The Emergency Hotline

Online entrepreneur Steve Cooper has his own emergency. His mother, recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, has gone missing while on vacation abroad. Young unemployed but street smart Calvin Brooks has been conscripted to look after his friend's business during his absence.

When anybody who calls up with an emergency, either real or imagined, it is Steve's job to connect that person with the professional most qualified to help. The heartbeat of his business is a Rolodex and cell phone, each with all of the appropriate numbers of these professionals. Money for old rope. Unless you manage to lose both before Steve even leaves the country. Now what do you do? If you're Calvin, you answer the calls and provide your own misguided brand of professional advice. Aided by Bob, the friend who was responsible for the loss of the Rolodex, madness ensues.

Calvin's first two customers are both hell bent on committing suicide by throwing themselves from tall buildings. Using highly irresponsible techniques, he manages to dissuade both from their fate, but at a cost. Janet, the first caller and a stripper by trade, has decided that fate has used Calvin to bring them both together in eventual wedlock. Meanwhile, the second 'would be jumper' Mike, has convinced himself not only that Janet holds the key to his happiness but that Calvin has inappropriate designs on her, himself.

With Bob's help, Calvin has to juggle keeping Steve's business afloat with earning enough money to replace his expensive phone. Throw into the mix a woman in her mid-sixties with multiple personality disorder. Her wealthy son offers Calvin decent money to look after his mother while he takes care of his multi million dollar business deals. It turns out that Sylvia becomes a different person depending on which room she is in, a fact Calvin comes to grips with in hilarious fashion. In three different rooms, Sylvia becomes a sex crazed aristocrat, the daughter of a naval admiral and a German psychiatrist whose second job is located in Helga's house of pain.

In the middle of all this, Calvin's partner in crime has received a call from Mary in Chicago. Mary thought she had called a psychic hotline whose number was one digit removed from Steve's office phone. Bob was less than honest with Mary suggesting she was due to receive a substantial cash windfall from an ailing uncle. Who would have guessed that Mary, accompanied by her demonic one-eyed cat, would track Bob down?

Will Calvin manage to evade wedding bells? Will Mary sue Bob? Will Mike persuade Janet that he is the better man? Will Calvin earn enough money to replace Steve's expensive phone? Can the Rolodex be located before Steve gets back? Does Steve find his mother? Will Calvin's sanity prevail against Sylvia's eccentric excesses?

A standalone, contemporary erotic novella

She won’t go down without a fight…and he’s looking forward to it.

Harper left the world famous solo artist, Judd Hart, over a year ago. No matter how much she cared for him, their worlds were miles apart. All they shared was great sex and the ability to drive each other crazy. So why is she at his concert, drooling over the sound of his delicious voice, when she’s spent months convincing herself they can never work?

Letting Harper walk out on him was the biggest mistake of Judd’s life. And now that he’s sighted her amongst the crowd, he won’t let her run away again. Not even if it means holding her hostage on his tour bus until he can seduce some sense into her. They have a lot to work out, but this time, he will do whatever it takes to convince her they have a future.

Apart, their lives are smooth sailing. Together, it’s pure craziness. But sometimes it’s okay to enjoy the rush of insanity.

When your dreams become reality, being cursed can be a real nightmare.

Like a punch in the face, eighteen-year-old Maeve O'Malley's visions knock her off her path. The Pirate Queen stalking Maeve in her dreams killed her mother years ago, and now, the villian is coming for her. Maeve's decision to ditch Boston College takes everyone by surprise as she packs her bags, leaves America, and heads to the west coast of Ireland to chase her dreams—and end them.

Maeve uncovers an ancient family curse that refuses to remain silent until she accepts her predestined role in what many thought was only a legend. Her Irish history professor—a man she shouldn't be falling for—is the only person who understands the origins of her torment.

Maeve's journey becomes a medieval treasure hunt through Ireland's castles and ruins as she tracks the wrathful Pirate Queen who has her marked for vengeance.

The truth hurts. But the lies are fatal.

When a missing undercover agent resurfaces as the ringleader of a terrifying bomb plot, Special Forces veteran Tom Blake has to call on all his years of experience to avert a tragedy.

Braving Darkness follows the fate of humanity in the wake of a global nuclear war. Mutant shapeshifters, psychics, zombies, alien vampires, and archangels are all caught up in the struggle for Earth’s survival. The saga unfolds through three gripping narratives:

Marked by the Alpha Wolf -- After her dead mother’s avatar appears to her in The Program, a virtual-reality simulation that accesses the fourth dimension, Cassandra Kline escapes from the Pyramid Corporation and the domed city where she’d thought herself safe.

Outside the dome, she meets Rafe, the charismatic alpha of a mutant werewolf pack. He takes her in, and although his fellow shapeshifters are less than welcoming, Cassie and Rafe cannot deny the ever-growing attraction between them. Tested time and again by the chaos and intrigue surrounding them, they must decide whether their brave new world has any room for love.

Touched by the Dragon -- When Xavier, the leader of a band of dragon shifters, interrogates Circe, a witch he’s imprisoned, a casual touch transforms both their lives. Bound together in a way neither expected, they fight to understand the new powers their metamorphosis grants them … and cope with the irresistible desires it brings to the surface.

If they can master their new symbiosis, it could tip the balance of power in their fight against the Anu, the alien vampires whose spaceships patrol the skies above Earth. To succeed, however, they must risk not only their lives ... but their hearts.

