“Today’s the day,” a strange man says to officer John
Galloway, sending a puzzling, yet ominous, message. Galloway can’t make sense
of the words, or perhaps the warning, but when he’s called in on a missing
child investigation, it quickly becomes clear to him that it’s not going to be
a good day.
Just in time for Halloween, a story about a girl who goes
missing on and the unfortunate police officer who finds her.
Excerpt: In the distance was a school, and he headed toward it, sweeping the beam back and forth in front of him as he jogged, his chest tightening with the strain. His forty-eight-year-old body was no longer suited for strenuous activity, but he was loathe to give up active duty for a desk job. Being in the field kept him sharp mentally and gave him purpose.
The vacant schoolyard was lit up like a 7-Eleven, and Galloway
refastened the flashlight to his belt. He brought a hand to his forehead to shield his eyes from the
harsh fluorescents of the standing light posts as well as those mounted to the
building. The girl was nowhere to be seen, but Galloway’s instincts told him
she was there. He turned a full circle to scout out every possible hiding place,
but before moving on to investigate, he called in his request for back-up again.
The harsh crackle of what he now figured was a malfunctioning radio squealed
back at him.
“Piece of shit.” He tapped the shoulder mic sharply with a
finger and then snapped it back in place. Something hit the back of his head hard enough to jerk him
forward. Pain radiated through his skull and the hand that had reflexively
touched the spot came away red. He turned in time to see a rock skipped away… and
something else. A tendril of dread traced a path down his spine when he spied a
shadow retreating into the courtyard.
With shaky fingers, he pulled the tail of his shirt from his
pants and wiped the blood from his hand. Jesus,
hold it together, John, it’s just a kid playing games.

Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl’s ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming—the wish that will destroy him.

