The "What If" Girl



It's about a quiet young woman who is continually forced to find an inner strength she didn't know she had when she faces trying times in her life; chronic illness, sexual harassment, bullying, and grief.

It's about the complexity behind a woman's decision to live in the moment and embrace the opportunity for intimacy when it presents itself.

It includes details of how she caught guy's cheating, and that's important because, let's be real, people need help on how to deal with that. 

For The Girl

Who’s had her heart broken but still believes in love 
Who feels loss so deeply it changes her forever 
Who is determined to be a force to be reckoned with 

This Is For You

Shank: Tool's Law 1



David "Tool" Roney is a dangerous man with a moral code. Stuck in brutal Parchman Maximum Security Prison in Mississippi, doing life for armed robbery, and abused by his guards, he is consumed by only one thing – escape.
His plotting pays off, and together with two other inmates he breaks free. But escaping and staying free are two different things.
Tool hits the road with only one thing in mind - to return to the prison and to take vengeance on his tormentors. That’s Tool's Law. But then he meets a girl called Rose.
With the police on his heels, injured and deep in the Mississippi woods, he has no choice but to trust her. For once good fortune is on Tool’s side, the girl turns out to be a bit of an outlaw herself and nurses him back to health.
But his demons will not let go, he hunkers for revenge and engages in several robberies to make money. And while the ex con slowly opens his heart to his Rose, his old habits take a long time to die. Rose, keen to hang on to her man, makes Tool an offer he can’t refuse - his own shack, deep in the woods, far from the arms of law enforcement. Tool is more than happy to take her up on it.
But will it be enough to give up his plans for revenge and his career of crime and carnage?

Shank is an archetypal Great American novel as well as an existentialist meditation on imprisonment and a gripping pulp story. The writing is clean and clipped, the pacing is breathless. The action and the story’s tragic background roll seamlessly together into a steam train of a novel. If Mark Twain, Jean Paul Sartre and Richard Stark had spent creative time in a prison yard, this is what they might have come up with.

Gaijin Cowgirl: A Val Benson Thriller


Gaijin Cowgirl: 

A Val Benson Thriller 

(The Val Benson Thriller Series Book 1)


Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for beautiful and troubled American Val Benson – until a wealthy client with a dark past – reluctantly gives up a map to a stash of Japanese war loot and tempts his favourite girl into a dangerous treasure hunt.
But the Congressman’s daughter is not the only one interested in the map: Yakuza, bent cops, human traffickers, rogue CIA agents and her father are hot on her trail, snapping at her high heels.
So begins the dark, epic journey of a new anti-hero of Asian Noir, a protagonist both ambiguous and courageous, and utterly unreliable. From comfort women and tomb-raiding in Japanese-occupied Burma to the murderous echoes of the Vietnam War, long forgotten crimes come roaring back to life, as Val leaves a trail of destruction and chaos in her wake.
Together with her best friend, the equally unreliable nightclub hostess Suki, a British kickboxer and a washed up Australian treasure hunter, Val travels through Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bangkok to the Thai-Burmese borderlands for a dramatic showdown with her pursuers. Finding the treasure before someone less deserving does is her only hope for survival, and perhaps redemption.
Gaijin Cowgirl by American writer Jame DiBiasio is a breathless page turner with a beautiful, dangerous heroine to match.

Strange Dreams



Twenty-year-old Niana Jones struggles living between dual realities when she begins lucid dreaming and astral projecting out of nowhere. At first, she doesn’t realize that this is what is happening, but she falls in love with a man she can’t seem to run into daily while simultaneously adjusting to a new life…. living away at college for the first time. Niana learns that she has not only been seeing this man forever, but she also learns that this gift, almost a special power given to very few people in the world, is for a purpose greater than herself. By the end of her first semester away for college, she learns why, when she meets another young woman who suspects her grandmother was murdered for possessing the power to spiritually be more than one place at once, and she (as well as others) too could be next.

Reflections of a Whispering Dove:Entangled in a Simmons Serenade


Reflections of a Whispering Dove:

Entangled in a Simmons Serenade

When the romance is over and all you have left are the words he wrote you...

A collection of Sultry, Seductive Love Poems penned with the intent of luring an elusive butterfly.




Edge of Sanity



The 1960s was a time of chaos and uncertainty in a world that sometimes seemed to be spinning out of control—especially for Emily Gillespie, who grew up in the small southern town of Burgaw, North Carolina, where children played in the streets and no one ever locked their doors. But Emily’s marriage is not the fairytale that friends and family see—her husband is jealous and abusive. She had spent time in a mental institution years earlier following a devastating miscarriage, and now as anonymous, voiceless phone calls intrude into her carefully controlled world, she feels herself teetering on the edge of sanity. When her dog is poisoned, people she loves are killed in separate accidents, and her life is threatened, Emily reconnects with a childhood friend who wants to be much more. But she is determined to find inner strength that she’s not even sure she possesses to build a safe, new life for herself and her children.

