From the mind of new horror author Pete Castillo, comes a story about an age-old paranormal phenomenon.

Marco Torres was a boy when his parents noticed something unusual about him. The scare wasn’t long, but little did they know, it was just the beginning.

Eventually, Marco becomes aware of his abnormality, so he searches for answers. Around the same time, ghostly psychic visions of a crazed homeless man appear to him. When the visions and the defect subside, Marco thinks he’s in the clear until he’s almost killed by the same crazed man.

As Marco gets older, his affliction intensifies. He tries to become a writer, and does a quick stint in the Navy. Eventually, he flips when his path crosses with a mystery couple who have the same abnormality as him.

After the couple gain Marco’s trust the hard way, the new friends go on several adventures including a murder investigation. Will Marco learn to harness his ability without getting himself killed in the process?

By Yuan Jur

Genre: Science Fiction 

Book III in the Citadel 7’s Earth’s Secret trilogy, A Test of Good of Evil continues the journey of Earthling Ben Bloch and his superverse wardens Dogg and Uniss. War is threatening on all fronts, but there is a growing threat to the existence of the superverse itself which, unchecked, has been rising secretly into a force now seemingly unstoppable. The only possible way to save all of existence is far from a clear path, and it promises to tear Ben and his wardens apart in ways they could never have imagined.

About the Author

As a young adult Yuan Jur served in the Australian military. After that, he sought the solitude of monastic life serving the community first as a Buddhist high layman and then ordained as a monk. He was eventually promoted to abbot and theologian in Buddhism’s warrior-caste arm known in the West as Zen. As a senior theologian, Yuan Jur studied many belief systems, doctrines and ideology from around the world, teaching through storytelling. During those decades, he also gained a master’s degree in Chinese martial arts and medieval weaponry.

After a life threatening illness ended his monastic career in 2007, Yuan Jur combined knowledge gained from his decades of study with a love of sci-fi/alternate world fantasy to construct a totally new and immersive superverse experience for readers.

For the Love of Police

by Carolyn Arnold

About In the Line of Duty:

He devoted his life to seeking justice. But would she get any for him?

It was an ordinary day for police officer Barry Weir. It was the end of shift, he was tired, and he just wanted to get home to his wife and kids. But someone had other plans for him, shooting him down and forcing him to make the ultimate sacrifice.

When news of Weir’s murder reaches the precinct, it leaves Detective Madison Knight and every cop in the Stiles PD itching for revenge. It cuts Madison’s boyfriend, colleague, and Weir’s childhood friend, Troy Matthews, deepest of all, driving him away from everyone he loves just when they need one another the most.

With evidence pointing to a gang-related drive-by, Madison and her team investigate the town’s seedy underbelly in search of justice for their fallen brother. But the deeper they dig, the more convoluted the case becomes. Now they need to figure out if this was a random shooting as part of a gang initiation, a straight-up hate crime, or a targeted kill. But with members of the Stiles PD under attack, they have to do it fast…before more officers pay with their lives.

BOOK BLITZ: Don't Forget the Parsley By Marie Claire Lim Moore

Don't Forget the Parsley

By Marie Claire Lim Moore

Genre: Memoir

Marie Claire Lim Moore builds on her first memoir, Don’t Forget the Soap, offering more entertaining stories about her family in this follow up. Like her first book, Don’t Forget the Parsley is a collection of anecdotes from different points in Claire’s life: stories from her second-generation immigrant childhood in Vancouver and New York City mix with recent expat experiences in Singapore and Hong Kong where she balances multiple roles as wife and mother, corporate executive and author. Her positively Filipino parents continue to have a big influence on her whether it comes to managing family and career, meeting heads of state and world leaders or simply making new friends. From stray observations (everything is funnier at church) and midnight anxieties (if Jessica Simpson gets to go to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, why shouldn’t I?) to life mantras (don’t let perfection hold you back) and litmus tests (would you serve drinks at my mother’s art show?), Claire’s warm and honest storytelling will resonate with readers and leave them smiling.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT & REVIEW: A Confession By William F. Aicher

A Confession

By William F. Aicher

Genre: Literary Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Psychological Fiction, Philosophical Fiction

William F. Aicher’s A Confession takes a look inside the mind of a nameless man struggling to find meaning in a life that he now questions. Journey with him as he navigates through this crisis by recounting of the choices he has made to a captive. His falling in love with a millennial, a glossy mirror of who he used to be, just adds to his life questions. This timeless internal struggle explores the very definitions of arrogance, freedom, regret, ego, control, public humiliation, and blackmail in the digital age.

My Review:

How much is too much honesty? As I read this book, this thought pervaded my consciousness. I've battled with similar situations (in essence if not experience) in my own life, and as I read this spellbinding and insightful novel, it made me reflect back to when have I disclosed enough? This is a gripping read throughout, and the finish was monumental. I really like the anonymity of the main character, as he could be any one of us. William Aicher has created an entertaining, complex, and introspective work of literature that kept my interest and I will be going back to read a second time. It's that good. Five stars. 

Author Bio

William F. Aicher is the author of the upcoming novel, A Confession, and two previous books. He works a “day job” as the Chief Marketing Officer for online sheet music retailer, Musicnotes.com and is also a champion of intellectual property rights in the digital age.
