Gary Starta
Gary Starta writes fiction on the fringe of genre mixing sci fi with mystery, romance, fantasy and suspense. His latest books are Demon Inhibitions and Kindred Killers. His mission is to write full length novels which make the reader wonder (Is fringe science truly possible and what would be its consequences?); ponder (What rights, if any, might we give to sentient artificial life); and be thrilled (Can FBI Agent Diggs stop a genetically-engineered demon?).

9 Incarnate
Science Fiction/Fantasy
In 9 INCARNATE Egypt’s great gods and goddesses arrive by comet bringing hope of unity and secrets of the pyramids. However, the beloved Isis isn’t among the Arrivals and preternatural investigator Caitlin Diggs begins hearing the goddess in her head. Could Diggs’s previous exposure to a crystal artifact substantiate the belief that Isis has stored her essence on Earth and consequently now shares her human body?
Perplexed, Diggs turns to a scientist to explain the Arrivals, not to mention the weirdness which includes a coinciding mass disappearance and assassination of the president. Diggs surmises the deities may be preparing a new Egypt until a lethal threat of global warming emerges. More perplexing, is her co-alignment with Isis an alliance or hindrance? Diggs may have to make the ultimate sacrifice if she is to keep Egypt’s past from ending Earth’s future, and all the while maintain her integrity.

Kindred Killers
Thriller
I really enjoyed this novel and feel Gary Starta does an amazing job telling a murder mystery. He seems to know a lot about procedures of law, but more importantly he seems to know a lot about killers. Jay Fishburne is a private eye and his friend Sid Auerback is a cop. When Jay's clients start dying something doesn't feel quite right about Jay's being close to the victim's. Is it more than just a coincidence? It will take the work of Investigator Stanford Carter and his fiance Jill Seacrest to dig into the mystery and find out what's really happening. Gary Starta rights a great mystery with enough twists to keep readers on the edge of their seats and trying to out guess the investigators.

I Bought the Sun for a Dollar
|
new adult, contemporary, romantic suspense
You’re probably familiar with the concept of six degrees of separation, whereby you and everyone on the planet can be connected through a chain of no more than five intermediaries. This small world theory has been considered for almost ninety years and like all theories it may not yet be proven. Still, connections, whether remote or in our faces may impact us more than we can ever realize. My idea for I Bought the Sun for a Dollar centers around the universe and how it twirls and spirals all around us, far away and sometimes close, allowing objects such as the planets and ever our precious sun to at one time or another, impact our emotions, feelings or thoughts through connectivity. We have all felt the sun’s rays but most have never maybe even seen Jupiter through a telescope let alone pondered it. That doesn’t matter. The universe’s effect upon all of us may be unconscious for the most part. And just like the tug of the moon on a tide, we are unwittingly moved by astral bodies just as much as we may be from a not so pleasant conversation with a motorist or a heavenly encounter with a beautiful ‘human’ body. Near or far, short or long, there is impact. Quantum entanglement is a theory that helps to prove this idea whereby two objects may be in the same place at the same time, even though separated by great distances. This idea posited by Einstein is considered even more valid today as theoretical physicists test particles by separating them and discovering there could be communication via some as yet explained means at light speed. Does everything in effect communicate, and if so, does this communication set an outcome for good or bad? It is believed that plants possess a form of communication and taking that idea farther, maybe the planet itself communicates with the universe in a language to be named later. |
Just as intriguing is that astrology may be more valid than some think as the position of the planets could have an impact upon yourself and your actions. If so, our actions may be always influenced. But I’d like to think we hold some percentage of control regarding our final actions and choices.