The Chronocar



Simmie Johnson was born the son of a slave. He was also a genius. After earning a PhD in physics from Tuskegee Institute, he wrote a paper outlining a theory for time travel, including plans for a time machine—called a chronocar—which was published in a scientific journal in the early 1900s . Since the technology required to build the chronocar did not yet exist, the paper and its brilliant writer faded into obscurity. 
A century later, a young Illinois Tech student, Tony Carpenter, discovers the journal article and decides to build a chronocar so he can travel back to 1919 to meet the black scientist he hopes to emulate. 
Unfortunately, time is not on his side. 
Dr. Johnson is living in Chicago’s Black Belt with his beautiful daughter—and Tony arrives just in time for the bloodiest race riot in the city’s history. Can Tony use the chronocar to save his new friends, or will his attempt forever alter the future he hopes to return to? 
“Gritty, hilarious, and tragic by turns, Steve Bellinger has written a time-bending tale of scientific discovery, love, racism, and spilled ginger ale. From the moment Tony Carpenter crash-lands his flawed time machine into Dr. Simmie Johnson’s 1919 parlor, things get too real, too fast. Bellinger skillfully intertwines the earnest, wacky optimism of youth with historical culture-shocks to create a gripping, timeless story.”— Greg Comer, author, Winner Take None
“Bellinger eloquently unspools the story of Tony, Ollie, and Dr. Simmie Johnson in their pursuit of scientific achievement, self-discovery, love, and friendship across time. The author expertly navigates two eras separated by a hundred years and an even larger cultural divide, where rigid racial mores help foster a host of unintended consequences.” — Jennifer Leeper, author, Padre: The Narrowing Path

Facade



My name is Amelia Blake, and I am one step away from securing a once-in-a-lifetime promotion as an Art Consultant at the prestigious, Seattle-based art gallery Victoria Weston Studios. All I have to do is prove to my boss, Mrs. Victoria Weston herself, that I have what it takes. Easy enough, right? 

But when exotic art photographer Nolan Carter James steps through the gallery door and proposes a living exhibit of the sensual nature, EASY flies right out those Tiffany glass windows. This proposal is so out-of-the-box that it will either wow my boss and instantly guarantee my promotion, or it'll have me out the door and looking for a new job in five minutes flat. Is the risk worth it? Is he worth it?

The closer I work with Nolan, the more intrigued I become by his captivating work, and the more I want to know. About him. About the story within these photos. And about how far I can push my boundaries, both physically and mentally. With stark realization, it dawns on me that my job might not be the only thing I'm risking in this art deal.

When the opportunity presents itself for me to explore more about the life and mind of this sexy photographer, will I allow him to lure me into a world I’d only ever imagined in my wildest and most wicked fantasies?

If what I do in the shadows makes its way back to my boss, everything I've worked for will be for nothing. So the only way I’ll try any of this is if no one besides Nolan knows who I am. 

So I’ll embrace the mystery with a facade. 


*While this series will have a theme that is darker taboo with an overall steamy contemporary romance feel, this is NOT a BDSM Dom/Sub relationship story. Lia and Nolan's story revolves around the sexual experimentations that allows you to find out who you are under the Facade of what is considered "normal."

The Newbie



It was a dream weekend…
Kyrie Carter enters a Halloween-themed radio contest and wins a spot on a paranormal investigation at the Berkeley mansion, a local haunted house. Leading the investigation are Drac and Gabe Petery, stars of the hit show Project Boo-Seekers. Kyr can’t wait to be alone in the dark with her celebrity crush, Gabe. 

…that turned into a nightmare.

Almost immediately, things take a turn for the worst. Fellow contest winners Andy and Kyle contemptuously dub her “Newbie,” and the Peterys’ behind-the-scenes teammate Spook Steele seems to have a chip on his shoulder whenever Kyr is around.


Most unsettling of all is the aggressive, vengeful spirit of Jeremiah Berkeley, who targets Kyr after she discovers evidence of a century-old murder at the mansion. She and Steele must put their differences aside to solve the mystery before Jeremiah silences Kyr for good.

Mia's Lists of Ten



Ten Reasons I'm in love with Michael Across The Hall

1. He is Michael Across The Hall!
2. He has gorgeous eyes and a super pretty smile.
3. He is kind. I know this, even though I have never talked to him, because I saw him talk to other people and he was nice to them and smiled at them.
4. He lives across the hall and therefore I kind of, sort of, know him (even though we've never talked before.)
5. We now sit across from each other, so now he is not only Michael Across The Hall, but he is Michael Across From Me In Science! Yes! Prayers do get answered!
6. I wonder if Michael is any good at science.... oh, wait, that is not a reason I love him! But, I do wonder that!
7. He seems smart. He answered all the questions the teacher asked correctly. Okay, well, the one he answered he got right. And even though it was only one question, I still feel like he is smart.
8. Because he is compassionate. April said that Emily said that Rebecca said that he once volunteered in an animal shelter (and it wasn't for community service.)
9. Because his name is Michael and that is just a perfect name.
10. Because I think he might be just tall enough that I can wear the high heels (the short ones.)
---
14-year-old Mia can’t seem to stop making lists. Somehow, Michael Across The Hall gets into all of them. Before long, he and Mia are involved in a crazy adventure. And Mia’s lists now include murderous ducks and an out-of-control singing chef!
