Free from 2/18/2023 through 3/3/2023

From the best-selling author team that brought you Yesterday’s Gone, Available Darkness, Karma Police, ForNevermore, and more, comes a brand new urban fantasy mystery.

Delaney West, a tough-as-nails private investigator who’s not afraid to break the rules, operates out of an apartment she shares with her grumpy orange tabby named Pumpkin. Clients come to Delaney for her unique gifts — talents that helped her put away some of the city’s most dangerous criminals. But when Delaney takes on a case to find the missing Jay Sutherland — a 20-something playboy with a rap sheet and a penchant for beating women — Del realizes this case is much more than it seems.

With the help of her father, who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s, in a nursing home, Del discovers that the truth behind Jay’s disappearance is linked to a group called The Night Society. But they’re no ordinary villains. Anika, Jay’s girlfriend, is the only person who may know his whereabouts, but she harbors a dark secret that could pit Del against an enemy she hasn’t seen since her childhood.

As she delves deeper into this web of mystery and danger, can Del put aside her commitment issues long enough to save Jay and herself?

The Secret Within is a new stand-alone urban fantasy by masters of story Sean Platt and David W. Wright. Fans of Supernatural and Underworld will love spending time with Delaney West.

The Oldest Word by Johnny Firic

“Plural identity is where respectful practice begins.”
Who are you? Just the one body and mind? Does your story begin with your birth? Or how far back would you go?

The Oldest Word spans ten thousand years and more than a dozen settings. Human contradictions are reconciled time and again, with tragedy and humor feeding off each other. From the twin mirror mazes of history and psychology, amid ever-shifting social and natural landscapes, enduring patterns emerge.

The story opens with the discovery of a mysterious box from the distant past. Its makers are five orphaned friends who hope to help civilizational knowledge survive disruptive climate change centuries in the future: the ending of the Ice Age. The bar is continuously raised as the box travels through space and time to the present day. Readers are tacitly encouraged to partner with the author and fill in the blanks by considering their metaphorical boxes, lessons for the future from their past.

Targeted Age Group:: 17+
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 4 – R Rated

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I made no effort to publish the two novels and about two dozen stories I'd written because I realized my debut effort must be something more ambitious and unconventional. I decided to try and write a story that doesn't have human protagonists at its heart, but instead traces an object through successive historical settings, thus indirectly portraying the universality of the human condition.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
One of the aims for The Oldest Word was to pay a tribute to all that I love. Many historical characters are based on either individuals or, more broadly, periods and themes I admire, for instance Stone Age Goddess worshippers or the syncretist thinkers of Al-Andalus. No one is truly admirable, a hero or heroine, and all my characters are a form of criticism.
