Regardless of the outcome, she'll fight to the end.
Together they fear the emotional, hunger for the physical. She doesn't trust him. He doesn't trust himself. It's one step forward, two steps back for the struggling Manhattan couple in this steamy romantic drama.

Tania Elizabeth Author of Fantasy
Fantasy by Author Tania Elizabeth
Like each and every one of us, Tania's journey has been one of trials and tribulations, of Love and of passions; and the dissolutions of it. Heartache, sorrows, smiles and laughter always seeming. Through the writing of her books and that of the divine, Tania has found a peace within and learnt the true meaning of "I LOVE ME!"
Though Tania writes of fantasy, she also writes of truth. The Tier of Eternal Grace being wound within enchantment and realism. Not only does Tania Elizabeth write to give people a fantastical and ethereal story to lose themselves within, but she also writes to inspire, and in the case of The Tier of Eternal Grace . . . to have all understand the truth of the fae. That they are no different to both you and I.
THE TIER OF ETERNAL GRACE
Come thee to a place of ethereal vision
Where magic and passion is bound
Come thee to a place of divine insight
Where love and venture be found
A fantasy wound within the truths of reality, brings forth an ardent depiction of a realm not our own.
Beyond the boundary that separates the mundane and earthly planes from the divine lies Eterna Fadas, a place ruled by extraordinary beings, lithe and human-like in appearance, yet ethereal in their grace and beauty, and sensuous in nature.
Within thy pages, truths shall be revealed and secrets will be held no more. Dance within their story of magic, mystic, heart and of hurt. Their beliefs of love and gratitude their endearing charm. Their connection with Mother Earth undeniable.

Checkmate by Jonathan Patrick
Checkmate
Jonathan Patrick
It’s a difficult time in America. Several years of attempted economic and social fixes have failed. Its major cities have reached a tipping point whereby any disaster, manmade or natural, would have devastating consequences. America is no longer seen by its friends or enemies as the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” Washington bureaucrats are involved in every decision and political correctness rules the day. The country that used to, only a few short years ago, project its military might outward to the world, has had its own military forces striped to the bone. No service has felt this impact more than the United States Navy. With only a fraction of combat vessels left to patrol the world’s oceans and keep peace in the world, decisions are no longer based on safety and National Security but by financial necessity. With most of its once mighty Navy staying in port, and the remainder stretched thinly across the globe, America’s enemies now have different words to describe America; weak…and very vulnerable.

jacob erin-cilberto Intersection Blues Poetry
Barnes & Noble
Water Forest Press Books
Water Forest Press Books
Intersection Blues
By jacob
erin-cilberto
With each successive collection of poems, it becomes
increasingly clear that we have a poetic genius in our midst. In this latest collection, jacob
erin-cilberto tests the limits of creativity, and the result is nothing short
of astounding, authentic, fresh poetry.
He gives us haiku, senryu, free
verse and acrostics all with equal expertise and skill.
In the title poem, he tells us he is “a poet stopped at a
red light”, but we come to realize, as
we read all the poems here, that he is merely at a crossroads of sorts, and
getting his bearings with keen observation, as he continues on his travels.
“The Composition of You” is a remarkably beautiful and
sentimental poem in which the speaker paints a vivid image of the object of his
affection for the reader, so we see the beauty through his eyes. One is reminded of Mona Lisa’s enigmatic
smile and gaze when the poet says:
i see under the layers
a posing of sadness
reaching the surface
in some code of suppressed memory
everything seems to
mean something else
Just as it is with DaVinci’s famous portrait, so it is with
erin-cilberto’s poem. With each reading,
we see another layer, another degree of complexity, and are drawn in by the
beauty of the words and we see it is a thing “to be held, to be appreciated”
and “not to be hung senselessly on a wall for show”.
The series of 5 poems,
“Run Ons – Splice” (1 through 5) is playful and imaginative, with the
poet creating meaning through structure.
They are like “pieces of [him] with no title”, so we don’t need
titles….we are allowed glimpses of his innermost feelings.
“anonymously unbecoming of e.e. cummings and not really
Creely” is one of the most unique and intriguing poems in the book. It is at once whimsical and reverent, paying
homage to all of the greats. The poet
claims he will:
“never go toe to toe
with Poe
nor match wits with
Whitman
keep the beat like
Keats
or write long and
mellow
like Longfellow”
As you read on, it becomes clear that the poet might be measuring
himself against the greats; yet, he does so much more than “skirt the rim of
some of them”. He proves that he is
worthy to be counted among them.
I marvel at his economy of words, and nowhere is it more
evident than in his “six-word poems”.
There is a saying that “brevity is the soul of wit”, and so it is
here. He says so much with so few words.
For example, “In Retrospect…a six word very short story” :
“I am, you are, we weren’t”
This simple phrase speaks volumes. It defines why relationships don’t work and I
would imagine that there aren’t many readers who cannot relate to this in some
way.
Yet another example of his concise use of language can be
found in “Fancy Meeting You Here” :
“…because fate
accidentally
intervenes
on purpose”
There is such basic truth in this paradox. It eloquently reminds us of the idea that
sometimes, people coming into our lives seems to be nothing short of
serendipitous.
But my favorite poem has to be “Neglected Returns”. I’ve read a lot of jacob’s poetry, and I
never cease to be amazed at this incredibly gifted poet. He would balk at being called a poetic
genius, preferring to see himself as a mere “conduit” of the words.
“again
never happens before
first times
and the last chance to
get it right
is the first time we
get it wrong”
This poet uses such simple and elegant words to convey such
complexity of thought. His poetry is as
humble as he is. This is pure
jacob. How fortunate for us that he has
stopped at this “intersection” to pause and share his gift with us.

