Out of 100 teenage pregnancies, 20 are planned.

As a former teen parent, Elizabeth believes that hiding the secret of her pregnancy being intentional will only encourage this matter. By writing her shocking and controversial memoir, Elizabeth hopes to encourage other former teen parents to also break their silence in an effort to re-evaluate the statics.

“To this day, my own family still does not know the full truth. I am coming clean that my pregnancy, at age fifteen, was not an accident. They are completely unaware of what was going on in my fourteen-year-old mind. This baby simulator put ideas into my head that caring for a baby would be as simple as turning a key… I eventually was looking forward to carrying the baby around with me and pretending that I was a mommy. I was now excited for this assignment. I wanted to practice, and I wanted my doll to be real.”

Surviving the loss of her daughters to adoption, Elizabeth reflects on her actions that led up to the battle in court that she never imagined she would face. She thoroughly examines her thoughts and actions as a teen, which caused her to believe that substance abuse, domestic violence, and living a completely dysfunctional lifestyle, was all she would ever be worth.

After battling with the “system” to regain control of her life and her family, it was just too late. There were no second chances, which led to a complete surrender, and giving up on all that ever mattered to her.

The phone rings in the California home of businessman Nate Michaels before the sun is up on October 24, 1962. An hour later he’s on an Air Force jet to Washington.

In both the Pentagon and the Kremlin, pro-war generals want a showdown, not a humiliating compromise.

As the world races toward nuclear holocaust during a fine and dangerous autumn, Michaels finds himself spinning in a maelstrom of statecraft, espionage, love, and betrayal.

More than sixty years later, former Army combat engineer Tyler Locke rescues Fay from gunmen who are after a piece of wreckage she claims is from the Roswell incident. Incredulous of her tale, Tyler believes the attack on Fay is nothing more than a burglary gone wrong. But when he finds himself locked in the back of a truck carrying a hundred tons of explosives and heading for a top secret American base, Tyler knows that he has stumbled onto the opening gambit of something more sinister than he ever imagined.

Because disgraced Russian spy Vladimir Colchev is after an Air Force prototype code-named Killswitch, an electromagnetic pulse weapon of unprecedented power. Although Tyler is able to avert catastrophe at the US facility, Colchev gets away with the bomb and plans to turn it on America itself.

In a desperate race against time, Tyler must unmask a conspiracy a century in the making to rescue the United States from electronic Armageddon.

Gavin MacKinnon has wandered the grounds of Dunmore Castle in the Scottish Highlands for two centuries waiting for the only woman who can help make his miracle come true. One glance at Julia Fairfield and he knows she is the one. Now he must convince the reluctant lady to trust him if he has a chance to save his son.

He came to her out of the swirling mist on the cliff’s edge, a ghostly figure who seemed larger than life. Dark, handsome, blatantly male, Gavin MacKinnon radiated the kind of confidence that led men into battle and women into reckless choices. A quiet English professor with the responsibility of her young niece, Julia resisted his every attempt to persuade her into the most reckless adventure of all, until she realized no one should deny the chance for a miracle.

Swept back to 1816 Scotland, Julia tumbles straight into the arms of the flesh and blood incarnation of Gavin MacKinnon, Earl of Dunmore. Her memory scrambled, her identity in question, she feels as though she is wandering through the pages of an Austen novel, complete with a Scottish version of her favorite literary hero, a man she cannot resist. Together they must fit together the pieces of a puzzle that originally led to murder if they have a chance to change fate. Drawn to each other, they discover their destinies are intertwined in ways they had never imagined.

On the utopian world called the Provider, the Deagron Maker waits for destiny.

10,000 years ago, the deagrons reigned supreme. If left unchecked, the alien creatures’ insatiable hunger for the life giving Source was certain to obliterate the Provider. Forced to the brink of extinction, man discovered the power to shift the Source, spawning the first race, known then and now, as Guardians. Emergence of the Guardians turned the tide in the fight for survival, vanquishing the Deagron Maker and its spawn, ending thousands of years of unabated carnage. Or so it is believed, for it is recorded in the Deeds.

