<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For supernatural detectives Thulu and La Fi, “normal” is a relative term. La Fi is a medium, Thulu is a finder, and their usual clients are already dead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But when their friend Reo is shot, and a group of stranded angels show up at their house for help to find a missing child, things are striking too close to home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now the portals that let the magical races return to Earth have started opening on their own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With trips off-world, a kidnapped psychic and changes to their own abilities, Thulu and La Fi are hit with a lot more than they usually handle. Of course, their magical friends are there to help, but even they may not be enough to save an increasingly unstable Earth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Excerpt:</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That night Parker had popped in to wake us at two in the morning to tell us our best friend, Reo, had been shot. The young ghost was distraught and panicked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“They're on the back porch! You have to go help.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Where is he?” I asked groggily, as I jumped out of bed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thulu was instantly awake beside me, although he didn’t seem any more alert than I did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Back porch.” Parker enunciated each word in slight exasperation. “Go, please!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thulu looked at me, and I told him what Parker had said. Thulu can read lips, but even with a night light the room was too dark. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thulu threw off the sheet and we both ran from the room. I was briefly glad we’d been wearing PJs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Heart pounding, I took a few precious seconds to check on our three year old son, Carter. His night light showed him blissfully unaware of anything. Whatever happy dreams he was having made him smile slightly in his sleep. I sighed in relief that he wasn’t having another of his nightmares.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Downstairs, Thulu had turned on the kitchen and porch lights. In spite of the panic moments before, none of the three people on the porch seemed frantic when I joined them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thulu looked relieved, Reo was on the floor, but seemed stoic, and Sloane knelt beside him, brow furrowed only slightly in concentration as he dealt with the wound. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My heart rate slowed down and my own fear started to slowly dissipate. My heart gradually dropped from my throat back to its accustomed place in my chest. Still my hands were shaking, and I felt the slight chill from outside. The porch was screened in, and the late August day had been hot, but the night brought a cool breeze that made its way along my arms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The scent of flowers from the backyard didn’t quite mask the smell of the blood that pooled on the porch floor around Reo. Sloane, his partner and an elf, had already removed Reo’s jacket and shirt. A bullet lay on the floor, and I could see the shoulder wound was already healing and closing up. In a few moments, only the blood would remain as evidence that he’d been shot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Reo's face was white. The strain showed around his brown eyes and his handsome face had the sheen of sweat on it. His short brown hair that was usually spiked, lay damp and flat against his head, but he gave me a shaky smile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Bastard ruined my favorite jacket.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It’s a fall evening
and the sun whispers goodbye as it gently descends over the horizon. But the
day has been too short for you so you decide to go for a walk with nature. But
then you realize that you’ve wandered far from home. . . . very far. So far
that you’ve come across a dark forest and you ask yourself if you really want
to go in there. Despite the fading of sunlight your curiosity gets the best of
you. After all, you’re not far from the gravel road, right? You go in and hear
the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. The chill in the air caresses the back
of your neck and begs to turn back. Suddenly, you notice an old wooden sign
that is nailed to a tree.</span></span></div>

become incensed at the audacity of Alighieri’s emergence from their realm and
after a lengthy war they’ve come together to inflict pain on mankind. Calling
themselves “The Aristocracy” they are responsible for every evil that has
plagued man.</span></span></div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Here’s
the synopsis:</span></b></span></u><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Haven Irena Dante,
seventeen, struggles with a dysfunctional family. Her workaholic father is never there, but his
absence is filled by a loving mother harboring the secret and mysterious past
of their family. The Dantes are
inheritors of a centuries old legacy stretching back to Dante Alighieri
himself. They fight to contain the nine
circles of hell described in the classic literature "Dante's
Inferno."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Today, the nine
circles have infiltrated the world at every level, operating as a secret
society known as "The Aristocracy."
The only thing stopping The Aristocracy from world domination is the
Dante family line.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Now its Haven's
turn to carry that torch.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Combining literary
fiction with fantasy, this action-packed young adult adventure races through
dimensions of paranormal, science fiction and the supernatural.</span><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Why
did you write this book?</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I wondered what
someone would do if they were at the point of death and they were given the
choice to remain in a suffering world where all they had experienced was
heartache and pain or go into paradise. The catch would be to return to this
world knowing that there was a chance they could fix their relationship with a
loved one. This is where the idea stemmed from and led into the inclusion of
Dante Alighieri’s cantos which represent the ills of mankind and our struggle
to overcome them. Our protagonist needed to have more than enough reason not to
return so we also included a violation. This was not done gratuitously. My wife
had suffered the same experience and today she is alive and well. I wanted
others to have gone through this horror to have the same chance and be an
encouragement to them. Aside from this I wanted to delve into some of the
things that we fear the most fully knowing that there is always a reason (more
specifically, a hurt) behind them. I think that sometimes we allow a hurt to
become a fear and then the fear becomes a part of us. Some could argue that it
makes us human and I would not disagree. But at the same time we reach a point
of decision when we are exposed to the meaning behind the fear or the hurt. And
that can manifest itself in any of the areas explored in the nine circles.</span></span></div>

