Author C.J. West with A Demon Awaits.

I'm a small town boy, turned big city technology manager, turned novelist. I spent my early years searching for an intellectual challenge, my adult years trying to find the humanity in technology and services that replaced people and now I'm right where I should be. I have a wonderful family, a new writing partner, my puppy Bella, and I love being with my kids out here in the suburbs and writing every day (and night). Life couldn't fit any better.

CJ West writes thrillers that feel like they're written about the family next door. Although his books are action-packed, each book explores a theme of character or faith. CJ attributes this combination to a strong Christian upbringing that valued piety and industriousness, but also athletic competition, shooting sports and an ability to live off the land.

Sin and Vengeance

, the first book in CJ's Randy Black series, was optioned for film by a screenwriting firm in early 2008. The screenplay, written by Marla Cukor, is complete and has drawn interest from a number of producers. A Demon Awaits, the second book in the series offers a major twist in the storyline and challenges readers to forgive Randy Black's mistakes and follow his journey in future novels.

CJ embraces social networking and keeps in touch with readers on MySpace, Goodreads and Facebook. He personally answers his messages and regularly posts updates on his work. Links to each of CJ's profiles are provided at http://www.22wb.com.

About A Demon Awaits

A Demon Awaits picks up the action from the last page of Sin and Vengeance and kicks it into a new gear. When the dust settles, Randy Black is left to question his faith and his humanity. He's turned away from his teachings and done horrific things. Now Randy is being held to account.

From the Back Cover

Randy Black wants to die...

Overcome with anger and grief after losing his parents, Randy Black plans to sacrifice himself to avenge them. He plots revenge for 10 years then destroys three families in spectacular fashion. Winemaking heir Charlie Marston takes the brunt of Randy's anger. Randy steals Charlie's dream career and burns his inheritance to the ground. When Randy's revenge is taken, his blood cools and his suicide mission takes an unexpected twist. Randy survives and doesn't know what to do next.

He clings to life...

Randy sees his future. Horrific torture lies ahead if he doesn't change course. He's given a chance to atone for his mistakes and he latches on. The solitary life of a predator glares back from his empty address book. Without friends or family, Randy is left alone to rediscover The Way. One question haunts his every step: Is he worthy of forgiveness?

But now he's the one being played...

Just as Randy befriended Charlie Marston to tear his life apart, defense attorney Tom Gold wrests control of Randy's future. Randy is consumed by his quest to redeem himself until he discovers his every move is being manipulated. Randy is ready to strike back, but the rules have changed. Sin carries weighty consequences in the afterlife and Randy is out of second chances.

Book Description

From the moment Randy Black appears in CJ West's novel, Sin and Vengeance, he is consumed with a lust for revenge. Randy is so obsessed that he plans to sacrifice himself to destroy the man who has taken his rightful place. Randy delivers retribution in spectacular fashion, but his suicide mission takes an unexpected twist. Randy survives, his blood cools, and he doesn't know what to do next.

A Demon Awaits is the second book in the Randy Black series and as the book opens Randy sees his future. Horrific torture lies ahead if he doesn't change course. He's given a chance to atone for his mistakes. He latches on and begins the difficult journey to rebuild the life that tragedy stole from him 15 years earlier, but questions haunt his every step. Is he worthy of forgiveness? Can God forgive him? Can he forgive himself?

Earthly trials impede Randy at every turn. Randy is threatened and beaten. He's repeatedly tempted to lash out and undo the spiritual progress he's made. Randy resists only to discover that he's being manipulated by Tom Gold, his own defense attorney. Finally, Randy is ready to strike back, but there are limits to what he can do. Sin carries weighty consequences in the afterlife and Randy is out of second chances.

Author Elizabeth Eagan Cox with A Ghost of A Chance.

Cozy Paranoramal Mystery Novel.

Elizabeth Eagan Cox has penned dozens of corporate histories for some of America's most prestigious companies, including: Ayres Hotel Group, Billabong USA, Cabo Yachts Inc., Forever 21, Matsushita Avionics and TXI Cement Mfg. Co. Elizabeth was a columnist for Old California Gazette and she is a former school librarian. She enjoys digging up intriguing stories about history and incorporating these facts in her writing. In A GHOST OF A CHANCE she used many elements of history to bring the story to life, including the study of late-nineteenth century sleight-of-hand magic, Victorian architecture, and details regarding California's founding Hispanic culture.

Elizabeth is a member of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and the worldwide Irish Clann Mac Aodhagain.

