“The Society of Sinners”

(Book 1 of The Sinner Series)

“Evil lives in the dark.  We instinctively know this as children.” 

Nestled high in the mountains… The quiet community of Jackson Station is where everyone knows your name and…species?

Vampires have existed since almost the beginning of time, but not in the way we have been led to believe. These were not men cursed by the devil but warriors blessed by God to have great strength, agility, and eternal life. 

Eternal life came at a price, the price of human blood. Some chose to live within their own society; The Society of Sinners.

This is the first in Charity Parkerson’s ‘Sinner Series’ introducing a paranormal world filled with vampires, werewolves, changeling, and God’s greatest warrior.

 Named the Best book by an Indie author in 2012…

By http://paranormalreadsreviews.blogspot.com/

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paranormal-Reads/210602165622398

 Blurb:

The Society of Sinners and the Safe Haven Corporation team up in Parkerson’s third installment of the Sinners Series, in order to locate and capture head of Research Inc., Tacha Vasiliev.
Tacha is accused of using her company as a cover for development of a weapon of mass destruction, the ultimate vampire.
Caleb Cook, aka Danger, is sent to infiltrate the home of Sr. V.P. Narmer Horus in hopes of uncovering clues to Tacha’s whereabouts.
Disguised as head of security, Danger finds his biggest challenge isn’t Narmer himself, but his headstrong daughter, Kim.
However, just as Danger is not what he appears to be, neither is Kim.

Excerpt:

Warning – Mature Audience Only – Adult language and content

The two wildcats transformed as soon as the door closed behind Kim.  The space once occupied by the caracals now held a set of twins.  The two women were identical in every way down to the last calico colored hair.

“Why did you not kill her while you had the chance?”

Harold brushed his bottom lip with the pad of his finger, lost in his own thoughts as he answered Angela’s question.  “There has always been something about that one,” he mused aloud.

“You only wish to enjoy her body,” Bronwyn spat out, sounding jealous.

A fleeting smile touched his lips as he pictured Kim’s delicious body, but he waved it away.  “No.  She is perfection, of course, but I am intrigued.  That is a feeling I have not encountered in years.”

“Intrigued by a new pussy,” Bronwyn muttered.

In a flash of motion, too quick to be witnessed by the human eye, Harold slammed Bronwyn’s body against the wall pinning her there as he squeezed her throat.  Her feet dangled six inches from the floor and tears sprang to her eyes as he tightened his grip.  He held her weight with one hand as if she were no more than a doll.  She scratched at his arm as she fought against his hold but it was useless.  He stared hard into her eyes until he was sure that she understood the precariousness of her situation.  “Do you forget your place?”  He did not bother to loosen his grip and allow her to speak because he did not need to hear her answer.  Her life was meaningless to him, and she only held onto it by his grace.  Leaning forward he pressed his nose to her throat inhaling her scent deep into his lungs.  “Do you fear for your life?”  Without waiting for her answer, he added.  “You should, because it means nothing.  You are a mere plaything, but she is a friend.”  Without warning, he bit into her neck tearing through the skin until the copper taste of blood touched his tongue.  The bitter taste of taint disgusted him and deepened his anger.  Two-thousand years of bitterness well up inside of him rising to the surface until he ripped through Bronwyn’s artery in his rage.  Releasing his grip, Harold allowed Bronwyn’s body to fall and he stared down at her lifeless body unable to feel an ounce of remorse.  Two-thousand years she served him, and he could not feel a thing.  The sound of Angela’s sobs broke through the haze of his fury.  She sat huddled in the corner, covering her mouth with both hands, in an attempt to stifle her cries.  Sweeping the back of his hand across his mouth, Harold attempted in vain to wipe away Bronwyn’s blood.  “Get a broom and sweep this up,” he told Angela, as he stepped over Bronwyn’s rapidly disappearing body.   Feeling as if he had made his point, he snagged the bags of blood as he walked past, confident Angela would keep her opinions to herself.

The Jake West Trilogy

Young-Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Series

Jake West Trilogy~ When worlds collide, heroes are born. ~

The Jake West Trilogy tells the story of two ordinary British teenage boys who by accident unlock a deadly secret which threatens to destroy all humanity. Hunted across two worlds, the teenagers escape to a fantasy land where they will have to rely on each other and the alliances they make in order to survive against the overwhelming magical forces of evil who seeks their destruction.

These inspirational novels, originally written for the Author’s own children, contains heroes in abundance, battles, wizards, dragons, spirits, warriors and beasts, and just plain human guts and determination, with strong elements of friendship and loyalty.

The Jake West Trilogy is an epic fantasy adventure series that has been compared by some readers to the great author C. S. Lewis, and has been described as a cross between The Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter Series.  Without question, this series is destined to take the YA Generation by storm as the next big thing in books and film.