year old skater Mike Evans has issues. His alcoholic father's
unemployed and he's stuck living in a white-trash trailer park after the
foreclosure of their family home. The last two years have sucked
royally, and to top it all off, he's plagued by clairvoyant visions of
strange-grisly events that always come true. Mike loses his best
friend, ex-girlfriend treats him like a leper, and his only friend Anita
wants to get in his pants––<i>he's clueless</i>. Since his mother died at birth and his father doesn't give a damn, Mike's on his own.</span><br /><br /><span id="freeText10447491961293137782">His
fortunes begin to change after helping a 14 year old girl named Nadia,
the victim of a hit and run on the highway. An intimate bond is forged
through an intense night of ministering to her injuries. He suspects
Nadia is homeless and an unusual relationship develops as she sneaks
into his room nightly for a place to stay.</span><br /><br /><span id="freeText10447491961293137782">Mike lives a double
life, daylight hours at school, new girlfriend, skating, part-time job,
and then his nights spent with Nadia. She's a secret friend, giving him
money, listening to his problems when no one else will.</span><br /><br /><span id="freeText10447491961293137782">Strangeness
abounds as they develop a mutual obsession. Nadia is not an average
little girl, but Mike ignores the obvious signs of danger.</span><br /><br /><span id="freeText10447491961293137782">Struggling
to avert another vision of gruesome death, he must face the evidence
that his secret friend is much more than she seems.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And how do I know? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because, Andrew published his novel 3 days ago on Amazon:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Andy is a very resourceful man with his 153 Goodreads profiles,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> not only is he voting for his own book,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> beating all the competition the American way,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> he is also giving out shit-tons of <b>1 star ratings</b>!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But not for his own book, Oh no! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those sock puppets are working overtime for Andrew!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Poor Andrew denies having anything to do with his 153 faces. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But ooops!
He made his denial with two different sock puppet profiles named <b>Domonkos</b> and <b>Andrew Domonkos</b>! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my!! But its an
easy mistake to make when you have 153 profiles to manage....</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
One man. Two worlds separated by a universe. Space-time warped by black
holes. In the passing of seconds on Earth, Major Niall Kearey has
witnessed the birth and death of generations on Astereal. His mind
shortcuts light years to visit a fantastical world of floating sky
cities populated by telepaths.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Astereal is in decline, the
dueling forces of black holes threaten extinction. Ancient prophecy
predicts their interstellar visitor brings salvation. As Niall faces the
staggering truth – that his alien dream world is real – he and his
family are targeted by secret societies, scheming politicians, and the
US military.<br /><br />
Time is running out as Astereal races towards
annihilation and temporal alignment with Earth. Power brokers vie for
control of his capabilities. Niall must act, balancing the needs of
Earth, his family, and the alien civilization he has come to know and
love.<br /><br />
The fate of two worlds rests on his shoulders.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>THE REVIEW</b></u> (<span style="color: orange;">★★★★★</span>) </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So, you like scifi?</b><br /><br /><b>How about epic, universal, telepathic, psychokinetic, electromagnetic, space-time warping, worm-holing scifi?</b><br /><br /><i>Yeah...I thought so.</i><br /><br />This novel is all that and so much more.<br /><br />Rogue
Genesis presents us a seemingly simple military man, Niall, who has a
little something special, an uncanny intuition, and the ability to
astral project out across the reaches of space. Niall soon learns he
will be held responsible to save all 100 million inhabitants of an alien
planet on the far side of the universe. This planet he visits regularly
in his subconscious dreams, Astereal, happens to be parked curbside to
the apocalypse. Not one, not two, not even three, but SEVEN black holes
encircle this poor solar system. And one of them has become dominant,
throwing the whole deal off balance.<br /><br />But the US govt., and
age-old corrupt secret societies are not having it. Not unless they are
in control of Niall and his abilities.<br /><br />Niall finds his whole
world turned inside out, friends become enemies, everything he holds
dear is threatened, and yet the responsibility to save these alien
people resides solely in his hands.<br /><br />Astereal is running out of
time, and Niall is running out of options on Earth. As this epic
paranormal scifi thriller drags you to the clinch point, we realize the
future of mankind and the Astereans depend on the choices Niall makes.<br /><br />As it says so eloquently in the description, "The fate of two worlds rests on his shoulders."<br /><br />They
say you can't judge a book by its cover, but this one you can. The book
is even more awesome than the pop-bang-wow head-turning cover art.<br /><br />If you call yourself a fan of scifi, you need to read Rogue Genesis.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Much has changed for Maggie O’Shea in the past eight months. The Weald
is abandoned—its last Steward dead and the Seelie Clan in tatters.
Maggie, her family, and her friends are on the run, frantically
traversing the globe as they are hunted by Ozara’s Alliance, Rogue Fae,
and a ruthless vampire tracker named Mara, who is capable of seeing
through all of Maggie’s cleverest tricks and disguises.<br /><br />As Maggie
travels deeper and deeper into Europe’s most ancient Fae territories,
danger and destruction follow her at every turn. The only things that
can save her? Discovering the identity of the Second Aetherfae—her most
dangerous adversary—and learning the secret to creating Aether, the
only weapon strong enough to destroy her enemy. And the clock is
ticking.<br /><br />THE AETHERFAE is the third book in the four part epic
fantasy saga, Weald Fae Journals by Christopher Shields. Look for the
first and second books, THE STEWARD (Weald Fae Journals, Book 1), and
THE CHANGELING (Weald Fae Journals, Book 2), also available on Amazon.

