Obsidian Dreams
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.

this spicy suspense thriller about a marriage filled with passion,
secrets, and suspicions.
Morgan Murphy has always
longed for a romance for the ages. And she’s found it with husband
Kyle Murphy—until their spicy marriage suddenly starts to cool
off.
Is Kyle preoccupied and distant because of a problem
with his development project? Or is it something worse? Could Kyle
Murphy be…cheating? He’s hiding something, that’s for sure. And
Morgan’s determined to find out what it is.
With the
help of gal pal Carla Flores, Morgan tracks her husband’s
movements, and the signs increasingly point to infidelity, the
ultimate sin in Morgan’s book. When Kyle increases their life
insurance and surprises her with a weekend getaway to get their mojo
back, she goes on the offensive and hatches a plan to make him come
clean about what’s been going on.
But before she can
pull it off, Morgan’s attacked and nearly kidnapped, and Kyle
vanishes from the resort without a trace. With no clue as to who took
Kyle or why, she’s not sure who is the biggest threat: the shady

Kyle a lesson. With the clock ticking, she needs to find out
soon.
Before they come for her, too.

Devil In the Desert
In 1942, Major Ray
Hawkins must assemble a unit of civilians and military to keep the Nazis from
releasing a desert djinn against the Allied forces in North Africa. They will
have to employ conventional warfare and unconventional witchcraft to accomplish
the mission.
Devil in the Desert
Office of Supernatural Directives Book 1
by Russell James
Genre: Historical Horror
It is 1942 and a
secret group within the Nazi SS is on the hunt for objects of the occult,
hoping to harvest their power for wonder weapons to win the war. Its leader,
Gruppenfuhrer Karl Weitz, has more than military might behind him. He has
recruited the Ochre Witch, an Eastern European sorceress capable of adapting
what they seize to serve the Reich’s needs.
Only one team can stop the Axis powers from winning World War II.
Army Major Ray Hawkins is tasked with creating the Office of Supernatural
Directives to stop these fanatics. He assembles a team that includes a female
WASP pilot, an enlisted man with a passion for language and puzzles, a
mysterious American ex-pat from the French Foreign Legion, and a young Romany
woman who will need to embrace the mystic Gypsy teachings she’s spent her life
despising.
Their first mission unfolds in Tunisia, where Weitz and the Ocher Witch plan to
release a djinn the locals call the Devil in the Desert. It wields the power to
spread debilitating fear. If Major Hawkins and his band cannot stop the djinn,
it will sow panic among the Americans and Rommel’s Afrika Korps will crush the
invasion force. But Hawkins’ new team has many weaknesses, and Weitz and the
Ocher Witch will exploit every one of them to win.
Russell R. James was raised on Long Island, New York and spent too much time watching
Chiller, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, and Dark Shadows, despite his parents’
warnings. Bookshelves full of Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe didn’t make
things better. He graduated from Cornell University and the University of
Central Florida.
After
flying helicopters with the U.S. Army and a career as a technical writer, he
now spins twisted tales best read in daylight, including horror thrillers Dark
Inspiration, Q Island, and The Playing Card Killer. He authored the Grant
Coleman Adventures series starting with Cavern of the Damned and the Ranger
Kathy West series starting with Claws. He resides in sunny Florida. His wife
reads his work, rolls her eyes, and says “There is something seriously
wrong with you.”

events unravels before me.
I believed I was leaving behind
all the devastation that tore my world to shreds. I was wrong.
When my beloved uncle left me a
vast inheritance, it came just in time to help me make my escape. But
nowhere in the paperwork did it mention anything about inheriting his
enemies, too.

But maybe selfishness overcame me
I’m living on my family’s
farm with my amazing daughter. There are wonderful men in my life,
and I get to do what I love every day.
Until I woke up in pain, my world
crumbling around me.
I despise being weak, hate
needing to lean on anyone. And I told myself I would never be that
helpless woman again.
Those asshole bikers with their
godlike superiority weren’t responsible for the crimes I laid at
their feet. But they did too much damage to forgive or forget their
indiscretions.
Dare I offer amnesty to those who
have harmed me in the past?
Am I strong enough to survive if
they turn on me a second time?

never knew I could be, but no one harms my family.
I’m lucky to have an entire
motorcycle club, willing to do whatever it takes to help me destroy
my enemies and I’m not afraid to let the Dragon Drillers do their
worst.
Gone is the helpless damsel I
used to be and if the men in my life can’t accept that…well, that
is a them problem.

She Talks to Eagles
by Maggie Blackbird
Genre: Paranormal Time-Travel Romance
He’s shocked that the beautiful girl in the picture is alive…
Maybe the stories of the notorious Route 66 are true. Road
trips don’t result in encountering ghosts, but they do for Collin Bird.
When he spies a beautiful girl hitchhiking during a thunderstorm, he can’t
believe his eyes. It’s Rosemary, a young woman from his Ojibway community
who went missing over forty years ago.
Rosemary Kakeway is dead. Her only hope to reach the
spirit world is Collin. Before departing to the place of her ancestors,
she seeks vengeance against her killers, and Collin is the man to help her do
just that.
A ride with Rosemary through pea-soup fog brings Collin to
1977, where he meets a very much alive nineteen-year-old Rosemary. The
bold and wild girl is nothing like he imagined her to be as she introduces him
to a time he embraces. Knowing they are meant to be together, neither
wishes to say goodbye, but that’s up to Rosemary’s spirit in the twenty-first
century to decide.

