BORN TO RETURN THE GIFT
By Catherine E. Johnson
Each life is a gift from God, What is done with it is a gift to Him in return.
Struggles of depression with post traumatic stress disorder provoke denial. Self medication with alcohol doesn't deter reflections. Homeless again, does Nyima stay in California or return to the East Coast to assist family members in crisis.
A recurring nightmare forces its total exposure proving itself more real than imaginary as it takes demonic possession making her fight for dominion over her own soul.
Hell in a dream? Yes. It's where her selective amnesia of emotional, physical, alcohol and drug abuse along with sexual addiction has no place to hide. Although choices have always been hers, deep in her fragmented psyche lies the damaging memory that created a feeding ground for low self esteem before she knew what self esteem was.

A Sleep of Years
By MariaRachel Hooley
At sixteen, Jennifer Landry thinks the worst thing that can happen is getting pregnant, but when Waylan Thompson, her boyfriend of two years, suddenly dies in a car wreck and Jennifer miscarries, she thinks her life is over. Still, Sean, Waylan's older brother, manages to pull her through. Although the two lose contact for years, Jennifer runs into Sean as she is raising her two teenage sons alone. He, too, is divorced. The years have allowed them both to heal into adults who share a mutual scar, and what was once simply a foundation of shared grief becomes more, especially as Jennifer faces another possible loss-her oldest son, who wrecks on an icy road. It's going to take everything Sean has to save her again, and he has to: he can't imagine his world without her in it.

PLAYA PLAYA
By Crisalyn B. Sachi
"The Life Of A Playa Playa" was written to encourage women to pick themselves up after a devastating heartbroken situation. It encourages them to be strong and to lean on God to pull them through their rough times. Since Crisalyn has lived through some trying times too over some of her past relationships, she was able to identify with other women that lived in these shoes. "The Life Of A Playa Playa" was also written to convince men to stop being a player. The story lets them know what the end results will be. Crisalyn listened to her uncle's story when he was a player and saw that he was remorseful of his wrong doings. The book is a way for any player to tell the women and families that they that they are sorry. Some of the stories were true but exaggerated and some were made up. Crisalyn thought that the point would get across no matter if the book was true or not. She intends to write "The Life Of A Playa Playa 2" to add other stories inspired by her life and other lives to help people thru their ordeals too.

GUARDIAN * THE BEGINNING *
By Pernell Gibson
In the year 2017 most of mankind has become complacent and reckless, depending mainly on logic and finite wisdom. Psalmulus Grey, an emotionally scarred, fifteen-year-old participant of this world order, lives within its guidelines until one night when an angel of God appears before him and makes it clear that he is one of the Father’s chosen. Meanwhile a much more sinister plan is unfolding within the city of Neo Creek between Maxwell Steeleworthy, a wealthy capitalist, and Zegudalia, a demonic being from the Abyss. In an epic battle of divined proportions, Psalmulus manifests vast supernatural abilities as he struggles with the decision to fulfill God’s will for his life and become a Guardian of Light or succumb to his own vengeful desires. Many forces from the side of light as well as darkness rise to the occasion to see their goals met as Psalmulus is forced to do battle with humans and demons alike, but most of all--himself.

But now a familiar voice from her past sends Sarah, a talented mid-twenties ad exec, back to her past. A past that she had thought was long buried.
Some things are meant to be buried.

SURVIVING AN AMERICAN GULAG
Welcome to Ft. Gordon, Ga - the Special Training Unit. It's 1967, the height of the Vietnam War and Private Winslow Gibbs has been drafted. He's two-hundred and seventy pounds and a bundle of nerves. He also has issues of a different nature, but in these days before the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, these are dealt with in the American Gulag, the Army's answer to the problem. What they don't count on are the ones like Private Gibbs, who want to survive it and serve. Based on the author's own experiences, Surviving an American Gulag is a story that the military would prefer remain a footnote. However, it is a defining moment and should not be lost to posterity. Also included with this work is "A Dime a Dip," a tale of the author's grandmother and her considerable efforts on behalf of thousands of migrant worker children.

NO IRISH NEED APPLY
By Edward C. Patterson
Kevin Borden has a secret, and that secret is about to shake the world around him - a tame and suburban world ruled by his widow mother, Sarah and peppered by his study-mate, Louis. Teenagers sometimes do the darndest things, but in Kevin and Louis' case, it's a stroke of wisdom wrapped in fool's gold. In a time not so long ago, in the days of JIM CROW and NO IRISH NEED APPLY signage, the world made it clear to those regarded as the fringe. "Stay away." To those who know no better - or perhaps know best, such lines are only meant to be crossed, or why else would they be drawn.
