About Daydreams and Diaries:

For Taylor Black, that Friday night was like any other in her senior year in high school. A quick dip in the shower then off to see her girlfriends and boyfriend Jeff. Just another Friday night in a small Florida town until she blacked out in the shower and her mom rushed her to the emergency room and another life: one of brain scans and surgeries, chemotherapy, 60 Minutes, hospitals and hospice. Something that always happened to someone else happened to her and to her family as well.

Taylor kept a diary through her ordeal as she tried to live as normal a life as possible with brain cancer. Daydreams and Diaries details the roller-coaster ride which is cancer and how Taylor coped as a patient and grew as a person, changing from an insecure high school girl to a courageous young woman.

Her spirit attracted the cameras of CBS and the attention of Ed Bradley who called her “amazing.” Twenty seven million people saw her on 60 Minutes, but CBS couldn’t tell Taylor’s whole story for she was far more than a cancer patient; she was a beloved daughter, sister and friend who showed, as a noted author once wrote: “grace under pressure”.

Taylor’s father, Tim Black, brings a father’s memories of Taylor at different points in her life, helping to complete the portrait of a remarkable young woman who was the inspiration for so many.

About Obsessed:

I kill, therefore I am…

Voices slam through the corridor of his wounded mind. The words of his dead sister cry out. His parents’ taunts fill the silent room where he sits and waits–waits for the murderous rage, filling him with strength, driving him to kill, to touch the cold flesh, taste the warm blood–to feel alive again… A witness has seen him, but his killing only turns her on and now she wants to protect him. His wife suspects him, but the private detective she hired cannot stop him. Joe MacAree fears nothing–except that he may no longer be human. The thirst that drives him is relentless, moving deeper and deeper into his own shattering, private realm, where each murder is a delicious new gift of life, where revulsion is beauty, and the obsession will never let him go.

Obsessed was part of Dell Abyss’ remarkable horror line, lauded by none other than Stephen King.

About Author Rick R. Reed:

Danielle at Coffee Time Romance & More just gave my novel, "Waking Up Dead" an outstanding review!!
http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/Boo...skyesavoy.html

Review:

Rating: 4 Cups = Outstanding Great Read

Ava Berry’s life when she was alive might not have been world class, but it was her life. Now that she is dead, Ava is determined to find out who murdered her and why.
Suriyel has worked as a fallen angel for hundreds of years and he is ready to end his job as soul collector. Hoping he needs just a few more souls, he goes to collect Ava’s and finds she is not ready to go. He should have known it was too good to be true that he would have a perfect record.

When Ava finds her niece’s body after a horrendous and strange car crash, she knows she has found the means to catch her killer. Going from a fifty-one year old woman with sags, wrinkles, and cankles to a woman with perky boobs, no cellulite and the sex drive of a nympho has Ava reacting to the sexy Suriyel in ways she normally would not. Even as her hormones have her wanting to jump the yummy fallen angel, Ava continues her hunt for who is killing off her family. As Ava and Suriyel get closer to finding the murderer, Ava will find out her heritage is linked to the killer in a way that is most definitely NOT heavenly.

Waking up Dead is a roll with the punches quirky tale full of funny anecdotes, tantalizing desires and an adventure of a lifetime. Using witty language, hilarious circumstances, and some outrageous characters (like the Elvis impersonator), Skye Savoy takes the reader into an outlandishly romantic comedy. The plot is unique and the characters are so out of this world you can only ponder the great imagination it must have taken to write this novel. While death itself is not a funny thought the way certain family members are attacked by inanimate objects that suddenly come to life had me cracking up. Whether you are a longtime fan of Skye Savoy, or just getting to know her work, you will not want to miss this outrageous tale of death, life and love.

Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel is an e-book available on all digital platforms. It's also going off sale as soon as I get my collection of short stories up. So hurry or you'll miss out.

Lily’s life isn’t going well. Her husband is clueless; her children are rudderless. It's little wonder she seeks comfort in her dreams, unaware that her grandmother’s rubies have transported her back through time to a safer, saner existence.

When she learns that her dream lover is not a dream after all, but a real man who lived and died years before she was born, family problems mount. Because she can’t repair the damage from the past, she vows to stay in the here and now. She almost succeeds when she accidentally sends herself back in time without her return ticket, the rubies.

"Rubies and Other Gems is a wonderful treat for all women, especially those who know the stresses of married life.” Jaidis Shaw of Juniper Grove.

Where Dreams Are Born, in print or digital on all platforms.

It was supposed to be a win-win situation—a safe environment in which to raise a son for single mom Vicky, housekeeping and childcare for widowed Jack. Neither one wants or expects anything more. Then Jack learns his best friend fathered Vicky’s son and now wants partial custody, and he feels threatened. He’s come to care deeply for both, and doesn’t want to lose the family they’ve become. In desperation he offers a radical solution—marriage. Vicky knows she can do worse than marry Jack, but wonders how successful their marriage would be when its only reason for being was to keep from losing her son. Add to this a troubled child with a secret about her dead mother and a vindictive ex bent on revenge and complications abound.

Wendy Hines of Minding Spot says, "Where Dreams Are Born is a captivating, heart-wrenching story of love, loss and hope. A stellar read!"

First two chapters as well as other reviews on joycedebacco.com. Thanks for reading.

THE HARBINGER OF DOOM SAGA

The Harbinger of Doom saga centers around one Lord Angle Theta, an enigmatic warrior of unknown origins and mystical power. No mortal man is his match in battle. No sorcery can contain or confound him. No scholar or sage can outwit him. But for all his skills, he is but one of us; a man, a human, who shares our faults, our dreams, and our ambitions. He boldly strides across the land, fearless, peerless, and cloaked in mystery; all his will bent on righting such wrongs as he deems fit.

Until the day the Gateway opened and turned the world on its head. On that fateful day, Korrgonn came and washed away our dreams. And his outre' realms of chaos set their unholy mark upon our world and claimed it for their own.

Only Theta and his companions see the enemies aligning against us. Only they foresee our end coming -- the end of civilization, the end of the world of man. Only they can hope to turn the tide of madness and preserve all that we hold dear.

But no man, not even our greatest hero, can stand against the Lords of Chaos and the dark armies of Nifleheim at their command. Fiends that infiltrate unseen within our ranks, that tear down our temples and our traditions; that devour us from within, unseen, unknown, unheralded, and unopposed until the hour grows far too late.

Through the murk and mist that hangs before our eyes, one man only sees true. One man pierces the veil of magic that blinds us all and marks the world as it truly is, revealing secrets, secrets of Angle Theta, so horrifying as to shatter a man's mind and call into question the very nature of good and evil.
Join us now on our journey back to the days of high adventure.
