A collection of writings from over the years about life, love and spiritual growth.

Equal parts steamy and funny, with a few genuinely creepy moments, this paranormal romance has everything -- compelling characters, plenty of witty banter, and a romance that just might be to die for. After losing both her parents before age 17, aspiring designer Caitlin Holte feels like her whole world has been turned upside down, and that was before she accidentally attracted the attention of a demon. Then, she learns that her hot, bad-boy neighbor, Adrian -- who might have just saved her life -- is actually a half-demon vampire. Suddenly, Caitlin is stuck with a vampire bodyguard who feels that the best way to protect her is to become her pretend boyfriend. Trouble is, Caitlin is starting to fall in love for real, while Adrian can never love a human. Caitlin trusts Adrian to keep her safe from his demon father, but will he be able to protect her heart?

The Moods of Presque Isle is a book of photography, poetry, and prose which provides a visual treat for your mind and eyes. The poetry and photography blend to produce reflections and emotions within the reader. The setting is an eight mile long sand peninsula jutting out into Lake Erie. Formed over the last thousand years and constantly moving with Lake Erie currents, it is the most visited state park in the Pennsylvania system of parks. It is a haven for natural beauty, birds, animals and rare plants. Presque Isle seems to be one of the places on earth that God paused to create something special. A place where man could stop and reflect on what is right about the world. A place to pause for a moment to drink in the beauty that nature has to offer. It is an enchanting place where colors seem brighter, air softer and where time moves slowly. Presque Isle is one of those places calm enough for you to get quiet inside yourself. A place where solitude and reflection are greater gifts than sun and sand. The subjects of the poems and prose in the book are varied. They run from colors of fall to the tiny kingdom found on the forest floor; from water lilies to the horrors of 9/11; from an approaching storm to a lovers hand and hand walk on the beach. Season, colors, moods, and dreams fill the pages of this book of reflections and life experiences. As you read each poem, you will be able to slow down, take a minute to reflect on the complementary photographs accompanying the words. The theme of the book is the beauty, quiet, and solitude offered by nature. The author believes that if you love nature, nature will open up a whole new world for your enjoyment. The book is an attempt to paint words and photography as one and create a “Mood” with nature for the reader.

In the unbound spirit of Stephen King's The Green Mile, horror master David C. Cassidy takes you on an extraordinary journey into the heart of the human soul, where one man's incredible story of courage and tragedy will lift you, shock you, stir you-and leave you begging for more. I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF EVIL. HIS NAME IS BRIKKER. A mysterious drifter, Kain Richards is the last of his kind-and a man on the run. Once a tortured prisoner and pawn in a deadly experiment, his freedom hangs in the balance against the relentless pursuit from an obsessed and brutal madman who will stop at nothing to possess him. So when Kain falls for a beautiful and sensible Iowa farmwoman, his very presence puts their lives in peril. A tragic accident forces his hand, and his astonishing secret-and godlike power-threatens not only his life and the woman he loves, but the fate of the entire world. Praise for Velvet Rain: "This story was at times so scary that I had to stop reading." "If you're one to have nightmares, this book will give you one." "Exceptional writing on a par with Stephen King." "Reveals the evils of humanity ... the demons hidden under human flesh."

It is 1241 AD, and the Mongols have just invaded Europe, effecting a giant collision of cultures. Hungarian King Bela has already declared a state of emergency, Mongolian troops have killed nearly three hundred thousand people in Moscow, and now everyone fears the troops are headed for Poland. As King Boleslav and his son, Prince Alexander, anxiously await the Mongols' next move, they have no idea that a team of cavalry scouts has already made the decision to assassinate the Great Khan of Mongolia. Now all the scouts must do is capture the one person who can help them execute their plan. Tianyin has been assigned to find a girl with one blue eye and one brown eye, possessing a dagger carved with the Great Khan's name-and he must do so before the army seizes Krakow. Angela Cherreh, however, has grown up in Poland without any clue that she is the Mongolian princess they are seeking. And now she stands at the stake, preparing to be burned alive because everyone believes she is a witch. In this historical tale, an assassin and a princess discover that sometimes things do not turn out as expected, especially in an uncertain and dangerous world."

After being betrayed and abandoned during a mission, two black ops team survivors join forces with an arms expert to uncover a conspiracy involving the NSA, a cabal of mystics, and a warmonger.

Thoughts on our life together, including Patricia Bow's poetry, and excerpts from her writings and her diaries. Patricia and I were lucky enough to discover that quiet, intense love that is basic to life itself; this tells of that love and our 48 year marriage. And it is about how this love continues after her death. I am now aware of my wife Patricia's presence touching my mind and soul for a couple of weeks now. It is as if we are made whole again. Maybe we never separated. Pat is definitely in my soul almost as if we are sharing one mind. When I'm not using my mind fully (as when I first wake or when I'm falling asleep), I seem to see what Pat is seeing - what she is writing. It is so clear that often I can read it. Those who know Pat, know that writing was all she wanted to do; it was her compulsion. Her idea of Heaven would be a place where she could write without interruption. I feel she is happy now beyond measure writing in our place in Heaven.
