I was born to a diplomat and housewife in Tehran-Iran then whisked across the globe to whatever country my parents had been assigned to. Raised to appreciate various cultures, landscapes, languages, and viewpoints, my life was one grand adventure until a revolution took place in my country and turned our lives upside down. Between then and the age of eighteen I had experienced both the joy, freedom, and magic our world offers as well as wars, deprivation, and oppression. My undergraduate studies were in the Middle East and my post graduate studies were at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France.

So, when did I become a writer? Books had always been my greatest friends, teachers, refuge, and the inspiration to forge my own future. In college I realized I wanted to write engaging mysteries and thrillers. At the same time, I wanted to give readers more than a story. I wanted to share the rich beauty of Persian literature as well as that of other cultures. For that I embarked on a twenty-two-year journey, traveling to various countries, and experiencing life while establishing a successful career. Gabriel McKnight and his first story had been on my mind for several years yet it wasn’t until my mid-forties that I picked up the proverbial pen. The time had come to share my stories.

The next step was making my dream come true. I queried several agents and one glorious day in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic my wonderful literary agent reached out to me with an offer for representation. She took my story to publishers and before I knew it, we had a publishing contract –and here we are.

Today, I live in Oklahoma City, USA with my family and two dogs. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s the power of words. Words can heal, teach, entertain, inspire, and evoke change. I hope you enjoy Gabriel’s adventures as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Joel “Ridge” Breckinridge and Garrett “Rett” Kennard rose through the ranks of the Landrian army together, from teenaged conscripts to seasoned fighters.

As the threads of a new plot come together revealing disloyalty among the priests and generals, Ridge and Rett once again find themselves on the run, hoping they and their allies can figure out the Witch Lord’s latest scheme before it costs them their lives—and the king his throne.

Mirrored Wounds Book Tour & Giveaway (7/5 to 8/5)

 When the present mirrors her past wounds, Laura begins to unravel  

 

Mirrored Wounds

by Rebecca Christo

Genre: Contemporary Women’s Fiction, Psychological Mystery

 

 

 
 

 

 Laura’s life was finally good. She’d freed herself from the clutches of an abusive partner, left an unrewarding career as an interior designer to follow her dreams of becoming a writer, and was finally happy. And things were only getting better. Her very first novel had struck a chord with readers and become a bestseller, but when the murder she’d described in its pages suddenly gets played out in real life, with her beloved husband as the victim, it is obvious to her that she looks guilty, despite having an alibi that would have been difficult to fake.



As the investigation proceeds, with little or no progress being made, bizarre happenings in the security-protected home she’d shared with her husband have her questioning her own sanity, despite the reassurance of her therapist. Could she have murdered the first man to ever make her feel truly loved and secure and then just … forgotten somehow? Surely not. But as even more troubling events come to light, with no logical explanation besides her own guilt, she finds herself questioning everything she knows to be true … including her own innocence.

 

 
 

 Avid dog lover and Author Rebecca Christo was born in Toronto, Ontario, where she developed an early love of both reading and writing. Of particular interest to her was creating a story with emotionally mature content that was still entertaining enough to be read for fun on a relaxing vacation. She hopes she’s succeeded with her very first published novel: Mirrored Wounds.


When she’s not travelling with her husband, Darcy Christo, Rebecca enjoys spending time with him, her children Ali, Brittany and Maxwell, and her puppies (Lucy and Winston) in Wasaga Beach, Ontario where she currently lives.

The Bluff Cover Reveal & Giveaway (7/15)

 A crumbling bluff, two unsolved homicides, and a woman on the edge. Haunted by her husband’s untimely death, Kate must navigate treacherous waters and leave Crest Lake and her tragic past behind…before it all unravels.  

 

The Bluff

by Bonnie Traymore

Genre: Psychological Thriller

 

 

“Gripping and full of surprises, The Bluff is a clever psychological suspense with layered characters and an atmospheric setting. Traymore masterfully ratchets up the tension little-by-little until the shocking, explosive end.” Tracey Devlyn, USA Today bestselling author

 

What do you have to lose, Kate?” Ryan asked me, as we stood on the bluff looking out on Lake Michigan.

 

Turns out, almost everything.

 

When I first moved from Manhattan to this small town six years ago, I worried about many things. I worried about finding a job. I worried that I’d be bored. I worried that my relationship with charming photographer Ryan Breslow was moving too fast. But I never worried about whether the ground beneath my feet would crumble—both literally and figuratively.

 

My marriage didn’t go as I’d imagined. A year ago, Ryan met his untimely death in a car accident that’s still under investigation. Isolated and alone, all I wanted was to sell my home and leave Crest Lake and its painful memories behind.

 

But with my home inching ever closer to the edge of the crumbling bluff, the property has become unmarketable. All of us on the lakefront have lost chunks of property, and tempers are at a boiling point about what to do next.

