Ross Lamos has built his career dealing Asian art and antiquities by keeping his very useful psychic touch a deep secret. Then three carved Chinese jades from an ancient Dynasty come into Ross’ gallery. Holding one in his hands throws Ross into the scene of a political assassination – from the victim’s point of view. He wakes up back in his gallery knowing that if his Buddhist faith is correct about reincarnation, he is a suspect in a 2,000-year-old-murder … and the woman who brought him the jades, Valerie L, was there.
To make things worse, the three fabulously valuable jades have no provenance documents to prove they legally exist – and dealers in the antiquities black market are in pursuit. To protect the jades, Valerie L and his career, Ross must stalk Valerie L and get legal possession of the stones in any way he can.
But past lives want payback, and Ross is forced to become a Karmic Detective to help Valerie L return the jades to their rightful owners.

Ross will risk his career and sanity in his quest, which finally reveals his long-ago role in a love story that changed the course of a Dynasty. As he steals the chance to hold each jade and experience its story, Ross falls into the lives of an extraordinary Concubine beloved by both an Emperor and his son, a scheming Wife obsessed with becoming Empress, and the Poet caught between them all. Their story was hidden for 2,000 years in two jade rings and a magnificent sword, three pieces of jade – the Stone of Heaven – yü.

Going Below The Water’s Edge : Ronald Fehribach
Going Below The Water’s Edge
GOING BELOW THE WATER’S EDGE To an observer looking upon the water’s surface, most of an iceberg is below the water and cannot be seen. An iceberg may have eight or nine times as much ice below the water’s edge as there is above. After the military, I had plenty of military benefits to enable me to get a masters degree. I chose the area of psychology. The degree was not as important as the reason why I chose that route.
Remember that plane crash? Well, it was during a time of many other deaths. The body had been thrown through the propellers and diced up like meat at the supermarket rack. As the police body-bagged the person, I watched the dogs feed on many of the scattered remains. Approximately one year after this incident, I was flying in a plane out of Ohio. The lights flickered on and off and the pilot told the passengers not to worry. Next the engines began to reeve. Then all became deathly quiet. We were going down! As we prepared for a crash, I sat back in my seat as my life passed before me in quick flashes than in longer segments. To our benefit, I looked out the window and saw the ground approaching and the welcomed sight of ambulances and fire trucks scattered around the runway. We glided down the airport runway — we made it! The flight was later being booked to another plane, but I had enough of flying for that day and instead took a car home.
The hell had been scared out of me. The last plane crash I had witnessed made me totally aware of the potential dangers that existed, yet, the fears that I experienced during that flight opened a totally new area of awareness in me such as being fully aware that mentally we were more than the current moment: Mentally, we are like an iceberg wherein only the tip is above the water and somewhat understood. Below the water lies a mass of which we are almost not even aware of – yet it is the mass that often moves us.
Even though I’d often experienced tremendous pressures and endured unexpected crises, it took this crisis to bring about extreme pressure and fear to make me aware of its existence.
By the time I’d hit my late twenties, I’d explored much of the world’s geographical areas and observed varied social cultures. It was my desire to look behind the scenes whereby I gained an insight into understanding situations that most people have difficulty relating to. I scuba dived to explore oceans and had been sucked out of jets in airborne military exercises. Yet, the greatest exploration and adventure was awaiting — the journey into the inner self. Or as to the iceberg comparison – GOING BELOW THE WATER’S EDGE.

A Taint on Texas : Sally McClain
A Taint on Texas
Over the Texas landscape lies the bloody stain of a forgotten defeat.
Commemorated only by a lone monument is the death of Cherokee Principle Man, Duwal’li, executed on July 16, 1839 while leading a pan-tribal resistance of 800 warriors. The fight that took his life is called “The Battle of the Neches,” but to those who know the full story, it was truly a massacre.
Duwal’li’s troubles with foreign settlers began in 1773 with the slaying of his father. It ended in his heroic attempt to secure land titles for the Cherokees and the associated tribes he represented. Faced with deceit and bigotry at every turn, Duwal’li’s struggle turned to tragedy when he was forced to confront the army of the newly formed Republic of Texas.

Dark Digital Sky : Carac Allison
Dark Digital Sky
LA Private Investigator Chalk has pulp fiction ink in his veins. But he brings more than gumshoe wisecracks to the new noir landscape. The tools of his trade are an unregistered Glock, a Porsche 911 and the hacker hardware to read your emails and listen in on your phone calls.
“Dark Digital Sky” is the first in the Dark Pantheon series. It starts with a job to find three adult sons fathered through a sperm bank. But then the brothers connect to a violent underworld heist. They become the critical link to a domestic terrorist stealing pharmaceutical drugs for veterans. And this madman is planning a video game style attack against the nation.
These are quotes from crime blogs and zines:
“The next generation of PI has arrived and his name is Chalk.”
-Crime Thriller Hound
“Fresh. Fast. Innovative. A cyberpunk revival of 1950’s hardboiled crime.”
-Mav Skye, Pulp Metal Magazine
“A geeky technothriller for the 21st Century.”
-Marika, Mystery Sequels
“‘Dark Digital Sky’ is probably the closest we’ll ever get to a model of ‘geek noir.’ It’s a must-read for anyone looking for a distinctive, unique literary voice.”
-Blog THIS Pal
This is a small sample of what readers are saying on Amazon:
“Imagine if Phillip Marlowe’s genes were spliced with Sherlock Holmes in this day and age. You’d end up with the anti-hero of this book, the brilliant, if heavily troubled, cynical gumshoe named Chalk.”
-Rick Gualtieri
“ . . .Chalk is decidedly like Marlowe or Mickey Spillane, Lew Archer or Sam Spade: you want him on your side when the chips are down.”
-E. Lee Zimmerman
“Carac has erected a whole new temple unto crime, which sets the bar extremely high for others wishing to imitate Carac’s genius.”
-D. West ‘Bones’

An Unplanned Encounter : Jonathan R. Husband
An Unplanned Encounter, Two Lives Forever Changed
The new historical fiction book “An Unplanned Encounter, Two Lives Forever Changed” by Jonathan R. Husband is based on true events. In the book a young British woman Mary Louise struggles for self-respect and safety in the aftermath of a sexual attack. The assault is instigated by the lodger living with her parents who is in charge of constructing a nearby bomber airfield during 1943 in the North of England. When Mary Louise learns she is pregnant, she fights to keep the child and raise him alone.
For thirty years the aftershock of that terrifying night continues to shake her world and that of the protagonist. With ordinary lives thrown into chaos, complex human relations run rampant. In her fierce determination to survive and thrive, Mary Louise will discover just how strong she is. The father of her son will discover that he can physically walk away from the situation he has created, but that the circumstances will haunt him for the remainder of his life.
Using carefully researched historic backcloths to the story from the 1940’s to the early 1970’s in England and California, the novel delivers inspiring and thought-provoking insights into a woman’s right to choose, how non-consensual actions can have consequences that can last a lifetime, how advances in medical science have changed lives, and how the bombing strategy of German-occupied Europe during World War II has its parallels today. An exceptionally well written and original novel, it is hard to believe that this book is only the first one written by Jonathan R. Husband.
