Adult/Science-Fantasy

Date Published: October 21, 2021

Publisher: True North Press

Abandoned in the wilderness as a child, Lekore lives with ghosts and fallen gods. Everything changes when he summons fire to rescue a traveling princess and her entourage. Wounded, he’s brought to a civilization unlike anything he’s ever known.

Caught in a net of silk and secrets, Lekore finds himself ensnared by court intrigue, midnight assassins, and a deviant faction of the Church of the Sun Gods—all hunting his blood and power.

He just wants to find the man who deserted him, until a storm rises out of the north, furious enough to destroy the city and outlying lands. Now Lekore must find the source of its wrath, deep in the wilds of the deadly Lands Beyond, if only he can flee a city that won’t let him escape.

Before becoming a writer, Andrea did a brief stint in the insurance and financial services industry and managed her husband’s performance automotive business. That love of extreme sports? She used to drive race cars!

When Andrea isn’t writing, she can be found homeschooling her two sons, doing yoga, snowboarding, reading, or traveling with her family. She and her husband are currently taking road trips throughout the country to visit all 50 states with their boys.

BLURB

Forgive him his trespasses.

Charmeine Baker has sidestepped Andrew Knight for years. He’s persistent, irresistibly handsome, and makes her pulse race with excitement. She resists him because although he’s “a catch”, Andrew also represents the kind of wealth, power, and privilege she despises.

Successful nightclub owner Andrew Knight has known Charmeine since the day she was born. Now the pastor’s daughter is all grown up and he is certain she’s meant to be his. Only Charmeine keeps giving him the brush off despite their undeniable chemistry.

Andrew knows Charmeine has doubts about him, but he’ll do anything to have her, including pressuring her to marry him in exchange for saving her parent’s church from being bulldozed. Blackmail might be a sin, but Andrew will have to atone for his transgressions later.

Ever the dutiful daughter, Charmeine sacrifices herself and reluctantly agrees to marry Andrew. Can she survive at the mercy of the man who captured her heart against her will?

EXCERPT

Charmeine stiffened beneath him. Andrew held her tighter, not wanting the moment to end, although he believed it already had. He was hesitant to believe she wouldn’t want to spend more time with him. That all she wanted from him was a quick birthday romp. Or maybe it was just his ego in denial.

When she shoved at him, his worst fears were realized. His stomach knotted seeing the pained expression on her beautiful face.

Andrew regretfully moved aside, allowing her to get up. She quickly fastened her bra and desperately glanced around the room. “Where are my underwear? I need to leave. This should never have happened. It was a mistake. I don’t know what I was thinking.” Charmeine’s eyes glistened with unshed tears.

Leaning back against the couch cushion, he watched in despair as Charmeine, sans her panties, dressed, preparing to leave immediately after having sex with him.

“Of course it should have. It should have happened years ago, Harmony. It was not a mistake. Not even close.” He’d made his feelings for her clear since she’d turned eighteen. Charmeine had denied him at every turn, both frustrating and disappointing him.

Charmeine turned away from him, facing the front of his desk, glancing up at the cross hanging on the wall. It was decorated with multicolored gemstones, imbedded with a miniature Holy Bible, and small vials of holy water and earth from the Holy Land. Andrew and Simon hung one in each of their club offices.

She sniffled and shook her head. “No, Andrew. We’re too different. Regardless of how I might feel about you, I can’t abide by your love of power, privilege, and money. It’s the root of all kinds of evil. I should have left well enough alone.”

Andrew bolted off the couch. He discarded the condom and turned Charmeine to face him. His heart shattered at the sight of her tear stained face, but she was wrong about him.

“I don’t love power and money, Harmony. I don’t serve two masters. Working hard, becoming successful isn’t a sin. Even Proverbs says, commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. The clubs provide good paying jobs and a safe, comfortable place for people to enjoy themselves.” Andrew believed he was blessed in all of his work, as were all of the faithful. He was stunned and hurt that she thought so little of him. Had she always felt this way about him?

Charmeine pulled away, fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. “Maybe you’re right, but I just can’t, Andrew. If I hurt you, I’m sorry. That wasn’t my intention.” She unlocked his office door and left without another word, leaving him alone and brokenhearted.

After waiting to explore Preston Castle, the team was finally ready to go. Jason begins his research on the many paranormal experiences recorded through the years, and instantly knows this is not a typical haunting. While watching video footage, he realizes there’s far more lingering around Preston Castle than just ghosts.

Wade’s ability to see and interact with spirits has become something he depends on, but Janice warns him against the shadow people they’ll encounter. He questions whether it’s safe for them to spend time at the old reform school, but if anyone knows how to handle a haunting, it’s Jason. Not this time. The shadows are alive, and intent on harming all who invade their space.

Running Scared Paranormal Research is on the job, but their normal protections may not be enough to save them from what awaits them at Preston Castle. Can be read as a stand alone but best enjoyed as a series. #paranormalromance

Financial Thriller, Thriller

Published: July 2, 2021

Publisher: BookBaby

On islands off the coast of South Carolina, sisters Rainey and Gretchen go their separate ways. Gretchen disappears into a drug-addled underworld headed by Garrison Buchan, a sinister figure who hides his illegal activities behind a tree farm and an alligator sanctuary. Rainey, distracted by the upcoming sale of her app “Gotcha” to an anonymous investor with dubious plans for the company, lets her go.

But when a suspicious car crash drags the sisters back together, they are on their way to exposing secrets best left hidden!

“Gotcha” is a thriller novel about deception. The fraught relationship between two sisters takes center stage as an addictive computer app runs wild in South Carolina. Soon, nobody is safe.

Praise for Gotcha:

“[The] players are appealingly vibrant, including sympathetic Oscar, an eccentric psychic named Lenny, and Gretchen, who undergoes a transformation of sorts after repeated injections of the mysterious substance. Despite the large cast, Lytes provides a[n]… easy to follow plot that’s frequently witty…. An often entertaining series entry with several new and engaging characters.” – Kirkus Reviews

“The characters are bizarre and interesting – their wacky personalities alone are enough to move the story forward.” – The Book Life Prize

Vortmit, Book 1

Published: July 2019

Publisher: BookBaby

When police officer Peggy Whitfield receives a series of social media messages instructing her to commit murder, she is plunged into a nightmare from which there seems to be no escape. If she doesn’t obey the mysterious messenger, she herself could be killed. But if she does as she’s told, she’ll kill her estranged brother. As the bodies pile up, Peggy will have to look closely at her past relationships and work with her kind-of-honest, kind-of-boyfriend in the FBI. But can they contain CLEAN before no one is safe?

Today’s headlines are dominated by addictive iPhones, computers taking over our homes and finances, the invasion of privacy, and shadowy figures influencing our every move from afar. Clean tackles head-on one of current society’s biggest fears: what happens when we use a computer to make decisions, and the computer starts making decisions by itself?
