A Destiny to Die For by Rik Stone
Thriller/Suspense
ANGELITA – little angel. Boy did Mama ever get that wrong when she was naming her daughter – one of eight children she would raise in an illegal favela in Recife, Brazil; a place where dreams turn to apathy, apathy to frustration and frustration to violence. It is to this childhood that Angelita’s mind turns as she sits in the café, nursing her horrific wounds. One eye is destroyed by a blowlamp, the other watches her fingers trying to stem the blood flow from her side – and fail. The smell of cordite hangs in the air and she is surrounded by the dead and dying – her own people and ENZO’s. All she can hope is that he dies first. But that would be of little consolation considering the unborn child she carries. She can only hope and pray that CHICO will arrive soon.

Crueler and More Unusual by Erik Dean
Science Fiction, Horror, Short Stories
Here are four stories of judicial horror from the award-winning author of Cryptic, Erik Dean.
DUMMY
Robert Holman failed to heed the warnings and an innocent night out turns into a nightmare. What punishment is fitting for this Dummy? He realizes too late that being sorry is not enough, and that there's no hiding from the vengeful hand of fate.
EARLY RELEASE
An amendment to the US Constitution allows for grieving families to apply for Early Release for the prisoners who murdered their loved ones. The prisoner is set loose and the family has twenty-four hours to exact their revenge. If they don't kill the prisoner within 24 hours, they're awarded their freedom.
Kelvin Heyer, a bank robber, is the lucky winner this time. Will he outrun his victim’s vengeful family long enough with a little help from a Friend?
PUBLIC POOL
Best friends and business partners Carlos and Luis are thrilled when their swimming pool design company wins the lucrative bid to build new public pools in Phoenix, Arizona. Their delight is spoiled by a business rival and Carlos’s growing—and mutual—attraction to Maria, Luis’s wife. Lust, passion, and greed quickly build up to murder and betrayal.
BROKEN JUSTICE
In the future, trials take place in small pods instead of courtrooms and most cars are driverless. Holly Barlow is one of the few people who still prefers to drive her own car, but she is caught speeding and must pay a fine. She quickly learns that the court pods do more than simply accept payments for fines—they can also vaporize lawbreakers, carrying out executions instantly... and automated systems are known to break down from time to time.

Solitaire: Magda Goebbels: A Banality of Ambition and Evil
Historical Fiction (novella)
"What can drive a woman to the depths of depravity?
Solitaire is the ambitious, seductive and macabre story of the "unofficial" First Lady of the Third Reich, Magda Goebbels.
On May 1, 1945, after Adolf Hitler commits suicide, Magda murders six of her seven children and sits down to play solitaire in the Fuhrerbunker, as she waits for her husband, Josef, to return so they can execute themselves in the Reich Chancellery gardens.
Magda goes on a retrospective quest for redemption, examining her loving relationship with her Jewish stepfather, Richard Friedlander and her first love, Chaim Arlosoroff, a Zionist leader. She is forced to confront her indefinable desire for "more"... which inevitably leads to the woman she had become --- a banality of ambition and evil. Her obsession with her public image as the paragon of German womanhood has blinded her to the humanity of others, including her own. It was a life that ran a parallel course with the rise and fall of Nazi Germany."

God and Man: Love on the Rocks by Steven Rosner
Inspirational/Spirituality
“On the Rocks,” was originally a phrase used for ships which ran aground and broke apart. But nothing could be a better metaphor to describe God’s relationship with man — For God created us with love and gave us His heart and soul:
"And God created Man in His Own Likeness;"
"In God’s image created He him; both male and female".
Alas, ever since Cain slew Abel, our relationship with God has been on the rocks. Throughout the Millennia, we have totally failed to act in accordance with His relatively few requirements. At best, we have ignored Him, but mostly mocked, disparaged, and treated Him with disdain. We have abrogated our responsibility, whether as an individual or nation, have engaged non-stop in the worst evil imaginable, causing Him untold suffering.
Is it any wonder then, why God is estranged from us; why there is unrelenting havoc in our lives; why the world is falling apart; why suffering is prevalent at every level? Indeed, with regimes such as North Korea having nuclear capability, there is a very real danger of a nuclear holocaust. No individual, no nation is immune! Isn’t it time we re-evaluated our behavior and altered it—to repair our relationship with God and gain His many blessings?
But to understand how, we need to know something about God, something about ourselves, something about religion, and something about history.
This book provides that understanding: It covers Scripture and science, God and His attributes, and Man—including his Free Will, Soul, Body and Mind. It addresses Good and Evil, the nature of each, and the role Satan plays in our lives. It reviews six major religions, and shows that at their core they are virtually identical. We will learn that God desires very little of us—regardless of our culture, religion, or ethnicity. In simple terms, He wants us to be righteous, do justice, and love compassion. He also longs for a relationship with man, and we will document not only multiple examples of Divine Providence, but how to engage God real-time! For while God may be ineffable, He is not unreachable!
Rather, He wants to do our Will, and only wishes to shower us with blessings—provided we deserve them. Finally, you will discover that one person—you—can save the world!
