Terrorism can strike anywhere. Even in a city full of magic.

Appearing as another sleepy Massachusetts mill town, Llewellyn harbors a secret, it is a haven for the mystical and the supernatural. Its proximity to an inter-dimensional nexus allows its inhabitants to survive between the Ages of Magic.

Wielding runic weapons forged by his own hand, ex-cop Mike Brennan returns when the city of Llewellyn suffers a series of magical terrorist attacks. With a devastated police force and a city in shambles, Mike must rely on his family and some unlikely allies, including a powerless professor of theoretical magic and an apprentice druid not old enough to shave.

As events unfold, Mike is forced to face the dangerous consequences of his past actions and decide whether to once again take up the badge and the burdens that come with it.

Together, he and his allies work to stop the attacks and discover who is behind them. But the enemy always seems to be one step ahead and has some rather unique allies of its own.

A voracious reader, Jack Cullen grew up reading any book he could get his hands on. His favorite genres are science fiction, fantasy and mysteries. A veteran of both the Army and the Air Force, Jack is a fourth-generation police officer and to his father’s horror, he’s also an attorney.

A Detective Lieutenant with over 25 years in law enforcement. Jack started out as a beat cop and worked a variety of positions in his career. He’s been involved in cases ranging from shoplifting to murder. He is currently the Officer In Charge of a detective unit that investigates crimes against special victims.

After 9/11, Jack was tasked by his department to assist the NY/NJ Port Authority with rescue efforts at Ground Zero. This experience prompted him to reenlist and he deployed as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, just months after the attack. Upon returning, Jack earned a Doctor of Law from the Massachusetts School of Law. After eight years of holding the dual roles of police officer and attorney, Jack paused his law practice in order to write.

His first novel Runes of Steel debuted in 2019 and climbed into Amazon’s bestseller list for Occult Horror and is the first place winner of the Chanticleer International Book Award for Paranormal Fiction.

A member of several writers’ groups, Jack has been known to field late night calls from frantic writers looking to pick his brain on police procedures. Because of this, starting in 2020, Jack will also be hosting a YouTube show called Books, Bullets & Booze which has a very different take on author interviews.

Jack lives in New Hampshire with his wife and kid, the dog, the dog’s cat, six hens and a demon of a rooster named Sean.

Congratulations to H. G. Reed on the release of the mystery thriller Severed: A Novela

Severed: A Novella
by H.G. Reed
October 27th 2017
When snarky college student, Rory Halstead, witnesses a crime on campus, he must go to extreme measures to overcome his neurological disability and help police identify the suspect before a girl is killed and Rory is pinned for it.

"Of course, I look guilty. I'm the guy who was at the scene of the crime and won't tell anyone what he saw. My stupid, useless brain couldn’t form the words. No surprise there, I told them it would happen.

Now I’m sitting in an interrogation room with no less than three cops watching me from the double-sided mirror as if they can hear the tangential cascades in my head. They also see a blank notepad in front of me.

I’m going to prison for this."

Abigail Ruth Pearson was born in Bracknell, Berkshire, on January 28, 1981. Her parents moved to Broseley, Shropshire, before she turned two, and moved again when she was seven, to settle in Cuddington, Cheshire. She left high school, passing all her GCSEs, and attended Reaseheath College, gaining a National Diploma in animal care. She went into work, and began her career working with animals. She has a particular fondness for horses and goats. She began her own family at the age of 19, and today she is a blessed single mother of four children (three daughters and one son). Since 2005, she has swapped animals for children and has enjoyed working a variety of support roles in a primary school. She is currently taking a career break to take care of her son with special needs. She still loves animals and is known as the "cat whisperer" to her friends-although she thinks "crazy cat lady" is a more accurate description. She has a love for writing and poetry. She has entered several United Press competitions, winning the chance to publish her poems in several different books. She also has her own poetry book, Through My Eyes, which was published by United Press as a prize for her work being selected numerous times for their other publications. The Wayfarer's Journey is her debut novel, which she wrote over fifteen years ago and archived while she focused on raising her children. It has always been her dream to see this story become a published book, so she can introduce Jack to the world. Now, thanks to AuthorHouse UK, her dream has come true. Look out for her next book, The Child of Light, which is the follow-on story for The Wayfarer's Journey.

Two 14-year-old girls runaway to Seattle. What awaits them? Are they walking into a trap? A chance meeting at the SeaTac Airport will test the resilience of a shy, introverted 17-year-old girl with a gift she isn't aware she possesses. 

Becca: I’ve had enough of Mom smothering me and using me as her personal slave. I have someone who loves me and wants to make all my dreams come true. Tickets are waiting at the airport for me and my best friend Connie. He’s rich, handsome, and loves me. What could be better than that? Connie will be my bridesmaid at my wedding; then it will be too late for Mom to do anything. He said she would come around when she sees how much he loves me. Did I mention that he is a dream? 

Skye: I don’t want this gift. It is more like a curse. I can’t unknow what I have seen. I have seen her broken and being helped to a car. She is locked away and has no way of getting help. I think they made a mistake when I inherited this gift, I’m too shy and introverted, and the only thing I do well is dance. Casper, my Spirit Animal, is trying to teach me, but will I learn enough before it is too late. Oh, I hope she is strong because I don’t know that I am.

I started late in life as an author. I found that I loved to read YA fiction and paranormal stories. Since I read a lot of those books, I ventured to see if I could write one. It took me five years and multiple revisions. The research for my first book was daunting, but found that I learned so much from that. Graceful Warrior – Nunnehi, brings attention to the subject of human trafficking in a way that is tailored toward informing YA readers of the grooming process that is involved in the fast and growing pace of social media without being judgmental or preachy. I included the Cherokee Spirit Animal aspect as that is something that I found interesting. I believe that we all have Spirit Guides that help us in our times of need. I think we can all learn from the Native Americans and their reverence for life and Mother Earth.

I am working on Book two of the Spirit Animal Series – Nightbird, which I hope to have finished in the next couple of months.

I'm spending my free time, trying to train two rambunctious colts to let me play with them. Not one of my wisest endeavors, fun nonetheless. Learning all about growing house plants and reading anything I can get my hands on.

I am a writer of contemporary and speculative fiction and artist of all things monster. I live to create new worlds and the people in them. Several of my books have been best sellers both nationally and internationally. I have also been a finalist in the LAMDA awards, the "Oscars" of gay literary works. 

I do my best to write original stories with powerful characters and emotion as well as a fast-paced plot. My goal isn't just to deliver a good story but to take the reader into the story and let them experience the characters as if they are right there with them.

While almost all my books have a romantic element, I will be the first to admit, they are not traditional romance. In fact, I'd like to think there is nothing traditional about them. And the stories I paint are done so way outside the lines of traditional genres. 

One of my favorite things to do as a writer is push the boundaries of what makes a story and to deliver the unexpected and maybe even change the perspective of the reader. 

My characters are more often than not, beautifully flawed, not always the good guy, and make mistakes. Their stories will take dark turns which, in the end, make the light at the end of the tunnel all the brighter.

If you're looking for something different, exciting, and unique, my books are for you. 

Check out my website for updates and how to contact me. I love hearing from fans.
