A gripping tale of what happens, when two souls collide and their worlds
explode...

On occasion, if fate would have it, our paths cross with someone with whom we
connect on a plane much higher than that of the average acquaintance. Something
familiar and all-knowing sparks between the souls, as if reconnecting with the lost
part of ourselves that completes us and makes us whole. The power of persuasion
in conjunction with this force can be very provocative and somewhat destructive, as
there is no rhyme or reason, only the truth of the feelings it provokes within us.

Shelby Tyler recently encountered just such a force and was completely ill-prepared
for the devastating affects it would have on her life. From the moment Dalton
Morrison entered her world, she felt a completeness of mind, body and spirit that
she didn't know was possible; as if the missing piece to her own puzzle had been
found and carefully snapped into place.

You won't believe what one man will do to keep the woman he loves..

There's always been something about Brie Donovan that words couldn't describe. It's
not just her physical beauty or her intelligence, but something within her that grabs
hold and captivates those who are able to get close to her.

Brie is young, promiscuous and full of life, and like many young women, she's made a
few bad judgment calls when it comes to the opposite sex; and having her heart
broken again is not on her agenda.

She likes being in the company of men and she isn't ashamed of it. She's a firm
believer that affairs of the heart and sexual liaisons are two completely different
things and as long as emotions aren't involved then she's safe from harm.

It's not until she gets mixed up with Billy Gage, who mistakes their sexual antics for
love, that she learns there are consequences to her actions. Even though her own
heart may not be involved, when it comes to toying with people's emotions, the game
can be deadly!

"As far as paranormal thrillers go, this [MACUMBA] is way better than most."
-Writer's Digest

MACUMBA is an award-winning paranormal thriller beyond the scope of the current
market of paranormal thrillers. It is a story about overcoming personal obstacles,
finding love, deceit and the ultimate truth. Set in New Orleans, a young woman, Jade
Devlin, must face her inner demons and come to terms with her self-destructive
behavior, in order to continue the journey of discovering the truth about her past.

A strong male antagonist, Benito Marcellus, enters her life and introduces her to a
world she never knew existed, but he has a dark secret he can share with no one;
especially the woman who not only shares his appetite for carnal pleasures, but his
passion for power and determination to achieve it at whatever cost.

In exchange for her help in attaining his goal, Benito promises to reveal all the
answers to Jade's questions, but in order to find that truth, she must travel to a
place where the spirits dwell and all the answers can be found...if one dares to seek
them. Jade has nothing to lose and everything to gain, so she faces the fear in her
heart and in doing so, discovers the true evil in Benito's soul, as she dives headlong
into the ancient Brazilian religion known as MACUMBA.

Barbara Williamson-Wood, Writer/Novelist
"Shadows of my Soul, is one book that you will be compelled to read over and
over. Each poem is masterfully written, capturing the heart and raw emotions
of the writer. Rarely today does one find poetry crafted with such depth and
honesty. Vividly written, each poem comes alive causing the reader to become
a participant where they can feel their own emotions awaken. Such talent
deserves to be showcased for years to come. I look forward to reading more
of her great work. Shadows of my Soul will become a literary treasure for
years to come."

Patrick Talty - Author
"You certainly have the gift of being able to craft a poem which, in a minimum
of words, conveys a maximum of feeling. The ability to generate in the reader
emotions similar to those that you felt while writing the poem distinguishes
the end result from mere cut-up prose. You are indeed a true poet."

-The Best Reviews
PREMONITION is a terrific sequel that keeps the foreboding of a pending tragedy
at extremely high levels of suspense. The story line never slows down for a
moment as the key "good guys" struggle with a wickedness that will chill readers
to the bone. Fans of paranormal suspense and horror thrillers will want to read
this book; this reviewer has a premonition that once you do, DESTINATION will
follow.

-The Best Reviews
Fine Paranormal Thriller...
"Though there is a romantic subplot and a murder mystery, DESTINATION UNKNOWN is
a combination relationship drama inside a supernatural thriller. The story line works
because Hannah and the secondary players, mostly her high school friends, enemies
and her beloved physician, seem so genuine in their interactions over the course of the
book with the heroine. That in turn enables the killer to be more than a caricature, the
paranormal to feel real, and the reader to finish this suspense tale in one sitting."

-Nina M. Osier, Author
Highly Recommended...
"You can't go home again,"another American novelist warned his readers. Hannah
Wilcox, heroine of J.A. Terry's debut novel of romantic suspense, proves that truism
wrong; J.A. Terry has a wonderful sense of what women's friendships mean to those
lucky enough to share them, and of the duality of good and evil in the soul of every
human being. Her cliffhanger chapter endings kept me reading far into the night, but the
best thing about this tale is the realistic way its characters (male and female alike) grow
and change - both for better, and for worse - in response to the challenges they face."
