What is your deepest desire?

Obsidian Dreams

by A. Riebold

Genre: Dark Romance 

Zara Whitaker is a 34-year-old graphic designer who seems to have everything going for her-on paper. But in reality, Zara is bored. She's tired of enduring the same dates with different men, men who leave her feeling unsatisfied both in and out of the bedroom. The endless cycle of self-centered partners and unfulfilled desires has left her in a state of perpetual sexual frustration.

Desperate for change, Zara confides in her best friend, Lena, who recently married and is basking in newlywed bliss. Lena hands her a simple business card with the name Obsidian Dreams on it, promising Zara that it's the answer to all her problems. Zara can't help but be skeptical-it sounds too good to be true.

But when she reaches out to Blade, the enigmatic and mysterious owner of Obsidian Dreams, Zara discovers someone who not only understands her but is eager to help her explore her deepest desires. That is, if she can figure out what those desires truly are...

Blade, on the other hand, is bored with the routine requests from his clients at Obsidian Dreams. He's been longing for someone who can push his boundaries, someone who can reignite the passion he's been missing. When he's contacted by 'Red'-Zara's chosen alias-he's convinced he's finally found the right person. With the help of his best friends, Raven and Shadow, the three of them set out to create an experience for Zara that she will never forget.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Motive The Redemption Detective Agency Book 1 by Michele Pariza Wacek Genre: Cozy Mystery

 

  

A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases. Great for fans of the Thursday Murder Club.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic.

Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She's lost her job, her fiancé and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption, Wisconsin.

But, beggars can't be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend to work at her aunt's latest hair-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective Agency.

Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she's remotely qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like Redemption?

But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she's doing ... or an innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)

My name is Jeanne Ward, I am a mother of three, grandmother of two and a business owner.  Family is everything to me.  Me and my eldest brother married siblings, creating a unique environment of double cousins and a close-knit family.   I live in Brooklyn NY where I own and operate an Early intervention program for young children with autism.  I opened my school in 1998, and I have all 3 of my siblings, had all 3 of my children, my daughters-in-laws, all my nieces and nephew, and my uncle work there at one time or another.  Additionally, I have my brother and brother-in-law who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the school remains a success.  I am a special educator, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and love what I do for a living.

My eldest are twins.  One lives right outside Asheville North Carolina with his wife and daughter.  He, like me, is a special educator and a BCBA. Although he has a physics degree from NYU, he found a passion working with children with autism after he graduated college and working for me while applying to graduate school.   My other son, my partner in these books has moved back from Nashville Tenn and currently lives in Newburgh NY with his wife and newborn son.  My youngest, Phoenix, will leave for High Point University in North Carolina in a month.   I lost my husband to cancer nearly 6 years ago and I am about to be an empty nester.  It is my sincere hope to spend my days writing Noah Guy stories, running my school and being the best mom and grandma I can be.

The Dance

 

 Nonfiction

Date Published: September 8, 2024

 

 

The Dance is a gripping memoir that chronicles one man's harrowing journey through the depths of medical and emotional adversity, emerging on the other side with newfound strength and hope. Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the author's life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with Central Pontine Myelinolysis (CPM) after battling alcohol withdrawal. Paralyzed, trapped in his own body, and unable to communicate, he faces unimaginable challenges—both physical and emotional.

With raw honesty, the author recounts his time in the hospital, sharing deeply personal experiences of fear, isolation, and the surreal hallucinations that offered him a strange escape. His story is punctuated by moments of humor, such as the unlikely companionship of a loud, cocaine-loving Irish roommate, and moments of deep introspection as he navigates his darkest days.

But The Dance is more than a tale of suffering—it's a story of survival, resilience, and the unyielding human spirit. As the author slowly regains his abilities through painstaking rehabilitation, he draws strength from his faith, his love for his son, and a simple but powerful promise: to one day dance with the woman he loves.

A testament to the power of hope, love, and faith, The Dance is an inspiring reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

About the Author

Frank J. Visosky Jr. is a passionate storyteller and resilient survivor, drawing inspiration from his personal journey of overcoming central pontine myelinolysis and navigating life in a nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic. With a deep connection to his roots in New York City, Frank's experiences are richly colored by his love for music, especially the vibrant rhythms of merengue and bachata, which he once danced to along Dyckman Street. A devoted husband and father, he made a promise to his future wife, Rose, during his recovery—a promise to one day dance again. His work captures the strength of the human spirit, the power of love, and the importance of family, often reflecting the cherished moments he spent with his son, like feeding turtles by the pond.
