A Nine Muses Novella
🩰 https://books2read.com/NM-Heart

As an immortal hiding among mortals, Terpsichore has reinvented herself countless times. In her current incarnation as Bliss, danseuse étoile at the famed Paris Opera Ballet, she’s living out her dreams. That is until her father, Zeus, stirs from his rest on Mt. Olympus and decides to meddle in her life.

Hoping to avoid a clash with Zeus, she crosses the Atlantic to spend a quiet, drama-free month teaching ballet alongside her many, many times great-granddaughter.

Life in Iowa is anything but quiet. The workshop students (and their parents) want a recital. A simple recital morphs into a full-scale production complete with costumes, set design, and a sexy choreographer. With the arrival of her former lover, Bliss realizes she ran away from one brand of trouble right into another…and this one may break her heart.

Fantastic reviews keep pouring in for:

𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙻𝙴𝙳 𝙴𝙿𝙸𝚃𝙰𝙿𝙷𝚂
Axl Barnes

books2read.com/Strangled-Epitaphs

A fitting follow-up to his unsettling short-story collection, Stillborn Gallery, in this volume Axl Barnes revisits his favorite themes of work alienation, death, and urban decay, through a poetic lens.

Inspired by towering masters like Baudelaire, Bacovia, and Bukowski, Axl Barnes creates a grim, gritty, and violent universe where hope is displaced by the absurd, the sordid, and the depraved. Mixed with the sinister illustrations of critically-acclaimed underground artist Thomas Stetson, this book is an unhealthy injection of powerful, paralyzing despair.

𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒

I knew not to take a case that involved a teenager. They are always nothing but trouble.

But I ignored my gut when Mark Jacobs walked into my office and hired me to find his daughter who had gone missing while at college. Masquerading as an eighteen-year-old isn’t as easy as it sounds considering I’m in my thirties, but it was the only way to infiltrate the student body.

With her aunt as my contact and enabler, I learned what I could about the missing girl. As it turns out, her father may not have known her as well as he thought. But when I run into a Russian operative who offers an alternative education in undercover, I find myself wrapped up in something much bigger than the reason I was hired.

Things are not as they seem, and time is running out. It’s almost Valentine’s Day.

Jennie L. Morris
The Albion:1892 Book 6

Jasmine Loveridge has no illusions about her life. With the spiritualism movement on the rise, she works more than ever, donning her fortuneteller costume each night to perform for the pinnacles of society at their Christmas gatherings. She needs the money to care for her brother and ill mother. After an accidental encounter with Mr. Draven McKellis on Carlyle Street, she encounters the admired entrepreneur unexpectedly while working at a Christmas party—his penetrating gaze disapproving of her profession from across a candle-lit table covered in her tools of the trade.

A dangerous premonition concerning Mr. McKellis forces Jasmine to risk more than her reputation. Obliged to reveal the truth of her inherited abilities to the skeptical man, Jasmine’s disclosure turns into an unlikely friendship.

Outside the scrutiny of high society, Draven is a man full of fancy, hopes, and dreams. Jasmine falls for this gentle, inquisitive soul. But she can never forget her station. Though her heart beats for one man, this is no fairytale. She expects no happy ending for a Carlyle Street gutter rat, no Yuletide miracles. A life of a spinster is her destiny.

Aria photographs abandoned structures and locations—the odder, the better. Through her lens, she keeps her subjects at a distance. In reality, the cracks in her life are too close, as her beloved twin sister Tam struggles with a lifetime of mental illness. Tam finds refuge on her blog called The Safe Room.

At a stop in Staunton, Virginia, a crumbling building draws Aria in. The haunting building has a dark past. The new subject also piques Tam’s interest, as if sensing the depth of a story, and urges Aria to dig deeper.

The more Aria learns, the past encroaches upon her hometown, and she must find ways to raise awareness while creating space for dignity and respect.

What makes a spy? They are many things: deceivers, liars, thieves, and sometimes killers. At the core, a spy is a traitor or a hero.

Tensions between the USA and the USSR created a global phenomenon. The Cold War showcased these governments vying for geopolitical power and lasted decades.

In COLD WAR HEARTS join twelve creative authors as they explore the complex lives of spies during tumultuous years of uncertainty and fear.

Who’s ready?
