The world’s deadliest dragon, the infamous Baba Yaga, is loose on the

streets of Tokyo.

Dr. Rhett “Jack” Jackson and Dr. Kamala Anjali have been tasked
with helping the government take down a dragon the size of a
Tyrannosaurus Rex after it sends part of the city up in flames.
Things worsen when they lose track of dragon in none other than
Aokigahara, the Suicide Forest–a section of woods in Japan that is
rumored to be one of the most haunted places on earth. They’ve also
got the yakuza who cloned the dragon hellbent on getting her back,
and they don’t care who they kill in order to re-capture the dragon.

Jack and Kamala are joined by CIA field agent William Fry and
dragon-hunting expert Juniper Snow as they infiltrate the forest to
hunt the dragon before she can hurt anyone else. Between the ruthless
yakuza hot on their trail and the growing mistrust in their small
hunting party, it will take a miracle for Jack and Kamala to make it
out alive…

Of Blood and Ashes is the second book in the series, following the
Amazon bestselling Of Cinder and Bone.

“Snow?”
“What?”
“Mind holding up for a second?”
“Why?”
“Nature calls.”
The Scottish woman heaved yet another sigh. “I swear to the almighty, I’m going to leave you
here to rot.”
Jack scowled. “Do that and I’ll find you and haunt the crap out of you.”
He stepped behind a tree. Pausing, he glanced around the trunk to see her aiming yet another
hateful glare in his direction. “Would you turn around, you freak of nature?”
Snow growled. “What are you? A three-year- old?”
“I can’t go when someone’s watching.”
“I can’t even bloody see you.”
“Would you just turn around, woman?”
Snow grumbled insults under her breath and faced away from the tree. Jack pulled a face,
knowing she couldn’t see it, and took care of business. “Christ, it’s like you’ve never been around
another human being before. You’re about as warm and cuddly as one of those face-huggers from
Alien.”
“I could use one of those right now,” she groused. “Attach it to your face so you’ll shut the hell
up.”
“Oh, I could do that. And then when I don’t have a distraction and I mistake you for a killer
clown and belt you one, you can break both my arms and call it a day.”
“Legs,” Snow corrected. “I’d break your legs, Jackson. That way you either starve to death or
are completely helpless when the yakuza show up.”
“Honestly,” Jack said, shaking his head. “No wonder your last name is Snow. I’m gonna start
singing the Cold Miser song in a minute.”
She whirled around, glaring. “Sing a single line and I’ll cut your fingers off, Jackson.”
A shit-eating grin spread across his mouth. “I’m Mister– ”
He stopped abruptly just after he’d zipped up and stepped around the tree. Without another
word, he threw himself on top of Snow just as the man who had appeared behind her pulled the trigger.
The gunshot nearly deafened Jack from so close. A piercing whine filled his ears, but Jack
didn’t have time to notice the pain. The second after he’d tackled Snow, he grabbed a log behind her
head and swung it as hard as he could at the man’s knee as he aimed at them again. The log made a
sharp cracking sound against the man’s patella, shattering it, and the shots went to the left, missing
them both. Jack lunged forward and grabbed the gun, yanking the barrel up and away from him.
Gritting his teeth, he slammed the top of his skull down on the man’s nose and the man reeled
backwards, dazed. Jack jerked the gun out of the attacker’s grip and kicked him in the injured knee. The
mercenary crumpled to the ground with a scream.
Jack pointed the rifle at his head, barking, “Stay down!”
The merc glared at him from the ground, but remained still. Jack tried to slow his racing
heartbeat and tilted his head slightly, not taking his eyes off the man, as Snow rose to her feet.
“You okay?”
“Fine,” Snow said, picking leaves out of her long tresses.
“The word you’re looking for is ‘thank you.'”
“Piss off,” she snapped.
Jack grinned, replying in a sing-song voice. “I saved your life. Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha!”
“Go to hell,” she seethed.
“You’re welcome.”
“Give me the gun, idiot.”Jack shot her a quick skeptical look. “Yeah, that’s gonna happen.”
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “Do you know how to use that thing?”
Jack adopted an accent reminiscent of Antonio Banderas. “Yes. Barrel end points at the other
man.”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “Remind me which one of us is hopped up on a hallucinogen
again?”
“Oh. Point taken.” Jack handed her the rifle. She gave it a brief glancing over. To her surprise, it
had .308 rounds rather than the .50 cal rounds that the others had been carrying. The implication was
chilling. The shooter might have been dispatched specifically to kill them, not the dragon. Their targets
had changed. They were being hunted.
“Are you alone?” she asked the merc.
The man didn’t say anything. “No one is going to come find you if we shoot out your remaining
kneecap and leave you to die in this forest. Answer the question.”
Snow swung the barrel towards the leg he wasn’t clutching. “Fine. Enjoy bleeding to death.”
She fired the rifle.
“Two men!” he blurted out before he could help himself. “Closing in from the rear.”
He frowned, realizing she’d shot the ground a mere inch from his leg, and muttered,
“Goddammit” under his breath in resignation.
“Lovely. Thank you for your cooperation.” She slammed the butt of the gun into his forehead
and he flopped backwards unconscious. She knelt and handed the rifle back to Jack.
“Watch our six. I’ll see if he’s got anythin’ useful.” She checked the mercenary’s pockets, finding
extra ammo, a map, and a burner phone. He had a link in his ear as well, which she took and placed in
her own. She stood and unfolded the map, checking the marked locations on it.
“There are two sites marked here,” Snow said. “One is the campsite I saw. The other…it’s
heading back towards the city.”
“You think that might be where they’d hide the dragon if they got it?”
“Possibly.”
“Then we’d better get back to the forest entrance on double-time. We have to warn our guys.”
“I’m sure they already know,” Snow said, tucking the map into her pocket and then taking the
gun back. “Fry’s not stupid.”
“No,” Jack agreed, falling in step behind her once again. “Cold and calculating, but not stupid.”
“Not everyone can be as warm and fuzzy and useless as you, Jackson.”
“Yep, the warm, fuzzy, useless man who saved your life.”
Snow ground her teeth. Jack snickered victoriously.
She held up a fist and Jack stopped. She peered through the rifle’s night-vision scope. “There’s
the other two. Forty yards out straight ahead.”
“What’s the plan?” Jack whispered.
“Create a distraction and I’ll take them out.”
Jack aimed an incredulous stare at the back of her head. “Seriously?”
“What?” Snow asked, adopting a facetious innocent tone. “You don’t trust me?”
“You just told me you’d break my legs five minutes ago!”
“If I were going to let you die, I’d have done it when I found you. Now make yourself useful
and distract them.”
Jack let out a frustrated growl. “You are the absolute worst.”
Snow smiled smugly and said nothing as he crept off in the direction of the two approaching
mercenaries.

