Heaven nor Hell


December 2018


Leonard, a process server from Dallas, is having the worst day of his life. He has a scorching hangover, his girlfriend dumped him, a stalker is trying to ruin his life, and to top it all off he just took four bullets to the back. Now Leonard has a choice to make. He can follow the dark and terrifying Angel Azrael, or follow Qarinah, a beautiful succubus. (Not a hard decision, really.) The choice he makes leaves him hounded by a rogue demon slayer, hassled by his ex-girlfriend, who is determined to save his soul; and all the while, he is observed by an elite cadre of Angels called the Malakim, who ultimately must decide whether Leonard should live or die...again!

Will Leonard defeat the demon slayer? Can he get his ex to leave him alone? And who the Hell is Olivia, anyway? The answers to those questions will send Leonard on a supernatural roller coaster and Heaven, Hell, and Dallas will never be the same again!

The New Normal


Anthology Edited by Nikki Mitchell


Includes "Last Shift" by Clinton A. Love


Amidst the pandemic of 2020, a group of 17 authors, aided by the help of the ever-present Twitter, decided to band together to cope with the new normal that had become their lives. Thus, the zombie anthology was born.


An anthology of various zombie fiction, the authors were given three linking components: the setting is Earth, a virus created zombies, and they can only be killed by targeting their brains. The rest was up to each individual author, to interpret as they desired.


Within this collection, you will find unique takes on the zombie short story, from the perspectives of survivors as well as the zombies themselves. You will find stories rooted in humour, stories that will yank on your heartstrings, and stories that make you question your own existence. Lose yourself in a world where you biggest fear is staying alive--and not zombified!

The Black Book is the evolution of that book.

There are two dedicated chapters, one for parents and one for young people which outline a strategy to open up communication and get the solutions under way so that it can be stopped before it is too late.
