What’s left of a man’s soul when everything he loves is taken
from him?

 

It’s 1864, and Gabriel Cooper couldn’t care less about the
civil war raging around him. Framed for crimes he didn’t commit,
he’s been sentenced to a Confederate chain gang, where swampland
justice rules and alligators prey on the unwary.

So when Colonel Robert Tremont rides into camp offering freedom in exchange
for fighting on the front lines, Gabriel jumps at the opportunity. He
thrives as a soldier, but the end of the war leaves him adrift.

Gabriel ends up in New Orleans, where he meets Simone Livingston, a
fiercely independent woman with hidden scars of her own. Kept on a tight
rein by her overbearing father, Simone only wants freedom—and the
enigmatic Gabriel.

But Gabriel has unfinished business and a mind for vengeance. Will he be
able to create a peaceful life with Simone or will his greed and thirst for
retribution keep them trapped in a dangerous web of deceit—a web
Gabriel fears can only be untangled with murder.

If you make a deal with the Devil, don’t forget to read the fine
print.

Three operatives find themselves on the run after a corporate sabotage job
goes awry. Now, their predatory employer, a heavyweight weapons-tech firm,
wants its elite A-team dead at all costs.  Jon is a smooth-talking
charmer. Friedrich is a hacker prodigy. And Guion is the ice-cold tactician
who keeps them all in line.

Backs against the wall, the men strike separate infernal pacts to stay
alive. They vanish into the urban badlands of New York’s Five Hives,
vowing to lie low and figure out why they’ve become targets.
Meanwhile, Jon suspects there’s an insidious evil possessing his
friends, and he wonders if they all got more than they bargained for. 

Amid an escalating war between local gangs and the firm’s private
shock troops, the fugitives uncover a conspiracy that threatens to destroy
everyone they know and love. But can they stop the destruction before their
inner demons seize control?

About the Author

 At the age of four, Russell Anders started telling stories, often
interrupting his mother during bedtime reading to ask, “Then what
happened?” She always answered, “You tell me,” and his
imagination conjured fantastical tales of dragons and dinosaurs.

He gravitated toward a career as a technical writer and writing coach for
software companies. He also briefly served as a columnist for Dragon
Magazine. One of his favorite hobbies includes tabletop role playing,
especially as the game master. And yes, he’s as cruel to the characters in
his games as he is to the characters in his books; his players love him for
it. 

Russel lives with the constant canine companionship of whip-smart but goofy
Sigurd, an English Mastiff (the best breed ever).     

Daemones ex Machina is his debut novel.

A contemporary crime thriller perfect for Louise Penny and Robert Dugoni fans,
Illusionist presents PI McPherson with an impossible dilemma: kill an author
at a writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest, or let a college student
die.

When an illusionist arrives at Pines & Quill, one of the
retreat’s owners vanishes—right in front of witnesses who see
nothing. Meanwhile, crime boss Georgio Gambino tightens his grip, blackmailing
a writer into murder and framing Sean McPherson. His threat is clear: obey, or
your daughter dies.
As McPherson investigates, he uncovers a brewing
power struggle—Carmine Fiore, Gambino’s second-in-command, is
staging a coup. While Gambino’s network traffics drugs, weapons, and
humans, Fiore manipulates the Sureños gang, planting evidence to shift
blame.
Desperate to turn the tide, McPherson seeks a dangerous alliance.
But when deception is the game, only illusion can outmaneuver the truth.
Enlisting the retreat’s eclectic writers—including a NASCAR
driver, a triathlete, a house-flipping architect, and a magician with secrets
of her own—McPherson sets the stage for the ultimate trick: survival.

 

About the Author

Laurie Buchanan

A blend of Dr. Doolittle, Nanny McPhee, and
a type-A Buddhist, Laurie Buchanan is an active listener, observer of details,
payer of attention, reader and writer of books, kindness enthusiast, red
licorice aficionado, and lover of the Oxford comma.

As a novelist,
photographer, and voracious reader, she never travels without three
essentials—a laptop, a camera, and a book.

Growing up, she dreamed
of being a magician, an international spy, and a mad scientist. There’s
still time!

Her writing studio is the hayloft of a historic carriage
house in the Pacific Northwest, where creativity thrives. Her husband, Len, a
private pilot, and Henry, their not-so-standard Standard Poodle, join her on
daily walks. She always carries a camera because sometimes, the best word
choice is a picture.

A journey that left an indelible imprint on her was
a 20-day, 211-mile trek across the majestic landscapes of Scotland. She, her
husband, and their son hiked from the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, with
the pinnacle being the climb of Ben Nevis at the midpoint of their adventure,
the highest point in the British Isles.

“My writing goal is simple: to
leave you wanting more.” —Laurie Buchanan

About the Author

Jean-Pierre Zacaropoulos
It’s never too late to make my dreams come true. I was lucky to be
born on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, specifically in
Alexandria. My summers were spent on the beach, enjoying the sunshine, the
original surfboards/paddle boards, and the game of sand pickleball before it
even made it to the US.

Not having TVs, I read many books, especially wartime ones, Ian
Flemings’s early James Bond novels, John Le Carre, Agatha Christie,
Maurice LeBlanc (Arsene Lupin), and other detective/mystery-type books. For
school, we had to read all the French Classics. I was always intrigued by how
the characters always managed to resolve their problems.

At the Age of 19, I came to California as a foreign student. After graduating
with an engineering degree, I was able to obtain my permanent residency. I
never looked back. My mother was able to join me, but unfortunately, my father
passed away.

Once I graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree, I joined an
International Engineering and Construction Company and spent all my working
time with them. What was great is that the company moved me to many work
projects around the world, where I spent an average of a couple of years on
each. My wife joined me on some of these assignments.

But my love for writing was always with me. During my stay abroad, I wrote a
philosophical book and many articles for local newspapers and the Laguna Beach
weekly issues, comparing life in Laguna Beach with life in Indonesia. I wrote
articles for the company’s monthly newsletter, as well as for other
publications.

I recently decided to use a “nom de plume”/pseudonym for my
writings. My real name is Jean-Pierre Zacaropoulos. Having a last name
starting with a “Z” had me called upon in classes either as one of
the last ones or one of the first one. It was always a guessing game. But
usually having an A or B will push you to the top (Ha! Ha!). So I decided to
choose a “B”

Now, I have a little bit more time, so I decided to make my long-time desire
come true. I wrote my mystery/romance novel, which will be followed shortly
after by a sequel.
