 Four years ago, Rebel saved Ginger by claiming her as his, a desperate act to
keep them both alive, then vanished. Now, Bike Week in Daytona Beach throws
them back into each other’s paths. He’s a dangerous nomad, a ruthless killer,
and her addiction. She, in turn, is his. Can they bury the past and find a
future together, or is it already too late?

Excerpt

I grabbed Ginger by the hand and pulled her out of the room, down the hall and
to the bathroom. Her resistance was futile, her fear unimportant. I knew what
I had to do, and if she were smart, she’d realize it, too. If she wanted to
live. I opened the bathroom door and yanked her inside, thankful that I found
it empty. It was filthy, but better than nothing, and it had a shower that
everyone used when they felt the need to be clean, which wasn’t often.

Ginger
spun around when I shut the door, the look of a trapped animal in her pretty
blues. I ignored her growing terror, steeling myself for what I had to do.
Even behind closed doors I had to make it real, had to be convincing that I
was an unfeeling bastard. I saw her swallow, could see her tits rising and
falling rapidly as the fear of the unknown overwhelmed her. She was expecting
the worst, preparing herself to do whatever she had to do to survive.

“Take
off your clothes.” I kept my tone harsh, indifferent to her growing panic. She
shook her head vigorously and stepped back, slamming hard against the cracked
porcelain sink. A nervous cry escaped her, and her eyes were wild as she took
in her surroundings and realized that there was no escape. Her gaze touched on
the door behind me before meeting my eyes.

“Please‒”

“Take off your
f**king clothes,” I said in an uncaring, demanding tone. “You’re filthy, and
not in a way that turns me on. Now undress.” I removed my cut and the t-shirt
beneath it. “In fact, I think I’ll join you.” Her eyes nearly popped out of
her head at that. “If you’re not undressed by the time I’m out of my clothes,
you won’t like the consequences.”

I kicked off my boots as my hands went
to the front of my pants. As I’d expected she would, Ginger’s small
hands began to unbutton her blouse. Slowly she began to expose enticing,
creamy skin to my wandering eyes. I undid my pants. She lowered her gaze to
the floor and turned around before reluctantly removing the garment. I let her
have her moment of modesty before I looked into the mirror in front of her.
Christ. I took notice of her perfect tits and rosy tips. I lowered my zipper,
the sound of it overloud in the tiny room. I could tell that she knew what I
was doing by the stiffening of her backside, but she didn’t let it stop her
from removing her jeans. As I kicked mine away, hers hit the floor.

Eat Well, Supplement Well, Digest Well presents a clear framework for

Drawing on more than 30 years in natural health—and his own recovery

experience, and a deep understanding of how the supplement industry operates.

“Optimal health is being the best you can be—functionally,
emotionally, physically, and energetically. You don’t just feel good.
You feel great.”

Inside the book, readers will learn:

● Why traditional foods such as meat, eggs, butter, and fat play an important
role in health

● How to evaluate supplement labels and identify misleading formulations

● Practical ways to support digestion and ease common discomfort

Corrigan outlines how consistent attention to food quality, targeted
supplementation, and digestive health can support the body’s natural
ability to regain balance.

eat real food.”

food and holistic health, Eat Well, Supplement Well, Digest Well offers a

Amid the vibrant landscape of San Francisco in the late 1960s,
eleven-year-old Jamie steps into the confines of a dark confessional booth.
With promises of confidentiality, Father Nelson uncovers a chilling secret
buried deep within the young boy’s subconscious.

Intrigued by his grave past, Father Nelson brings him into the church as an
altar boy under the mentorship of Harry, an older acolyte. The priest quickly
gains control over Jamie, using the boy’s complicated history and his
own undisputed authority to initiate a dark turn in their relationship. Jamie
falls deeper into the world of religion, and his blooming friendship with
Harry becomes a needed distraction from the somber realities of the church.

Shaped by major cultural events, from the Manson murders to the moon landing,
to Woodstock and the Civil Rights Movement, Jamie’s life unfolds as he
navigates religion, power, and loss of innocence. A haunting coming of age
story, Boy Altared explores a seismic shift into adulthood during one of the
most turbulent decades in history.

 J.S. Pavoggi was born in 1957 and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, the sixth of
eight children in a devout Catholic family. He attended parochial school,
served as an altar boy, and came of age during the turbulence of the Vietnam
War era and the cultural upheaval that followed.

After a 40-year career in public service with the United States Postal
Service—where he also served as a union representative—Pavoggi
experienced a life-altering heart procedure that changed the way he saw the
world. What began as an impulse to write a better streaming series evolved
into a powerful, fictionalized account of survival and healing.

His debut novel, Boy Altared, is a deeply personal work of historical fiction
rooted in memory, silence, and resilience. Pavoggi lives in Arizona with his
wife of 38 years. They have three children and four grandchildren.

Before the First Amendment, three courageous women helped shape its
soul.


The Radiance of Grace
is the powerful, true story of Mary Dyer, Katherine
Scott, and Anne Hutchinson
—three extraordinary women whose faith,
friendship, and moral courage challenged the rigid Puritan authority of
17th-century New England.

