he’s not.
Someone is lying, and it’s my job to figure out who.

21-year-old Aurora Reynolds is an artist in the canvas of the mind. Rory is a lobe-tech, one of the chosen few who can navigate another’s memories to find their most guarded secrets and exploit the intel they’re hiding. She’s the best chance the country has at stopping the Seers—the terrorist organization using the weather as a weapon.

January 13, 2042 should be just another day of pillaging minds and gathering secrets for Rory. But when she turns down the normally sterile hallways to her office, she finds them covered in blood.

What she finds inside her new subject’s mind is even more startling.

Not everything is as it seems in this fast-paced, can’t-put-down dystopian romance. For readers of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and the Selection.

Your Healthcare Fix: How to create your very own personal healthcare system and save thousands of dollars in healthcare cost! 

About Your Healthcare Fix: How to create your very own personal healthcare system and save thousands of dollars in healthcare cost!

Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Home Healthcare System

We have created a do-it-yourself (DIY) home healthcare system. This is a personalized healthcare system you can implement yourself, right from the comfort of your own home.

This is a self-learning, self-taught training course, so you can learn at your own pace.

Why I Created the Training Course

There are many reasons why I created the training course, but the primary reason is to provide a “fix” to the current healthcare crisis now taking place in the United States… hence the name of the course ““Your Healthcare Fix””.

Problem

The healthcare system in the United States is dysfunctional, expensive, and obsolete.

Our current outdated healthcare system only suppresses and manages the illness and/or affliction. But it does not prevent the illness from occurring in the first place. In-other-words it is a “reactive” system.

The current healthcare system here in the U.S. is an outmoded system which does nothing more than suppress the illness with medication.

Drugs only provide a short-term remedy, but are not meant to be a long-term fix to the ailment.

Pharmaceutical drugs are expensive and risky, and their adverse side effects kill more than a hundred thousand Americans every year.

Alternatively, a nutrition based diet has no downsides—only good side-effects.

So what’s the solution?

Solution

We created a “proactive” system based on illness prevention. In-other-words the system prevents the illness from occurring in the first place.

It is a healthcare system which utilizes “natural remedies”, and a “root cause” based approach.

The healthcare system I created is backed by science and clinical research.

We utilize a patented nutrient delivery technology that is unmatched in the industry… it is truly a “game changer”.

Save Thousands of Dollars in Healthcare Cost

Because this system I created is so effective, it has saved me thousands of dollars in healthcare cost over the years. And it will do the same for you.

Locomotive Worm 

About Locomotive Worm

Poetry for the esthetics of absurdity, for the sardonic and the ribald, and for love lost. and then lust.

A WORD OF CAUTION:

This book possesses instances of unrestrained sensuality, farcical violence, philosophical misunderstandings, and fairy tales so textured with twisted morality, they breed odd questions, puerile illusions, no easy solutions. This is a catalogue — a poetic sampler. And yet, if the diverging pieces of Locomotive Worm originate from a single source, it stems from the melancholic dissolution of romantic love and the subsequent drive to a perverse vindication. In the real world, we don’t always heal the way we wish, and this book is a reflection on the unexpected flashes of such recuperative incite.

Locomotive Worm offers a different reading experience. First of all, it is prose poetry. But it is also a guidebook on how to approach the collection itself. Certain poems offer directions on how to read them. Events that happen in some pieces show up again in others, from different angles, relinquishing contradictory results. Ultimately, the pages brandish a unique pagination that insinuates multiple reading chronologies. This book is a circuit of stations that fix each piece to the whole network in varied ways, making new connections with each reading.

Beyond these formal permutations, this collection of poetry is a sincere exploration of poetic themes neglected for far too long. Forget about love and beauty! The ludicrous and sardonic can be as compelling, often funnier, and far more exciting. Locomotive Worm demands for the reader to drop the vase of esthetics into the black and white gutter of its text and let the pieces spill out into your opening perception.

Facing the Storm by David DeLee 

About Facing the Storm by David DeLee

Book 1 in the pulse-pounding Brice Bannon Seacoast Adventure series.

Brice Bannon served fifteen years in the Coast Guard, most recently as captain of the Deployable Operations Group, (DOG), the Coast Guard’s version of the Army’s Special Forces and Navy’s Seals operations. When the command was decommissioned, rather than accept re-assignment, Bannon retired from the full-time Coast Guard. But Bannon didn’t leave the Coast Guard behind completely. He remains in the Reserves.

