The death appears to be linked to other cult rituals, and similar reports have recently surfaced in England, Peru, and other mystical places around the globe. An authority on the occult, Christine's search for the truth leads her to Sedona, Arizona, a picturesque artist colony and center of New Age activity. With the help of John Delarosa, an artist and former New Ager, she follows a trail of clues that implicate influential members of the community. But Christine, a skeptic and an agnostic, is not prepared for the terrifying evil that surrounds her investigation. As she gets closer to the truth, she places herself in peril, both physically and spiritually. Can Christine uncover the evil forces behind the ritual murders before darkness destroys her very soul?

Siren's Throne


Book Description

Now that this siren has legs and a tail, she's going to use them... For good and bad, of course! There's no escaping this Princess of Atlantis or the coming storm. Save the world first, get some later. Being the somewhat-good guy is exhausting sometimes. The Ancients' world is under attack. The lips delivering this unexpected news to me are even more unexpected. They belong to Lokene, the charming and mischievous young man I fell in love with before my beloved Atlantis sank into the sea. The Ancients have sent him to request my aid because he's my mate, and they think I will listen to him. Did I mention Lokene is an Ancient? Oh, and he has the ability to give me legs, and take them away, at will. I swear he's enjoying this. If I could train my great white shark, Sheba, I'd be teaching her to nip his butt. Look, these new legs are great, but I need to save the world right now... not be distracted by the thought of all the fun times this body and my five mates could have together. On top of that, I'm still on a seek and destroy mission in the human world for those under the soul-destroying power of the Lure. As if I didn't have enough on my plate, miners continue to destroy the ocean. Their actions are taking them closer and closer to the heart of Atlantis, and if the humans find it, the power they could unleash would rip the world apart. I'm hoping that Eason, Storm, Kye, and Fynn can help me stop them before it's too late. Last, but certainly not least, the floor of the ocean is angry, preparing to lash out. I'm not sure my wind and water abilities are strong enough to stop it from destroying entire cities and claiming countless lives. Let's hope I hear the call again soon. I really need to relieve some stress. All these sexy mates are distracting... but I have two worlds to save. And legs. I have legs now too. This paranormal reverse harem (why choose) romance is for 18+ readers. It contains steamy content and darker plot elements and themes (she likes to kill people, much to her mates' horror). This is not your typical bubbly mermaid tale! It's full of sexy scenes, humor, a coffee-addicted and slightly feral siren, and totally ripped guys you will want to sink your fangs into! It will have a HEA... eventually!




Storm Chaser


Book Description

“Olbinski chases storms . . . capturing lightning, tornadoes and dramatic cloud formations in images that convey the awesome power and beauty of nature.” —International Business Times The storms that cross the Great Plains of North America each spring are some of nature’s most spectacular. They can also be some of the most dangerous. Most people who live in areas susceptible to these storms keep a close eye on the weather reports and take cover or evacuate when one is on the way. Storm chasers keep an even closer eye on the weather data, but for a different reason: they don’t run away when they see a storm approaching, they follow it! Professional photographer and Emmy Award winner, Mike Olbinski has chased storms throughout his native Arizona, as well as even further afield, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. Whether he’s photographing lightning, tornadoes or even cloud formations, his remarkable images are able to convey nature in its most dramatic and impressive forms. With over 100 stunning colour photographs, this book brings together some of Mike’s most breathtaking images from the past five years as he describes his love of the open road and the thrill of capturing the perfect storm on film. “These pictures are truly fascinating; they show just how small we are and how little control we have over the environment and that these storms can pack a wallop. For fans of weather and spectacular photos, this is the book for you.” —San Francisco Book Review (5-star review) “A striking series of breath-taking pictures of nature lashing out from apocalyptic skies.” —Daily Mail Online
