Drew
I grab my phone dialing. “Stanley, we are coming out in five.” I hang up the phone and Jasmine walks out in these nice fitting jeans holding a bag and her purse. “Damn, Jasmine. You know I can get through those.”
I reach my hand out to take her bag. “I can carry my bag, Drew. You don’t have enough time to get me out these jeans.”
Why is she so determined to not let me hold this bag? I grab the bag. “Let it go.” She releases her grip. “That’s not so bad, now is it?” She sighs, holding on to her purse. The way that shirt is snuggled up on her breasts has every bit of my attention.
She is looking up shaking her head as if I said something inappropriate. “I guess Drew, it’s just a bag. Get your thoughts situated, I can tell what you are thinking by the look on your face.”
Fuck, she can’t be reading my face. We walk towards the door. I grab her keys off the wall. “I’ll lock up. Stanley is driving so you don’t need your keys.”
She sips in a deep breath. I can tell she wants to be in control. I insert the key locking the door and we walk to the car. Stanley has the door open and she looks up to me saying, “How did you get here?”
“A cab, why?” Her curiosity is growing a bit much more than I expected. Typically, girls don’t ask me anything. Stanley tilts his head taking the bag from me.
Jasmine steps ahead of me. “Thank you, Stanley.”
“You are most welcome, Jasmine.”
Wow, these two are on first name basis. I smirk as I get in after her. Jasmine looks back at me. “Why did you get a cab? Is something wrong with your car?”
“No. Just relax.” I get a card out from my shirt pocket and pass it to her. She opens it with a girlish smile on her face and reads it aloud.
“I’m going for more than thoughtful.”
She smiles at me. I knew I’d won her heart the way she looked at me. All of this is going too fast, faster than I’d ever imagined. Who am I kidding, this is a feeling I never imagined. She looks at me blushing, and with a magical breath she says, “Always with you.”
Damn, if this is what I feel like hearing her say this I don’t know how love might make me feel like. I pull her in close to me and kiss her. “Hey, keep your hands off we will be at the house in twenty minutes.” She twists her lips up and laughs softly.

Jasmine
Drew acts like he’s meeting my mom. He needs to calm down, Chantal and Victoria will not be on time. I don’t understand his rushing. I can hear his feet pacing in the living room. I start applying my lotion; with only my jewelry to put on, I will be complete. I take one more look at my eye shadow as I face the mirror and shout, “I will be out in a minute, Drew.”
His footsteps sound like they are much closer. “Baby, open the door. I’m sure you are ready. In ten minutes, Rom will be there.”
I look around the bathroom noticing my stuff all around the floor. Why is his bathroom so massive, it’s just one Andrew here. I did enjoy his double sit-down shower though. I begin gathering my stuff.
“I will be out in a minute. Why will Romel be there twenty minutes before seven?” I pick up my jeans and stuff them in the bag.
Drew takes a deep breath, I can tell he is trying to stay calm, “Jasmine, open the door or…”
I shout from the other side of the door, “Drew, okay I will in a…” I hear the door unlock. Damn, Drew looks delicious in those jeans. “Why did you open the door?”
“Baby. You look beautiful…you do know I can open any door here.” He smirks looking at me. “Including that one between your thighs.”
“Boy, hush, I don’t get it. I told you seven, why are you in a rush?” I walk out of the bathroom and Drew’s eyes are following my every movement.
“Jasmine, seven means be there at seven, not leave at seven. We are late.” I place my bag on his plush king size bed and he follows behind me placing it in a closet. He walks back over to his bed to wipe out the wrinkles. He is such a neat freak.
“Drew, it’s 6:45, the place is around the corner. I know my girls and they will not be there.”
“Sweetheart, it’s not polite to keep people waiting. Have I kept you waiting?” Drew walks up from behind me wrapping his arms around me. I look up at him saying,
“No, you haven’t, Mr. Thoughtful. I’m ready to go.” He picks me up and rushes to the elevator.

