Book Spotlight – “Early Grave” by Lori Drake

Book Blurb

She couldn’t save his life. Can she save his soul?

Joey and Chris have everything werewolves could ask for: a strong pack, good health, money, and centuries stretching ahead of them to live their lives to the fullest. Or do they?

When Chris turns up dead, the whole pack goes on alert. A killer is on the loose, one who knows enough about werewolf biology to be a real threat.

But it’s not just her pack that Joey ends up fighting for. Chris’s spirit lingers, denied his eternal rest by a ruthless fanatic. Can Joey foil the killer’s nefarious scheme and set her best friend’s spirit free? Or will he be trapped between this world and the next forever?

Early Grave introduces a new breed of werewolf in a nail-biting mystery chocked full of surprising twists, complex emotions, and a diverse cast of characters. If you like strong, independent women and convention-defying tales with a generous dose of the supernatural, you’ll love this book!

Book Spotlight – “The Smoke in His Eyes” by Shane Wilson

Book Blurb

When TJ—a musical prodigy—witnesses a traumatic event as a child, his senses are overrun with intense hallucinations. Over the years, his visions increase in frequency and intensity, but he hides them from those he is closest to, including his best friend and musical partner, Lila, who challenges TJ to reject formulaic creation in order to create something beautiful and unique. But when Lila signs a record deal, TJ feels left behind and alone with his art and his visions.

That’s when TJ meets an artist named Muna. In his eyes and visions, Muna is made of smoke, and as this magical woman helps him learn how to manage his visions and how to translate what he sees and hears into music and lyrics, she begins to disappear. His journey into Muna’s past is a journey to discover where inspiration originates and what happens to an artist when that inspiration is gone.

When she falls through a mystical portal, Nima finds herself caught in a magical war raging beneath the highest mountain on Earth. Accompanied by her friend Drew Adley, she will have to contend with mad sorcerers, monsters out of legend, and the great mountain itself.

Their only route home blocked and with dangers coming from every side, Nima and Drew will have to use all their skill and bravery if they are ever to escape the horrors that lie in the depths UNDER EVEREST.

I’m a former sailor in the U.S. Navy and spent many years in various civilian technical jobs. That work has taken me all over the country and all over the world, allowing me to lead more than a few fantasy adventures myself.

The work that I hope to produce here I feel falls into the category of fantasy adventure, with a side of epic, thriller, and maybe a little character drama as well. Everything you will read from me is work I wanted to read too – that’s what got me working on these projects in the first place.
