Samantha Warren is a fantasy and science fiction author who spends her days immersed in

dragons, spaceships, and vampires. With her pet dragon, Anethesis, she ventured to the ends

of the universe, but the cost of space travel cut into her sock fetish fund, so she sold her ship

and returned home. When she isn’t writing, she’s milking cows or trying to feed them Pop-

Tarts. She spends a lot of time in her weed patch (aka: garden),

watching any show featuring Gordon Ramsay, or posting random

things on her blog.

Keep an eye out for her upcoming book towards the end of September or start of October!!

Elizabeth Chalker is still in the furnace of lifes' calamities and fighting the

good fight of faith and endurance, keeping her eyes on the prize of heaven.

Before serious, physical illness devestated her body, Elizabeth was on the

fast track as a successful psychologist and addictions specialist, working

with violent juvenile offenders and their families, near completion of her

third graduate degree. Her life is a testimony of faith that is steadfast and

remains no matter the seemingly dark, unjust, and treacherous circum-

stances of life. She resides in Lighthouse Point, Florida. Elizabeth continues

to minister to those in need and aspires to show God's glory through every

breath she takes.

Blood Bound By: Karina Gioertz

Once inseparable, Scott McCarthy and his cousins Ryan and Ben have been

alienated from each other for over a decade. When Tommy, the youngest of

the four cousins, is arrested for murder the McCarthy Boys turn to each other

once more, as they do the only thing that comes naturally ~ whatever it takes

to uncover the truth, regardless of the cost or consequence. As more secrets

rise to the surface and lies become unveiled, Scott clings tightly to the two

things he knows for certain. He had known killers and he had known Tommy.

The two did not overlap.

She Wulf

By Sheryl Steins

Annie Pearce runs through the city streets, chasing a demon she had never

seen before. After capturing the creature, she works to discover what it is and

how to destroy it. At the same time, a mystery man is located near the

demon’s location. This is no ordinary man. He is a Viking, from thirteen centu-

ries in the past.

When Annie is sent through an ancient time portal she learns of a prophecy

claiming it is she who must rid ancient England of the regenerating demons.

Annie struggles with her new destiny as she tries to figure out a way to destroy the un-killable demons and re-

turn home.

Annie and Cham as they set out to save the world one more time.

Evil Eternal

By: Hunter Shea

Sep 2, 2012

Only one priest can battle the ultimate evil!

An evil as ancient as time itself has arisen and taken root in New York City. Fa-

ther Michael, the mysterious undead defender of the Church, answers the call

to action from the Vatican, while Cain, a malevolent wraith that feeds on fear

and blood, has taken the life and form of the city's mayor and readies a demon-

ic army to ignite the apocalypse.

With an unlikely ally, Father Michael will prepare for the grim confrontation as

he grapples with his sworn duty to God and the shreds of humanity left beating

in his immortal heart. The time is ripe for Cain and the fulfillment of dark proph-

ecies. Father Michael must battle Cain and his horde of demons in a final show-

down that could very well herald the end of mankind.

My Share of Pain

By: Rahima Yasin

You were the only one

My heart ever spoke to

You left and it broke

Into myriad little pieces

What a traitor you emerged

From that shell of so-called

love

Its a wretched scene to sight

And now you applaud

For you have finally sought

The most awaited show

The sight of my bleeding heart

And to even imagine your love

Was ever mine to take

Alas! It was just an impending

dream

How I wish it was an incubus,

A nightmarish portion of my

night

This burden thats mine to bear

Weighs upon me like an excru-

ciating pain

Now I only care for the little

share

Of hope that overcomes my

despair.