Recruited by the Secretary of Homeland Security, he leads a small, secretive team of specially-trained, highly-skilled operatives capable of responding to and investigating specific, targeted threats against the homeland. Threats that cannot be effectively handled by standard operating means. Threats that call for a unique and often secret approach outside the normal channels of either Homeland Security or the Department of Defense.

I was born and raised in Johnson City, Tennessee, and went to college at East Tennessee State University before marrying my high school sweetheart and moving to Virginia Beach, Virginia. I started writing as a hobby when I was in college after purchasing a couple of Southern Heritage cookbooks, which were filled with pages of beautiful old plantation homes. I used to sit outside in my backyard and type on a manual typewriter at a picnic table under tall maple trees. I continued writing after moving to Virginia Beach and visiting beautifully restored homes in Williamsburg as well as plantations on the James River. My day job has been medical and legal transcription while writing on the side, and I self-published my first book in December 2012. I enjoy the freedom and creativity of self-publishing. My book, Sunrise Kisses, was a finalist in the 2018 Golden Quill Award Contest sponsored by Golden Box Books Publishing. I love being outside in nature and enjoy visiting historical homes and gardens, reading, traveling, gardening, taking walks, doing yoga, and spending time with family and friends. I am still married to my sweetheart after 31 years, and we have one son.

 



Unique as a Snowflake by Julie Layton 

About Unique as a Snowflake by Julie Layton

Josie was feeling discouraged and sad as she glanced at the image of herself in the mirror. She didn’t like anything about herself. She didn’t like her blonde hair and thought it looked like yellow straw. She hated her long skinny legs because they made her too tall; she was the tallest girl in her class.
Unique as a Snowflake was written because children in this world don’t know how valuable they are. This is a mother’s story about recognizing and comparing her daughter’s individualism to the undeniable and beautiful things in nature. Her mother tells Josie how God loves her and made her special because of her uniqueness.

The Revelation of Katsushika Hokusai, The Artist 

About The Revelation of Katsushika Hokusai, The Artist

It seems as if everything is over, and the treacherous gods have won.

The world, once so lively, noisy, and melodious, is now gone, and dead silence reigns. However, the mother of the Universe, chained within the depths of Mount Fuji by the immortals-her husband and their monstrous children-still sings the eternal song of Woman, which lies at the core of everything and whose truth still echoes, despite everything the gods have done to silence it. No mortal can hear it except for the extraordinary child on whom the fate of the world now depends.

The child was born deaf, and his parents left him in the wild to die since, according to the repugnant laws of the gods, his very existence is blasphemous and cursed: the Law demands that people hear and obey. He survives-not by luck, but by the will of a mysterious legendary figure; a believer in the feminine principle who sets in motion a series of events that saves him from death and sends him into life with a purpose and the ability to achieve it. Without knowing how or why and guided by his instinct and the spirit of the mother goddess alive within him, the time comes when he must face the immortals.

The literary fantasy The Revelation of Katsushika Hokusai the Artist is set in a mostly mythical Japan and plays (as all myths do) with the archetypal forces that shape the path from darkness to light via dramatic conflict, imaginative fight scenes, and a story of love that reaches its purest expression in the form of the Goddess Izanami.

Besides narrating the story, a basic intention of the book is that its narrative ‘voice’ should energise the language, as Japanese lacquer does to objects, deepening it and giving it ‘skin, flesh, and bones’. The book’s illustrations by the award-winning artistic duo Kalos&Klio amalgamate this ‘voice’, beautifully translated to English from the original Greek by Steve Lever, with the manifestations of a visible soul.

Author Bio:
Millie Copper, writer of Cozy Apocalyptic Fiction, was born in Nebraska but never lived there. Her parents fully embraced wanderlust and moved regularly, giving her an advantage of being from nowhere and everywhere.

As an adult, Millie is fully rooted in a solar-powered home in the wilds of Wyoming with her husband and young son, milking ornery goats and tending chickens on their small homestead. In their free time, they escape to the mountains for a hike or laze along the bank of the river to catch their dinner. Four adult daughters, three sons-in-law, and three grandchildren round out the family.

Since 2009, Millie has authored articles on traditional foods, alternative health, homesteading, and preparedness-many times all within the same piece. Millie has penned five nonfiction, traditional food focused books, sharing how, with a little creativity, anyone can transition to a real foods diet without overwhelming their food budget.

The twelve-installment Havoc in Wyoming Christian Post-Apocalyptic fiction series uses her homesteading, off-the-grid, and preparedness lifestyle as a guide. The adventure continues with the Montana Mayhem series, scheduled for release in the summer of 2021.