Darlene by David Russell
Darlene
by
David Russell
Contemporary Romance & Literary Erotica
Darlene was Released on July 15, 2013
The hero, Percival arranges a date through a contact mag.
He and Darlene have a rapturous scenario, handled with superb finesse and
supreme command of the wardrobe. He finds some hints of her complicated past.
Before and after the encounter, he is eyed up and accosted by malicious-seeming
men. The sense of an underlying hornet’s
nest is scary, and immediately detracts from the euphoria, which does
finally prevail.
Excerpt
I envisaged Darlene
dressing before her mirror, adoring her own image, caressing her thighs as she
drew up her stockings, loving her own image in the mirror, savouring her own
fully charged magnetism. I imagined delicious dressing in preparation for
delicious undressing – perhaps some feeling in her bones that I might be
someone out of the ordinary, or even an additional bonus of doing it with
another woman before my eyes.
I, in turn, practiced
disrobing in front of my mirror, in subdued light, capturing all the alluring
angles, savouring myself under the dream spell of her implicit eyes. I sensed
the bleeps of telepathy in operation between us—laser-beamed gazes and breaths
of rapture.
I spiced my sensations
with my favourite videos. Katy Perry’s Thinking of You and Teenage
Dream came to the fore, those graceful balletic of revelation, pulling
on the stockings, pulling off the jeans, my hands all over that lithe, tanned
form. I washed, ironed, and immersed myself into putting on and taking off all
the items in my wardrobe. I even had some limbering up chats
on the phone – some alluring voices there, even more magical for their
anonymity and their covert location. Those blind rehearsals
sharpened the visual and tactile imagination. Some aspects suit complete
darkness, others suit subdued light. Maybe at some point, there will be a home
video, capturing idyllic trysts indoors and outdoors, two lovers willing
themselves into dream perfection…great art is often a substitute or reminder
for experience. How much more fulfilling when it is an accompaniment or a
backdrop.

He
had to get her out of there, but with all the drugs in her system, would she
even remember who he was?
Mercy
was lying on the bed. Even in the dim light, he could tell she was pale. Her
clothes were wrinkled and her shirt caked with what they forced her to eat. From
the looks of the room she fought hard. Damn, he needed to get her out before
the drugs took her from him.
“Mercy,
wake up. Come on, open your eyes.” Nothing. She didn’t move. Okay, she’s not going to like this. “You
need to wake up and take a shower, so let’s get both done at the same time.”
He
took the chair into the shower and turned it on then went back to the bed. He
picked up Mercy, and placed her under the fine mist of cold water. Just what
she needed. He held her in the chair as the water flowed over her head, soaking
her hair and drizzling down her shoulders. His back was pelted by the spray as
he knelt in front of her, but he didn’t care. He shook her shoulders, and she
stirred.
“Good,
Mercy. Come on, open your eyes.” He struggled to hold her slippery, wet body in
the chair. The T-shirt was soaked and her thin bra could not hide the effects
of the cold water. He clenched his jaw tight at the thought of never being able
to touch her, love her. She has to remember him, remember them. She struggled against
his hold as she started to wake. “I’m not letting you up until you open your
eyes. Come on, look at me.”
Her
eyes flew open. They were filled will fear and confusion as she frantically
searched the room. Then her head dropped and their eyes met and he knew.
Excerpt:
A

n explosion ricocheted behind Jason
Michael’s eyes as the pressure mounted in his head. The rush of panic consumed
him. He struggled to move, tried to swallow, but nothing. His throat burned as
the flames engulfed his lungs. He needed to breathe but couldn’t. Shit. He strained to make out the
muffled voice, but the pounding in his ears erased all hope. His head started
to spin and he succumbed to the realization, this was it, the end. He won. The flames dampened and his heartbeat
slowed as the drums subsided, then the voice became clear.
“Give it to him now you son of a
bitch. What were you thinking? We still need him.”
In a split second, Jason sucked in a
breath, causing stabbing pains to shoot through his chest. Every muscle fiber
burned as the cold blast of air shot through his lungs releasing the oxygen his
body craved. He arched his back, raising his chest up to pull in more air when
his head snapped to the side and the crack from his neck echoed in his ears.
The pain ripped through his jaw, racing across his cheekbone. Before he could
gather his senses, intense burning set his face on fire. What the hell?
The slap against his cheek stung, and
his eyes snapped open. He wrenched upright, hitting his head on the roof of the
SUV. His gaze darted back and forth looking for something familiar until he
locked onto the ice-cold stare of the devil himself, Shaun Flanagan.
Damn, that
was close. Jason could not blow his cover, even if it meant he would die as
David Logan and not Jason Michaels.
“You’re finally awake, my boy. We
almost lost you,” Shaun cold, emotionless laugh caused Jason’s blood to boil.
“You stopped breathing, I think. It’s hard to tell with this new stuff. I hope
you’re not too injured. We’ve got work to do.”
Jason’s vision blurred, but his other
senses were sharp. Shaun had known exactly what the drug would do and the burn
in Jason’s throat was a harsh reminder. Shaun’s sarcastic tone spoke volumes to
him. He was evil and did not play by anyone’s rules but his own. Jason had spent
the last two months undercover, playing their games and doing their dirty work
to buddy up tight to this family. He’d earned his spot with Thomas Flanagan,
but his son Shaun had issues trusting anyone, even his own father.
Jason’s anger burned inside of him,
but he couldn’t afford to make mistakes, not now. He was too close. It’s time
to step it up, but first the drugs had to stop. He rubbed his aching jaw with
one hand, clenching his other into a fist to hide his visible shaking. He had
to get control of this game before he lost everything.
