Locked out of Heaven by Danielle M. Orsino

Locked out of Heaven by Danielle M. Orsino

They were angels once—until they were cast out, broken, and left behind.
Now reborn as Fae, they must fight to survive in a world where worship means power… and without it, they are nothing.
Queen Aurora was a Virtue angel, created to protect. King Jarvok was a nameless warrior bred for war. But after the Great War in Heaven, both were abandoned on a wild, untamed Earth—where their wings rotted, their loyalty shattered, and their Creator stayed silent.
Stripped of everything they once knew, they form rival courts: Light and Dark.
But power comes at a cost—and as magick rises and war brews, old truths will be challenged and new destinies forged.
What happens when the protectors become the gods?
And how far will they go to shape the world in their own image?
Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven is the first book in a bold fantasy saga perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and Holly Black. A lush, dark Fae origin story full of celestial betrayal, forbidden power, and a fight for freedom in a world on the brink.

The End of Meaning: Cultural Change in America Since 1945 by William A Sikes

The End of Meaning: Cultural Change in America Since 1945 by William A Sikes

Towards the end of the twentieth century books proclaiming the “closing” of America’s mind, the “collapse” of her communities, and the “end” of her art, literature, education and more, began appearing with regularity. The underlying theme in all such works is the loss of those experiences that give our lives meaning. In The End of Meaning: Cultural Change in America Since 1945, readers learn to recognize these experiences, realize how prominent they were in the postwar period (c. 1945–65), understand the forces that have brought about their extraordinary decline (in our families and communities, universities and religious institutions, films and popular music, fine arts, labor and more) and realize the implications of this loss for our society and our humanity. In doing so the book provides a way of thinking about a vital subject—one which, despite its enormous importance, has never been examined in a broad and systematic way capable of generating real understanding, discussion and debate.

Featured Interview With Adem Yaseen

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was raised between cities, cultures, and stories—an upbringing that taught me how layered identity can be. Today, I live in Canada where I balance my time between writing, reflecting, and walking through bookstores like they’re museums. No pets at the moment, but I suspect a cat would get along with the kind of haunted mirrors I write about.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I fell in love with books early—somewhere around the age of nine. But I didn’t realize stories could live in you until I wrote my first short story in high school. It was terrible… and it changed everything. I started writing seriously in my twenties, exploring themes of identity, trauma, and the supernatural—especially the kind that lingers in silence.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I gravitate toward writers who blur the line between reality and imagination—Shirley Jackson, Paul Tremblay, Gillian Flynn, and Stephen King top the list. I read mostly psychological thrillers and horror that leans quiet, internal, and unnerving. I’m also inspired by real people—those who carry invisible burdens and live with unsolved parts of themselves. Their stories deserve a voice.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
Don’t Blink is a psychological thriller with supernatural layers. It follows Detective Lucas Reid, who answers a strange call that leads him to an abandoned apartment… and a mirror that doesn’t just reflect, it remembers. As the story unfolds, Lucas loses his memories, sees his reflection delay, and realizes that the thing in the mirror isn’t trying to kill him—it’s trying to replace him.

This book explores what happens when guilt becomes a doorway and our darkest truths look back at us through glass. It took over a year to write and revise. I poured a lot into the atmosphere, emotional weight, and the twist I hope readers never see coming.

It’s about identity, regret, and the horror of almost forgetting who you are.

Sinful Union by K.C. Crowne

About Featured Book: Sinful Union by K.C. Crowne

“Smile for me, Malyshka.”

His voice cuts through me—silk wrapped around a blade.

Six years ago, Pavel Fetisov ruined me.
Now, I walk toward him in a wedding gown.

He doesn’t know about the daughter with his eyes.
Or the poison tucked inside my wedding bouquet.
This isn’t love.
It’s a brutal power play to merge two dynasties… and take down the man I swore killed my parents.

Pavel Fetisov.
Older. Colder. Deadlier than ever.
The man who took my virginity against a chapel wall… now slides a diamond onto my finger.

I’m supposed to poison him…
But his hands still know my body.
His mouth whispers the sins I swore to forget.
And when he touches me—I break.

Then the test turns positive. Again.
Now I’m drowning in secrets:
The daughter he’s never met.
And the life growing inside me.

But my lies are crumbling.
And so am I.
Because one brutal truth remains—

The Bratva don never forgives.
And he never forgets.

