Behold the Child by Harry Shannon
Genre(s): Mystery & Thrillers
T his short novel first appeared in the Cemetery Dance anthology “Brimstone Turnpike.” Each character was to be given a brief encounter with a wise old man named Johnny Divine, and one object that would affect the outcome of the story. In award-winning author Harry Shannon’s entry, Sam Kenzie is an LAPD cop who can’t escape his obsession with a serial killer due to demons of his own.
“Behold the Child”, by Harry Shannon, is the perfect mix of classic Noir and the supernatural. A maverick, burned-out cop haunted by his last city case ignores advice and a “wrong” turn en route to his retirement gig in the isolated desert town of his youth. It’s dark, brooding, and reminds us that unfortunately, not everyone takes advantage of divine second chances.”
-Shroud Magazine
“This eerie collection includes five chilling tales with a common motif—a deserted highway with a ruined gas station where an old black man gives a traveler a special gift that could change his or her destiny. From Thomas F. Monteleone’s story of a reporter’s collision with the truth (“The Prime Time of Spenser Golding”) to Harry Shannon’s depiction of a detective’s journey into darkness (“Behold the Child”), these tales delve into the realm of nightmare and wish fulfillment.”
-Library Journal
“Master craftsmanship.”
-Cemetery Dance
“Shannon is a writer who is never afraid to walk into the shadows and drag the things living there kicking and screaming into the light.”
-Brian Keene
“Harry Shannon takes age-old themes and gives them a new and fearsome bite. Vividly realized, his writing is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights.”

Meets Girl: A Novel by Will Entrekin
Genre(s): Literary Fiction, Fantasy
“ It’s romance and fairy tales. But it’s magic and whimsy too. It’s a writer’s lament and a coming-of-age tale (for lack of a better cliché.) It’s experimentation and taking chances. It’s poetry and music. It’s love and art.” -LL Book Review
“Silly and poignant and real . . . This isn’t a love letter to Veronica as much as a love letter to the process of falling in love, and to that of writing a novel. . . delightfully hyper-aware of its own storytelling.” -Books I Done Read
“A great read indeed . . . Entrekin has really shown himself to be a first rate novelist with Meets Girl. The story crackles with energy as it progresses toward a satisfying conclusion.” -The Outer View
—

But the story doesn’t end there.
Angus Silver won’t let it.
Angus Silver knows what people love and whom, and he offers that young writer who fell in love with that girl who didn’t love him in return a simple choice.

Killing the scum of society, Mike becomes one of them and draws the attention of a group who require people with his skills. Unwillingly enlisted into the notorious ‘Blacklisted Brotherhood’, Mike must first survive horrendous training in order to hunt down a madman whose deeds will see the world plunged into anarchy if he succeeds.

T his wasn’t the adventure she’d signed up for…
A sexy boss, a rough crossing, and pirates—all Brylie Winston wanted was a job to help her earn money to buy her own restaurant. She hopes to earn it by working as a chef on a cruise to Antarctica.

Margaret’s Ark by Daniel G. Keohane
Genre(s): Mystery & Thrillers, Suspense
O n April ninth, thousands of people wake from the same dream, angels instructing them to build a biblical ark in their front yard, or the town square or little league field. Anywhere, to prepare for the worst natural disaster to strike the world since the days of Noah. A widowed California high school teacher risks everything to build a boat in the sixty days she is given. A homeless and self-proclaimed prophet of God preaches across Boston’s waterfront, unaware that he is not alone in his visions. A young priest is torn between the signs around him and the skepticism of his Church. A physician’s plans for advancement are threatened by her husband’s dreams of a coming flood.
In the end, only thirty people may board each boat. As the world slowly comes to grips with events unfolding around them, they must weigh their own faith in the exceptional and identical visions of so many people. The skies are clear, without a hint of rain. But if the dreams are true, something terrible is looming on the horizon.
“…a quality work of fiction, written by a professional who knows his stuff. A gripping story about the power of faith. Though it moves slowly and takes time building its tension – and build tension it does – this novel is the mark of an experienced craftsmen. The characters are varied and engaging, prompting genuine sympathy in the reader. His success is that he does what spiritual fiction often fails at: he focuses on the human element, how humans deal and grapple with the difficulty – and demands – of faith.” – Kevin Lucia, Shroud Magazine Reviews
“I couldn’t put this book down. Margaret’s Ark is a scary look at what might end the world someday. Dan Keohane, a finalist for the 2009 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel, has taken a different approach to the usual religious apocalypse stories. This is not the Rapture — this is a natural disaster that will change the world forever. ” – Sheri White, Terrorflicks.com