<b>BIO:</b><br />
<b><br />
LISA RUTHERFORD</b> is the co-founder and CEO of digital publisher

before making her way west to California. Most recently an entrepreneur
and venture capitalist, Lisa was named an AlwaysON Top 25 Women to
Watch in Tech and has an MBA from Stanford and an MA from the University

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Hayley Foster is a woman with a secret. Her flatmate is her guardian angel. But with the terrifying events of two years ago firmly put behind them, Hayley finally dares hope for a quieter life for her and Alex to enjoy.<br /><br />But it is not long before the old angel’s past comes back to haunt him in the form of an ex-lover. As Alex tries to protect Hayley though, it quickly becomes apparent that far greater powers are at play, far bigger than either of them could ever have possibly imagined.<br /><br /> Join Hayley and Alex in the first part of their epic journey as they try to save Glasgow, as well as each other, from doom. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Google+</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
has been compared to other social media in all kinds of ways. I don't
need to bore you with statistics and all that drivel. But if that's your

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, according to all the number crunchers and bean counters from businessinsider.com, Google+ has lots of <i>active users</i>, more than Twitter. Cool. Groovy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Take a look at this Google search for the novel HERS TO COMMAND by Patricia A. Knight, published June 4th, 2013 (2 weeks ago). </span></div>

BUT, its plain to see, <i><b>within the first 6 results</b></i>, there are <i><b>2 Google+ postings from</b></i> <i><b>10 days ago</b></i>. How do a couple postings on social media, with no significant number of shares or retweets, get into the<b> <i>top 6 results of Google's search engine in only 10 days?</i></b> These Google+ postings have a <i><b>higher ranking</b></i> than the Goodreads giveaway for signed copies of HERS TO COMMAND!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Google, being the megamonster search engine, has given
<b>Google+ </b>an<b> unnatural, instant and viral ranking</b>. <b>Google+ posts for a given subject matter always show
up in the first page of search engine results</b>. This is not organic
SEO, like what websites are forced to go through over months and months
of backlinks and other time-resource consuming junk. Its an instant, mouse-click SEO, with a
very unusually high ranking.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Google gives preferential treatment to posts in Google+. Why?
Well, most likely, to compete with Facebook & Twitter. And its <i>their</i>
search engine, so they can do what they damn well please.</span></div>

