Son Of Adam, takes us on the thrill ride exposing the monster lurking inside each of us.

Cal, a black, rough tempered, hard-nosed automotive engineer driving his way around life’s twisting race-track until the second Gulf War places him on a collision course with a pedophile serial killer in a distant war-torn land. Lives changed forever in an instant of horror.

Seventeen girls missing and seventeen weeping mothers with no hope of rescue confuse the soldier’s motives and missions. A small, foreign village with a fledgling infrastructure barely able to support traffic stops was a pedophiles playground. The shadows of war and the prowling despot have free reign over the frightened village families until the killer gets sloppy, exposing his bloodstained trail. All the gory pieces fall together and the Army platoon moves in for the arrest. Mission accomplished for all, except for the soldier that found him – the one who had to search the killer’s bedroom and catalog all of his bloody souvenirs.

Back home and years later, the demons of that horrible day are still lurking in the darkness, pushing him from odd job to odd job around the country, spiraling an out of control life but weaving it back together with help from some unlikely outsiders - just like him.
The suspenseful story winds its way from the foothills of the Alps to the foothills of the Appalachians as a new journey begins. With twists and turns along the way, finishing in the unwanted answer to an age old question. A life redeemed in the midst of disgraceful mistakes and youth’s tiresome baggage, bringing him back to the tender answer to a divisive social issue: How can anyone be Pro-Life and Pro-Death Penalty?

From first homes to the German Oktoberfest and jumbo jet rides across the Atlantic Ocean to automotive assembly plants in the new south, Son Of Adam, exposes the inner workings of the fall-out from the heinous crimes and bloody investigation, pieced by painful piece.

Be careful what you ask… Son Of Adam.

Okay, in regards to the Twitter thing: I'm not sure if when you said "list it here" you meant here on this specific page or not, but I'm just gonna go ahead and put it here. Hope you don't kick me out if I'm wrong. Being wrong will be punishment enough. ;-)

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that my book, "Sugar and Spies" will be available for free all day January 1, 2013 on Amazon!

I'm Mary and I published my first indie paranormal mystery,

My twitter is @MCastilloWrites.

Best,
Mary

My name is Nina D'Angelo, and my first novel is due to be released February 14th. It's called Nowhere to Run.

This is the tentative blurb:

A Dominatrix is murdered, her body positioned to show Dominance. An actress is found dead, in clear view of the Hollywood sign. The sole connection between both murders is the one woman who swore she would never return to Los Angeles.

Stephanie Carovella walked away from it all - a high flying career, her friends and Los Angeles. When her best friend is murdered, she returns with the sole purpose of finding a killer.

Instead her arrival triggers a spate of murders, in which she is the common denominator.

Drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Stephanie must race to find a serial killer, before he claims her as his own

What ARC Reviewers are saying:

“So much happened in this book it was unreal. A monumentous amount of action, sex, love, anger, happiness… You name it and it was present at some point in this book and I found myself feeling it all just the same.”

“I smiled when Luce and Michel had their loving moments and couldn’t believe how much more I fell in love with those two. I didn’t think that was even possible. They are in fact one of the most epic couples in my eyes and it is just written beautifully.”

“Everything and everyone in this book and all the other books, are written wonderfully to the point that I’m glued to the pages at every moment always wanting and needing to know what’s next.”

Thanks,

Nicola
