Freebie and Review for Dark Deeds by Susan Fleet

Posted on June 23, 2014 by fundinmental

Dark Deeds: Serial killers stalkers and domestic homicides (Book 2)

by Susan Fleet

Stranger than fiction, a collection of 13 true crimes: the victims, the criminals, the bloody consequences. “Fleet immerses us in the world of serial killers, stalkers and domestic homicides. Well researched and well written. A 5 star recommend!” Art Smukler, psychiatrist & author

Dark Deeds (Book 2) is FREE June 23 through June 27, 2014.

Susan Fleet manages to weave her love of music into her suspense/thrillers novels.

Susan also investigates the dark side of human nature world wide. I think she is as curious as I am to know what makes these people tick.

Be aware, be vigilant , because sometimes the monster is right next door.

I love her website, so if this sounds like something you are interested in, check her out at Susan Fleet or Renzi’s Rants.

MY REVIEW

Each chapter features one true crime case – 4 serial killer cases, four stalker cases and four domestic homicide cases, with a special case in Chapter 13 that Susan found difficult to categorize.

Susan tells their life story, including where they are now. At least these ones you don’t need to worry about any more. If they are not dead, they will never walk the streets again.

No one knows how many serial killers are active in the US. Some people think as many as one hundred people are murdered by them each year, but that is not accounting for the ones never found.

There are many more stalkers than serial killers and domestic homicide is a horrendous problem with most victims being women and children.

In the early years, before special investigation units, computers connecting similar cases in different states and advanced police techniques, who knows how many people could have been saved. We can see the advancement in police procedure has jumped by leaps and bounds.

(Photo courtesy of Photobucket)

Serial killers often have a signature, something that stamps their name on a killing,. It can be how they kill or the trophies they take.

Stalker assassins attack celebrities, presidents and others because they believe they can get away with it. How does a man’s mind work, when he believes, in this day and age, that he can pull a gun on the president and walk away? They are obsessed and believe they are in love. They will become violent when confronted and rejected. California was the first state to pass anti stalking laws in 1990. Looking back, it’s hard to believe we waited so long and why did we? That may be a story in itself.

(Photos courtesy of Susan Fleet’s blog)

I read these type of books, because man’s cruelty and depravity heaped on others for pure enjoyment is very disturbing and I am fascinated (is that the proper word) by the question, why. What makes them tick?

I can never understand how a nurse could kill her patients. The bigger question is how can hospitals and medical management allow it to continue to happen. I think most of us have heard a story or two about a criminal having a long rap sheet and question why nothing was done sooner.

(Photo courtesy of Wikipedia)

I watch TV shows, like Criminal Minds (my personal favorite) and CSI, and see where they get their inspiration. I also watch a lot of the true crime shows, like Forensic Files and Cold Case. I have a morbid fascination with murder.

I do believe there is something wrong with these people, but I do not believe an insanity plea should get them off. They know the difference between right and wrong, they just don’t care. Sometimes, I think the justice system is skewed too much in favor of the accused and his rights and the victim is forgotten. After all, they can’t speak for themselves – because they are DEAD.

I cannot understand the binge killings, especially the ones committed by younger people. All the school shootings….I don’t even know what to say. It stuns me. Who are these “people”?

(Photo courtesy of Photobucket)

In some cases, I believe the murders could have been avoided. Some criminals have a rap sheet a mile long and are walking around and breathing air, just like you and me. Is it because we don’t believe anyone is capable of doing something like that or they are as bad as they are. or is the justice system overwhelmed with criminal cases?

Susan has done her research. Each story is told from beginning to end, telling us where these killers are today. She satisfied my curiosity about that. I still wonder, and probably will forever, HOW CAN THEY DO THAT AND WHY?

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I received Dark Deeds, Book II from Susan Fleet, the author, in return for an honest and unbiased review.

SYNOPSIS

Dark Deeds-Volume Two contains 12 new true crime cases about serial killers, stalkers and domestic homicides.Once again, Susan Fleet has researched, written and compiled detailed accounts of twelve true crime cases: four serial killers, four stalkers and four domestic homicides. Chapter 13 involves a case that defies categorization. Some examples …

• Serial killers: The Candy Man loves little boys to death.
• Stalkers: Arthur Bremer and John Hinkley Jr. stalk Presidents.
• Domestic Homicide: A rabbi pays a man to murder his wife.

No one knows how many serial killers are roaming the United States. Some experts believe they murder as many as 180 people each year. Others say the count may be much higher because some serial killers hide the bodies and they’re never found. Stalkers far outnumber serial killers. Each year they threaten and intimidate 3.4 million people in America. Although stalkers may profess love for the objects of their obsession, many seriously injure or kill their “love object.”