In the 6,000 years that followed, Citizens attained enlightenment, reincarnating as one of the four races- Guardian, Shifter, Healer or Mystic- and living the Certain Way as decreed by their beloved deity and planet: the Provider. As a present day Guardian, Steffor’s role in society remains that of protector, defending Citizens from, while mundane in comparison to the deagrons, the inherent dangers associated with life in perpetual wilderness, coexisting with a myriad of lethal predators. When not serving as a resident hero, Steffor spends his time training for the Dive. Having finally qualified for this year’s championship, manifesting his future fame is close at hand. That is, if it were not for the events, long in the coming, manifesting a different future for Steffor and his peaceful society. A future in direct lockstep with destiny.

On Antium, a world ruled by the ancient and merciless Church of Salvation, humankind has all but lost the will to grow, to dream, to aspire for a transcendent existence. Armed with the motive, the technology and the capital means, Stalling Alterian and his cadre of gifted conspirators lead a fertile insurrection against the global theocracy. Committed to saving their society, or die trying, the crucial and final phase of their clandestine mission only moments away from completion, Stalling discovers a fatal error in his calculations that threatens to destroy it all. Absent of any solution and the enemy rapidly closing in, can Stalling impose his technological miracle onto humanity before the noose pulls tight?

Stalling and Steffor inhabit different worlds, yet they are connected. Together, but unbeknownst to one of them, they race towards an inevitable, if unimaginable collision.

A beautiful bride is missing, the night before her destination wedding in the magnificent Cayman Islands. The groom, the last one to see her alive during their scuba diving outing, is the prime suspect.

But the groom’s family insists he is innocent, and they hire Cindy and Mattheus to find out the truth. Cindy understands the pain of an ocean accident all too well, and the case strikes uncomfortably close to home, evoking memories of Clint at every turn.

Police and Coast Guard search the sea and land, but the bride, Allie is nowhere to be found. Family, wedding party and guests have all been detained at their luxury hotel to be questioned. Was it an accident? Did the bride run away? Or has someone killed her? Who could have wanted her dead?

As Cindy and Mattheus investigate and interview those at the celebration, we journey into the incredible wealth and opulence of the Islands and the lifestyle of those who have come down to celebrate the wedding and vacation there.

We also meet Mac, a charismatic, suave partner in the firm who develops an attachment to Cindy, and Vivien, a gorgeous guest, who no man can resist. As Vivien goes after Mattheus, and Mac pursues Cindy, we watch Cindy and Mattheus’s relationship struggle and become infected by jealousy and suspicion as well.

A thirsty soul. Alluring hope. An Oasis of love.

Step into a day when outlaws ran free, the land was wild, and guns blazed at the drop of a hat.

You might think the devil is easy to recognize.

That is wrong. Evil comes in all shapes and sizes.

Thomas and Joey have known a great deal of trouble in their lives. Through it all, they have been able to count on each another. But everything starts to change when they meet Louis Stoaffer.

The strange old man spins an engaging tale of betrayal and downfall. For assisting Stoaffer in getting his revenge upon a scheming wife and a treacherous business partner, Thomas and Joey will be rewarded with the means of making their dreams come true. However, as the trio travels south to carry out Stoaffer’s plan, the promised slice of heaven goes south as well.

Nothing is as simple as it first appeared. Dreams become nightmares. Demons both within and without must be confronted.

The final question is how far Thomas will go in order to save himself.

“I was physically and mentally braced for whatever death brings. Then I began to think rationally, and gained control of the thought process. If he intended to kill me, would he do it in a public place?”

The reader is taken inside a federal agent’s undercover world, and witnesses a life-and-death race against time to prevent a contract killing. His mission is to hunt down a paid assassin – only to find that he himself is hired as the killer. He encounters the New Orleans mafia, cop killers, bank robbers, gamblers, race fixers, and eventually, Interpol. He struggles to maintain his own moral compass; and at one point prays silently as a killer presses a sawed-off shotgun to his head. The story exposes the underworld of the Cajun French.

The characters and events are based on an extraordinary, hard-hitting, true crime story.

Aelissm Davis figured she would eventually return home to Northstar, Montana, but not like this–out of options, chased to the secluded valley by an obsessive former friend and troubled by memories of her dead fiancé. When a call from her stalker makes it clear he wasn’t deterred, Aelissm asks her overprotective uncle for advice. His decision to send Patrick O’Neil to keep her safe might become an even bigger problem. Pat is a haunted man with a kind smile and sad eyes. Aelissm knows he will leave, but there is something irresistible about him. He could be the best thing to ever happen to her… if she can convince him to stay.
