Plague Unleashed (The Intern Diaries Book 2) by D.C. Gomez

The Intern Diaries Series continues by USA Today Best-selling author, DC Gomez

Released by Gomez Expeditions / The book is available worldwide in digital and print format

2021 First Place Winner for YA Fiction in the North Texas Book Festival

 

A disgruntled employee, sibling rivalry, and zombie attacks. Who said Texarkana was boring?

I swear, I didn’t do it.
It wasn’t me.
I did not start the zombie-apocalypse in Texarkana.
But I’m planning to find out who did it, before the whole city is taken over by those mindless souls.

Too bad the one person that might have the answer is the one being Constantine despises above all else, Death’s Sister, Pestilence. How can one person be so absolutely despicable? Why does she need ten interns all calling her Mistress? She is evil.

Pestilence swears she didn’t cause the Plague. I’m blaming her anyway. Now all I need is more time and less five-year-olds trying to eat their teachers’ faces. Scratch that, what I really need is a new job.


* Plague Unleashed is book two in the action-packed and humorous Urban Fantasy series The Intern Diaries. Isis Black has survived eight months as Death’s Intern. But not even all her training could prepared her for the madness of zombies running loose in Texarkana. How do you stop a group of brainless semi-zombies that you can’t kill? Isis better figure it out soon.

***This is a stand-alone novel, or it can be read in sequence.

What readers and critics are saying:

“The concept of Death and the interaction between life endings and soul capturing provides a stage for a cast of inimitable characters, both supernatural and strange natural, whose interactions provide one fine-tuned rollicking tale – the initial adventure of a series that now numbers six volumes! For those who love humorous paranormal fiction, this is a series to explore!” _ Grady Harp, Top 100 Amazon Reviewer

It isn’t very often that I buy the second book in a series before I’ve finished the first so that should tell you just how much I enjoyed this one. Grab yourself a copy and join Isis, Bartholomew, Bob and not forgetting Constantine in their unusual jobs._ Mike Powell, Amazon Reviewer

Abigail by Daemon Manx

A book that combines Science Fiction and Horror into a place of twists and turns unimaginable by critically acclaimed horror author, Daemon Manx!

The book is published by Last Waltz Publishing and is available worldwide in all formats

Abigail is the continuing Science Fiction – SciFi – Horror story about Adrian Billard, a Gay man whose life gets turned upside down.

“At the beginning of the third decade of the twenty-first century, being gay wasn’t supposed to be that big of a deal. It wasn’t supposed to be something you needed to hide in a closet, and it wasn’t supposed to be something that made you feel any less than the guy next door—certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Sadly, Adrian knew differently. He had experienced what it was like to grow up in the south in the “so-called” time of equality. He had known what it was like not to fit in. He had been called all those awful names, and he had felt the fists of acceptance. The horrible truth was that despite how progressive the world might have become, things caught on a whole lot slower in the south.”

Adrian has given up on the chance of ever finding true love, what with on-line dating and living in the bible belt, then he meets Dr. Mike. On what should be the happiest night of Adrian’s life, his world is turned upside down by a strange package left on his doorstep. A baby-like no other baby he has ever seen stares up at him from the tangle of pink blankets.
“A wide pair of violet eyes looked up at him. Silver flecks around the reptilian pupils flashed in the pale glow of the porch light. A hypnotic chimera washed over him as he fixed on the strange gaze. Suddenly, he felt weightless and out of the body; the sense that he was floating several feet above the ground was consuming. Adrian found himself face to face with the most peculiar vision. A small note accompanies the odd little girl.”

“Please take care of my daughter. Her name is Abigail.”
A wash of emotion overcomes Adrian as he looks into the eyes of the strange but perfectly beautiful child. He is overcome by a sense of belong, a feeling of contentment, and the overpowering emotion of love. Abigail is the singular most perfect creature he has ever seen. He knows in an instant that he has been chosen to care for and protect this wonderful blessing. But there is something very different about Abigail…


How can Adrian care for a child on his own? He is a single, gay man who knows how difficult life can be when you are different … and Abigail is different indeed.