Desired by the Archangel -- Magdalena Dupre is an expert hacker in The Program. When a beautiful man appears to her, she thinks he’s a subconscious projection -- only to learn that he, and the kiss she shares with him, are both very real.

As a member of the Council of the Seventh House, Michael has been overseeing Earth’s welfare for fifty thousand years. It’s against the rules for him to intervene directly … but love changes everything. Can he protect Magda and help the remnants of humanity take a final stand against the cruel Anu, or will his rebellion bring him only heartbreak?

Sapphira is a ticking time bomb.
Two years ago, she lost control of the unstable energies within her and caused a horrific supernatural incident. Since then, she and her family have lived in constant fear of another—and her freedom seems only a distant memory.
In Huskers Grove, Iowa, a darkness looms. A great and faceless evil. An evil that wants Sapphira. Can she master her abilities to save the ones she loves or will she fall victim to the enemy that seeks to take what is rightfully hers?

Acting on suggestions from her patient husband, a zany neighbor, and even her out of control kids, Heather dives head first into the quagmire of starting her own business. In the beginning, it didn't seem as hard to get prospective clients as she'd imagined. It soon became obvious that sealing the deal was the problem . . .

Will Heather realize her dream of becoming a professional pianist, or will it just be misstep after misstep yet again?

In the Fall of 1955, the state of Nevada used the electric chair to execute a prisoner for the first time.

It was also the last time.

Molly Blackburn, nicknamed Jane the Ripper by the Las Vegas press after killing eleven men while posing as a prostitute, was strapped to the chair without incident. The switch was flipped.

Everything after that went horribly wrong.

Since that day, a copycat Jane the Ripper has appeared almost every decade in a different city, mimicking Molly's choice in victims as well as her methods of murder. She kills eleven men then disappears, never to be found. The similarities between the bodies left behind each decade is uncanny. As if they are all the victims of the same murderer, not a copycat.

But that's impossible, of course, because Molly Blackburn is dead, her execution witnessed by a dozen people.

FBI Agent Jack Shaw, the lead investigator in the Jane the Ripper cases since the seventies, finally catches a break in 2009 when the intended fifth victim manages to turn the tables on the newest copycat . Everyone believes that the horror has finally ended with her capture. Shaw is not so sure, though, wondering if someone else will take up the mantle and kill seven more men to complete the cycle. But when no more bodies with her distinctive markings show up over the next two years, Shaw allows himself to believe that maybe he has seen the end of the Jane the Ripper murders.

As it turns out, what he thought was the end was only the beginning.

His hunt will take him across the country, and even when he thinks he's finally discovered the truth, he quickly learns that not everything is as it seems.

That not every monster is created equal.

That the nature of good and evil is not as black and white as he has always believed.

That not everything that is broken can be put back together.

That not every fractured soul can be saved.

When blood, smoke and ashes rise, no one comes out the same on the other side.

Blood, Smoke and Ashes is a 150,00 word supernatural thriller

But when he becomes attracted to Evan, things get complicated to the max--in ways a man accustomed to getting what he wants doesn't begin to understand.

Who can tame the heart of a vampire? A girl without blood.

When Parsons Belvray was eight, her mother was killed in an accident, and so was she. Almost. Her wealthy, grieving father placed her soul in the body of a Fanarlem--an artificial girl brought to life by magic. But most Fanarlem are born slaves, not privileged young women. Men treat Parsons like a toy or a curiosity, but she’s mastered the cold shoulder.

Dennis is a vampire who came to the Hidden Lands through a portal from the strange and enthralling land of America. The palace sorcerers have never seen anything like him before, so he is imprisoned and subjected of magical experiments to make powerful potions from his blood. The sorcerer Calban asks Parsons to guard Dennis, a task she hopes will lead to an elevated position in the court.

Once a respectable young lawyer, Dennis fights a constant battle against his urge to seduce and kill. Parsons feels an instant connection with him—she’s known the pain of transformation. Dennis has never seen anything like this strange girl before, but he is drawn to her—playing right into Calban’s plans to keep the vampire trapped forever. Parsons can save the man she loves, but only by sending him where an artificial girl could never go: home to America...

Elokon and Siron have yet to find a mate.

Elokon became the alpha of his tribe three months ago, and since then, the human towns nearby have sent a dozen women in tribute, and even the women of nearby dragon tribes have sought them out. Elokon’s tribe is powerful and any dragon would be pleased to bear a child of his bloodline.

But neither he nor Siron has seen a single woman that awakens the mating instinct. At long last, the High Dragon has passed down an edict: find a mate, or Elokon will be stripped of his power and banished. There is no place in the Dragonlands for an alpha who will not carry on the old bloodlines.

As the third daughter of an impoverished Earl, Adelina has no dowry and no prospects.

Desperate not to become a priestess, she makes a plan: when the High Dragon’s court comes for their historic meeting with the human king, she will be so alluring that she can steal the heart of one of the richest noblemen at court. She has worked late into the night, sewing herself a dress that will catch anyone’s eye.

During the festivities, she knows she can tempt someone into an indiscretion…

But much to her shock, that someone isn’t human. Furthermore, it’s not one someone, but two. And now that they’ve found their mate, Elokon and Siron aren’t planning to let her go.