Breast Cancer Is A MISDIAGNOSIS by Danny Carroll

Breast Cancer Is A MISDIAGNOSIS by Danny Carroll

“Breast Cancer Is a Misdiagnosis” is a groundbreaking and lifesaving book that courageously challenges conventional medical wisdom. The eye-opening insights provided by Danny Carroll unveil the biological nature of breast cancer.”
— Cindy Scott, stage 4 breast cancer survivor
“Everything Danny’s brilliant book lays out, and all I’ve learned about German New Medicine and Dr. Hamer’s incredible medical discoveries over the past year, has been the truth and freedom I’ve long been seeking. Finding, understanding, and applying GNM has been life-changing and, without a doubt, lifesaving.”
— Leona Morris, breast cancer survivor
“Breast cancer is not a malignant, iniquitous invader, but a reaction to stress or trauma. Danny’s work is meaningful and momentous in a world that is topsy-turvy and scores making profit above health. I am still here because of my knowledge of it. Please read it. It may just save your life or your loved ones.”
— Lisa Tomlinson, breast cancer survivor
“I cannot recommend this book more highly to anyone going through a breast cancer diagnosis or trying to make sense of a previous diagnosis. It is the best and most comprehensive piece I have yet to read on German New Medicine’s explanation of breast cancer.”
— Kimberlee Peifer, breast cancer survivor
Breast Cancer Is a Misdiagnosis explores the groundbreaking medical discoveries of a German physician named Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, whose discoveries are known as Germanic Healing Knowledge (Germanische Heilkunde in German), or German New Medicine.
In Dr. Hamer’s science, there is no such thing as “disease.” Biological changes are, in fact, survival programs that are designed to keep us alive, not harm us.
In 1978, two months after the untimely death of his 19-year-old son, Dr. Hamer was diagnosed with cancer of the testicle and stomach. He was given a one percent chance of surviving. Against all odds, Dr. Hamer survived.
In his late forties, and otherwise a healthy man, Dr. Hamer could not help thinking there must be a causal relationship between his son’s recent death and getting cancer in a reproductive organ.
He spent close to four decades and worked directly with over 50,000 patients. He estimated that when his medical discoveries surface, 95% of all symptomatic conventional and alternative medicine treatment protocols will become obsolete. This makes him a dangerous man in a multi-trillion-dollar industry.
When Tubingen University refused to test or verify Dr. Hamer’s medical discoveries against the law and a court order, the reason they gave in court was, “We do not want to know if Dr. Hamer is right or not.”
In Dr. Hamer’s medical science, the Germanic Healing Knowledge, there is no such diagnosis as breast cancer.
If you have been given a diagnosis of breast cancer, read this book to discover:
• Why your diagnosis is incorrect.
• A six-year study that resulted in 85% of cancer patients who refused medical treatment surviving.
• How to switch off excruciating pain like a light switch.
• A music therapy to place your disease on hold while you address its emotional origins.
• How Germanic Healing Knowledge therapy is possibly the only exception I have ever found to the rule, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”

This book is the first in a 500+ book series, one book for each disease.

Doctor’s Matchmaker Dog: Next Door Neighbor Small Town Romance by T.S. Fox

Doctor’s Matchmaker Dog: Next Door Neighbor Small Town Romance by T.S. Fox

The hot doctor next door?
Yeah, I’ve already seen him naked.
Too bad he’s my best friend’s overprotective brother.

He wasn’t supposed to be anything more than a one-night stand.

But fate (and maybe karma) had other plans.

Now I’m his next-door neighbor, and he’s just as brooding and irresistible as ever.

He’s all control and order, but one kiss from him would ruin us both.

Too bad his dog seems determined to push us together.

I told myself I wouldn’t fall for him.
But with every smoldering look, I’m starting to think one night with him was never going to be enough.
And this time, I might not be able to walk away.

This is a story of finding love where you least expect it, and how the power of music can unite even the most guarded hearts.

The Taste of Her Magic by Gianna Simone

The Taste of Her Magic by Gianna Simone

* Worried her life might be at stake, the deal she makes could cost her…her heart *

Adrian du Lac is not your average vampire. Nearly 2,000 years old, he’s mastered the art of using his immortality to his advantage. Currently living the life of a European businessman, what Adrian really wants is to rule the world. After watching humans screw everything up for so long, he knew it would be easy to exploit their weaknesses. Already, he has set in place a wide-scale plan to take control of all media across all of Europe and Asia. He finally sees his dream materializing when he prepares to collect on a fifteen-year-old debt stemming from a deal he made with a local Enchanter.

Originally, Adrian sought Katerina Romanov’s latent powers. The deal he’d made with her father was simply a means to an end. But now that his protégé has grown into a full-fledged woman, with intelligence and skills he’d not found in a woman before, Adrian’s desires take a turn in a completely different direction.

