COVER REVEAL - MOTH by SEAN POINDEXTER
The new thriller by Sean Poindexter will be available for download on Wednesday, September 25, 2013.
Social Worker Max Hollingsworth is no stranger to the otherworldly. But when he’s called upon to investigate a missing child, he stumbles upon a deeper mystery.
Children are vanishing and no one, not even their parents, remembers them. Suspicion turns to Neo-Nazi vampires and humans running a child slavery ring, but even that is only the beginning. For help he turns to friends, old and new, but even they might not be enough. When new enemies turn deadly, old enemies become allies, including the least likely ally of all: an enemy whose cruelty and evil was almost his end, and haunts him still.

The New and Improved Hot Cauldron
I am so happy to announce that Ambrosia Arts has revamped my short story anthology, The Hot Cauldron. Yes, these are the same stories, but with much better editing and formatting. I am pleased and excited. They also revamped the cover and it is hot and smoking. Thank you Jacquelynn Gagne and Kristy Charbonneau.

Michael Loring -Dehumanized
Michael Loring
Authors Bio: Michael Loring was born in Bristol, Connecticut, but has lived in a variety of places such as Florida and Tennessee. He likes to think of himself as an amateur Lycanthropologist, studying werewolves ever since he was eight years old when he first saw An American Werewolf In London. He spent most of his life switching between home school and public school, always focusing on his passion of writing no matter what. His interest in writing was sparked in the second grade when his teacher encouraged him to write short stories for the class, earning him more than one award at school assemblies for Creative Writing.
He currently resides back in his birthplace of Connecticut with a house full of women who like to drive him up the wall until he finishes his chores. Though they seem to avoid him during the night of the full moon for some unexplainable reason… Important Links:

Moving Forward - Ambrosia Arts
This August, I will celebrate my one year anniversary as an Indie Author. This adventure has been filled with many ups and few downs. My latest accomplishment gives me even greater hope. I have been picked up by Ambrosia Arts. I was formerly with Midnighthour Publishing but unfortunately things did not work out. That's life. If everything goes well, two of my books will be available on a much larger circuit. I hope that each of you joins me on the ride and continues to like what I do and pass it on. I am thankful to the team at Ambrosia, especially Jacquelynn Gagne, who supports my work and reminds me that I can do this.https://www.facebook.com/AmbrosiaArts

Excerpt from The Return
I used Grammarly to
grammar check
this post, because I can only come up with the ideas, the tool to write it as it should be, belongs to Grammarly.
And yes, there are errors in this piece, check out what Grammarly said:

[image error] The Return:
The following afternoon, they neared a familiar spot where the waters were clear and the rocks were many.
"Mother, I thought you said we would be longer. You are stopping so soon?" Angel questioned.
"We traveled on the night wind to a special place. A place that only a few know. Your father and I discovered it back in ninety four. If you sail the edges of the triangle you get pulled to this very spot no use in using your equipment, it won't work. Thus the legends of the triangle. We will drift from here." Her mother was calm but Angel was not easily quieted.
"We're in the Bermuda triangle! Oh God we gotta get outta here!" She screamed.
"I told you we were headed to the Bermudas." Her mother was placid and frightening.
"I thought you just meant the islands, I didn't think that we were just going into the triangle. And that makes no sense how can we already be here? We just left yesterday."
Her mother sat quietly as she started telling the remainder of the story. Angel was frightened as she had never seen her mother like this. She did not know the person who sat before her flipping through a photo album and staring in the distant horizon.
"Your father and I were sailing this same stretch when a bad storm pulled us in. We were sure that we wouldn't make it. We were tossed by large waves and pummeled in the night. We put on our life jackets in hopes that the coast guard would at least find our bodies. But by morning the storm subsided and we found ourselves here. Our instruments dead we just drifted with the sea. We were so happy to be alive we made love that day like when we first met. There are times I can still smell him and feel him on me." A tear streamed down her face.
"It was in the afternoon as I lay sleeping that I thought I heard something on deck. I rolled over to reach for your father and he was gone. I jumped up and dressed and headed topside. Your father was standing at the bow staring into the sea. He didn't hear me call his name so I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned and looked to me with a blank stare. He asked me did I hear it. I did not understand what he meant, I could only hear the waves in lapping against the boat. He looked me in the eyes and said he had to go. He said he was sorry for the pain he was about to cause, but he didn't belong to me. He belonged to the sea." She began to weep heavily. Angel was confused and her voice resonated her bewilderment.
"Mom, what are you saying?"
"Your father jumped overboard and disappeared beneath the waters of the triangle. I screamed for him to return but there was nothing. I stayed there searching for some sign and soon I got one. Blood, there was blood everywhere, the water filled with his blood. I cried so hard, I could not breathe. I thought for sure a shark had him but it was much worse. That's when they appeared."
"They who, momma?"
"Ancient legends they had been for so many, but both of our fathers and forefathers had been mariners and knew the truth. They were sirens and they had come aboard our vessel."
"Ok mom, you're crazy! Sirens, mermaids, really! I'm calling the coast guard." Angel turned to work the radio as she tried her mother yelled out that it wouldn't work. She remembered and appeared back on deck angered at the position she was in. Her mother screamed out to her.