Domestic homicide is rampant in the United States. Women and children rarely kill family members; men commit the majority of domestic homicides. Some are crimes of passion. Others are carefully calculated. Why bother with a divorce when you can kill your spouse?

Here’s what Arthur Smukler, MD, psychiatrist and author of Chasing Backwards, a psychological mystery, said about Dark Deeds, Volume One: “In Dark Deeds, Susan Fleet immerses us in the world of serial killers, stalkers, and domestic homicides. An inveterate fiction enthusiast, I found her real-life tales obsessively haunting and educational.”

Free – A 5 Star Short Story – Would you like blood with that? – Dark Whiskey by Emma Meade

Posted on February 9, 2014 by fundinmental

Dark Whiskey is a spine tingling short story (app. 7100 words) that will have you asking Emma Meade for more. It is amazing how so much can be contained in a small package.

The cover was designed by Clarissa at Book Cover Art. Hop on over and check her out.

Jesse senses something off about the nightclub. She wants to leave, but her best friend, Tasha, is determined to have a night to remember. There’s no way Tasha’s turning down an invite to the VIP section.

Against Jesse’s better judgement, she follows Tasha up the ivory staircase to the mysterious room above.

The whiskey and champagne are flowing, and pretty soon the blood will be too.

Anyone anywhere in the world can download it from Smashwords as a pdf, mobi or epub.

Try Amazon.com if you’re in the US / Barnes & Noble / Sony /iTunes

And hopefully down the line Dark Whiskey will be listed as Free on international Amazon sites.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Review

Uh oh! Jesse knew they should not have gone into the bar.

The vibes were bad and kept getting worse. She felt she should run, not walk to the nearest exit. But, she didn’t.

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

Dark Whiskey grabbed me from the first page and swept me through to the last. The suspense kept me racing through the pages. Emma Mead’s writing is easy to read and flows smoothly. I can never figure out how an author can pack so much into a short story.

I must confess, I almost liked Eli.

I couldn’t help but laugh as Emma describes the girls. I had a girlfriend that was the motivator in our relationship, so I could relate to both of the girls.

Tasha got dumped and was determined to get back on the “horse”. Being BFFs, Jesse felt she had to be there for her, but wasn’t happy about it. Since her breakup, Tasha refused to go to their usual haunts, so, on to new territory. Have you been there, sticking by your friend, even when you know they are making a huge mistake?

Haven’t we all done something stupid when we were drinking? Okay, maybe not all of us.

I would love to hear more from Jesse and Eli. I feel there is a story to be told.

Freakin Friday #15-If this doesn’t Freak you out,I don’t know what will-The Blight by Rachel E Fisher

Posted on January 24, 2014 by fundinmental

Freakin Friday!

Freakin Fridays is a meme brought to you by fuonlyknew. We will be posting about books, movies, and all things scary.

Feel free to join in and do your own Freakin Fridays posts!

Tune in every Friday. Get your scare on!

Let’s have some fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blight is the original backstory of Eden’s Root and is always FREE. I believe, if you grab this book, you will feel you have to read the rest.

I look at the beautiful cover for The Blight and I think it signifies the beginning, but really it is the ending of the world as we know it.

I have read and reviewed Eden’s Root (Book I) and Seeds of War (Book II) and I can hardly wait to read Emergence (Book III) of the trilogy. Rachel E Fisher has won me over as a fan for LIFE. To see my reviews, scroll to the end of the post. To get The Blight, click on the cover.

These books are so realistic that it reinforces my fear of what is going on today with our food supply.

Are you afraid? Maybe you should be. I have questioned scientists use of growth hormones in our meat and genetically modifing grains to make food resistant and grow quicker. It frightens me and pisses me off at the same time. What gives them the right to play God? Read on, but take a deep breath, let it out slow and buckle your seatbelt, because it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.

All the covers are beautiful and the titles hint at what is to come.

This review is very difficult for me to write. I do not want to spoil anything for you. I think these books, even though they are fiction, should be a warning.

“Not everybody associated with a bad thing is a bad person.”

But where do you draw the line? What if you knew what you were doing was dangerous, would you still continue to do the work? Would you blow the whistle?

Scientists mantra – discover, discuss, debate, but never conclude. Does that give them the right to play God and not accept blame for the result if it is bad? They sure want the praise when it is good. But, no, it’s not their fault. They only did the work, others made the decisions of what to do with it.

