Author Rae Scott’s new book “The Reaper” is a riveting cat-and-mouse game between a team of homicide detectives and a killer bent on dispensing justice to the guilty

Recent release “The Reaper” from Page Publishing author Rae Scott is a spellbinding whodunit following Mel Tanner, a veteran homicide detective just one month away from retirement, and Nat Petrov, her promising but inexperienced trainee on their hunt for a vigilante serial killer leaving a gruesome trail of victims in the coastal city of Norfolk, Virginia. As body after body is found with clues that get increasingly personal, can they catch a self-righteous psychopath before it’s too late?

Rae Scott, a New England native who spent her childhood hiking, fishing, and enjoying the outdoor life and can often be found between her work and frequent travels on her porch in Virginia, where she and her family brainstorm ideas for new adventures, has completed her new book “The Reaper”: a gripping and potent thriller that keeps the pages turning until its dramatic conclusion.

Fear not those who are innocent, for I shall cause you no harm. I seek out only those who have yet to pay for their sins. Fear me if you have no remorse, for I am the Reaper. And I will ensure that you reap what you have sewn.

The serial killer known as The Reaper is loose on the streets of Norfolk. Its victims have two things in common: They have each hurt a child but served little to no time in jail for it, and none of them regret their actions.

Detective Mel Tanner is close to retirement when she is assigned to investigate a murder that leads her in a hunt for the serial killer known as The Reaper. As a seasoned homicide detective of fifteen years, she now finds herself jaded and unfeeling to the atrocities that she has had to witness every day.

When rookie Detective Nat Petrov lands her dream assignment working with the best detective in Norfolk, she is thrown headfirst into The Reaper’s perverse sense of justice. The detectives race against the clock as body after body turns up with the signature Grim Reaper tarot card, each life ended in a way specifically designed for the individual victim. Will the detectives be able to catch a twisted serial killer before time runs out, or will The Reaper’s exact revenge in a way more personal than anyone could have ever fathomed?

Published by Page Publishing, Rae Scott’s engrossing book is a spellbinding choice for avid crime fiction readers.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “The Reaper” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author William Smith’s new book “An Independent View of The Donald J Trump Presidency” takes a chronological look at the inner workings of the American government.

Recent release “An Independent View of The Donald J Trump Presidency: Part 1 Donald Trump’s Rise to Power in the GOP” from Page Publishing author William Smith is an insightful work that prioritizes objectivity in its assessment of the most controversial president in recent history.

William Smith has completed his new book “An Independent View of The Donald J Trump Presidency: Part 1 Donald Trump’s Rise to Power in the GOP”: a thought-provoking work that views the events of recent American history through an independent lens.

Author William Smith writes, “Since the transition into the twenty-first century, I’ve been awakened to the way our government is manipulated in a self-serving manner when one party is in complete control. This has been particularly true when the GOP has control over Congress, as well as the presidency. My assessment may seem surprising because the economy seems to flourish whenever Republicans are in power. After all, the economy has always been their claim to prosperity for all. Add to this, the conservative belief in controlling government spending and the elimination of regulations that restrict the free market system, then everything will be better for America.”

Published by Page Publishing, William Smith’s engaging work promotes understanding and compassion, encouraging Americans to proceed with empathy as they work together to bridge the gap in this divided nation.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “An Independent View of The Donald J Trump Presidency: Part 1 Donald Trump’s Rise to Power in the GOP” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Aaron Ray Ballard’s new book “All the Monsters Are Here: Thirteen Spooky Tales” is a debut collection of bone-chilling horror stories

Recent release “All the Monsters Are Here: Thirteen Spooky Tales” from Page Publishing author Aaron Ray Ballard is a collection of thirteen terrifying tales that leave readers up all night with the lights on.

Aaron Ray Ballard, who was born and raised in West Texas, has completed his new book “All the Monsters Are Here: Thirteen Spooky Tales”: a collection of thirteen frightening stories that take readers into the darkest depths of the author’s imagination.

Lurking within the pages of these thirteen terrifying tales are the survivors of a zombie apocalypse who only think their darkest, deadliest days are behind them; a sinister werewolf that likes to play with its prey before feasting; a deranged trucker who can’t wait to feed a resourceful young hitchhiker to his cargo; desperate thieves who make the mistake of their lives by holding up the wrong bar; amateur ghost hunters who discover to their horror that true evil exists; and many more.

Author Aaron Ray Ballard produced the independent, Texas-made, cult classic horror film “Circus of the Dead,” spent a little over two decades in advertising, and has been working at a TV news station since 2014. Ever since he was captivated by an episode of “The Twilight Zone” as an impressionable kid, he’s wanted to be a storyteller, whether through writing short stories and screenplays or making films, much like his literary heroes—Stephen King, Rod Serling, and Richard Matheson.

In “Eden,” author Aaron Ray Ballard writes, “The majority of their time on the island was spent living day to day with nothing to do but ensure their continued survival. They fished. They collected coconuts and berries. They ate any island birds they could catch. They tended to all scrapes and cuts as best they could without medicine or even the most basic medical supplies, because infection out here meant certain death. They boiled the water from a running water source found inside a cave deep within the island. They even had a trusty flint rock to start fires that once belonged to a man who had saved them all but had lost his life in the process.”

Published by Page Publishing, Aaron Ray Ballard’s horrifying tales take readers on a nightmarish ride filled with unforgettable twists and turns.

