Congratulations to Crystal Storm

Congratulations to author Crystal Storm on having her science fiction Synarchy Series turned into a television/web series! The first episode should air in early March 2013.

Thirteen bloodlines, The Roshaniya, fanatically loyal to their gods – the Anunnaki –  have controlled the planet since history was written. In 1925 Stefano Vasco Terenzio, head of the Terenzio crime family, makes a deal with the Anunnaki to solidify his control over the American Mafia. Stefano’s true goal was to put his family in a position so one day they would be able to turn on their masters.

But, what started out as an “ego trip” turned into a quest to give humanity a choice it has never been given. When allies become enemies, and the tenuous link holding together the one family that can save humankind shatters, can the Terenzios find the inner strength to finish what they started and expose the invisible chains that keep humanity down?

“I’ve always wanted to shoot something that talked about how the impossible is possible…” – Aaron Williams Producer/Director.

The first two books in the Synarchy Series are available from Amazon US, Amazon UK, and other online booksellers.

Sneak Peek: I Was a Teenage Devil

Today we have a sneak peek from author T.D. McKinnon’s book, I Was a Teenage Devil – But I’m Alright Now!

This is the continuing saga of Thomas who, after ‘Surviving the Battleground of Childhood’, attempting to escape his coal mining community roots, joins the British Army at just fifteen years of age. He continues to grow up through the second half of his teens, steeped in the elitism of the infamous ‘Red Devils’.

Searching for emotional validity, his trysts and affairs of the heart vary from fleeting, to sordid, to totally absorbing. On one occasion, when an old devil comes a calling (a sexual predator, disguised as a senior, RAF officer), Thomas decides to commit the ultimate sin!

I Was a Teenage Devil – But I’m Alright Now! is available at Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Smashwords and other major online retailers.

Here is an excerpt from I Was a Teenage Devil – But I’m Alright Now!… Continue reading “Sneak Peek: I Was a Teenage Devil”

Michael James Gallagher Announces New Title

Author Michael James Gallagher is pleased to announce the release of his new espionage thriller, Tsunami Connection.

A Mossad sleeper, the clever and striking protagonist, Kefira, stumbles into a deadly world domination plot. A diabolical Russian Oligarch devises a frighteningly effective weapon of mass destruction, while the CIA knowingly lingers and procrastinates to see if the weapon’s target succumbs. An evil Fenian terrorist goes rogue during the ‘Arab Spring’ in a destabilized Middle East. All the while, a despotic Russian President plots in an effort to influence prices in crude oil markets. To top it off, a sinister, though little known, powerful, yet clandestine, Chinese General watches events, waiting to pounce, using a new, highly secret weapon of mind control developed and tested on unwitting prisoners in the North Korean ‘Gulag’.

Tsunami Connection was released on January 2, 2013 and is currently available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
