FEATURED ARTICLE: Anna DeStefano—A Dynamic Force
May 19, 2011 | 
Author Award winning and National Bestselling Anna DeStefano debuted in 2004 and since then has publish over FOURTEEN award winning novels. No small feat for a wife and mother, but then during that time she was also was president of Georgia Romance Writers, a group of over three hundred authors and aspiring writers, taught writing workshops to over sixty groups, plus continued aspects of her corporate career, and played competitive tennis for starters. There are those who’d say they’d expect nothing less from this Georgia Tech honors graduate and IT guru. Can I just say dynamic again?
I for one just stand in awe and say “You go, Girl!” because the story doesn’t end there. Anna writes romance, romantic suspense, and paranormal romantic suspense with a gripping emotional edge that has her readers clinging to the pages of her books. Innovative concepts and unexpected twists and turns keep your heart racing and your pulse pounding in a world where dreams are used as weapons and who you think you can trust is the one person you need to fear the most.

FEATURED ARTICLE: Brad Parks- Nobody Does it Better
EYES OF THE INNOCENT hit the shelves recently and reviewers are raving about book two in the Carter Ross Mystery Series. The envious praise for Brad Parks’ skill at writing both humor and suspense inspired me to do a little investigative reporting myself.
You see, the hero of FACES OF THE GONE and EYES OF THE INNOCENT is Carter Ross, an investigative reporter with a highbrow education and a nose for trouble. Carter is intriguingly described as a dashing six-foot-one man with brown hair and blue eyes, who is funny and brave. So, you can understand why I had to snoop around for the guy, right? I mean what woman can resist such a combination.
I’m still looking for the man, but I did learn that Carter Ross was “born and raised in well-to-do Millburn. He attended some of New Jersey’s finest prep schools then spent four years at Amherst College. Still in his early 30′s, he has landed a plum gig: Investigative reporter at The Newark Eagle-Examiner, a job that plunges this white-shoe WASP into some of “the seamiest places the city has to offer.”
FEATURED ARTICLE: JJ Cooper’s “Deadly Trust”
JJ Cooper comes at you with lethal force in book two of his Jay Ryan military thrillers. New York Times bestselling master of suspense, Lee Child cites JJ’s books as "Raw, tough, and uncompromising–exactly what a great thriller needs to be."
DEADLY TRUST, “Former army interrogator Jay Ryan is enjoying the quiet life after leaving the military far behind – or so he thinks. Because old habits die hard and he’s quickly thrust back into the thick of things when a disgruntled scientist, backed by the Australian security industry, develops a weapon of mass destruction – a hybrid strain of Anthrax – to be used to create panic in a population apathetic to crime prevention.
Only one batch of Anthrax inoculations can resist the deadly new strain, and it was given to five military interrogators. One of them was Jay Ryan. When the other four disappear, Ryan is the last interrogator left with the antibodies to defeat the deadly Anthrax strain.
Racing against time and hunted by rogue soldiers, mad scientists and an organisation that operates beyond the law, Ryan digs deep into his past for a chance at a future.
In this heartstopping thriller, Jay Ryan wages a one-man war against enemies both known and unseen. There’s only person he can trust – or can he? Winning the war may have devastating consequences for the last interrogator…”

REVIEW: Susan Crandall’s “Sleep No More”
Sleepwalking can seem innocuous, even humorous, until you are the person afflicted.
Abby Whitman sleepwalked as a child, and was responsible for a family tragedy. As an adult she thought those horrible days were behind her, they weren’t.
A twisted tale of intricate family relationships, phobia, nightmares and a danger that lurks at the edge of the human mind all combing to make Susan Crandall’s latest novel her best yet. This is one of the few novels that kept me guessing until nearly the last page. A love interest in the sexy package of psychiatrist Dr. Jason Coble rounds out this sinister thriller.

FEATURED STORY: Robert Gregory Browne’s “Down Among The Dead”
Down Among The Dead
Heart-stopping suspense. Adrenaline pumping action. Robert Gregory Browne delivers deadly stories that you can’t put down and won’t ever forget. His latest book, DOWN AMONG THE DEAD MEN, delves into the search for a missing woman and uncovers a secret cult where worshiping can be…deadly.
The Day of the Dead – El Dia de los Muertos – when Mexico celebrates its lost loved ones. But for disgraced newspaper reporter, Nick Vargas, and attorney, Beth Crawford, it is not an occasion to celebrate. Nick, now a true crime writer, is determined to find the truth behind the slaughter of nuns in a deserted house in the desert, and Beth is desperate to find her younger sister, Jen, who disappeared without trace when they were on holiday in Mexico. Their quest for the truth leads them to a small town in Mexico where a mysterious and malevolent cult are known to perform sinister and deadly rituals. And now Beth and Nick know that they are being watched, and that their enemy is waiting for the right moment to strike . . .
Browne’s talent at telling nail-biting stories didn’t begin with his breathless debut novel KISS HER GOODBYE, but was honed in the grueling trenches of being a staff writer for TV and writing award-winning screenplays for the film industry. His experience, expert story-weaving skills, and shocking twists have paved the way for KISS HER GOODBYE to be the basis for the CBS television series, ATF, starring Dylan Walsh, Micheal Rapaprot, Terry Kinney and Sandrine Hold.