He decides he must do whatever it takes to ensure the safety and well-being of little Abigail. And as the days and the weeks pass by, Adrian learns more about himself then he ever thought possible. He has been struggling with the ridicule and abuse he himself faced as a child and has suppressed those feelings for so long. But Abigail has a strange affect on anyone who comes in contact with her. Whoever sees her is overcome with joy and a sense of unconditional love.
“When all the projections of the unforeseeable future were reduced to one moment and all the pretentiousness of the “so-called” modern world were stripped away, the beauty of acceptance and unconditional love was all that mattered. The ability to love one of God’s creatures unencumbered by prejudice or fear was a quality that Adrian had seen little of in his lifetime. It was also an attribute he had no idea he might possess. But now he thought, maybe… just maybe.

The continuing story of Abigail follows the family through their life experiences. Part one is the telling of Abigail’s introduction into Adrian Billard’s life and the initial problem that creates. Part two, due out early next year, takes place fifteen years later and follows our family though those very trying times in a young girl’s life: The Wonder Years. High school, puberty, and dating … oh my!


On the surface it is a sci-fi horror story, but Abigail touches on some very deep topics. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, and ultimately, acceptance and unconditional love.

Watch for more titles to come in the Abigail Universe.

Strange things come in small packages.

Featured Book: For the Love of Hades: (A Hades and Persephone Retelling) by Freida Kilmari

“I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be staring at her like she’s mine. And I definitely shouldn’t be considering whisking her away to The Underworld with me. But I might.” – Hades

Hades has visited Kore for centuries while remaining invisible, so when he’s given the chance to reveal himself and save her from the imprisoned life Zeus provides, he doesn’t hesitate. He’ll show her what life can feel like if you let it. And he’ll never let her go. But can she give up her life as a goddess to become Queen of The Underworld?

“I was alone for two thousand years. Watching everyone else live their life from the confines of my forced innocence. Until he came along. Until Hades showed me the stars amid the darkness.” – Persephone

***

This is a 30,000-word simple MF Persephone and Hades romantic retelling. This is a standalone novella. Themes of entrapment and freedom are explored throughout, as well as what it means to make your own choices. This is a character-driven story that is intentionally simple and will form part of a larger collection that will, as a whole, show you the entire world.

Featured Free eBook: Delphina (Chronicles of Cetaea Prequel Novella) by Shiulie Ghosh

A Paranormal Fantasy Romance

Two worlds. Two species. One love.

Delphina comes from the Kingdom of Cetaea far below the surface of the sea. Interacting with humans is forbidden, but she can’t resist watching them from afar.

And that’s how it should have stayed – except for a chance meeting with a young man who makes her think humans aren’t so different to Cetaeans after all.

Saj is kind and sweet, and when he kisses her she dreams of staying in his arms forever. But it would mean leaving her ocean kingdom. And for sea-dwellers, that’s tantamount to treason.

New Release: What If You Could? by Lynne Harley

Alberta Author, Lynne Harley bikes across Canada with her new book in support of Mental Health!!

Camrose author, Lynne Harley is biking across Canada to promote her newest book, What If You Could in support of mental health with a substantial goal of $100,000 to be raised and donated to Jack.org, an organization whose testament is to improve youth mental health outcomes in their communities.

Lynne’s biking journey began from Pike Lake Provincial Park on Father’s Day and it will ultimately take her through Saskatchewan, Winnipeg Manitoba, Thunder Bay Ontario, and then completing in Montreal in September.  The book, What If You Could is published by Shadowpaw Press and tour donations are being given to Jack.org through the following link:  http://jack.org/whatifyoucouldtour

DESCRIPTION: 

Bored with hanging around on a branch, munching leaves, a little caterpillar has a big dream of a wonderful future of flying and twirling in the sun and enjoying nectar from beautiful flowers.

But which inner voice should he listen to? The kind voice that encourages him to believe in his dreams, or the mean one that warns him against change and tells him to give up on a brighter future?

This little caterpillar’s inspirational story of transformation is everyone’s story. We all have to decide which inner voice to listen to whenever we prepare to leave our comfort zone, spread our wings, and fly.

Lynne Harley’s life work, spanning forty years as a social worker and transformational life coach, has been to empower individuals to believe in themselves and to give credence to the still, small voice of truth that is within all of us.

A portion of all sales will be donated to Jack.org, Canada’s only charity training and empowering young leaders to revolutionize mental health.

Praise for What If You Could?

