Crimson War by Brian Bringazi

Halloween 2010 is a day I'll never forget. It was the day that Hell took over the world and the day I lost my soul and my family. Before I go any further let me tell you about my life before the day of chaos. If you think I was an ordinary average Joe you're wrong. I was a special ops member of an elite group that was ten times more lethal than the United States Navy Seals. The government never gave us a name. Hell, my own family didn't know about my job. As far as they knew I was a businessman. Truth is before I had my family and worked for the government I was a mafia hit man. I spent two years in a federal prison. After I was released I got a job working at the local Best Buy. On one of my days off from work, I was paid a visit by a mysterious man whose name I don't remember. He offered me a chance to protect the country I helped destroy. The offer was that I come with him and become a member of an elite team whose mission was to wipe out any foreign government who threatened the U.S. Government's progress of total control. I took the offer as a way to redeem my soul. They set me up with an ordinary job to cover up my real job. My wife and I met while I was on vacation in the Mediterranean Sea on a cruise. Two years later we got married and had our beautiful daughter, Jade.

Raw Egg by Joe King

The problem with Gregor Planks as a fictional character is that he discovers he is trapped in a book. Naive and arrogant, the adolescent Gregor abandons a home life where his literary ambitions are viewed as an excuse to avoid working.
He soon finds himself in the town of Riverside, where a story-stealing seductress sets him along a plot that forces him to take up residence in a dilapidated motel room. In squalor, Gregor writes fiction on an old typewriter while attempting to support himself with menial jobs he believes no artist should have to endure. Gregor's assumption that he is in control of the fiction he writes is soon disrupted when a recurring character he created begins to talk to him. Life quickly becomes a blend of fiction and reality for Gregor as he travels in and out of the stories he writes while attempting to win the love of Hannah, a gawky waitress who is immediately repulsed by Gregor's disillusioned reality. Not to be left without a proper antagonist, the bulky restaurant owner - known to Gregor only as the hairy man - has an unquenchable desire to keep the would-be writer away from Hannah by any means possible. Blinded by his ego, Gregor overlooks the common threads of fiction that control his life and finds himself locked in a battle for his own existence.


COMING SOON!

Alabaster Bayou by Kerry D. Redford

From Chapter 1: The crimson liquid ran down her fingers past her elbows and pooled in her lap. Her skirt performed like a bowl posed to catch every drop. She sat alone in a chilled sweat on the hardwood floor next to the bed. The liquefied plasma began to thicken and turn black around her fingernails and blood stained lap. The rush was over; the thrill of making the man on the bed pay for his sins was gone.
He was just another fella looking for a good time who wound up sweating his last set of sheets with her. 
She had a seductive exquisiteness that allowed her to ensnare her victims with ease. She was the daughter of a black creole mother and white Cajun father and because of that she had an undeniable luster to her silky skin. Her deep violet eyes glistened from cocoa colored sockets that were embellished by long natural eyelashes. Hers was a beauty like no other, a beauty that could be used as a weapon that no man she had found yet was able to deny. Her deadly seductiveness was unmatched by any other known woman in the Louisiana Bayous. Always the postured princess, she straightened her back, brushed her blood speckled raven hair away from her shoulders and stood menacingly over her latest dupe. She licked her cherry colored lips as if she enjoyed a small taste of the life supporting sustenance she had drained from the pail motionless lover in her bed. 
Fairy Tales by Victoria H. Loren
The magic of fairy tales has captivated minds and hearts for centuries with a magical world coming to life in a make-believe realm of fantasy. Classic old world settings blend with modern theatrical creations to provide a unique contemporary flair to the story. The roles of characters from different worlds come together to create fascinating tales. Fairy Tales and Beyond: Collection of Assorted Short Stories creates a mythical journey with an innovative twist when humor collides with enchantment.
The first tale, Castlebrook unveils a mystical realm where the simple turn of a page releases creatures from the enchanted fairy tale book. Explaining the really ugly, smelly ogre under your bed or baby dragon in your closet toasting your clothes might be a little difficult. A mythical journey encountering enchanted creatures, though magical they may be, released a realm that must be restored.
The Second tale, Perfectly Mousy delivered an extraordinary adventure to a kingdom and land of royalty, far away and lost to all worlds, but one.
What if, a beautiful garden’s enchantment was real? The third tale, Faerie Dust, and Pigtails unveil the possibility of such a magical world. A young girl’s struggle to fit in is suddenly faced with new challenges of a winged nature.
The fourth tale, Cirques of Tales is a humorous, heartwarming adventure where the chitter-chatter of a select cirques group within the wild animal kingdom has attracted phenomenal attention. But it’s the heartthrob of this group that captivated onlookers with his very special talent. The gifted members of the troupe are not without tales of their own. Come one, come all for the Maddie Braden Cirque is coming to town, and what happens under the big top, stays under the big top.
The fifth tale, Jazzbelle’s Monkey Business features a whimsical tale of a pet shop’s owner and her struggle for success but not by means of fortune or fame.
The sixth tale, Slobber the Hound is a delightful account of a rather sporting century-old event, the foxhunt. The legend of the foxhunt categorically is a competitive but sordid affair.  When Slobber the unwavering hound dog leads the pack, the outcome is anything but predictable. Traditionally hounds hunt foxes, simple as that and no exceptions.
The seventh tale, Fellar leaves paw prints on your heart as the young pup embarks upon a brave journey of survival against wild elements of nature in search of his forever home. This inspiring tale is a compassionate odyssey of strength and devotion.
The eighth tale, Farmer MacKinnon, The Real Tale reveals the uncensored barnyard drama on a small, rural farm. A mysterious enchanted endeavor that solved the mystery of the real tale of farmer MacKinnon created quite a dilemma for the classical barnyard animals. The journey to reveal the secrets behind the tales was bittersweet, thus controversial. Should this mystery remain a secret?
The ninth tale, Just Ducky, is sure to bring laughter as the lineup of webbed feet and quacking bills waddle into your heart. Paddington Pond’s magical enchantment playfully embraces dreams and wishes that really do come true… that is if you believe the legend of Duckwaddle is real.
In the tenth tale, An underground rabbit patrol safeguards a hidden world, that’s all but, forgotten. The only order of resistance was from nature's transformation, The Renegades.  Would the dark secret remain intact or be exposed changing life forever?
What if, your best friend was different, really, really different than everyone else? The eleventh tale, My BF’s a Monster is a heartwarming tale that reveals the special bond of friendship is stronger and supposed to be forever. Or is it?
Antique signified more than, the value of a collectible old object. The last and final twelfth tale, Baby Doll has a bewitching history which may forever change the icon to validate the evil, haunting symbolism.


When an unexpected bomb was thrust into his arms. A secret so big, he had no one to turn to but her! The woman he’d met at his sister’s wedding.  Could he forget about the rules, and just let her heal him? For she too was suffering the greatest loss, anyone should ever have to go through...
It was a simple mistake, but it almost cost her life. She was told to take time off, and to get help to fix her broken heart and mend her soul.
But the nightmares were too much that she couldn’t get past her mistake, or the tragedy that took away the only thing that mattered.
Secretively she went to the only one who made her feel at peace and made her happy, though if her brother ever found out, she would be locked away.  However, arriving at her best friends, she was furious to see that he had lied to her. But had he? Could she get past her own pain and help him with his? And would she be able to confess what had brought her to him so unexpectedly, before her brother caught them?
Was it possible that each other was the key to them getting a second chance?