Only the Chosen would know the specifics. Only the Chosen would be protected. But the Chosen would need resources – people, information, supplies…. Resources would need to be saved and protected, hidden for safety. They would need this to rebuild a new world.

My heart bleeds for so many of the characters. The decisions they have to make are, not only soul sucking, but leave millions to die and the rest to fend for themselves.

Louis – outspoken. Felt they had already crossed the threshold of no return. He spoke the Truth and many did not want to hear it.

I loved when Rachel talked about Louis’s green children – he carried pictures of his houseplants, greenhouse and outdoor garden. I couldn’t help but laugh. I know people consider their pets their children, but plants? LOL

Fi – a redheaded Boticelli.

2030 Heirloom – scientific definition – strains of plants and animal that predate WWII, a hundred years or older, before genetic modification and hybrids.

Politicians – they undermine the good in the name of the powerful. I feel the government uses subterfuge to distract us from what is really going on.

Mike – Fi’s father. Mike knew that Fi, his daughter, would love learning about the project to plan for an outer space colony.

Stan is the money man behind Eden, seed capital.

5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)

Even when you know the right thing to do, sometimes it is not possible to do it.

Blight is always FREE on Amazon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quotes

There are so many quotes in the book I want to use, that my review would be all quotes if I didn’t figure out how to do it differently. lol

“We now have dominion over Nature.” That one is going to bite them in the ass.

“But?”

Darryl “…some evidence that this sequence can also cause plants senesce well before flowering…….transferred to several wild species of grasses….”

Senesce – to die before producing seeds. Speed up development but it will also speed up aging.

“This is about the moral duty of the innovator.” “….we will pay for playing God.”

“….politics trump science…”

“Are you girls online shopping in preparation for going real shopping?’ LOL

Darryl – “I’m the architect of the disaster.”

“I guess the time is here.”

“…the shit has officially hit the fan.”

“There is only so much room on the Ark…”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rachel E Fisher

I am a wife and entrepreneur living and working in Florida. I am also a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, where I majored in Biology. It was always my assumption that I would end up making research my life. Though it did not work out that way in the end, my passion for Biology remains intact.

I have always loved biology-based science-fiction and the young adult genre. It is in this vein that I offer my work.

In Rachel Fisher’s dystopian world, natural grown food has turned to poison or died before it can produce fruit. This idea was partly inspired by her own life and the necessity of creating vegan and gluten-free meals.

Free Book & Review – Where’s Lolly by Stephen Henning

Posted on January 16, 2014 by fundinmental

I love this cover. It speaks to me of adventure and the unknown.

If you are wondering Where’s Lolly, you can get it for FREE on Amazon on January 15, Wednesday, and Thursday, January 16, 2014.

US / UK

BLURB

Where’s Lolly? A Class Heroes Novella. Class Heroes book 3.Lolly Rosewood is 16 years old and she is on the run. She has arrived in London, penniless, alone and – worse still – she has lost her fearsome superpowers.She is being hunted by the police and the Security Service, MI5. She has no friends and very few people who would want to help her.Lolly needs money and a place to lie low, while she formulates a plan to rescue Sir Michael Rosewood, her father, who is being held prisoner by the British Government at a secret location.There is one person who may just agree to help Lolly. An old friend of her father. However, time is running out because the Security Service are hot on her trail…Note For Parents: This book is suitable for readers age 14 +. It contains adult themes. There is some non-gratuitous sexual content.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Review of Where’s Lolly by Stephen Henning

I am so happy to see that Stephen Henning has written a book for the villainess. It is unusual that I become so enamored by a “bad guy”, but Lolly has my full attention. I can’t help but feel some empathy for her in this novella. With her background, it is not surprising that she turned out the way she did, but she is a human being. There is a heart, though it seems to be buried pretty deep. Can anyone reach her, make a connection?

She is on the run, with only one person to turn to. But, can he, will he be able to help her?

I was walking through the words, strolling along. Before I knew it, I was racing through the pages, so curious to see the outcome. Images flashed through my mind – Lolly holding the man by the heels, threatening to drop him off the roof – scaling walls and creating fire with her super powers.

I love it! Stephen Henning had my attention from the beginning to the end. Lots of action and emotion in such a few pages. I think this novella will entice you to read further and discover the adventures of the superheroes, James and Sam. Maybe you will even develop some empathy for Lolly, as I did. After all, she is only an unhappy teenager with superpowers. How bad can it be?

5 STARS Would Buy It For Them (lol)

I received this novella from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.

