Book Description

★★★The awe-inspiring love story of guilt, grief, love, and revenge ★★★ 'A guilt-ridden ex-boxer, haunted by his last fight is pushed back in the ring to face the current abusive heavyweight champion in a no love-lost openweight grudge match...' Salvatore ‘The Saviour’ DeLuca never stepped back into the ring after what he caused. Some “saviour” he is. Instead, he feels he is better off dead but doing that himself he feels is too light a sentence. His family does not speak to him, governed by that of the iron fist of his unforgiving family-proud father. All Tory lives for is the countryside farm where he works and the potwash he slaves over, not to mention alcohol and cigarettes. Such a sad guilt story for someone who once had the sporting world in his grasp and the girl of his dreams. But after an altercation with the current British heavyweight champion, Logan ‘The Devil’ Devlin, the fight goes viral. Word spreads fast throughout the boxing community. It becomes the talk of the town and media. People debate who would win. Who would win? People want this fight to headline the upcoming Everlast Openweight Grudge Match Tour arriving in the UK over Christmas. Middleweight Tory refuses until Logan and his heavy hand makes it more than personal. Revenge. The fight is on! “The Saviour” versus “The Devil” it is. Location? Nothing other than the London O2 Arena. A Box Office sell out! The whole world gets excited for Christmas Eve, not just for festivities, but for the most anticipated fight in years… ...and I welcome you to witness the spectacle… This fictional boxing lad literature is perfect for anyone who likes full-contact sports such as boxing, martial arts, UFC, bare-knuckle boxing (BKB), openweight bouts, and is fitting for young adults, teens, and adults.

Book Description

★★★ "…An epically Microscopic Adventure" ★★★ After the loss of his wife, inside poor Floyd Loveless’ body the Light escaping from his broken heart has caused destruction and dystopia for all his microscopic inhabitants. Viron, an evil dark virus lord dwells in the navel, reproducing in large numbers until it's time to strike the vulnerable break and vanquish any remaining Light. Eternal Darkness seems certain, when a small unsuspecting and potentially toxic B-cell on the run spots the billion-strong dark army preparing for all-out war, but can our little anti-hero raise the alarm before it's too late? Even if he does, the antibody clones he would produce to fight back could have adverse effects...the potential to turn on the Self. Join B and his companions on their fantastical wild ride as they journey all through the body with only one task in mind…to save Planet Floyd, which on a much-much larger scale, would give Floyd’s little daughter the best Christmas gift she could ever imagine…her father. Viron, believe it or not, is what actually happens to billions of new-born naïve B-Cells and T-Cells in our body and the challenges they face, which makes this story not only an exciting journey for all the family, but also educational and full of insight into the inner workings of our body on a fun, molecular level. It is truly remarkable!

The stakes couldn’t be higher in the newest novel in the New York Times bestselling, pulse-pounding Jane Yellowrock series. Jane Yellowrock is the queen of the vampires, and that makes her a target as she fights to maintain control and keep peace in the city of New Orleans. She has enemies at every turn, because vampires live forever, and they keep their grudges alive with them. That includes the Heir, the vampire sire of the Pellissier bloodline, which gave rise to Leo Pellissier himself—Jane’s old boss and the former master of the city. With the Heir and all the forces of darkness he can muster arrayed against her, Jane will need all the help she can get. She’ll find it in her city, her friends, her found family, and, of course, the Beast inside of her.
