He’s a riddle I can’t solve…until one night rips away the veil.
I always felt there was something peculiar about Roald Trenton, that behind his blindness he saw me better than I saw myself. When a frightening creature, a being out of a horror movie attacks me, a glowing silvery defender comes to my rescue, sweeping me away to safety, reaching inside me, and pulling the poison from my body. Setting fire to my desires, he ignites a connection to a world I knew nothing about…until now.

New York Police Department’s Sixteenth Precinct in Manhattan is under siege by the flu, and Detective Nick Larson and his partner, Detective Victor Sacco, are up to their armpits with work overload. The captain’s cigar is seriously chewed and everyone is working around the clock. To complicate matters, on a personal level, things aren’t going smoothly, either. Laura Howard, the woman Nick loves, is also having issues with a psycho twin sister who is doing everything to ruin Laura’s business and her life. Then Nick’s captain assigns a new case, a suicide. From the moment Nick steps on scene, however, something doesn’t feel quite right, especially when, upon investigating the case further, the supposed suicide looks more and more like a homicide. Immediately, Nick’s instincts kick into gear, but rev into overdrive when similar, questionable suicides pop up around the area. And with the way things had been going lately, it would just be Nick’s luck to have a serial killer on the loose.

Those who watch Stranger Things may recognise the title. The Upside Down is the debut track by Cannon Beach.
This is such a catchy tune. That’s officially released 30th October. This UK based band will be featuring in the break of November’s Author Assist Radio Show, on the Artist First Radio Network. At 1.30pm EST
Combining classic emo themes with a distinctive 80’s synth beat, Cannon Beach have concocted a signature sound in an unexpected way. Coming from the creative minds of producer Daniel Jeffery (Inherit The Stars), and singer Beth Connelly (Crimson Tide), Cannon Beach is an exploration into new territory for the pair, who have worked together in the past on previous projects, but never as a joint venture such as this.
Eager to create a more upbeat sound during these tumultuous times, Cannon Beach was approached almost as an homage to pop culture, reviving the futuristic sounds of the 80s and bringing them into the 21st century. When asked how they would describe Cannon Beach, Beth and Daniel said to “Well, we’re heavily inspired by popular movies, tv shows, video games…even our name ‘Cannon Beach’ is a reference to where they shot a scene from Goonies. We want to capture and recreate the same fun you experienced but as music. It’s new, yet totally nostalgic at the same time.” True to form for both Connelly and Jeffery, Cannon Beach is very much about coping with the hard times by surrounding yourself with things you love, in this case the very best that pop culture has to offer, and being reminded that you are not alone. Expect more single releases from the South Yorkshire outfit within the coming months.
Believe me, if this track is anything to go by, their album is going to be blinding. Keep your ears and eyes open for more from this band.

While we’re waiting for award-winning author, Maria Elena Alonso Sierra’s new novel, A detective thriller called Hanging Softly In The Night. She’s decided to tease us with a short story.
A case that needs to be solved by Detective Nick Larson.
Detective Nick Larson is on the last stages of an investigation into a brutal murder. By all the evidence, this is a slam dunk—an open and shut case, with the killer caught on video committing the heinous crime. Easy. But something is wrong. Nick’s gut is on fire, sending signals worthy of a five-alarm blaze. So, he has two choices: if he ignores his instincts, the repercussions could be detrimental to the suspect. And if he’s wrong, there will be no justice for the victim. Only by reexamining the evidence, especially the damning video, will he be able to find the truth and solve the case. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H5TS9DT
PLUS….
She’s also giving us the first chapter of her new novel as a bonus.
The 10th book in the amazing Pseudoverse Series is now released.
Welcome to the deepest, darkest part of your mind, Pseudos! A probe sent into space is back on Earth, taken over the planet, demanded all of the women travel back to planet Kepler425b, all the while manipulating all life on Earth including A.I. and robots.
Fire asks the questions, “where did we come from, and how did we get here? If humanity found out that it was about to be put to the ultimate test, how would the entire planet react?” This sequel to Ice is about love, compassion, understanding, and of course, humans and robots living together in the 22nd century. If we could cohabitate with artificial intelligence and conceive children, would we risk everything to carry on a legacy? Can we meld with A.I. and still be human? Once we reach the age of Transhumanism, we can never go back. Would we want to if we knew that our ancestors were once―? There is no denying the truth once you know it is for real.
Fire combines all of the elements that most conspiracy theorists hold dear to their hearts, such as robotics, A.I., alien Intervention, Egyptology, and solar alignment. We wouldn’t forget to include time travel, prognostication, and many other subjects that would fill the halls of a science and historical fiction museum. Starting where Ice left off, Fire will breathe chaos into a world that is overrun with Robokopias and send you on the roller coaster ride of your life. If you don’t believe a novel can be this much fun, try to put this baby down once you have started reading. I hope you enjoy the madness that is the Pseudoverse as your favorite characters, and some new ones, come back to try to save humanity from a twenty-seven-year-old mistake.
Pseudos, welcome to the Blade Zone. You are about to get your brain assaulted seven ways from Monday. This novel deals with two subjects that most people love to talk about quite regularly, artificial intelligence, and ancient aliens. I hope you find this take on these subjects entertaining and thrilling. I have melded both of these subjects together because I believe one day we will find out that one has to do with the other, and we were right all along about most of our theories on these subjects. There is just too much evidence on planet earth to ignore the facts. As our antagonist says to Ray Nelson in this novel:
“At one time, humans were smarter than they were today. Look at how long it took you to become technologically perceptive. If humans have been here for thousands of years, why did it take you only two-hundred of those years to go from steam power to developing artificial intelligence? I will tell you why. You only have broken the barrier of your brainpower at around twelve percent. Imagine what you could have done with the fifty to seventy-five, or even eighty percent that you started with.”
I want to share a quote with you about Artificial Intelligence:
“Anything that could give rise to smarter-than-human intelligence – in the form of Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or neuroscience-based human intelligence enhancement – wins hands down beyond contest as doing the most to change the world. Nothing else is even in the same league.” —Eliezer Yudofsky
I sincerely hope you enjoy the novel that has been one year in the making. Robotic Love, CG Blade