 

And now, on the evening of a contentious vote about how to fix this pressing issue, my nemesis on the shoreline committee has been murdered. I know how it looks, but it’s not what it seems. I have to get my plan passed and cash out.

 

Because I have secrets.

 

And they won’t stay buried forever.

July 2024 Free eBooks – 16th to 31st

This is my view while sitting at my table on the patio.  I love it as it blocks me from other people’s view as they’re strolling by.  People have been startled when they realize I’m there.  LOL.  

The apartment complex I live in has been slowly decaying over the past 13 years.  The siding needs cleaned, there are a LOT of bare spots showing through the painted portions on the buildings.  It started looking like a slum lord owned the place.  They’ve even had issues getting renters as people look at the outside and go, NOPE.  If you don’t take care of the outside, what do you do for your tenants.  

Well, the owners finally broke down and they are residing and painting the whole complex.  YAY!  Which means all my lovely flowers and tables will have to come inside when they get to my building.  Though, as extensive as the repairs have been, it might not be until fall.  Still, I’m looking forward to a fresh looking complex.

Tribes

by Mia Frances

A dark, gritty post-apocalyptic tale of love, loathing, & survival!

 

 Alex, her sisters, and their kids are on their way to her camp in the Adirondack Mountains for the Columbus Day weekend when the unthinkable happens. A voice on the radio warns the country is under attack! Greeted by guns and bullets when they try to seek shelter, they’re forced to hide in a cave to wait out the fallout.

After two weeks in their dank hole, Alex wakes up one morning to discover her sisters gone. They’ve taken the rented minibus and returned to the city to search for their husbands, leaving Alex to care for her 7 nieces and nephews. It’s an arduous 35-mile hike through the mountains to her camp…a journey through hell!

Society is devolving. The strong: looters, murderers, and rapists; preying on the weak. The small hamlets and villages they pass through have become killing fields, as survivors battle each other for the few remaining supplies. Above them, the skies are growing darker every day, blocking out the sun. Temperatures are plummeting. Winter is coming early.

Along the way, Alex rescues two starving orphans whose mother was murdered by marauders. In her struggle to keep the children alive, Alex stumbles on a hidden cache of food only to discover it’s guarded by a man who’ll haunt her nightmares. Half guardian angel, half demon. Both barbarian and benefactor. A strange mixture of brutality and gentleness, cruelty and caring. A man named Wolf!

Throne of Gods Book Tour & Giveaway – 7/1 to 8/30

The Gods may think they own the fire soldiers, but they have no idea of the inferno that’s coming.

 

Fire Soldier

Throne of Gods Book 1

by J.A. Culican

Genre: Epic Fantasy, Paranormal Romance  

 

The Gods may think they own the fire soldiers, but they have no idea of the inferno that’s coming.

I was born from Ares with the fire given to him from his one true love. Though the Gods imprisoned him as punishment for loving a woman that wasn’t his, he forged a kingdom from the flames and made his children his soldiers.

Now that Ares is gone, the Gods will stop at nothing to control the Kingdom of Fire and all who inhabit it. But I was created to fight, so, in Ares name I’ll avenge his murder and reduce them all to ashes for what they have done to my family.

The only problem is, my brethren don’t fully understand what’s at stake, so I’m on my own fighting a battle with a cursed trait no one knows about. When Karim, a half centaur/half siren and my sworn enemy since birth takes my side as I stand up to the Gods, I’m torn, but without anyone else to help save the fire soldiers, I have to accept help from my age old rival, with secrets of his own.

I might not like it, but he’s the only thing between my eternal servitude and scorching the earth with the bones of the Gods that enslave us. We are coming for the thrones of the Gods, and I’m not going to let anything stand in my way. Between us, we’ll set the heavens ablaze and watch the ashes fall.

If you love Game of Thrones, Greek mythology and enemies to lovers romance that’s guaranteed to have your heart set to slow burn, grab book one of this sizzling fantasy series now.

Bonus anime character art included in all formats.

God Slayer

Throne of Gods Book 2

The gods have reigned in wickedness for too long. My brethren and I will take their thrones—even if it means tearing everything apart.

No one said that saving the world from the evil Olympians would be easy. Our losses are beyond number, and our peoples have been forced to endure unimaginable suffering. Every day, it becomes harder for the common folk to hold on, to envision a brighter future.

And to make matters worse, the evil gods show no signs of backing down. The Olympians are converging on a new vacuum of power, and the stage has been set for a massive battle in the fortified city of Caepernus—a battle that will take everything we’ve got. Will the walls of the city hold? Can we muster up the manpower to drive back the mighty armies of Olympus?

Truth is, we don’t have a choice but to succeed. If we fail, all will be lost.

