Book excerpt: After hours. Underground. Trapped. With real zombies. Humble garbageman Vance Campbell doesn't care very much for comic books, superheros, or pop culture in general, but his wife does, so he has volunteered to work at the local convention to get tickets for her and their daughter. But when a freak earthquake literally shakes things up, the festive weekend takes a turn for the worse. Now, Vance finds himself trapped by a broken elevator on the mezzanine level with a motley crew of other volunteers, vendors, and celebrities. To get out they'll have to make their way around to the other elevator—and straight through a hungry horde of undead spawned by the earthquake—before the horror envelops the rest of Comicon, and his family. If you like campy apocalyptic adventures that don't sacrifice scientific plausibility for great fun, where the characters are locked in a desperate battle against unknown forces, with neither the skills nor the equipment to handle the violent task, and you like turning blood-soaked pages as fast as you can, laughing with your heart pounding all the while, you'll love Zombies Versus Comicon. Fans of realistic, plausible, funny science fiction stories will enjoy the Con Chaos series of campy but realistic pop-culture monster novels, which can be enjoyed in any order, but which may be best without spoilers when read in order. The Con Chaos books contain graphic violence, strong language, intense situations, and frequent absurd humor. Movies based on these books would likely be rated R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vengeful soul. An ultimate battle. A prophecy fulfilled. Dylan McBride never imagined he’d turn to darkness until he lost everything. His hybrid powers are drawing him to a world he swore to destroy—the world of The Fallen. Anger fuels his emotions and it’s creating a monster not even his Keeper can control. His only desire is to gain custody of his daughter and disappear forever, but the one person willing to help him is a threat to his own existence. Heaven Lewis’s nightmare has just begun. Though she and Layne have accepted their roles as the reincarnated Sun King and Queen, they’re far from having their happily ever after. The Fallen have grown in numbers, and they’re planning to conquer both humans and Psi in a sadistic, post-apocalyptic world. Time is running out, but Heaven is no closer to learning how to defeat them. Still reeling over his heritage, Layne Perry fears he’ll follow his family’s same tragic path into darkness, something Heaven assures him she’ll never let happen. He and his queen hold the key to restoring the balance of good and evil. But even as the most powerful pyrokinetic, his abilities won’t help him with his toughest battle yet—facing Dylan, the man who wants Layne and Heaven dead, the man Layne also calls brother. As the final battle looms, Dylan, Heaven, and Layne have demons to face and painful choices to make, but who will be the final victor? What the Heart Keeps is a paranormal romance filled with suspense, soulmates, and supernatural twists. If you like mystical worlds, larger than life characters, and captivating stories of good versus evil, you'll enjoy this epic tale of love, light, and darkness.