Title: THE DESIRE CARD
Author: Lee Matthew Goldberg
Publisher: Fahrenheit Press
Pages: TBA
Genre: Crime/Suspense
Author: Lee Matthew Goldberg
Publisher: Fahrenheit Press
Pages: TBA
Genre: Crime/Suspense
Harrison Stockton learns this lesson all too well. Harrison has lived an adult life of privilege and excess: a high-powered job on Wall Street along with a fondness for alcohol and pills, and a family he adores, yet has no time for. All of this comes crashing to a halt when he loses his executive job and discovers he has liver cirrhosis with mere months left to live.
After finding himself far down on the donor list, Harrison takes matters into his own hands. This decision sparks a gritty and gripping quest that takes him to the slums of Mumbai in search of a black market organ and forces him under the Desire Card’s thumb. When his moral descent threatens his wife and children, Harrison must decide whether to save himself at any cost, or do what’s right and put a stop to the Card.
THE DESIRE CARD is a taut international thriller that explores what a man will do to survive when money isn’t always enough to get everything he desires. It’s the first book in a series followed by PREY NO MORE that focuses on other people indebted to this sinister organization, where the actual price is the cost of one’s soul.
PRAISE:
“Careful what you wish for, especially from a nefarious shadow organization, in this gripping start to Lee Matthew Goldberg’s fast-paced, highly compelling, buzz worthy new series. If you love characters morally compromised, richly drawn, and constantly surprising, you’ll love THE DESIRE CARD. I burned through the first book and can’t wait to get my hands on PREY NO MORE to see where this endlessly exciting story takes me next! Loved it!” – Daniel Palmer, critically acclaimed suspense author

______________________
HARRISON
STUMBLED INTO CENTRAL PARK
CLUTCHING THE SILVER BRIEFCASE, HIS BODY SHAKING FROM BEING HUNTED. Clouds
clogged the sky. The trees seemed like creatures towering over him. He turned
around to see the man in the Humphrey Bogart mask running toward the entrance,
a gun bulging from the guy’s inside pocket. The man’s cold eyes scanned the
park, zeroing in. Harrison took off down a dirt path
until he was alone with only the wind ringing in his ears.
He wanted to collapse; he begged
himself to just give in. Nature would destroy him soon anyway, and his shins
were starting to feel like they’d been repeatedly stabbed. He coughed up an
excess of blood and mucus that spilled down a rock. Now he’d gone so far down
the trail that he couldn’t see where he entered. The sound of footsteps came
from all directions. A distorted laugh caused all the nearby pigeons to shoot
toward the sky. The laugh was followed by an eerie whistle that became louder
and louder as he spun around expecting to see his pursuer.
A shadow passed behind a tree, bigger
than any animal. He propped himself up against a rock, too exhausted to move
any farther, closing his eyes and waiting to die. He could see tomorrow’s
headlines declaring his death as a mugging gone wrong.
“Gracie,” he cried, trembling.
“Brent, my boy…oh God.”
He had pissed himself now, the
urine hot and sticky as it trickled down his pants leg. He still held the
silver briefcase close to his chest, resolving not to let it go without a
fight.
The man in the Bogart mask emerged
from behind a tree holding a gun.
“Just hand it over, Mr. Stockton,”
the man said. The voice box attached to his mouth made him sound robotic,
weirdly calm. “You don’t want this to get any more complicated than it already
has.”
The man made a grab for the
briefcase, but Harrison held on tight.
“You’ll kill me anyway,” Harrison
yelled, spooking any pigeons that hadn’t already flown away.
“Only if you force me to do so.”
The man kicked Harrison
in the shin, causing him to nearly buckle over. Harrison
was thrown to the ground, the man pinning him down. He still managed to hold
onto the briefcase as if it was fused to his hand.
“The Boss doesn’t know about what you’ve done
yet,” the man said, hitting Harrison’s head against the
hard dirt. “Do you understand what that means? That means you can still live.
