    Author Barry K. Nelson with McKenzie Files
    The United Protectorate is under attack by the reptilian alien race known as the Brelac. The Brelac's bloodthirsty onslaught brings forth the creation of the genetically engineered humanoid weapons called Reploids. These Reploids are the perfect weapon in every way; they are identical copies of real humans that have been captured, killed, cloned, embedded with powerful psionic-based abilities, and programmed to kill for the Brelac. They are untraceable, they blend into human society, and they are believable-so believable, that the Reploids themselves do not know they are clones. Colin McKenzie is a second generation Reploid planted in the Protectorate military. When he turns on his commanding officer in an attempt to protect a shipwrecked band of Brelac soldiers, he is captured and reprogrammed-along with two other arrested Reploids-to serve the government they were originally created to destroy. A dark alliance between the Brelac and the separatist organization Vendetta looms over the Protectorate. The balance is upset when the traitorous Doctor Howard Fenlow-the scientist who is the very creator of the Reploids-manages to produce a weapon powerful enough to bring the Protectorate to its knees. And there are only three that can stop it.

    Author Heather Long with Remembering Ashby

    Peace among the clans has been nonexistent for the past centuries.  But now that clan Lairds have decided to summon the God-touched people from their magical Isle to perform the rituals of Beltane to bless the peace talks between the clans, peace is within reach. 
    Melanie is honored to be chosen as one of six maidens to represent the Goddess at this important event.  She is meant to be a vessel for the power of the Goddess while forgetting the failures of humanity during the festival.  She knows should be concentrating on her part as a Maiden of the Hunt, yet she cannot banish the handsome Scot from her mind.  Running in the Hunt is as sacred as the Goddess herself, and should her desires be known, there could be dire consequences for her and the clansman.  However, she can’t find the will to deny his pull. 
    The mists of the Black Mountains enhance the excitement of their forbidden love while providing an escape from the Islanders encampment.  Can they give in to their desires at the expense of their destinies? 
    Especially once The Sorcerer discovers their dalliance.

    Author Yvonne Mason with Dream Catcher

    In the years leading up to the 1950’s there were no resources for the challenged. They were placed in asylums or back rooms and left to die. They were never talked about or acknowledged. They were the silent children. The ones no one wanted. The ,ones who never given a chance to live.
    Florida Author Yvonne Mason has given us a story of success in a time of failure for the challenged. She has given a voice to a child born in 1952 who became challenged. This young man was not put away.
    He was not shunned and he was not ignored. In her book Dream Catcher, Ms. Mason tells of Stan who was never supposed to succeed. He was supposed to fail.
    Ms. Mason takes the reader into the life of Stan’s family as they deal with an older child as well as a baby who is challenged. She brings to life the pain, heartache and deep emotion of the mother as she learns to cope with Stan. Ms. Mason also brings to life the hope, the love and the deep abiding loyalty of the family as more siblings are added to the mix.
    The stories bring tears, laughter, anger and feelings of hope, success and belief that behind all of us there is the ability to succeed even when we feel we can’t.
    Dream Catcher a book that should be in every home and in every teacher’s hands to use as a yardstick for success.
    Dream Catcher can be purchased at Amazon.com as well as Ms. Mason’s online store at

    Author Emma Westwood with Monster Movies
    Calling live from Melbourne Austrialia

    Features exclusive interviews with JOHN CARPENTER, ROGER CORMAN, BONG JOON-HO, LARRY COHEN, GREG MCLEAN, RYUHEI KITAMURA AND ADAM SIMON...

    From the year dot, things that go bump in the night have coloured our collective storytelling experience. The hypothetical ‘monster’, in whatever guise or otherworldly shape it may take, is the manifestation of our fears and social paranoias, and an effective watchdog for making sure we all toe the line.

    Through literature, the monster has found a lasting legacy but, through cinema, it has developed from black & white into full Technicolor glory making the monster movie an enduring document of social times, movements, fears and desires. This book peels back the flesh on a few monsters that have tingled our spines and caused more than a nightmare over the past 100 years.

    About The Author:
    Emma Westwood is a writer, journalist and dedicated cinephile from Australia. As a media correspondent, her writing has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers in both Australia and South East Asia. Her first clandestine viewing of 'The Exorcist' at age 11 kicked off a love affair with the horror genre that has placed her in good stead to write Monster Movies. This is her first book for Pocket Essentials.

    Author Beth Trissel with Through The Fire.

    At the height of the French and Indian War, a young English widow ventures into the colonial frontier in search of a fresh start. She never expects to find it in the arms of the half-Shawnee, half-French warrior who makes her his prisoner in the raging battle to possess a continent––or to be aided by a mysterious white wolf and a holy man.

    About the Author:

    Beth Trissel, author of historical and light paranormal romance, published with The Wild Rose Press. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and live on a farm in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with children and multiple animals. The beauty of the valley is an inspiration, as are my roots which go well back into Virginia’s history.~ My fascination with the colonial frontier and the Shawnee Indians is an early and abiding one. My English, Scot-Irish ancestors had interactions with this tribe, including family members taken captive. Intrigued with all things Celtic, much of my writing features the Scot-Irish who settled the valley and spread into the mountains and the Carolinas. ~ This absorption with early America also extends to the high drama of the Revolution and ancestors who fought and loved on both sides of that sweeping conflict. ~Moreover, I am ever intrigued by ghost stories, and Virginia has more tales than any other state. I find myself asking if the folk who’ve gone before us are truly gone, or do some still have unfinished business in this realm? And what of the young lovers whose time was tragically cut short, do they somehow find a way? Love conquers all, so I answer ‘yes.’ Please also visit me at my author website: http://www.bethtrissel.com/

    Author Michael Phelps with The Execution of Justice

    MIKE WALSH is a young Patrol Officer with the Indianapolis Police Department. On a frigid, snowy Christmas Eve, he and his partner are dispatched to a domestic dispute. As they arrive shots pierce the still air, his partner is seriously wounded. A derranged gunman stands at the door; gun in one hand, holding a little girl hostage with the other. Arriving Police units and Fire-Rescue can do nothing but watch the unfolding drama. Walsh crawls on his belly to place himself between his fallen partner, then stands to face the gunman, with his gun in hand. After several tense moments, he succeeds in talking the man into surrendering and releasing his child-hostage. Walsh's partner is rushed to the hospital. His heroic act leads to his promotion to Detective in the elite Robbery-Homicide Division, where he is partnered with his one-time mentor, Detective Sergeant Jack Lovell. In the ensuing months, they handle a variety of cases; armed robberies, and a couple of murders. Walsh finds that the hours required of being a detective are much longer than being on patrol. His marriage begins to suffer, and his alcohol intake increases. He and his partner, Lovell are assigned the case of a vicious gang of armed robbers. With no real clues to follow, victims' and witnesses' descriptions that are strange and conflicting, the gang is on a spree and they become more violent with each crime, resulting in the cold-blooded murder of a Brinks Armored Guard. In a subsequent bank robbery, memebrs of the gang get involved in a shoot-out with an off-duty cop. He wounds one of the fleeing suspects, who begs for help from his cohort, the gunman shoots him in the head. The slain robber is identified, and provides Lovell and Walsh with their first solid lead to the gang's identities. Lovell and Walsh asemble a team of detectives and uniformed officers for backup and carefully plan a raid of three dwellings, where they have a tip the gang members are hiding out. Lovell plans the raid to be executed simultaneously in the pre-dawn hours of a cold December morning, just two weeks before Christmas. Tragedy is about to strike the team, and Walsh's life is turned upside-down. He is forced to make changes, both professionally and personally. Will he survive?
