Power to Forgive

By
Ben Kogan, stood on the deck of the ferry taking him to Wiccan Haus, he tried to ignore the frigid spray of sea water, smacking him in the face.. The almost constant ache from the cold in his right knee, which he injured three months ago in a blotched mission, caused him to shift his weight to elevate the pain. Only a little bit longer, and I’ll be off this fucking boat. He kept his focus on the horizon , and willed the damn fog to lift so that he could finally see where they were going.

Unable to stop himself, Ben glanced down at his wrist for the hundredth time, five minutes had passed since he last looked.. The paperwork they’d received stated the ferry would dock at exactly noon. Only fifteen minutes away. Yet, Ben didn’t even know if it was possible, since the foggy curtain didn’t move and there’d been no sign of an island anywhere..

Normally a patient man, Ben felt off balance, even a bit antsy as the ferry chugged through the choppy waters. A possible future waited for him on that island and he wanted to do everything he could to make sure when the end of the week arrived, he stepped off the island with Molly. Sweet Molly, who’d arrive on the island at some point later on today.

He forced himself to remain watchful and still. Thankfully, he happened to be an extremely well trained military man, otherwise he’d have jumped off the side of the damn boat and swam to the island. A former Navy SEAL and now a Commanding Officer in his Para Elite Unit, Ben had no fear of the ice-cold water, or what lurked in the watery depths, but he knew his bum knee would give out before the first mile.

A flash of red from out of the corner of his eye drew his ever-watchful gaze from the horizon to the woman who strode across the deck carrying two cups toward a tall, geeky looking kid.  Amanda, his second in command, and friend, had found someone who she deemed needed ‘help.’ Ben watched as she handed the kid a cup, and they both took a sip. When she held her hand out and the guy, didn’t take it, Ben stepped in. Moving from his spot, he winced as his knee adjusted to the rolling ferry.

Six Sentence Sunday with Kalkin

They say things happen for a reason. I hope this is true! In the middle of April, Kalkin, which had been released January 9th, was pulled from all book retailers because of a situation out of our control with our publisher. We asked and got our rights back on it. It was, one of the hardest decisions TL and I have ever made. It was, in my mind still selling well. For the most part, TL and I have remained quiet as to why's and what's on why it happened. Simply stating it was a situation out of our control. And this is true. But see I don't think I'm going to do that anymore. TL and I did nothing wrong. We followed the rules and did everything our contract requested of us. Here is the truth though, dear reader, we're not even sure if we will get paid. It's all up in the air, and without prompting, the publisher has yet to reach out to us. There are also a few other extenuating circumstances that puts us into an even tougher position. Ones that could affect

#SixSentenceSunday with Kalkin

It's been a crazy week. The indie world was set on its ear when a well-known writer decided to TM a word often used in Romance/Erotica. I refuse ...I mean I absolutely refuse to say the author's name. I simply refer to her as you know who or the one who shall not be named. I consider her Voldemort to be honest. It's just easier for me. I've been reading everything that's been posted, both sides. TL has also been keeping me in the loop when new stuff goes down and I'm not around. Listen, I understand wanting to TM your name, your series name. I get it. I  just don't get or like how it's been done. It smells of bullying and there just has to be a better way. There just has to be . And I believe, as in this is my opinion, it's going to end badly. There is not much I can do. TL and I don't have a horse in this race, but we're going to support those who do, in any way we can. Either by sharing books they've had to change the tit

Six Sentence Sunday with Rule Breaker

This week's #SixSentenceSunday is from Rule Breaker. The first book in our R.O.O.T series. It's an action-adventure Military Romance novel. We had a fun researching and writing this first book. We hope at some point this year to at least start writing the second book in the series. Our hero, Asher Rainer was a blast to write for the simple fact, he has no filter. He says whatever is currently floating around in his head. TL and I knew we'd done it right when our editor informed us she'd never read a character as blunt as Asher. If you haven't had a chance to get Rule Breaker, now is your chance, since it's currently on sale on Amazon only for 1.99.   Rule Breaker Amazon buy link. See below for my contribution for today's Six Sentence Sunday. “I want a lawyer,” he announced as he picked himself up off the ground and slumped back on the bed. Asher would have the damn bed, chair, and table removed from the room when he was done talking to the jack
