Breakwater Harbor Books is excited to announce the release of Melissa Simonson's newest novel, SNUFF! Simonson is best  known for her hit  Thriller/Horror novel, Doubles, and this is her fifth  release. For a taste of  this addicting new author, read the pitch below!

Book 3 of 4 in a series involving FBI SSA Maxwell. (Can be read as stand-alones)

Brooke is found on the side of the road at three a.m., clutching a dead body and a burner cell phone. This doesn’t surprise LAPD,  who’d expected as much from the moment she went missing. What they also expect  is suicide—the kidnapped girls who turned up the same way killed themselves  within hours.

Being the sole living witness of the crime is almost more  than she can handle, but an LAPD homicide sergeant is there to hold her  restrained hand as she retraces every waking moment of the time she spent in  that dungeon with her murdered friend, Abby.

Brooke knows why the other  girls committed suicide. She might too, if she didn’t have some very complicated reasons to live.

To the dismay of Sergeant Jennings, Brooke confirms the  most troubling theory of all: the girls are being filmed those three weeks  they’re held captive. Not for their captor’s personal enjoyment, but for his  number one fan.

Breakwater Harbor Books is excited to announce the release of Melissa Simonson's newest novel, The Young and the Reckless! Simonson is best known for her hit  Thriller/Horror novel, Doubles, and this is her fourth release. For a taste of  this addicting new author, read the pitch below!

Lila was one of many women allegedly assaulted by Bradley Holiday. Five months after the fact, a counselor tells her the only way she’ll find closure is to confront him. She never expected to stumble into a friendship  with the monster who raped her repeatedly.

But is he a monster? He can’t  remember, thanks to a head injury. Lila’s the only living witness who can say  for certain—the eleven girls before her weren’t so lucky.

An ambitious  public defender manages to negotiate a re-trial, but Lila doesn’t believe a  fresh courtroom drama will be enough to spare Bradley’s life this time,  especially not when the death penalty is back on the table. Yet the more she  learns about Bradley’s earlier years, the more determined she is to help. Even  if means getting some convenient amnesia about the events of those three days  she’d been his captive. He isn’t the same person—brain scans, neurologists, and  psychologists confirmed it. He may never remember; they confirmed that,  too.

How far do second chances really stretch? Can those types of  memories stay buried for long?

Author Scott J. Toney interviews with Tuanna Carpo - - Lazarus, Man

1. What inspired you to write the book?

Lazarus has always fascinated me. Here in the Bible we have the miracle of Jesus bringing him back from the grave, but  the question I always had was what was his life after being brought back like? There is little known, and so I was driven to take what we do know from various sources and write a possibility for the days beyond when Jesus  brought him back. To us it is such a beautiful miracle, but I approached Lazarus as a man who feels lost and uncertain after returning to the living, especially after Jesus' crucifixion. I approached him as a person like the rest of us, who in that deep moment of darkness, turns to God
to heal him and show him his path. 

2. How did you come up with the names of your  characters?
 
Most names have been taken directly from the Bible, but for those names of created characters I just jotted down names until I had one with the right fit.

3. Other than writing what else do you like to do?

Sing, I love to sing, and I love to help others in any way I  can. And my family is my world.

4. Are you inspired by people you know for your stories? 

I am inspired by the love others show me  and by God. I find that if I follow God's direction and let him lead my pen,  then my writing will follow the path it was meant to follow. I pray a lot, no matter what I am writing.

5. What message were you trying to  impart to the reader?

When you feel the darkness the greatest, that is when God is strongest by your side. The
characters in the Bible were just like us. They felt pain, doubt and despair. We are all 'Man'. Turn to God and he will cherish and guide you.

6. Who is your favorite Author? 

Tad Williams, he writes Fantasy and I am a huge fantasy fan.

7. What is your favorite book?

The Dragon Bone Chair by  Tad Williams

8. How old were you when you started  writing?

It all began as a youth, around 10, when I wrote tales to go with the computer game Oregon Trail, creating stories to go with Jimmie getting typhoid or Susie getting small pox.

9. Are you  planning on writing more books?

I have 4 planned now. They may never stop. I am currently writing a Sci-Fi novel titled Bishop. Then I'll be writing 'The Book of Esther' done much in the style of Lazarus, Man. I'll also eventually be tackling sequels to Hearts of Avon and The Ark of Humanity.

10. When readers criticize your book does it give you pause about writing again or are you encouraged?

As writers we must have tough shells. Someone people will always criticize. Some criticism should be taken to heart and put in place to better our current and future  works, and other criticism is not valuable and is not worth worrying about at all. A writer has writing in their blood. I will never stop writing. I  just don't have that in my blood.

11. What advice would you give  those trying to write a book?

Write it now. Begin tonight. I write one  single spaced page per day. You'd be surprised how fast that adds up and how  much it will mean to you once you've finished your first book. And I just  can't tell you how much my readers' reviews have meant to me. Begin your book now. There is no day like today.
