Always Darkest by Jess & Keith Flaherty

Angels and demons walk among us. Good and evil are not absolutes.

An ancient prophesy sets the stage, but the players will decide the outcome.

Everybody loves a hero. Everybody loves an antihero with a heart of gold.

Nobody loves a demon.
Nobody but Mal Sinclair, though she doesn’t know it.

Ben was just looking for a vacation from Hell, but wound up finding his life’s purpose instead.

Theirs is a love that can survive to Hell and back.

One that might just save the world.

Fail to the Chief, a Parody of Presidential Proportions

It’s a Parody of Presidential Proportions.

After years of emceeing insipid singing competitions, TV personality Bryan Seafoam can’t wait to host American President, the world’s first reality show to elect a country’s Chief Executive. It’s the chance he’s waited a lifetime for—an opportunity to be a real journalist, unearthing skeletons and playing hardball with the top ten candidates.

But it doesn’t take long for the contestants to start digging up dirt of their own and throwing it back at him—literally, in the case of billionaire candidate Ronald Chump when he’s challenged to dig his own moat along the Mexican border. To make matters worse, Bryan’s producer pressures him to be nicer to the candidates, and his former crush, now an experienced political correspondent, shows up—and shows him up at every turn.

Stupid Humans

What if all the intelligent humans abandoned Earth… and we’re what’s left?

Samantha is a journalist who travels through the wormhole to New Atlantis and discovers that embarrassing reality when she meets the People, humanity’s more intelligent—and smugly superior—distant relatives. Unfortunately, thanks to humanity’s penchant for fighting, a Human/People conflict is brewing. She could almost forget she’s not on Earth, except the People have tails and don’t slap idiot warning labels on everything.

Plagued by anti-Human sentiment on New Atlantis and unwilling to return to Earth, Samantha moves to the Five Alpha, the space station closest to the wormhole, where Human—and People—stupidity lurks around every corner. Then the conflict worsens, causing concern for the security of the wormhole—and its closest neighbor. Naturally, politicians from both sides decide they can provide a diplomatic solution by holding peace talks on the station.

Something new, for ALL authors

To quote that wonderful philosopher, Whinny the Pooh,

The beginning is a very good place to start“.

 

For me, it all started was when I was looking for a great book to read.

I finished reading the last book by my favourite author. It would be another year, maybe two before his next book became available.

This meant I needed to search for another book to read. I was even willing to stray from my usual genre to find an excellent read.

Something easier said than done.

You would think, with over 45 million books on Amazon alone, finding a story to enjoy, a book you can immerse yourself in totally, would be a pretty easy thing.

But no, it is not.

Finding and selecting a book which looks like it will meet your criteria is not a simple affair, not if you want to make as certain as possible you will enjoy reading it.

Take Inspiration From Where You Can Get It

Read it on kindle also availble in paperback

“Well, it wasn’t a torrential downpour,” Bev said. “And as long as there’s no lightning there’s little danger.”

“Yeah, but it didn’t do much for the humidity,” Sedona said. “It feels like a bathhouse out here.”

“Yeah it’s always like that in the summer. Especially when it’s just a short storm like that one. We call that a Georgia Quickie.”

“Oh, yeah?” Sedona said. When that didn’t prompt Bev to elaborate, she said, “Okay. I’ll bite. What’s a Georgia Quickie?”

Bev glanced ahead to make sure the kids were out of earshot. She leaned closer so only Sedona could hear. “Barely enough to get you wet and just enough to keep you hot and bothered afterwards.”

 

This is an excerpt from the epic post-apocalyptic thriller, Nero’s Fiddle.

I would like to tell you from whence the inspiration came for this book.
