You have this dream that one day you will meet this wonderful person and you will live happily ever after, just like in the fairy tales. But this is not one of those stories, because this is not a fairy tale… Based on true events, Dark Betrayal tells the seemingly simple story of a young mother searching for her Prince Charming. Instead, she is unexpectedly pulled into a life-changing nightmare of emotional violence, complete instability, and the loss of everything she holds most dear, including her three beautiful children. Through profound despair and total isolation from beloved family and friends, she struggles with the will to survive. But just when things seem darkest, God is there, lighting up the shadows and leading her back to him…

Book Description

A story that garnered national attention, this is the harrowing tale of two men who suffered abuses at a reform school in Florida in the 1950s and 60s, and who banded together fifty years later to confront their attackers. Michael O'McCarthy and Robert W. Straley were teens when they were termed "incorrigible youth" by authorities and ordered to attend the Florida School for Boys. They discovered in Marianna, the "City of Southern Charm," an immaculately groomed campus that looked more like an idyllic university than a reform school. But hidden behind the gates of the Florida School for Boys was a hell unlike any they could have imagined. The school's guards and administrators acted as their jailers and tormentors. The boys allegedly bore witness to assault, rape, and possibly even murder. For fifty years, both men---and countless others like them---carried their torment in silence. But a series of unlikely events brought O'McCarthy, now a successful rights activist, and Straley together, and they became determined to expose the Florida School for Boys for what they believed it to be: a youth prison with a century-long history of abuse. They embarked upon a campaign that would change their lives and inspire others. Robin Gaby Fisher, a Pulitzer Prize--winning journalist and author of the New York Times bestselling After the Fire, collaborates with Straley and O'McCarthy to offer a riveting account of their harrowing ordeal. The book goes beyond the story of the two men to expose the truth about a century-old institution and a town that adopted a Nuremberg-like code of secrecy and a government that failed to address its own wrongdoing. What emerges is a tale of strength, resolve, and vindication in the face of the kinds of terror few can imagine.

Book Description

David Horowitz spent the first part of his life in the world of the Communist-progressive left, a politics he inherited from his mother and father, and later in the New Left as one of its founders. When the wreckage he and his comrades had created became clear to him in the mid-1970s, he left. Three decades of second thoughts then made him this movement’s principal intellectual antagonist. “For better or worse,” as Horowitz writes in the preface, “I have been condemned to spend the rest of my days attempting to understand how the left pursues the agendas from which I have separated myself, and why.” When Horowitz began his odyssey, the left had already escaped the political ghetto to which his parents’ generation and his own had been confined. Today, it has become the dominant force in America’s academic and media cultures, electing a president and achieving a position from which it can shape America’s future. How it achieved its present success and what that success portends are the overarching subjects of Horowitz’s conservative writings. Through the unflinching focus of one singularly engaged witness, the identity of a destructive movement that constantly morphs itself in order to conceal its identity and mission becomes disturbingly clear. Horowitz reflects on the years he spent at war with his own country, collaborating with and confronting radical figures like Huey Newton, Tom Hayden and Billy Ayers, as he made his transition from what the writer Paul Berman described as the American left’s “most important theorist” to its most determined enemy.

When we finally unravel the mystery of dark matter, will it save our world? Or destroy it? Take an epic journey to a not-so-distant future, controlled by a handful of the über-elite. Where wealth, science, and the human spirit get one last chance to determine humanity's ultimate destiny. Despite the tragic events at Hanssen Scientific, Monique Durand and her newfound companions continue their search for the source of her compelling visions. Are they somehow linked to the secrets of dark matter, as Professor Hanssen is so desperate to believe? Or does the truth reach even deeper-into our Universe's past, and our planet's ultimate future? To find out, they'll need to outwit the Consortium, a secretive group of trillionaires who now have what they need to achieve their own, long-awaited end-game. Together, our unlikely heroes may finally have what it takes to break the Consortium's stranglehold. Assuming they don't strangle each other first.

Praise for Dark Matters Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Gold Medal Winner in Science Fiction Independent Publisher's IPPY Gold Medal Winner in Science Fiction NextGen Indie Book of the Year Winner in Science Fiction "It's everything I love in a novel: scientific speculation, stunning action, and characters that leap off the page. But best of all, it combines all of the above into a seamless, thrilling story. Don't miss this debut!" James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Bone Labyrinth "... nefarious and chilling ... that's what makes it a page-turner." FOREWORD REVIEWS "An interesting premise...not your typical action oriented sci-fi adventure." SFFWORLD ABOUT THE BOOK Dark Matters is a thought-provoking technothriller, set in a world fully polarized by the rift between the haves and the have-nots. It is a world of extraordinary new technologies-but also one of dwindling natural resources, and an ever-swelling human population. Dark Matters offers a unique, entertaining, and (mostly) fictional perspective on the topics of income inequality, the responsibilities of wealth, and our ultimate role in the universe. Dark Matters: Betrayal is the second book in the trilogy.

Book Description

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF ESQUIRE’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.

In the power struggle between two elite groups, one feisty girl will bring them to their knees... He thinks he's broken me. That I'm finally under his complete control. But I'm biding my time, gathering intel, making plans, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. So, when an unexpected savior appears--offering me a way out--I grasp it with both hands. But the man I love refuses to let me go, and he's hell-bent on protecting me at all costs. Except he's far too late. Kaiden's betrayal fuels the anger flowing through my veins, and now our roles are reversed--I'm the hunter, and he's my prey. I enjoy torturing him, lying to him, and letting him believe in false truths that were never our reality. Until the stakes are raised, and I'm forced into playing their game again. Only this time, it's not just my life hanging in the balance. I thought he'd done his worst. That he didn't have the power to hurt me anymore. But I was wrong. His depravity knows no bounds, and now, he's taken everything from me. This time, it means war, and I'm taking no prisoners. This is book two of three and it's not a standalone read.
