What would you do if you Googled yourself and uncovered something shocking?
In this page turner suspense, a group of privileged suburban moms amuse themselves by Googling everyone in town, digging up dirt to fuel thorny gossip. Caroline Thompson, devoted mother of two, sticks to the moral high ground and attempts to avoid these women. She's relieved to hear her name appears only three times, citing her philanthropy. Despite being grateful that she has nothing to hide, a delayed pang of insecurity prods Caroline to Google her maiden name--which none of the others know.

The human race hangs by a thread the thickness of a single gene: RC-714. The gene, which unlocks the millennia of genetic traits stored in junk DNA, gives crops the ability to rapidly evolve and thrive in any environment. But RC-714 is passed on when consumed. Any creature—mammal, reptile, fish or insect—that eats the genetically modified crops becomes a slave to the Change. Bodies morph into unrecognizable abominations. Intellect takes a back seat to ravenous hunger. And all the world’s species eat each other toward extinction.

Racing against this impending outcome, Peter Crane and his family attempt to reach a laboratory in Boston, where a slim hope of saving the human race from extinction exists. But before heading northeast, they must visit the swamps of South Carolina’s Hellhole Bay to find a scientist who can help undo the damage done by ExoGen, the corporation that created and unleashed RC-714. Upon reaching Hellhole, the family is captured by a man named Mason, who not only survived the Change, but managed to keep a small community alive as well—a community that is subject to his every carnal desire and whim.

Trapped in the clutches of a man whose heart is as twisted as the monsters that roam the Earth, Peter, Ella, Jakob, Anne and Alia, must fight for their freedom from a literal hellhole. Danger lurks behind every door, stalks beneath the swampy waters and descends from the sky. As enemies—both human and ExoGenetic—close in, surviving will be harder than ever, and for some, impossible.

In 2015, Jeremiah Knight exploded onto the horror/sci-fi scene with his Top 100 bestselling novel: Hunger. Combining the speculative science of Crichton with the twisted scares of King, Feast continues the story that made Hunger the #1 post-apocalyptic novel.

What do a scarred marchioness, a laundress with a face-covering birthmark, a naval intelligence officer, a woman with dreams of grandeur, and three king’s guardsmen have in common?

Five friends, tied together by true love, duty, or friendship, begin a journey that will change the lives of everyone involved.
.
THE SECRET PRINCESS...
Can a mission to find the missing bastard children of the new prince regent lead to the destruction of the happiness enjoyed by a lowly intelligence officer and his beloved Loyalty?
.
Will the most intelligent officer in the king’s guard be able to find the children, and how does his mission link to the woman he loves with all his heart—or is the link just a hallucination dreamed up by a friend suffering from seizures?
.
THE DISFIGURED MARCHIONESS...
Can a disfigured Marchioness, richer even than a king but hoping for true love, finally find her heart’s desire in handsome Ricardo, a member of the King’s Guard?
.
Ricardo is the son of a merchant, certainly not noble, and more than a little used to winning the heart of any woman he wants. In fact, his friends tease that he changes romances as often as they change socks, especially his best friend, a gruff and aging guardsman with a secret past. He believes that his heart is too wild to be tamed and held by one woman for long, but he’s about to meet the one woman who might change his mind.
Although he’s been assigned to guard Nora, Marchioness du Andres, with his life, nothing prepares him for the assault on his heart.
.
Can the son of a merchant and a woman wealthy beyond his imagination find a way for true love in a world where nobles marry based on everything else, or will he be forced to watch as she gives everything he holds most dear to a stranger who murders her in her sleep simply for her riches?
.
THE SCARRED MARCHIONESS' SECRET LOVE...
What happens when a scarred Marchioness with more fortune than the King desperately seeks a noble marriage to end the threats against her life?
.
Although she loves the handsome guard who has captured her heart, the disfigured Marchioness du Andres is forced to marry another man. The match must be made for security, with the hope that he is not choosing her solely based on her title and fortune, and will likely be without love. However, even with everything that she offers, she knows that the options will be few, especially since so many are plotting to take her life. It is up to her once-ward Alexander, now a King’s Guard, and handsome Ricardo, the love of her life, to protect her—and eventually deliver her into the hands of her future husband.
.
He has trained for years to be able to protect the nobility, but nothing has prepared Ricardo for the idea of giving the woman he loves to a man who may never love her.
.
Can the daughter of a noble family, rich beyond calculation, hope to find love in a land filled with chaos and plots to rob her of her most valuable possession—her life—or will she be forced to marry someone who values only her purse?
.
NO LONGER A PRINCESS...
Can a princess and a marchioness, each scarred and afraid, make a new life on the run with the men they love and the guards who protect them?
.
Can Lady Nora, heiress to more than even the throne offers, finally find safety even as she runs for her life with Princess Loyalty, who must hide from would-be contenders for the throne or will those who seek their lives finally succeed in their unanimous mission?

