Mina’s Daughter: The Harker Chronicles

Ever since she turned eighteen, Katherine Wilhelmina Harker has been keeping a horrible secret; she craves human blood. But she has no idea where this terrible thirst comes from - all she knows is that her father is dead…

Come to me

I can see you watching

stop the useless flirting

I know whats on your mind, its on mine too

I'm not asking for much, just satisfaction

Don't want a lasting relationship

just something quick

no emotions are needed

just you me and the moment

So stop with the quick glances and the shy smiles

just walk over and show me that we want the same thing.

Hahaha! XD

WARNING: This is not a kid’s book. Yes, the humor and wit is bent toward adults and this story is just flat out funny. Robert Ford has put together a tongue in cheek barnburner from the synopsis to the last page. He directed me to make a cover that represented a 1950’s old school flav to match his direction. If you have ever seen movies like “Airplane” with Leslie Nielsen, well you could picture him somewhere in here, which is the type of humor Robert Ford has gone after. In my estimation he…

I have to admit I have seen RENT the play, not on Broadway , but at the local high near me Harry S. Truman High School. They were the first high school to do it as the pilot, and they rocked. Anyway why am I writing this blog post? What is 180 days exactly besides six months or 259,200minutes? Well for us at Trestle Press it is a number of things:

-We have gone well over one hundred titles published, both full length and digital short stories

-We have novels that are not just…

Years ago I was diving at Martinique in the French Carribean. At place called Diamond Rock. I was at about 130 feet, just loafing along looking at the broken coral, sand and sea grass bottom when something caught my eye. At that depth, all color has for the most part vanished to be replaced with the ocean's endless monochrome blues, grays and blacks.

But suddenly in the midst of all the subdued pallet,  I was hit square in the eyes by a spot of indescribably brilliant, neon…

I like to wake and see one of the stories I did the cover of charting on Amazon. In this case it is Amazon UK in the Kindle area. Darren Sant slammed headfirst into two categories already only after a day of release:

 #8,793 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

    #52 in Books > Crime, Thrillers & Mystery > Short Stories

    #100 in Kindle Store > Books > Fiction > Short Stories 

Now really how can you enjoy a series…

I have been getting some questions lately about my Goodreads account: Why do some of the novels in your “currently reading” area stay there for so long? Pretty simple really: I don’t like to post on a novel until after I interview the author. I have been fortunate to have had on some great guests on my blogtalk show The G-ZONE, just incredible awesome people and interviews. I am fortunate that many of them have such a great time they want to return. I also am fortunate to make some new…

I'm browsing around authors.com, and there seems to be a lot of authors that are 'into' vampires. I'm almost finished with 'Interview with a Real Vampire,' a book about a guy who claims to be and believes himself to be a real vampire. I'm an editor, but I don't like to edit my own work. Are there any editors who would be interested in trading manuscripts?

Sexiness exudes from your Godly being. Sexiness, not exagerrated, in its truest meaning.

I feel it surround me when you're in my space.

I desire you.  I wish I could take your girlfriend's place.

Even for one day, just one passionate night.  Even just for 30 minutes of sexual delight.

I wanted to start the week off with this; it sizzles. I have been a Brad Thor fan since his first novel and have enjoyed his work ever since. Apparently there are many others like me out there; his popularity just seems to soar with each new novel. “Full Black” is a major political statement and commentary on our way of life. Do I agree with all of it? Hey I was taught not to discuss politics and religion when I am talking to friends so I am staying away from that. The novel was a barnburner…

Here is something on the book:

““Dave Lieber’s latest book, Bad Dad, has a cogent message. It is a great gift for any parent and an entertaining read with its measures of chuckles…

each touch is like fire to my skin,

lighting each desire within,

a hug,a caress feels like power surging thre my body,

it's exotic,erotic,making me feel naughty,

you see others touch is new to me,

each feeling sets my soul free,

i stand alone as i walk my path,

the only things i feel is hate and wrath,

yet when someone touches this virgin skin,

fire egnites deep within,

i want more,it's like a drug to me,

my breath…

When I think of the things that I coulda been

When I think what I coulda been

When I think what I coulda been

What a great guy ain't one of them

When I look back on my life

So much laughter so much strife

So much pain for me to lend

Wish I'd been a better friend

I've swam the depths and I don't care

That smiling faces hide despair

Kill the planet scream it's not fair

My heart beats cold in…

“Before the Dawn of Civilization an advanced culture named the Zep Tepi encountered a race of spirit beings called the Annunaki. The Zep Tepi were benevolent and were…

        We get caught up in the stream of our fates, and we get too busy in the traffic of our lives, and we forget sometimes how special it is and how many aspects it has: you can see it once as this cruel prison, as these boring hours you spend trying to find a way towards stardom or success, or as an opened window from which light and hope come out… I discovered this truth on Monday, as we decided to visit an old friend in Beirut; and I…
