Conspiracy Washed Up by Cynthia Woods (5 Reviews)    Price verified 9 minutes ago

Mila's life, while picture perfect through a camera lens, has been anything but easy. Despite the loss of her mother when she was young, Mila tried to be a woman of whom her physician father could be proud. She, therefore, followed her father's example and chose to help people via a career in nursing. Unfortunately, after seeing people suffering day in and day out, enduring her own personal hardships, and then witnessing the horrific death of her brother, nursing became too much of an emotional challenge. Having successfully changed careers, Mila nearly conquered her daily struggle to come to terms with the violent world from which she'd isolated herself. Mila thought she'd finally reached a balance between life and living in this chaotic world. Content with that existence, the unexpected appearance of an injured stranger on her doorstep shakes the very foundation of her hard-earned serenity. How could she possibly refuse him aid? She couldn't. Little did Mila know that her aid would take her places she never thought she'd want to go, reveal long buried secrets, test the bonds of friendship, shatter her family, and open her heart to a man she barely knew.

Things are about to get bad, and I don't understand how or why. I'm in a new place, with no pre-existing connections. I've developed a life for myself where no one could suspect a thing out of the ordinary. I fit in - or at least try to. But here I am, ready to run. Let's just hope I do so in time. *** Oliver I didn't ask to be in these shoes. In fact, I was thoroughly looking forward to a life of little more than personal responsibility.

I just hope we are ready, and I am capable of protecting those that are relying on me.

THE KATERINA ICON by Robert Mitchell (31 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Two young Australians, following the Volga River on the small cruise ship Maxim Gorky, rescue an old man drowning in its icy waters. In gratitude he gives them an early 20th Century icon which he swears contains a code giving directions to the hiding place of priceless icons looted from the imperial palace in Saint Petersburg, during the early years of the Russian Revolution, icons which were secreted somewhere within the monastery at Goritsy, a monastery they had passed not long after they had dragged the old man from the river. The lock of one of their suitcases is found to be broken when they arrive back in Australia. Nothing has been stolen. The icon does not seem to have been touched and they mistakenly pass it off as having been done by Customs somewhere within Russia. It is not until the icon is accidentally knocked from a table and pieces fly off that the secret is revealed. The old Cossack was right. There was a secret within the icon. And, foolishly, one of them writes to the old man telling him what they have found, forgetting that the old Russian does not live alone. The decision is made to travel to Russia in the middle of winter and break into the Monastery, into the place where the icons were concealed over a hundred years ago, knowing there is a risk that they might already have been found, but not even thinking that there might be others waiting for them, others who desire the Katerina Triptych, the favourite icon of Catherine the Great, an icon which would be worth millions. It is freezing as they crunch across the frozen lake towards the white walls of the monastery, peering through the misty darkness, searching for the square tower and then the square building described in the sheets of paper taken from the icon. And at last their attention is focussed on the high embrasure through which the old Cossack's grandfather was lifted into the monastery, taking the icons with him. They don't see the two figures far back on the lake, hidden by the mist. ...

Dixie climbed up too and then she proclaimed loud and strong, "The players must strike with a downward angle so that the ball enters the giant stone trough. Be careful that it does not bounce out. It is impossible to play the hole in the valley below the four tier aqueduct. I have it on good report that the valley floor is inhabited by carnivorous reptiles."

Flesh Machine: The Story by Stjepan Krešimir Kračun (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

INTRODUCTION A young man is murdered at the subway station in the early hours of the morning. The victim was strangled, skinned, and the perpetrator then proceeded to remove his brain from his skull. The gruesome crime was captured on security cameras, and this leads to a quick arrest of a peculiar man. He calls himself 'the assembly' to which the latest additions were a new brain and skin from the man he had just murdered, or so he claims. Rushing in to unravel this outlandish story is a self-loathing misanthropic lawyer Dave who begins to tell us his story of his encounter with Sam, as 'the assembly' prefers to be called. Dave sees this case as a chance he's been waiting for all his life - to get out of public office (and his own narcissistic mind) and into fame and fortune that he believes will be the solution to all of this life's problems - and he has many - so many that his whole life is one big problem. But our dear Sam has other plans: for himself and Dave. As Dave meets Sam, after reading all the case files about him that defy both science as well as common sense, he is drawn into a conversation he did not expect, but Sam had carefully planned. Who's on the therapist's couch now? If the psychopath becomes the therapist and the common man becomes the psychopath - what is the conclusion? What is the resolution? Dave sets out to reel in a big reward, but he ends up getting more than he bargained for. FROM THE PREFACE Dancing on the edge of order and chaos, logic and paradox, comedy and tragedy, meaning and absurdity - the characters of this story hang in the balance, but not for very long. As I was writing this book and initially aimed to preserve this balance - I decided to identify the end-line of almost all extremes, linger there for awhile in mischievous deliberation, and then not only cross the line but jump over it with a running start and finish it off with a somersault. With that said, it's worth noting that nothing is off-limits in this book. ...