Beautiful Monster, The Exchange (book 1)
Lev Baronovsky, a soulless creature of the night, has a
problem. Carly, the love of his life has just died in an accident and in three
days will pass to the other side. Without a soul, he cannot cross over with her
and the thought of spending eternity without his beloved is unbearable. Is
seventy-two hours enough time to find a way?
With the help of his brother, Alexei, they must face the
vilest creature of all, Boris, an ancient one with selfish motivations of his
own.
CHAPTER
ONE
Lev moved swiftly through the hallways, darting
in and out and around what, to him, were slowly moving nurses and
orderlies—those unfortunates working the midnight shift. Faster than any human
eye was capable of detecting, he made it to Carly’s room in a flash. In fact,
he made it there just in time, nostrils plucking the acrid scents from the air
better than any dog’s.
He sat on the bed beside her in the dimly lit
room and noticed, thankfully, she had no roommate. The bed beside Carly was
recently vacated. The scent of death still lingered heavily and sadly.
Taking her delicate hand in his, Lev noticed a monitor
clipped on an index finger. It seemed it measured her pulse and heartbeat. He
noticed too that her heart was beating slowly, though he didn’t need a monitor
for that. He heard its throb, and it made him think of a dying battery.
However, relief settled on him as he realized
he was the first to arrive after the accident that had left her comatose.
Carly’s family was nowhere near yet. It would take hours for them to get here
from the other coast. He had time, plenty of it. Stealthily, Lev glanced into
the hallway from his perch in the darkened hospital room. The occasional nurse
strode past, but it was late, or perhaps the better term was early. In the wee
hours of the morning, there would be fewer staff than during the day.
With a sigh, he took Carly in. Her blonde hair
was matted and dirty, even though it looked as if someone had tried to clean
her up, perhaps finger combing her thick mane and tucking it behind her head.
Her face was still perfect. Not a single scratch had sullied her beauty.
A knot twisted in his belly. Why hadn’t he
known? He could have saved her if only he’d known. But even Lev couldn’t know
everything. It was his brother, Alexei, who’d given him the news moments ago.
“Brother,” he’d said, “there’s been an
accident. Go now to the hospital or you’ll never see your precious Carly
again.”
He hadn’t asked the how, the why, the when.
Alexei had dropped his mental barriers. Lev felt them fall like a drawbridge.
His brother had let him in. It was easier than speaking—Lev was able to glean whatever
information he needed in an instant. But with the simple facts of Carly’s
accident came the realization his brother was happy for the turmoil. A hint of
a smile had curled Alexei’s full lips, and his eyes were bright. Lev was not
surprised.
He pulled his thoughts from Alexei and looked
down at his beloved’s hand in his. The pallor of it matched his own. He
listened to the slow rush of blood through her veins, willing it to grow
stronger.
Moving close, he whispered, “I can save you.”
He brought her dainty wrist to his lips. She smelled like death already—like
the musk of freshly turned earth. It was now or never. His fangs pricked at her
delicate skin, drawing a bead of crimson. It tasted of iron and copper and of
her. Carly’s very essence was in that droplet.
He stopped himself, knowing she wouldn’t want
him to go through with it. They’d talked about it many times, about the
possibility of him turning her, so they could be together, not for just the
blink of an eye that was a human lifetime but for eternity. She would be
furious if he turned her, and he wouldn’t blame her. Lev knew the pain and sorrow
of being changed into a monster against one’s will.
But at least she would still exist. We could still be together. He shook off that small, but oh so inviting
thought. No, he would not make a monster of her.
With a flick of his tongue, he licked the
droplet away. A shudder of pleasure shot through him, and as he pushed her
wrist to his mouth, like a child ready to bite into a ripe peach, the monitor
blared a warning. He dropped her arm. Panic filled him. Carly’s pulse rose and
fell suddenly. The stagnant tone of a heart that was no longer beating blared
from the machine, stabbing sharply in his ears, but the growing silence of
blood no longer pulsing through veins and arteries seemed louder. Hesitation
had cost him. His compassion, as his brother would say, was his one true
downfall.
Two nurses and a doctor were in the room now,
buzzing frantically around Carly. Lev had disappeared through the pane of the window
unseen and watched from outside where the moonless sky hid him. His jacket
flapped in a breeze that also tousled his long black hair. It whipped and
slapped against his cheeks.
It was said creatures like him could feel no
pain. That they existed only as predators—takers of life—but Lev’s world had
just crumbled. If he had a beating heart, it would be broken in two. Tears
welled in his eyes, and he longed to let them fall. No, more than that, he
wanted to scream, wanted to rip his cold dead heart from his chest and stomp on
it.
Lev gathered himself as best he could, pinching
the tears from his eyes and staring up to the heavens, but there would be no
help for him there. For Lev Baranovsky, there was no God, only this perpetual
hell he lived in. Love may come for him again in time, though he wasn’t sure he
wanted it to. Would he ever get over losing his precious Carly? The vicious
cycle of love and heartbreak was enough to drive him mad.
He should go now. Carly was gone. There was
nothing he could do. Even though his brother would be at home, he needed the
comfort of his own space to grieve.
He looked down at the ground two stories below,
and when he peered back up for one last glimpse of his beloved, his brows
lifted and his dark eyes grew to the size of poker chips.
Carly was dead, but she wasn’t gone.

The Oath
Book 2 of The Coven Series
By Apryl Baker
Release Date: 10/07/2014
Summary from Goodreads:
She killed herself.
Everyone asked why, but when I got my hands on my sister's diary, I understood exactly why.
I stared at the girl in the mirror as I removed my nose ring. Gone was the black hair, replaced by golden blonde locks that made my sapphire blue eyes shine and my California sun-kissed skin glow. The Goth chic clothes had been put away and I wore a pink tank top and a pair of khaki colored Capri’s. Stylish sandals completed the outfit. I wanted to barf.
The snotty little would-be witches would pay for what they'd done. By the end of the week, they’d all be praying to whatever god they worshiped to hide them from the hell coming for them.
May the Fates have mercy upon them, because they would pay the same price they’d demanded of her.
Their lives.