Even in the destruction and chaos, I’m finding more and more to love and defend, though. Battle has a way of drawing people together, and close-knit friendships are budding even as we face these incredible odds. Strange as it may seem, in times of war love may grow between former enemies…

Fans of Game of Thrones, Greek mythology and love against all odds are sure to devour God Slayer! If you’ve been looking for an action-packed, enemies-to-lovers romance, you won’t want to miss this sizzling tale!

Bonus anime character art in every format!

Cursed Warrior

Throne of Gods Book 3

The war is coming to a close. But who will prevail?

My brethren and I have given everything to destroy the rule of the old gods, but the victory is not yet won. The remaining powers of Olympus have their sights set on us, and the clash we’re preparing for will shake the world to its very foundations.

And just when things couldn’t get any more dangerous, our efforts are interrupted by a vile betrayal.

The traitor in our midst threatens to destroy the powerful bond between me and my brethren, and to give scheming Apollo exactly what he needs to ruin us. More than that, this betrayal could lead to the death of the one I love most before our romance even has a chance to take root.

Dispirited and exhausted, we have no choice but to pull through, and to prepare for the largest battle the world has ever seen. Snatching the thrones from the remaining Olympians will take us to the very limits of our strength, and it’s possible that we won’t make it out alive. There are no guarantees, even for a daughter of Ares…

If we don’t do it, no one will. And if we can’t succeed, then no one can.

Cursed Warrior is sure to thrill and delight readers looking for a simmering enemies-to-friends romance. Fans of Game of Thrones and Greek myths won’t want to miss the pulse-pounding action and mind-blowing twists of this third installment!

Bonus anime character art in every format!

  

Captured King

Throne of Gods Book 4

The war may be over, but the struggle has only just begun…

With numerous Olympians out of the picture, my brethren and I will have a chance to pick up the pieces and enjoy our new positions, right?

Wrong. Dead wrong.

In the aftermath of a long and grueling campaign, the world is thrust once more into darkness. The peace and healing we’d all hoped for is threatened by a dark presence from the past—one who will bring our war-weary world to the brink of conflict once again.

And it gets worse. No one tells you what it’s like to wield real power, to occupy the throne of a major kingdom. To say that my friends and I will have to go through some growing pains and put our real desires on the back-burner is an understatement. Old wounds still need healing and old treacheries continue to bring pain into the present.

We gave our all to bring hope to the people of the world, but holding onto our new thrones is going to prove more difficult than gaining them ever was.

Fans of Game of Thrones and Greek mythology will love Captured King, the fourth installment in the exciting Throne of Gods series! If you’ve been looking for a slow-burning friends-to-enemies romance with a generous helping of action, look no further!

Bonus anime character art available in all formats!

Eternal Kingdoms

Throne of Gods Book 5

 

Peace was almost in our grasp. Now, it couldn’t be further out of reach…

A war-shattered world. The bonds of love and friendship strained to the breaking point. A colossal evil threatening to sow chaos.

When my brethren and I stepped up to build a new world and challenged the corrupt Olympians, we never expected that filling their thrones would be easy. Being forced from one struggle to the next and made to shoulder great tensions has been more punishing than expected, though. Worse, it’s only driven some of us apart.

Stresses run high and relationships have become choppy. The love I’d once pursued has been forced into the background as more profound challenges loom ahead. A fight unlike anything we’ve ever seen is brewing—a clash that threatens to destroy everything we’ve worked so hard to accomplish.

So, what do we have left now that the end draws near? At this pivotal moment, what can we rely upon?

As always, we only have each other. Friends new and old will have to assemble to meet this threat head-on.

The stakes have never been higher. If our reign is to be eternal and the peaceful world we’ve dreamt of a reality, then we have to come together and win.

Eternal Kingdoms marks the stunning finale of the Throne of Gods series! Fans of Greek myths and Game of Thrones will find nail-biting twists, ample action and a riveting slow-burn romance in its pages!

Anime character art included in every format!

Hades Oath

Throne of Gods Prequel

The king of the underworld has been taken by surprise.

Since time immemorial, the gods of Olympus have ruled. Now, a mysterious challenger emerges, seeking their thrones…

Ares, god of war and ruler of the powerful Fire Kingdom, discovers a threat to his empire. Arising from obscurity, a maverick king of the eastern territories has launched an attack in the valley of Hades. This enigmatic king, Sisyphus, wields a mythical blade and begins to set his sights on other Olympian strongholds, with plans to unite them all under his rule.

When his requests for help fall on deaf ears, the god of war takes matters into his own hands.

Eager to stamp out Sisyphus’ ambitions, Ares puts together a strike force, comprised of his most promising Fire Kingdom warriors. Among them is Xira, a talented young recruit and descendant of Ares. Relatively inexperienced, will the fiery young warrior prove herself, or will she fail the god of war in his hour of need?

This pulse-pounding prequel novella sets the stage for the Throne of Gods series. Fans of Greek mythology and blistering fantasy action won’t want to miss it!
