Women’s Fiction

Influence by Stuart Johnstone

Knowledge is power, but too much is dangerous. The dark heart of an occult secret society beats in the bowels of Oxford’s prestigious university and someone, or something, is searching for an ancient text which can open the most terrible of doors. Seventeen year old Lizzie Dean is only just beginning to reassemble the shattered pieces of her life; and being in her last year of school it is more important than ever to get it together. But the discovery of the mutilated body of her brilliant, if rather odd, friend threatens to unravel it all once more. The subsequent police investigation is not going well. Without any apparent motive or forensic evidence the case is going very cold, and Lizzie must take matters into her own hands. Lizzie’s investigations will uncover shadowy secrets of the world around her, those close to her and even herself.

Fake It For Me by Weston Parker

I need a woman to help me shut up my big Greek family.

And my new intern is perfect for the job, though pretending to have a relationship with her might be a little taboo.

Good thing I'm in charge.

Being a self-made billionaire, I haven't spent much time looking for love.

None actually.

Lucky for me, it's fallen right into my lap.

This pretty American girl has zero sense of direction, but a good heart and a sexy smile.

I've always been smitten by a woman that needs rescuing, or so it seems.

Something tells me that she might be more than I bargained for.

Either way, I just need her to fake it for me until it appears real.

Funny how real it quickly becomes.

Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

BlackWolfe: Sons of de Wolfe (de Wolfe Pack Book 14)by Kathryn Le Veque

It’s suave, handsome Edward de Wolfe’s tale as he vies for the hand of Paris de Norville’s daughter, Cassiopeia. The problem is the bride herself – she can’t stand the sight of him!

1279 A.D. – With his older brothers married and settled, it’s finally younger brother Edward’s time to shine.

Having grown up with many cousins around him, Edward had a particular eye on Cassiopeia de Norville, daughter of his father’s best friend, Paris. As children, Eddie and Cassie used tormented each other. Several years later, Cassiopeia’s father is seeking a husband for Cassiopeia and Edward is a prime candidate, as a de Wolfe son. He’s admittedly interested, but many questions remain… is she still the same annoying girl he used to tease? Or was that teasing a cover for deeper feelings he refused to admit?

Edward soon comes to realize that he has feelings for Cassiopeia he can no longer deny.

This puts him in an awkward position as he must finally admit his feelings for her. Named for his father’s father, who was a great diplomat, Edward also has his grandfather’s politically-savvy way. He is a man of great words and swift action, and he soon finds himself battling another suitor for Cassiopeia’s hand. While Edward’s attention is genuine, the other suitor’s attention is not.

Daniel de Motte has an ulterior motive. As the bastard son of a man William de Wolfe killed years ago, he’s been planning his revenge his entire life and a marriage to a de Norville daughter fits into those plans. He comes across as a noble knight, but inside, he’s rotten to the bone. Hatred for William de Wolfe has poisoned him.

But the de Wolfe Pack is oblivious to Daniel’s threat. Edward and Daniel compete for Cassiopeia and in a fit of anger, Daniel embarrasses Edward. Ashamed, he gives up his pursuit of Cassiopeia with the intention of returning to London. He is determined to forget about her. Heartbroken, Cassiopeia refuses to let Daniel grow close to her. She pines for Edward.

It’s politics, passion, and old hatreds as Cassiopeia is unknowingly pursued by a man who only wants to destroy them all, and Edward de Wolfe face to face with sins from his father’s past – and a life or death battle of his own.

Will Edward be able to discover de Motte’s plan before it’s too late?

Tetrastatumby Dr. Richard & Tim Smith

“People will be immersed in the concepts of translating other parallel universe ideas into visual/image interpretations of external quantum relativity theories.” –Stephen Hawking

What if the laws of physics as we understand them are incomplete, only half of the equations that explain reality? Mankind has been blinded by the light, searching for answers in the photonic (material) universe while the truths are concealed beyond the shutter speed of our biological cameras. One day, an image processor evolves. Schrödinger’s equation is finally interpreted correctly by Dr. Richard revealing that the dualistic imaginary solution prior thereto discarded by physicists is actually the key to mankind’s quest to answer the unanswerable. What happens to me after I die? What is the ultimate source and origin of creation? What is reality? Dr. Richard’s equations bring forth the darkness of the imaginary (non-matter) universes unraveling the mysteries of space-time giving mankind full comprehension of the miraculous nature of the essence of reality, the fourth state, Tetrastatum. Only, Dr. Richard is too late! The world we once knew has been destroyed by man’s greed and exists only in a thotonic, non-matter state. The only hope to restore the planet Earth is Dr. Tim Smith. In the material world that once existed, Tim Smith was the head of the Quantum Teleportation Program at DARPA and a “Time Smith” in the non-matter thotonic universes whose shadows persist. Unfortunately, mankind’s last hope, Dr. Smith is quite clearly, insane.

“I think therefore I am,” says Descartes’s thotonic skeleton of the past. Tetrastatum is the ultimate test of Descartes’s philosophical truth. We are transported through the tunnel of institutionalized insanity as helpless voyeurs perceiving existence through Smith’s eyes as a non-matter image freely flowing in all space-time universes. Dr. Smith’s complete mental meltdown takes us on a dualistic journey as a “Time Smith” exploring the meaning of reality and the human psyche.

Tetrastatum introduces and uses the principles of PsychothotonixSM which is the measurement and control of human perceptions and related human behavior patterns based on space-time imaging. Both the PsychothotonixSM and photonic effects embedded in the novel are a subset of the accepted laws of physics and extended to augment the entertainment experience. Tetrastatum introduces novice readers to basic physics concepts as well as puts forth illuminating theories for the most advanced physicist to ponder. Topics include quantum teleportation, the extension of Schrödinger’s wave function to reveal imaginary “thotonic” universes, the extension of Euclidean (x,y,z,t) real physical space-time in photonic (matter) universes to also include Dr. Richard’s thotonic (non-matter) imaginary space-time paradigm (ix,iy,iz,it), Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity, the acceleration of matter beyond the speed of light escaping the light cone traveling to non-matter universes, Twins Paradox, slow light lasers, using phase conjugation mirrors to reverse time, applied spectroscopy in bio-medical applications, laser hologram effects capturing four-dimensional space, hyperspectral imaging cameras, the interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics applied to reversing social entropy-chaos to a state of harmonic inclusion, immersion into four-dimensional nonlinear space-time giving the reader an understanding of “conscious control” an invaluable tool sharpening self-empowerment skills leaving the reader with the knowledge of the certainty of their own ability to alter the future.

Trapped in the panic that envelops the metropolis, Ellen worries for her children, five hundred miles away in North Carolina. Unable to get word to them, she faces a harrowing journey on her own.

Sergeant Rick Nolan is overseas on a covert ops mission against terrorists. When the solar storm wipes out his communications and his air cover, he and his team find themselves on the same level as the enemy that surrounds them. Caught in a desperate fight for survival, Rick thinks about his family. How is he going to make it back alive?

Trapped in their hometown of Charlotte, the two Nolan children witness society’s terrifying collapse as water pumps fail, food runs short and the law ceases to exist. Frightened and bewildered, they wonder if they’ll ever see their parents again.