She walked in.
My world collapsed.

It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. I
never thought I’d see her again. Rae never should have been there
that night . . . but 5 years of regret, loss, and vengeance have
waged war inside me, and the sins of our fathers won’t stop me from
claiming what’s mine: Rae Stenson.

She’s my addiction. I need her.

Even if I have to lie, cheat, steal, or kill.

But it may not be the past that we have to confront as
the real sins of our fathers wreak havoc in Providence, CA where
reality and fantasy collide.

My granddaughter, Amy, was pregnant with her second child in 2011 when her doctor told her
that the baby needed to be aborted because its heart didn’t develop properly and was only half
a heart. Her own heart was broken but she was determined so she went to a specialist at
Boston Children’s Hospital, a place where miracles are performed every day. It was a long hard
pregnancy with less than one percent probability of survival, but Amy was determined. When
the proper time arrived the surgeon took the baby by ceasarian section and within the first hour
of its birth performed a life saving open heart surgery on the tiny heart, followed by two more
open heart surgeries before little Sammy was two. He never ate solid food until he was three,
but was fed through a plastic tube directly into his stomach. It’s a miracle beyond imagination,
but little Sammy is a happy, healthy little guy with a smile for everybody he meets. To know him
is to love him. I am donating all proceeds I receive for Cataclysm to “It’s My Heart, New
England”, a charity to help the children and families of CHD in non medical ways. On June
24th of this year there will be a family walk and picnic at Endicott Park in Danvers
Massachusetts. For details go to walk.itsmyheartnewengland.org. Sammy will be here and so

Jolie Gentil moves to Great Aunt Madge’s Jersey shore B&B, taking her

cat Jazz, and joining Madge’s pair of prune-eating dogs. It’s not a
retreat from her embezzling ex-husband, just a smart change. Jolie
rekindles friendships, dodges a low-level wise guy, and tries to
figure out her new life. She hasn’t seen her high school classmates
in ten years, and they weren’t all buds. Why care if a couple of them
are murder suspects? Because finding a dead body when you’re
appraising a house grabs your attention.

Jolie balances fear of a smart-mouth wise guy with a belief that her

friends are innocent. Her murder suspects include one accused’s
ex-wife and beneficiaries of the dead woman’s will. Jolie keeps
searching, but will someone’s plans leave her alive to find the truth?

business and works with friends Scoobie and Ramona to gather clues

Milner, Richard’s girlfriend, who has fond memories of him and is
certain of who murdered him. But, she couldn’t prove it then and he’s
long dead, too.

her, and will solving Mary Doris’ murder lead to a culprit in a
decades-old crime? Between running the food pantry at Christmas and
escaping a burning building, Jolie wants to figure out who the modern
killer is before someone else gets hurt.

Though she never liked the idea of sitting on the plank above the dunk tank

for the food pantry’s carnival fundraiser, Jolie never dreamed what

ex-con mother shows up and there’s a murder to add to the mix. Soon
Jolie is doing more than appraising real estate. Even that is
complicated by home burglars. She grudgingly seeks help from her

she keep her friends safe? Will Scoobie recover enough to plan
another silly fundraiser?

Jolie Gentil and friends are putting the finishing touches on the Talk Like

a Pirate Day fundraiser for the food pantry and trying to figure out

own business, and people at the fundraiser hear her give him what
for. A hurricane’s on the way, and when a corpse turn up under the
pirate ship the next day, Jolie’s looking like a suspect.

definitely ditzy. A shady deal for storm repairs at the Ocean Alley
Senior Complex seems to be at the root of Steve Oliver’s hit-and-run

Eric ends up dead at the B&B, Jolie digs for clues as she burns
muffins and appraises houses. Can Jolie find the murderer and expose
fraudulent repair bids – without getting hurt?

house. Unless someone wants what’s hidden behind the walls and is
willing to kill for it. Jolie is pursued by a purse thief and a

an elderly auctioneer dead on her porch swing. Suspects abound, but
they aren’t all going to live to tell their story.

Bad enough that Jolie ends up in the emergency room because she avoided a

deer. Worse to find a dead woman in the hospital restroom. In between
appraising houses and feeding her pet skunk, Jolie’s on the lookout

path. Thanks to best bud Scoobie, she’s also planning a crazy
fundraiser for the food pantry. Just when Jolie’s ready to leave
the murder investigation to the police, she gets a surprise—and
it’s not a good one. Will her need to know see her hurt—or worse?