Took 8 months to get that kind of SEO on the words THE NIGHTLIFE PARIS for my website. And yet we see there in the <i><b>#6</b></i> placement on the search, my good 'ole Google+ post about my book release, on <i><b>May 4th 2013</b></i>.</span></div>

But it can be had for <i><b>FREE</b></i>, with a couple mouse clicks on Google+.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #181818;">Seth Fishman (me) was
born and raised in Midland, Texas (think Friday Night Lights) and received his
MFA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England
(think cold and rainy and millions of castles). His YA thriller, The Well's
End, is the first in a series and the protagonist, Mia Kish, is roughly
inspired by a hometown drama that (when I was young) really blew him away: (</span><a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/16/nation/la-na-nn-baby-jessica-rescue-anniversary-20121016" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666600;">http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/...</span></a><span style="color: #181818;">). When not writing, Seth is a literary
agent at The Gernert Company (</span><a href="http://www.thegernertco.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666600;">www.thegernertco.com</span></a><span style="color: #181818;">), and thinks writing and agenting are the two
very best jobs in the world.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been a literary agent for over
eight years, beginning at Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. (<a href="http://www.sll.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.sll.com</span></a>)

My list is deliberately wide-reaching, as I'm fervently of the mind that
good writing and strong stories can be found in any genre. For sake of
ease, however, a few published examples in varying categories I rep:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">Mia Kish is afraid of the dark. And for good reason. When she
was a toddler she fell deep into her backyard well only to be rescued to great
fanfare and celebrity. In fact, she is small-town Fenton, Colorado’s
walking claim to fame. Not like that helps her status at Westbrook Academy, the
nearby uber-ritzy boarding school she attends. A townie is a townie. Being
nationally ranked as a swimmer doesn’t matter a lick. But even the rarefied
world of Westbrook is threated when emergency sirens start blaring and the
school is put on lockdown, quarantined and surrounded by soldiers who seem to
shoot first and ask questions later. Only when confronted by a
frightening <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 204);">virus</span> that ages
its victims to death in a manner of hours does Mia realize she may only just be
beginning to discover what makes Fenton special.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">The answer is behind the walls of the Cave, aka Fenton
Electronics. Mia’s dad, the director of Fenton Electronics, has always been
secretive about his work. But unless Mia is willing to let her classmates
succumb to the strange illness, she and her friends have got to break
quarantine, escape the school grounds, and outsmart armed soldiers to uncover
the truth about where the <span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 204);">virus</span> comes

<b>Historical Mystery Thriller:</b></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Victorian London is a cesspool of crime, and Scotland Yard has
only twelve detectives—known as “The Murder Squad”—to investigate countless
murders every month. Created after the Metropolitan Police’s spectacular
failure to capture Jack the Ripper, The Murder Squad suffers rampant public
contempt. They have failed their citizens. But no one can anticipate the brutal
murder of one of their own . . . one of the twelve . . .When Walter Day, the
squad’s newest hire, is assigned the case of the murdered detective, he finds a
strange ally in the Yard’s first forensic pathologist, Dr. Bernard Kingsley.
Together they track the killer, who clearly is not finished with The Murder
Squad . . . but why?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Filled with fascinating period detail, and real historical
figures, this spectacular debut in a new series showcases the depravity of late
Victorian London, the advent of criminology, and introduces a stunning new cast
of characters sure to appeal to fans of The Sherlockian and The Alienist.<br />

it, Victorian mystery fans. We’ve been spoiled by the rigorous scholarship of
writers like Peter Ackroyd, lulled by the formal elegance of stylists like Anne
Perry. In short, we’ve lost touch with the lurid traditions of the 19th-century
potboiler. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Consider
<b>THE YARD (Putnam, $26.95) </b>a crude corrective to those literary leanings.
This deliciously trashy first novel by Alex Grecian walks the genre back to the
era of Jack the Ripper with its bloody tale of a serial killer who is
systematically butchering detectives from Scotland Yard’s recently formed
Murder Squad. “Jack was the first of a new breed,” Sir Edward Bradford, the
police commissioner who created this elite division, remarks. “He opened a door
to certain deranged possibilities and there will be more like him.” </span></span></div>
