My Heart Is the Tempest

The Tempest Trilogy Book 1

by Sacha Rosel

Genre: Dark Fantasy 

Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest and including direct citations from the play, My heart is The Tempest is a dark reimagining of witch Sycorax, portrayed as a 12-year old olive-skinned, black-haired human girl trapped in a land of cruel insect-like creatures who worship light and snow loathing everything deviating from their personal truth. Including her, deemed to be a threat to their infallible world. After unconsciously awakening her grandmother Miranda to life, Sycorax slowly comes to realize that the land she has always yearned for actually existed in the past, before being erased from everybody’s memory. Now, thanks to Miranda’s help, Sycorax can make that land erupt again, but she will have to learn how to welcome darkness first.

With an accessible but richly visual and lyrical style, My heart is The Tempest is a dark tale of self-discovery focusing on an anti-heroine figure learning how to face a world of light made of terror and violence and embracing her hidden powers thus becoming a conscious instrument of darkness. The novella is also meant to be the first of a dark fantasy trilogy, each volume representing a different stage of life, from teenage years (Volume One) to adulthood (Volume Two) and old age (Volume Three), focusing on the themes of rage, vengeance, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Soul of the Citizen: Prayers For A Divided Nation

by Mischa Field

Genre: Christian Nonfiction 

Crisis times call for leadership.
Corrupt times call for integrity.
These times call for a move of God, and a move of God calls for you.

If you are moved to pray that God would do a new thing in the life of this nation, this book is for you.

GUEST POST

 What are your top 10 favorite authors?

Ten is an impossibly short list. If I write this tomorrow, I will say something different. I love storytellers, essayists, comedians, and poets, people with unique voices, who make language sing, surprise, and inspire. And there are so many people who do that wonderfully. Here are ten for today: James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Mark Twain, Douglas Adams, David Sedaris, Norton Juster, Shane Koyczan, Shane Hawley, Shihan Van Clief, Sarah Kay.

How long have you been writing?

I have been writing all my life.

What kind of research do you do before you begin writing a book?

It depends on the subject. I might have to learn about countries, culture, history or government. I may have to learn about a world that a particular piece references. Often, I find I must research something I learned long ago and need to review. I know it well enough to look for it, but not well enough to use it. One recurring motif in my process is discovery. A lot of writing, for me involves hunting for things I’ve already found.

Do you read yourself and if so, what is your favorite genre?

When I read, I tend to flock to things that will make me laugh and make me think. The late Jim Valvano once said that every day he could laugh, cry, and learn something, was a good day. To that list, I would just add celebrate. If I can laugh, cry, learn something, and celebrate, it’s been a good day. These are the things I try to promote in my writing. These are things I look for in reading.

Do you prefer to write in silence or with noise? Why?

I like noise, but I have never been able to make it work. I get lost in music. I get lost in other people’s conversations. I struggle to shut out the noise around me. Silence is best.

Do you write one book at a time, or do you have several going at a time?

Several at once. It works for me If I have multiple topics, and multiple genres. Writing two books in the same lane would probably drive me crazy.

Pen or typewriter or computer?

My grandmother was a poet and children’s book author. For most of her life, she wrote by hand and then used a typewriter. When she needed a second draft, she started over. Late in life, she adopted one of those word processors that showed four lines of type on the screen. I have tremendous respect for that because I could never do it. I need a computer for everything. If not the computer, then a tablet. If not a tablet, then the phone. If I must write on paper, I transfer it as quickly as I can. Paper is chaos. And I write in tongues. Sometimes I can barely read my own handwriting. Computers make everything better.

Do you have any advice to offer for new authors?

Write all your moods. Explore every mode. Allow yourself to play. Decline to wrap a bow around yourself as a creative. There was a brilliant documentary on Jim Henson that showcased just how many things he allowed himself to do. And a friend of his, the children’s book author Maurice Sendak, pointed out that people will frequently attempt to police the lanes artists explore. If you are a writer, who also paints, or sings, some people will object. If you’re a journalist who also writes poetry, some people will balk. You will find this throughout your process. Plenty of people will try to pigeonhole you. Don’t do it to yourself. You have no idea the fullness of gifting that lies within you. Seize opportunities to let it out.

Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was published in poetry before catching the romance writing bug. I bring that background to my writing along with a lifelong addiction to horses, an 18 year career in various areas of psychiatric social services and many trips to Ireland, where I nurture my muse. My published works range from contemporary fantasy romance to fantasy historical, futuristic, science fiction and historical romance. Currently I live in rural Pennsylvania with a “motley crew” of rescue animals. You can see my books at www.miriamnewman.com.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

Spider Green Mystery Thriller Series Book 1

by Norm Harris

Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Action

Faydra “Spider” Green is a dedicated Navy JAG lawyer who has lived her life in the shadows of a great and powerful man: her father, former President of the United States William Green. Green cannot heal the wound in his relationship with his daughter. His former power and influence curse Faydra and cause her to wonder if her accomplishments were her own doing.

 A lawyer by trade, Faydra is both anxious and excited as she undertakes her first homicide investigation: —the brutal murder of a Navy SEAL. She reasons that a successful investigation will provide her the opportunity to validate her sense of self-worth. Thanks to her remarkable deductive abilities, Faydra soon realizes that the accused man, a Special Ops Marine war hero, may be innocent and that the Navy is using her as a pawn in a complex cover-up.

 Meanwhile, a seasoned Navy Sea Captain, Egan Fletcher, whose wife had died eight years earlier, struggles to balance his Navy career with raising a son. When the Navy purposefully pairs him with Faydra in a meeting, the two Navy officers embark on an adrenaline-pumping adventure. It is a top-secret mission- impossible that will take them halfway around the world in an attempt to avert a catastrophic act of terrorism in the form of a biological war.

 Set against the dramatic backdrop of Washington State’s Puget Sound and the mystique of East Asia, Faydra’s story revolves around a woman who appears to be as pure as the driven snow—yet, she is driven by an insatiable need to complete any assignment, no matter how dangerous. Along the way, she transforms into a symbol of hope, perseverance, and a woman’s ability to overcome life-threatening events.

Norm Harris' first novel debuted on an Amazon bestseller list in 2002 and a Writer’s Digest
award winner. It was a one-and-done, but now he's back with a plan to publish the Spider Green Mystery
Thriller Series from the first mystery/thriller of days gone by.
Except for time spent in military service, he is a second-generation
Seattleite (that's what they call those who dwell in the shadow of Mt. Rainier), with his legal beagle son,
K-K, and five giant tropical fish. Norm's stories spring from his memories of people who he has met and
places and the places he has visited as he traveled the world. Diversity, inclusion, and equality are
foremost in each story. "Fay is an admirable, tough, brilliant protagonist." said one reviewer. Said another,
"Lt Commander Faydra Green from the JAG Corps is a “take no prisoners” protagonist..."
Watch for his four  upcoming first quarter 2022 novels, "Fruit of
the Poisonous Tree", "Arid Sea", "Deception Pass", and "The Girl Who Knew Death" in what he hopes to
be an award-winning mystery thriller series. And in late 2022 his fifth book in the series "Rain and Wind
and Fire".
