Before heading home for the summer, four college friends plan a weekend getaway in the wilds of Woodland Ire, a vast mountainous forest miles away from civilization. With full access to a plush cabin and a nearby lake - and their own stock of alcohol and weed - the next few days are sure to be a carefree carnal filled blast. But an unimaginable darkness lurks in these remote woods, and soon after it turns their weekend party into a terror filled nightmare. Dark secrets thought to be long buried are revealed... and even darker desires are awakened.

Ignore these pictures. Still with me? Jeremy Mac (J Mac)
is first and foremost a fantastic writer; he is also far more. He is
gracious, modest, funny, professional, and down-to-earth. Some
people also think that he is a heart throb. He laughs off such ideas!
Jeremy was kind enough to meet my challenge as I link his story to
far bigger thoughts. We (humans, authors) are labeled as
handsome/beautiful OR smart and talented. It’s all through the
media and everywhere on television that no one wishes to have
just ONE label and yet, we all still use them. I think we can prove
that some people are all things.
J Mac may be an Arkansas Heart Throb to his readers/fans,
but may I suggest strongly that more readers grab his works and see
for themselves just how talented this writer is? I hope I got your
attention with the fun photos to begin with, and I hope J Mac carries
that attention and proves that he (and we all) can be attractive AND
smart AND talented AND professional. J Mac is the real deal.

First of all, Roy C Booth is a machine. He writes with other authors and his lovely wife , Cynthia, and seems to cross genres, write plays, novels, short stories, and pumps out tons of great writing! Instead of getting way behind on reading, get started with any of his excellent works; I guarantee any reader will find his style, stories, professional writing, and characters stunning.

Steampunk Victorian England is brought to life in this rousing tale of murder and intrigue featuring literature’s greatest detective: Sherlock Holmes. In an era of boilers and coal, inventor Samuel Brown finds himself persecuted for daring to apply his genius to the development of a kerosene powered internal combustion engine. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are tasked with uncovering the source of the conspiracy, and quickly find themselves in the web of a mysterious network capable of applying pressure at every turn. Among the henchmen in their opposition are several characters from England’s history with infamy to match the great sleuth’s acclaim. Not all is as it seems, but this Sherlock is equipped with brass enhancements, and has no qualms against fighting fire with scalding vapor and a rapier-quick mind. Excitement and adventure abound as Sherlock Holmes enters the world of Steampunk and finds the setting quite compatible with his unique and varied talents.

Before we begin, let me tell you it is illegal to be overweight. Still with me? Good, now not only is it illegal to be overweight, but now all fast and junk food has been outlawed. If you are between the ages of eight and twenty-nine, and not following the law, you will be sent to a government run weight-loss camp. Trust me, this is not a camp you want to go to.
True story here. Years ago, I was a bit anti-vampire even if I had a few of my own. Amanda M Lyons started my recovery but in the meantime, I was looking around at random, just seeing who was writing what, and I somehow found William Bove's writing. At once I was stunned by his style and his liquid prose and characters. I found that he was unpublished and asked him if he were interested in a contract because I just knew that every reader should become as addicted to his work as I was. Give this a try and demand the follow-ups, like I have!

Against the backdrop of the Great Depression , a group of young vampires move through the nights. Barns and shacks decorated in corpses are the only landmarks to their presence. Within the group a quiet rebellion grows and with it the means to tear them apart. Blood and death always carry with it a truth.

When Jim Goforth mentioned writing for Triggered, I thought it would be pretty simple since I have accused of triggering people (and ruining coffee, popcorn, and gumbo for people). I had also survived Dani Brown's trigger-causing story about toenails! Yet, when my story was done and turned in, it was subtle but triggered some very unpleasant feelings within me that almost became true fear. i told Jim to edit as he pleased and do as he wanted but that I never wanted to read my own story again because of (not what was written per se) but what was going on in my head as I wrote the story and the unsaid parts. No clue what he edited because I never read it again but he did accept it and chuckled at me. If a reader wants to be unnerved and , yes, triggered, give this a read. Whether or not my story causes any pain, I have no idea, but I suspect that the other stories are far more deadly. Enjoy!

