Welcome to the bar. Your session starts now.

Nigel doesn't need your name. He already has your file.

Somewhere between a dive bar and the waiting room of the afterlife, the Devil is holding court — and he's not interested in your soul. He's interested in the truth you've been drowning at the bottom of that glass. One conversation at a time, strangers sit down, order their poison, and get exactly what they didn't ask for: total, uncomfortable honesty.

Therapy with Satan: On The Rocks is a collection of sharp, darkly funny, and quietly devastating conversations between the Devil and the people pulled into his orbit — the people-pleaser who's forgotten how to say no, the fixer who can't stop cleaning up everyone else's messes, and a bartender named Nigel who's seen it all before and writes it all down.

This isn't a book about temptation. It's a book about the moment someone finally says the thing you've been avoiding — and it happens to be the Devil.

Performed by a full cast of professional (SAG-AFTRA) narrators, On The Rocks is the first volume in The Morningstar Sessions — part of the wider Devilverse, where the Devil doesn't lie. He just listens.

Pull up a stool. Order something strong. You're going to need it

A love that must overcome deception...

She tried everything to make a certain gentleman take notice. He only wanted the lady's attention for financial gain. After a scandalous night and a swift ride to Gretna Green, can the couple admit to their true feelings of love for one another?

Evelyn Holbrooke found herself married after a remarkable night spent in the earl's bed. She fell in love with Reese Worthington after their first kiss. However, she used deception to make him fall for her charms. Now, trapped in a stormy marriage, Evelyn only hoped for his forgiveness. After getting caught in a rainstorm, her husband seduced her with help from his matchmaking family. Evelyn believed Reese forgave her with his warm regard, stolen kisses, and intimate evenings, until her family arrived for a visit. Then her happily ever after came to a halt because of her husband's need for revenge. Since they were both deceitful in their intentions toward each other, Evelyn hoped for a reconciliation. Can Evelyn convince Reese to open his heart to love?

At every turn, life dealt Reese Worthington obstacles to overcome. With his latest dilemma, he found himself married to a lady who trapped him into a marriage based on deception. Reese fought the attraction he felt toward Evelyn with every whisper, moan, and scream. After he sought his own revenge, he realized he couldn't resist how she captured his soul with her every action. He tried to hold on to his fury, only to succumb to his desires for Evelyn. Too afraid to allow her love to weaken him, he pushed her away. When he realized how much her love affected him, he attempted to woo her back only to fall victim to his own blunders. Can Reese prove to Evelyn that he is worthy of her love?

Reese thought he married a dull debutante. Evelyn thought she married Prince Charming. When their marriage exposed each other's true character, would they allow their attraction to destroy the other? Or would they see how it only strengthened their love?

The cosmos beckoned to Georgia Evans, captain of the intrepid starship Asteria, and her stalwart crew. With the revolutionary temporal drive primed, they set a daring course to vault 2000 years into the future. But the fickle tides of spacetime had other plans. A disastrous malfunction hurled them not forward but backward - a staggering 100,000 years into Earth's primordial past and 5 light years from their home world, near the ominous red dwarf Proxima Centauri.

Their onboard AI, ARIA, had inexplicably failed, contributing to the catastrophic spatial error. As the crew grappled with this reversal of fortunes, a bizarre temporal rift exerted its inescapable pull, drawing the Asteria towards a massive artificial structure orbiting a star - a gargantuan Dyson Ring. Alien craft swarmed them, immobilizing the ship with tractor beams before transporting the humans to an eerie chamber.

There, a strange alien presence coalesced before them - the enigmatic Defenders. They revealed a harrowing tale of cosmic devouring forces known as the Void Eaters, an implacable scourge bent on extinguishing all existence. The Defenders' sole hope rested on the Asteria's revolutionary temporal drive to generate an impenetrable barrier and halt the Void Eaters' cataclysmic advance.

In a desperate gambit, the Defenders integrated the human technology with their own, birthing a shimmering temporal membrane that enveloped the ravaged cosmos. The Void Eaters' insatiable hunger was stymied, their path of destruction arrested. As the cosmic maelstrom subsided, the Defenders extended a bittersweet offer - the crew could remain to safeguard this fragile reprieve. Paul and Dr. Chen accepted, while Georgia and the others chose to return aboard the Asteria.

The Defenders' technology propelled them back to Proxima Centauri's vicinity. On the desolate world of Proxima b, Georgia established a toehold for humanity but yearned to explore further. Proxima c, just outside the habitable zone, beckoned with the tantalizing promise of alien civilizations. A reconnaissance probe, however, awoke a terrifying leviathan that dragged the Asteria itself from the skies in a furious bombardment.

Phe lives a dual life.

Everyone knows Phe as the sickly best friend of Her Grace, Kyra Theonora, the last Water Nymph duty bound by a familial oath to protect the island country of Xafara. Only a select group of people are aware of Phe's shadow side. Trained by General Bastion to be an assassin and Kyra's secret weapon.

Everything changes when Kyra is abducted, exposing Phe's cover and acting as a catalyst to Phe's own bound magic, thrusting Phe into a world she'd thought a fantasy.

As Phe maneuvers the unfamiliar landscape of magic, grappling with one obstacle after another, she tries to figure out how to save her best friend. Will she survive this new magical world? Will she rescue Kyra? Will she sacrifice herself in the process?

Spark is the first book in a new adult fantasy series featuring action packed scenes, compelling characters, and a strong heroine.

It's the beginning of a fierce, character-driven fantasy series where power, loyalty, and magic collide.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas, Elise Kova, and Shelby Mahurin—

Spark is about surviving the unsurvivable and fighting for what matters—even if it feels like a lost cause. Even if everyone seems against you. It's the first in a character-driven series where pain and darkness aren't the end, but the beginning of finding your power.

If Spark leaves you with anything, I hope it's this:

You're not broken. Your pieces are just being rearranged into something stronger.

Some confessions don't need a priest—just someone who can hear the dead.

Childhood memories flood Ann Kinnear as she enters St. Andrew's on the night before Easter. But this time, she's a hired hand with a mysterious assignment. When she learns what that assignment is, she's pretty sure she's not the person ordained for the job--but she finds her shaky confidence in human nature bolstered by the tale that unfolds against a backdrop of misplaced guilt and the true meaning of faithfulness.

Not a traditional Easter story ... and likely not the right pick for readers looking for Christian lit!

An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels, beginning with THE SENSE OF DEATH, and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.

An acerbic, entertaining caper of evolution, gangsters, Darwin’s brain, and the Golden Age of Hollywood.

When Sonya Orlova, a successful 1930s horror-film actress, crosses paths with a gorilla whose brain has been swapped for the frozen cerebrum of the late Charles Darwin, the two are inspired to write and produce evolution-themed monster movies—with Sonya in her greatest role, Korgora the Ape Woman!

As this offbeat and controversial Hollywood series finds a devoted cult audience, Sonia’s relationship with her strange simian collaborator acquires an intensity neither could have imagined.

Then disaster strikes, as zealous opponents to Darwin’s ideas contrive to put the Ape Woman out of business.

By turns satiric and romantic, madcap and thoughtful, Behold the Ape is at once an outré love story, a tribute to classic monster movies, and a science-fictional celebration of that beleaguered institution we call public education.
