About ACE

A road side bombing left Ace disfigured and dead inside. He faces the world with silent bitterness and a damaged ego. Then a quiet beauty comes into his life cracking the shell around his wounded heart and healing his soul.

Excerpt – I was coming out of the back stock room when I literally ran into Ace as he was heading toward the bathroom. His powerful hands grasped my upper arms to push me back, but not before we had a full frontal collision. The man was solid as a rock, everywhere. I gasped from the impact, and instant, hot awareness slammed through me. I gasped again upon looking up and seeing his condition. My eyes widened as they roamed over his bruised and bloodied face.

“What-What happened to you?” I asked with concern. I knew the Sentinels were tough, dangerous men and capable of taking care of themselves, but it looked as if Ace had taken a good beating.

He released me and held up a big hand, barely looking me in the eye. “I’m good.” He made a move to go around me.

“You’re not good.” I reached for his arm. “Ace, you’re hurt.”

“Don’t make it more than what it is, Emerson.” He pulled away and went into the men’s room.

I stared after him and the door that he’d closed in my face. Why was he so stubborn? He’d obviously been in a fight. And he obviously didn’t want my help. Well, that was just too damned bad. I dashed to where I knew we kept the first aid kit, grabbed it off the shelf, and went back to the restroom. I hesitated only briefly before pushing my way into the bathroom and finding him at the sink.

He was in the process of wiping his face with a paper towel. “Get out,” he grumbled.

“No.” I took a deep breath and stubbornly stepped closer. “Those cuts need more than water, they need to be cleaned.” I forced my way between his hard body and the hard counter. “Now let me see.” I brushed his hands away from his face.

“Emerson,” he growled in warning, glaring down at me with steel in his eyes, his jaw taut.

I met his eyes squarely, not the least bit intimidated. “Suck it up, biker man,” I ordered, not backing down. “I know you’re a big, old, hard-ass, Ace, but even big boys occasionally need a tender touch.” I opened up the first aid kit and pulled out the clean gauze and antiseptic. When I turned back to Ace I halted, suddenly realizing how close we were.

I hardened my reserve, which meant ignoring the unexpected tingling in my nipples, to do what I needed to do. Besides, I’d decided to move on, right? As far as I knew, the feelings that I experienced when I was around Ace were totally one-sided. I poured antiseptic onto the gauze and reached up to clean the particularly nasty-looking cut on his cheek.

“So, what happened?” I dabbed as gently as I could, wincing when I saw how deep the cut was. “You should probably get stitches.” He just growled in response, standing there like an obstinate five-year-old who was being subjected to a fate worse than death. I felt a smile spread across my lips. “Poor baby.”

He growled some more. Once I was satisfied that the cut was as clean as I could get it, I poured the antiseptic directly into the wound. He sucked in his breath. My eyes shot up to his. “Sorry,” I mumbled, reaching for the butterfly bandage, relieved that we had some. “If this doesn’t work–”

“I know, stitches.”

About A Time For Tears

Tears are a sign that something significant has happened. Tears are shed as a result of great joy or great sorrow, great pain and loss or great triumph. They come for more reasons than I have the ability to list but they never come for nothing. Tears remind me most of the universal human experience because if they’re there, it could mean almost anything, good or bad, but it always means that something significant has happened. A Time For Tears is my tale of something significant…

About Lost In Thought: Memories of an Abused Child by Karson Lee

What would you do if you knew a child who was being abused? If that child was a member of your family? Would you call the authorities and have the child taken away or would you turn a blind eye?

These are the kind of questions that Lost In Thought provokes. The author, who lived through the atrocities mentioned in this book, paints a vivid, if disturbing, image of child abuse and how it affects the psyche as one grows older. What begins as abuse leads quickly to suicidal thoughts and loss of control.

Lost In Thought is the unbelievable true story of a child who was in this predicament. His mother, who was hooked on prescription pills, sexually abused him for years and convinced him that nothing was out of the ordinary. Family members knew of the horrifying situation, yet did nothing to stop it. He distanced himself from his family as he grew older only to become more of an outcast.

This is the powerful true story of a man who was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome on the Autism Spectrum in his mid-twenties, overcame adversity, and took back control of his life before it was too late.

About Danny and the Invasion of the Dinosaurs

This is the 3rd book of The Adventures of Danny Hoopenbiller series. Published on November 2013, it was written and illustrated by David T. Lee at age 9.

Full color illustrations are available for view on his author blog as listed below. It is suitable for kids 7-12.

Summary of the story:

The impossible has happened. Dinosaurs, vanished 65 million years ago, have come back to life. Nations have to unite to stop the rampaging monsters from wiping out mankind. Humans are losing the fight – until Danny Hoopenbiller comes.

After dinosaurs destroyed his home, Danny is forced to protect his family and under desperate measures, leads the USA Army into what may be their most deadly mission. Danny is the balance that could either save or raze humankind. Will he survive?

Book review by April Jones Prince:
(Author of many award winning children’s books and a long time editor)

“David, you have always been a strong writer, but you are growing by leaps and bounds! It’s really fantastic to see. I think this was my favorite Danny story yet because the idea was so inventive (going back to the time of the meteor) and the dino villains are ones we are simultaneously fascinated with but also love to hate.

This is one action-packed adventure! And you are quite adept at imagining and writing it. I also love your stellar vocabulary and use of similes and metaphors, which make me feel like I am right there in your story.

That said, I am also a real fan of the plush and luxurious locations you invent. The Red Blossom Inn is awesome! I want to go there! I love your many details on pages 52 and 53. I also like that this scene lets us take a breather from all the high-speed action; it’s good for pacing. And it’s funny how we as readers let our guards down and take a deep breath, just like Danny and Johnny do.”

About Wine, Sex and Suicide – My Near Death Divorce

A heartbreakingly raw, day-to-day journal showing the depths of despair of an unwanted divorce. Patty Blue Hayes battles the conflicting desires to numb the pain while wanting to move on and live a peaceful life with meaning and purpose.

For seventeen years, Patty Blue Hayes saw her identity as her husband’s wife. When the marriage ended abruptly, she spiraled into an abysmal darkness. Splashed with her intimate thoughts, her day-to-day struggle paints a picture of a woman disconnected from her true self and illustrates the dangerous after shocks of being a dependent spouse.

Wine, Sex and Suicide – my near death divorce takes us on a colorful journey from a small village in Romania where Patty volunteered at an orphanage for her first Christmas alone, to dive bars and dance clubs in Hollywood where she went on the prowl seeking sexual validation from young men, to the stark clinical backdrop of the psychiatric hospital where she made a friend, and ultimately to her decision to leave the city she’d known for 20 years and move to a small town to start over.

Laced with humor, Patty’s story will speak to those who’ve ever felt broken and lost. Her determination to overcome the gripping addictions will give hope to others who may be going through the dark night of the soul that it is possible to transcend the pain and find purpose.
