Description:
Hunted
by Chaos. Protected by Death. Guided by Fire.
Terran
is now the key to a world she never knew existed.
Normal was what
Terran did best – house, job, dog, friends – rinse and repeat. She never knew
demigods existed, or that you could journey to other realms, manipulate nature
with your mind, or that the dead weren’t really gone at all, but instead
existed in the Underworld. No, she lived the mundane life of any
twenty-seven-year-old Alaskan girl…until she met Aiden, the complicated and
gorgeous new local art gallery owner.
As their fiery
relationship evolves into something more, Terran finds herself surrounded by a
world of nightmares and gods, when the mysterious Aiden proves to be more than
a simple man. Soon, Terran finds that she is not so simple herself. As an
ancient evil threatens to escape and unleash all Hell, Terran must dive into a
magical world she never knew existed to save them all…even if that means giving
up her life to do it.

Pages: 552
Genre: Romantic Suspense/Women’s Fiction
Format: Kindle
Book Description:
Lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. In
theory. But in one small town, in one family, that theory is put to the test.
Growing up in a rural town in Massachusetts
It is a dilemma shared by NICK FAHEY, the
detective assigned to the case. Arriving on the scene of the abduction attempt,
Nick expects to run a routine investigation. Until he meets the victim, the
niece of a woman he once considered a dear friend. Unfortunately, these days
Silvie Childs can barely stand the sight of him.
Once there was a time when Silvie Childs
worshipped Nick Fahey, believing he could do no wrong. Until the accident that
nearly killed her brother; the accident that Nick reportedly caused. Coming on
the heels of her own near abduction, the accident skewed Silvie’s ability to
trust men – especially Nick. But now, with the attempt on her niece’s safety,
Silvie finds herself in the untenable position of having to trust Nick to bring
the kidnapper to justice.
That trust is severely tested when, after only
two months, the case is closed for lack of new evidence. Feeling betrayed by
the system in which she works as a paralegal and by Nick, Silvie takes matters
into her own hands. Contacting local news stations to generate interest in the
case, allowing herself to be filmed hanging sketches of the suspect on
telephone poles, she will risk her own safety to protect that of her niece.
When her efforts re-open the wounds of her past, she is once again forced to
put her trust in the one man who still has the power to hurt her – Nick

K-9 Cop: Case #1 The Dreck Report
Author: Erna Mueller
Publisher: Erna Mueller
Pages: 220
Genre: YA
Format: Paperback/Kindle
Book Description:
No one thought as highly of Lieutenant Spencer Watley as he did himself. This selfish cop met 14 year-old Justin Andrews during an important stakeout. Determined to nab a group of cyber killers, he wasn’t going to let anything get in his way, especially a smart mouthed teenager like Justin.
After Spencer bids him good riddance, he is killed by the hackers and stands before the gates of heaven. But – what’s this? After a life of putting dangerous criminals behind bars, he’s locked out?
He yells at the angel blocking his entrance, only to find out he needs to go through the J.R.P. program before he can enter. That’s the Jerk Redemption program, otherwise known as sensitivity training boot camp, which to his horror consists of non-stop Oprah and Dr. Phil reruns. Or he can go back to earth and help Justin’s dysfunctional family. Spencer opts for the lesser of two evils, to help Justin.
But the Angel pulls a fast one on Spencer. He can only go back to earth in the body of his K9-Partner. Spencer refuses, but like it or not, Spencer becomes a dog. He falls back to earth and is slowly morphed into a dog that closely resembles a mop.
And if being a dog wasn’t bad enough, Spencer also swallowed an important microchip his killers need to hack into PC’s and steal millions. Now the criminals are hot on his trail for the only existing microchip that’s logged in his belly.
Justin and Spencer butt heads constantly; both are stubborn and willful, neither one wanting to give an inch. Spencer needs to find out what the killers are up to, so he swallows his pride and forms a bond with the boy. Spencer relays to Justin his past and together with the help of Justin’s girlfriend, Shahla; they discover the hacker’s plans. Spencer has broken down Justin’s reserve and he finally learns the meaning of unselfish love.
But it’s too late, the hackers have captured them.
Can Spencer maul the shins (and other choice areas) of his kidnappers and stop them from their evil plan?
Can a selfish man find a heart?
You bet. He just has to become a dog first.