And he’ll never find out as long as we get what we’re owed.”
“Why would you do that for me?” he
asked, seeing four masked men spinning around.
The man stepped back and pointed
the gun between Harrison’s eyes.
“The Boss doesn’t like when things
don’t go according to plan. I could be in as much trouble as you for letting
this slip-up happen. So let’s make this easy for both of us.”
Harrison got
on one elbow and hoisted himself up.
“Do I have your word?”
The man nodded.
“And my family? My wife…my kids? I
wouldn’t have to worry about them being hurt?”
“As much as you might think that
you are our sole concern, we have an entire organization to run beyond your
pithy life. Now I will count to ten and if you don’t hand over the briefcase,
I’ll put a bullet between your eyes.”
Harrison
thought about what his life had really amounted to. All the hours he’d slaved
at Sanford & Co., making rich people boatloads richer. Getting into the
office before dawn and often heading home in the middle of the night.
Sacrificing his family, his youth, his sanity. How it had made him into a
drinker, a serial gorger of all vices, just so he could forget about what he
was losing. After all of that, what did he have left to show?
“…8…9…10,” the man said, about to
pull the trigger.
“All right, all right.”
Harrison
handed over the briefcase. The man opened it up and appeared to be satisfied, a
smirking grin visible through his mask.
“I’ll leave you with this nugget of
wisdom,” he said, without putting the gun away. “If what you did manages to
compromise us in any way, if there are any rippling after-effects, be prepared
to come across the Boss. He’s known to wear a Clark Gable mask.” The man’s
smirk had disappeared. “He only appears when he’s ready to bloody his hands.
Good day, Mr. Stockton.”
“Who are you people? Under the
masks…who are you really?”
The man raised the gun over Harrison’s
head.
“I doubt you’ll ever find out,” he
said, and struck Harrison on the forehead with the
handle.
A trickle of blood spilled down Harrison’s
nose and felt cold on his tongue. He slunk down and rested his cheek against
the dirt, watching the man in the mask take off through the trees, the silver
briefcase shining like a beam of light snaking through the leaves. And then the
man finally disappeared—as if he was nothing more than a nightmare brought to
life and extinguished once the fitful dreamer finally woke.
Harrison
pressed against his rib cage and felt for his engorged liver. Cursed at it.
Wanted to tear it from his stomach. He’d been poisoned from within for too
long, his unending punishment for all of his crimes. Blood zigzagged into his
eyes as the wound on his forehead opened up even more. With his other hand he
reached into his pocket and removed his wallet. A thin metallic card fell from
out of a sleeve and sat in a puddle of blood that had collected in the dirt.
He
crumpled it up in his fist since it was responsible for letting these psychopaths
into his life. He knew he’d never feel completely settled again, always worried
that they might come after him and his family. The Desire Card had caused him
to seek out gruesome and despicable wishes. From the instant this devil’s
temptation had been placed in his hands, his moral compass never stood a
chance. So he chucked it into the air and watched it sail over the rocks for
some other fool to find.
“I’m
sorry, Helene,” he mumbled to the wind. He knew he’d have to come clean about
everything. His head throbbed, and he recalled a memory from twenty-five years
ago. Spying her in the quad at Chilton
College drinking a cherry Coke, tan
and shapely from field hockey, the entire campus becoming muted except for her.
He took a chance by flirting miserably and changing the course of their lives.
She would’ve
been better off if they had never met. In such a short amount of time, he’d
fallen so far. Now because of him people had been sliced up, left for dead, and
soon he’d follow them to his own grave. As he drifted off into unconsciousness,
he remembered that it all began to spiral out of control on his last day at
Sanford & Co. over a month ago, this treacherous path he embarked on, his
dark and dried-up destiny.

