Coming Soon...

X (February 2009)

 

In a fast-paced, cyberpunk world of love, betrayal, political intrigue, sex, and surfing, two women must decide to live by the code, even if it means the ultimate sacrifice. 

Charli Riven, a prototypical Gen-Xer who works hard and plays harder, is known as CharliX to the Consortium, an elite community of coders, hackers, and crackers. She thinks out of the box, manipulates code, and makes money hand over fist for the hedge funds her employer manages. When she’s not shattering glass ceilings and showing the code-boys how it’s done, Charli turns her relentless focus to surfing the Atlantic. And to Anna Pendleton, her brilliant colleague, the only woman she’s ever trusted, in or out of bed. What Charli doesn’t know is that Anna is a CIA plant, hot on the trail of a rogue agent, John Romello. And neither of them knows that Charli is the object of Romello’s quest, that he believes she and other Gen-Xers hold the genetic key to his new world order. When the system is breached and the waves begin to collapse around them, will Charli and Anna solve for X in time?

American Goth by JD Glass

American Goth.  At age two Samantha Cray lost her mother. By fifteen her father was gone. At eighteen she lost the only woman she'd ever truly love. 

Trapped by an unsuspected inheritance, the gift of her father’s blood, guided only by the guardian who holds the secret to her future, Samantha must enter an arcane new world where why she fights is sometimes more important than what…And she must walk the path of Light alone. 

But the darkness within parallels the darkness without… haunted, hunted, and constantly questioning what is duty, what is selfishness, what is self. Boy. Girl. Gay. Straight. All of them, none of them,or something just a little…different, and all intertwined with a destiny only she can fulfill. 

The purest steel goes through the hottest flame. Let those who should beware: the only power to rival love is righteous fury—and a new Wielder has been sworn.

Punk Like Me

 

 

 

A Victory Editions novel

Punk Like Me A coming of age story, a love story…a brave, brilliant story of strength and self-discovery.

Twenty-one year old Nina writes lyrics and plays guitar in the rock band, Adam’s Rib, and she doesn’t always play by the rules. And, oh yeah—she has a way with the girls. Even her brother Nicky’s girlfriends think she’s hot. But the road to CBGBs in the East Village where Blondie and Joan Jett and the Indigo Girls stomped, sweated, and dreamed hasn’t always been easy. In fact, it was damn hard. There were plenty of roadblocks in her way—her own fears about being different, and the nuns, and the parents who didn’t get it, just to name a few. But then there was Kerry. Her more than best friend Kerry—who made it impossible for Nina not to be tough, not to be honest, not to stand by what she knew was right—not to be…Punk.

Punk and Zen

A Victory Editions novel

Punk and Zen. Angst, sex, love, rock. Trace, Candace, Francesca...Samantha. Losing control—and finding the truth within.

Nina is an adult and free on her own terms, but what do you do after you break free? Freedom to...what? She doesn’t feel too much, doesn’t trust anyone, and she certainly knows better than to look for love. That? She saves for music, whether she’s playing guitar or DJing...and everyone dances to her tune. 

But when the dreams Nina works so hard for start to fall into place, the past she thinks she’s left behind returns. As she opens herself—to everything—Nina learns that being punk alone is not enough. She needs to love and be loved, to let go—without losing herself. 

Angst. Sex. Love. Rock. ’Nuff said.

Red Light by JD Glass

Red Light Who rescues the rescuer when there is no 911 for the soul?

Blood is...

“Never let rescuer number one become victim number two” is one of the very first lessons Victoria Scotts, “Tori” to her friends and family, learns as an EMT.  

Blood is...

Caught between family legend and her cousin, Nina, ten years her senior, a musician and a legend in her own right. Tori may be the oldest of her siblings, but never first … not with her family, not with the woman she lives with.

Blood is...

Despite the censure of the mother she supports emotionally and financially, Tori forges her own path as an EMT in the New York City 911 system. In the process she discovers a true calling for what she does, a deep and abiding love for the city and people she serves, and perhaps for the first time in her life, after a series of dangerously charged erotic encounters, a real connection to someone who cares for her because of who she is, and not only for what she can do. 

Blood.

When a good faith attempt to render aid, comfort, and compassion goes horribly wrong, leaving Tori sick and scarred, she must question the validity of her relationships, the ties of flesh and those that transcend it, her faith in the innate goodness of people. Hardest of all, she must face for herself the natural, inevitable…why.