Excerpt:

Jake West – The Keeper Of The Stones

(Book 1)

 Chapter 1

14th August – Harry West’s Attic

Lichfield – Staffordshire, England

In the middle of cleaning, or rather exploring, his grandfather’s attic, Jake West and his best mate, Ben Brooker, both fifteen, discover an old dusty chest in the midst of what was considered to be a collection of old junk.  Ben, happily seeking hidden treasure and adventure takes the lead and out of curiosity opens the chest. Working his way through its contents, surrounded by boxes, books, hats, and flags, he finally catches Jake’s interest with the discovery of family photos and memorabilia from his grandfather’s travels and military history.  After a comment about a mysterious family situation, Jake was about to walk away but stopped as he saw his friend reach forward into the chest once more…

 “Hey! Look at this.” Ben stated, as he pulled out a beautifully ornate wooden box.

“What is it?” asked Jake. “Looks like a music box or something?”

Ben held it up towards the skylight for a better view. The box was made out of a wood they didn’t recognise and it was intricately carved with exquisite patterns all the way around. On its top was a crest, formed out of a different type of wood altogether, a shade darker than the one used to make the box itself. It was shaped like an eagle with outspread wings and it was embossed onto the box somehow so that it protruded ever so slightly.

“That’s weird,” stated Ben, as he examined it closely. “I can’t see any way of opening the thing. There’s no hinges or anything.”

“What? There must be.” replied Jake. “Here, let me have it.”

“Listen, I’m telling you it won’t open!” snapped Ben in frustration, as he tugged and pulled at the sides. “It feels hollow, but as if there’s something inside. Ahh, it just won’t open!” he shouted, before giving up and passing the box reluctantly to Jake.

Jake looked at it closely. Ben was right; there was no obvious way of opening it. He turned it around and around, searching for a catch or a lock of some description and as he did, his right palm passed over the crest.

 ‘Click!’

 The sound was just loud enough for the boys to hear and they instinctively looked at one another.

 ‘Boom !!!’

 An enormous roar shook the building and frightened them both. It was a deafening sound, as if an explosion had occurred nearby.

“Christ !!! What was that?” shrilled Ben. “It sounded like a bomb. Only it was in here.”

Jake’s eyes didn’t move from the box as he replied. “I- I don’t know, it…”  He stopped again in mid-sentence, as he suddenly felt the box move slightly in his hands. “It’s opening. Look. It’s opening!” he cried out excitedly, shouting at Ben as if his best friend couldn’t see what was right in front of him.

The top of the box began to split into two and very slowly each top panel moved outwards. Both sides of the box began shifting, layer after layer, moving slightly outwards until the box had opened fully and each side resembled small inverted stairs. The back of the box had remained intact, but it had extended the entire length of the new object so that it now resembled the shape of a small, opened sewing box.

“Holy sh… Hey, look at that!” shouted Jake, now staring directly into the open box.

Positioned neatly in each corner were four round, coloured gems, all of them roughly about the size of a large grape. Each stone was a different colour; the first was a bright red, the second dark green, the third a bright blue and the fourth a bright yellow. In the centre of the box was a larger , more ruggedly cut, white stone that had no discernible shape and was far less pleasing to the eye. It seemed to just lie there in the centre of the box, without moving. It didn’t move! The stone was touching nothing. But it didn’t move an inch when Jake shook the box. It was somehow suspended in mid-air. The boys looked at each other in amazement, forgetting all about the thunderous bang that had scared them so badly, only seconds before. Suddenly, all four corner stones began to glow brightly. Jake was unnerved by it and he shuffled backwards. He put the box down on the floor and stood up quickly. Ben instinctively stood up beside him. A small hum began resonating from the four corner stones, growing louder and louder until suddenly, each stone came to life and emitted a bright ray of coloured light which surged rapidly towards the centre stone. The four differently coloured beams of light hit it simultaneously and an even louder hum began, as the centre stone started to rise out of the box. It stopped ascending once it had reached its apex and a beam of bright white light suddenly appeared which raced up to the ceiling. The light hit the roof and then it bent, running along the ceiling to the skylight, from where it shot straight up to the sky outside, miraculously leaving the skylight completely intact. When the beam reached the sky, the box once again erupted into a deafening roar. It was even louder than the previous one had been and this time, the boys fell over backwards onto their behinds.

“Aaarghh!!! Christ, I can’t see!” yelled a terrified Ben.

“Yeah, me too!” replied Jake, rubbing his eyes in a hurried attempt to clear his vision. “It’ll be that flash, it shouldn’t last long. Yeah, that’s better. I can see a little now, it’s all blurred and everything’s a little red, but it’s coming back. How about you?”

“Yeah, pretty much the same, thank heavens for that! I thought I was blind for a moment. Oooh that was loud. My ears are still ringing.” Said Ben, as he shook his head and banged his hands against his ears in turn.

“Ditto. Cor, my head’s pounding.” Jake shouted. He moved his jaw around to try to ‘pop’ his ears. “Wow! Bloody hell, mate. What a rush! What have we done? What was that?” The palms of his hands were sweating, he rubbed them on his jeans. His heart was beating so furiously that it felt as if it was going to come out of his chest. Adrenalin was coursing through his body and he was shaking all over.