Cut Reality
by Zack Hacker
Genre: Psychological Thriller, Suspense
When the specter of death comes to reality TV, who’s to blame?
After a reality television competitor dies during filming, it sends the
cast reeling. Follow Jason Debord as he takes on the role of amateur
detective to gain clarity into the death of a reality TV co-star and
ends up uncovering criminal conspiracy.
When Jason returned home from competing on Beached, he’d lost weight,
couldn’t sleep, and felt more alone than ever. But he expected those
changes. Jason had no way to predict that one of his fellow
competitors would fling himself from a cliff. Unless he didn’t. Jason
can’t believe it, but the network presents coverage of the alleged
suicide to the world.
Seeing motive in every crew member’s movements, Jason compiles evidence of
conspiracy, only to be met with resistance from the cast and network
alike. He persists only through the support of his developing
relationship with Blake, a psychologist who observes alarming
similarities between her patient and her partner. Events in Cut
Reality have a variety of interpretations. Ultimately, Jason has to
decide while under the watchful eye of the public: is his

psychological thrillers alike. If you enjoy Survivor, Big Brother,
The Amazing Race, MTV’s The Challenge, or other works of

Past & Present Collide in Strong As Steel by Jon Land @jondland
.
Jon Land has done it again, taking me on another action packed adventure with Caitlin Strong and her cohorts in Strong As Steel. This is one series that keeps on giving.
MY REVIEW
1959, Turkey: A freighter, all the crew dead, takes out the Port of Ordu, just like in a Jurassic Park movie.
1904, Mexico: A little girl watches as her entire family is slaughtered at her parents wedding.
1994, Texas: The entire crew of a train, plus a few spare bodies, are found dead.
WTH is going on?
Caitlin is 14 years old, so it is her dad, Jim, on the case..
Present Day: Here comes Caitlin…with guns blazing. She has a sixth sense when it comes to tracking down her quarry. She is surrounded by unique and interesting characters that play vital roles in the story. The characters will face some personal challenges, but Cort has no doubt…Right is right and wrong is wrong.
I am very curious how Jon Land will bring everything together. I never worry about action, because he supplies plenty and keeps me reading, wanting to know all the answers.
I love the paranormal elements that blend in so well with the normal. Paz has visions and Cort has a root beer drinking ghost that supplies plenty of laughs to go with the danger and mystery.
Jon’s description of Caitlin’s Barbie and Ken dolls had me busting out laughing. It’s the little things like that which make Jon Land’s writing so fantastic.
I know a series can become repetitive, dry and past it’s prime, but so far Caitlin Strong is going strong and I look forward to seeing what he puts her through next.
GOODREADS BLURB
1994: Texas Ranger Jim Strong investigates a mass murder on a dusty freight train linked to a mysterious, missing cargo for which no record exists.
The Present: His daughter, fifth generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong, finds herself on the trail of that same cargo when skeletal remains are found near an excavation site in the Texas desert. She’s also dealing with the aftermath of a massacre that claimed the lives of all the workers at a private intelligence company on her watch.
These two cases are connected by a long buried secret, one that men have killed and died to protect. Caitlin and her outlaw lover Cort Wesley Masters must prove themselves to be as strong as steel to overcome a bloody tide that has been rising for centuries.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jon’s first nonfiction book, Betrayal, meanwhile, was named Best True Crime Book of 2012 by Suspense Magazine and won a 2012 International Book Award for Best True Crime Book.

Best Villain Ever! Silent Mayhem by Sue Coletta @SueColetta1
.
**$0.99 preorder. Will be released 4.24.19**
MY REVIEW
OMG!!!!! Mr Mayhem is one of the best villains, serial killer, ever! Is it possible to love a villain for his goodness, while hating him for his badness? And the crows…do they seek revenge when slighted?
Shawnee is a fabulous character. If I am ever in trouble, I want her at my side. I love that Levaughn, her cop boyfriend accepts her with all her foibles. I worry for her friends and family, afraid Mr Mayhem or Poe will seek retribution for perceived wrongs.
Sue Coletta pens some of the best stories and is at the top of my reading list, one of my go to authors. Her writing shines with the research and details included in her work. I love the use of the crows and the Indian folklore. Her writing speaks to me and I respond with delight.
I kept putting the book down, because I didn’t want to finish it. I wanted to savor each word, letting my mind mull over what would happen next. Loaded with surprises, Sue Coletta’s imagination knows no bounds and I marvel at how her mind works. Read her biography and you will see how she manages to cover the subject matter, serial killers, so well.
Bring on the next one…soon, please.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Silent Mayhem by Sue Coletta.
GOODREADS BLURB
Some things in life defy comprehension, but that doesn’t make them any less real. Or deadly.
When a familiar crow drops a cryptic scroll at Shawnee Daniels’ feet, she’s compelled to open it, even though everything in her power warns her not to. Mr. Mayhem—the most prolific serial killer the North Shore has ever known—claims her life is in danger. He “claims” he wants to help her, but just last year he threatened to murder everyone she loves.
While Mayhem taunts her with oddly-placed feathers, like The Creator left at his crime scenes, an interstate killing spree rocks Massachusetts and New Hampshire. A madman is decapitating men and women, dumping their headless corpses on two area beaches. But what Shawnee soon uncovers shatters all she’s ever known, her memories shredded, the whispers of the past in shambles on the ground.
Can she find the strength to move forward, or will the truth destroy her?