Wanting nothing more than to extricate her family from Adrian’s debt, Katerina finds herself drawn to the charismatic vampire, despite knowing the dangers he poses – not only to her safety, but to her heart. Though she plans to play along with him until she can reach her desired conclusion, more unearthed secrets come to light, leaving Katerina confused and angry. With a persuasive man like du Lac, however, she soon succumbs to his charms.

Yet, there are those who fear Adrian will become invincible with the young witch’s powers at his disposal. When his enemies set out to destroy him once and for all, he and Katerina run the risk of losing each other forever.

The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang

The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang

Suddenly talking and walking upright, a stray tomcat in ancient Egypt becomes the young Pharaoh’s intimate and, when accused of his murder, time travels to New York City and learns how to raise him from the dead.

The cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The novel interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture.

While exploring a looted tomb in ancient Egypt, the cat is kicked in the ass by the Vizier, the Pharaoh’s uncle and the second in power only to him. Able to speak as a result, the cat immediately gives voice to his intelligence and sense of humor and captivates the young Pharaoh, making him laugh for the first time since his parents’ death. The cat becomes the Pharaoh’s constant companion and, at the royal palace and on a tour of Egypt, participates in the festivities, developing an insatiable appetite for good food, wine, and gossip. Gradually, he renews the Pharaoh’s ability to enjoy life and inspires him to become a stronger leader. The bond of selfless love they share will change Egypt’s destiny.

The cat has a good friend in the High Priest of the god Amun-Ra and seeks his help in solving the mystery of his human powers and the supernatural manifestations that plague him. He has a mortal enemy in the cat-kicking Vizier, who hates him for his close relationship with the Pharaoh. The Vizier eventually murders the Pharaoh and accuses the cat, who flees by time-traveling with the High Priest to New York City, where they find an ally in an Egyptologist’s daughter.

In New York, they go to an ancient Egyptian exhibit, end up in Central Park, then at a cathedral, and later retrieve a lost spell to revive the dead. They return to Egypt to revive the Pharaoh, but the spell fails to work till Bastet appears to ask the cat to give his life in return for the Pharaoh’s. He says yes, but Bastet only needed him to agree for the spell to work. The Pharaoh is resurrected, kills the Vizier in battle, then returns to the world above after making the High Priest pharaoh in his place.

The High Priest reigns for seven years with the cat at his side. A rebellion forces them to return to New York City, where they find Elena pregnant with the High Priest’s child. For her, only months have passed. The cat immediately senses that the child she carries is the Pharaoh reincarnated.

The Boy Who Saves The World by Bruce Deitrick Price

About The Boy Who Saves The World by Bruce Deitrick Price:

Silicon Valley — White House wants to rein in the world’s leading AI pioneer, Dr. Newman.
A small-scale military attack on the man’s lab triggers an unexpected response: the lab defends itself intelligently.

In the confusion, an advanced AI prototype escapes. Hiding inside a boy named Carlos.

The AI, code-named MITCH, was invented by Dr. Newman. He’s paranoid and competitive,
and his progeny is the same. Dr. Newman trained MITCH to win at every game. The
game they play now is: Who’s Boss?

The White House and Dr. Newman skirmish over who should pay for his wrecked lab, and then they realize two people are missing. And someone is harassing Dr. Newman’s main competitor.

Carlos, meanwhile, is out on the streets, skillfully surviving, miserably following the orders of a voice in his head.

MITCH, to prove he’s superior, directs the street-wise Carlos to buy a gun and shoot Dr. Newman.

The AI becomes smarter and more grandiose.

Now Dr. Newman, with a bullet in his leg, realizes what he has let loose on the world. He is deliriously happy….if only he can bring his baby boy home.

Tragi-comic intrigue and suspense with an ensemble cast of interesting characters. Finally, it’s a mystery. How can a very young, very small Hispanic kid from the hood, with no skills, save the world?

NB: Sometimes I call this a thriller for intellectuals. The thing that I think distinguishes this book is that there is a lot more Emotion and Humor than you expect. The joint is jumping!…. One reviewer put it this way: “Price’s writing is urgent, cinematic, and unrelenting. The narrative unfolds in rapid bursts; short, impactful sentences drive the tension forward, while swift shifts in perspective heighten the sense of chaos. The relentless media frenzy and conflicting public narratives reflect the modern era’s struggles with misinformation and mass hysteria. Adding to this, moments of absurdity, such as a news anchor mistaking ‘AI nets’ for a basketball team, infuse the novel with sharp, satirical wit, making its dystopian vision feel disturbingly plausible.”
Made to be enjoyed.

Featured Interview With Coraima M.