millennYELL: diatribes of self-discovery by Bryan Wright (Historia|Research Press) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

millennYELL: diatribes of self-discovery is a collection of poems intending to complicate the characterization of millennials as naively hopeful or as helplessly impotent. Bryan D. Wright's first book of poetry sweeps the personal, political, social, and cultural minefields left behind by the culture warriors of America's previous generations. His poems are a lament for the loss of the commonweal during the past thirty years of American life and culture -- while also being a rally cry to take action and seek meaning in the alienation pervading American society at the outset of the twenty-first century. Mr. Wright's poems in millennYELL are presented under four main themes of poetic expression - nihilism, longing, despair, and promise - each separated by a timeline of related events in American history from 1990 to 2020. His poetry grapples with key adversities for young adults: the tenuous grounds on which human meaning and action rest, the risks associated with desiring something over nothing, the anxiety that accompanies the pursuit of goals and values, and the latent (and dismal) prospects for success at the outset of every lifetime of endeavor. The poems - disquieting, exacting, and poignant - express key moments of personal anguish and insight that interrupted his prolonged inner dialog on the meaning of adulthood for the first generation to shape the next century and next millennium.

In Feynman and Boyd, the reverse occurs. The Trinity test fails due to a previously unidentified counter-reaction, where something in the natural world snuffs out combustion.

His Southern Comfort (Firefly Island: Southern Comfort Book 1) by Melanie Shawn (1,612 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Billy "Panty Dropper" Comfort That's what people call me... Growing up with the last name Comfort meant that I'd inherited a legacy. In our small town, the older generation of Comfort men were known for three things: hard work, boozing, and tragedy. Some believed the latter was due to a curse that doomed every male in our bloodline to lose his true love tragically. I was of the mind that our fates were in our own hands. With my father's passing, my brothers and I were the new generation of Comfort men. We were also known for three things: fighting, flirting, and another F word that I'd never use in mixed company. My oldest brother was the fighter, my baby brother was the flirt, and that left me. I'd earned the nickname Panty Dropper by the time I was legally allowed to drink. It never bothered me much, until the day I laid eyes on a woman that made me want to be a better man. The only question was, would she see the real me, or would my past and the curse be too much... even for fate? Reagan "Runaway Bride" York That's what people were calling me... Growing up with a single mom who cared more about her next boyfriend than things like paying the electric bill, I was determined to create a stable, respectable life for myself as an adult.

Ink Stains, Volume 6: A Dark Fiction Literary Anthology by J.S. Watts (21 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

In life, we draw many lines -- between good and evil, guilt and innocence, real and unreal, life and death. And having drawn these lines, we cross them because humanity is curious, careless, devious, and, sometimes, downright wicked. So what happens if you cross the line? Does it change you and what is waiting on the other side? In Ink Stains, Volume 6, ten authors explore what it means to cross the line and the price we pay to do it. This collection of short stories range from fantasy through science fiction to horror and from the fantastical to the grit of day-to-day life. Join writers Monica Carter, George Kelly, Alison Garsha, Ken Goldman, Elana Gomel, Christopher Locke, Morrison, Thomas Olbert, Evan Purcell, and Nicole Tanquary as they step over the line to find what waits on the other side. Praise for Ink Stains "Wow! This anthology of Dark Fiction really packs a punch! Ten strong stories without a dud in the bunch. This is my first brush with Dark Alley Press and I sure hope it won't be the last because they are bringing some serious talent to the table. " Brian James Lewis, Hellnotes.com Ink Stains, a quarterly dark fiction and horror anthology published by Dark Alley Press, is about shining a stark light on the shadows of life, exploring those dimly lit corridors, and unearthing those long-buried secrets. We don't believe good will always triumph over evil or that someone will always be around to save the day. Sometimes all we have is ourselves. And the stories that keep us turning the page.