The Mystery Angel Romances Book 1
Kellen Brand’s inheritance turns out to be a whopper—one dilapidated farm
in West Virginia and one guardian angel!
Since Kellen is convinced no sane woman would choose to live in Riverside,
she vows to sell her farm and quick. Her handsome neighbor Luke
Kenyon must block the farm sale or risk exposure of his family’s
secrets. While Kellen has located one potential buyer, she faces a
town full of objectors. Someone is trying to frighten her off, and
Luke is forced to step in and rescue her more than once.
Unfortunately, Kellen can’t seem to stay out of trouble. She stumbles onto a
clandestine hazardous-waste-dumping operation next to her farm, and
she prays Luke has one more rescue up his sleeve. It’s her only hope
of staying alive.
Unless her mother really did leave her a guardian angel . .
Petie spent a large part of her career working at Walt Disney World — “The
Most Magical Place on Earth” — where she enjoyed working in the
land of fairy tales by day and creating her own romantic fairy tales
by night, including her new series, The Cinderella Romances. She
eventually said good-bye to her “day” job to write her
stories full-time. These days Petie spends her time writing sequels
to her regency time travel series, Lords in Time, and her
cozy-mystery-with-a-dash-of-romantic-suspense series, the Mystery
Angel Romances.
Petie shares her home on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee with her
horticulturist husband, a spoiled-rotten English Springer spaniel
addicted to pimento-stuffed green olives, and a noisy Nanday conure
named Sassy who made a cameo appearance in Angel to the Rescue.

Giveaway – Mamma’s Moon by Jerome Mark Antil @SDSXXTours #JeromeMarkAntil
.
Mamma’s Moon
The Hoodoo of Peckerwood Finch
by Jerome Mark Antil
Genre: Thriller
“Jerome Mark Antil’s Mamma’s Moon does
for Acadiana what Truman Capote did for Tiffany’s or Tennessee
Williams did for streetcars. This is a novel about a lot of things,
including sex, crime, life, and death. But most of all, it’s a novel
about hope and about love.
Mamma’s Moon gives the reader a dramatic and insightful glimpse into the very
special world of today’s Louisiana French Acadians, whose early
tragic history was immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his
classic poem, Evangeline, even before the heartless bayou’s more contemporary history was
buried deep and forgotten.” Tom Hyman (LA Times bestselling
author: writer for LIFEmagazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Argosy, Washington
Post Book World and New York Magazine.)
This novel, Mamma’s Moon, is a sequel to the novel, One More Last Dance. It
stands alone as an entirely self-contained story, but for those of
you who may not have read the earlier novel, I include here a brief
description of the main characters and of the events that preceded this story.
A bond that can only happen on a dance floor happened in a cafe off
Frenchman Street among four unlikely characters: a man who was about
to die; his friend, an illiterate Cajun French yardman; and two of
the most successful women in New Orleans.
Aging Captain Gabriel Jordan, retired, was given two months to live, three
months before he met “Peck”–Boudreau Clemont Finch–a
groundskeeper on the back lawn of his hospice on Bayou Carencro,
Louisiana. It was at the hospice that Gabe told Peck his dream of
seeing the Newport Jazz Festival before he died. They became friends,
and Peck offered to help grant his wish by taking him there.
And they began their journey.
It quickly became a journey with complications and setbacks. They saved
each other many times, but they were in turn saved by two
extraordinary women: Sasha (Michelle Lissette), a real estate agent
in New Orleans’s posh Garden District, and her best friend, Lily Cup
(Lily Cup Lorelei Tarleton), a criminal attorney.
Less than a year before the events in Mamma’s Moon, Gabe
and Peck wandered into Charlie’s Blue Note, a small jazz bar in a
side alley just off Frenchman Street, where the music was live and
mellow and the dancing warm and sensual.
Here they encountered Sasha and Lily Cup, and amid the music, the dancing,
the food, the flirting, and the cigar smoke, the four formed an
unusual and lasting friendship that would see them each through a
series of crises, disappointments, life-threatening situations, and
moments of great joy and satisfaction.
JEROME MARK ANTIL writes in several genres. He has been called a
“greatest generation’s Mark Twain,” a “write what you know
Ernest Hemingway,” and “a sensitive Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.”
It’s been said his work reads like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Among his writing accomplishments, several titles in his The Pompey
Hollow Book Club historical fiction series about growing up in the
shadows of WWII have been honored. An ‘Authors and Writers’ Book
of the Year Award and ‘Writer of the Year’ at Syracuse University
for The Pompey Hollow Book Club novel; Hemingway, Three Angels, and
Me, won SILVER in the UK as second-best novel.
Foreword’s Book of the Year Finalist for The Book of Charlie – historical
fiction and The Long Stem is in the Lobby – nonfiction humor.
Library Journal selected Hemingway, Three Angels and Me for best
reads during Black History Month.
Before picking up the pen, Antil spent his professional career writing and
marketing for the business world. In this role, he lectured at
universities – Cornell, St. Edward’s, and Southern Methodist. His
inspirations have been John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, and Ernest
Hemingway.
