     Nico goes silent, and the group at the table looks at him. “I am,” he says, “but I was planning on sending her into a school that has hidden supers, not on a drug bust. She has a very specific goal in mind, you know.” “Yes, I am aware,” Mastermental says. “And if you really wish to ignore this—” “I didn’t say that,” Nico says, as Morgan jerks in silent protest. “But it’s not what she’s planning on going into.” “Yes, but she is the perfect person to infiltrate a track and field group, as well as see who else is affected. There is a possibility that it goes much higher than that, Lauren has fractured memories of even teachers acting strangely, as well,” Mastermental says. “But as much as I dislike stereotyping—” “I look like a normal, high school jock, right?” Morgan offers.

    He knew he’d have his hands full just renovating the defunct waterfront hotel and marina. However, there was something about Sally, the airport manager, that captured his attention and he wanted to find out more about her. But he’d really need to focus on his new property because the internet auction neglected to mention that it came with its own drug smuggling murderer. Paulie Sawyer was determined to keep the place for himself, and he was the most ruthless and resourceful squatter that Casey had ever faced in his real estate investing career. Even after discovering all this, Casey Shaw still saw the property as an opportunity for a fresh start, and maybe Sally Hudgins could fit into it as well. If the drug runner wasn't enough of a hurdle, the area itself came with some big challenges including a crooked building inspector, and a reputation for the locals giving outsiders the cold shoulder. Casey is what the Shore locals call a 'Come Here' instead of a 'Born Here' which can be a huge handicap for anyone who moves in. However, having had enough of the congestion and crime of southeast Florida, Casey still wants out and he is determined to make this project work. He was a 'Born Here' back in South Florida, before it was overrun with its own 'Come Here's' that bought into Florida's new, modern look, the one that Casey despises. For quite a while Casey had been struggling with his conscience. He made a fortune buying and selling properties in his native Palm Beach County. Unfortunately, he had to watch as many of the properties he renovated and cared for were bulldozed and replaced by his buyers. Concrete and glass canyons now stand where the quaint downtown of his childhood had once stood. Even though he wasn't the developer, he still felt guilty about playing a part in erasing the old Florida culture that had once been the soul of West Palm Beach. And the Florida real estate juggernaut would continue to roll, with or without him. He'd prefer the latter, as it was time to go. Except for leaving behind his best friend and mentor, Dave Chauncey, moving out is the easy part. Casey and his Golden Retriever, Bimini, live aboard an older 58' Hatteras yacht-fisherman. Leaving is as simple as untying the dock-lines and heading North to the Chesapeake. Moving in, however, turns out to be not so easy. Casey has brought along his friend and now business partner, Michael "Murph" Murphy, and together they discover they have purchased more than just real estate on the Chesapeake Bay. It turns out they bought into a boatload of trouble as well. The characters that Casey and Murph run into on the Eastern Shore rival some they thought they were leaving behind in Florida. Even though they are both newcomers, Casey and Murph assemble a unique group of friends, including a gorgeous young redhead, a matchmaking Sheriff, and even a Washington lobbyist. So, can Casey and Murph make the business a success while finding love among two of the Eastern Shore's natives? Only if they can learn to dodge bullets and get along with the natives, and they’ll need to learn fast. So download this page turner today! Its FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

    And only one man can stop it. The year is 2026 and up and down the Eastern seaboard of the United States a virulent toxin is killing people. What was initially believed to be food poisoning turns out to be a terrorist attack using genetically modified insects to poison the American food supply. For Gabriel Marx, news of the poisoning is eerily familiar. A Marine Corps veteran and trained viticulturist, Gabriel is now working as a vintner at Landmark Estates Winery in California, but was once part of a secret CIA effort to use insect vectors to destroy the Afghan Taliban’s poppy industry. He’s long feared that genetically synthesized toxins delivered by insects could be used as a terror weapon. One day a stream of black SUVs carrying the Secretary of Homeland Security shows up at the vineyard, and Gabriel is recruited to help the government respond to the attack. He is drawn into a complex web of rogue scientists with links to ISIS and Chechen terrorists, and discovers that an even more devastating attack is imminent. Merging cutting-edge synthetic biology with global politics and international terrorism, The Bug Hunter is both thriller and cautionary tale of how advances in technology can be used to turn nature itself into a devastating weapon.

Just the slightest tingle, a prickling really, so that I couldn’t quite discern if the feeling was painful or stimulating—like when water is so hot on the skin that it might be cold, the distinction cannot be made. Then my right hand twitched, sparkling to a tickle that felt like a fortune-teller following the lines of my destiny with a fingernail. The current splayed to my fingers, tiny jolts of something—something charged, even voltaic. But there was something more—a feeling inside of me that couldn’t be located in my physical body, as if a door which had always existed but had always been locked suddenly opened, slowly, to a secret place, and whatever was within engulfed me like a color I’d never seen; a feeling almost too large for my body, and my knees buckled at its enormity, but I would not fall. I knew that something beyond myself was happening like a dream and I dared not peek for fear that it would end.
