Angel, Interupted is Reginald Shepherd's second poetry collection. The poems are lyrical, streetwise and contemporary, yet timeless, classically referential, and introspective.

Some cases are as cold as the grave... A lost soul in limbo, Kevin Fahey is trying to prove he's a better ghost than he ever was a man. And trying to help Maggie Gunn, the detective who replaced him, is a good way to start.

"There is a hard and lucid quality in Shepherd's work. The words seem to be burned into the page with lasers, so precise and sharp-edged are they". Booklist

Welcome back to the brash, brutal new world of the twenty-fifth century: where global politics isn’t just for planet Earth anymore; and where death is just a break in the action, thanks to the techno-miracle that can preserve human consciousness and download it into one new body after another. Cynical, quick-on-the-trigger Takeshi Kovacs, the ex-U.N. envoy turned private eye, has changed careers, and bodies, once more . . . trading sleuthing for soldiering as a warrior-for-hire, and helping a far-flung planet’s government put down a bloody revolution. But when it comes to taking sides, the only one Kovacs is ever really on is his own. So when a rogue pilot and a sleazy corporate fat cat offer him a lucrative role in a treacherous treasure hunt, he’s only too happy to go AWOL with a band of resurrected soldiers of fortune. All that stands between them and the ancient alien spacecraft they mean to salvage are a massacred city bathed in deadly radiation, unleashed nanotechnolgy with a million ways to kill, and whatever surprises the highly advanced Martian race may have in store. But armed with his genetically engineered instincts, and his trusty twin Kalashnikovs, Takeshi is ready to take on anything—and let the devil take whoever’s left behind.

1 Not for the faint of heart! Jump on for a wild and nonstop ride with Angel and his team of warriors as they grapple with the impossibility of survival on a ravaged planet. The result of a bionuclear Armageddon, the earth is forever ruined. A world where the weak long for death, the mighty dispense it. A world where the earth itself rebels to exterminate the parasite that is humanity. A world where those unfortunate enough to survive find themselves in a barren, toxic nightmare where death comes in grotesque form and living has lost all appeal. Angel Martin, the herculean warrior known as the Angel of Death for his exceptional body count during WWIII, invites you to become a spectator in a ringside seat where you will delight in all the action up close and personal. Watch out because when this madman goes on a rampage, blood, brains, and body parts explode! Together with his team of commandos, they must combat massive mutated monsters and demons from another dimension amid the collapse of a decaying civilization. The masses are dying, as well as those of Angel's family, from a mysterious disease brought on by the corrosive fulmination. However, when a beautiful escapee is rescued from an abusive military contingent, she reveals that her captured father is a bionuclear engineer who may hold a cure. In order to find and free the scientist, the team must negotiate with undesirables in barter towns, decimate well-equipped sex traffickers, battle mercenary militias, and clash with heavily armed slave barons. In order to accomplish this mission, Angel leads his teammates through a malicious environment rife with giant monstrosities, ghoul-infested cities, and nuclear wasteland in order to battle rogue military forces, cutthroats, and sinister organizations. They must infiltrate the ranks of warring factions and survivalist coalitions while constantly seeking arms and bartering for provisions vital to continuing their quest.

In One Years Time, by Melissa Robitille, begins with Elizabeths death. But no ordinary death this! Elizabeth, she is told by her flamboyant guardian angel Dickon, is to be given a second chance at life, but in 1808! How is a modern girl to manage that, never mind the condition of her second chance? She has to find someone who needs her within just one year. By her introduction to her grandfather, Elizabeth might be off to a good start, but nothing ever goes quite that smoothly for Elizabeth. She meets, and falls in love with, a most independent and stubborn man. Duncan Blackstone is a fine figure of a man, indeed, but has the stubborn nature of a mule to go along with his handsome face. Both Elizabeth and Duncan must first deal with their own hearts and issues before they can admit that they need each other. Elizabeth, after an unspeakable childhood, has problems believing even that Duncan loves her. She doesnt like herself, and doesnt see any particular reason for anyone else to do so. Duncan has his wifes death on his conscience, and quite honestly feels like somewhat of a dirty old man for falling in love with such a young girl. Beyond that, as any man will, he has quite convinced himself that he doesnt need anyone now, nor will he ever. These central figures have help from all sides. Dickon, Elizabeths guardian angel, is waiting for his own second chance with Millicent - Duncans guardian angel. The pair of angels will do all in their power - and even cheat once in a while! - to ensure that Duncan and Elizabeth reach the point of needing each other, but will it be enough? Ian, Elizabeths grandfather is a lonely man, overjoyed to have family again, but even he falls in love - with the dressmaker! Sofie, a widow, is quite set in her belief that Duncan and Elizabeth should be a pair, and that very match making tendency throws her into cahoots with Ian, and love soon ensues. A cast of memorable characters toss Duncan and Elizabeth together, but their own insecurities pull them apart again and again. It seems like nothing can help this pair.