About the Author
So who am I? Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
Growing up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell your mama on you. So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.
Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my family and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce...lol.
I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

An Amazon Kindle novella series
~~With dueling points of view, the author allows the reader firsthand
knowledge of tempting desires destined for failure in a world where this
union is unacceptable on both sides of Purgatory~~
She's a doppelgänger, a myth, a night-fright, and as singular in existence as an individual's dream—a demon's blunder. She has no name, no identity...unless she wears a human, but she's unwilling to kill her host as her elders strongly advise. She'd rather borrow a human life, entertain feelings of the flesh and then release her host.
Until she met Gaire that was enough, but now she wants more than being a creature from Down Under pretending to be a part of what's outside of Purgatory.

Another Ray Reynolds novel by Janet Taylor-Perry
Twelve women are dead, and a thirteenth is missing. Detective Ray
Reynolds races time to catch a killer. Nothing ties the victims
together, except the way in which they died. What Ray discovers blows
him away as the battle takes on a supernatural element. There’s just one
small catch — evidence points to Ray as the murderer.
From a small town in Mississippi, Larkin Sloan is a dynamic young
teacher in the equally small town of Eau Bouease, Louisiana. Abducted,
she foregoes common sense and rational behavior in order to stay alive
and not become the thirteenth victim of a serial killer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
So who am I? Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
Growing
up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also
learned parents have spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell
your mama you were seen kissing a particular boy on a particular day
just a little too long. So when you get grounded, what is there left to
do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a
romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I
also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything
paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would
entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.
Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce...lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Hitchhiker
A humorous paranormal thrillerAmazon Kindle
Supernatural abilities haunt her. Brainiac students taunt her. The FBI "Freak Squad" wants her. Will she abandon her extra sensory talents in favor of freedom, or or will she hone them to help catch crooks?
Former army brat, Ainsley Benton, may have finally found her place in this world, and it's among the freaks. This small town art teacher has the ability to see, hear, and feel what other people are experiencing, and now the FBI’s freak squad wants to use her "human bug" abilities to catch bad guys. Despite her fear of commitment, failure, and responsibility, Ainsley temporarily agrees to help this team of misfits, and ends up risking life and limb to investigate a conspiracy that may only be one of her schizophrenic co-worker’s paranoid delusions.
What others are saying about Hitchhiker:
"Ainsley always knew she was a little different from other people, but she didn't fully realize
what paranormal gift she possessed until a small, secret government agency recruited her to work for them. And what a motley crew these agents are, each with his or her own special abilities - and personalities to match! Despite the danger, she is drawn to the excitement her school teaching job cannot provide, and she signs on - to begin an adventure that has her pursuing bad guys using her unique power. Audra Middleton has created a cast of compelling characters who bond together to form an unusual family of sorts in their crime-fighting mission. This is an intriguing and very enjoyable story."
~John L. DeBoer, author of The Flame (due out in September), The Side Effect, and Get the Picture?
"The Hitchhiker had me laughing out loud throughout. Audra Middleton has a sense of humor second to none, and her dialogue is priceless as are the incidents in her extremely well-plotted book about Ainsley, a school teacher with a wonky gene in her DNA that allows her to "hitchhike" on the minds of criminals–whether she likes it or not.... Audra’s cast of supporting characters is so delightfully and deftly drawn, each with his or her own distinct foibles, from a hypochondriac genius schizophrenic nerd, to a con-man who should be in jail, but is "assisting" the FBI, a female agent with absolutely no patience for Ainsley, however good an asset she might be to crime-stopper, and an over-worked, over-stressed senior agent "one cheeseburger away from a heart attack", this novel is one of the most entertaining I’ve ever read. I firmly believe, Audra Middleton is a name to watch for."

Almost, though, isn’t enough when Janie finally discovers what the town is hiding. The town of Everod has been waiting for Janie and if she hopes to survive, she’ll need to confront the truth of who and what she really is.
