Horror/Psychological

Publisher: Deadbolt Books
After a horrific incident fifteen years ago, theater director Mike O’Brien never planned to return to Seattle. But when his estranged best friend sends him a script he can’t ignore, Mike finds himself back in the city with a spotlight on his troubled past.
As rehearsals begin, so do the nightmares. Strange figures keep him up at night, the production is plagued by one horrific accident after another, and everywhere he goes he can’t help but see the same message: Kill Beth. The strange thing is, Mike doesn’t know anyone named Beth, or how he could ever be capable of killing anyone.
When his world descends into chaos, Mike has to ask if he’s being haunted by his past, or if there is some sinister force working behind the curtain to derail his life.

Ellis Isaacs falls in love with his new boss, silver fox Richard Quillen, but worries Richard will find him inaccessible or cold. Will the older man see Ellis’s true heart and return his feelings?
Longer Blurb
At the Kissinger-Mann detective agency, the mystery of love is solved just as often as crimes. When detective Ellis Isaacs joins the agency, he falls in love with his silver fox of a boss, Richard Quillen. However, Ellis faces two big problems: He tends to fall for straight men, and even when he doesn’t, Ellis’s ex-boyfriends claim he is inaccessible or even cold. Also, he has no idea how Richard will react to the age gap between them.
As Ellis works hard to spend time with Richard outside of work, problem after problem unfolds. Is Richard straight, or is he already dating a male co-worker? Is the age gap a problem, or is the issue Ellis’s reputation for being cold? Will this older, wiser man see Ellis’s true heart and return his feelings, or will Ellis’s heart remain hidden?
Excerpt
Ellis steeled himself and headed across the hallway to Richard’s office. On the strength of the single donut he had eaten on the way there and half a cappuccino, Ellis paused in the doorway and gathered his nerve. It was time to ask the man out for coffee.
Richard was already seated at his desk, wearing a dark gray suit and a maroon bowtie. He read over papers that filled a manila folder. As expected, he was breathtakingly handsome.
Ellis took another sip of cappuccino for courage and then spoke. “Sorry to interrupt you, but I have a question.”
Richard glanced up. “Hm?” He met Ellis’s gaze and gave him a smile. “Not at all. What is it? I’m always here to help.”
If only you could help in the way that I wish you would. “I’d like to get coffee with you sometime this week. At lunch, maybe? Or tomorrow morning? We could even go after work, if that’s better timing.” Ellis’s heart pounded. He always hated this part: setting himself up for rejection.
“Well, sure,” Richard said. “Be glad to. We could get some coffee tomorrow morning if you’re an early bird like me, or we can have lunch. I know a café not far from here that has great sandwiches and decent coffee.” He looked curious, one eyebrow lifting, although he didn’t ask any questions.
“Lunch is perfect,” Ellis said. “Let’s shoot for noon today.” This was the closest he had ever gotten to asking an older man out on a date. Despite his miserable track record with men in general, he’d managed to go on dates with men his own age. That was how he knew he wasn’t interested in getting serious with any of them. At securing a lunch with Richard, Ellis felt a smile threatening to overtake his face, and his heart still raced. “We can always leave a couple of minutes early or late depending on how our mornings go.”
“True,” Richard said. “All right. As soon as you’re ready for lunch, stop by. I’m just doing paperwork today.” There was a kind twinkle in his eyes.
“Great!” Ellis headed up to the third floor to his office, his dour Monday morning officially turned around. I asked a silver fox out for coffee, and he actually said yes.

Eska’s life has been shaped by the constant threat of the wilds—and the even greater danger posed by the church.
In their secluded home beyond the city walls, Eska was taught the skills to survive in a world teeming with monstrous creatures, her childhood marked by rigorous training, resourceful hunting and unyielding discipline.
Beneath her exterior lies a dangerous secret: her mastery of Bloodcraft, a rare and forbidden magic that allows her to manipulate her own blood as a weapon.
The church views her power as heresy, branding those like her as abominations. Their relentless hunt for Bloodcraft users has forced Eska and Oblea to live a life of quiet exile, far from the safety of the towering walls that protect humanity.
But the wilds are unforgiving and no amount of isolation can keep Eska hidden forever. As whispers of her existence reach dangerous ears, Eska's carefully constructed world begins to unravel and her survival skills are put to the ultimate test.