About 'going green': This book is based on a short story I sold to a British e-zine several years ago. When I decided to use the short story as the building block for a novel I knew I would want it published by a reputable royalty-paying e-book publisher. I was delighted when www.ebooksonthe.net offered me a contract.

But why choose e-book publishing over hardprint? For me it was a logical way to have a positive Eco-friendly impact… A way of doing something good for the environment. E-book reading is not for everyone, but it is viable option that has significant results over hardprint publishing:
No trees are cut down.
No paper manufacturing with use of toxic chemicals is needed.
No energy is spent in the transporting and warehousing of books and transporting to point-of-sale bookstores.
No energy is spent in purchasing books because a person can do it from a home computer. And now, a host of manufacturers offer handheld e-book readers at a variety of prices. Eco-friendly e-books are becoming more accessible to everyone and e-books costs less than their mass-market paperback competition.

I believe life is a journey, as we travel let us take memories and leave no harmful footprints – EEC.

Synop:

A GHOST of a CHANCE
Shannon Delaney's writing assignment in San Diego opens new doors for her young career. She has no idea that her temporary home, the Victorian-era Blackthorne House mansion is a portal to a century-old mystery. On her first night a ghostly encounter entangles her in the spectral mission of the mansion's original owner—Eric Blackthorne, master magician.

Complicating matters is Alex Blackthorne, handsome and charming descendent of the ghostly magician. Also, there's Zach Zavala, who has guy-next-door good looks and a straightforward manner. Plus, Zach's grandfather Francisco is a retired detective and a kindred spirit who appreciates Shannon's apprehension about her paranormal experiences.

Things-that-go-bump-in-the-night clues haunt Shannon's sleep. By daylight eerie occurrences make it crystal clear what path Shannon must take. After solving the Blackthorne House mystery, Shannon is left with the biggest question of all…

What about Alex and Zach; must she choose between them?

Author Tom Tancin with Watched.

Tom Tancin started writing when he was 13 years old after being challenged by his 7th grade English teacher. Encouraged by his 10th grade English teacher to continue writing and to publish the novels, the challenge never ended.

At 24 years of age, he is the author of seven novels and is currently hard at work on number eight. His novels have been read by people across the United States, Canada, England, and Australia. Quotes about Tom include "fulfilled his destiny as a talented author", "one of the best new writers on the market", "don't stop what you are doing because you do it so well", and "talented".

Synop:

Tom Tancin, one of the market's best new writers, brings fan favorite Detective Lindsey Scott back to the hands of readers everywhere in his new thrillstery.

Detective Lindsey Scott takes six months vacation from her stressful and grueling job. But she never expected to face her scariest case while on vacation. The 'solver of the unsolvable' is face to face with the task of raising her teenagers, something she avoided up to this point.

When a cohesive group of killers starts to target webcammers, she'll have to cut her vacation short, really short. Lindsey is on the case trying to track down multiple killers with unique personalities yet one common link. Tracking down killers, especially when you don't know how many there are, is not an easy task.
Pressure adds as bodies continue to turn up across the country on practically a daily basis. And when Lindsey finally gets the upper hand, one of the killers targets her fifteen year old son.

Author Richard Kirsh with Pine Woods

Science Fiction

Richard has two grown children and resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He continues to daily marry Linda, his bride of 33 years. His life's journey has taken him from his hometown Sheboygan, Wisconsin to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin to Minneapolis, Minnesota, including some foreign travel before settling down in Milwaukee. Drawing from imagination and life experience, Richard writes for those who enjoy reading science fiction about real places.

Synop:

A common looking stone transports Rich, Mickie and Bill into a world wrapped in historical reality and fantasy.

This gripping story brings to life the Christina Nilsson, a working Lake Michigan schooner. The schooner sank in 1884 off the shore of Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. Our story winds through historically real sites as well as a fantasy civilization, Urgin. Urgin is a 10,000 year old sunken continent. With the assistance of Aralic and Benowin, 8,000-year-old brother and sister from Urgin, will our three accidental heroes ultimately accomplish their purpose?

In the course of this tale you will be transported to 1954 Midwest as well as 1884. With the realities of anchors, bikes and masts, our story moves to floating rock boats, bubbles capable of turning solid rock into oatmeal, and a world 13 miles beneath the present earth's surface. Come and visit worlds technologically advanced; one seemingly locked in a "simpler time" and finally, one still operating with wind power.

Our 1954 reluctant heroes are chosen to save two children, Carl and Kate Jensen, from perishing when the sailing vessel sinks. If these children were to be lost in the sinking of the ship, the entire course of world history would be altered. Can they?