Imagine your filthiest, dirtiest encounter being caught on camera with your steps right there in the frame with you.

Falling Fire (Part 1)
Falling Fire (Part 2)

MEGAN KIMSEY, born and raised in a small Colorado town on the edge of the La Plata Mountains, grows up haunted by images. Straddling cryptic glimpses of events that foretell her own future, and events remembered from a past in the highlands of Ecuador and Peru more than 400 years before she was born, she must challenge her Catholic upbringing and the stigma of a mental breakdown following a childhood tragedy, before she can strike out on a quest for meaning.

Megan’s story shifts between present tense and flashbacks that recount her nervous breakdown and grief, when, as a teenager, a child she loves freezes to death on the family’s front porch. And later, when her father, the one person who believes her strange visions aren’t hallucinations, dies in a hit-and-run accident. His death and the belated birthday gift he leaves for her, launch her on a quest to face her phantoms and piece together the riddles in her dreams.

Megan’s journey leads her to South America and an expedition among the remnants of the Inca Empire, and finally, to a wind-swept outcropping high atop Cotopaxi Mountain in search of the frozen child she sees in her dreams. Accompanied by a team of archeologists and an indigenous woman of wisdom who becomes her mentor and guide, Megan must confront her ghosts and claim her own redemption.

In 1945, Stalin imprisoned a team of Nazi scientists and forced them to think beyond the nuke. Now seven decades later, they are finally ready.

A Russian President cornered by sanctions and a Russian Analyst unencumbered by legacies team up to revive Russia's past glory. Thinking beyond the nuke, the duo unleashes a Russian roulette of international intrigue and tomfoolery.

Missing Siberian Tigers, South Beach parties on aircraft carriers, Shenanigans in Pyongyang make this macabre medley a delight for fans of Dr. Strangelove and Burn after Reading.

Parnell Stillman, ace pilot, is man to the bone in a lackadaisical kind of way. He has the ability to fly through anything except solid mountain. He lives alone because people are not to be trusted—especially women. Flying is his high road until one sleet-filled morning--it isn’t. Mischance forces his plane down in a frozen wilderness. He can survive, but his live cargo is another matter--an annoying social worker and five orphans--the most irksome freight he’ has ever hauled in his life.

Rebecca Hollis is determined to force the obnoxious, disagreeable, self-centered pilot to do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and rescue of the orphans…Even if it means making the noble gesture of keeping her mouth shut—or other womanly things. But the pilot isn’t having it. No way. No how. No time. He’d rather dance with a grizzly or wrestle a puma than give his heart over to a conniving, wily do-gooder. Heroics is not his thing. Rebecca Hollis has other ideas—lots of them! All artful and disingenuous—one of which is bound to work… She hopes.

David McBain can do the impossible with one hand tied behind his back...

But miracles take him a wee bit longer.

When retired Army Captain Kenzie Wallis-Manning receives a mysterious package containing an emerald brooch, she has no idea how life-altering the Gaelic inscription is until she's catapulted back in time to England in May of 1944. Her disappearance sends David McBain to the past to find her and bring her back to the future.

The miracle-working David just might have lost his touch when a series of miscalculations lead them into even greater danger, creating havoc and peril for the time travelers. The mission proves even more dangerous when he is pitted against the best interests of his country. Can these two soldiers find their way back to the future before they lose their hearts and more in the most difficult battle of their lives.

Does Seattle give a damn about his past reputation?
After being caught in a backseat tryst with the mayor's son, twenty-one-year-old Shane Fontaine is exiled from his small hometown. Now, alone in the city, he seeks solace in punk show mosh pits and bathhouse saunas.

"My Journey Through War and Peace: Explorations of a Young Filmmaker, Feminist and Spiritual Seeker" is based on Melissa Burch's experiences as a war journalist for BBC, CBS, and other networks. Her team was one of the first documentary crews allowed in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, and she was featured in a New York Times story about her time in Afghanistan. She was just in her twenties when she traveled with the mujahideen, filmed an attack on a Soviet convoy, slept with an Afghan commander, and climbed 14,000-foot mountains in the Hindu Kush. "My Journey Through War and Peace" examines how, through outward action and inward exploration, life can unfold in mysterious ways, far beyond cultural and family expectations. In looking back at this momentous decade, Burch shares why she pursued such dangerous and difficult circumstances at such a young age and continued to live on the edge. She now understands that she was seeking self-discovery, a connection to something greater, and ultimately inner peace. This exciting memoir will resonate with fans of "Eat Pray Love," "Wild," and other popular memoirs that describe extraordinary inner and outer journeys.

Freud snorted another line of cocaine in celebration, believing that this story would help Nietzsche in his quest to fire God from Heaven Inc.

How will he prevail?