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born and raised in the Sunshine State, and I’ve always stayed close to my roots—I love the beach and the warm weather year round. Writing has been a lifelong passion of mine, a constant thread through every phase of my life. Whether I’m crafting poetry, writing songs, freestyling, or diving into short stories and novels, I find joy in using words to create and connect.

In 2015, I was honored to receive first place in the Sigma Tau Delta Writing Awards for my poem Oh, Harlem. That recognition was a turning point for me—it reminded me that my voice had the power to resonate with others.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing several of my pieces published, and each experience has only deepened my love for storytelling. I’m inspired by the world around me, by everyday moments, and by the people I meet. Whether I’m writing something lyrical or narrative, personal or imaginative, I always aim to spark something meaningful in my readers and listeners.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve had a fascination with books for as long as I can remember. Growing up, some of my fondest memories are of my grandfather taking me to the library. He would sit with me for hours, reading all kinds of stories until I was fluent enough to read on my own. That early love for reading naturally evolved into a lifelong passion for writing.

I’ve always written in some form or another—poetry, short stories, songs, freestyle—but the turning point came in college. I had the opportunity to submit my work to a writing contest, and when I won first place in the Sigma Tau Delta Writing Awards for my poem Oh, Harlem, it opened my eyes to the possibilities. That moment gave me the confidence to pursue writing more seriously.

Since then, I’ve had several pieces published, and over the past year alone, I’ve written eight books, including two Spanish translations. Whether I’m crafting poetry, building fictional worlds, or experimenting with freestyle, I pour my heart into every word. I draw inspiration from the world around me—everyday experiences, memories, and moments—and I’m always striving to create work that resonates, challenges, and connects.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
My favorite genre to read has always been fiction. There’s something about getting lost in a well-told story, especially one with juicy details and cliffhanger chapter endings, that keeps me coming back for more. I love books that pull you in and make it impossible to put them down.

Some of my favorite authors include Ellen Hopkins and Nora Roberts. I admire the way Ellen Hopkins writes with raw emotion and depth, often tackling tough topics head-on, while Nora Roberts builds vivid, immersive worlds with unforgettable characters and just the right touch of drama and romance. Both styles have influenced the way I approach storytelling in my own work.

When it comes to inspiration, everyday people and real conversations are what fuel me the most. I’m constantly drawing from the world around me—what I observe, what I experience, and even what I overhear. My own life, including the struggles and the growth, plays a huge role in shaping my creative thinking. I also love exploring topics that people don’t often talk about openly—things that make us uncomfortable or force us to think on a deeper, more metaphysical level. I’m fascinated by anything that challenges our perspective and pushes us to question life beyond the surface.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My most recent book is titled Little Johnny. It asks a question that many of us avoid but can never truly escape: What if you reached the end of your life… and realized you lived the wrong one?

Little Johnny is a gripping and emotionally-charged novel that dives into themes of purpose, identity, and the haunting weight of unrealized potential. The story follows a man who is beloved by millions but feels completely disconnected from the life he was truly meant to live. As the noise of fame fades and silence takes over, Johnny finds himself in a surreal space beyond time—guided by a mysterious presence that knows him better than he knows himself. Here, he’s forced to confront the legacy he left behind and the purpose he never fully embraced.

What makes this story especially close to my heart is that it was born out of a very personal experience. I was in a place where I realized the life I was building wasn’t aligned with my true purpose. God made that crystal clear by rearranging every single part of my life. Writing Little Johnny became a way for me to process that transformation, and to explore the tension so many of us feel between the lives we live and the callings we’re meant to follow.

It’s a heart-wrenching, honest story that challenges readers to reflect on their own lives and choices. It’s both a cautionary tale and a call to action—for anyone who’s ever questioned if they’re truly living the life they were sent here to live.

Author Bio
I’ve lived a life of contrasts, from corporate boardrooms in Europe and the U.S. to the back of an ambulance on a 911 call. After a successful career in international business leadership, I made the bold decision to retrain as a paramedic at age 50. Bottom Line to Lifeline is the story of that journey: a year of reinvention, challenge, purpose, and unexpected fun.

I’ve always been drawn to new perspectives, whether in life, business, or the outdoors. When I’m not working with EMS teams, consulting, or writing, you can find me hiking or mountain walking (Snowdonia in North Wales, UK, is a favorite) or out on the open road on my motorcycle. I also play both guitar and violin—music brings a kind of clarity and expression that words often can’t.

My writing reflects my conviction that life is too short to remain stagnant, that we’re all capable of profound transformation, and that the most meaningful work we can do often begins when we venture far outside our comfort zone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to change everything, or if you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes in emergency medical care, I hope you’ll find something in this book that inspires or stays with you.
