Night Owl Reviews Gives Ballistic 4 Stars!
Stesha of Night Owl Reviews loved Trey Dowell's Ballistic, saying:
Ballistic is a snappy short story just chalk full of violence, nasty language and a thrilling chase. The story is sharp, well written, and entertaining. A nice little bite of thrill. Check out the full review. Quote:

Serendipity House. Now with new cover and lower price.
Sylvie was a pleaser. She did as her mother pleased, and she did as her fiancé pleased. Then she did as she pleased. Determined to take back her life, she heads to the hills instead of the altar on the day she’s to wed. Coming across a quaint, country inn with an intriguing name, she impulsively checks in. Peopled with an odd assortment of characters, the inn has clearly seen better days; even the regulars have a bit of wear on them. So when Alex arrives and is strangely comfortable vacationing among the geriatric set, Sylvie is wary and tries to ignore him. But Alex will not be ignored, pushing her buttons until she admits, if only to herself, that she's falling in love with him. Not until she's hired to manage the inn does she learn he's not the businessman he pretends to be, but a streetwise PI hired by her ex to find her. Adding insult to injury, he buys the inn and asks for her help in restoring it to its former glory. “The story was wonderful. I loved Sylvie. She is trying so hard to be her own woman. I can relate to her in so many ways. I think that is one of the reasons I enjoyed this book as much as I did.” Rita of Rita Reviews. |

CRUEL JUSTICE (DI Lorne Simpkins Book 1) A serial killer taunts the police...And he has his sights on DI Lorne Simpkins The headless body of a wealthy widow is discovered decomposing in Chelling Forest. Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins and her partner, DS Pete Childs are assigned to the case. A few days later another victim, this time a young girl, is discovered. Who could the killer be and what's the connection between the two victims? Then after a third murder, the killer contacts Lorne with a grisly surprise. It looks like Lorne has a serial killer on her hands - and one that has become fixated on her. As she tries to solve the crimes, Lorne is also coping with a failing marriage and a new, unsympathetic boss with whom she has a secret past. Then, as she begins to despair at the lack of clues, help arrives from an unlikely source. Approx 88,000 words http://www.amazon.com/Cruel-Justice-.../dp/B005QOY4FM http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruel-Justic.../dp/B005QOY4FM http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/92647 Last edited by Dr. Drib; 10-29-2011 at 08:04 AM. |

The Gateway, Book 1 of my fantasy series Harbinger of Doom is now available for FREE from Amazon! See link below. Get yours while you can!
 Below is some info on my epic fantasy series, Harbinger of Doom. BTW - Book 1, The Gateway, won 3rd Best Fantasy Novel of 2009 in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll. Summary of Reader Reviews: “...as good as any fantasy tale you will read, it honors the tradition, and adds to our lore a story so good, so well told, I hope it will be remembered forever.” *--- Rai Aren, co-author of Secret of the Sands [edited - guidelines for length - MODERATOR] --- R.M. Putnam, author of Destiny’s Warriors “...the action never stops.” --- Susan McLeod, author of Soul and Shadow “...A great adventure which I could not put down...” -- Larry B. Gray. “...an excellent foray into dark story adventure.” -- Jacamo Peterson, author of A Hard Place: A Sergeant's Tale, and Blademaster of Norda. 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.

Where Dreams are Born, a Kindle or print book from an indie author with a small, indie publisher.
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. Life, however, has more in store than either one imagines. “There is a rather intriguing story involving a cast of characters that have very real problems. Life isn’t neat and predictable and neither is this story. DeBacco does a really good job of getting the reader invested in the outcome of this unusual pairing. Enjoy.” S. Wurman of Night Owl Reviews. |

[Image - guidelines for size - MODERATOR] THE LINCOLN LETTER: Hidden deep within the annals of American history lies a secret so devastating, it could put an end to the “United” States forever. A letter, written by President Abraham Lincoln himself, concedes the Civil War and grants autonomy to the Confederate States of America. Michelle Hooper and her son Aiden pack up to go away on a weekend of historical entertainment in the little town of Gettysburg and find themselves instead the guardians of a secret document that threatens the very future of the country they hold so dear.