Blast Giveaway & Freebie – Return To Audubon Springs by RoseAnn DeFranco

Posted on November 6, 2013 by fundinmental

Audubon Springs by RoseAnn DeFranco is FREE at AMAZON during the tour. Please be sure and check for the “0”.

RETURN TO AUDUBON SPRINGS

RoseAnn DeFranco

BLURB

When Emma Grant returns to her family’s Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations of her father’s will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out of the house for good. She’s never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young daughter, she has no choice.

Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma’s life years ago, but he’s determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma and the house.

Their ridiculous and steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she’s kept their daughter a secret for two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?

~~~~~~~

EXCERPT

Emma would have looked adorable in the simple snug tank top and Bermuda shorts if it weren’t for the look of utter horror on her face.

“Have you lost your mind?” she screamed.

“Yes!” He turned off the saw, threw it on the ground, whipped off his protective goggles and tossed them as well. “Why do you ask?”

“You cut a massive hole in the back door!”

“This here is an example of our differences. You see a hole. I see a home improvement project. This is no ordinary square hole in a door, this is a doggie door.” He pushed on the large piece of cut wood until it fell and landed on the pantry floor inside with a loud clap.

“It’s about three times the size of a doggie door,” she stated flatly.

“Yeah, but I’m the dog. So Princess, what do you think?”

“I think you are insane.”

“I AM insane! You have MADE me insane! You threw all my stuff out front. You used my underwear for rags!”

“I couldn’t find anything else.”

“There is a basket full of rags in there.”

“None of them fit the occasion,” she said with a straight face.

“I must have lost my mind because that almost makes sense.” He gestured to the door. “Ladies first.” When she stared unmoving, he climbed through the cut door and opened it. “Just for the record, a caveman would have made you climb through.”

“Just for the record, I only changed the locks on the front door.”

A Surprise in my Mailbox – Free book for you – Murder in the South of France by Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Posted on August 30, 2013 by fundinmental

AMAZON

SYNOPSIS

Maggie Newberry is sheltered, privileged but also a whip-smart advertising copywriter who’s fast on her feet and a little stunned to realize that she’s 34 years old and still hasn’t found “the one.” When her long-missing sister ends up dead in Maggie’s trendy Atlanta condo, Maggie finds herself flying to the south of France to find the little niece that up until then no one in the family even knew existed. Along the way, she finds handsome Laurent Dernier, a sexy if nefarious Frenchman who it’s not clear is there to help or hinder Maggie’s search for the girl. Meanwhile, her sister’s murderer sets his sights on the little girl — and Maggie.

The first book of the Maggie Newberry Mystery Series, Murder on the Côte d’Azure won 3rd prize in the National Writer’s Competition in 2001 in manuscript.

SYNOPSIS

Forced to live a clandestine life, Danielle “Dani” Jordon believes she has found a safe haven in Las Vegas until she meets devastatingly handsome casino owner Jace Diamond. With his compelling sexual magnetism and mind-numbing kisses, Dani finds her world turned upside-down.

EXCERPT

Dani stopped halfway in the room. She felt like she’d just been undressed with his eyes, but instead of making her feel disgusted as she had with Martin Pace, he’d caused her body to warm with pleasure. She hated that he could control her reactions to him, so she said indignantly, “One look wasn’t enough the last time, so you needed a repeat performance?”

He rose to his feet and smirked. “If I recall, we were supposed to exchange notes. I was just refreshing my memory.”

“Tonight I escaped the mauling of one pervert. Do I need to defend myself from another?”

His eyes flared with anger at her words, but he replied calmly, “Don’t put me in the same category as that excuse for a man.”

“Sorry. That was totally uncalled for.” Her gaze fell to the floor. “It’s been a tough night.”

He circled the front of his desk to face her.

She raised her head and followed him with her eyes and couldn’t help scrutinizing his body as he moved. He was tall. She figured him to be at least 6’3”, with broad shoulders, a lean body, and long legs. He had a really great body and so much male sexuality pouring from him, she figured women threw themselves at him all the time. No wonder he was so self-assured and arrogant. Her reaction to him was no different than other woman. No matter how much she denied it, she was very attracted to him.

She had to make sure Jace never learned of her attraction. It would be a very dangerous weapon to put in his hands. When her eyes returned to his, she realized he was watching her.

He crossed his arms and grinned. “Refreshing your memory, too, I see? Do you like what you see?”

Dani’s face instantly heated as she realized what she’d been doing. A few minutes ago she’d berated him for leering at her, and she was doing the same thing. Damn! She was treading on dangerous ground. Jace didn’t seem to be a man to be played with.