To Wash Or Not To Wash Book Blitz #rabtbooktours
Clean, Dirty, or Just Confused?
The Hygiene & Beauty Dilemma You Didn’t Know You Had
Health & Beauty, Non-Fiction
Date Published: May 24, 2025
You brush, rinse, scrub, shave, exfoliate, moisturize, pluck, dab, blot, and maybe—just maybe—wonder if it’s all a bit much. Spoiler: It might be.
In "To Wash or Not to Wash" - Clean, Dirty, or Just Confused? The Hygiene & Beauty Dilemma You Didn’t Know You Had, author Andreas Baku takes a hilariously honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and oddly enlightening journey through modern hygiene and beauty habits. With entertaining humor and sharp insight, he unpacks everything from deodorant dilemmas to skin-care scams—and asks the ultimate question: Are we doing all this for health, hygiene, and our beauty… or just for show?
What to Expect Inside:
- The truth about how often you should shower (and what you’re doing to your poor skin)
- The razor reality: shaving myths, routines, and eco-friendly alternatives
- A breakdown of what we’re spending (and overspending) in the name of “freshness”
- Deep dives into deodorant, face wash, anal hygiene (yes, we go there), and beauty marketing madness
- Quizzes, checklists, cultural insights, and a whole lot of myth-busting
Smart, funny, and unfiltered, this book will make you laugh, cringe, question your habits, and maybe rethink that 12-step “clean girl” routine.
Whether you’re hygiene-obsessed, beautifully indifferent, or somewhere in between—this book is your permission to clean up smarter, not harder.
About the Author
Andreas Baku is a humor-driven, credit-card-surviving author who turns everyday chaos into clever commentary. Best known for his entertaining yet insightful takes on health, hygiene, and life’s messier corners, Andreas believes personal care should come with fewer rules and a lot more laughter.
His latest book, To Wash or Not to Wash, was born from years of following his daughter—and his wife—through beauty aisles like a lost puppy. Watching them shop in a trance, testing serums like they were on a reality game show, and casually racking up receipts longer than a CVS coupon list, Andreas had a realization: it was time to write a book. Not just for the overwashed or underwashed, but for the utterly confused.
Before this, Andreas tackled fast food culture with Fast Food Made Healthy and Comida Rápida Hecha Saludable, empowering readers to enjoy their guilty pleasures without the guilt. His writing blends smart research, practical advice, and just the right amount of sarcasm—whether he's debunking skincare myths or helping you survive a drive-thru with your dignity intact.
Now in his early 50s, Andreas has embraced his second act as an author, using his voice to demystify modern wellness, clean living, and the illusion of perfection we’ve all been sold.

Who will be safe when a dream figure becomes real?
Blurb
Naive dreamer Fenimore James goes west to become a famous outlaw, but his fantasies of glamorous robberies quickly evaporate when he joins the Red Evans gang, finding himself caught in a strange and bloody game, where gang members are suddenly being murdered one-by-one at the hand of a mysterious pursuer, who leaves cryptic signs scarifying their bodies. As his nights become plagued by a bizarre dream figure––the Man In Black, he also begins to question his sexuality, falling for a fellow male gang member, whom he feared just recently.
Excerpt
Sometime later I had a strange dream, which I still remember in great detail, as if I only saw it yesterday: I’m sitting in a hut by a frost-covered window and watching a stagecoach arrive in the yard. It seems to me that my new friends are also somewhere in the house, but this is more of a feeling, because I don’t really see them anywhere.
I get up and walk outside. The door does not open into the house, but outward––so I force it hard with all my weight, because there is one hell of a snowdrift on the porch. After a couple of violent shoves, it finally swings open. Everything is white all around––continuous snowy expanses and a snow-covered forest are in front, blackened with tree trunks. And some sort of mountains. I look at the stagecoach and notice that it is also all black, and the horses are black too.
Even before I have time to call out to the intruders, the coachman climbs down off the beam and walks in my direction. A tall––very tall––man in a tattered black coat with fluttering hemlines and a worn black hat. He stops a yard away from me and says he’s looking for Red Evans. I answer that Red is in the house and inquire who’s asking for him.
“He knows,” the man replies in a low, hollow voice, as if speaking from underwater.
I keep trying to see his face, but I can’t. The twilight is still light, and the whiteness of the snow illuminates everything all around. But the man’s face is still not visible in the shadow of his wide-brimmed hat and high collar. I feel goosebumps rise, and I want to run for the hills––from this figure in black––without stopping. But I nod, go into the house to search for Red and find him sitting with Monty and Doug in front of a bright fireplace. The color scheme of the entire dream is black, white, and blue; and only the fire is blood red.
I tell the boss that so-and-so, some guy arrived and announced that he was an acquaintance. Then Red reluctantly gets up from his place, and we all go outside. We go out of the house, but there is no stagecoach anymore. No stagecoach, no mysterious guest. Here, of course, they ridicule me, and I scream, convincing them that I saw everything with my own eyes, heard the creak of wheels, the clatter of hooves.
“Maybe,” I suggest, “the guest has already left?”
To which they ask me, “Where are the tracks then?”
And indeed there are no tracks either. Only an endless cover of pristine snow and the prints of our own boots from the doorstep. I remain alone in the yard and continue to stand in the deepening twilight and stupidly stare at the sparkling snowdrifts, trying to understand what happened. And, it seems, there was nothing special in this dream. However, it left an unpleasant feeling in my soul for a very long time.