Ben went quiet, the realization of what had actually happened having just dawned on him. He couldn’t speak, he just stared back at Jake with the same astonished expression on his face and shrugged, before immediately returning his gaze to the stones, and the now slightly diminished light. After a short while though, Ben recovered himself and the power of speech. He turned to face his friend.

“Phew, come on then, Einstein,” he said, with his customary sarcasm, “explain that one!”

Jake shrugged. He had no answers to give. He was equally as stunned and amazed as Ben. As he continued to peer anxiously into the box, waiting to see what else might happen, his mind was in complete turmoil. Something amazing had just happened, that much was abundantly clear. But he really didn’t know whether he should be feeling excited, or scared.

“I don’t think I can explain it, mate.” He answered truthfully. “But I tell you this; there’s one thing I am pretty sure of.”

“Oh yeah? What’s that then?” asked Ben.

“This ain’t no music box!” (And he was right.)

Book 1

http://amzn.com/B006PJ9M3G

I was alive, then I was dead, now I’m stuck somewhere in between. My name is Icarus Fell. I am a harvester. The archangel Michael brought me back to collect souls and help them on their way to Heaven–that’s what a harvester does. If I get enough of them before the bad guys do–if I do a good job–I can have my life back. Now people I knew in life are dying, killed by a murderer’s knife, their bodies defiled, and the cops think I’m the killer. I’m not, but I think I know who is. But how does a dead man, a man who no longer exists, stop a psycho? I’m not sure, but I’m going to stop him before everyone I know is dead. I have to stop him before he gets to my son.

http://amzn.com/B008LQFOQ0

Icarus Fell’s life sucked. Then he died and things got really bad.

After muggers killed him, Icarus became a harvester, his job to help souls on their way to Heaven, and it turned out he possessed as little talent for this as he did for every other job he lost. People are dead. The deposed Angel of Death nearly took his teenage son. The Archangel Michael is angry with him and the police think he is a serial killer.

The only one left on his side is his guardian angel, but when he asks her to help him get to Hell to rescue the souls wrongly condemned because of him, she refuses to go against Michael’s wishes.

Then another guardian shows up. Piper is beautiful, mysterious, and willing to help. Having her around turns Icarus’ afterlife upside down. But knowing how to get to Hell is only half of the problem. Getting back with your soul is the real challenge…

 head shotBio:

Bruce Blake lives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. When pressing issues like shoveling snow and building igloos don’t take up his spare time, Bruce can be found taking the dog sled to the nearest coffee shop to work on his short stories and novels.

Actually, Victoria, B.C. is only a couple hours north of Seattle, Wash., where more rain is seen than snow. Since snow isn’t really a pressing issue, Bruce spends more time trying to remember to leave the “u” out of words like “color” and “neighbor” then he does shoveling. The father of two, Bruce is also the trophy husband of a burlesque diva.

Bruce has been writing since grade school but it wasn’t until six years ago he set his sights on becoming a full-time writer. Since then, his first short story, “Another Man’s Shoes” was published in the Winter 2008 edition of Cemetery Moon, another short, “Yardwork”, was made into a podcast in Oct., 2011 by Pseudopod and his first Icarus Fell novel, “On Unfaithful Wings”, was published to Kindle in Dec., 2011. The second Icarus Fell novel, “All Who Wander Are Lost”, was released in July, 2012, and “Blood of the King”, the first book in the “Khirro’s Journey” epic fantasy trilogy, was released Sept. 30, 2012. He has plans for at least three more Icarus novels, several standalone stories, and a possible YA fantasy co-written with his eleven-year-old daughter.

LRG_JPGSanctum Retribution:

 Shadow Havens Book 3

As Ilea steps farther into her role as the law of the Demesne, anxious speculation about Sebastien and his next move flourishes. Tensions build, as passion sizzles at long-awaited Matings and Kya’s romantic dream comes true when Meniari asks her to attend one with him. It’s a fresh beginning for a warrior with a past and a female hiding a gentle heart behind a tough persona.

Meanwhile, the Father of the Demesnes is having a grand time in Paris, but intelligence soon arrives from the spy he left behind. Infuriated by what he learns, he embarks on a rage-driven plan to force a brutal wedge between the Sanctum and the Saint Rushton Demesne forever, one that will jeopardize Iridea and her unborn child.

A vampiress on the run from the Parisian Demesne risks everything to find Micah Odera in Scotland, shattering his newfound peace with a strange tale of barbaric punishment, an act of treason that saved her life, a nefarious scheme and Circe’s dangerous fascination with Sebastien. Seeking the protection of the Sanctum, she reveals all she knows to Miriel and Andrieu, forcing the haven into a partnership with the Saint Rushton Demesne.

A desperately precarious plan takes shape, as Xavier struggles with Ilea’s demand that he keep a terrible secret for her. If he breaks his vow, the betrayal may cost him her love. If he keeps his word, she may die. Ultimately, Ilea and Iridea will have a single chance to do what only they can – bring Sebastien to meet fate.
