NEW RELEASE: Leaving Los Angeles – Box Set by Jeffery Martin Botzenhart

A Box Set Collection of all three stories in the paranormal romance series, Leaving Los Angeles. The set contains Satellites, In the Arms of an Angel, and A Night in the Sun.

Satellites
What they want is too far away to touch.

Benji’s wish to become a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra may never happen. He thinks of himself as a satellite in orbit around everything he wants but too far away to touch. As Los Angeles is sometimes referred to as the City of Broken Dreams, his past, present and future seem to reflect this.

On his way to his night job, Benji meets Haley and the attraction is instant. In some ways, her life reflects his. Her dreams, like those of her parents, were too far away to reach. Yet Haley is not a broken dream. She’s real and someone to love in a city that has more devils than angels.

As they fall deeper in love with each other, one thing is certain. If they both wish to find their dreams, leaving Los Angeles may be their only hope for happiness.

Reader Advisory: Some violent content, as not all in Los Angeles are angels.

In the Arms of an Angel
You have until midnight.

Tessa’s spirit haunts an abandoned East Los Angeles church. Through shattered stained glass windows, she watches the world pass her by and often wonders why her eternal soul has not ascended to Heaven. Maybe the violence surrounding her death kept her bound to the church? Or perhaps there was a different reason unknown to her?

Startled when a handsome young man she had been watching seeks refuge for the night in the church sanctuary, Tessa is further surprised to meet the young man’s shepherd, a guardian angel with a purpose. She learns that the young man’s name is Gabriel and that he is dying.

The following morning, Tessa discovers the wondrous gift of life bestowed to her. Yet there is a catch. She only has until midnight to experience the life taken from her. And if her hours of life are spent unselfishly, she could alter the fates of others and find love in the arms of an angel.

A Night in the Sun
No Vacancy

Some remote places that appear abandoned have unknown purposes. Seemingly forgotten by time, for a few fleeting hours, such places come to life, but only for those lost souls drawn to them. The Sun Motel in the California desert is such a place.

Born with the ability to see and speak with the dead, a spirit voice urges Molly to get off the bus traveling back to Los Angeles. Left stranded at a roadside motel in the middle of nowhere, she meets the handsome night clerk and requests a room. But there are no vacancies. She accepts his invitation to share his company in the motel’s diner and soon learns what this place really is.

From sunset until midnight, the guests arrive, each with a story to tell. Does she have a story of her own? Does he? The truth will soon reveal itself as they spend a night in the sun.

New Release: The Reluctant Uber Guru by Diane Demetre

He started driving for money. He kept driving for meaning.

Nick Stavros had it all—success, status, and a marriage that had endured decades. But when the Covid crisis closes his business, his world unravels. Crushed by debt and guilt from a devastating affair, seventy-year-old Nick is left with nothing but regret and one last chance to make things right.

After a raw confession, his wife, Michele, chooses to forgive, and Nick trades his corporate office for a rideshare car, becoming an Uber driver. What begins as a means to survive becomes an unexpected path to healing. His car turns into a confessional on wheels, where strangers share secrets, wisdom flows both ways, and Nick slowly transforms into something he never set out to be… a reluctant guru.

NEW RELEASE: New World and New Blood by Annie Oakfield

“It’s a hot day,” James pointed out. “Indulge yourself for a moment.” He turned away without waiting to see if I reconsidered, and after a moment, he waded closer to Adam, who’d turned his back to James.

I watched, smiling, as James drew his hands down Adam’s arms, and when Adam leaned forward, inviting James to press his body against those firm cheeks, it was the work of a moment for James to prepare himself for entry, Adam groaned loudly, reaching back to press James’s hips as he begged for the surgeon to move more slowly.

NEW RELEASE: Chaste No More by Jason Walker

Helen spelled out her rules while Mike listened. The list contained many things she wouldn’t do, and only a few that she would. It should have been a non-starter for him, but there was an allure and an unspoken challenge to her requirements. She was attracted to him, but she had been so guarded she had all but forgotten what it was like to pursue a physical encounter, much less an actual relationship. On a whim, Helen responded to an ad but quickly encountered a handsome reality. Would she go through with meeting him? Could he be the one to chip away her armor?

“If you adhere to your stated requirements, why did you ever bother to respond to my post? It would seem that our end goals are diametrically opposed.”

They paused while a server placed their dishes. After he left and they each had a few bites, she daintily wiped her lips before speaking.

“I can’t say I really know. I stumbled on that site purely by accident. I had mistyped another website’s address. Once there, I became intrigued and explored a bit. Your post caught my eye, so I responded. It’s no more complicated than that.”

Mike put down his fork. “I disagree. It is much more complicated than that. I thought I stated what I was seeking pretty clearly, yet, your comments, and even the almost dowdy manner you project, seems incongruous to my ends.”

A flash of a smile crossed her lips. “Perhaps it is time for me to consider my options.”