T he Geronimo Breach is a breakneck-paced thrill ride that pits the world’s most unlikely protagonist against the deadliest adversaries on the planet. From the corridors of Langley to the sweltering jungles of Panama, from the hills of Pakistan to the cocaine trails of Colombia, a clandestine scheme to preserve a terrible secret goes horribly awry, plunging a reluctant hero down a deadly rabbit hole of deceit and betrayal, while raising disturbing questions about the media, the war on terror & its linkage with the war on drugs, & the nature of reality in an age of sound-bites and photo ops.
Albert Ross is a malingering misanthrope – a boozing, chain smoking philanderer; shifty, lazy, cowardly, going to fat, & more prone to doing the wrong thing than any man alive. His purgatorial existence working for the State Department in Panama gets shattered when a routine errand becomes a race against the clock, battling adversaries for whom no price is too high to protect a secret that could topple the world order. As the body count climbs in a struggle without rules, Al must face his own demons, as well as the myriad very real ones intent upon destroying him. The unexpectedly shattering conclusion of this richly drawn thriller is both topical & chillingly plausible, making for a roller-coaster action/adventure without parallel.

Meet Vicky: Single mother, aspiring novelist, undertaker….and glamorous, seductive private investigator. She and trainee plumber Flic, forge the perfect partnership. They trap cheaters, report back to the wives and girlfriends, rake in the cash and then Vicky blogs about it all. The best thing about their job is it’s all done online, so it won’t interfere with their real lives and relationships.
Well, that was the plan.
What they didn’t count on was their first investigation being turned around on them so that they were the ones being investigated and written about – in a national newspaper. Soon, their loved ones want a piece of their secret lives and they discover that Vicky’s family are less than helpful as sidekicks. Her goofy brother Adam discovers the real reason why Flic wants justice for women virtually scorned and invites the woman who destroyed Flic’s happiness five years ago to become a client, with catastrophic consequences for all involved in the business, while Vicky’s gobby sister Pamela is given a fake assignment to trap Christos, Vicky’s confidante, to keep her out of the way and makes an unsavoury discovery about him in the process.
It very quickly becomes apparent that they’ve become trapped in a web of lies from which they can’t escape…
Lighthearted and fast-paced, this chick-lit mystery is a tale about the darker side of social networking.

