The Package: Book One (The Pakage) [Kindle Edition]
Cleve Sylcox (Author)

David Winters likes Cloak and Dagger Novels, but never thought he would be in an actual mystery. That was until his law partner, Tinsley, asked him to do a simple little favor and he finds himself swept away in intrigue, death, and women.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Case of the Mistaken Identities? June 21, 2014
By John R. Dizon
The Package by Cleve Sylcox is a classic detective noir short story featuring Dave Winter, a hardnosed private eye working for shady lawyer Bill Tinsley. Making a routine delivery to Moe’s, Dave comes across Jackson Farnsworth, Tinsley’s ex-partner who had been presumed dead. Jackson continually refers to Dave as Tinsley, and Winter soon finds that this is just the beginning of his trouble in setting the record straight. He next encounters Al and Louie, a bumbling pair of operatives intent on taking possession of Tinsley’s package. Throw in Angel, a waitress at Moe’s who’s not quite what she seems, and Barbara Welch, a femme fatale, and we’ve got Dave fighting for answers while struggling to stay afloat in a morass of subterfuge that will keep you guessing to the final pages.

The author’s skill in tightly packaging his short story will leave readers begging for more – and Dave Winter is ready. The Package by Cleve Sylcox is waiting to be picked up.

Seven Seeds of Summer Paperback – April 15, 2014

by Chantal Gadoury (Author)
91nY1lHIw6L._SL1500_What if you were the missing piece in one of the most famous Greek Mythology Romances? Seven Seeds of Summer follows the story of Summer, a college art student who has grown up in a house full of Greek mythology and legends. Summer grew up with a love for the darkest of all Gods: Hades, which caused tension between her and her mother. Summer comes home to Point Judith, Rhode Island, to find a mysterious figure on their family beach. The figure comes to her with questions about a familiar myth of her childhood: of Persephone and Hades. He proceeds to tell her of a new version of the story with a different ending that Summer never knew; an ending that includes herself. A trip to Greece leads to tragic twists, leaving Summer in the arms of the strange figure whom she had met before. He takes her on a whirlwind through the busy streets of Athens, to the lowest point of Greece where his lair awaits: The Underworld. Determined to find out the secret of herself and her piece in the story, Summer goes with him, and tries to make herself at home in his world. Summer has to decide to follow her heart or follow the same footsteps of the mysterious woman in her past life.

laba.ws_USA_Independence_Day

You know…I thought about writing something patriotic since July 4th is tomorrow. Then I said, “Nah, I bet everybody is doing that.” Then I thought about another round of plugs, “I bet a bunch of people want good reading during those bar-b-q’s.” Then I lost enthusiasm when I figured fireworks and family would take center stage. So, I decided to write about nothing…nothing at all in particular.

I did think of the Ukraine and the Russian situation, Iraq and Isis, those poor souls crossing our borders to escape a hostile government, and especially our troops stationed all around the world protecting our vital interest abroad.

I thought of our freedoms, Obama, American history, and red coats.

I thought about pork steaks, corn on the cob, and cherry pie.  And Since I could not do anything about those other situations, I decided to fire up some pork steaks, and cook a cherry pie. The corn at the market did not look appetizing.

Happy Fourth of July everyone!