A little bit about CG Blade and his backstory… “Great novels comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable.”
Soaking up every English class in two colleges, he remained steadfast to writing the Pseudoverse Series for the past twenty years. Readers are very familiar with the “jaw-dropping, neck-snapping plot twists” in the Pseudoverse Series of novels. Lightning strikes CG Blade’s powerful creative side regularly, as he never stops writing between novels. The Pseudoverse novels are a “mash-up” of historical fiction, science fiction, horror, and plenty of dark humor and sarcasm. A love of the series “Fringe,” “Universal and Hammer Sci-Fi/Horror” films, and the great minds of authors such as Huxley, Orwell, Dick, Lovecraft, Nelson, Bradbury, Heinlein, Wells, and many others, are the foundation for CG’s writing. CG Blade’s style and technique is a derivative all his own turned upside-down as he takes you through a world of New Order using technology as the ultimate master race.
Author, creative writer, Transhumanist, Pseudosynth, and former robotic engineer and programmer, CG is an avid science fiction reader and lover of twisting, ever-turning plots. Taking the reader down many thrilling cyber roads and mysterious paths, his narratives rely heavily on past and present scientific, historical research, and the human condition. Melding the past, present, and future, these stories are carefully mixed and stirred with music lyrics, real people, historical fiction, and the potential of artificial intelligence run amok. Fused with satirical commentary and the first musical “Grindhouse” intermissions in novels (Including poetry), he continues his fiction writing with Amaranth, Gold, Amber, Copper, Radium, and Turquoise, and Granite. He currently lives in Ohio with his wife Jackie, and their two rambunctious but lovable cats, Jeri Boo, and Bullet.
“Science fiction’s message should be subtle. Like a robotic finger pushing through your skull, poking around, waking you up.” CG Blade http://www.pseudosynthpress.com
“The Pseudoverse Series has everything you love in one set of fantastic novels! These are the most gripping, twisting, turning, and well-written series of futuristic historical fiction novels you will ever lay your hands on. You will be asking yourself, “why didn’t I come across these sooner?” The cliffhangers from novel to novel suck you in like no other series you have read in a long time. Kudos to CG, and his extensive research into all things scary, including “politics by mind-control.”” – Karen S. – Amazon Review

There’s a thin line between love and revenge
There are two main players in this novel. However, even the side characters are just as important.
Joe is an ex-marine who is out for revenge and then there is Hunter, who is penned as a whore and man user, when in fact, she is the total opposite. Only when men’s egos get damaged, they find a way to fight back. Thus she’s left with a reputation she doesn’t deserve.
With a wonderful backstory and the plot coming together, the author then throws in sex and submission.
Joe is a dominant. He lives the lifestyle and has two regular submissives who he plays with.
Determined to get his revenge on the innocent Hunter, he soon discovers that she is a born submissive and is perfect for him. Someone he never even knew he was looking for.
But they both hold secrets that need to be told. Who will break first? And how much more damage can it cause to two broken people?
The author does a great job of explaining the dynamics of a dominant and a submissive relationship.
This is the perfect book for those that love reading hot sizzling sex scenes.
Who would turn down Joe’s command? I know I wouldn’t.
The author will open your mind to this world, and the amazing writing will have you picturing yourself in Hunter’s place or you guys, being the dominant Joe.
Each scene is carefully mapped out. Each character in this book plays a crucial role.
Is there a happy ending for Joe and Hunter? You’ll have to read this book to find out.
I read it in two sittings and I only put it down because I was forced to.
A great read and I look forward to more hot novels by this author.
Her submission is his sweet revenge…until the truth detonates his plans.
When Joe learns Hunter’s name, his inner Dom’s lust turns to black rage—he’s convinced it’s her fault a teammate committed combat suicide. He embarks on a plan to seduce her, but by the time her sweetness ensnares him, the truth threatens what could be the love of a lifetime.