Readers who wish to experience this bone-chilling work can purchase “All the Monsters Are Here: Thirteen Spooky Tales” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Author Leslie Miner’s new book “Out of the Blue” is a heartfelt memoir recalling the life and untimely death of her beloved son, Matt, in 2008

Recent release “Out of the Blue” from Page Publishing author Leslie Miner is a candid yet comforting reflection on her relationship with her challenging firstborn son through his struggles with addiction, his tragic death, and the peace she derives from feeling his continued presence in her life through the unmistakable signs of his enduring spirit.

Leslie Miner, also a Case Manager for the forensics unit of a mental health facility, who is passionate about her children, animals, family, and friends and enjoys working with her hands doing pottery, painting, and arts and crafts, and walking her dog for exercise, has completed her new book “Out of the Blue”: a poignant tribute to her late son, Matt, and an inspiration to all who have lost a loved one.

After losing her son to drugs, the author begins to see and feel a connection that her son was still around beginning with the funeral, and through her deep sorrow and depression. She continued this sense of connection with her son through her cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation). She feels a sense of knowing he’s around and confirmation through music, color, and more.

Those who have lost a child know how your heart breaks and stays that way and may recognize a sense of knowing our loved one is still around and is possibly reaching out to us to let us know.

Others get an opportunity to witness the possibility of connection after death.

A loved one may be felt in times of need, and you may feel confirmation that they are around through things that remind you of them.

Author J. A. Owen’s new book “Zombie Dogs” is a thrilling story of an unexpected fight for survival in a far-off state park amid a deadly meteorite storm.

Recent release “Zombie Dogs” from Page Publishing author J. A. Owen shares the story of a fight for survival from nightmarish transformations that take place at a desolate, isolated state park in the middle of nowhere.

J. A. Owen has completed his new book “Zombie Dogs”: a gripping and potent story that introduces Dave and Nancy, who, in a dark, dingy motel room, are getting ready to rob the First National Bank. Members of the infamous Black Widows Motorcycle Gang are preparing for their two-week Ride-a-Thon camping trip. A family is quickly packing their RV for a two-week camping vacation. Then at the same time, a top-secret Military Base is suddenly on Red Alert! Code Red! Due to an incoming solar disturbance: a deadly meteorite storm. Then, in the darkness of the military base, two Red Eyes turn on. Now, the M-5 Search and Destroy Robot has now been activated.

Author J. A. Owen writes, “The dogs are mean, vicious and ravenous. I started running as fast as I could. I was running and running from the voracious animals that have lost their minds. The only thing that keeps these monsters going is their biological desire to feast on raw flesh. The only meat that seems to quench their ravenous hunger is the meat from the brains of their victims. I hid behind a tree as they found their next victim. The large dogs started ripping and tearing the flesh off the bones of their victim.”

He continues, “Hank woke up from a dream, more like a bad nightmare. Hank is the leader and president of the dreaded Black Widows Motorcycle gang. He lives with his wife and his two boys, Jared who is seventeen years old and John who is ten years old. Hank is a tall guy. He got up and took a shower, and got dressed and headed downstairs for some coffee. Hank let out Spike, his dog, to go pee. On the way downstairs, Hank left a message on Jared’s chalkboard, which was attached to the door. The funny thing was that Jared put the chalk on a latex hand he made. It was a cut-off hand-holding chalk. The end of the hand was cut off at the forearm. It had two bloody bones sticking out of the end of the forearm. It even grossed Hank out a little.”

Published by Page Publishing, J. A. Owen’s terrifying tale, complete with original illustrations, invites readers to discover how this nightmare unfolds.

Readers who wish to experience this imaginative work can purchase “Zombie Dogs” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Authors share stories inspired by their pet cat DJ

Sisters Jacqueline and Lauren Kirby have come together under the pen name of JL Kirby to write a children’s book inspired by their own feisty feline, “DJ the Scratchy Cat.” This charming children’s book follows the story of Brittany, and her adventures with bringing home her new cat.

“I got DJ in college around the time I was going through a really bad breakup,” Jacqueline Kirby said. “A lot of the things that happened in the book happened in real life. I really did get scratched up giving him a bath!”

Lauren Kirby was inspired to turn her stories with DJ into a children’s book after telling some children she was babysitting about him.

“I told them some of the stories about DJ, and the next time I saw them they just wanted to know more and more about ‘DJ the scratchy cat,’” Lauren Kirby said. “They even made up their own scratchy cat game! I saw that these kids loved DJ and I figured that other children may enjoy hearing stories about him too.”

Jacqueline and Lauren Kirby want to share the joy and companionship that can come with having a pet with readers and plan to share more of DJ and Brittany’s adventures in the future.

Author Writes Wholesome Alternative to Mainstream Teen Fantasy Novels

Fantasy meets Christian romance in April Waldron’s latest work

As a teen, author April Waldron was an avid reader, but had trouble finding age-appropriate books that had romance but didn’t include sexual content. Unable to find a book that suited her literary taste, she began to write her own. She took this manuscript and has now released a revised edition as her first book, “Naomi: A Princess Tale.”

“I hated writing when I was in high school,” Waldron said. “The only time I enjoyed it was when I could write about my own ideas. I started writing this story to create the book that I couldn’t find for myself. The story stayed with me through high school, and all the way through college. I finally finished it, right after I graduated.”

Waldron’s book follows the story of Naomi, the princess of Limren. One week after her 22nd birthday, parliament makes the decision to enforce the royal marriage law. Naomi is now faced with the challenge of finding a husband in 30 days.

“I wrote this to be plot-focused,” Waldron said. “While romance is an element of the story, it is not the primary focus. Instead, the story is led by the characters’ relationship with God. Readers who love the Princess Diaries 2 will love my book.”

“Naomi” gives teen readers the enjoyment of a fantasy novel, without the more adult topics sometimes found in young adult literature.