This endearing children’s story, What If You Could?, tells the tale of a “thinking” caterpillar who has a dream, and his metamorphosis into a butterfly. Readers of all ages will relate to the voices that speak to the caterpillar as he desires more, dreams big, and is getting ready to leave behind what has been familiar. This book provides parents and educators with valuable teachings and tools. Learning to listen to, and trust the internal voice that is kind and loving, our voice of intuition; and the power of believing and living into one’s dreams. Lynne Harley shares her gifts in the world as a Transformational Life Coach and Speaker, and now with this beautifully inspired children’s book, a tale of transformation for all.” – Mary Morrissey, founder of the Brave Thinking Institute, Internationally best-selling author of No Less Than Greatness and Building Your Field of Dreams, which became a PBS special

What If You Could? Is a wonderful book for children, introducing them to the magic of dreaming big by re-telling, in a very sweet way, the oft-told story of the caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The youngest among us can learn the oldest of lessons through this time-honoured tale that can bring new awareness to a new generation when shared with the easy-to-understand, yet imaginative approach found here. This is a tale sure to generate questions, and open the door for every loving parent’s answer, about how the spiritual power of Belief works. – Neale Donald Walsch, internationally bestselling author of the book series Conversations With God, spiritual teacher, and founder of The Re-Creation Foundation.

ABOUT JACK.ORG:

 Jack.org is the only charity in Canada that partners with young leaders in every province and territory to improve youth mental health outcomes in their communities. Our reasons are clear:

Suicide remains the leading health-related cause of death for young people, accounting for 25% of youth deaths, and most young people still don’t get the support they need when they’re struggling with their mental health. The pandemic has only exacerbated this emergency, with youth across the country consistently at higher risk of experiencing poor mental health than any other age group.

Our work aims to enhance young people’s ability to recognize struggle in both themselves and their peers, seek out appropriate mental health support and resources, and advocate for systems that are better able to meet the needs of young people. Our goal is to ensure that every young person in the country gets the help they deserve.

ABOUT LYNNE:

Lynne currently resides in Camrose, Alberta. Her life work, spanning 40 years as a Social Worker and as a Transformational Life Coach, has been to empower individuals to believe in themselves and to give credence to the still, small voice of truth that is within all of us. Her children’s story “What If You Could?” was inspired by the work she does and shares a universal message. One that she visions will be embraced by readers of all ages. Everyone, from children to teens to graduates to seniors, must navigate change. This book speaks to the power of listening deeply to our inner voice. The voice that is kind, loving and encourages us to believe in the best of who we are and our potential.

Lynne is the proud mother of three adult sons, and three grandchildren. She loves to travel and has enjoyed may adventures learning about other cultures and volunteering abroad. As a cancer survivor, Lynne is deeply grateful for her physical health and well-being and enjoys an active lifestyle in nature hiking, kayaking, cycling, skiing and snowshoeing.

#SaharasMusings – Sunflowers

Which Birds Eat Sunflower Seeds - Garden Bird Feeder

About three years ago, I heard that birds will eat the seeds from the head of a sunflower plant.  That sounded so cool so I was going to plant a few.  Well, two years later and I still hadn’t planted any.  I’d even bought a packet of seeds but due to several factors, laziness being one 😂🤣, they just never got burned in the dirt.  Another reason was our unusually cold Spring as the seeds need to be sown when the ground temperature is a steady 70 degrees. That didn’t happen here until almost the end of June.  By then, I thought it was too late.

The last factor was my concern where I was going to plant them.  I felt a big container wouldn’t be approbative so I wanted to put them next to my table where they’d bask in plenty of the southern sunshine.  But would they be safe there?  Would they get mowed down by accident?

As you can see by this picture, (Hello, Cleo), that wouldn’t have been a problem.  The crew they hired to maintain the property does a pretty shabby job.  They leave weeds growing everywhere.  When I noticed a larger one pop up next to our building, I figured it was a junk weed.  I even thought about pulling it several times.  But why? It’s not my job. 

Not My Job GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY

When it got about waist high, I went over to it and I thought it was a thistle.  They do have pretty flowers but are a noxious plant and forbidden in Omaha.  But, I left it alone.  Then one day, this happened. 

A sunflower head opened up.  Wow!  I was so surprised.  I guess Mother Nature granted me my wish.  Actually, I’m sure it started from sunflower seeds I put out to feed my birds.  Now, I’m really inspired to plant some next year.