More than 150 years before the American Constitution, these Boston women stood
for freedom of religion, conscience, and speech, refusing to surrender their
personal relationship with God to institutional control. Their
activism—rooted in scripture, compassion, and community—sparked
social and political reform at a time when women were expected to remain
silent.

Leading Bible studies attended by more than 150 people each week, they became
influential voices within their communities. When Puritan leadership responded
with harassment, exile, and public punishment, the abuse meant to silence them
instead strengthened their resolve. Their lives intertwined with men who
admired them, men who despised them, and families who endured the cost of
conviction.

Drawing from **extensive historical research—including journals, court
records, letters, and firsthand accounts—**and woven together with
informed imagination, Margaret Cotton brings these overlooked women vividly to
life. Their story reveals the deepest roots of American liberty and challenges
modern readers to consider:

● What does it mean to live faithfully under unjust authority?

● How far are we willing to go for freedom of conscience?

● What is the personal cost of standing for truth?

 

The Radiance of Grace is an intimate, inspiring historical narrative for
readers of:

 

● Women’s history

● Early American and colonial history

● Faith-based and Christian nonfiction

● Social justice and religious freedom

● Readers drawn to untold stories that shaped the foundation of America

These women were nearly erased from history—but their legacy still
calls us to courage, purpose, and grace.

It is time to hear their true story.

 

 

About the Author

Margaret Cotton

 

Margaret Cotton is an author and lifelong storyteller who writes books
she longs to read—stories of compelling characters facing complex moral
choices. The Radiance of Grace is her first historical narrative. It is an
invitation for readers to engage with history, conscience, and transformation.
Margaret describes her writing process as both surrender and gratitude—a
deep immersion where research, imagination, doubt, and discovery converge
until clarity emerges.

Her writing journey is rooted in both scholarship and wonder. A recipient of a
National Endowment for the Humanities Grant for Independent Study, Margaret
spent years researching female faith activism in 17th-century New
England—a topic that would eventually become The Radiance of Grace.
Although she attempted the story earlier, she paused for two decades, trusting
that the time was not yet right.

Her confidence grew during the writing of her first book, Raised!, a true
miracle memoir that revealed an uncanny alignment between informed imagination
and the creative flow of unexpected truth. With advice from a seasoned New
York editor and an evolving sense of purpose, Margaret subsequently returned
to this historical work—where, she says, “The story finally
developed as it was meant to be told and at the right time.”

Margaret Cotton was a featured presenter at reading and writing workshops,
professional conferences, and continuing education events in multiple states
and Central America. Her copyrighted educational materials emphasize the value
of a cognitive conversation between the writing and comprehension processes
for middle grade students. She is equally comfortable speaking to book clubs
and historical societies.

As a Certified Professional Photographer (PPA), Margaret photographed more
than 250 weddings, including international venues—an experience that
deepened her understanding of human connection, resilience, and the deep
longing for story within all cultures. She lives with her husband of over
fifty years, is the mother of two, grandmother of seven, and believes that
curiosity, faith, and purpose only deepen with time.

EXCERPT

“To us, America felt provincial, naïve, and unsophisticated. And there was, and there remains, a certain harshness to daily discourse. By 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment had passed. Prohibition was, and is, in full effect. Although this had been represented as a single-issue campaign, I saw it as a harbinger of evolving intolerance and threatening societal restrictions, ones which I personally found alien.

“But in moving to Antibes we were able to share in the vibrant efflorescence of modern culture that subsequently engulfed all it touched. Some of this seemed to have been a spontaneous outpouring, but was surely catalyzed by the concentration of artistic and creative talent that had populated that small area of southern France.

“I’m confident that some of this free expression was a result of the war’s end. Additionally, the secular traditions of French society, very different from the rigid religious influences plying early twentieth-century America, even encouraged it. It seemed that French culture afforded the liberty for one to be oneself without concern of retribution or shame.

“Likewise, I couldn’t have anticipated that our social circle would become one in which ideas were paramount. That’s not to say that visible and tangible accomplishments, even simple objects, weren’t important. Rather, they became conveyances for the expression of the new ways of thinking and seeing that had permeated our shared reality and become our common language.

“I was aware there were those who thought of us as affluent dilletantes who had traveled

 

About the Author

Stephen Asher
Stephen Asher is a graduate of UCLA and was subsequently educated at the
University of Rochester School of Medicine, University of California San
Francisco, and St. Catherine’s College Oxford. His professional life was
spent as a neurologist, often walking the fine line separating the mind from
the brain, a vantage point which encouraged a perspective molded not only by
the scientific and the rational but also shaped by the aesthetics of the
senses. It is this unity of world view that fashions one of the novel’s
central themes.

Asher and his wife were drawn to Idaho’s arid vistas, glistening rivers,
and rugged skylines. As a travelling angler, he has pursued Atlantic salmon
throughout their natural range, has sought sea run brown trout in Patagonia,
and steelhead in his home waters in the Pacific Northwest. He and his wife
have cycled much of France, and, during quiet times at home, he enjoys music
and plays cello.

Previously, he has published essays, and short pieces in the British sporting
literature. He is a member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, the Barbara Pym
Society, and is a proud supporter of PEN America. He lives in Idaho with his
wife, adult children, and his bird dogs.
