When a childhood tragedy and its bloody aftermath catch up with her, a woman’s husband must fight the forces from her past, and the impending threat of Hurricane Katrina, to save her.

And Hurricane Katrina is coming for the first.

D iscover a delicious new vampire novel series that will leave you yearning for more… Parched, Book ONE, A Paranormal Romance.
“Baron Ford,” he says and pauses to pick apart my expression, attempting to read how familiar I am with that name. I nod stiffly to give no indication I know exactly, who that is. I’m shocked to hear it in this setting, at this stage of my life, the one far away from Cambridge, Massachusetts over five years later.”
Advertising Executive, Clarity Parker thought she would never see Baron Ford again. Five years ago, she fell in love with him on their magical first date and then poof–he literally vanished into thin air. That’s why she’s stunned to hear his name again. After all, five years have passed since that night, and now, to add intrigue to insult, he’s requested that she be exclusively assigned to his multi-million dollar account.
Clarity makes every effort to avoid Baron Ford but when he finally catches up to her he issues a warning; things are not safe for her in the city anymore, especially since the strange fog has settled over Manhattan.
Before the foggy day is over Clarity’s entire world will come crashing down. Everything about her life that she thought was true is a lie! And there’s no time to question her soap opera star mother or business mogul father about it because Baron was right, her life is in danger, and so is his!
One thing’s for sure, from this point on, the world as Clarity Parker knows it will never be the same.
From Parched:
Baron lifts my chin with his index finger, lowers his mouth to mine and our lips are pressed together. The feel is warm and soft as always, and then we’re engaging in the perfect kiss. His hands are at the small of my back again, pulling me into him until he whisks me up off the sofa and into his arms. We’re moving at what seems like the speed of light towards the bedroom until I’m lying on top of the bed. He slips my dress off over my head and pulls back to take in the sight of me in the black panties and bra. I never felt so beautiful in my life–never wanted to feel this beautiful before. When he closes his eyes and clenches his jaw, I can clearly see that he’s aroused. I am too, and am wondering if this is truly about to happen?

The Beach Diaries 2012 by Stuart Millard
Genre(s): Travel, Travel Writing, Essays & Travelogues
A shirtless old man trips over a dog. A heavily pregnant woman screams obscenities into the face of a stranger. Middle-class families politely nibble crust-less sandwiches beneath a giant, spray-painted phallus. This is the beach; unchanging, yet always something new. It’s here that Millard makes his return, expanding on 2011′s observations to spend a long, full summer walking among the tourists, vendors, and sweating locals.
But it’s a Royal Diamond Jubilee year, and the Olympics are coming to town — and the skies see fit to flood the sands. When the people wash away, material must be sought elsewhere, and from the mating rituals in the public toilets to the summer’s mixture of lust and lightning, this is anthropology for the digital age. Social nuances, overheard conversations, and the story beneath the surface; Millard is Alan Bennett raised in a game arcade by sarcastic voyeurs, and had people-watching been an Olympic event, his leering neck would hang heavy with the weight of gold.

He did kill the man’s entire family in a car accident, and he may have been drinking, though thanks to the resulting coma he can’t remember much about that day. And that’s okay, because Derek is learning all about it from the district attorney as he explains to the jury why the young painter should go to prison.
Prison isn’t right now, though – it isn’t breaking into his home, stabbing him, or kidnapping him at gunpoint. And managing his stalker would be much easier if Derek could see him coming. But, he’s incapable of recognizing the man tormenting him, or anyone else. Can’t even recognize his own face in the mirror. Since Derek woke up from his coma, he’s been face blind: a rare condition that renders him unable to identify people by their appearances.

Acclaim for Aiden James:
“Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one.”
–Bookfinds review for THE FORGOTTEN EDEN
“Not only is Aiden James a storyteller par excellence, but his material for his story is riveting.”
–Huntress Reviews
“The hook to this excellent suspense thriller is the twists that will keep readers wondering what is going on as nothing is quite what it seems. Adding to the excitement is that the audience will wonder whether the terror is an evil supernatural creature or an amoral human…Aiden James provides a dark thriller that grips fans from the opening.”
–Harriet Klausner, Amazon’s #1 book reviewer for THE FORGOTTEN EDEN
“Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that CADES COVE snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit’s interaction became prevalent with the family… The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae’s (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we’ve seen before in horror and ghost tales.”
–Evelyn Klebert, author of A GHOST OF A CHANCE and DRAGONFLIES
“Aiden James is insanely talented!”