F ollowing a farewell party for two exceptional high school athletes at the local country club, seven friends end up at the nearby lake with a couple of cases of beer, an evening of goodbyes before they enter into the world of adults, college, and uncertain futures. What they find at the lake will change each of their lives in strange and inconceivable ways.
As they settle in, building a fire and opening beers, they are suddenly aware that they are not alone. An eighth person has appeared, a tall, bearded man making himself at home amongst the kids. Claiming to be a traveler, he tries to simplify his role in the universe in a manner the teens will understand.
“A bum? No, I’m not a bum. And yes, as a matter of fact I was around during the sixties. A hippie? Maybe. But that’s something you children wouldn’t know a lot about, a different era, one of strange and wonderful turbulence, of growth, of terrible dissension that could easily have molded the people into something good. Instead, it failed miserably. So very sad, the sixties. For a brief moment, one shining instant it was almost like the American Revolution, an entire people standing together against a repulsive injustice.”
He was speaking with such conviction, such passion that the group of youngsters couldn’t help but be drawn to the speech, mesmerized by this stranger.
“But unlike that earlier time, the sixties was poisoned, diseased by self-serving parasites who put their individual desires above the common cause. Those maggot vermin of the sixties made the carpetbaggers of the post-Civil War look like preachers. Not a Washington or a Jefferson in sight during those wonderful years of the sixties, the only hope for this country buried in Arlington Cemetery. But, of course, that’s another story.” He smiled, the first smile the group had seen cross his face, a sad, forlorn smile, the wrinkles appearing around his mournful eyes, a tiny dimple in his left cheek.
“A traveler, at least when talking about a traveler like myself, is a person who is placed somewhere for a very specific, or possibly in this case, a number of specific purposes. Sometimes I’m not sure what my purpose is at the start of a journey…but that’s not important. Try to understand, I’m someone who balances things out, who brings a little sanity to some obviously insane times. You see, occasionally people on this planet, and for that matter, in other places, have been driven to self-destruct…and to take the rest of their world with them. It’s during these crises that the leaders might need a strong dose of reality, a wakeup call. I’m that dose, so to speak. And that, my young friends, is as simple as I can make it.”
Without revealing his motives, he offers the teens a deal, a peek into their futures. He explains that all he wants in return is their word that they never reveal the events of this night to anyone, never talk about it except with each other. The kids think he is a mixture of insanity and delusion, but Gretta, the most adventuresome of the group, takes him up on the deal, choosing to look into her future
When Gretta returns, the excitement she brings back with her convinces several of the others to try. Each time, the kids return filled with excitement and wonder.
And Rod, fervently believing in the man’s legitimacy, has no desire to see the future, wants nothing more than for the traveler to allow him a few moments in the past, a chance to save his brother from drowning.
Rod’s decisions this night have the potential for absolute joy; a possible homecoming with his long dead brother. But changing history has its price, and if he follows through with his plan, it carries the risk of terrible consequences that might affect every member of the group.

Redneckedness: Living with, loving & surviving a redneck by Kit Frazier
Genre(s): Humor, Biographies & Memoirs
T rue tales of an award-winning writer who tripped over a cowboy and wound up up to her eyelashes in cowboys, cow poo and more rednecks than you can shake a stick at . . .
~Grandma Jessie used to say there are only three kinds of men in this world: the ones you play with, the ones you stay with and the ones who just need killin’.
With a redneck, you get a three-fer. I know this because I went through all three of these stages with a redneck of my very own.
And she warned me, the only difference between a redneck and a monkey is better use of opposable thumbs and the ability to buy beer.
In the beginning (the play-with and stay-with stages), my own personal redneck could do no wrong. The man practically farted hearts and flowers which is a neat trick if you can get him to do it. But as we neared the killin’ stage, I was tempted to chop off some his favorite parts and duct tape them to his forehead.
Since the law (even in Texas) frowns upon maiming your loved ones, I’ve amended Grandma Jessie’s Rule of Three to include two alternative endings.
The first is that if you can’t beat ‘em, you’re not using a big enough stick. Face it. You’re just gonna have to out redneck your redneck. This isn’t hard, if you have in fact decided your redneck is worth keeping. The trick is to just hang around with a redneck—any redneck—as long as you can possibly stand it, because sooner or later the redneckedness is gonna rub off on you.

Having barely escaped the siege of Adriel with his life, Luik is carried north to the realm of Tontha in an effort to weather Morgui’s all-out assault on Dionia.

When work begins on fortifying Mt. Dakka, Luik returns to the wreckage of Adriel and uncovers far more than he had anticipated. Events unfold quickly, and his path is plagued by mysterious encounters with the taken, and haunted by the increasing effects of evil upon Creation.
However the growing darkness also gives rise to the forces of good, including rumors of the mythical Knights of the Lion. Summoned by the suffering of his countrymen, Luik risks everything in search of the fabled City of Ot, and his men embark on perilous missions to rescue the far corners of Dionia.
But on the battlefield each faction of Luik’s devout Dibor comes face to face with the greatest opposition of all. Evil, now matured into its most perverted form, pits mankind against itself: father against son, brother against brother.
