FEATURED: Morgan’s Landing by Linda Griffin
Heather was taking a math test when Mr. Scarlett, the vice principal, called her out in the hall to ask if she knew where Julie was. He was unusually stern.
“She has Phys Ed this period,” Heather said. Shouldn’t he know that?
“She’s not in class,” Mr. Scarlett said. “She wasn’t in Computer Applications first period, either. Your mother says she didn’t stay home sick.”
“No, she left before I did,” Heather said. She was mystified, and as the situation sank in, she experienced the first shudder of real fear. Julie liked school, and she would never cut classes. Their parents would kill them if they even thought of such a thing. They were not overly strict, but they were firm in their expectations that their daughters would always do the right thing.
She dug her cell phone, silenced during class, out of her purse, and dialed her sister’s number. It rang four times and went to voicemail. “It’s me,” she said. “Where are you? Call when you get this.”

I knew I wanted to be a “book maker” as soon as I learned to read and wrote my first story at the age of six. My passion for the printed word also led me to a career with the San Diego Public Library. I retired to spend more time on my writing and have had stories published in numerous literary journals Morgan’s Landing is my tenth book from The Wild Rose Press. In addition to the three R’s–reading, writing, and research–I enjoy travel, movies, Scrabble, and visiting museums and art galleries.
Featured Post: Now is the Time of Monstes by A.G. Mock
INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING THRILLER AUTHOR
In his own words, A.G. Mock’s calling is to introduce you to his imaginary friends…and then subject them to the unfathomable horrors in his head. After all, what’s more intimate than a little shared terror between friends?
“I was haunted from a very young age and those specters just never went away,” admits Mock. “They follow me wherever I go. Aware. Hungry. Desperate for validation. So, I can’t really say that I’m a writer. All I do is let them out, and they do the rest. I just watch and record the mayhem.”
A.G. Mock is a two-time American Fiction Awards winner and a full professional working member of the Horror Writers Association and International Thriller Writers. He is a guest at several horror and thriller conventions, and regularly appears on panels alongside Clay McLeod Chapman (Wake Up and Open Your Eyes), John Russo (Night of the Living Dead) and others!

Featured Post: In still waters by Natalie Shpet
The author says:
“This book is not just a thriller – it is something more that makes us think about the actions and essence of the person himself! that one is truly not born a murderer, but one who becomes one.”
She continues ‘In my youth, I wrote scripts for school plays, and my literature teacher said that I had immense talent and should write my own book. To be honest, I took it as a joke and nothing more. However, in 2023, when my husband and I watched films (I won’t reveal the titles; I want readers to piece together this puzzle over time), I can only say that Jonathan Rhys Meyers starred in one of the films, while Jake Gyllenhaal starred in the other. That’s why I dedicated my book “In Still Waters” to them! Thanks to Jake, my character Toby Clark was born, and thanks to Jonathan, Milosh Dobrev came to life.’
About the author:
Natalie Shpet was born and raised in Moscow, now lives in the suburbs in a house with her large family. Natalie and her husband have four children. The writer has two higher educations: psychologist and manager. During her school years, Natalie wrote scripts for plays and therefore her school literature teacher said that she had enormous talent, and she needed to write books! In 2023, Natalie began writing her first novel, In Still Waters.
Featured Post: The Price of a Future by Jackie Ross Flaum
A hint of romance, a fight worth risking everything for, and a pair of engaging leading characters–—that’s the kind of book I like to read so that’s the kind I write.
When I’m not writing, I am a water aerobics enthusiast, amateur jewelry maker, struggling bridge player, and devoted grandmother.I grew up in Kentucky, went to college at the University of Georgia where I had way too much fun, and graduated from the University of Kentucky. After college, I worked for the Associated Press then became a reporter for “The Hartford Courant” in Connecticut. My two daughters were born there. My newspaperman husband got a job in Memphis and we moved there. I became a freelance speechwriter, publicist, and marketing person for major local companies, but my favorite gigs were with the Memphis City Schools and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. I retired, and began doing what I’d wanted to do since sixth grade: write fiction.
I wrote short stories that appeared in such anthologies as “Now There Was a Story”, “Low Down Dirty Vote II and III”, “Mayhem in Memphis,” and “Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem”. Since I liked short stories, I tried my hand at a longer form and wrote a novella of love and murder, “The Yellow Fever Revenge.” What I really wanted to write a novel, and so was born the civil rights era suspense/thriller series, Sterling Brothers Ltd. So far the series includes “Justice Tomorrow,” “The Price of a Future,” and coming soon, “Wigs, Mustaches, and Other Disguises”.
Since every writer needs a support group, I am the immediate president of Malice in Memphis a Killer Writing Group.

Featured Book: Crown of Ruin by Grace Yarrow
Dark Romantasy Author | Lover of Gothic Decay & Forbidden Kisses
Grace Yarrow writes hauntingly romantic tales where love is a blade, shadows whisper secrets, and every crown comes with a curse. When she isn’t wandering mist-shrouded manors in her imagination, she can be found sipping black tea with too much honey, collecting antique keys (just in case one opens a portal), and arguing with her cat about whether haunted libraries need ghosts to be interesting.
Her stories are for those who crave love stories drenched in moonlight and danger—where the monsters are just as likely to steal your heart as your soul.
Currently residing in a creaky old house that may or may not be sentient.

Featured Book: Bucket List Travel Getaways AFRICA! by Anita E Crist
A seasoned traveler herself, your author has been to, seen, tasted many areas of the world that most folks only dream about, write about, or have no clue about! She started her career as a Special Education teacher, but due to familial circumstances, had to change her career path, and chose the travel industry when her four children were mere toddlers.

Held back by working for employers, Anita began one of the first online travel agencies in the 1990s, which is now the most popular way to conduct travel business.
One thing that she holds dear in all of her 45+ years of travel is the importance of the traveler…that is why this book is written for you, the reader, to open your minds, your heart, and your sense of belonging to a world that God put here for you to become a part of. So get your bags packed, select a destination, and get out there to share what life is all about!