A hellish storm forces an unwitting group of travelers to seek shelter from the road. After nearly giving them up for lost, each finds himself in front of the eerie pub called the Rack and Cue. The pub's owner, Porky, welcomes them in with tasty beer, delicious homemade meat pies, and the promise of food entertainment - a pool tournament. It's a winner-take-all competition with a hefty cash prize. However, as each round wraps up, and each loser in turn mysteriously disappears down to the cellar, some of the guests become suspicious. One pair of truck drivers, Rigs and Iain, determine that their only hope is fighting their way out.

Catt gets personal


There are several authors who I was always a huge fan of and later got to meet and all were very inspiring and friendly people. There are a handful who I read and was a fan of and then met and who later became friends of or very very close buddies of.  David Owain Hughs is one I do not know well (yet) but I am a fan by far and have been a while so I was thrilled when JEA began carrying some of his stuff!  DA Roberts is one whom I have a great story with. I was a huge fan of his and when he began to speak with me, I had to try to hide my shyness because he was a hero-writer of mine: he is that amazing and I love his books. For years, he and I have been working on a book called Cold Hunger that will be out soon and he is the only author I have ever worked with as a co-writer. I still feel humbled. Fast forward. The book will be out soon, as said, but DA (Doug) is now with JEA and carries an amazing imprint dedicated to books with characters who are cops, military, detectives, etc.  He and his darling wife are considered to be family friends now and we hope they might even move very close (fingers crossed).  in a few years, I went from fan to friend and Annette is like a long-lost sister in my heart.  TL Decay  (Trevor Smith) and his family are like...well, family and I was a fan before I knew him. The night he spoke to me and was friendly, I got glassy-eyed and felt such pride that HE would consider me worthy to talk to.  My message here is 2-fold. Authors, take a chance on a little guy who worships your talent and let us be your friend.  Readers, talk to us who are writers, as just people and give us a chance to befriend you! Writing can build deep friendships.
*** I could list a ton more but suffice to say all JEA staff and friends and many more have become close friends because I first picked up a pen. Love to 2 special friends: Amanda and Kitty.

Tonight they will flee the lab. Flee to take revenge on the humans who thought it was best to cage them. Tonight, the town of Aaronsville will awaken once again with the scurrying rodents. But this time the outcome will be different.

A string of bizarre murders across New Cyber City: For Earth Corps agent Charlotte McCain that should have been just another day at the office. But this case felt different. It wasn't just people inexplicably exploding; Weird was her business. This one was hitting nerves she'd worked hard to numb. That irritated her almost as much as partnering up with brilliant but troubled agent Tom Murdoch to solve the mystery, before more victims went up in flames.

Meanwhile, a rogue android with a dark history took to the stage, delighting audiences, who never guessed the terrifying Mission he pursued, in the shadows beyond the spotlight...

Also included: BLANK CHECK, a Cyberpunk novelette which follows eccentric genius John Rutledge on a tropical adventure he never asked for.

Dani Brown

I have read a lot of horror but few authors make me cringe and want to throw a book and then read more! I suggest Dani as the author to read.
Suitably labelled "The Queen of Filth", extremist author Dani Brown's style of dark and twisted writing and deeply disturbing stories has amassed a worrying sized cult following featuring horrifying tales such as "56 Seconds", "Night of the Penguins" and the hugely popular "Ketamine Addicted Pandas". Merging eroticism with horror, torture and other areas that most authors wouldn't dare, each of Dani's titles will crawl under your skin, burrow inside you, and make you question why you are coming back for more.

Not only is Dani a fantastic author, she is also very approachable to her fans. Give her a read and review and let her know that she scared the "filth" out of you.

Robert Deluiz is a 19-year-old student at San Diego community college who, like many his age, enjoy spending hours engrossed in the world of online video games. In the course of these games, he has met many people from around the world, but only for the few fleeting moments of shared gameplay. That is until Robert joins one particular room in his favorite game. In there, he develops strong bonds with a group of local players.

In a very short period of time, the bond grows both on-line and out in the real world, but Robert quickly learns not everyone, or anyone, is whom they seem. He is soon trapped with his friends by one of their own and forced to participate in a series of games. In these games, the stakes are higher than just points and reputation. They are life and death.

David Clark is an author who focuses on the suspense, horror, and sci-fi genre. His writing style takes a story based on reality, develops characters the reader can connect with and pull for, and then sending the reader on a roller-coaster journey the best fortune teller cannot predict. He feels his job is done if the reader either gasps, makes a verbal reaction out loud, throws the book across the room, or hopefully all three.