In a universe where the fate of free worlds hangs in the balance, can one man make a difference? Military spy Aaron Taylor joins the Resistance in a bid to hold back the tides of war--or maybe spark one.
I'm very proud and incredibly excited (and a little nervous) to release (and promote) my first full-length novel, Epsilon: Broken Stars, the first book in the Epsilon series. It's a book and series that's been more than a decade in the making.  The Resistance is a thin line of defense for the free planets of the Borderworlds. The strip of former colonies forms a shrinking boundary between the Earth-controlled Drilin Imperium and the Epsilon Alliance, superpowers locked in a cold war a hundred years old. It’s a no-man’s land home to billions living under the constant threat of Imperium invasion, a place where the Alliance dares not intercede for fear of sparking all-out war. Aaron Taylor knows what’s at stake when he volunteers to join the Resistance. The son of an Imperium general, the Alliance-trained military spy’s existence can be officially disavowed at a moment’s notice. It’s work that’s already cost him everything he holds dear–including his beloved partner of seven years. He joins the Resistance as a man with nothing left to lose at a time when the Resistance needs men like him the most. It’s far from the disorganized rabble both the Alliance and the Imperium think it is, but without more able hands, the Borderworlds are doomed. Soon, he begins to believe as they do–that there’s no hope for humanity without the men and women willing to fight and die for their homes on the border. Torn between duty to both, when the chips are down, which will Taylor choose: the Alliance that made him, or the Resistance that made him its own? Available for all major formats: Amazon ~ Amazon UK ~ Amazon DE ~ Amazon FR Barnes and Noble Smashwords Apple, Kobo, etc etc coming soon. Reviews/tags are appreciated. I'm also on GoodReads. |

Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel. Women's fiction with a time-travel twist.
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. “Overall, this was a quick and quite enjoyable read.” Grace Krispy of Motherlode. Sample more than four chapters at Smashwords or the first two of Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel on my website. Visitors welcome. |

What's in a Name? now 99 cents
 Running for the wrong reason can still get you killed. Kelli Carpenter has changed her name, her appearance—her life—to avoid being connected to a crime she committed in self defense years ago. But just when she thinks she has nothing to fear, handsome stranger Blake Windsor shows up. He claims to be the handyman her boss sent to help complete the project she's working on—Camp Getaway—a place where inner city kids will get respite from concrete and drive-bys. Being a loner has kept her alive, and Kelli's instincts tell her to leave. But without Blake's help, the refuge for inner city children won't be completed on time. Against her instincts, she accepts his help. Blake Windsor, a corporate executive, accepted his boss's request to find out if Kelli Carpenter is really a woman his boss thinks he knew years before. He begrudgingly returns to the blue-collar construction lifestyle he vowed to leave behind, hoping doing this favor will advance his career. The woman he meets bears little resemblance to the woman he's supposed to find, but something about her mystifies him, and he decides to continue with his deception to learn more about her. When someone makes an attempt on Kelli's life, she runs—but she takes Blake with her. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer is her philosophy. And Kelli is convinced Blake knows something that will link her to her former lover's death, ending her life as she knows it. What's in a Name? is full of twists and turns as Blake and Kelli try to keep one step ahead of whoever is following them—while they try to figure out why. Buy links here |

Serendipity House. Now with new cover and lower price.
A runaway bride and the PI hired to locate her get more than they bargained for at a rundown country inn filled with senior citizens. Bobby of Bookwenches says, "Joyce DeBacco’s novel Serendipity House is a story about love, family, and perseverance set in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. It features a heroine who is trying to get out from under the thumb of an overbearing mother, a hero who has too many secrets, the young couple who help run the inn, a handful of lovable geriatrics, and a shadowy antagonist who lurks in the background. If you enjoy a family-oriented style of romance that proceeds at a leisurely pace and that is populated with characters who seem like people you might know, then Serendipity House should probably be on your reading list." |
