Once again I was in the backyard scolding my sweet chickies for jumping the fence to their run and getting into my flower garden. They tore my cute little flowers up! It was a massacre. When I caught them in the act I called them naughty chickens and told them that they were destructive little pterodactyls. What is their reaction? All five of them ran up to me and clucked sweetly. My garden, that I worked so hard for, was a complete disaster. Dirt and flowers everywhere. They thought a few sweet clucks was going to make up for their evil deeds? Yup. It worked. I was putty in their claws. They say that chickens are not smart. They may not be, but they are masters of manipulation.

One elite covert agent with no agency. One young billionaire with some serious James Bond fantasies. Together, they’re an unlikely team out to save the world — in style.

As the government shutters the top secret Hurricane Group, agent John Crane finds himself out of a job, with some very unusual skills and a classified resume. But if the government doesn’t want Crane’s talents, Silicon Valley prodigy Josh Sulenski does. Someone’s going to a lot of trouble to sabotage a harmless biological survey Josh supports, and he wants to know who and why.

It’s a world of wealth, intrigue, and vicious power struggles where governments just don’t matter. Working alone without official cover, Crane makes up new rules on the fly, relying on his wits and generous application of Josh’s money. But fast cars and flashy clothes only go so far. Caught in a crossfire between underworld factions, with innocent lives at stake, Crane is drawn into a battle to the death where all his skills, and all Josh’s money, may not be enough to save him.

This edition of Rope on Fire includes the bonus John Crane short story I Hate to Die.

The Apocalypse, Magic, Love, and a Battle for All Humanity

Adrian is an alpha descendant with gifts that allow him to call and charm others like himself. After the apocalypse that was caused by his father, Adrian is charged with gathering all free descendants in America for the remaining government. Instead of hunting them, the Marine forms Safe Haven Refugee Camp and creates a dream that even his betrayals can’t crush.

Angela is also an alpha, but she has been forced to hide her gifts for a long time. When the world ends, she risks everything to reconnect with the power inside and finally makes peace with who she is. Angela uses those powers to cross the broken country to reach her vacationing son, who has been taken in by a refugee camp called Safe Haven. Unaware of government trackers, the doctor continues to demonstrate how gifted she is as she travels, drawing more threats to their haven.

Marc is a moody Invisible whose powers haven’t presented yet. Denied a relationship with his soulmate, Marc is tall, dark, handsome, and only cares for his broken heart. Finding out that he has a child sends the military man to Safe Haven in hopes of reconnecting with his past. Sparks fly when Marc discovers Adrian’s secrets, triggering his alpha power and a battle between the two men for the love of one woman and leadership.

The government isn’t doing well underground. They’re running out of food and water, birth numbers are dropping like stones, and they have too many enemies topside to reclaim it alone. They need the power of the descendants or the meek will inherit the country. Benjamin, a member of the traitorous family who caused it all, would rather see the earth shrivel and die than to leave it to the survivors. He knows the descendants can help him put the world back to the way it was, if he can force enough of them to join his cause. The easiest way to do that is to kill the leaders or take their children.

Samantha can predict storms and sometimes control the elements. Drafted from a cushy job, Samantha escapes captivity and makes her way to the only place left in America where she’ll be protected. Sam learns Adrian’s secrets, but Safe Haven has become her home by then and the beta will sacrifice anything to protect it.

Kendle used to be a TV star. Thanks to a tidal wave and an outbreak aboard the cruise ship, she was stranded on Pitcairn Island for months after the war. While there, she was infected by an unknown disease that caused violent rages which progressed to madness in the rest of the population. Kendle survived when almost no else did and evolved into a beta from the horror. As she recovered, Kendle figured out a way to get home. She succeeded and brought the illness with her to Safe Haven.

Nature is the enemy as she tries to push humanity over the brink of extinction with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, diseases, animal attacks, and harsh weather. Mother Nature knows the Creator is bringing these descendants together for a final post-apocalyptic battle that will save the world or finish burying it under the ashes. She’s trying to lower the numbers so she’ll have the advantage in that fight. Nature wants the plague of humans gone and she’ll go to any lengths to accomplish that goal. She’ll even challenge a Creator for it.

The Survivors is book one of an epic fantasy series where a few gifted women and men are now all that stands between humankind and extinction. They’ve been called together in this time and place to provide safety for the remnants of society. Would you care to see how it all plays out? Just grab a copy and you can come along for the ride. Everyone is welcome in Safe Haven.

Snarky, inappropriate and irreverent!

Bobbi Jax, AKA BJ is a magnet for trouble. But this time it looks like things are turning themselves around. BJ hits the lottery when her dog, Twinkles, suddenly starts pooping glitter and jewels. It’s almost like BJ has her very own golden goose. Yup, life is turning from bar rags to riches.

Sorta.

If only BJ could ignore the odd set of characters that pranced into her life. A psychedelic-clothes wearing veteran named Marley, a too-many clothes wearing homeless woman named Duckie, a black-suited funeral director named Lurch (not really, but it seems to fit), and an old high school pal-in-need named Felicia, who wears rainboots to the bar.

And if that weren’t enough? Throw in some unicorns and Death Eaters. Why not?

Did I mention that Marley likes to light up?

No good deed goes unpunished in this romp through the St. Clemmons’ Cemetery. Word to the wise, if you see Kay, hide!

Quinn and Glasneck, still high on the beer fumes from a signing party at a local brewery, decided to take a second step away from their usual writing styles to put together a new mystery (for anyone who wants a laugh) in the style of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels – that is if Stephanie had a younger southern cousin, who ran a bar, and had a thing for police uniforms.

This is the second book in the Badge Bunny Booze Mystery, but each book is a stand alone in this series and does not have to be read in order.