Half a Faerie
When
a hunky, human rock star stands up at his best friend’s wedding, he never
expects to encounter vampires, werewolves, and the woman of his dreams. But
she’s not what she seems… she’s half a faerie.
Half a Faerie
Faeries of Door County Book 1
by Toni Cabell
Genre: Clean Paranormal Romantic Comedy
When a hunky, human rock star stands up at his best friend’s wedding, he never
expects to encounter vampires, werewolves, and the woman of his dreams. But
she’s not what she seems… she’s half a faerie.
Will Rossi was the male half of the hottest singing-songwriting team in the
country, until his ex-partner split up their act and left a trail of
unflattering stories in her wake. With paparazzi hounding him and creditors
harassing him, Will desperately needs a change of luck.
Traveling to the Midwest for his buddy’s wedding isn’t the lucky break Will had
in mind—until he meets the wedding planner—and now he can’t stop thinking about
Cassia Spellman. Whatever it takes, Will must see her again, but first he’s
getting his eyes examined—because everyone in her quirky town appears to have
fur, fangs, or wings.
Single mom Cassia has her hands full raising her faerie daughter and planning
weddings for Door County’s supernatural population. The last thing she needs is
Will Rossi in her life, with his velvety brown eyes and stubbled jawline.
Besides, she can’t fall for him anyway—he’s human, she’s half faerie—and the
elder council would never approve. Since Cassia and Will could never be
together, she’s determined to stop thinking about him.
Why can’t Rossi the Rocker just take a hint and go away?
If you’re looking for sweet, slow-burn romance with swoony kisses, second
chances, and funny, heartwarming characters, don’t miss the Faeries of Door
County, a clean paranormal romance series for fans of K. M. Shea and Dusty
Rose. Set in the same interconnected world, each book is a happily-ever-after

SPIRIENCE Book Blast
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions.
Spirience: Experiencing Peace and Prosperity through Spirituality and Science is a unique and comprehensive look at the importance of spirituality and science to guide our day-to-day living at a personal level, and to achieve peace and prosperity at a global. The term ‘spirience’ is a blend of two words: spirituality and science. It captures the essence of spirituality in its prefix “spiri-,” and the domain of science in its suffix “-ence”.
The importance of such a work lies in the challenges faced by the world today, conflicts between nations and ideologies at the global level and the explosion of mental health issues at a personal level. The book will first set the scene to understand the challenges faced by humanity today and the tools that we have to overcome them. An in-depth look at the treasure trove of texts from India’s Vedic past, highlighting the spiritual as well as scientific aspects, will be complemented by a study of the evolution of mankind over the past millennia, changes in the way of life and the current levels of extreme discontinuity brought on by an onrush of technological innovations.
Recommendations for going forward will be presented for the readers to ponder and hopefully incorporate in their personal, professional and social lives. The book will be of great value to anyone interested in or active in personal well-being and global peace and prosperity.
Read an Excerpt
Spirience: A Fusion of ExperiencesBy knowing a single lump of earth, you know all objects made of earth. All changes are mere those of words . . .
Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.1.4Spirience is an experience. It’s my experience, your experience, everyone’s experience. It is an experience that celebrates the solidarity between spirituality and science. Spirituality and science are like flowers and their fragrance; they share an inseparable bond. When it comes to prosperity and achieving inner peace, integrating these two fields proves immensely beneficial. Any discovery or reflection that strays from life proves fruitless. The union of spirituality and science forms a magnificent connection to life’s more profound experiences. While our bodies are crafted from “star stuff,” our souls seek peace and prosperity. We’ve all observed how deeply woven they are into the fabric of our existence, even if only in simple ways.
Today, we live in an era where understanding the interwoven relationship between spirituality and science has become essential. Our connections have extended beyond our families to include those of the larger world. We are even exploring life on other planets, signifying our desire to expand our relationships even further. Our existence now extends from our homes to the cosmos. Today’s human beings see themselves as part of the universe. The ancient Indian scriptures often mention pinḍeṣu brahmāṇḍeṣu—likening the individual self to the cosmos. The microcosm of humankind is reflected in the macrocosm of the universe and vice versa.
The term “spirience” is a blend of two words: spirituality and science. It captures the essence of spirituality in its prefix “spiri-,” and the domain of science in its suffix “-ence.” This innovative term goes beyond its grammatical structure to emphasize the sentiments integrated within. It represents a harmonious fusion of life’s two great streams encapsulated in a single word that symbolizes the profound interconnection between these two realms.
My Journey with Spirience
My journey with the title Spirience is deeply intertwined with a few experiences I’ve had. The concept and title of this book took shape last year when I was in America. I had the fortunate opportunity to witness the creation of the Swaminarayan Akshardham complex in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Akshardham is a beacon of spirituality and culture. While observing its construction, I was captivated by the seamless blend of spirituality and science that expressed itself. It was as though they were intertwined in dance to co-create a rejuvenating spring of inspiration for all of society. It repeatedly felt as though science had lifted spirituality on its shoulders or spirituality had extended a welcoming invitation to science.
About the Authors:
