Unloved and unwanted, Katsia is left by her abhorrent siblings. Now she is alone with her estranged father, who, while still living at House Luz, abandoned her long ago.

All her life Katsia has suffered from what she believes to be a terrible illness. The Shadows have teeth, eyes, spindly fingers, and something to say. But is it insanity or something else that plagues her?

She will soon discover exactly what it is as she is plunged into a new world filled with secret organizations, Gods and Goddesses, friends and foes.

In the world of Stone, who can she trust?

She was born into a world of magic, but she has none of her own…

Cassie Scot is the normal daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. She strives to find a place for herself, but living in the shadow of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. All she wants is a nice, normal job, but her dreams of independence from magic are threatened when she stumbles upon the gruesome body of sixteen-year-old Nancy Hastings.

Now Cassie is plunged into a paranormal investigation which gets her tangled up with the victim’s powerful family, the Blackwoods. Dark, dangerous, and handsome Evan Blackwood tempts Cassie deeper into a world she seeks to escape. Yet Evan—and magic itself—may not be ready to let her go.

This is the novel the FBI and CIA don’t want you to read! After being delayed by the US Government for over a year, it’s finally here! The author, Bob Asher, is a supervisory intelligence officer with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).

Ruthless Russian Spetsnaz soldiers are marauding the Alaskan wilderness killing everyone who has the misfortune to stumble across their path!

“A fast-paced, action-packed military thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats. Bear Trap takes America’s best out of retirement to retrieve a Soviet-era defector from a group of Russian Spetsnaz kidnappers ready to kill without hesitation. An exhilarating mission written with the precision and attention to detail of someone who has clearly been on the battlefield, this book is easily capable of becoming an award-winning movie.” – Kristi Elizabeth, San Francisco Book Review

“Bear Trap’s title perhaps holds a portent of its strengths, because it certainly traps its readers with a thoroughly engrossing read that is impossible to put down—or predict.” – Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

Fortunately, CIA Paramilitary Operations Officer and retired Navy SEAL, Jon Smith, has just arrived in Homer, Alaska for a well-deserved vacation.

The Russians have invaded America to bring a defector, former KGB Colonel Oleg Karpinsky, back to the Motherland. Days after the Berlin Wall came down Karpinsky defected. Thirty years later, Dr. Karpinsky is a respected CIA scientist conducting research in the paranormal sciences. He uses a method like ESP called Remote Viewing to gather intelligence on America’s enemies and allies. He is enjoying his annual winter vacation in an isolated cabin in the frozen Alaskan wilderness with his personal security detail (PSD) when the NSA intercepts a message from the Kremlin ordering his covert extraction. Attempts to warn them via their satellite phone go unanswered. The President orders the Pentagon to retrieve them before the Russians can attack. There’s only one problem.

Alaska is experiencing severe icing weather that has grounded all military air assets within range of the cabin except for a lone Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter on the ramp at Homer Airport. The Pentagon scrambles to assemble an ad hoc rescue team for a possible suicide mission facing a highly trained team of Spetsnaz operators.

Can Jon Smith and his ragtag group of Red Shirts save Karpinsky before time runs out?

In every book journey they are excited to land in a unique world and meet a different kind of paranormal being. And even better, in these books, calories don’t count, and the cat talks!
